My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 13 Having a Family and a Home

"Xinxin, what did you buy?" Grandma saw her return and immediately dropped the garlic in her hands and ran over.

Lin Zhenxin thought to herself, oh no, she knew Grandma too well; if she didn't find out everything, she'd pester you all day long.

"Just some medicine." Before she could finish, Grandma had already grabbed the plastic bag, causing its contents to spill all over the floor with a dull thud.

Li Yanan happened to walk over, only to see a box wrapped in cellophane drop onto his foot.

Bending down to pick it up, his movements visibly paused.

Lin Zhenxin, who had failed in her battle of wits with Grandma, hadn't noticed this yet; instead, she was smeared with the garlicky scent from Grandma's hands all over her face.

When she finally saw what Li Yanan was holding, her head buzzed, and she flushed crimson immediately.

"Um..." Would he think she was too bold?

Lin Zhenxin couldn't help but overthink; after all, even getting married was something she had brought up first.

Would he think she was too forward?

While she was wrestling with her thoughts, Li Yanan simply, with a blank expression, stuffed the item into his suit pants pocket, then lifted his head to look at her. At the moment their eyes met, Lin Zhenxin still felt uneasy.

"Let's eat." Unexpectedly, Li Yanan only said these three words in a deep voice.

Far from feeling dramatic, Lin Zhenxin only felt a sense of relief, as if she'd been granted a reprieve after serving a sentence.

"Oh, okay." She nodded, pulling Grandma to wash her hands, when a voice came from behind.

"Size doesn't fit." Before Lin Zhenxin could react, he added.

"It's small."

"..."

Li Yanan's cooking was excellent, which surprised Lin Zhenxin.

Clearly, Li Yanan noticed this too when Lin Zhenxin looked up at him after taking her first bite.

"I suddenly feel like I've somehow gained from this." This was a heartfelt sentiment from Lin Zhenxin.

Li Yanan didn't respond, but Grandma cooperatively gave a thumbs up and then picked up another piece of egg.

"When you were in school, you must have done really well, right?" She tried to make small talk to ease the earlier awkwardness.

"Implying that ugly people have to read more books?" Li Yanan finally spoke, yet it left Lin Zhenxin speechless.

Of course... she didn't mean that!

Lin Zhenxin decided it was best to just keep her head down and eat. By staying silent, the only thing left at the dining table was silence.

"What about you?"

After a while, Lin Zhenxin heard Li Yanan's voice and looked up.

"Hmm?" About what?

"When you were in school..." Li Yanan hadn't finished, when Grandma interrupted.

"Xinxin is smart... did very well... top of the class... first in grade... but didn't finish college..."

A few scattered words left Lin Zhenxin silent for a long moment.

As Grandma spoke, her voice grew softer, and at some point, tears started rolling down like those of a child.

Li Yanan glanced at her, didn't finish college?

But clearly, Lin Zhenxin didn't want to explain much about this. She just reached out to wipe the tears off Grandma's face, then served her two more pieces of egg, saying nothing.

After the meal, Lin Zhenxin stacked the empty bowls and plates and carried them to the kitchen.

She couldn't cook, but she could at least wash the dishes.

"Your phone's ringing." Before long, Li Yanan came in with her phone.

"My hands are still wet, can you answer it for me..." Lin Zhenxin said, and the phone, which had been answered, was already placed by her ear.
