My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 194 - 186: Meeting the Best Version of Myself 3
Chapter 194: Chapter 186: Meeting the Best Version of Myself 3
He Bainian had once considered bringing the two of them together as a couple.
But when he proposed the idea to Li Yanan, he was directly rejected.
Li Yanan even deliberately distanced himself from He Nuoxin.
Until that remittance slip...
It vaguely made He Bainian realize something.
But Nuoxin never wanted to give up, even after Li Yanan returned to the country...
Both of them knew about his awkward status in the Li Family, yet it couldn’t wake Nuoxin up.
She even claimed to the outside world that she was his fiancée, solely on her own side.
If it weren’t for that incident that happened later...
He Bainian’s eyes were deep with thought, and Lin Zhenxin’s indifferent little face popped into his mind.
Tonight, even when facing Nuoxin, she showed no panic.
Perhaps he should have noticed earlier that Lin Zhenxin was no longer the simple woman he met when he first returned to J City.
She had begun to truly shine.
Due to Li Yanan’s influence, the strength and stubbornness buried in Lin Zhenxin’s bones erupted.
Yet ironically, tonight, he made a most wrong move.
Perhaps it would have been better if he had taken Nuoxin away at the time, rather than letting everyone fall into an awkward situation later.
"Brother, help me. Brother Yannan has feelings for me, you know that, don’t you..."
He Nuoxin’s voice was frantic as she tightly clutched He Bainian’s arm, full of expectation.
He Bainian looked at her, his brows tightly knitted...
"Are you cold?" Li Yanan looked at Lin Zhenxin beside him.
She shook her head, tightly interlocking fingers with Li Yanan, whose dry, large hand was very warm.
The weather in J City was getting colder and colder, even speaking would bring out white mist.
"You said you wanted to drive to Yunjing, but you insisted on walking."
Li Yanan held her with one hand, his black cashmere coat and handsome cold face attracting the gazes of many women.
"Once we cross this street, we’ll be there. It’s very close." Lin Zhenxin looked up and smiled happily.
Li Yanan didn’t respond, he just moved her to his right side, away from the side close to the road.
"There are many people, hold my hand tightly, don’t get lost."
Li Yanan cautiously drew Lin Zhenxin closer once again.
Perhaps because it was the holiday season, the number of pedestrians on the street had doubled compared to normal days.
"Why do I feel like the way you’re speaking to me is as if you’re coaxing a child?"
Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but complain.
Li Yanan glanced at her when he heard this, his deep gaze sinking.
The next second, Lin Zhenxin only felt him release her hand and hook her waist to pull her into his embrace.
"Do I treat you like a child or not? Don’t you know best at night?"
He lowered his voice intentionally, speaking close to Lin Zhenxin’s ear.
When Lin Zhenxin understood, her face suddenly turned red, and she reached out to push him twice, but didn’t manage to push him away.
"I want to eat that." Lin Zhenxin pointed to a stall selling cotton candy on the street, her eyes very bright.
"No, it’s not sanitary."
Li Yanan refused without even thinking.
Lin Zhenxin quickly walked two steps forward, reaching out to hug Li Yanan’s arm.
"Just this once." Her voice was soft and coquettish.
Li Yanan looked down at the expectant little face, the tip of her nose reddened by the cold.
"Please." As she spoke, she swayed his arm.
Li Yanan said nothing, only changed direction with his steps, and went to the stall to get one.
Behind him, Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but smirk.
Soon, Li Yanan returned with a cotton candy that didn’t match his identity at all, standing tall.
However, Li Yanan deliberately held it high so Lin Zhenxin couldn’t easily reach it.
"Want a bite?" Li Yanan raised an eyebrow, looking at her, his eyes full of amusement.
Lin Zhenxin didn’t know what he was thinking.
"Say something I want to hear, and I’ll give it to you." Li Yanan’s lips curved slightly, clearly tempting her.
"What do you want to hear?"
The height difference between them was significant, and Lin Zhenxin felt her neck starting to ache.
"Guess?" His smile widened.
This scene was so endearing that even passersby unconsciously slowed down to look at them.
"I can’t guess!" Heaven knows what he wants to hear.
"Then no candy for you."
"You’re bullying me!" Lin Zhenxin protested.
Li Yanan heard this and glanced at Lin Zhenxin expressionlessly.
"I prefer the kind of ’bullying’ that happens when we get home at night!"
Lin Zhenxin’s face flushed deeply, her eyes widening.
"Then bend over." Lin Zhenxin gestured for him to lean down.
Li Yanan thought for a moment, bent slightly, and brought his face close, his thick lashes falling into Lin Zhenxin’s eyes.
Demon!
At this moment, those words flashed in Lin Zhenxin’s heart once more.
Only a look from the side at the schoolgirl-like young girls, sneaking looks at Li Yanan and then whispering among themselves...
Made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Especially since those young girls looked as if they were in love.
"Uncle, how can we explain this to Aunt?"
Lin Zhenxin suppressed her laughter, pretending not to see the shocked expressions of the young girls nearby.
