"I know I've done a lot of wrong things in the past and hurt Ruoan." Zhang Kai took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "I can swear that from now on, I won't consider getting married again unless my bride is Xia Ruoan."
"I also hope that you can do what you say, treat Ruoan well, and cherish her for the rest of her life. If I find out that you have done anything wrong to her, even just a little bit, I will not hesitate to take her back!" Zhang Kai said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen." Leng Zexi smiled coldly, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, then nodded slightly at Zhang Kai, turned around and strode away.
After Leng Zexi left, the room fell into a brief silence.
Zhang Kai remained seated, motionless, not even tending to the wound on his hand. He simply silently picked up his teacup and continued to drink the already cold tea.
At this moment, Brother Hai, who had been waiting for news next door, heard Leng Zexi's footsteps leaving and rushed into the room to check on Zhang Kai's condition.
When he saw the shocking wound on Zhang Kai's hand, his heart tightened involuntarily. With a worried look on his face, he quickly stepped forward, took his hand, and examined it carefully.
"Oh my God! How did your hand get like this? Why don't you treat the wound and drink tea here leisurely!" The person who spoke had a face full of anxiety and concern, and his voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.
The person being questioned seemed not to hear, still holding the teacup and taking a sip of tea, as if he didn't care about his injured hand at all.
Seeing this, the person asking the question could no longer suppress his worry: "Just wait! I'll go get something from the store clerk to help you treat your wound first, and then I'll take you to the hospital for a thorough checkup."
Before he finished speaking, the man rushed to the front desk like a gust of wind.
Fortunately, stores usually have some simple medical supplies on hand in case of emergency.
Soon, the man returned to his seat with the required items.
I saw him skillfully and gently open the medicine box, take out disinfectant, cotton swabs, gauze and other items, and carefully began to treat the wound of the injured person.
At this moment, a drop of crystal clear water slipped from the injured person's drooping hand and fell to the ground with a slight sound.
The injured man seemed to suddenly realize something, and raised his head in disbelief. What caught his eyes was a tearful face - the owner of that face was none other than the usually domineering and arrogant Zhang Kai!
Seeing this scene, Brother Hai, who was bandaging his wound, was stunned for a moment. He didn't know where to start with the words of comfort that were on his lips.
After a moment's silence, Brother Hai stammered, "Well... well, please don't cry! As the saying goes, there are many better flowers in the world, so why bother to love only one?"
"With your conditions, it's not difficult to find a girl as beautiful as Xia Ruoan."
However, at this time Zhang Kai seemed to be immersed in his own sad world and turned a deaf ear to Hai Ge's consolation.
Seeing this, Brother Hai shook his head helplessly and continued, "Besides, even if you lose to Leng Zexi this time, it's not shameful. Don't take it too seriously."
However, no matter how earnestly Brother Hai tried to persuade him, Zhang Kai just shed tears silently without saying a word.
"It was me who personally pushed Ruoan into Zhou Mufan's arms. At that time, Ruoan had no intention of being with Zhou Mufan. It was all just an unexpected turn of events."
"Because of my conflict with those unruly street thugs, they attempted to use Ruoan as bait to force my submission. At the critical moment, it was Zhou Mufan who stepped forward and rescued Ruoan from danger."
"For this favor, Ruoan reluctantly accepted her relationship with Zhou Mufan. And later, the sinister force behind Zhou Mufan's betrayal of Ruoan was me, Zhang Kai."
"Leng Zexi is right. All I have given Ruoan is pain and regret. I am not qualified to talk about my love for Ruoan lightly." Zhang Kai's voice was low and sad, as if every word carried an unspeakable burden.
Upon hearing this, Brother Hai slowly stood up and gently patted Zhang Kai's shoulder with a silent force, as if conveying some understanding and comfort.
Then again, reality had already settled, and she was married. Unless they divorced, Zhang Kai's thoughts would likely fade away like a candle in the wind.
And I privately speculated that the possibility of divorce was so small that it was almost unrecognizable.
Brother Hai, I secretly calculated in my heart that the probability of their relationship ending and breaking up is probably close to zero.
How could Zhang Kai not understand all this? He silently picked up the necklace on the table and gently rubbed it with his fingertips.
It was not until this moment that Brother Hai's eyes fell on the necklace, and he suddenly realized why Leng Zexi had to make this trip in person.
