My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 132 - 130 Sorry 2
Chapter 132: Chapter 130 Sorry 2
Lin Zhenxin casually used the remote to turn on both the air conditioner and the floor heating, finally letting out a temporary sigh of relief.
"Get on the bed." She pulled him to the side of the bed. Fortunately, although Li Yanan remained silent, he did not show any intent to forcefully refuse.
When Lin Zhenxin returned with the hairdryer, she found Li Yanan still standing in the same position, staring intently at her as she approached.
"Get on!" Lin Zhenxin was truly anxious and reached out to pull him onto the bed, wrapping him completely in the blanket with only his head exposed.
As for her, she knelt beside him, turned on the hairdryer, and began drying his hair.
"You can scold me, hit me, whatever you want, but don’t ever do something like this again!"
Li Yanan’s hair was soft like a child’s, and Lin Zhenxin’s hands weaved through his jet-black strands, trying to dry them faster.
He didn’t speak, wrapped under the thin blanket, naked, exuding a coldness devoid of human warmth.
Tears rolled down Lin Zhenxin’s cheeks, dripping onto Li Yanan’s chest exposed outside the thin blanket.
"You feel sorry for me?" His deep, husky voice finally spoke.
"If you really felt sorry for me, then why did you last night..." Li Yanan hadn’t finished his sentence when Lin Zhenxin bent down to cover his mouth.
Her kiss was gentle, filled with remorse and guilt, along with other unexplainable emotions.
Suddenly, Li Yanan pushed Lin Zhenxin away. Lin Zhenxin, stubborn, propped herself up again to move closer, but Li Yanan turned his face away, causing the kiss to land on his cheek...
He wasn’t planning on forgiving himself.
When this thought arose in Lin Zhenxin’s mind, a sense of grievance and sorrow filled her heart, similar to how she felt when he forced her out of the car the previous night.
"What happened last night will never happen again, I promise."
Lin Zhenxin said softly, but in contrast, Li Yanan just pressed his lips together, saying nothing, his expression serious.
"He Bainian is more distinguished than me, backed by the He Family, with superior looks and physique. Compared to him, what am I?"
Li Yanan’s lips curved in a cold smile. Lin Zhenxin didn’t expect him to say such words, and it clogged her heart painfully.
Was he speaking out of spite? Or did he really feel inferior to He Bainian deep down?
"Now that he has become your benefactor, how do you balance us in your heart, are you sure you’ll choose me?"
For the first time since they got married, Lin Zhenxin heard Li Yanan speak to her in such a sinister tone.
"And what about He Nuoxin? If you put me and her on two sides of your balance, are you sure you’d still choose me?"
Lin Zhenxin’s eyes brimmed with tears as she asked him.
Li Yanan’s expression clearly faltered, seemingly confused about why the topic shifted to He Nuoxin?
"This ring, did you originally intend to give it to her?" Lin Zhenxin slid the ring off her finger, holding it in her hand, and looked at him.
"A lifetime of love, the meaning of this ring, symbolizing your feelings for He Nuoxin?"
Lin Zhenxin’s heart felt like it had a thorn in it, ever since last night when He Bainian mentioned He Nuoxin’s multiple suicide attempts, it had been aching faintly!
Li Yanan’s features turned stern and cold in an instant, his falcon-like sharp eyes gazing at her.
He knew Zhenxin too well, so much so that he could sense other things she didn’t want to mention through her voice and expressions!
"What did He Bainian say to you last night?" Li Yanan’s suppressed emotions overflowed in his eyes, nowhere to hide!
Perhaps Li Yanan’s reaction was too intense, causing Lin Zhenxin to feel a bit intimidated. She had seen how he treated others when angered, and although she knew he would never harm her, her hands couldn’t help but go weak.
"Speak!" The almost shouting voice made Lin Zhenxin instinctively shrink her shoulders.
"He said you toyed with... He Nuoxin’s feelings and... caused her to attempt suicide... severe depression!"
Even though Li Yanan lay bare under the thin blanket, the kingly aura he projected did not diminish in the slightest.
"So you believed it?" Li Yanan’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
"I asked if you believed it!"
"I don’t know!" Under his relentless pressure, Lin Zhenxin finally spoke.
But the next second, she was already pinned to the bed by Li Yanan with lightning speed, even breathing became momentarily difficult.
Lin Zhenxin hadn’t recovered from her dizziness before seeing Li Yanan leaning down!
"No!" In panic, Lin Zhenxin instinctively closed her eyes!
After a while, seeing Li Yanan make no excessive moves, she slowly opened her eyes, and found her gaze locked with a pair of deep eyes.
Li Yanan propped his strong arms on either side of Lin Zhenxin, his face so close that their breaths almost intertwined.
Holding her breath, Lin Zhenxin dared not move, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
The hands clenched tightly at her sides due to nervousness slowly relaxed, embracing him, soothing his icy spine.
"Even when I’m angry, I can’t bear to touch you, Zhenxin, don’t you know how sad I am that you don’t believe me?"
