Chapter 307 It hurts so much
"Leng Zexi! I still stick to my idea. If one day you dare to let her get hurt in the slightest, or make her sad and upset, then I will definitely not sit idly by and will take her away without hesitation!"
Zhang Kai stared at Leng Zexi firmly and spoke solemnly word by word.
Facing Zhang Kai's warning, Leng Zexi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Then I still say this to you - you will never have such an opportunity!"
After saying that, he gently but domineeringly half-hugged Xia Ruoan in his arms, then turned and left without looking back.
Ning Ning, who was standing by, saw her father hugging her mother and walking away. She became anxious and quickly ran after them, shouting, "Dad! Mom! Wait for me!"
However, Leng Zexi seemed to have completely ignored Ning Ning's call. Instead, his steps became bigger and faster.
Seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from her parents, Ningning, who was extremely anxious, sat down on the ground and then fell straight to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of "Ahhhh" cries echoed all around.
"Mom... wuwuwu... I fell down! It hurts so much..."
Ningning rubbed her sore butt with her chubby little hands, looked at her parents' backs that were gradually moving away with tearful eyes, and cried loudly at the top of her lungs.
Xia Ruoan, who was originally held tightly in Leng Zexi's arms, stopped instantly after hearing her son's cry and hurriedly turned back to check the situation.
When she saw Ningning sitting on the ground crying pitifully, her beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with endless worry and heartache.
Leng Zexi, who had always had a blank expression on his face, now had a barely perceptible flash of worry in his eyes.
But soon, he noticed that the bodyguard standing next to Ningning shook his head slightly at him, indicating that the child was fine.
Seeing this scene, Leng Zexi couldn't help but feel angry and amused. This little devil was obviously pretending to be pitiful on purpose to attract everyone's attention!
"Ningning! I'll only give you three seconds. Hurry up and stand up and catch up, or you'll end up at your Uncle Ouyang's house!"
"He can't feel any pain at all." Leng Zexi stared at the little guy sitting on the ground, secretly angry in his heart. This brat actually dared to deceive him by pretending to be injured.
Seeing this, Xia Ruoan, who was standing by, hurried forward to help Ningning up, but was held back by Leng Zexi.
Leng Zexi snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry about him, that guy is just pretending. He has bodyguards around him, so how could he get hurt so easily?"
Xia Ruoan looked around at the bodyguards with some suspicion, then looked at Ningning who was sitting on the ground with an innocent look on her face, and gently scolded her, "Ningning, you can't act like this. Mom and Dad will be very angry."
"How can you joke about your own body? Have you forgotten what happened to the lying boy in the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'?"
Even so, Xia Ruoan still felt sorry for the child. She turned her head to look at Leng Zexi and pleaded softly, "Hubby, why don't you just pick up Ningning?"
Faced with his wife's gentle gaze and request, Leng Zexi sighed helplessly. Although he was annoyed with his son's naughty behavior, since his wife had given the order, he had no choice but to do as she said.
So, Leng Zexi walked up to Ningning, bent down, and picked up the little guy from the ground gently but with dignity.
At the same time, he did not forget to warn the little rascal in his arms again: "If you dare to scare your mother again next time, I will really send you to your Uncle Ouyang."
"When the time comes, he will discipline you well and will never let you get hurt!" After saying that, he held Ningning and quickly caught up with the team in front.
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I was wrong." Ningning blinked her big watery eyes and said softly with a guilty look on her face.
He stretched out his two chubby little hands, pouted his lips and said coquettishly, "Mommy, give me a hug~"
Hearing her youngest son's soft voice, Xia Ruoan's heart melted instantly. However, she still endured the discomfort in her body and said gently to Ningning, "Ningning, be good, can you let Daddy hold you? Mommy's illness is not fully recovered yet. If I hold you, you might pass the germs to you."
"Wait a moment, the bodyguard uncle will take you to your grandparents' house to play, and your parents will come to pick you up in a couple of days."
Ningning nodded sensibly, then turned to look at her father, her eyes full of anticipation.
At this moment, Ningning suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly reached into her small pocket to fumble around.
After a while, he took out two beautifully packaged milk candies, held them high in front of Xia Ruoan, and said happily, "Mom, these are candies! If you eat them, you won't find the medicine bitter."
