My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 121 - 119: Smash Hard 3_2

"Even knowing I married you for money? That I have no feelings for you?"

The sharpness of the question froze Tu Haohao’s smile instantly, and even her flushed cheeks gradually faded.

"If it helps you through this crisis, I’m willing."

Tu Haohao responded softly, her gaze resting on his blood-dripping large hand.

"You’re hurt?" She suddenly stood up, her cashmere shawl slipping off onto the sofa.

Then she hurriedly fumbled for things to carefully tend to his wound.

"Do you think you’re a savior? Sacrificing yourself to save me?" Li Chengze mocked with a cold sneer, feeling deeply repulsed.

Tu Haohao acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing, merely holding his large hand, gently blowing on it while cleaning the blood away.

For a moment, the cozy room was eerily silent.

Li Chengze looked down at Tu Haohao, but unexpectedly, a distant memory flashed in his mind.

The girl who secretly liked him but stubbornly refused to admit it, the one who quietly placed a bottle of orange soda into his desk every day...

The chubby girl who, even when messed with by his pranks, still smiled like sunshine.

It’s laughable to think that she was his first kiss!

Lost in thoughts, Li Chengze remained speechless until Tu Haohao finished tending to his wound entirely.

"Brother Cheng Ze, you should stop drinking so much! The health I long for is squandered by you; it’s truly irresponsible!" Tu Haohao said with a smile.

The sunlight dyed her black hair amber, casting a glowing halo...

And in that moment, Li Chengze found her face overlapping with that of the chubby girl...

It dawned on him that she was the only friend he’d cherished in his entire youth.

Tu Haohao seemed oblivious to the turmoil and frustration within Li Chengze, just smiling at him.

Suddenly, without warning, Li Chengze leaned forward, and Tu Haohao’s eyes widened.

For her, time seemed to stand still in that instant.

He was experienced and seasoned, whereas Tu Haohao appeared incredibly naive.

They formed an unmistakably stark contrast!

She even forgot to breathe, merely watching his face grow infinitely larger before her.

From start to finish, Tu Haohao was dumbfounded, without any resistance.

Until a sarcastic chuckle rang beside her ear, pulling her back to reality.

"Your body is frailer than any woman I’ve been with!"

The next second, Li Chengze pushed Tu Haohao away, abruptly standing up and walking out of the ward!

Only upon reaching the door did he suddenly turn around, looking at Tu Haohao still kneeling on the floor.

"You said it, you’re willing!"

With those words, Li Chengze exited the room.

Tu Haohao, sitting on the floor, finally began to understand the meaning behind Li Chengze’s last words as realization dawned on her.

Is he willing to marry her?

Tu Haohao was at a loss, filled with a mix of excitement and bitterness...

Leaning against the ward door, Li Chengze’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed the mix of alcohol and her faint orange scent!

In that moment earlier, his heartbeat had, unexpectedly, been disordered...

Just now, did he actually think Tu Haohao resembled Juzi?

Was he drunk or perhaps going mad?

He forced a calm, sardonic smile at the corners of his lips.

Yet he was unsure if the sarcasm was directed at Tu Haohao or himself...

Lin Zhenxin and Li Yanan didn’t return to the villa but went straight home.

Aunt Xu was particularly pleased to see Lin Zhenxin back and immediately took her grandmother out to buy groceries after tidying up.

Lin Zhenxin remembered she hadn’t taken in the clothes left on the balcony a few days ago and went out there.

She had already decided to submit the resignation letter she prepared at work tomorrow; she had hesitated before due to being reluctant to leave the night shift environment, but now, it seemed Xiao Shen had also played a part in pushing her latest news forward.

She couldn’t just ignore it.

As she pondered, her phone rang, and without checking the caller ID, she answered.

"Hello?"

There was a long silence before the other person spoke, prompting Lin Zhenxin to glance at the screen.

It was He Bainian’s number?

"Are you feeling better?" After a long pause, she finally heard He Bainian’s voice.

How did he know she was sick?

"That day, Li Yanan took you from my place..."

"Wait a minute, what do you mean he took me from your place? When did I go to your place?"

As soon as Lin Zhenxin finished speaking, there was silence again from He Bainian’s side.

Currently, in the CEO’s office, He Bainian leaned against an expansive floor-to-ceiling glass spanning three-quarters of the room.

His reflection showed a bitter smile at the corner of his lips.

Lin Zhenxin, hearing no response, felt uncertain, and a vague memory began to surface in her mind.

It was blurred and didn’t form a clear picture.

"You have no memory of it?" When He Bainian asked this question, he couldn’t describe the feeling within him.

For a moment, Lin Zhenxin didn’t know how to respond, whether she should say yes or no.

Those blurry memories couldn’t piece together a complete picture, let alone include He Bainian...

"I’m sorry." She awkwardly replied.

Instantly, the conversation became awkward again.

"I even made you porridge..."

He Bainian couldn’t discern whether he felt more aggrieved or sorrowful when he said this.

"..." Lin Zhenxin genuinely didn’t know how to reply.

And He Bainian, on the other end, also felt the awkward vibe between them, initially thinking that after that incident, things might somewhat ease between them, but unexpectedly, she had no memory at all!

"How about I treat you to dinner?" Perhaps due to the awkwardness, the words slipped out.

"..." This time, it was He Bainian who remained silent for quite a while.

"Uh... If you find it presumptuous, sorry!"

Lin Zhenxin felt perhaps her suggestion was too casual and hurriedly added another sentence.

"I’m free tomorrow evening, come to my office, it’s settled then!"

Without waiting for any response from Lin Zhenxin, he hung up directly.

Lin Zhenxin’s eyes widened, not expecting He Bainian to abruptly hang up like that, leaving no room for refusal!

Looking down at her phone, she felt rather bewildered.

Does it mean she really has to have dinner with He Bainian tomorrow evening?

The most pressing issue was, how was she going to explain this to Li Yanan?

As she thought about it, she gathered the last of the clothes and turned to go inside.

But as she turned, she almost jumped at the tall figure leaning beside the balcony door.

He was still wearing the black shirt she had bought for him, his dark eyes watching her!

When did Li Yanan stand there?

And how much had he heard?
