motion."She continued, "You once said, ‘Luoxi, I love you, I will give you happiness.’ You once said, ‘Luoxi, I’ll take care of you for life.’ You also said, ‘Luoxi, in this lifetime, I won’t let you...Chapter 79

Ni Xuanyi was feeling restless, but she couldn't say anything inappropriate here. After all, this was Ruan Zhao's house, and everyone around them would act according to his mood. If she acted too rudely and didn't give him face, it would be seen as being overly sensitive and impolite.

Meng Meng quickly noticed Ruan Zhao's special treatment of Ni Xuanyi. He kept glancing over with a puzzled expression and furrowed brows.

Ni Xuanyi was worried that Meng Meng might get angry, so she finished her breakfast as fast as possible and stood up to bid farewell to Ruan Xi's parents. She then nodded at Ruan Zhao, saying, "Brother Zhao, I'm full now. Enjoy your meal!"

As soon as Ruan Zhao saw that Ni Xuanyi had stopped eating, he immediately stood up and eagerly suggested, "Xuanxuan, my garden is very beautiful. Why don't you let me accompany you for a walk outside"

Ni Xuanyi didn't know what to say when Ruan Xi suddenly stood up, swallowing the sandwich in his mouth forcefully while ignoring his brother's displeased look and said vaguely, "Brother, it would be better if I accompany Xuanxuan."

Ruan Zhao gave Ruan Xi a cold glance. Seeing Meng Meng's unfriendly face beside him, Ruan Xi stubbornly insisted on his own opinion.

In the end, Ruan Xi, Ni Xuanyi, and Meng Meng left the dining room together and went to the large garden outside.

"What does your brother mean" As soon as they entered the garden, Meng Meng's eyes narrowed at Ruan Xi. "Why is he looking at Xuanxuan with such lustful eyes!"

"Didn't you see Xuanxuan staring with lust too Everyone has an appreciation for beauty!" Just now, while having her meal, Ruan Xi had been thinking of how to deal with Meng Meng's questioning. After stewing over it all morning long, she came up with this sentence, which indeed made Meng Meng's momentum drop by a few points.

Meng Meng frowned and walked in circles on the spot before turning around to grab Ni Xuanyi’s arm, "Come on, Xuanxuan. I'll take you away from here immediately; the people of this Ruan family are all abnormal, it's not right for us to stay too long!"

Ruan Xi pursed her lips but said nothing. In contrast, Ni Xuanyi smiled and pushed Meng Meng’s hand away, "I don’t think Brother Raozhao would harm me; I trust him. Meng Meng, I’ll stay here and play with Ruan Xi for a few days before my marriage is imminent, you should go back and prepare!"

"Xuanxuan, you do not understand Raozhao. Don’t be fooled by his appearance of being an elegant gentleman who seems harmless; in truth, he’s more scheming than anyone else…"

"Enough, Brother!" Ni Xuanyi quickly tried to stop Meng Meng from defaming Ruan Zhao, this was still the main residence of the Ruan family and it wasn’t wise to openly speak ill of their head of household. "Brother, I’m not a child anymore, I can tell right from wrong. If Ruan Zhao Brother treats you guys differently, that’s none of my business, but he has always been kind to me; Brother, men have to keep their promises, you’ve already agreed to marry Sister Ruan Xi so you should hurry back and prepare for the engagement ceremony!"

Meng Meng saw how stubborn Ni Xuanyi was and in frustration, nervously rubbed his hands together, "Xuanxuan… You’re too naive…"

"I’m telling you to go back and prepare for your engagement, alright" Ni Xuanyi said irritably and stamped her foot. "You’re not my mother; don’t meddle in my affairs! Men should act like men, not be so nagging!"

Meng Meng hated the most when others called him unmanly. He was riled up by Ni Xuanyi’s words as he gritted his teeth and pointed at her menacingly, "Good for you, wait until you suffer a loss before realizing that I’m right!" After saying this, he angrily strode towards the door. Ruan Xi saw this and hurried to follow Meng Meng.

Ni Xuanyi sat dejectedly on a swing in the garden like a deflated ball; with her current situation, she couldn’t drag Meng Meng into it again. Even if she were to break ties with Ruan Zhao herself, she could leave without any worries, but everything of Meng Meng’s was here and if he were to clash with Ruan Zhao, he would have nowhere to go.

"Xuanxuan!" Ruan Zhao suddenly appeared in front of Ni Xuanyi with a smug smile and slowly approached her.

Ni Xuanyi had already somewhat adapted to Ruan Zhao's sudden appearances. Her intuition told her that Ruan Zhao would not harm her in the short term, at least until his engagement before which he would be nice to her because he wanted to make a good impression and hoped she would fall for him.

"Brother Ruan!" Ni Xuanyi smiled faintly. She dared not offend Ruan Zhao but also could not let him misunderstand that she had feelings for him.

"Xuanxuan, I heard everything you just said to Meng Mang."

Ni Xuanyi was startled in her heart; it was a good thing she stopped Meng Mang in time. This man really followed them behind.

"When you say that I won't harm you and that you believe me, it truly touched my heart," Ruan Zhao's eyes shone brightly as he stared at Ni Xuanyi. The morning sun illuminated his figure, accentuating a kind of enchanting beauty.

Ni Xuanyi blinked her eyes, "Brother Ruan, then am I right Are you really going to hurt me or not"

"Xuanxuan, I like you!" Ruan Zhao looked at Ni Xuanyi with an extremely sincere gaze. "How could I harm the person I love"

If a normal man said such words, Ni Xuanyi would believe him, but coming from this obsessive man, she wasn't entirely sure. Because Ruan Zhao was not a normal person; in his understanding, many things that were harmful were not considered as such.

"Brother Rao Zhao, Ru Xi is about to get engaged soon. You must have a lot of things to handle. Go and take care of your business; Ru Xi can entertain me."

"It's fine, I can still attend to her while spending time with you. Xuanxuan, where would you like to go Thailand, Malaysia, or somewhere else Let me take you there!" Rao Zhao enthusiastically proposed: "Or shall we head to the Maldives"

"No, no!" Ni Xuanyi quickly shook her head; if he continued talking, he'd be suggesting a honeymoon. "Let's just find a place nearby and walk around."

Rao Zhao naturally wouldn't take Ni Xuanyi to just any random place. The Rao family mansion was located in a bustling town at the border of three countries. His family had houses in important cities across Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, and he held significant social status in each country. Of course, he wanted to take Ni Xuanyi to the most scenic spots.

Ru Xi originally planned to prepare for her engagement with her mother but seeing that her brother insisted on taking Ni Xuanyi away, she naturally had no choice but to follow.

Seeing Rao Zhao insisting on taking her somewhere, Ni Xuanyi couldn't help but think about escaping midway. Since Rao Zhao was familiar with the nearby three countries, she suggested, "Brother Rao Zhao, I've heard many people talk about the Taj Mahal since childhood and know that its story is legendary. If you have time, why don’t we go to India to see the Taj Mahal"

"Okay." Rao Zhao readily agreed without hesitation. Within an hour, a private plane took off for India.

As Ni Xuanyi and Ru Xi sat together, Ru Xi whispered to her: "I've never seen Brother so accommodating before; I've also never seen him treat any woman like this. In fact, he's usually very busy with work and has no time to play around, but when it comes to you, he’s willing to do anything!" An, will you always treat me as well as you do today""Of course not!" Li An rolled his eyes."What did you say" Yan Luoxi sat up straight suddenly, looking ready to jump out of the helicopter at any m...
