My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 175 - 172: For the Rest of My Life, Please Guide Me 1
Chapter 175: Chapter 172: For the Rest of My Life, Please Guide Me 1
Jin Muchi glanced at the bowl on the table... something that couldn’t really be called a feast for the senses and silently approved it.
Lin Zhenxin sat beside Li Yanan and soon fell asleep.
Jin Muchi came in shortly after, followed by a servant delivering a meal.
Li Yanan pointed at a thin blanket, signaling with his eyes for Jin Muchi to cover Lin Zhenxin.
The air conditioning in the center of the room was still a bit too strong.
It was just that...
Li Yanan paused, his gaze falling on Lin Zhenxin’s hand that was unintentionally exposed.
The originally jade-like fingers were now covered with knife wounds, looking particularly stark.
"She wanted to cook for you, but... it was a mess."
Noticing Li Yanan’s gaze, Jin Muchi quickly jokingly said.
"But why is she so afraid of fire? She acts like she’s facing a life-or-death situation."
Jin Muchi couldn’t help but shake his head.
"Her dad set a fire and burned himself to death."
"..." Well, he dug a hole for himself and buried himself in it.
"What about the stuff?" Finally, as the effect of the medicine wore off a bit, Li Yanan regained consciousness.
"What stuff?" Jin Muchi was momentarily stunned.
Li Yanan didn’t speak, just shot a cold glance at him.
After a while, Jin Muchi finally understood what he meant.
"Are you sure you want to eat it?" It was rare for him to show such an awkward expression.
Even though he knew Lin Zhenxin meant well for Li Yanan, he really couldn’t muster up a good feeling about that bowl of stuff.
Li Yanan looked at him.
"Alright, alright, I’ll bring it to you myself, okay!"
Jin Muchi really couldn’t stand being stared at by Li Yanan like that, feeling a cold chill running down his back.
"Oh, right, Brother Li called."
Before stepping out, Jin Muchi seemed to remember something, turning his head to look at Li Yanan.
"He’s in charge of solving the Ruan Family’s issue, telling you to rest up and not to worry about anything."
Lin Zhenxin almost didn’t sleep all night last night.
When she finally woke up, it was already a bit dark outside.
Soon, she noticed that Li Yanan seemed a bit off.
His face was even paler than before she went to sleep, and beads of cold sweat were rolling down his forehead.
Frightened, she quickly went out to call the doctor.
The doctor came quickly, followed by Jin Muchi and Xiang Xiaokui.
Xiang Xiaokui had been brought from the Danang Hotel by Jin Muchi’s people in the afternoon.
"Is Brother Li alright?" Xiang Xiaokui peeked out from behind Jin Muchi, asking worriedly.
The doctor looked a bit confused; logically, things should have been getting better based on the medicine prescribed, so how did it suddenly turn this way?
"Did he eat something?"
His gaze fell on the bowl on the bedside table, and he thought for a moment before asking.
Jin Muchi slapped his thigh, but given that Lin Zhenxin was still there, it wasn’t appropriate to say anything.
But Lin Zhenxin wasn’t dumb; seeing his expression, she immediately understood.
"You didn’t make him eat that, did you?" That stuff was hard to swallow even for herself!
"He wanted to eat it himself."
Jin Muchi made an effort to defend himself.
"Eat what?" Xiang Xiaokui was still completely clueless.
Embarrassed, Lin Zhenxin explained to the doctor, no wonder the bowl on the bedside table had looked so familiar earlier.
The doctor gave Lin Zhenxin a slightly nuanced look.
Then he prescribed some additional medicine for Li Yanan but didn’t say anything more and left.
Xiang Xiaokui hopped over to Lin Zhenxin’s side.
Seeing her gaze constantly on the bowl on the bedside table, she couldn’t help but take a sip from it.
Jin Muchi’s eyes widened suddenly, rushing over to Xiang Xiaokui in two quick steps.
"Ugh..." The next second, Xiang Xiaokui couldn’t help but gag.
"This soup is toxic..."
Jin Muchi, giving Lin Zhenxin some face, turned away, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.
Li Yanan woke up in the middle of the night.
Although his stomach still felt a bit uncomfortable, it was much better.
Remembering the earlier scenes, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Accidentally tugging at his wound, he still found it hard to stop.
He was really happy Zhenxin had the intention to cook, but the taste...
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Zhenxin had just returned from outside and saw him like this.
"I was thinking, in the future, in our home, Aunt Xu and I should do the cooking."
Lin Zhenxin’s face turned red in an instant.
"Shut up!" Clearly just finished with a bath, her entire being had a soft pinkish hue.
"Since you’re awake, take your medicine."
Lin Zhenxin mixed a cup of warm water and poured the medicine into her palm, bringing it to his mouth.
Li Yanan took the medicine silently and even licked the sweet coating off her palm as an added bonus.
"Give me your hand."
Hearing him say this, though puzzled, Lin Zhenxin extended her hand to him.
Li Yanan’s large palm gently brushed over her soft fingers, the knife wounds paling from just being washed.
"Am I useless?" Lin Zhenxin felt a bit deflated.
