My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 118 - 117: Smash Hard 1

"Underground parking lot," Xun Chen replied irritably.

"Miss Lin, there are some things I’ve wanted to say to you." As if he thought of something, Xun Chen glanced at Yao Lemon.

Yao Lemon wisely stepped aside, but she was still in shock from the store brawl.

"I’ve known Li Yanan for many years..."

The destruction brought by Xun Chen’s people was astonishing, and soon the luxuriously decorated store was in shambles.

Gu Yaoyao and her mother were surrounded in the middle, eyes wide with panic, unable to move, their expressions laughably ridiculous.

"People who don’t know him often think he’s silent and easy to bully..."

"But in reality, he’s like a dormant beast that could take a bite out of anyone at any moment!"

Xun Chen said this without looking at Lin Zhenxin, as if he were speaking to the air.

"His personality is domineering, and his methods are ruthless. The traditional virtues of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame mean nothing to him."

"I think, during this time, you might have sensed it."

Lin Zhenxin didn’t speak; the Li Yanan that Xun Chen described was like that.

"But..."

Suddenly, Xun Chen’s tone shifted as his sharp gaze finally landed on Lin Zhenxin’s face.

"For the first time in my life, I saw hesitation and anxiety on his face. Do you know when?"

Lin Zhenxin’s heart sank.

"When you didn’t answer his calls."

"He did all those things to vent your anger, but you reacted like this. To be honest, Miss Lin, I feel you’re not worthy of him!"

What Xun Chen said was extremely hurtful, and combined with his gaze, it was overwhelmingly potent.

Lin Zhenxin was suddenly stung by his words, lips tightly pressed.

"The orthodox education you received makes it impossible to accept a man who acts unorthodoxly, but this is exactly the kind of man who uses every means to protect you!" Xun Chen had just finished speaking when Lin Zhenxin abruptly stood up!

"Yes, the education I received taught me that black is black and white is white, and that if you do something wrong, there are consequences!"

In her agitation, her chest heaved violently, and even her sickly pale cheeks were flushed with red.

"Lawyer Xun, but this doesn’t mean I can’t accept him! How dare you..."

"How dare you deny my feelings?"

"How dare you use your subjective judgment to deny me?"

Yao Lemon, standing not far away, saw the two seemed to be quarreling and felt a bit anxious!

Xun Chen looked down at that small angry red face, silent for a long time.

"Lawyer Xun, with all due respect, in matters of the heart, whether others think you’re worthy or not is really not important at all!"

Lin Zhenxin forced down her emotions, her throat burning, feeling wronged, yet unable to argue with Xun Chen.

Taking a deep breath, she worked hard to calm herself.

Her gaze fell on the black shirt she had admired before, and she walked over to take it down.

"I’ll pay." Lin Zhenxin said this to the sales clerk hiding under the counter.

Yao Lemon found it both amusing and exasperating that even at a time like this, Lin Zhenxin didn’t forget to buy that shirt for Li Yanan.

Xun Chen didn’t expect Lin Zhenxin to be so unpredictable.

Honestly, he had to admit that he was somewhat annoyed by Yanan treating him like a workhorse these past few days, but mostly he was unhappy that Lin Zhenxin didn’t answer Li Yanan’s calls, causing chaos!

The sales clerk, hands trembling, finally completed the transaction, looking at Lin Zhenxin with terror in her eyes!

Lin Zhenxin, on the other hand, said nothing else, carrying the shopping bag towards Yao Lemon.

"I’ll just take a cab back myself, don’t worry about me." Yao Lemon quickly said, god knew she heard that Li Yanan was waiting in the underground parking lot.

Lin Zhenxin nodded, then walked out of the store without looking back at Xun Chen.

The people at the door didn’t stop her when they saw her leaving.

Once Lin Zhenxin left, Xun Chen finally told those people to stop.

He first coldly glanced back at the sales clerk standing by the counter.

"When you’re selling yourself, don’t have such high standards, or you’ll end up not knowing how you got here!"

Then he glanced at Gu Yaoyao and her mother.

"As for you, huh, go tell Director Gu that when you walk a path too smoothly, there might be a pit waiting to trip you up!"

Gu Yaoyao’s mother’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.

Was that a warning?

"Take care of yourself!"

As Xun Chen’s words fell, his gaze suddenly became sharp, cutting into Gu Yaoyao and her mother like a knife!

Casually glancing outside the store, his sharp eyes suddenly softened!

The petite figure carrying two shopping bags about to walk away, wasn’t that...

"Jiang Chengzhi, why are you running!"

Lin Zhenxin, carrying the shirt, found herself taking the elevator to the underground parking lot.

Though she knew Li Yanan was in the underground parking lot, the vast space had sections A, B, C, D, and E, and she regretted not asking clearly at the time.

Wandering aimlessly back and forth in the parking lot.

——For the first time in my life, I saw hesitation and anxiety on his face. Do you know when?

