My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 133 - 131: Sorry 3

In the noisy bar, he quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Are you really that shameless? I told you to come, and you really came?" Li Chengze stood up, towering over Tu Haohao.

Tu Haohao widened her eyes. Even in the dim atmosphere, they were bright like stars.

"Do you really think that just because you bring a ring and tell me to marry you, I’ll do it? What do you take me for? A garbage collector? Seeing you looking like you’re half-alive, not even sure if you’ll survive the surgery, and you want me to marry you? Become a widower?"

Li Chengze said a string of words without changing his expression, and Tu Haohao’s face grew paler, while the beauty who had just been drinking with him laughed obsequiously.

"Why get angry with a little girl, Mr. Li?" she said, touching his chest.

Seeing Tu Haohao’s face turn white, Li Chengze couldn’t quite understand what he was feeling inside.

He couldn’t figure out what exactly Tu Haohao liked about him.

Even he looked down on his own behavior, yet she treated him like a treasure. What did he do to deserve her fixation?

"But you... but you said yesterday..."

Even though Tu Haohao was used to his cold remarks, the pain inside her...

...was still indescribable!

"Didn’t your mother teach you not to believe everything others say?"

Li Chengze smirked, reaching for a glass of high-proof whiskey from the table.

He walked slowly up to Tu Haohao and brought the glass to her pale pink lips, his gaze lingering there for a moment.

Though Li Chengze was usually dismissive of others, those familiar with him sensed that...

today, he was deliberately being cruel to this girl.

"Why don’t you drink this glass, and I’ll consider it?"

A full glass of strong liquor—not to mention that Tu Haohao’s body couldn’t handle it now, she wouldn’t have been able even when she was healthy.

Tu Haohao remained silent, out of place amidst the flashing lights and green liquor.

Her eyes stayed fixed on Li Chengze’s face, merging with the memory of the last night before she left to study abroad.

"Okay, I’ll drink it." Saying this, Tu Haohao took the glass and made to drink it down.

Li Chengze’s friends were dumbfounded; if she actually drank it, the consequences would be serious.

Just as they were about to stop her, Li Chengze suddenly slapped the glass from Tu Haohao’s hand, sending it flying against the wall!

Tu Haohao’s fingers were reddened by the strike, pulling back instinctively from the pain.

At this moment, everyone fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

"Tu Haohao, are you crazy?" Li Chengze finally dropped his teasing expression to seriously look at the pale girl before him.

Since she returned from abroad, she had been following him and Mia around like a little shadow.

He knew she liked him, but adhering to the principle of not fooling around at home, he’d completely ignored her.

"I’m not crazy; you’re the one who didn’t keep your word!" Tu Haohao clutched her fingers, whispering.

Li Chengze tightly pressed his thin lips together, just staring at her.

The next moment, Tu Haohao felt her wrist being yanked hard, and she was dragged by Li Chengze toward the outside uncontrollably.

"Cheng... Brother Chengze, where are you taking me?"

He walked too quickly, his legs were too long, and Tu Haohao felt she couldn’t keep up, gasping for air.

Without saying a word, when he noticed her lagging, Li Chengze simply turned back and lifted Tu Haohao horizontally in his arms!

Turning right out of the bar, the sign of a chain hotel soon came into view. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Brother Chengze..."

Tu Haohao widened her eyes, watching as he seemed about to walk inside.

"You dared to propose to a man, but you’re scared of getting a room?"

Li Chengze laughed wantonly, a provocativeness in his gaze!

He was doing it on purpose, Tu Haohao knew, yet she couldn’t understand why he kept mocking her like this time and again.

"I dare!"

Lin Zhenxin, exhausted from crying, slept deeply and showed no signs of waking up even as evening fell.

Li Yanan sat by the bed, quietly watching her.

The rough fingertips of his big hand gently caressed her delicate hand and the ring on her ring finger.

He hadn’t expected her to know the true meaning of this ring.

Once-in-a-lifetime love, a once-in-a-lifetime kiss, for the most important person.

When Jin Muchi’s most famous yet eccentric jewelry designer impulsively designed two plain platinum wedding bands without diamonds, released as a concept version, he bought them without hesitation.

He spent all the first money he had earned back then, but he never regretted it.

Perhaps even then, he knew this ring would end up on her finger.

——I hate that cold place...

——Do you hate me?

——I hate them, but I like you...

These were Lin Zhenxin’s drunken words after having too much cherry wine, yet even so, those words made him ecstatic.

But today, she said it while sober.

——Li Yanan, I like you. Can you stop liking others?

Cautiously, with eyes swollen red like walnuts from crying, the way she looked at him made it seem like he had wronged her.

Elbow propped on the pillow, body leaning forward, close enough to touch Lin Zhenxin at a close distance.