Ningning and her two brothers would have a fixed amount of candy every day, and each could only eat three pieces.
Ningning has always been accustomed to taking one pill after getting up in the morning, one pill after lunch, and saving the last pill before brushing her teeth at night.
But today, in order to help his sick mother get better quickly, he took out his only two remaining milk candies without hesitation.
Looking at his innocent and lovely little son, Xia Ruoan was so moved that his eyes were red.
She gently touched Ningning's head and said softly, "Thank you, my dear Ningning, but Mommy is taking medicine now and can't eat candies. You should keep these candies for yourself, okay?"
"Can't I eat it?" Ningning looked at her father with some doubt, as if asking him to confirm whether what her mother said was true.
Dad nodded and comforted her, saying, "Yes, Ningning, be obedient. Put the candy in your pocket first and eat it later."
Although Ningning felt a little disappointed, she still obediently put the candy back into her pocket.
Seeing that he cared about his mother, Leng Zexi said softly, "I will carefully prepare other delicious food for your mother."
After saying that, he gently touched the little guy's head.
Then, Leng Zexi warned again with a serious face: "Be good and obedient when you get over here. Don't act naughty and bully your two brothers. Remember?"
Leng Zexi was seen holding the cute little one in his arms, while his other hand was tightly holding the beautiful Xia Ruoan beside him.
The little fellow blinked his big, watery eyes, nodded obediently, and replied in a baby voice, "I know! My brothers can only be bullied by me. No one else can bully my brothers!"
Hearing this, Leng Zexi and Xia Ruoan couldn't help but smile at each other, their hearts filled with love for the child's innocence.
Xia Ruo'an, who was standing by, shook her head with a doting yet helpless look, and scolded him, "You are such a little naughty boy. You only know how to bully your two brothers by relying on their love for you."
At this time, Zhang Kai, who had been standing by and silently watching this happy family of three, showed deep reluctance in his eyes.
He watched them walking away, feeling mixed emotions.
After a while, Zhang Kai turned around and muttered to his good friend Hai Ge, "Hai Ge, if I had been able to compete with Zhou Mufan openly and pursue Ruoan in a legitimate way, then she might have chosen to be with me."
"Do you think that's the case?"
Brother Hai patted Zhang Kai on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother, it's over now. Don't dwell on it anymore."
"In fact, Zhou Mufan had no intention of marrying Ruoan at that time. If you had waited patiently, perhaps the result would have been different."
"It's just a pity..." At this point, Brother Hai couldn't help but sigh.
Brother Hai continued, "Besides, you were so stupid back then. You actually hurt Ruoan on purpose just to get her attention."
"It's really stupid."
"If I had treated her wholeheartedly from the beginning, even better than Zhou Mufan, would she have resolutely chosen to be with me?"
Zhang Kai couldn't help but think of Ningning, who looked very similar to Xia Ruoan, and he felt an indescribable melancholy and loss in his heart.
"If Ruoan and I had been able to successfully get together, perhaps our child would be as big as Ningning I just saw."
Zhang Kai could not suppress his deep longing and fantasy for a better future, as if those scenes that had never happened were vividly unfolding before his eyes.
However, Brother Hai on the side just shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and advised: "Zhang Kai, you should stop having such unrealistic daydreams!"
"There aren't so many 'what ifs' in this world. They're living a happy and fulfilling life now, so you should learn to let go of the past."
"Hasn't these three years been enough for you to let go? Love can't be forced. You can only blame yourself for being too foolish and missing the opportunity."
Brother Hai looked at Zhang Kai, with a hint of obvious disappointment in his eyes.
Facing his friend's advice, Zhang Kai not only showed no sign of appreciation, but instead sneered and retorted, "How can I let go of something if I just let it go? Xia Ruoan is the only woman I've ever truly loved in my life!"
Then, Zhang Kai seemed to be suddenly ignited with emotion, "You have no idea how much she means to me!"
"If Xia Ruoan hadn't shown up in time and helped me, I would have probably lost my life seven years ago!"
After saying this, Zhang Kai's eyes became extremely firm and deep, as if he was lost in those distant and unforgettable memories.
"What do you want to do? You know Leng Zexi's ability. He won't let you get close to Xia Ruoan." Brother Hai warned worriedly.
