My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 128 - 126: Contradictory and Complicated Towards Him

Chapter 128: Chapter 126: Contradictory and Complicated Towards Him

"Will you come on the day of my surgery?" Tu Haohao looked at him with anticipation as she put down her pen.

"The Li Family has a bid on the same day, so I won’t be there." His answer was resolute, making the smile on Tu Haohao’s lips freeze for a moment.

"Is that so..." She lowered her head and fell silent.

"If the bid succeeds, the Li Family can catch their breath for two more years. If it fails, I’ll have to marry you."

Li Chengze reached out and lifted her chin, forcing Tu Haohao to meet his gaze.

"Do you want it to succeed or not?"

Tu Haohao was momentarily speechless. She wanted to marry him but didn’t wish for the Li Family to be in trouble.

"If the bid succeeds, you won’t marry me, will you?" she asked.

Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the ink stain stuck to her hand.

"Of course." Li Chengze didn’t meet her eyes, smiling frivolously.

Tu Haohao stopped speaking again, as if contemplating something.

"Do you like me so much, do you really want to marry me?" Most of Li Chengze’s words were teasing.

"Yes, I like you, I like you very much, and I want to marry you." Tu Haohao nodded, her smile pure and crisp.

Her every reaction was so straightforward, which in turn made Li Chengze feel like a jerk.

"I don’t understand, what do you like about me?" Besides getting into fights and causing trouble, he was useless, couldn’t even manage the company well.

"I like everything about you. Brother Chengze is perfect."

Li Chengze sneered softly, like everything about him? He was perfect?

She was too naive, wasn’t she?

If a man like him could be considered good, just how inexperienced could she be?

"Tomorrow night at eight, I’ll be waiting for you at ’In the Depths of Peach Blossom.’ If you dare propose to me, whether or not we secure that land, I’ll marry you, how about it?" Li Chengze said it mostly in jest. He genuinely believed Tu Haohao was too shy to do such a thing!

As expected, Tu Haohao stared in shock, eyes wide open.

Proposal...propose to him?

"I’ve given you the chance, let’s see if you dare to come!"

Li Chengze said.

Lin Zhenxin knocked on the door from outside with no response, lips pressed tight, feeling both angry and anxious!

If she had to stay locked in here for the night, how would she explain it to Li Yanan when she returned tomorrow?

Turning around to see He Bainian sleeping soundly on the bed, she was even more frustrated with nowhere to vent her anger!

The room’s alcohol smell made Lin Zhenxin silently walk to the window, opening the only window, instantly letting in a cold breeze.

Lin Zhenxin shivered uncontrollably.

Her mind cleared a bit.

Since she couldn’t leave tonight, in this small bedroom, only the taupe leather sofa could be curled up on for the night.

Luckily, there was also a bathroom in the suite, so there was no need to worry about other issues; the rest would have to wait until He Bainian woke up!

Feeling a stewing anger inside, Lin Zhenxin sat on the sofa.

After this, she would never be overly kind again in her life!

Her feet curled up on the sofa, though the room had air conditioning, it was not enough with the window open, making it incredibly cold.

Wrapping her arms around herself, she tossed and turned half the night, her sweater soaked with sweat, feeling very uncomfortable.

Once the room’s smell had dissipated, Lin Zhenxin closed the window, then turned around and saw the upright photo on the table.

It was a photo of He Bainian and He Nuoxin, the siblings.

He Nuoxin was very beautiful.

Standing next to He Bainian, the two were smiling happily.

A white silk long dress paired with long curly hair, looking just like a doll, not to mention the porcelain-like skin, smooth and clean.

Involuntarily, Lin Zhenxin picked up the photo.

Li Yanan and He Nuoxin...what exactly was their relationship?

She had wanted to ask countless times, but always couldn’t speak up.

Such a beautiful woman, even as another woman herself, Lin Zhenxin was full of admiration for her, what was Li Yanan’s attitude towards her?

"What kind of person are you?" Lin Zhenxin looked at the photo of He Nuoxin and couldn’t help but speak.

After placing the photo back on the table, Lin Zhenxin returned to sit on the sofa.

The leather sofa was soft, and the surroundings were very quiet. Lin Zhenxin, slightly drowsy, nodded her head like a little chick pecking at rice...

He Bainian opened his eyes around three a.m.

Propping himself up, after confirming he was back at the hotel, he let out a small breath of relief.

Earlier today, Li Yanan had left with Lin Zhenxin, and that meal ended on a sour note.

Li Miya kept pestering him, and He Bainian didn’t bother about her face anymore, publicly scolding her until she ran off crying.

Once away from Yunjing, he felt indescribable feelings, and ended up walking into a roadside stall.

As for what happened afterward, He Bainian couldn’t remember.

As the thin blanket slipped down, revealing his strong upper body, He Bainian suddenly noticed he was shirtless, about to think...

Whether it was a delusion, he heard another breathing in the room?

Barefoot, he left the bed and followed the sound of breathing, rounding the sofa, his once sleepy and slightly intoxicated eyes suddenly widened.

That slender figure lying on the sofa, wasn’t that Lin Zhenxin?