Lin Zhenxin had concerns on her mind last night, and coupled with waiting for his reply, she hadn’t closed her eyes all night.

Even while asleep now, she slept restlessly.

Li Yanan watched her quietly, his body still cold from the earlier cold shower, and his feet icy.

He stretched his long fingers toward her.

First, brushing across her smooth forehead, then trailing to her small nose, finally resting on her cherry-like lips.

"Who else can I love?" Knowing she couldn’t hear, Li Yanan spoke in a low voice.

He rubbed her soft lips with his thumb, recalling how Lin Zhenxin used to nuzzle his face with those lips like a child.

His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as the desire like flowing water slowly filled his eyes.

"Don’t..." Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin mumbled in her sleep.

Her brows knitted tightly, as if caught in a nightmare.

"Don’t... be angry..."

Lin Zhenxin once again dreamt of the scene where Li Yanan callously threw her out of the car, the pain in her heart like hot oil scalding through.

In her unconscious searching, it wasn’t until she caught his familiar cool scent that she settled down again.

Seeing the woman snuggling up to him from the other side of the bed, Li Yanan felt a helplessness in his eyes, unbothered by the cold.

He was as cold as an ice block, yet only she would lean into him.

"If you say I shouldn’t be angry, should I just not be?" Li Yanan spoke with a half-smile.

——He said you played with... He Nuoxin’s feelings, and... drove her to suicide... her depression worsened.

That sentence suddenly echoed in his mind, and the smile on Li Yanan’s face faded away until it disappeared completely.

The image of a pretty face flashed in his mind, with rare traces of guilt on his cold features.

The matters involving He Nuoxin were a secret that couldn’t be stirred; he couldn’t even tell Zhenxin about what had happened between him and He Nuoxin...

He Nuoxin was too sensitive and fragile, and she was the only sister of He Bainian.

Thinking back to that time, it was indeed his mistake, which was why he repeatedly spared He Bainian as long as he didn’t trespass the line of touching Zhenxin, because...

Li Yanan’s heart was heavy and oppressive, as he played with Lin Zhenxin’s fingers to calm his emotions.

Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin’s phone rang with a text notification.

Li Yanan casually pressed a button, and the ringtone immediately quieted down, though a partial message preview popped on the screen.

His expression instantly turned cold.

Because the message was from...

He Bainian!

Sliding the unlock key required a password, Li Yanan first tried using her birthday.

Incorrect.

Her grandmother’s birthday.

Still incorrect.

Finally, Li Yanan hesitated before entering his own birthday.

Unlocked successfully.

Perhaps he hadn’t expected Lin Zhenxin to use his birthday as her phone password, Li Yanan’s expression finally softened a bit.

——Last night, I said I like you, and I was serious.

Chain hotel, Room 065.

Tu Haohao nervously sat on the bed, listening to the sound of water from the bathroom.

Then suddenly, the water stopped.

Tu Haohao’s heart raced to her throat.

After a moment, the frosted door of the bathroom was pushed open from inside, and Li Chengze stepped out wrapped in a bath towel around his waist.

Tu Haohao sprang off the bed, eyes wide as she looked at him.

"Scared? If you’re scared, get lost. I’ll find someone else!"

Li Chengze carelessly shook his head like a big dog, water splashing everywhere.

"I..." Tu Haohao’s mind went blank with nerves, and she quickly walked toward the bathroom, taking a towel with her.

"I’ll... help you dry your hair," she said.

Li Chengze stopped abruptly, and the disdainful, scornful look he purposefully put on cracked for a moment.

Tu Haohao cautiously approached and draped the white towel over his head.

Li Chengze was so tall that Tu Haohao had to stand on her tiptoes desperately.

Her soft hands rubbed back and forth over the towel.

Tu Haohao couldn’t help but recall the past.

After playing basketball, he loved cooling off under a tap yet hated drying his hair.

Every time, she would prepare a towel and put it on his head without a word after he finished washing.

Chhhr...

Snapping back from her memories, Tu Haohao realized that the zipper of her white down jacket had been slid open by Li Chengze.

Revealing the light pink sweater inside layered over a white shirt, like a budding cherry blossom.

"Cheng..." Even before she could speak, Li Chengze bent down and forcefully kissed her!

Tu Haohao’s eyes widened, holding her breath as if taken by surprise in this moment.

The enormous neon signs outside the window dazzled brightly, and in the hotel room dimly lit by a yellow wall lamp, the lights flickered rhythmically.

By the time Tu Haohao came back to her senses, she was already lying on the bed.

The soft mattress creaked dully under the combined weight of two people.

"I... I haven’t bathed yet..." Tu Haohao’s face flushed red, looking up at Li Chengze, whose hands were propped beside her cheeks.
