"Well, teacher, don't worry, Ruoan and I can take care of it here." Gao Liang nodded and watched the teacher leave.

Wen Qing watched Gao Liang and Xia Ruoan start to get busy, so he smiled with satisfaction, turned around and left with peace of mind, leaving the two to continue completing the remaining work.

"By the way, Ruoan, why did you only bring little Ningning with you this time? Where are your other two precious children?"

Gao Liang looked at Xia Ruoan with a smile on his face, his eyes full of love for her three little kids.

You know, these three children are famous for being well-behaved, smart, innocent and cute. When people see them, they can't help but want to hug and kiss them.

Xia Ruoan smiled slightly and explained, "Sui Sui was taken to the company by Zexi to experience life, while Nian Nian went to learn painting from my second brother. The little guy likes painting more."

In fact, at the beginning, Xia Ruoan wanted to bring all three children together, but who would have thought that each of them had their own little ideas and arranged the itinerary clearly early on.

Hearing this, Gao Liang couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "So, these three little guys have already decided on their future development direction?"

Gao Liang had to admire him.

Xia Ruoan shook his head slightly and replied with a smile: "How could that be possible? It seems like there are some signs now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

"Ultimately, they have to decide for themselves what path they want to take when they grow up. As parents, we can only provide guidance."

In this way, the two of them chatted with each other without stopping the work in their hands.

After a busy period of work, I finally collected all the required data.

Just as they were about to relax a bit and leave with Luobo, they suddenly saw Qiao Xin running after Zhao Han.

Qiao Xin's face flushed crimson as she ran, shouting, "Zhao Han, what on earth do you mean? We're getting married next week, and you still won't come back with me?"

Obviously, Qiao Xin had never expected that at this point, Zhao Han was still so determined and unwilling to look back at her at all.

"What do you want me to do in order to forgive me? Is there really no way we can go back to the way we were?"

Qiao Xin stared straight at the man in front of her, her eyes were extremely firm, as if she wanted to see through his eyes into the depths of his heart.

However, the answer she received was like an icy sword, mercilessly piercing her heart.

"There's no going back. Everything is irreversible. It can never go back to the way it was before." The man's voice was cold and resolute, making Qiao Xin's heart plummet in an instant.

"Qiao Xin, why don't you understand now? My heart is no longer with you."

"The reason I was willing to marry you was just out of responsibility. It doesn't mean that I still have feelings for you." After saying that, Zhao Han walked around Qiao Xin without hesitation and left without looking back.

Looking at the figure walking away, Qiao Xin felt as if the whole world was beginning to collapse.

But she was unwilling to give up just like that, so she rushed forward and hugged Zhao Han tightly from behind.

"I don't believe it! If you really don't have me in your heart, why did you agree to marry me?"

"It must be because you still have me in your heart, right? Please tell me the truth..." Qiao Xin burst into tears, and her tears soaked Zhao Han's clothes.

Zhao Han stopped and was silent for a moment before saying, "Qiao Xin, even if I once had a little feeling for you, it has long since disappeared."

"Besides, I have already applied for an apartment at school. It has one bedroom and one living room. Although it is not big, it is enough for me to live alone. I will not live with you in the future.

Hearing this, Qiao Xin's heart ached, but she still didn't want to let go. "I don't care about these, Zhao Han, I don't want anything."

"Even if you give all your money to Chang'an as compensation, I will have no complaints."

"My only wish is that you can stay with me and accompany me forever."

"If you really don't want to move back in with me, that's fine. I can move here to be with you, okay? Please don't leave me..."

Qiao Xin begged desperately. At this moment, she no longer cared about her so-called self-esteem and pride.

"What do you have to do to make me fall in love with you again?"

Qiao Xin looked at the man in front of her with tearful eyes, whom she once loved deeply. Her voice was filled with endless sorrow and pleading, and she held him tightly with both hands, refusing to let go.

"Zhao Han, I really just love you too much. Let's forget the unpleasantness of the past and start over, okay?" Qiao Xin put her face on Zhao Han's back, her tears soaking his clothes.

However, Zhao Han ruthlessly removed Qiao Xin's tightly embraced hand bit by bit. He turned around, his eyes as cold as ice in winter: "Qiao Xin, stop deceiving yourself. We can't go back, and... I no longer have any feelings for you."

Hearing this, Qiao Xin trembled all over, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

But she was still unwilling to give up, so she continued to plead: "As long as you are willing, we can still be the same as before."

"We are going to be husband and wife now."

