My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 176 - 173: Please Advise More in the Remaining Life 2
Chapter 176: Chapter 173: Please Advise More in the Remaining Life 2
Lin Zhenxin unexpectedly found a lotus pond in the backyard.
The pink buds stood gracefully among the dark green lotus leaves, creating a breathtaking view.
Just as she was pondering, a splash sounded in her ears, and a plump carp jumped out of the lotus pond.
Lin Zhenxin was so focused that she didn’t notice someone had approached her from behind.
"What are you thinking about, girl?"
Zhi Hai’s expression was kind, his words spoken in a slow and steady manner.
"Whether to braise it or make it into soup." Lin Zhenxin, caught off guard, spoke her thoughts honestly.
"..." Zhi Hai rare to say anything.
Lin Zhenxin also felt a bit awkward, wanting to eat the fish from the host’s pond right in front of him was rather thick-skinned of her.
"Master Zhi Hai..." Lin Zhenxin was about to speak, but Zhi Hai laughed.
That carefree laughter was hard to ignore, even the words Lin Zhenxin wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
"Actually..." A sly smirk suddenly appeared on Zhi Hai’s kindly face.
"Hmm?" Lin Zhenxin responded instinctively.
"Grilled is the tastiest."
"..." This time, it was Lin Zhenxin who was left speechless.
"Why did Master call me here, what is it about?"
Lin Zhenxin tilted her head to look at Master Zhi Hai, to be honest, compared to the last time, she felt much less resistant inside.
"There are eight sufferings in life, do you know what they are?"
Zhi Hai looked at the lotus pond, where lotus pods had already appeared.
"Birth, aging, illness, death, separation from loved ones, prolonged resentment, unattainable desires, and the inability to let go."
Lin Zhenxin thought for a moment and answered anyway.
"If one knows the result is suffering, why do people still persist obstinately?"
When Zhi Hai said these words, there was an indescribable sense of transcendence, truly possessing the demeanor of a master.
But in Lin Zhenxin’s ears, it sounded particularly harsh.
Actually, she really disliked hearing the same thing over and over by her ear.
Repetitively.
Just like how He Bainian often mentioned his sister in front of her.
"Master, I also want to ask you a question."
Lin Zhenxin sighed, her expression suddenly becoming serious.
A subtle expression appeared on Master Zhi Hai’s face.
"If people know that what they eat every day will be excreted, why do they still satisfy their appetite?"
After speaking, Lin Zhenxin just looked at Master Zhi Hai like that.
Master Zhi Hai’s expression suddenly turned peculiar.
"Even if what you said about my fate having calamities is true, even if the calamity in my fate is really brought by him, so what?"
Lin Zhenxin gazed at the budding lotus flowers and chuckled softly.
"For me, losing love is scarier than losing life."
Master Zhi Hai sighed, seemingly realizing that no matter what he said, she wouldn’t listen.
"To me, these are nothing but illusions."
"So, I can’t reach your level, and you similarly can’t understand my pursuit of love."
Lin Zhenxin smiled slightly.
Master Zhi Hai clasped his hands together, murmured softly.
Not knowing how much time had passed, he suddenly took out a triangular amulet tied with a red string.
"Fate has brought us together, this amulet can help you ward off a calamity, I hope you will agree to wear it at all times."
Master Zhi Hai’s gaze was sincere, and after some thought, Lin Zhenxin finally nodded...
After coming out from the backyard, Lin Zhenxin immediately saw Xiang Xiaokui, who seemed on the verge of tears from worry.
Seeing her come out, Xiang Xiaokui ran over, clutching her sleeve tightly, refusing to let go.
"I thought I’d lost you."
Hearing Xiang Xiaokui’s words, Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but laugh.
The two hadn’t walked more than a few steps when a young monk carrying a bunch of freshly picked lotus flowers ran over from behind.
"Benefactor, Master asked me to give these flowers to you."
Xiang Xiaokui tilted her head, looking at the bunch of lotus flowers. Lin Zhenxin pondered for a moment and reached out to take them.
"Thank him for me."
The young monk clasped his hands together and turned to leave.
Lin Zhenxin and Xiang Xiaokui hadn’t walked far before they noticed that others were looking at them differently.
Xiang Xiaokui was fine, but most gazes landed on Lin Zhenxin, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
"Let’s go quickly, Yanan should be waking up."
Lin Zhenxin tugged Xiang Xiaokui, clutching the bunch of lotus flowers as they jogged back the way they came...
Lin Zhenxin asked the hostess for a vase.
When the hostess heard that the lotus flowers were a gift from Master Zhi Hai, she quickly found the best vase from storage.
This also made Lin Zhenxin suddenly realize how highly Master Zhi Hai was regarded in everyone’s hearts.
As she entered the room, Li Yanan was changing his bandages.
He was leaning against the headboard, bare-chested, and greeted her with a slight squint of his beautiful peach blossom eyes as she came in.
Lin Zhenxin walked over herself, with Xiang Xiaokui following her in from outside.
She was chattering happily beside Lin Zhenxin, talking non-stop.
It turned out that the girl next door had been proposed to.
Xiang Xiaokui covered her face with her hands, bashful and envious, while Lin Zhenxin remained calm, prompting Li Yanan to glance at her twice.
