My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 130 - 128 Getting Off 2
Chapter 130: Chapter 128 Getting Off 2
The situation has become like this now, and her heart is full of guilt!
"Have you ever thought, while I watched you trampling on my baseline with disappointment and sadness, I still couldn’t bear to be angry with you..."
Lin Zhenxin suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Yanan’s arm, which was still tense until now.
She really realized her mistake!
"I’m sorry, I didn’t think too much at that time." She originally thought that as long as she sent He Bainian back to the hotel, it would be fine! fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Li Yanan pulled his arm out of Lin Zhenxin’s grasp with a cold face.
"Get out of the car!" The voice was cold, without any room for refusal!
Lin Zhenxin stared blankly at Li Yanan’s profile.
This was the first time Li Yanan treated her so coldly, her heart felt empty and sad.
Daring not to say anything more, Lin Zhenxin pushed open the car door and got out.
The moment the car door was closed again, it was locked from the inside, and the car started.
In the dark night, she watched the car speed away, soon turning into a spot of light until it was no longer visible.
The cold wind of early winter blew harshly.
Lin Zhenxin slowly squatted on the roadside and cried loudly...
She didn’t know how long she cried.
Lin Zhenxin reached out to stop a car, sat in the back seat, and took out her phone from her coat to call Yao Lemon.
At four in the morning, Yao Lemon on the other end of the phone was sleeping soundly. She was about to scold when she unexpectedly heard Lin Zhenxin’s heavy nasal voice.
"Zhenxin? You’ve been crying? What happened?" Yao Lemon sat up abruptly in bed.
"I’m coming to your house now, is it convenient?"
Lin Zhenxin talked to Yao Lemon on the phone, but didn’t notice that the taxi driver kept looking back through the rearview mirrors.
From the moment this girl got in, he wondered if he was overthinking it, why was there another car following?
In fact, just behind this taxi, there really was another car following.
Li Yanan’s face was like frost, his hands on the steering wheel.
Just now, at the intersection ahead, he made a U-turn and took a different route back.
Seeing Lin Zhenxin squatting at the roadside crying, he simply turned off the engine and smoked in the car.
Even though he was on the verge of losing his rationality from anger, he still couldn’t leave her there alone.
He couldn’t bear to...
Nor did he feel assured.
But Li Yanan still wanted to use this opportunity to handle it coldly.
Firstly, to understand that his temper was too erratic and explosive—if, in a moment of desperation, he did something that hurt her, he would only have himself to blame.
Secondly, this time what Zhenxin did was indeed too much.
He understood that, in her eyes, He Bainian was the person who had sent her the money back then, and because of this, there was internal struggle in her mind.
Inviting He Bainian to dinner was all because of this; going out last night as well.
Her initial intention might have been just a moment of struggle, a moment of compassion.
But men and women have different thoughts; something that seems ordinary to a woman might be suggestive to a man.
After a moment with the cigarette, Li Yanan had calmed down.
Their marriage was essentially an accident fueled by his intentional push and couldn’t withstand too much suspicion and hurt.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lin Zhenxin getting up and stopping a cab.
Li Yanan followed silently, taking down the license plate number in case it was needed later...
At the gate of Xingfu Garden community.
Yao Lemon came out with her down coat thrown over her pajamas.
This community belonged to the Fire Department’s housing, with armed police on duty at the gate 24 hours a day, so taxis couldn’t enter.
After getting off the taxi, Lin Zhenxin pocketed the change.
Seeing Yao Lemon, she forced a smile.
"Alright, if you don’t want to smile, then don’t, come inside with me first, it’s freezing out here."
Yao Lemon tightened her down coat and led Lin Zhenxin into the community.
As their figures disappeared at the entrance, a car lingered at the corner...
Gu Daxiong wasn’t home.
Yao Lemon found a set of pajamas for her and let Lin Zhenxin take a shower first.
She took a box of milk from the fridge, heated it with the microwave, yawning while placing it on the dining table.
Not sure how long she waited, Lin Zhenxin finally came out of the bathroom.
Being even slimmer than Yao Lemon, the pajamas seemed a bit loose.
"So, what happened tonight?" Yao Lemon propped her chin with her hand, sitting on the other side of the dining table looking at her.
Lin Zhenxin took a sip of milk to calm down, then recounted everything to Yao Lemon.
"Oh my god, Lin Zhenxin, has your brain malfunctioned? Even I can’t defend what you did this time!"
Yao Lemon could imagine how awkward the scene was at the time...
Even after washing her face, Lin Zhenxin couldn’t hide her swollen eyes.
"You kept talking on and off on WeChat, I didn’t ask closely, what were you thinking?"
Yao Lemon widened her eyes, completely awake.
"I thought about things too simplistically at the time."
"I did get angry with He Bainian always bringing up He Nuoxin, but you also know about back then—without that money, my grandma and I would have died!" Lin Zhenxin’s face was full of struggle and pain.