It turned out that this was not just a gift, but also his deep affection for Xia Ruoan.
Zhang Kai dared to give this thing to her, and Leng Zexi did not get angry on the spot, which was already a great tolerance and restraint.
Zhang Kai won this necklace at a grand auction. Since then, he has treasured it like a treasure and has never shown it to anyone.
Who could have expected that this time he would choose to give such a precious item as a gift at Xia Ruoan's wedding.
"Could that necklace be the one you asked me to pass on to you before?" Brother Hai looked at Zhang Kai with a puzzled look on his face and asked.
If he had known that things would develop to this point, he would never have agreed to help transfer the necklace.
"That's right." Zhang Kai nodded expressionlessly, then slowly stood up, holding the necklace tightly in his hand, and turned around to leave.
"Wait! Where are you going? I have to take you to the hospital to treat your wound." Seeing Zhang Kai suddenly leaving, Brother Hai hurriedly packed up the things around him, quickly caught up with him, and asked with concern.
"Go back to the set." Zhang Kai responded in a low voice without turning his head.
"No, you must go to the hospital for a thorough check-up of your wound first. I just did a simple disinfection and bandaging. What if it leaves a scar?" Brother Hai was still worried and advised earnestly.
However, Zhang Kai seemed oblivious to Hai Ge's concern and continued walking forward, "No one will die."
What did this little pain mean to him? What really tore his heart apart was that he had actually pushed the woman he loved deeply into the arms of another man, and had hurt her not once, not twice.
Even though everything he did was motivated by his desire to possess her, the damage had already been done, and that was the cruel reality that could not be disputed.
When Leng Zexi stepped into the house, Xia Ruoan had already learned that he was looking for Zhang Kai.
She looked at Leng Zexi calmly and said in a firm tone, "Well... you went to find Zhang Kai." It seemed as if all this was within her expectations.
Leng Zexi nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. Then, he responded in a matter-of-fact tone, "Well, I returned the necklace to him. If you like it, I can buy you a better one."
His words revealed his doting and care for Xia Ruoan.
Hearing this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but smile slightly, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
She whispered, "You don't have to go through so much trouble. Just have it delivered by courier within the city. Why bother making this trip yourself? Aren't you tired?"
However, Leng Zexi shook his head and explained seriously, "It's not tiring! And it would be better to return it to him in person and explain it to him clearly. It can make him completely give up the idea of you, and also warn him to avoid any trouble in the future."
Having said that, Leng Zexi suddenly paused, as if he had some concerns in his heart.
Noticing Leng Zexi's strangeness, Xia Ruoan gently put down the kettle in his hand, walked up to him and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is there anything else you are worried about?"
Facing Xia Ruoan's question, Leng Zexi hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the truth: "Actually, you really don't need to worry too much about Zhang Kai."
"Our relationship wasn't harmonious to begin with. Every time I saw him, I wanted to turn around and leave immediately. Now, it's even worse."
After saying that, he reached out and gently pulled Xia Ruoan to his side, then gently let her sit on his lap.
"Ruoan, he is not wrong. It was you who saved him back then! Moreover, the time you were blocked by those hateful gangsters was ultimately because of Zhang Kai." Leng Zexi stared at her straight in the eyes and explained slowly.
It turned out that those gangsters had long noticed that Zhang Kai always followed Ruoan like a shadow.
So, with malicious intentions, they tried to capture Ruoan to threaten Zhang Kai.
However, no one had expected that at this critical moment, Zhou Mufan would appear at the scene so coincidentally and resolve the crisis.
Leng Zexi continued, "You and Zhou Mufan were able to be together in the first place, largely thanks to him. But your subsequent breakup was also caused by him. In fact, he always had feelings for you, but unfortunately, the method he used was completely wrong."
At this point, Leng Zexi gently held Xia Ruoan's hand, his tone sincere yet with a hint of worry: "Ruoan, if there are any misunderstandings between us in the future, or if we have different opinions on certain things, can you be honest with each other and make things clear?"
"I really don't want to be stuck in a cold war with you. That's a terrible feeling. You know, if some unnecessary misunderstandings lead to a rift between us, it would be more trouble than it's worth!"
After hearing this, Xia Ruoan nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Okay, I promise you."
"After dinner, we'll go back. You can see if there's anything else that needs fixing at home and I'll have someone fix it." Leng Zexi looked at her and said.
