Xia Ruoan and Zhou Mufan have been in love for three years. She happily plans to introduce her boyfriend to her parents so that they can feel at ease.

This way, her parents should be able to rest assured that she can stay here to work and live.

Xia Ruoan called Zhou Mufan, her voice filled with unconcealed joy: "Mufan, when can you come over? My parents are already at the hotel!"

She paused and continued, "My parents have come all the way here to see you, so you have to behave well and don't let them down." Otherwise, it won't be so easy for you to marry me home.

However, Xia Ruoan was caught off guard by Zhou Mufan's slightly irritated response from the other end of the line: "Something happened at the company and I can't leave. You guys can eat whatever you want. The cost will be on me and I'll transfer it to you later."

Hearing these words, Xia Ruoan's heart was instantly poured with a bucket of cold water. The smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by an indescribable loneliness.

She had never expected such an answer and couldn't help but feel disappointed. "I told you two days in advance. My parents came all the way here just to see you. It doesn't matter if you're not free now, but you should be free tonight, right? We can make an appointment tonight."

After saying that, Xia Ruoan quickly added: "Don't transfer money to me, I have my own money."

"Ruo'an, be good. I really can't spare the time today, and I won't have the time tomorrow either. Just take care of your parents yourself."

Zhou Mufan didn't even give her a chance to respond, and continued to speak on his own: "Okay, I have something else to do here, so I won't talk about it for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation, then picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

At this time, Liang Zian, who was sitting nearby, cast his gaze at Zhou Mufan, who had a calm expression on his face, and began to persuade him, "Mufan, are you really not going to go meet Ruoan's parents?"

"They all came here specifically to see you because they knew about your relationship. Ultimately, it's out of concern for their own daughter! Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?"

Liang Zian paused, then continued, "Actually, they just want to see what kind of person you are. It's a bit rude of you to not show up when you're clearly free."

"And if you truly want to marry Ruoan, you should be more attentive and polite to her parents. Otherwise, if you're given a hard time when you ask for marriage, you'll be so sorry!"

Liang Zian knew very well that if he wanted to successfully win the girl's heart, it was absolutely crucial to leave a good impression on her parents.

Zhang Kai raised the corners of his mouth slightly and uttered a scornful laugh. He then turned his gaze to Liang Zian and said with a half-smile on his face, "So, are you planning to use the same method you used on Nan Yi on Mu Fan? In my opinion, there's absolutely no need for that!"

"You and the Nan family are of similar background and social status, so it's only natural that you respect Nan Yi more. However, Mu Fan and Xia Ruoan are very different! Only Xia Ruoan and her family would try to curry favor with Mu Fan."

At this point, Zhang Kai's eyes revealed a hint of contempt, and he continued to mock mercilessly: "Look at Xia Ruoan, she hasn't even graduated yet, but she can't wait to bring her parents to meet Mu Fan. Isn't it obvious that she wants to force Mu Fan to marry her!"

"With the major she studied, even after graduation, she would only be able to grow vegetables and flowers. That's why she wanted to quickly settle down her relationship with Mu Fan before graduation."

At this moment, none of the three of them noticed Xia Ruoan standing at the door.

Father and Mother Xia were worried because they hadn't seen their daughter return for a long time, so they went out together to look for her.

When they saw their daughter leaning against the wall with red eyes, they exchanged glances and hurried forward.

Just as Xia's mother was about to ask about the situation, she suddenly heard the name "Xia Ruoan" coming from the box.

"Zhang Kai, don't talk nonsense. Ruo'an is not the kind of person who climbs up the social ladder. She is very outstanding, otherwise Mu Fan would not have been with her for three years."

Liang Zian also believed in his girlfriend's judgment. He looked at Zhou Mufan firmly, hoping that he would come forward to clarify things with Xia Ruan.

Xia Ruoan is not someone who values fame and fortune.

However, contrary to his wishes, Zhou Mufan still hadn't spoken.

Zhang Kai sneered and retorted, "Stop kidding yourself! You don't know why Mu Fan pursued Xia Ruoan so hard back then, do you?"

"It was just a bet! We agreed that the loser would have to find a woman nearby to confess his love to. Coincidentally, Xia Ruoan was busy planting vegetables next to the court at the time, and there was no one else to choose from, so Mu Fan had no choice but to find her. Who would have thought that Xia Ruoan would flatly refuse."

At this point, Zhang Kai changed the subject, staring at Zhou Mufan with a half-smile and jokingly said, "To be honest, Mufan was very competitive and couldn't swallow this humiliation, so he pursued Xia Ruoan. I just didn't expect that he would succeed and actually date her for three years. It was indeed a bit surprising."

Zhang Kaiqing burst into laughter, not knowing what he was thinking about. He asked uncertainly, "Your previous girlfriends all broke up after only three months of dating, but this time you've been able to last three years. You're not really attracted to a vegetable farmer, are you?"

"Zhang Kai, you are really going too far! You look down on people who grow vegetables. If you have any doubts, don't touch vegetables again in the future!" Liang Zian knew very well that Zhang Kai was a bit unreliable and often spoke without thinking.

But even so, it is absolutely intolerable to wantonly belittle others like this. After all, Xia Ruoan is also his good friend.

Liang Zi'an couldn't help but turn and look at Zhou Mufan, who had been standing aside, seemingly unconcerned. His brows furrowed tightly, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Mufan, why don't you say something? Are you just going to let Zhang Kai slander Ruo'an like this? Don't forget, you two have been together for three years. Don't you understand what kind of girl she is? "

However, facing Liang Zian's questioning, Zhou Mufan simply responded calmly: "What am I talking about? Actually, what Zhang Kai said is not wrong."

Hearing this, Liang Zian's eyes widened and he stared at Zhou Mufan in disbelief.

Zhou Mufan continued indifferently, "Xia Ruoan is no different from the girlfriends I've dated before. We're just playing around."

"I thought she was pretty pleasing to the eye at first, so I used her as a shield. Honestly, there's no way I could truly fall in love with a woman like her who comes from an ordinary background."

"What's my background? What's her status? The majors we're studying now are both useless. How could I possibly marry her?"

"I'll dump him in a few days."

Zhou Mufan saw Liang Zian's unbelievable look and sneered, "You don't think I really like her and want to marry her? How is that possible? Not to mention me, my family will definitely not agree to me marrying her."

"I will be the president of a listed company in the future. Xia Ruoan is just a graduate student. Her major will only allow her to deal with farmland in the future. How can I take her out?" Zhou Mufan said sarcastically.

"But this time I really didn't know how to behave. I actually wanted to ask her parents to come over and pressure me to marry her. It's really a fantasy. Is she worthy of marrying me? I won't go to see her." Zhou Mufan said as he picked up a piece of vegetable and ate it. For some reason, he suddenly paused.

When Mr. Xia heard this, he became furious and was about to rush into the house.

However, at this moment, Xia Ruoan, who was tightly embraced by Xia's mother, caught a glimpse of his father's actions, hurriedly reached out to grab him, and shook his head gently at him.

Then, he whispered, "Dad, let's go."
