"Here, eat this, it's very sweet." Leng Zexi smiled and carefully handed the orange that he had just peeled and confirmed to be sweet to the other person.

Lin Cai took the bright yellow orange with some surprise and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that a young master like you wouldn't have an easy life!"

Leng Zexi nodded slightly, his eyes deep and distant, as if recalling the difficult years of the past: "Yes, being a young master is really not that easy. Since I was five years old, my family sent me to the army to undergo rigorous training, all for the sake of saving my life."

Having said that, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he quickly regained his composure, as if those hardships had long since become the cornerstone of his growth.

Xia Ruo'an, who was standing by, listened quietly to their conversation. Subconsciously, she reached out and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly. A wave of worry inevitably surged in her heart: "Our baby shouldn't face so many dangers in the future, right?"

Leng Zexi quickly reached out his hand, gently covering her little hand on her belly, and softly comforted her: "Don't worry, our babies will be fine."

"I will definitely not let them be exposed to the public too early, and I will do my utmost to protect their safety, so don't have any wild thoughts."

Seeing that Xia Ruoan still had a slightly frown on her face and looked worried, Ouyang Jin quickly came forward and gently ruffled her soft hair. He said firmly, "Ruoan, don't worry too much. I'm your fourth brother! I promise you that you and the babies will never be harmed."

Xia Ruoan raised her head and looked at Leng Zexi and her brothers who were so caring and loving towards her and her child. She finally smiled with relief, "Well, I believe you."

In fact, she had heard from her second brother before that her fourth brother's status was very important now, and he even had someone assigned to take care of him.

As long as they are around, it seems that nothing can't be solved.

Zhou Mufan stood quietly outside the yard, his eyes fixed on Xia Ruoan.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan was smiling brightly and carefreely, and that smile was as gorgeous and dazzling as the most beautiful flower in spring.

However, this innocent smile made Zhou Mufan feel bitter and painful, because he had not seen Xia Ruoan so happy for a long time.

Recalling the first time he met Xia Ruoan, it was her pure and unadulterated smile that attracted him deeply.

From that moment on, Zhou Mufan secretly vowed to pursue this girl with an angelic smile.

But who could have imagined that two people who once loved each other so much would end up in such a situation today.

As his thoughts drifted, Zhou Mufan couldn't help but think of Xia Ruan stroking his belly just now.

Once upon a time, Xia Ruoan told him about her future plans with great anticipation: after graduating from graduate school, they would get a marriage certificate, hold a romantic wedding, and then have two lovely babies together.

She said that if a couple quarrels in the future, each of them will have a little helper to mediate and reconcile.

What a beautiful scene it was back then! But now, the child is indeed in Xia Ruoan's belly, but unfortunately, this child has nothing to do with him.

He didn't even have the chance to stand next to Ruoan.

Just as Zhou Mufan was lost in his painful memories, a sarcastic voice suddenly rang out: "Have you seen enough? If you have, get out of here as soon as possible!"

The person who spoke was Xia Ruoan's father, Xia Lin. Xia Lin stared at Zhou Mufan with a cold expression, his eyes full of contempt and disgust.

Zhong Yanyan stood quietly by the side, pursed her lips and said nothing, but her face, which was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, said it all.

She was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Mufan's arrival. Finally, she broke the silence, looked at Zhou Mufan coldly, and said bluntly: "Zhou Mufan, get out of here! Our family does not welcome people like you!"

Zhong Yanyan raised a scornful smile and continued sarcastically, "Come to think of it, I really should thank you. If it weren't for those messy women you provoked, how could my Ruoan have such a happy marriage now?"

After saying that, she couldn't help but sneer.

Then, Zhong Yanyan turned her gaze to the few people beside Ruoan, and proudly pointed at them and said to Zhou Mufan, "See? These are Ruoan's brothers. They are all very outstanding, and you will never be able to reach the level of people in your lifetime."

"Take Lin Cai for example. I'm sure you're familiar with him, right? Most of your Zhou family's business was generously given to you by Lin Cai. He did it out of respect for Ruoan."

"And you, on the other hand, actually dare to look down on Ruoan's background. Don't you think about who you are? In terms of background and appearance, how can my Ruoan be inferior to you? It's obviously you who are not worthy of my Ruoan!"

"Do you know why we didn't let Lin Cai tell Ruoan about her life story before? Because we wanted Ruoan to see what kind of person you are. In fact, we gave you two chances to get to know Ruoan and learn about her life story, but it's a pity that you didn't cherish it."

"The first time was when you refused to go with Ruoan to meet her brother. At that time, except for the eldest brother Mu Shen who was out of the country, Zishu, Lincai, and Xiaojin all went, but you didn't go. You went to the bar instead."

"Another time, we, as parents, were worried and wanted to go over to meet you. Actually, we didn't hold out hope at that time. We even wanted to use that meeting to make Ruoan break up with you, because Ruoan's brothers didn't like you as their brother-in-law."

"It's just that we didn't expect you to not come. What a coincidence that you're having dinner at the same hotel as us. That's the hotel An An likes to eat at. The one we booked before was the one you liked."

As Xia Lin spoke, he felt that God had a vision and allowed Ruoan to recognize the true nature of this scumbag sooner.

"Everything you said to your friends, words that belittled my daughter Ruoan, I, Ruoan's mother, and Ruoan all heard. You are very powerful. You are the first person who made my daughter so sad."

"Those of us who dote on Ruoan, give her money to spend, and protect her have to read her face and make her happy. Why do you make her sad? Her food, clothing, and other expenses have nothing to do with you." Xia Lin looked at him and questioned.

Zhou Mufan took a few steps back when he heard Xia's father's question.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Mufan looked at them sadly and said.
