Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 233
233 Stop fooling around
Lin Li was stunned and looked at him strangely. She didn’t react for a moment and asked, ” “What good friend?”
Zhou han saw her reaction and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He frowned subconsciously and looked at her seriously to confirm again, ” “Don’t you have a good friend?” As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on her lower abdomen.
Lin Li followed his gaze, then looked at the cup of hot cocoa in his hand and the hot water bottle in his arms. No matter how slow she was, she finally realized what he was looking at. Her face suddenly turned red, and she glared at him with embarrassment and anger.”You, what nonsense are you talking about? I don’t have any good friends!”
Upon hearing that, Zhou han was a little embarrassed. A faint and strange dark red appeared on his bronze face, but it was only a flash. In his heart, he scolded Special Assistant Xu for being unreliable. He wondered if he had too little work recently, which made him too idle. That was why he gave him such an unreliable idea!
Lin Li was suddenly a little embarrassed. She put down the mug and the hot water bag in her hand and turned around to go back to her room.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhou han reached out and held her hand. He frowned and asked tiredly, ” What are you playing at with me?! Recently, he had been quite tired, not physically but mentally. He had finally solved Xiao bin’s matter, but he didn’t expect her to argue with him for no reason, and he didn’t even know why!
“I didn’t.” Lin Li replied coldly and tried to break free from his hand.
Zhou han pulled her back into his arms. He held her waist with one hand and held her head with the other. He rested his chin on her forehead and sighed. He said weakly, ” Lin Li, don’t mess with me. I’ve been really tired recently. He was so tired that he just wanted to hug her and let her give him warmth. He was so tired that he just wanted to lean on her and sleep in peace. He didn’t know when it had started, but he had developed this attachment to her. It seemed that her presence by his side could make him feel at ease.
Lin Li’s heart moved. She felt pain from being pulled. His exhausted and weak voice made her heart ache and she couldn’t help but be reluctant to part with him.
However, when she thought of how he had called out to Ling LAN in pain that night in his sleep, Lin Li closed her eyes in pain. She had already missed it once. She didn’t want to be stupid a second time!
She pushed him away forcefully and turned her head away to avoid looking into his eyes. She only said, ” I’m not messing with you. If you’re tired, you should rest early. He turned around and left.
Behind her, Zhou han looked at her back and his eagle eyes darkened. He said coldly, ” “Lin Li!”
His voice was low and cold, making people feel a chill. Lin Li stopped in her tracks. After spending time with him, she knew that he was angry.
Biting her lip, Lin Li turned around and was about to speak, but before she could see clearly, she only felt a black shadow flash by. Then, she felt someone holding her face. Her lips were warm, and that warm and domineering tongue directly pried open her teeth and barged into her mouth. That kiss was filled with anger, plundering, and domineering. It was not to be ignored!
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
A loud slap resounded in the silent living room. Time seemed to have stopped at that moment. The only sound in the living room was the sound of breathing.
The force of Lin Li’s slap was extremely heavy. She had almost exhausted all the strength in her body and didn’t show any mercy at all. Even her hand was still numb and trembling at this moment, mixed with her slightly undulating breathing.
Lin Li’s slap was heavy, so Zhou han naturally suffered the same. The palm print on his bronze-colored face seemed to prove that Lin Li’s slap wasn’t just for show. It was a real slap.
Lin Li looked at him and roared at him with an angry expression, ” “You Rascal, what right do you have to treat me like this!” He was so angry that his entire body seemed to be trembling.
Zhou han also looked at her. His gaze was so cold that it seemed to be able to kill people. He suppressed the anger in his heart and stared into her eyes. what the hell are you doing? if you want to do this, you should at least give me a reason! That deep voice clearly carried a fire of anger, as if it had been ignited by carelessness!
Lin Li was also furious and shouted loudly, ” reason? fine, I’ll tell you if you want a reason. I’m not playing anymore. I’m not playing with you anymore. To hell with trying to love each other. Let’s go back to our original positions. You live your life and I live mine. We don’t interfere with each other’s business. We’re just a purely cooperative marriage!
“What did you just say?” Zhou han stared at her and didn’t make any more movements. However, his entire aura seemed to have changed. It was as if there were many flammable objects around him and he would explode if he was not careful!
I said I don’t want to try dating you anymore. Let’s go back to where we started. I don’t want to be someone else’s substitute! As Lin Li spoke, she felt even more aggrieved and upset. Her tears flowed uncontrollably as Cheng Xiang, Xiaoxiao’s face, and Ling Lan’s face flashed through her mind. The most she could think of was the night he had fallen asleep and called out Ling Lan’s name with a pained expression. She couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, just like the floodgates of a flood. Lin Li covered her mouth, trying her best to suppress her cries. She was afraid that she would alarm the little guy in the room.