As for Li Yanan, he maintained his posture, his expression instantly freezing.
Lin Zhenxin took the chance to snatch the cotton candy, worried about him settling scores later, and quickly walked ahead.
After walking a distance, she finally couldn’t hold back and laughed aloud.
"Funny?" A deep voice came from above her.
Lin Zhenxin, startled, turned around to look but kept stepping back.
If it weren’t for Li Yanan’s quick reflexes to hold her waist, Lin Zhenxin would definitely have fallen.
Gone was her previous bravado, Lin Zhenxin obediently hung her head, ready to face his scolding.
She didn’t know how much time had passed.
Then she heard the stifled laughter of the man opposite her.
Unbelieving, she lifted her head to meet his gaze.
Those captivating eyes, filled with laughter, mirrored the growing arc at his lips.
Seeing Li Yanan laugh, Lin Zhenxin also couldn’t help but smile.
There they stood, in the middle of the road, laughing freely like two children...
"Li Chengze, where are you going?"
Tu Haohao, sitting in the front passenger seat, nervously clutched her seatbelt.
After the He siblings left, Li Chengze headed straight to the car park and took out his car.
Afraid something might happen to him, regardless of his feelings, she opened the door and sat in the front seat.
Li Chengze didn’t even glance at her, stepped on the gas, and raced off.
Seeing him speed recklessly, she felt on edge.
"Li Chengze!" Tu Haohao’s delicate fingers began to turn white at the knuckles.
Li Chengze’s eyes were malevolent, staring ahead as if flames burned in his gaze.
Hearing Tu Haohao’s voice, either by intention or not, he slammed the pedal to the floor.
The engine roared to life.
The force pinned Tu Haohao’s back to the leather seat, her heart racing.
In no time, they reached Li Chengze’s destination.
The riotous lights of the bar street dazzled, and Li Chengze casually parked at the roadside, exiting the car.
"Li Chengze!" Despite feeling unwell, Tu Haohao unbuckled her seatbelt and got out, blocking his way.
"Tu Haohao, why do you keep following me around?"
Li Chengze finally fixed his gaze on her face, his expression dark and sinister.
"You still have to drive, don’t drink." She reached out to grasp his wrist.
Though it was winter, Li Chengze had left the house wearing just a shirt.
"Tu Haohao, you’re really annoying, you know that?"
Li Chengze tried to push her aside.
"I know a great place to drink, come with me."
Tu Haohao disliked how Li Chengze always came to the bar when upset, especially when he had to drive.
Li Chengze’s eyes were stormy, looking deeply into Tu Haohao.
She had rushed out so quickly that she forgot to wear a coat, standing there shivering in just a shirt and sweater.
"Is that okay?"
In her clear amber eyes, Li Chengze could clearly see his own reflection.
For reasons unknown, meeting her gaze dissipated much of the frustration in his chest.
She was indeed annoying.
He knew this.
However...
At this moment, Li Chengze had no desire to be alone, lost in a haze of alcohol... fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Li Yanan took a phone call, and the Lin Zhenxin who was by his side vanished without a trace.
His gaze immediately turned anxious.
"Are you looking for me?" Lin Zhenxin’s voice came from behind.
Li Yanan quickly turned, seeing her with an additional black scarf wrapped around her neck, covering most of her face.
"Just bought it, it’s cold." Lin Zhenxin shivered slightly, regretting her decision to walk to Yunjing.
"I also bought you a pair of gloves."
Black leather ones, with a warm interior.
Li Yanan looked down at her, proudly showing the gloves to him.
Her nose was red from the cold, her eyes sparkled like stars.
"Let’s wear them together." With those words, Li Yanan slipped one glove onto her cold little hand.
"How can two people share one pair?" Lin Zhenxin tried to evade, but Li Yanan wouldn’t allow it.
Each wore a glove.
And the hands that were left bare...
Lin Zhenxin looked down at Li Yanan...
Instinctively reaching for him, Li Yanan naturally held her hand and tucked it into his coat pocket.
Lin Zhenxin chuckled, nuzzling close into his embrace.
As if they’d practiced this a hundred times over.
Fortunately, after crossing one street, Yunjing quickly came into their view.
"What do you want to eat?"
The two chatted as they entered Yunjing Restaurant.
Seeing Li Yanan, the duty manager quickly became tense, but tried hard not to let anyone notice.
Respectfully, he nodded at Li Yanan.
Lin Zhenxin focused all her attention on Li Yanan, naturally missing this detail.
Li Yanan inconspicuously nodded to the duty manager and continued walking with Lin Zhenxin.
Before Lin Zhenxin could speak, a strong force suddenly bumped into her.
If it weren’t for Li Yanan’s quick reflexes to hold her, Lin Zhenxin would have been in an embarrassing situation.
"Excuse me..." The other party hastily tried to apologize, but when their eyes met, both were taken aback.
Lin Zhenxin never expected to encounter her...
Tu Haohao led Li Chengze to an old Republican-style house in the alley behind the bar street.