"You used Lan'er and Chang'an's safety to threaten me and force me to marry you. Now that I have obtained the marriage certificate with you as you wished, please let them go."

Facing Qiao Xin's sobbing, Zhao Han sneered: "I'm telling you, Qiao Xin, if you dare to harm them, I will drag you down with me to hell, even if it means a fight to the death."

"Also, don't try to threaten me with suicide again. To be honest, I really want you to die right now!"

Zhao Han gritted his teeth as he spoke these heartless words, and every word stabbed into Qiao Xin's heart like a knife.

"No! Zhao Han, how can you say that? Have you forgotten the good times we had together?"

Qiao Xin shook her head in despair, tears pouring out like a flood.

Zhao Han, however, was not moved at all. He looked at Qiao Xin coldly and said word by word: "Qiao Xin, in fact, you don't love me at all. From the beginning to the end, you only love yourself."

"You just want me to stay around you and satisfy your selfish desires."

After saying that, Zhao Han didn't want to look at Qiao Xin anymore. He pushed her away forcefully and strode towards the fields ahead without looking back.

Only Qiao Xin was left sitting alone on the ground.

"Zhao Han, do you hold a grudge against me for ruining you and making you lose the title of academician?" Qiao Xin looked at him and asked.

"You think it is, right?" Zhao Han didn't stop.

Xia Ruoan and Gao Liang looked at each other in bewilderment. There happened to be a melon field where they were, which was surrounded by branches and just blocked their view.

"Do you want to go over and help him?" Gao Liang looked at Xia Ruoan cautiously and asked.

Xia Ruoan was still in shock at this moment. She had never expected that the reason they got married was because Qiao Xin used Gong Lan and Chang'an's lives to threaten Zhao Han.

This was originally a dispute between her and Zhao Han, so why did they drag her and her daughter into it? How could Qiao Xin act like this?

Qiao Xin is simply crazy nowadays.

Xia Ruoan was now afraid even to get close to Qiao Xin. The radish in her hand fell onto the plastic bag on the ground, but it still caught Qiao Xin's attention.

Qiao Xin also noticed Xia Ruoan and Gao Liang.

Xia Ruoan hesitated, not knowing whether to step forward. She was thinking about what to say. After all, as a bystander, she felt that Qiao Xin's behavior was inappropriate.

Gao Liang turned his gaze to Xia Ruoan, a look of embarrassment on his face, wondering whether he should go over and support her.

In the end, Qiao Xin stood up on her own, walked over slowly, and locked her eyes on them, or to be more precise, on Xia Ruoan.

"Now that you see me like this, you must find it funny. Do you think I'm extremely vicious?"

"Why do you have the best and live such a smooth life without doing anything? Why am I inferior to you that fate plays such a trick on me?"

"Xia Ruoan, this is so unfair." Qiao Xin looked at her directly, with resentment in her tone.

Gao Liang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Qiao Xin, can you please wake up a little? You are in this situation now, it's entirely your own fault."

Gao Liang and Qiao Xin are in the same grade. They have been classmates from elementary school to junior high school, high school and university, so he has some understanding of Qiao Xin's personality.

"When Zhao Han fell in love with you and pursued you relentlessly, you dismissed him and discarded him like a piece of trash. When he became disheartened and started a new life, with a wife and daughter, you continued to pester him."

"Qiao Xin, have all the books you've read been wasted? It was you who willingly became the third party that led to the current situation. All of this is your own fault, and has nothing to do with Ruoan."

"I didn't. Shang Gonglan is the third party between me and Zhao Han. If she hadn't intervened, Zhao Han and I would have been together a long time ago." Qiao Xin denied.

"Qiao Xin, how long are you going to keep deceiving yourself?" Xia Ruoan looked at her and asked.

"I don't think you're being ridiculous, I just feel sorry for you. You know you're wrong, but why do you keep making the same mistake?"

"Yes, you keep saying that you love Zhao Han, but think about what you have done to Zhao Han."

"When Zhao Han was chasing you before, you only treated her with indifference and ignored her."

"He left, but you knew how good he was and wanted to win him back. He already had a wife and children, and he was very happy, but you ruined their relationship. He can only bear the guilt towards his ex-wife and children for the rest of his life."

"His career and reputation have been ruined because of you. His marriage broke down because of you, and his children have been hurt over and over again because of you."

"Qiao Xin, let yourself go and let Zhao Han go." Xia Ruoan looked at her and said.

"I can't recognize you now. You feel strange to me."