Zhou han looked at her. The anger that had already reached the point of explosion was completely extinguished by her tears. There was no anger left. Looking at her crying so helplessly, there was only pity and reluctance left in his heart. His eyes that were originally filled with fire also softened.
Lin Li cried helplessly. Those scenes kept spinning and playing in her mind like a movie. Her grievances spread endlessly. She covered her hands and tried hard to warn herself, ” I don’t want to, I don’t want to. The past 10 years are enough. I don’t want to be someone else’s substitute anymore. I don’t want it anymore …
In the end, Zhou han half-knelt on the ground and reached out to pull her into his arms. He hugged her tightly and said in her ear over and over again, ” “You’re not, you’re not …”
Lin Li cried and wanted to break free from his embrace. She reached out and patted his back, but Zhou han had no intention of letting go and still held her tightly.
He didn’t know how long she cried like this, but when Zhou han realized that the person in his arms was no longer struggling, the low sobbing also slowly disappeared. He looked down and realized that Lin Li, who was crying in his arms, had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.
He reached out to push away the hair that was stuck to her face because of her tears and gently touched her face with his hand. After a while, he carried her in his arms and went to the room.
However, when he carried Lin Li back to the master bedroom, he saw that the door of the children’s room was left ajar. The little guy, who was originally in the room, was now stretching his head out and looking at him. His big black eyes were wide open, and his gaze was directed at Lin Li, who was in Zhou Han’s arms. His little face was filled with worry that could not be hidden.
Zhou han stopped in his tracks and looked straight at him. His unsmiling look was really a little serious and terrifying.
The little guy subconsciously retracted his head. After a while, he was still a little worried about Lin Li, so he stuck his head out again to see what was going on. However, he happened to meet Zhou Han’s eyes and was shocked again. His little face froze there.
Zhou han hugged Lin Li and looked at her. After a while, he said, ” “Come and open the door.”
The little guy was stunned for a moment, as if he had not yet reacted to his words, and had not digested the meaning of the content.
Seeing that he didn’t come over after a long time, Zhou han opened his mouth again and said, ” “Come and open the door.”
Only then did the little guy react. After confirming that he was indeed calling him over, he opened the door and walked towards Zhou han timidly. He stood more than a meter away from him and hesitated for a moment. He didn’t dare to come over.
Zhou han looked at him and motioned for him to come over. The little guy then walked over with a peace of mind and reached out to open the door.
Zhou han carried Lin Li in and placed her on the bed gently and carefully. He reached out to take off the slippers on her feet and then pulled the quilt over to cover him.
After doing all this, he stood at the head of the bed for a while before turning around to go out. However, when he turned around, he saw the little guy standing at the door with a worried face, as if he wanted to see Lin Li’s condition on the bed in the room. But when he saw Zhou han turn his head, his body suddenly stiffened and he immediately stood up straight.
Zhou han looked at him and was about to step forward when the little guy ran away. Before Zhou han could react, the little guy had disappeared. He only heard a bang and the door was closed.
Zhou han turned around and looked at Lin Li on the bed. Seeing that she didn’t wake up, he then turned around and closed the door softly.
Standing in front of the children’s room, Zhou han was silent for a while. In the end, he reached out and knocked on the door.
The room was silent, not a single sound could be heard.
After waiting for a while, Zhou han raised his hand and knocked on the door again. He said in a deep voice, ” “Open the door.”
Then, there was silence again. When Zhou han raised his hand again and was about to open the door and go in, the doorknob turned and the door slowly opened. The little guy bit her lips and looked at him. Her little hand clutched the corner of her pajamas tightly, and her nervousness and fear were so obvious.
Zhou han looked at him, and before he could speak, the little guy seemed to have mustered up the courage to look up and ask him, ” “Are you trying to drive me away?”
Zhou han was stunned. He took a deep look at that stubborn little face and his expression changed slightly.
The little guy bit his lip. Because he was nervous and afraid, he bit it with extra force, almost to the point that his lips turned white.
Zhou han sighed softly and slowly raised his hand. His big palm landed on the little guy’s head. He used a little force and rubbed his hair. He asked in a low voice, ” “Are you hungry?”
The little guy was stunned. He looked up at him, his eyes uncertain.
Zhou han rubbed his head and said again, ” “Are you hungry?”
The little guy still didn’t know how to react. He just nodded subconsciously and looked at Zhou han.
Zhou han pulled the corners of his mouth and pulled out a faint smile. His tone was a little unnatural and stiff as he said, ” “I’ll go cook something for you.”