"Do you understand the feeling when you open your eyes and it seems like the whole world is hostile to you?"
"Lemon, back then, you watched me kneel in the principal’s office, begging him to refund the remaining tuition of the first year because I was so broke! So many teachers and the counselor, so many eyes filled with sympathy and pity—I still have nightmares about it!"
Yao Lemon’s expression was grave, she understood, she knew all of it.
"Because I couldn’t afford the compensation, those neighbors pointed at me, calling me a jinx, hitting me with brooms and chasing me away..."
"Stop it!" Yao Lemon covered Lin Zhenxin’s hand with hers.
"Without the money from He Bainian, I wouldn’t even have the dignity to be human."
"My feelings towards He Bainian are really complex and contradictory—he is the person who helped me out of that low point, yet he is also He Nuoxin’s older brother! I want to repay this debt of gratitude as much as possible, but because of Yanan, I am destined not to get too close to He Bainian."
"I admit that what I did last night was foolish, but when his assistant made it sound so serious, even though I knew I shouldn’t do it, I still did! Even though Yanan had just gotten into a fight with me because of He Bainian, I chose the worst way and thought I could smooth things over by hiding it!"
"My self-righteousness and my cleverness have made things into what they are now, it’s indeed all my fault!"
"But how could I possibly say these words to Yanan?" Lin Zhenxin smiled bitterly, she didn’t dare.
"He is so good, if it weren’t for the accident, our marriage, given his conditions, how could he have taken a liking to me."
Mentioning Li Yanan, Lin Zhenxin’s eyes and brows were tinged with feelings, though she was unaware.
"You don’t think... Li Yanan doesn’t like you, do you?" Yao Lemon heard her tone, as if she really believed that.
Lin Zhenxin didn’t say anything.
"I think your mind is really off! If Li Yanan didn’t like you, would he do so much for you? Would he be so furious tonight? If not for you, why else would it be—for He Bainian?" Yao Lemon supported her head with one hand, truly feeling that Zhenxin’s inferiority complex was too heavy.
"Our marriage originally started from a joking remark I made, the better he is to me, the more unreal I feel."
Lin Zhenxin’s fingers traced the rim of the glass, facing Lemon, she finally spoke up.
Yao Lemon was speechless for a moment.
"You’re done for, Lin Zhenxin, you’re really done for!"
After some time, Yao Lemon couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh!
Lin Zhenxin looked up, her eyes filled with confusion, not understanding what Yao Lemon meant.
"You’ve fallen in love with him, you’ve fallen in love with Li Yanan!"
Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin’s eyes widened.
"It’s because of love that you’re anxious and feel inferior!"
Yao Lemon didn’t have the heart to blame Lin Zhenxin for anything.
"Will he forgive me?" After a long while, Lin Zhenxin asked, eyes unfocused.
"What’s done is done, thinking more won’t help!"
"Whether Li Yanan will forgive you, I don’t know, but right now, get to bed immediately and rest up!"
Saying this, Yao Lemon led Lin Zhenxin to the bedroom...
Li Yanan sat in the car smoking, one cigarette after another.
The window fully lowered, the early winter wind howled inside, and despite the car heater being on, it was useless.
Those deep eyes like the night contained too much.
The cigarette’s glowing tip flickered, and his sharp features were edged with a bit of exhaustion.
He opened the glove compartment; two bottles of medicine lay there quietly.
They were prescribed by Dean Xun to help him recover.
After the last check-up, Dean Xun had said that the medication residue in his body had greatly improved.
If he continues, having children shouldn’t be an issue.
Li Yanan reclined his seat, his brow furrowing deeply.
He really wanted to have a child with Zhenxin, really too much!
As they say, there’s a generational gap every three years; he’s ten years older than Zhenxin, creating many uncertain factors.
Li Yanan really wanted to be selfish just this once, but Zhenxin is only twenty-two, her life holds limitless possibilities.
With a bang, he shut the drawer.
His chest heaved uncontrollably.
That was due to the surge of emotion.
Suddenly, the phone rang shortly.
A text message arrived.
—I’m sorry.
The sender was obvious.
Li Yanan’s dry fingertips caressed the cold screen, emotions in his eyes dark and unreadable.
Ultimately, he didn’t reply...
The sky gradually brightened.
In the presidential suite on the hotel’s top floor, another person hadn’t slept all night.
The assistant had already been sent to the hospital by the hotel staff; when found on the rooftop, his state was miserable.
His shirt was thrown aside, and He Bainian’s lean body was covered in bruises, the spot where Li Yanan kicked below his ribs was unbearably painful.
Seemingly, a rib was broken.
——He Bainian, if my actions tonight have made you misunderstand, I apologize!
——He Bainian, I do not like you!
——Whether in the past or now, I do not like you!
——If these words weren’t spoken to me directly by Li Yanan, I wouldn’t believe them!
With a thud, the whisky glass in Li Yanan’s hand was hurled fiercely against the wall!
His eyes grew darker with the rising haze!
