reat!" Yan Luoxi also felt that this was a very good thing and clicked her tongue in approval."Daughter, we shouldn’t be envious of such things. Nowadays, those wealthy young men prefer to play with m...Chapter 108

Ruan Zhao was aware that Meng Mang used to like Ni Xuanyi very much, and he felt that it would be dangerous for Ni Xuanyi to live near Meng Mang. He thought he should choose another place to take Ni Xuanyi away; only when she belonged entirely to him would he feel at ease.

Ni Xuanyi didn't notice what Ruan Zhao was thinking and was still enthusiastically chatting with Ruan Xi, "It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy. You can have another girl too. The more children you have, the better company they’ll be when they grow up."

"Mm-hmm, we will have another daughter and make you her godmother. Teach her well so that she turns out just like you. Then Meng Mang will be happy," Ruan Xi said happily.

Ruan Zhao’s face darkened; he was unhappy, "Ruan Xi, what are you saying After I get together with Xuanxuan, she becomes your sister-in-law. How can she be the child's stepmother"

Upon seeing his eldest brother upset, Ruan Xi realized that she had said something wrong again and stuck out her tongue.

"Who’s anyone’s stepmother" Meng Mang pushed open the door and came in, surprised to see Ni Xuanyi inside. "Xuanxuan, you're back"

"Yes." Ni Xuanyi smiled at Meng Mang and naturally leaned against Ruan Zhao.

The relationships between her and Meng Mang, as well as with the Ruan brothers were rather complicated. To avoid complicating matters, she felt it better to be mindful of how things played out.

Meng Mang watched Ni Xuanyi sit down next to Ruan Zhao; he was somewhat enlightened about the situation over the past half year. Ruan Zhao had been staying in G City almost non-stop, making a big deal out of his pursuit of Ni Xuanyi. Given their current situation, it seemed that Ruan Zhao must have won her heart.

Ruan Zhao was delighted to see Ni Xuanyi sit beside him and did not want her to interact too much with Meng Mang. He immediately held Ni Xuanyi’s hand and said, "Meng Mang, you’ve just come back from outside and must be tired. Xuanxuan and I will take our leave."

Meng Meng still had a lot to say to Ni Xuanyi, but seeing Ruan Zhao's demeanor, he could only grumpily agree.

Watching Ruan Zhao leave with Ni Xuanyi, Meng Meng turned to look at Ruan Xi. "What’s going on between your brother and Xuanxuan Are they dating"

"Yes, Xuanxuan is now my big brother's girlfriend," Ruan Xi answered timidly.

"What Xuanxuan really became your brother's girlfriend And Li Yi Does Xuanxuan not like Li Yi anymore" Meng Meng frowned in confusion.

"I haven't had a chance to ask Xuanxuan. Big Brother has been following her around the entire time, never giving us any alone time," Ruan Xi rubbed her belly and looked at Meng Meng with some regret.

Since Ruan Xi married Meng Meng, she felt that life was incredibly perfect. The once unruly young woman had completely transformed into a wife who obeyed her husband in everything.

"Oh yeah, right!" Suddenly enlightened, Meng Meng slapped his thigh. "Just now I thought something was off about the way your brother is with Xuanxuan; it’s as though she's his personal property and he won't let me talk to her at all!"

Ruan Xi helplessly scratched her head. "My big brother… I don’t dare meddle in my big brother’s affairs!"

Meng Meng frowned and, annoyed, walked back and forth inside the room a few times. "No way, this isn't acceptable. Xuanxuan hasn't even married him yet! And I’m still her good friend."

Seeing how agitated Meng Meng was, Ruan Xi got scared and quickly grabbed his arm. "Honey, for the sake of our unborn child, please don’t approach Xuanxuan recently. My brother is extremely protective of Xuanxuan; if you provoke him now and make him upset with her, he won't forgive you, not even my baby in here," she said, patting her belly.

Since seeing the four-dimensional ultrasound photos of Ruan Xi's child, Meng Meng had come to love the little one immensely. He had never had any close family before, and so he valued his wife’s child very much. Hearing about his child now, he finally held back a breath and sat down on the sofa.

Ruan Zhao knows himself best; when he gets ruthless, he doesn't recognize even his closest relatives.

Ni Xuanyi and Ruan Zhao were walking on the main street. Because Ruan Zhao was a celebrity here, many people immediately noticed them.

Usually, Ruan Zhao hated crowded places and disliked strolling on the streets, especially now when it was getting close to the lunar new year with lots of people moving around in the busy streets.

But today, Ruan Zhao's mood was very good because Ni Xuanyi was walking beside him.

Ruan Zhao was a big shot in this city. The people who greeted him were all important individuals. Seeing that the usually gloomy Ruan Zhao was smiling and holding hands with a girl as they walked down the street, everyone knew that today the young master was in high spirits.

Some bold individuals would come up to greet Ruan Zhao: "Mr. Ruan, are you out on a date"

"Yes, my girlfriend is visiting for the first time and I'm showing her around," Ruan Zhao said proudly as if presenting his treasure to everyone.

Even if others didn't ask, he would tell them that Ni Xuanyi was his girlfriend.

Ni Xuanyi found herself at a loss for how to respond to Ruan Zhao's childish behavior.

The other party rarely saw such an open and warm Ruan Zhao; they were immediately flattered and exclaimed, "Mr. Ruan, your girlfriend is so pretty!"

“Thank you!” Ruan Zhao smiled happily.

"Mr. Ruan, when you get married to your girlfriend, be sure to invite us to the wedding banquet!"

"Of course!" Ruan Zhao laughed brightly, as if he were about to marry Ni Xuanyi right now.

Seeing more and more people coming over to chat with them and try to please Ruan Zhao, Ni Xuanyi felt irritated. She whispered to Ruan Zhao, "I'm tired. I want to go back and rest."

Ruan Zhao never went against Ni Xuanyi's wishes; he immediately took her home.

Since Ni Xuanyi had returned with Ruan Zhao, the latter hardly ever left her side.

He almost moved his office to Ni Xuanyi’s house and handled documents there, making phone calls to arrange work for his subordinates. If someone came to visit, he would quickly talk to them at a small round table in the garden before dismissing them.

Ruan Zhao devoted all of his time to Ni Xuanyi—eating with her, walking with her, watching TV with her. As a result, Ni Xuanyi didn’t get any chance to spend time alone with Meng Meng and Ruan Xi.

Being so closely guarded by Ruan Zhao made Ni Xuanyi feel suffocated; his love was loyal but also stifling.

The winter evenings in the Golden Triangle were still quite pleasant. Seizing the moment when Ruan Zhao was concentrating on a round-table meeting with someone, Ni Xuanyi walked to the back of the villa.

She strolled along a small path paved with bluestone slabs, feeling the gentle breeze against her cheeks and smelling the fragrance of wildflowers. Benches lined the roadside ahead; young couples sat on them, gazing at each other lovingly and talking incessantly.

In love, there is always so much to say!

Ni Xuanyi recalled when she was with Li Yi—she would look up at him constantly, pouring out her heart and expressing her thoughts to him urgently.itement or exaggerated actions, one could hear his quickened breathing."You're really heartless! Once you have a new lover, you want me gone. I've just arrived from the plane and haven't even had a cu...
