After the breakup, the abstinent president got married and had three babies
Chapter 282 Driving
Xia Ruoan sat quietly in the passenger seat, his eyes occasionally falling on Leng Zexi who was concentrating on driving.
She was filled with doubts and curiosity, and wanted to find out what this man was really thinking.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Leng, can you tell me what you were thinking before?"
"Why did you fall in love with me? Honestly, I think what Qi Wang said makes sense. Someone as outstanding as you should find a partner who can join forces with you and walk side by side with you. But why did you fall in love with me?"
As soon as she said this, Xia Ruoan regretted being so straightforward, but at the same time she expected Leng Zexi to give her a satisfactory answer.
Hearing Xia Ruoan's question, Leng Zexi tilted his head slightly, gave her a doting look, and then replied gently: "Actually, there aren't too many complicated reasons. Sometimes, the feeling of liking someone is so simple and pure that it happens unconsciously."
"When I first met you, I was probably just a little curious about you because you were my best friend's sister."
"But as I got to know you better later on, especially after I met your father, Xia Lin, during that visit and learned that you were the one I had arranged to be engaged to as a child, my interest in you naturally grew."
"Gradually, I found myself deeply attracted to you and couldn't extricate myself." After saying this, Leng Zexi shifted his gaze back to the road ahead and continued to concentrate on driving.
At this moment, Xia Ruoan's heart was beating like a deer, he was both excited and moved.
She never thought that Leng Zexi would give such a sincere answer, and she never thought that there was such a special fate between them.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Leng Zexi's handsome profile, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a sweet smile.
Perhaps it was all destined that she met this man who was willing to truly love and care for her in the vast crowd.
In the end, he couldn't help himself. This feeling surged into his heart like a tide, surrounding Xia Ruoan tightly.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself, how could things have developed to this point?
When they finally arrived home, they were stunned by the scene before them - the door of the house was closed, with a brand new big lock on it, as if mocking their return.
What’s even more speechless is that they didn’t even have the key to open the door!
Leng Zexi and Xia Ruoan looked at each other, and there was a hint of helplessness and confusion in each other's eyes.
At this moment, there seems to be no other way except to call family for help.
Xia Ruoan took out his cell phone and started dialing a number.
After some anxious waiting, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
It turned out that the family had gone to the newly opened orchard to pick apples and had not been away for long.
Upon hearing this news, Xia Ruoan couldn't help laughing: "I told them a long time ago that I would give them a heads up, but you refused to listen and insisted on giving Sui Sui and the others a surprise."
"Now we can't even get into our own house!" Facing his lover's scolding, Leng Zexi also smiled bitterly. He really didn't expect such a coincidence to happen.
"I specifically asked my second brother last night, and he clearly told me that he would take the children to paint at home today. Who could have expected that the plan would suddenly change and we would go picking fruit instead." Leng Zexi explained, shaking his head.
Leng Zexi sighed softly and continued, "Well, last time we went there we picked oranges, so apples wouldn't be a bad idea this time. I heard the apples grown in that orchard are of very good quality, and they're fresh and juicy."
"I asked my parents to help me order a large batch of the oranges I picked last time. I plan to give them as gifts to my friends, family, and company employees. I'm sure everyone will like the apples this time, too."
"If the apples taste good, we can order a batch." Leng Zexi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said slowly.
There was a thoughtful glint in his deep eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an was stunned at first, then revealed a helpless expression: "No wonder! I was wondering why everyone had become so easy to talk to. Even the usually stern Third Uncle was so friendly to you. It turns out it's because you took Orange in as a dog!"
As she spoke, she shook her head slightly and smiled, seeming a little surprised by the situation.
Leng Zexi smiled slightly and explained, "In fact, most of the families in this area have made their fortunes by growing fruits. Including our family, we all have a certain share in these fruit industries."
"It's just that the market conditions have not been very good in recent years, and the sales of fruits are not as good as before, so I can only sell them at low prices and barely make a living." When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
Xia Ruoan nodded, indicating that he could understand the situation.
She said with emotion: "Yes, it is indeed not easy."
"Luckily, my third brother came back. He ran around and contacted many shopping malls and supermarkets. That's how business gradually picked up and recovered."