Suddenly, a hint of discomfort arose in his heart.
After the bandage change, Xiang Xiaokui ran out again, leaving only Lin Zhenxin and Li Yanan in the room.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Zhenxin smiled.
"Someone gave you flowers?" Little Kui accidentally mentioned it earlier.
"It’s not what you think."
Lin Zhenxin was quite eager to explain, but when the words were about to leave her mouth, she still didn’t say them.
"I don’t like it." Li Yanan sulked a bit.
Lin Zhenxin chuckled and pretended not to hear.
"Hmm, I’d rather you gave me those two pots of cherry tomatoes."
Li Yanan’s expression lightened somewhat at this, but he still reached out, gently rubbing the bruises around her wrist.
The color had faded some, but it still hung annoyingly on her pale, soft wrist.
Lost in thought, Li Yanan brought her soft palm to his lips, grazing it back and forth.
His gaze, however, fell on the red string around her neck.
"What’s that?" Li Yanan asked.
Lin Zhenxin used her other hand to pull out the triangular amulet.
"Zhi Hai gave it to me, said it could ward off calamity." After saying that, Lin Zhenxin wanted to take it off and put it on him.
Yet, halfway through, Li Yanan stopped her.
"You wear it, don’t take it off." Saying that, he put it back on for her.
"I want to kiss you." Li Yanan suddenly said.
Lin Zhenxin was first taken aback, then leaned forward, allowing him to wrap his arm around her.
"I haven’t properly proposed to you yet." Li Yanan added.
"Why bring this up all of a sudden?" If truth be told, it was she who had proposed to him first.
In the next second, Lin Zhenxin felt a sharp pull on her wrist and stumbled onto the bed.
She opened her eyes wide in fear, terrified of accidentally hurting his wound.
"No, you’re still injured..." Lin Zhenxin pushed him.
Li Yanan, of course, knew it wasn’t possible, but he found it hard to let go of her.
Ever since he experienced indulgence, he had never exercised restraint in such matters.
Even when Lin Zhenxin complained about him being too tireless, he did not hold back in the slightest.
He liked her, he wanted to sleep with her.
No one compared to her.
This was Li Yanan’s most straightforward feeling.
People are instinctual beings, and he didn’t hide this in the least.
Li Yanan thought for a moment, then whispered something indistinctly in her ear.
The next instant, Lin Zhenxin glared at him fiercely.
"Zhenxin..." Li Yanan looked at her from the head of the bed.
Lin Zhenxin just felt her heart burn with unspeakable shyness.
In the end, she still got up and locked the door, then...
Returned to his side.
Doing what he wanted her to do...
Wall Street, New York, USA.
The headquarters of He Group now stood tall here.
And the name Susan He had also become widely known in this land of Wall Street.
At this moment, sitting in her office after just hearing a subordinate’s report, Susan He wore a slightly cold expression.
The subordinate felt tense.
Knowing how challenging it had been for Susan He to reach her current position on her own!
Moreover, after her husband’s passing, she had steadily gained control over He Group through planning and decisive actions...
Her capabilities were undoubtedly exceptional.
Before Susan He could speak, her phone rang first.
She waved her hand, signaling the subordinate to leave, who sighed with relief and quickly exited.
The call was from He Nuoxin’s villa landline number.
Susan He’s stern face finally showed some warmth.
She had deep affection for her niece, particularly after learning about her suffering under her stepmother’s abuse.
"Hello..."
In the next moment, her face changed drastically!
Li Yanan looked at Lin Zhenxin, who lay weakly in his arms, with a satisfied expression.
An hour had somehow passed.
Throughout, Lin Zhenxin remained on high alert, fearful that someone would enter.
Although... she knew she had locked the door.
Doing something naughty always leaves an indescribable sense of guilt.
He twirled her soft, boneless little hand, while a curve of his lips made Lin Zhenxin roll her eyes in playful exasperation.
"You’ve corrupted me." Lin Zhenxin grabbed a tissue from the bedside table, wiped her hand, then looked back at Li Yanan.
"Hmm, next time I’ll teach you a few more tricks." Li Yanan didn’t deny it; instead, he readily agreed.
Lin Zhenxin’s face turned beet red.
"You’re so filthy!"
She turned to get out of bed, but Li Yanan, having anticipated her move, deliberately held her down with his leg.
"Who’s filthy, hmm?" Li Yanan’s last word struck Lin Zhenxin as unbearably sexy.
"You, you’re filthy!" Lin Zhenxin raised her neck defiantly.
"Today, I am filthy." Li Yanan said, giving her a light pinch.
Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but laugh with a muffled snort.
Seeing her laugh, Li Yanan laughed too, his peach blossom eyes curved in a beautiful arc.
"I’ve been considering something."
Li Yanan looked at her and spoke with great seriousness.
"Hmm? What is it?" Lin Zhenxin answered absentmindedly, feeling a faint fishy scent in her hand.
She wondered if she should wash her hands.
"To give you a proper wedding..."
As soon as Li Yanan spoke, Lin Zhenxin froze, all her movements coming to a halt, leaving her speechless.
She lifted her head and just met his gaze directly.
