My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 107 Many Zeros 2

Only then did the others react and hurriedly pulled the two apart, advising them to talk things out peacefully.

Due to the issue with the house, the conflict between Lin Zhenxin and Xiao Shen was brought to the surface.

"Xiao Shen, I’ll give you one last bit of face; put everything back as it was before I get back, or... deal with the consequences yourself!" Lin Zhenxin said emotionlessly, pointing at the surveillance camera installed in the office.

The system had recorded everything that just happened in full detail!

After saying this, Lin Zhenxin left the office without looking back...

"What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into?"

Yao Lemon took a taxi from the company as soon as she received Xinxin’s call.

After listening to the whole story from Lin Zhenxin, she became livid, while Lin Zhenxin remained quite calm.

"But Li Yanan is really something else!" Yao Lemon couldn’t help giving a thumbs-up.

Such cunning, such scheming, she couldn’t have thought of it even with ten brains.

"The main thing is, he genuinely protects you and truly treats you well."

When Lin Zhenxin had a flash marriage, Yao Lemon thought she was crazy, but now it seemed like she’d found a rare treasure!

"I know." Thinking of Li Yanan, a feeling that was hard to describe began to ferment in Lin Zhenxin’s heart.

"Oh, is spring in the air?" Yao Lemon reached out and teasingly pinched Lin Zhenxin’s chin.

"Seriously, I’m thinking about resigning from my current night show." Lin Zhenxin hesitated as she fiddled with the coffee in front of her.

"Surely not just because of that Xiao Shen?" To Yao Lemon, none of these issues really seemed worth the trouble.

"It’s not just because of that!" Lin Zhenxin said.

"I get off work too late every day, and Li Yanan insists on picking me up. Over time, it’s not good for either of us. The office issue is just a trigger!" After Shelley took a leave of absence without pay, she had substituted for a few episodes of that show.

The work was easier, she could engage in broader ranges of topics, and most importantly, she could carve out more time to spend with her family.

"Why don’t you discuss it with Sister Wang? Anyway, I think she’s really taken good care of you over the years!"

Yao Lemon had met Sister Wang several times; she seemed like a decisive person, yet her treatment of Zhenxin was exceptionally good.

"I remember you used to be quite interested in photography?"

"Now, with Li Yanan able to support you, why not quit and pursue your passion?"

Lin Zhenxin stayed silent; she was indeed very interested in photography.

She had once thought about saving up enough money to study abroad, but the burden of family responsibilities had kept her from daring to dream those dreams.

"By the way, in a few days, I’ll be going on annual leave and visiting Danang with Yanan. Do you want me to bring you anything back from the duty-free shop?"

"Sure, I’ll send you the list on WeChat."

As they chatted, they completely failed to notice a tall figure approaching them.

Lin Zhenxin had her back to the person and couldn’t see them, but Yao Lemon could see very clearly.

"Behind you..." Yao Lemon quietly reminded.

Lin Zhenxin instinctively turned around and was momentarily stunned when she saw He Bainian’s face, unsure of how to react.

"I was passing by, saw someone that looked like you from outside, so I came in to take a look."

He Bainian spoke in a deep voice, nodding distantly when he met Yao Lemon’s eyes as a form of greeting.

Yao Lemon knew Lin Zhenxin too well; that expression of hers meant she was definitely hiding something from her.

But now wasn’t the time to ask!

Just as she was about to say something, a call from the company came in, informing her that a batch of recently released goods had quality issues, so she had to return to the company.

After Yao Lemon left, He Bainian sat across from Lin Zhenxin...

"You didn’t call me." He Bainian asked, his deep eyes fixed on Lin Zhenxin’s face, not missing a single expression.

Lin Zhenxin felt a bit awkward; she had been so busy these past couple of days that she hadn’t had time to think about He Bainian’s matters.

However, since they happened to meet, it saved her from having to call him out.

"He..." Lin Zhenxin initially intended to address him by his name as she used to, yet it seemed somewhat disrespectful.

"Sir." In the end, she opted for a middle ground with this address.

Unexpectedly, He Bainian’s expression turned subtly complex.

"Why does it feel more distant compared to before?" Back then, she used to call him directly by his name.

"I intended to call you and invite you out, but since we met, please... accept this."

Lin Zhenxin took out a newly issued bank card from her bag and pushed it towards He Bainian.

Inside was the money she had saved over the years to repay him.

He Bainian said nothing, his face impassive, and merely signaled out the window with his hand.

The black Bentley parked not far away slowly drove off.

He Bainian amusedly played with the bank card, just as the service attendant brought over the coffee he’d ordered earlier.

"Consider it a tip." He Bainian put the card on the server’s tray, leaving the person bewildered.

