Xia Ruoan and his group returned much earlier than originally expected.

It turned out that there was a small incident - Zhao Shuhui was unfortunately bitten by a snake!

The medicine bags they carried to repel snakes and insects were all soaked in water and completely lost their effectiveness.

In desperation, everyone had to end their trip early and return the same way.

Fortunately, despite this unexpected situation, the goal of their trip has been achieved beyond expectations.

When Xia Ruoan saw Leng Zexi coming to pick her up from afar, the joy in her heart instantly turned into action, and she ran over without even bothering to hold the suitcase in her hand.

"Slow down!" Leng Zexi watched his beloved running towards him, his heart tightening and filled with worry.

He hurriedly put away the phone in his hand, took a big step towards Xia Ruoan, and took her into his arms steadily at the last moment.

"You're finally back." Leng Zexi gazed at the slightly thin Xia Ruoan in front of him affectionately, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"I must not have taken good care of myself recently. I have lost so much weight."

"When I get home tonight, I'll cook you a delicious meal myself and make sure you're plump and healthy."

After saying that, Leng Zexi gently rubbed Xia Ruoan's soft hair, his tone gentle and full of care.

At the same time, the teachers, seniors who returned with Xia Ruoan, both their wives and husbands, also arrived at the airport one after another to welcome their significant other.

For a moment, the joy of reunion filled the entire waiting hall.

However, Zhao Han was the only one standing there alone in the crowd, with no one coming to greet him.

In fact, it was not that he had not told his family about his return. However, when he passed the news to his wife, the response he got was just three short and cold words - I know.

Not only that, his wife even made it clear that she was unable to come and greet him because she was busy.

Just when everyone thought that no one would come to pick him up at the airport and wanted to give him a ride back, something unexpected happened.

Qiao Xin actually showed up, and her purpose was obviously to come and greet Zhao Han.

She walked up to Zhao Han without hesitation, hugged his arm tightly, and then greeted everyone present with a smile.

Witnessing this scene, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and the atmosphere instantly became quite awkward.

Especially the teachers, when they saw the two of them being so intimate, they couldn't help but frown slightly.

In the past, when men and women were unmarried, they might feel sincerely relieved to see such a scene.

But now, this situation can only make them feel disappointed.

After all, Qiao Xin had already left the college, and it was really inconvenient for the teachers to interfere too much in her personal emotional state and behavior.

But Zhao Han is completely different. As someone who is still in college and has a family, wife and children, his words and deeds should be subject to more constraints and regulations.

At this moment, Teacher Wen, who had been silently observing the development of the situation, finally couldn't help but speak to Zhao Han, who was stunned in his place, and said, "Zhao Han, you must always be mindful of your own limits! You have a wife and daughter now, after all."

Zhao Han looked at Qiao Xin in front of him, his heart in a panic. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He hurriedly reached out and gently pulled Qiao Xin away, and said nervously: "Qiao Xin, don't do this."

At this moment, there was no trace of joy on his face, but instead it was full of embarrassment and awkwardness.

Qiao Xin never expected that Zhao Han would push her away without hesitation in front of so many people.

At that moment, a trace of sadness that was hard to conceal flashed across her beautiful eyes, but she still didn't want to make Zhao Han feel embarrassed.

So he silently stepped back a short distance, but his steps still followed Zhao Han closely.

"I really didn't mean anything else. I just happened to see the circle of friends posted by my seniors and learned that you were coming back today, so I thought of coming to pick you up at the airport."

"Or... let me take you back?" Qiao Xin raised her head, looked at Zhao Han cautiously, and said softly.

Zhao Han stared blankly at Qiao Xin, who seemed so humble and cautious at the moment, and his heart couldn't help but soften.

When had he ever seen Qiao Xin like this? After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't bear to let her continue to be embarrassed like this, and he also felt that he could take this opportunity to explain the matter to her face to face.

So, Zhao Han turned around and nodded slightly to the teacher and other senior brothers and sisters, and said politely: "Teacher, we will go back first."

At this moment, a senior sister in the crowd seemed a little worried and couldn't help but remind him, "Hey, Zhao Han, don't forget, you are now a married man!"

Zhao Han nodded when he heard this. "Qiao Xin and I have nothing to do with each other. She is just my younger sister now."