"Otherwise, we might really have to reluctantly give up those orchards that we have poured so much effort into." Thinking of this, a feeling of reluctance welled up in her heart.
After all, for their generation, the orchard is not only a source of income, but also a place that carries happy childhood memories.
When Xia Ruoan thought of those good times, he felt that he wanted to protect this orchard no matter what.
"I originally wanted to keep the orchard and was thinking about returning to develop it. Later, Sui Sui and Nian Nian appeared, and I paid less attention to Ning Ning."
The desire to come back is not as strong as before.
But I still asked my third brother to help me find a market.
"The fruits grown here are truly outstanding! I'll have the purchasing department come over later to discuss cooperation."
"We actually own a lot of shopping malls, and fruit, as a necessity in daily life, has always been in high demand."
"If we could open up a dedicated area here to sell the high-quality fruit produced here, it would surely be welcomed and loved by consumers. After all, fruits of this quality are rare!"
Leng Zexi made this suggestion with a smile.
"Is this really feasible? The Leng Group has always been known for its high-end approach. Will the sudden introduction of new suppliers cause some problems? For example, if it is inconsistent with the original brand image..." Xia Ruoan asked with some concern. She wanted to further confirm whether there would be any obstacles later.
Although Leng Zexi has the right to make decisions independently, it would not be good if it had a negative impact on the company's operations or other aspects.
"The so-called high-end is naturally pursuing high-quality products."
"We will then arrange for professionals to conduct rigorous testing. If all indicators meet the standard requirements, then these fruits will be eligible to enter our sales channels."
"So whether the cooperation can be successfully concluded depends on the quality of the fruit itself."
Leng Zexi patiently explained that he was only giving the other party a chance to demonstrate their strength. As for whether they could seize it, it depended on the performance of the orchard.
"Don't worry about that, I guarantee it! I've loved the fruit here since I was a kid. I can say I never get tired of it. It's truly delicious!"
Xia Ruoan patted his chest and assured confidently, "And these fruit trees were all carefully cultivated by Grandpa Wen. He has profound attainments and rich experience in the field of gardening."
"Stop! Are we taking the wrong road? This isn't the right way to go." Xia Ruoan stared nervously at the unfamiliar scenery passing by outside the car window, then turned and shouted to Leng Zexi who was concentrating on driving.
She had been to that place last time, and the route in her memory seemed completely different from the road in front of her.
Hearing Xia Ruoan's words, Leng Zexi quickly slowed down and slowly stopped the car on the side of the road.
He took the phone, opened the screen skillfully, found the location information sent by Zhong Zishu earlier, and checked it carefully.
After a moment, he couldn't help but frown and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I did take the wrong road at the last intersection."
"There's no other way. We can only turn around and drive back." After saying that, Leng Zexi turned the steering wheel, preparing to turn the car around and drive back in the correct direction.
However, the car had just driven a short distance when Leng Zexi suddenly stepped on the brakes. The entire car shook violently and then stopped steadily.
Xia Ruoan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, felt a tightness in his heart. He looked at Leng Zexi with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What happened? Why did you stop the car suddenly again?"
Leng Zexi replied solemnly, "Something's wrong. I'll go down and check it out first."
After saying that, he pushed open the car door and jumped out, walked quickly to the front of the car, squatted down and began to check the tires.
Seeing this, Xia Ruoan's heart instantly rose to her throat, and she anxiously waited for Leng Zexi's examination results.
After a while, Leng Zexi stood up, shook his head at Xia Ruoan with a gloomy face and said, "The tire is broken, it must be replaced with a new one."
Xia Ruoan widened her eyes when she heard this. She never expected that she would encounter such a thing on the road by chance.
After a brief moment of shock, Xia Ruoan quickly recovered and suggested, "Why don't we get someone to come over and help? I'll call Dad and ask if there's any place nearby that can repair the car."
"No need, I can change it." Leng Zexi refused after hearing this. It was just a tire change, he could still do it.
"Are you sure it's possible?" Xia Ruoan asked with some doubt.
He doesn't look like the kind of man who would resort to violence.