"Sorry, he’s joking." Lin Zhenxin quickly took the card back, apologizing repeatedly.

After the server left, Lin Zhenxin looked at He Bainian in disbelief!

"Are you out of your mind?" she couldn’t help but say.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing her words, He Bainian burst into laughter, and with that handsome face smiling, girls at the neighboring tables couldn’t take their eyes off him.

But unfortunately, to Lin Zhenxin, Li Yanan’s looks were already top-notch.

So much so that she was completely immune to He Bainian’s charms.

"This is the Lin Zhenxin I know!"

Lin Zhenxin was taken aback, suddenly at a loss for words!

She didn’t speak, and He Bainian also fell into silence; he was never good at communicating with women, let alone...

Lin Zhenxin also didn’t seem interested in chatting.

Actually, it wasn’t that Lin Zhenxin didn’t want to chat; she just didn’t know what to say to He Bainian.

Strangely enough, at home, even just sitting together with Li Yanan while they each did their own thing felt better than sitting in awkward silence with He Bainian.

So, for a moment, an awkward atmosphere formed between them.

"Why did you help me back then? Do we... know each other?"

Realizing this standstill wasn’t a solution, Lin Zhenxin spoke first, looking at He Bainian with a puzzled gaze.

He Bainian was initially pleased that she broke the ice, but he couldn’t answer Lin Zhenxin’s question.

Seeing that He Bainian still didn’t speak, Lin Zhenxin felt uncomfortable with the silence.

Being with He Bainian for a minute felt more exhausting than a full day of work.

"Zhenxin, if I said..." suddenly, He Bainian spoke.

"Hmm?" After participating in several TV interviews since He Bainian’s return, he was never as hesitant as he was now.

"If I said using this money, I could make you leave Li Yanan..."

Lin Zhenxin’s face immediately turned cold; she hadn’t expected He Bainian would propose using money to make her leave Li Yanan!

"He Bainian, I’m very grateful that you saved me from disaster back then, and I’ll remember your kindness for the rest of my life. However, you shouldn’t say such things to my face! Unless Li Yanan tells me himself to leave him, otherwise..."

Lin Zhenxin’s expression was as serious as could be, this was her bottom line!

Seeing she was truly angry, He Bainian tightly pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.

"Leaving him would be good for you." Eventually, He Bainian insisted on his point of view.

But Lin Zhenxin didn’t even intend to keep listening; she grabbed her bag and turned to leave the coffee shop!

He Bainian immediately got up to follow her out.

However, before leaving, after a moment of hesitation, he still took the card Lin Zhenxin had left behind...

Lin Zhenxin walked quickly with He Bainian quietly following her.

Her long hair was tied into a casual ponytail, swinging as she walked.

"Why are you following me?" Almost at the entrance of the radio station, seeing He Bainian still following, Lin Zhenxin suddenly turned around.

He Bainian seemed unguarded, colliding with her.

Lin Zhenxin staggered, and if not for He Bainian reflexively holding her waist, she would have fallen.

Feeling the strength on her waist, Lin Zhenxin frowned, stepping back two or three times to maintain some distance between them.

He Bainian still held the posture from earlier, but without Lin Zhenxin, it looked somewhat comical.

"He Bainian, can’t you stop doing things that lead to misunderstandings? What if the reporters had taken photos of what just happened?"

Lin Zhenxin’s chest heaved violently; she seemed truly, intensely angry.

"Misunderstand what?" he withdrew his hand.

"Misunderstand that I’m fickle, bouncing between two men!"

Remembering that article, it was impossible for Lin Zhenxin not to be angry!

"You’re not that kind of person."

"You don’t need to tell me that, I know I’m not!" By now, it was late autumn, and the two breathed out cold mists as they spoke.

Under the streetlight, dressed in a camel cashmere coat, He Bainian stood tall, akin to a male model straight out of a European fashion show.

"I said those things for your own good. No one knows Nuoxin’s personality better than I do. If she comes back, do you still think that you and Li Yanan could carry on without any issues?" He Bainian spoke with his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, his expression serious.

Lin Zhenxin laughed in anger so she didn’t catch the hidden worry in He Bainian’s eyes.

"You also remember, Li Yanan once admitted he owed Nuoxin an apology! You’ve been with Li Yanan long enough to know his temper! If nothing really happened, why would he say such things?"

Lin Zhenxin was taken aback, not saying anything.

"What exactly did Li Yanan owe her?" For a long moment, she finally found her voice.

Her intuition told her that He Bainian knew.

He Bainian remained silent, just looking at her.

"I can’t say." After a long while, he only gave her this response.

Though Nuoxin appeared gentle and weak, she had an extreme and stubborn personality, which was precisely why He Bainian was worried...

If she found out Li Yanan was already married, and if she returned, things might not end smoothly.