Li Yanan let out a bitter smile, his hands that had been supporting himself on either side of her seemed about to push away when Lin Zhenxin, sensing it, instinctively tightened her hold on his back, pulling him back in.
Perhaps caught off guard, Li Yanan heavily fell onto her.
Lin Zhenxin muttered a pained groan but made no attempt to release him, instead threading her arms through his armpits, holding him tightly to her chest.
"Don’t move!" Lin Zhenxin knew that if he was determined to push her away, she had no strength at all to resist!
Sure enough, Li Yanan didn’t move.
"I don’t like He Bainian, there’s no so-called balance in my heart. No matter what, I’ll always stand by you, not him!"
Lin Zhenxin whispered, kissing his brow, nose, and lips, as if to soothe him.
"In my heart, you’re the best. There’s no need for you... to compare and weigh against anyone else!"
"Last night was my fault. I lied to you because I was afraid you’d be angry, but I didn’t expect it to lead to this kind of consequence, yet it doesn’t mean I don’t care about you! Do you understand?" Lin Zhenxin murmured pensively, with so much she wanted to tell him but didn’t know where to start.
"Today, are you trying to make me extremely upset?"
Li Yanan buried his face in the crook of her neck, seeming almost asleep if not for his hot breaths.
"I’ve been spoiled by you to the point I forgot boundaries, but I’m not some pet cat or dog of yours, you can’t just take back your feelings. Last night... last night you frightened me! So much so I didn’t dare come home, afraid you’d throw me out again."
Holding Li Yanan’s shoulders, Lin Zhenxin cried uncontrollably, her night’s worth of grievances and sadness pouring out at that moment.
Li Yanan lifted his head, his dark eyes looked at her tear-stained face.
"How could I possibly throw you out?" he said.
"But I’m scared! You’ve already thrown me out of the car!" Lin Zhenxin submitted to him in grievance.
"I know better than anyone that I’m not the best. My personality is bad, and I always cause trouble for you to clean up. In the eyes of those who know my true nature, I’m not worthy of you. My place is merely a result of unexpectedly ending up married to you."
Li Yanan said nothing, he never knew that’s how Zhenxin saw it in her heart.
He thought it was he who wasn’t worthy of her, but she... she thought she wasn’t worthy of him?
"I was prepared for the worst yesterday, I thought you’d say we should divorce."
Her eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying, and hearing this, Li Yanan found it unfathomable.
Divorce? How could Zhenxin think it so severe?
"Li Yanan, I like you, can you, please, not like anyone else again?"
Holding onto his chest, Lin Zhenxin finally bravely uttered these words.
She really liked him, even more than just ’like’!
Even if the ring was originally meant for He Nuoxin, even if... He Nuoxin might return in the future...
It really didn’t matter anymore.
Truly, it didn’t matter...
’Among the Peach Blossoms’ is the most famous bar on J City’s bar street.
It’s also the favorite gathering place for J City’s wealthy heirs. During weekdays, Li Chengze and his childhood friends mingle here at night.
Li Chengze held a beautiful woman in his arms, seemingly absent-minded, frequently glancing towards the entrance of the bar.
"If she really comes, I’ll cut my head off for you to use as a stool!" freewёbnoνel.com
A childhood friend draped an arm over his shoulder. Truth be told, when Li Chengze told them Tu Haohao was coming to propose to him tonight, they all took it as a joke!
Who didn’t know that Tu Haohao had one foot already in the grave?
"Drink up!"
Even though Tu Haohao coming was impossible, there was still an inexplicable emptiness inside.
He downed a glass that a friend had handed him, and it wasn’t clear who started egging him on, suggesting he and the beauty beside him share a love drink.
Even though he hadn’t intended to initially, with everyone encouraging him, Li Chengze just laughed and went along.
He boldly extended his hand, creating a crossing gesture with the beauty, even deliberately spilling wine into her deep cleavage.
Suddenly, the seven or eight people sitting with Li Chengze fell silent, each exchanging glances.
After finishing his drink in one gulp, upon noticing the now quiet surrounding, one dared to point behind him as he looked over.
Instinctively turning his head, he found himself looking into a pair of innocent eyes.
Nobody expected Tu Haohao to actually come!
Li Chengze’s expression darkened, but Tu Haohao seemed not to notice the woman beside him, greeting him with a gentle smile.
The sight stirred something in Li Chengze’s friends.
Tu Haohao, in her white down jacket and furry white hat, distinctively different from other club girls, walked towards Li Chengze.
"Brother Cheng Ze." Her voice was soft and sweet, like sugar.
Li Chengze couldn’t precisely describe his feelings. Did she really come?
Did she really like him to such an extent?
"Yesterday, do your words still hold?" Tu Haohao seemed unbothered by the shocked expressions around, taking out a ring from her pocket.
"Would you be willing, after my surgery, to marry me?"
Her slender, fair fingers held the ring, her face adorned with a smile.
Li Chengze felt he must be going crazy, as his heart raced erratically.
Suddenly, he sneered, reaching out to swat the ring from Tu Haohao’s hand.
