Chapter 29: Feelings Heated
"You don't understand what goes on between women. I can handle it myself."
She felt that she had become accustomed to this delicate interpersonal relationship and was unwilling to explain it any further.
Xiao Zhiyu was worried, frowning and whispering, "How about I go and remind her to be careful with her attitude. You are my wife, even my sister can't bully you!"
Under the moonlight, Xiao Zhiyu's handsome face looked particularly solemn.
His eyes were full of protectiveness.
Ruan Chuxia blinked and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Having lived two lifetimes, she has witnessed many unhappy marriages, even in her previous life.
She deeply understands that many problems often begin to accumulate gradually because men do not care and do nothing at home!
Ruan Chuxia gently touched his arm with her fingers, a gentle smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
"Okay, I believe you."
"I really don't need your help, but you're willing to trust me, okay?"
Hearing this, Ruan Chuxia raised her head.
This scene made Xiao Zhiyu, who was standing in front of her, feel warm in his heart and his heartbeat quickened a little.
Looking into her eyes, Xiao Zhiyu did not answer immediately.
Instead, he paused for a moment, staring deeply at the sweet and lovely woman in front of him.
"Today, in front of everyone, how did you address me?"
"ah?"
Ruan Chuxia seemed unable to react to this question for a moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhiyu slowly lowered his eyes and let out a hoarse but magnetic voice from his throat.
"Xiao Xia..."
He pronounced the name in such an alluring way that Ruan Chuxia was stunned.
After noticing her change, Xiao Zhiyu curled his lips slightly, took a step forward and held hers.
Then he leaned over to her and whispered almost in her ear, "From now on, I'll call you Xiao Xia. I hope you can also call me by my name."
"Just like before, just call him by his first name."
Xiao Zhiyu added.
Ruan Chuxia's face turned even redder in an instant.
She lowered her head. The reason she acted close to Xiao Zhiyu just now was actually just to make Wang Lijuan angry.
Ruan Chuxia opened her mouth to refuse, but in the end she couldn't resist.
"Zhi Yu..."
Xiao Zhiyu suddenly laughed.
He squeezed her fingers again with satisfaction.
"Xiao Xia... Xiao Xia..."
His tone was full of fondness.
In the end, Ruan Chuxia couldn't stand this kind of address anymore, so she pursed her lips, walked quickly in front of him, and covered her ears!
Xiao Zhiyu followed closely behind, watching her receding back with a smile on his face.
The next morning, when Ruan Chuxia stepped into the hospital gate, she found that Xiao Zhiwei had been waiting there for a long time.
At this moment, she was sitting next to Yuan Cheng, chatting cordially with the old man Qi Yunhua.
The two seemed to be chatting very happily and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Seeing Ruan Chuxia appear, Xiao Zhiwei immediately stopped what he was doing.
He turned to face the person who came, still without much expression, just staring at Ruan Chuxia steadily.
Ruan Chuxia's gaze instantly became sharper, and she walked straight towards Xiao Zhiwei.
"Sister-in-law, can we go to a place where there is no one to talk?"
Ruan Chuxia spoke.
Xiao Zhiwei frowned slightly when he heard this, and stood up from the chair slowly.
Without answering or explaining anything, he just walked out silently.
Ruan Chuxia quickly caught up with her.
"If you have anything to say, tell me now."
Xiao Zhiwei's words revealed obvious impatience.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't do anything to displease you when we first met, did I?"
Ruan Chuxia's voice was calm.
These words made Xiao Zhiwei's pupils shrink instantly.
She looked up and looked at Ruan Chuxia standing in front of her in surprise.
Faced with such a reaction, Ruan Chuxia still kept smiling.
Xiao Zhiwei frowned and couldn't help thinking in his heart.
This Ruan Chuxia is much smarter than she appears.
I originally thought she was just a simple and ignorant country girl.
Now it seems that there are some things that cannot be underestimated.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhiwei couldn't help but turn his eyes away from Ruan Chuxia.
However, when Ruan Chuxia raised her eyebrows and looked at him, Xiao Zhiwei had to continue.
"I just think you're not good enough for Zhiyu."
She spoke unusually calmly.
“Because I’m from the countryside?”
Then, Ruan Chuxia asked without hesitation.
After hearing this question, Xiao Zhiwei was silent for a while.
Finally, in the face of Ruan Chuxia's persistent questioning, she bit her lip lightly.
"Not entirely."
Finally, a few words came out of her mouth.
"I just feel sorry for Lijuan."
After some hesitation, Xiao Zhiwei said this with a stern face.
"Lijuan and Zhiyu grew up together, and I watched them grow up day by day."
"Others may not understand the depth of her feelings for Zhiyu and how much she longs to marry him, but I see it with my own eyes and remember it in my heart."
After saying these words, a complicated look flashed in Xiao Zhiwei's eyes.
Hearing this, Ruan Chuxia raised her eyebrows slightly.
Only then did he understand that the reason why Xiao Zhiwei was dissatisfied with him was because of her pity for Lijuan.
Since Xiao Zhiwei had already spoken, he might as well blurt it out, speaking with a cold expression.
"I didn't agree with the marriage arranged by Grandpa in the first place. Today's society emphasizes free love. Zhiyu shouldn't be forced to marry a woman he doesn't even know just because of his elders. It's not fair to him."
"We know Lijuan very well. She has a clean family background, a high level of education, and is multi-talented and highly educated. Such a person is truly suitable to marry into our Xiao family as a daughter-in-law!"
As she spoke, her tone became increasingly sharp.
It seems that this marriage arranged by Mr. Xiao.
She was extremely dissatisfied.
Faced with all this, Ruan Chuxia just smiled quietly and did not rush to refute.
Xiao Zhiwei frowned and looked at the girl opposite him with confusion.
In her opinion, she had just told so many truths.
Logically speaking, Ruan Chuxia should either act very sad or make a big fuss.
But now the other party just kept smiling.
This reaction made her feel a little uneasy and nervous.
After a while, Ruan Chuxia blinked gently, and then slowly said: "Sister-in-law, do you want to know what I'm thinking in my heart?"
"What?"
Xiao Zhiwei immediately became alert.
"Actually, what I'm thinking is, if you really don't like me and firmly believe that Li Juan is the one who should marry Xiao Zhiyu, then what? This won't have any impact on us."
She added.
These words left Xiao Zhiwei speechless for a moment.
