Mu Shen, Lin Cai, Zhong Zishu, Ouyang Jin and Leng Zexi walked into the house talking and laughing. However, when their eyes met Xia Lin who was sitting on the sofa, they found that the other party was looking at them with an extremely resentful look.

Mu Shen and others couldn't help but look at each other, muttering to themselves: What on earth is going on?

Xia Lin glared at them angrily and said unhappily, "Your mother just asked. She wants to know when you guys plan to bring a girlfriend home!"

"Look at you, four grown men who couldn't even bring home a girl. Not only did you fail to protect your own cabbages, but they were also eaten by pigs from other families. What's even more infuriating is that you didn't even know to loosen the soil for other people's cabbages!"

"You guys didn't find girlfriends, didn't want to get married and have children, and I was the one who got beaten by your mother in the end." Xia Lin said to his sons with a resentful look on his face.

"What sin have I committed? I raised you and I have to care about your marriage and children. If you don't want to, why don't you just stay home and let me be scolded by your mother every day."

Hearing this, Mu Shen's mouth twitched. His eyes rolled, and he quickly made an excuse: "I accidentally hurt my hand just now, and it hurts so badly now. I have to go upstairs and apply some medicine." With that, he prepared to slip away.

Seeing this, Lin Cai on the side quickly agreed: "Brother, your hand is injured and it is not convenient to apply medicine. Let me help you!" So, the two of them hurriedly walked towards the stairs.

At this time, Zhong Zishu and Ouyang Jin exchanged glances with each other, quickly found their own reasons, and fled back to the room.

Leng Zexi was the only one left standing in the living room.

At this moment, he was in a very awkward situation, neither leaving nor staying. After all, he was the only one who had managed to get the cabbage!

Thinking of this, Leng Zexi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xia Lin watched them leave and complained indignantly, "Every time the topic of having a girlfriend or getting married comes up, they run away faster than rabbits! What a waste of their decent-looking faces!"

Xia Lin glanced at Leng Zexi and snorted unkindly, "You guys got rid of Zhou Mufan, right? Don't let me see them again, or I'll call the police to arrest him. He's sneaking around in my house, and it's obvious he's not a good person."

Leng Zexi hurriedly stepped forward and replied with an apologetic smile, "We took him to the clinic. Third Brother was so brave and kind that he sent him away when he was about to faint. He also specifically instructed us to wait for him to leave immediately and either leave on his own or ask his family to come pick him up. I don't think he would dare to show his face here again."

"Heroic?" Xia Lin couldn't help but feel both angry and amused when he heard this. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he said sarcastically, "You guys really know how to flatter yourself."

Leng Zexi raised his eyebrows: "Dad, we didn't let Big Brother beat him to death directly. Instead, we mercifully sent him to the clinic for treatment. Isn't this a typical act of bravery?"

"And I've already warned him. Even if he has ten times the courage, he won't dare to appear in front of Ruoan again."

As he spoke, a cold light suddenly flashed in Leng Zexi's eyes, as if it could freeze people instantly.

Xia Lin looked Leng Zexi up and down, thinking to himself: This guy is worthy of being a member of the Leng family. He is the same as his father and as shrewd as a fox.

Then he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, as long as you can handle this. Stop hanging around me and go find Joan. Don't bother me while I'm looking up the dictionary."

Leng Zexi responded repeatedly as if he had been pardoned, "Okay, then I'll go find Ruoan right away." After that, he turned around and left quickly. He breathed a sigh of relief as he walked, thinking to himself: Oh my God, I don't even dare to breathe in front of my father-in-law. The pressure is so great!

"Dad actually let you up so quickly?" Zhong Zishu, who had been waiting quietly at the stairs, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw him. You know, this speed was much faster than he had originally expected!

"Second brother." Leng Zexi raised his eyes and saw Zhong Zishu sitting at the stairs. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that this guy is waiting here to see me make a fool of myself?

"Come, let's chat, right on the rooftop. Lin Cai has already prepared food and drinks, and my brother and the others are waiting upstairs, just waiting for you." Zhong Zishu said as he looked at Leng Zexi.

"Okay, but you go up first. I have to go see Ruoan first." Leng Zexi nodded in response after hearing this, and then added, "I'll ask Ruoan if he wants to go up together."

"No need. Ruoan went to bed a long time ago after taking a shower. Mom just walked out of her room. I guess she was too happy to come back today. She went shopping and picked oranges, and she was tired." Zhong Zishu's eyes were full of gentle smiles when he mentioned Ruoan.

