As soon as Qiao Xin finished speaking, she regretted it and quickly covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes full of panic and self-blame.

She never thought that she would say such hurtful words to Ruoan. It was clearly just an accident, and she actually had an unshirkable responsibility in it.

At this moment, Qiao Xin's heart was beating like a drum, her palms were sweating with nervousness, and she couldn't help but reach out to hold Xia Ruoan's hand.

Xia Ruoan was obviously shocked by Qiao Xin's sudden action. She was stunned for a moment, but did not dodge.

Despite this, the hurt caused by those harsh words just now was real, like a sharp dagger piercing her heart.

"That's enough! If you insist on saying someone seduced Ruoan, it was me who seduced her! I'm grateful for your kindness in taking care of Ruoan over the years, so I won't hold you responsible this time."

"Now, apologize to Ruoan immediately and leave here. If you don't know what words you shouldn't say, it's best not to say them again!" Leng Zexi originally did not leave far because he was worried about Ruoan, and was now standing outside the door.

He never expected to hear such harsh words from Qiao Xin, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.

You know, it was his fault that the current situation came to this.

It was he who made Ruoan pregnant before marriage, but he never even gave her a formal confession or a bouquet of flowers. He just hastily let her keep the child and got a marriage certificate with him.

This was his deep debt to Ruoan, but what Qiao Xin said undoubtedly put all the blame on Ruoan alone.

He and Ruoan had such an intimate relationship! However, the truly innocent person in all this was undoubtedly Ruoan!

At first, Ruoan was drugged by others out of jealousy and lost his ability to control himself.

Later, he showed up in time and took Joan away, but who could have expected that even the crucial antidote was mixed up!

Faced with such a misfortune, Ruoan did not blame him. This tolerance and kindness filled his heart with endless gratitude.

But what right did Qiao Xin have to slander his beloved Ruoan like that? Ruoan was the one he had always carefully cherished and wanted to pamper and protect.

He couldn't help but angrily retort, "Your inability to get the love you want is entirely your own problem and has nothing to do with Ruoan! Besides, Ouyang treats Ruoan well because they are cousins."

Leng Zexi was also furious. "If you're truly dissatisfied, then go and talk to Ouyang. Tell him all the seven years you've spent on him, and demand that he be responsible for you to the end, no matter what!"

"You shouldn't have plotted against Ruoan just to get close to Ouyang. You should be secretly thankful that you didn't cause any substantial harm to Ruoan. Otherwise, I would never have let you off so easily!"

After saying this, Leng Zexi quickly reached out and gently pulled Xia Ruoan behind him, and protected her firmly with an extremely firm attitude.

"For seven whole years, you've been deeply in love with Ouyang, giving him your all, yet you haven't received even the slightest response from him. Do you think Ruoan doesn't understand the bitterness and grievance behind this deep affection?"

"Ruoan doesn't understand, but I do! I deeply understand this feeling because, like you, I've secretly had a crush on Ruoan for seven years. It's no exaggeration to say that without my help, Ruoan wouldn't have been able to even step foot in this school."

"During Ruoan's senior year, I had to worry about my heavy workload and also take care of the busy affairs at the company. But even so, I still focused most of my energy on Ruoan's academic performance."

"For an entire year, I only had less than three hours of sleep each day. And of that meager sleep time, two-thirds was spent on Ruoan."

"I worked tirelessly day and night to tutor her, organize materials, and answer her questions. All of this effort was for one goal: to help her successfully enter the school she longed for. Bijing, this is not only the school of her dreams, but also a way for me to bring us closer."

"Because she was completely focused on her studies and preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, I had planned to confess my feelings to her after she finished the exam. I personally checked everything, including the venue, the ceremony, and the roses. But because I was away for work for a month, the next time I came back, I heard that she had a boyfriend."

Leng Zexi felt regretful when he thought about what happened. If he had snatched the person away directly at that time, Ruoan would not have been looked down upon in the Zhou family for three years.

"But I saw Ruoan was happy with Zhou Mufan, so I withdrew. I even hid my feelings in my heart from Ruoan. I didn't want to make her feel embarrassed. Because I love her, as long as she is happy, I am satisfied, even if it's not me who is by her side."

"I love her, but I want her to be happy more." Leng Zexi held Xia Ruoan's hand and looked at Qiao Xin.

"But I knew that after Ruoan broke up, I rushed back as soon as possible. I would seize any opportunity I had. I'm the same as you in this regard. As long as Ruoan doesn't have a boyfriend and hasn't registered for marriage, I'll have sex with her if I have the chance. I'm also very selfish. As long as I can get her approval and love, I will do it."

“Just like last time when Ruoan was drugged, it was an accident that Ruoan and I were together. My friend gave Ruoan the wrong medicine. I have been training in the army since I was a child.

Not to mention Joan, even an adult man would have found it easy to stop her. That's because I couldn't say no to her. I could have left, but I didn't. And I had already planned it so I would have a reason to appear in front of Joan and pursue her in the future."

"So I don't want to hear any more slanderous words about Ruoan. You know what happened to the Wang family. I couldn't bear to say a single harsh word to her, so what right do you have to say that about her?"

"She advised you, why? Isn't it because she couldn't bear to see you get hurt? Because she knew very well that Ouyang only had Zhou Ling'er in his heart. If a man can reject you every day for seven years, isn't it obvious enough? He has no interest in you at all. Give yourself some dignity." Leng Zexi was also furious.

Xia Ruoan couldn't bear it after all when she saw her senior sister's pale face. She pulled Leng Zexi's hand and told him not to continue.

"Senior sister, if it is destined to happen, it will happen eventually. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it. Whether it is you or my senior brother, I hope you can be happy that way."

"I like Zhou Mufan. It's not that I'm heartless that I let go so quickly. It's just that I don't have that much affection for him. I like him, but I love myself more. I also have my family. I can't let myself down for someone who doesn't care about me and make my family worry about me." Xia Ruoan looked at her and persuaded her.