She wasn’t the most beautiful, her personality wasn’t great, and she didn’t even have a knack for cooking.
She was always causing trouble, unable to share his burdens.
This feeling had only grown stronger since they arrived in Vietnam.
"I like you the most when you can’t do anything and rely on me."
Li Yanan said, his coarse fingers grazing her knife wounds, causing her to shiver slightly.
"Come here." He lifted the thin blanket.
"It will press on your wound." Lin Zhenxin actually missed his embrace too, but... she was worried about his abdominal wound.
"But I want to hold you."
Li Yanan’s words easily made Lin Zhenxin’s heart melt.
Slowly, she slipped off her shoes and lay down beside him.
"Once I’m healed, we have to go back." Li Yanan said suddenly.
Though somewhat prepared, Lin Zhenxin still found the moment unexplainably bittersweet when it finally came.
"Mm." She nodded obediently, hiding her reluctance.
After just finishing her bath, Lin Zhenxin was emanating a sweet fragrance...
In contrast, even though she had helped Li Yanan clean up simply, he hadn’t bathed in two days.
Thinking this, Li Yanan felt a little uneasy.
He didn’t want Zhenxin to see him looking so grungy.
He wanted to show her his best side, not his current state.
"Li Yanan..." Lin Zhenxin suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?"
"I love you too."
Li Yanan was momentarily taken aback, then overwhelmed with uncontrollable joy.
He had never imagined that one day, she would feel the same way about him—like a dream!
Lin Zhenxin had actually said this once before while he was unconscious.
But she wanted to say it again when he was awake.
"I don’t know when it began, but I started to rely on you more, gradually understanding your likes, caring about your matters..."
She nestled in his arms, speaking softly with a sleepy voice.
"I’m also scared."
"Afraid that you’d suddenly get tired of this life, tired of me."
"Just as you unexpectedly entered my life, you might suddenly leave me."
"As this feeling grew stronger, I finally realized, Li Yanan... I really, really like you."
"With a courage I’ve never had before, I just want to be with you."
"Don’t leave me, alright?" Lin Zhenxin’s voice grew quieter and quieter.
She was a simple person, showing all her emotions straightforwardly to those she trusted.
One could see through her at a glance.
At that moment, she bit her lower lip shyly, her fair face tinged with pink.
She displayed her purest, clearest feelings...
Right in front of him.
Leaving it all up to him.
But ultimately, sleepiness got the better of her.
Li Yanan watched amusedly as Lin Zhenxin had just been speaking in his arms.
Now, she was lying there, sound asleep.
With a doting smile at the corners of his lips, Li Yanan couldn’t suppress his joy, nuzzling against her forehead.
"For the rest of my life, I entrust myself to you."
Upon waking up.
Li Yanan instinctively reached out to pull Lin Zhenxin into his arms, but all he felt was emptiness.
Opening his eyes, Lin Zhenxin was nowhere to be found.
"Don’t look, she’s gone out with Xiang Xiaokui." Jin Muchi came in, mentioning casually.
"The monk you asked me to investigate is the famous Master Zhi Hai in Hui’an."
"Many wealthy people spend fortunes just for his guidance; he truly has real skills."
Jin Muchi pulled up a chair, sitting beside him.
"Furthermore, the incense records at the temple indeed have donation entries from Tu Xinya from many years ago."
——This is a very ominous sign.
——Whether you believe it or not, within half a year, you’ll face great calamity in your fate.
——At best, you’ll see blood; at worst, you’ll lose your life, and it could bring catastrophe to those around you.
Zhi Hai’s words echoed repeatedly in his dreams last night.
They gave Li Yanan a strong sense of unease.
"Where did they go?"
"To the market..."
Given that she had made a mess of the kitchen yesterday, Lin Zhenxin volunteered to accompany the landlady to the market this morning, while Xiang Xiaokui went purely out of boredom.
Hui’an’s morning market was vibrant, with the freshest vegetables, fruits, and seafood.
And with few tourists, it was predominantly locals.
Not long after they went out, Lin Zhenxin noticed many people gathering in one direction.
After asking the landlady, she learned that today was the monthly day of worship.
Xiang Xiaokui pulled Lin Zhenxin, wanting to join the bustle.
The landlady smiled, not minding letting the two of them go.
"They say the fortunes here are particularly accurate, and I want to get one too."
Xiang Xiaokui turned to look at Lin Zhenxin, smiling brightly. Before Lin Zhenxin could reply, she darted in like a little monkey.
Lin Zhenxin stood in the center of the temple, surrounded by people coming and going, the smell of incense filling her nostrils.
Making her feel very uncomfortable.
Especially as the swirling smoke seemed to envelope her.
Suddenly, she found that the worshippers who were kneeling and chanting turned to kneel towards her direction.
This caused her to instinctively step back.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into something.
Turning her head, it was the monk from the Chinese Association who had been playing chess that day.
"Master Zhi Hai..."
She heard others call him that, and soon realized that the people were kneeling for him.
"Come with me." Zhi Hai didn’t look at the others, just pointed at Lin Zhenxin.
After speaking, without waiting for a response, he turned and walked away.
Lin Zhenxin stood silently for a moment, then followed along...