"No, I have to go in and take a look before I go up." Leng Zexi frowned and said with a hint of worry, "She's pregnant now and always feels hot and unbearable. She also likes to kick the quilt when she sleeps at night. What if she accidentally catches a cold? I have to keep an eye on her."

Zhong Zishu looked at him deeply after hearing what he said, then nodded slightly in agreement, "Okay, then go and come back soon, we are all waiting for you upstairs."

Leng Zexi tiptoed into Xia Ruoan's warm and unique room. As soon as he stepped inside, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. After all, this room had witnessed Xia Ruoan's growth from childhood to adulthood.

Looking around, Leng Zexi found that the entire room was decorated with elements of nature.

Perhaps it is because of Xia Ruoan’s love for plants that the design of the house cleverly combines the styles of forests and fields.

The walls are painted with lifelike trees, flowers, plants and small animals, making people feel as if they are in a fairy-tale world.

The moonlight shines through the window, illuminating the green decorations, making them appear more vibrant. This atmosphere is just like Xia Ruoan himself, always bringing vitality and warmth to the people around him.

Moreover, the exquisite murals on the wall were obviously created by the master artist Zhong Zishu.

The lines are smooth and natural, the colors are bright and eye-catching, and every stroke is poured with the artist's hard work and emotion. The seemingly simple room actually contains endless ingenuity and care, which can be said to be a different world.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan, who had been lying quietly on the bed, suddenly became restless. She stretched out her little hand in a daze and suddenly threw the quilt aside.

Leng Zexi couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. He walked over, carefully covering Xia Ruoan with the quilt, and gently patted her shoulders, as if coaxing a child to sleep.

After a while, only after confirming that Xia Ruoan had fallen asleep did Leng Zexi go upstairs with peace of mind.

However, when he arrived at the living room, he was teased by his good friend Lin Cai: "Mr. Leng, how can you be said to be covering me with the quilt? If someone didn't know, they would think you were going to sleep with me too!"

As he spoke, Lin Cai picked up a can of beer next to him and threw it towards Leng Zexi.

"If Ruo An is pregnant, I won't drink!" Leng Zexi threw the wine glass back to the person opposite with a firm look on his face.

Lin Cai, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Hey, you're not trying to get pregnant, so what's the harm in drinking a little? Where did you hear these rules from?"

However, Leng Zexi explained seriously: "Even if I'm not trying to get pregnant, if Ruoan smells alcohol on me, she'll feel uncomfortable."

After saying that, he reached out to take the tea handed over by Mu Shen and drank it, "Brother, your tea-making skills are pretty good."

"It was made by Lin Cai. He is the best at making tea in our family." Mu Shen explained.

"That's because he makes the most mistakes and is always punished to make tea." Zhong Zishu said helplessly.

Mu Shen deeply agreed with Leng Zexi's statement and nodded in agreement, "Zexi is right, smoking and drinking should indeed be avoided as much as possible during pregnancy.

Don't listen to Lin Cai's nonsense, he's a single guy and doesn't even have a girlfriend!

As soon as these words came out, Lin Cai immediately showed a helpless expression and retorted: "Brother, you are not right to say that. You yourself don't have a girlfriend yet, so how can we, as your younger brothers, have the nerve to go before you to find a girlfriend, get married and have children! Besides..."

As he spoke, Lin Cai turned to look at Leng Zexi and continued, "As for Ruoan, I was originally thinking of letting her stay for a few more years. I didn't expect you, Leng Zexi, to actually have such ambitions towards Ruoan. It's really like 'even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows'. He's actually set his sights on Ruoan!"

At this time, Ouyang Jin, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but speak: "Third brother, please stop talking. You still have the nerve to say that. If it weren't for you bringing Leng Zexi into the family, there wouldn't be any of this happening today!"

Seeing the looks from his elder and second brothers, Lin Cai lowered his head and drank. If he continued talking, he would be scolded.

"Leng Zexi, we're all quite wealthy, and we know a lot of people. If you treat Ruoan badly, we can still do something about it. Besides, we each have a copy of your letter of guarantee. If you ever let Ruoan down, your situation will definitely be worse than Zhou Mufan's."

"This is also the reason why I beat Zhou Mufan in front of you. I hope you can remember it." Mu Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Leng Zexi nodded. "I know what Big Brother is worried about, but I still say that I won't let her down. If I really did something to let Ruo'an down, you don't have to do anything. I won't let myself go. I will use the rest of my life to prove it to you."

Seeing that he was serious, Mu Shen and his brothers changed the subject.