——When you didn’t answer his calls.

——He did all those things to vent your anger, but you reacted like this. To be honest, Miss Lin, I feel you’re not worthy of him!

——The orthodox education you received makes it impossible to accept a man who acts unorthodoxly, but this is exactly the kind of man who uses every means to protect you!

The things Xun Chen said replayed repeatedly in Lin Zhenxin’s mind.

Suddenly, she stopped walking, squatted on the ground, and said nothing, but felt sad.

If even Xun Chen said this, what about Li Yanan, who dialed her number time and again only to be rejected?

Did he also think she was ungrateful?

But that wasn’t what she meant at all, she was just worried...

She took out her phone, looking at those missed calls on the screen, and finally called back.

Almost instantly, the familiar ringtone sounded not far behind her.

In a daze, Lin Zhenxin turned around and saw that familiar tall figure, holding a phone, standing in a corner behind her.

She didn’t know how long he had been following her or how long he had been watching.

"I have no strength left..." Her soft voice seemed to be acting coquettishly towards him.

Soon, the man was walking towards her...

In the CEO’s office.

He Bainian was video conferencing with someone across the screen.

"Brother, I feel somewhat uneasy in my heart." A soft and pleasant voice came.

He Bainian’s facial lines softened at the sound.

"What’s there to be uneasy about."

"Have you seen Yanan? Did he mention me? Does he miss me?"

On the video, He Nuoxin, with long black hair and bright, large eyes, was stunningly beautiful.

"Hmm." Not knowing how to answer, he could only lightly brush over the topic.

He Nuoxin suddenly laughed as a servant beside her promptly handed over prepared medicine.

"Young master, please persuade Miss, it’s been days since she took her medicine."

The speaker was an old servant of the He family, naturally extra concerned for the siblings.

Hearing this, He Bainian’s face immediately turned cold, silently looking at He Nuoxin.

He Nuoxin timidly stretched out her hand, honestly taking the medicine from the servant and swallowing it in one go, without even drinking water.

"Brother, I promise to take my medicine on time every day, so when... can I go back?"

"In a while." At least, not now.

After ending the video, He Bainian leaned back on the leather chair, pressing his fingertips against his temples.

The face of Lin Zhenxin, flushed like rouge due to a fever, resurfaced in his mind...

Furrowing his brow tightly, he forced himself not to think...

Li Yanan approached Lin Zhenxin.

A large shadow enveloped the small figure squatting on the ground.

Lin Zhenxin looked up at him; his facial features were sharp, his simple white shirt paired with black suit pants, sleeves rolled up to reveal slender forearms.

It was still the man she knew.

Yet somehow, not quite the man she knew.

His eyes held hesitation and unease, lacking the decisiveness and sharpness of the past.

Then Lin Zhenxin saw Li Yanan crouch down in front of her, facing her.

Li Yanan’s throat moved, as if he wanted to speak. freewebnøvel.coɱ

In fact, from the moment Lin Zhenxin left the store, Xun Chen had texted him.

He drove his car to the spot closest to the elevator entrance, and shortly after, he saw her figure appear.

However, he didn’t call out to her.

Instead, he silently followed her with his phone until the call in his hand rang.

Lin Zhenxin blinked, looking at the man so close to her.

"You clearly came, so why didn’t you come up yourself and had Xun Chen do it?"

"You didn’t want to see me for the time being," Li Yanan said.

Lin Zhenxin felt a pang in her heart, he saw through her too clearly, making it impossible to say any false words.

Because he knew it was a lie, and didn’t say more.

"How did you find me?" Ever since she left home, she hadn’t answered the phone, so how did he find her?

"As long as I want to, I can find you wherever you go."

Li Yanan remained silent for a moment before finally replying.

Neither spoke further, just looking at each other.

Li Yanan reached out his hand toward Lin Zhenxin, not daring to really touch her, just testing the waters with his fingertip against hers.

Seeing that she had no aversive reaction to shake it off, he increased the contact a tad more.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Lin Zhenxin reversed and held Li Yanan’s big hand.

It was bone-chillingly cold; she couldn’t tell how long Li Yanan had been following her, with not a trace of warmth.

Those peach blossom eyes widened, trying hard to withstand emotion and act indifferent.

For a moment, his expression became awkward.

Suddenly, a grumbling sound, muffled, was heard.

Lin Zhenxin looked at Li Yanan in surprise and then burst into laughter, while Li Yanan still tried to maintain his composure, pretending...

The noise of hunger had nothing to do with him.

"The fourth floor is a food court, let’s eat something before heading back," Lin Zhenxin said.

As Lin Zhenxin stood up, she felt dizzy from lack of blood flow to the brain, staggering a step or two.

Almost instantly, she was embraced by Li Yanan.

Smelling the familiar crisp scent, Lin Zhenxin’s turbulent heart finally found its direction, and even that bit of grievance disappeared.