Hearing this, Qiao Xin's face instantly became very embarrassed.

She forced a smile, nodded slightly to the teacher and the senior brothers and sisters present, then lowered her head and quickly followed Zhao Han to leave.

However, at this moment, everyone showed displeasure on their faces when facing Qiao Xin.

Some people couldn't help but complain: "Has Qiao Xin lost her mind? Back then, she would commit suicide because of Ouyang!"

"And now, she's still chasing after a married man. There are so many men in the world, why is she so stubborn?"

Another person took over the conversation and said, "I always thought she was a sunny and cheerful child, but looking at what she has become now, it's really hard to understand what she is thinking."

"Could it be that in her eyes, apart from those love entanglements, there is nothing else important? Just like that, a good seedling is completely ruined." Zhao Shuhui was also deeply disappointed after witnessing this scene.

Although the people around did not respond out loud, everyone was actually thinking the same thing in their hearts.

At this time, a senior brother shook his head and sighed, "Alas, Zhao Han is really foolish. He clearly knows Qiao Xin's situation, but he still keeps in touch with her, and his actions are completely inappropriate."

"No wonder his wife insisted on divorcing him. This is all his own fault!"

At this moment, Xia Ruoan happened to see Zhao Han getting into Qiao Xin's car, and he couldn't help but pray silently in his heart, hoping that Zhao Han would not regret his actions today in the future.

Leng Zexi greeted Xia Ruoan's teachers and senior students one by one with a smile, then turned and left, holding Xia Ruoan's hand.

He opened the car door like a gentleman, helped Xia Ruoan sit in the passenger seat, and then walked around to the other side to get in the car.

As the engine roared, the car slowly drove away.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shangguan Lan holding his daughter and getting out of a car.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes and thought to herself: What a coincidence!

Leng Zexi, who was sitting next to her, also noticed this. He turned around and looked at Xia Ruoan, saying softly, "Stay away from Qiao Xin from now on."

Xia Ruoan pursed her lips, looked at him and said, "I just saw Shangguan Lan and his daughter get out of the car. It seems that they came here specifically to pick up Senior Brother Zhao."

"But who would have thought that Senior Brother Zhao would actually leave with Senior Sister Qiao."

After saying that, she shook her head slightly, as if she felt a little helpless about Senior Brother Zhao's behavior.

Xia Ruoan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the situation is not good."

"Given the personalities of our teacher and fellow disciples, I'm afraid they won't help Senior Brother Zhao conceal this matter."

Xia Ruoan then sighed, "It's no wonder Shangguan Lan wants a divorce. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to tolerate this kind of thing and would have filed for divorce long ago."

Hearing this, Leng Zexi held Xia Ruoan's hand tightly, looked at her firmly, and said seriously: "The two of us will never go that far."

"I'm not someone as indecisive as Zhao Han."

Xia Ruoan felt the warmth coming from Leng Zexi's palm and responded, "Well, I believe you."

Leng Zexi did not take Ruoan home, but went straight to the company without stopping.

As soon as he entered the office, Leng Zexi said softly to Ruoan, "You must not have gotten enough rest on the plane, right? Lie down on the bed for a while. I'll call you when we get back."

"I have some urgent official business that needs to be dealt with right away." His words were full of apology and concern.

Hearing this, Ruoan quickly responded, "Actually, there's really no need to go through so much trouble. I've already planned to take a taxi back, or you could arrange for a driver to pick me up."

After saying that, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

However, Leng Zexi looked at her seriously and said affectionately, "I just want to see you sooner."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently laid Ruoan on the bed, then leaned over slightly and gently kissed her apple-like pink cheek.

Then, as if afraid of disturbing her, he added softly, "Okay, rest in peace. I won't disturb you."

As he spoke, he gently stroked the faint dark circles under her eyes, his eyes full of heartache.

Ruoan felt Leng Zexi's consideration and love, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She nodded obediently, slowly closed her eyes, and prepared to have a good sleep.

A loud quarrel suddenly came from outside the door, waking her up from her sweet dream.

"Shut up, everyone. What I want is a solution, not waiting here for you to shirk responsibility." Leng Zexi said, looking back in the direction of the lounge.

"If you keep making noise, get out of here."
