After receiving the message from Leng Zexi, Ouyang turned the steering wheel without hesitation, turned the car around quickly, and sped towards Leng Zexi's home.

Along the way, Ouyang was full of curiosity: "I wonder what my cousin and the others will ask Leng Zexi to bring me this time?"

With this expectation, Ouyang soon arrived at Leng Zexi's doorstep.

He entered the password with ease and the door opened.

As I walked into the living room, I saw Leng Zexi sitting on the sofa, busy processing documents.

Those documents were obviously just delivered by the assistant. They were densely covered with various data and texts. Each one was waiting for Leng Zexi to carefully check and sign his name.

Leng Zexi was focused on the work at hand. He just raised his chin slightly and used his eyes to signal Ouyang to look in the direction of the dining table.

It turned out that the elders from several families had recently enthusiastically formed a team to go out for a trip, leaving the two younger generations, Ouyang and Leng Zexi, alone at home.

For Ouyang, returning to the Ou family meant facing an empty room with only a few servants.

In comparison, Leng Zexi rarely even sees servants here. Only every once in a while will the old house send servants to clean the house and tidy up.

So most of the time, Leng Zexi hardly sees any servants when he is at home.

Ouyang looked in the direction Leng Zexi pointed and saw all kinds of packages placed on the dining table.

When you get closer, you will see that most of the items inside are delicious food and local specialties.

Seeing this, Ouyang picked up a bag of fragrant beef jerky, tore open the package impatiently, ate it, and handed it to Leng Zexi.

"You haven't eaten yet? Do you need me to make some more food later?"

"In this case, you can stay here and eat before going home, or you can just stay here." Leng Zexi looked at the other party with a smile and asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang turned around, met Leng Zexi's gaze, and replied with a smile: "Then please make more. I'll eat here before going back. Anyway, I'll eat alone when I get home."

"No problem, I'll go to the kitchen and prepare it! Can you help me take a look at the remaining documents? If there are no major problems, I can just sign them later."

Leng Zexi spoke while gently kneading his sore neck.

Ouyang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and teased, "I say, why do I feel that you asking me to come over to pick up something is just a cover, and your real purpose is actually to ask me to help you check these files, right?"

"You really trust me."

Leng Zexi responded frankly: "Of course I trust you! You know, Ningning also has a stake in our company, so I firmly believe that even if it's just for Ningning, you definitely won't deliberately harm me."

Ouyang obviously did not expect Leng Zexi to say this so bluntly.

After a moment of hesitation, a bright smile spread across her face: "Is it really that obvious how good I am to Ningning?"

"I have always had the same preference for you all year round, okay!" Ouyang looked at the other party seriously, thinking that he had to explain it in detail.

"Come on! People are like fingers, some are longer than others. Besides, people's hearts are biased towards one side."

"Look at you. Whether it's giving gifts or doing other things, you always act like you treat everyone equally, but what's the reality?"

"Every time I see these three brothers, aren't they the first to call Ningning and the first to pick up Ningning?" The person opposite said mercilessly.

"That's because you keep talking about wanting to take Ningning away to be your son!"

"Otherwise, Sui Sui and Nian Nian would have definitely started making trouble with me, insisting that you were biased."

"But now, they actually hope that you will favor Ningning more, and it would be even better if you could take Ningning away directly!" Leng Zexi shook his head as he spoke, and he seemed to think these little guys were quite interesting.

If you think about it carefully, these three children together are not even ten years old, but they already know how to compete for favor in various ways. It's really laughable.

They can even come up with a trick like rejecting Ningning, which shows how hard they try to get more attention.

After hearing this, Ouyang couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "How about...if you are really willing, just adopt Ningning to me."

"By then, everything in our Ou family will belong to Ningning. What do you think?"

"Would you like to consider this proposal carefully?" After saying that, Ouyang actually began to think about this matter seriously.

"Ruoan is back. You can talk to Ruoan about this matter. If she agrees, I naturally have no objection." Leng Zexi looked at the person in front of him calmly and spoke slowly.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if Ruoan really wants to adopt Ningning to the Ouyang family, he himself would probably find it difficult to stop him.