Even He Bainian, usually calm and composed, was shocked, utterly dumbfounded!

Lin Zhenxin didn’t notice someone approaching.

She just curled up on the sofa, sleeping uncomfortably, her turtleneck sweater covering half her face, not hiding her exhaustion.

The room’s only thin blanket was on He Bainian, leaving Lin Zhenxin with nothing to cover herself, her mind occupied with thoughts, sleeping restlessly. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

He Bainian snapped out of his daze.

Turning around, he drew the thin blanket from the bed, cautiously draping it over Lin Zhenxin.

Watching her up close, the only other time he had the chance was that day she was unconscious with a fever.

For a while, He Bainian’s hand just froze there.

Her snow-white face still bore traces of fatigue, her long lashes casting shadows on her face.

Her long hair was tied back into a ponytail, exposing her smooth and full forehead...

He Bainian took it all in.

At that moment, He Bainian was squatting in front of the sofa, his upper body bare, still smelling of alcohol.

Lin Zhenxin shifted slightly, her light-colored lips peeking from the turtleneck sweater, slightly pursed.

Thinking back, ever since his stepmother moved in, he had felt nothing but aversion to matters between men and women, during his years studying abroad.

It wasn’t that he lacked female attention, be it abroad or back home, there were plenty of women of all shapes and sizes.

But for He Bainian, none of them sparked anything besides irritation and disgust.

But...Lin Zhenxin’s presence shattered all that.

Even though they’re both women, Li Miya’s proximity only made him feel nauseated, while Lin Zhenxin made him want to get closer.

If He Bainian couldn’t understand what this meant by now, he would indeed be dense!

Did he like her?

Like a woman already married to Li Yanan?

And Li Yanan was the man his sister held dearly in her heart!

Without considering other factors, just the relationship among the four of them was the greatest farce!

He Bainian thought silently, though his gaze didn’t leave Lin Zhenxin.

How did she end up here?

Instinctively glancing at the tightly shut door, He Bainian’s stern face bore contemplation.

As his gaze returned to Lin Zhenxin, it seemed he was bewitched, his tall frame unconsciously leaning closer.

He Bainian propped one hand on the back of the sofa, the other on the premium rosewood floor, his whole body inching forward.

In truth, he didn’t plan to do anything, he just wanted to be nearer to her...

Even closer...

Lin Zhenxin was having a nightmare.

For some reason, in her dream, she faced the scene of a raging fire about to engulf her, overwhelming her with unease.

Instinctively wanting to curl into Li Yanan’s embrace, only to grasp at nothing.

Her eyes flew open!

Only to lock gazes with a pair of deep eyes!

Lin Zhenxin was stunned at first.

Then blood rushed from her limbs to her brain!

All she heard was a smack, her graceful hand raised without hesitation, landing fiercely on He Bainian’s face!

He Bainian’s face turned to the side, his hands still supporting himself on the floor and sofa.

Lin Zhenxin instantly sobered, her palm still tingling with pain. What had He Bainian been doing when she woke up...

Did she misunderstand? Or was he planning...

For a moment, the atmosphere between them was indescribably strange.

"Why are you here?" He Bainian suddenly spoke, as if the slap hadn’t landed on his face.

Lin Zhenxin’s eyes harbored caution, saying nothing for a long while.

Instead, He Bainian stood up, the alcohol all but gone when he’d seen Lin Zhenxin lying on the sofa.

"You got drunk earlier, your assistant called me."

His assistant had initially sounded grave over the phone, then claimed He Bainian had no friends or family in J City, rambling on.

Looking back, Lin Zhenxin regretted her decision to relent and come over.

"Why didn’t you leave?" He Bainian barefooted walked to the wardrobe, finding a navy V-neck sweater to put on.

"That’s a question for your capable assistant; they locked the door from outside!"

Lin Zhenxin then noticed the thin blanket meant for He Bainian was covering her.

He Bainian seemed to be searching for something, frowning at the shirt stained with vomit on the floor.

Then, looking up at Lin Zhenxin.

"Your assistant took it off."

Lin Zhenxin stood up from the sofa, deliberately keeping her distance from He Bainian.

Inwardly, she was annoyed with herself for today’s recklessness.

She shouldn’t have come out like this, especially not lying to Li Yanan, claiming it was for something else.

Indeed, she was... so thoughtless!

He Bainian was aware of the smell of alcohol on himself, wanting to find his phone but unable to, feeling a bit irritated.

In the end, he only found the pack of cigarettes at the bedside and lit one.

"Lin Zhenxin, leave him." After a long while, He Bainian finally spoke.

"What did you say?" Lin Zhenxin thought she must have misheard.

He Bainian took a deep breath of smoke, unintentionally moving the computer mouse, the computer, previously in standby, waking up.

Various messaging applications started logging in automatically.

"Let Li Yanan be with my sister." He Bainian’s deep gaze fell on her.

Lin Zhenxin’s expression couldn’t have looked worse.

"You be with me!" As soon as He Bainian uttered this, Lin Zhenxin felt nothing short of incredulous!