Even if Ningning was adopted, the two families lived so close that they could still see each other often, so it was no big deal.

However, Ouyang knew very well that Ruoan would never agree to such an adoption.

"By the way, I just went to your company to look for you, but they said you were out."

"When you came here, I saw that you looked unhappy. What happened?" Leng Zexi couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Ouyang didn't even look up. He just flipped through the documents in his hand and replied casually, "I went to the flower market to buy some cacti for Ningning and the rest of the family. Who knew I would run into Qiao Xin there?"

"Oh? Is she back too?" Leng Zexi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard that. He turned to look at Ouyang and happened to catch a hint of helplessness in the other's eyes.

Without thinking too much, one can guess from the look in her eyes that Qiao Xin probably came back this time with the intention of interfering in Zhao Han's current marriage life.

Ouyang thought about it and shook his head helplessly, sighing, "She's back, but she's still the same as before! She always feels that as long as someone she likes, that person must be hers."

"She keeps saying she likes Zhao Han, but none of the things she actually does make people feel comfortable. They only hurt others and benefit herself."

When Ouyang thought of this, he couldn't help but feel bad for Zhao Han. How could he be favored by such a woman?

At this time, Leng Zexi, who was standing by, heard this and turned his gaze to Ouyang Xiangxiang and asked, "Did you mention her?"

Ouyang nodded and replied, "Yes, after all, we are from the same school. I really can't bear to see Zhao Han being harassed by her like this."

"Besides, Zhao Han has no feelings for her at all. If she continues to be so stubborn, she will be the one who gets hurt the most in the end."

Having said that, Ouyang knew in his heart that what he said was a bit harsh, but he was really helpless about Qiao Xin's personality.

Qiao Xin is the typical person who shines with a little sunshine and opens a dyeing factory with a little color.

If you give her a little bit of good face on a normal day, she will become complacent.

However, once her own interests are involved, she will not hesitate to be self-centered and completely disregard the feelings of others.

This kind of spoiled personality is really hard to get along with.

Leng Zexi frowned after hearing this and said in a deep voice, "You really shouldn't say such things."

"Given Qiao Xin's temper, if you criticize her now, she'll just end up resentful of you."

"Back then, you resolutely rejected that girl's deep affection, but now? You're actually asking her to completely let go of the person she loves."

Leng Zexi sighed helplessly and said, "All of this is karma between her and Zhao Han! If it weren't for Zhao Han's blind indulgence and tolerance, how could she find such an opportunity to destroy Zhao Han's current marriage life!"

Then, Leng Zexi seemed worried and kindly reminded her, "I advise you, if you run into her again next time, just run away without saying a word."

"Otherwise, she'll end up pestering you again, and you'll be in big trouble then!"

After listening to these words silently, Ouyang couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Could it be that he was so unlucky as to be entangled by this woman again? However, thinking carefully, based on the current situation, it seemed that this possibility was not very high.

After all, her heart and eyes were filled with Zhao Han. Even though they experienced all kinds of twists and turns and coincidences, in the end the two of them were still inseparable and entangled.

It’s a pity that Zhao Han today is no longer the infatuated man who silently guarded Qiao Xin in the past.

Qiao Xin once cried with deep regret, regretting that the person she had pursued so hard turned out to be such a heartless person like herself.

However, in fact, as early as the beginning, Ouyang had told her frankly and made it clear that he was not Qiao Xin's destined lover, and the only one who was truly worthy of her cherishing was Zhao Han.

However, Qiao Xin was obsessed with her life at the time and turned a deaf ear to all these advices. In the end, she missed the beautiful marriage that should have belonged to her.

"Don't worry, I won't interfere in the future. After all, what you said is right. It's better to stay away from other people's karma. I will stay away from them in the future." Ouyang Ting advised.

"I'm glad you understand. You will say that Qiao Xin is Zhao Han's daughter." Leng Zexi thought about it and realized that only that child could make him feel distressed.

"Yes, I've seen that kid a few times at the academy. He looks like a pitiful kid." Ouyang did not deny it.
