Chapter 134: Chapter 132: You Can’t Hurt Me 1
"What do you like about me?" Li Chengze ignored the question.
Tu Haohao nervously curled her fingers, looking at him.
"I like... you’re a good person." As soon as Tu Haohao finished speaking, she heard Li Chengze’s harsh mockery.
"A good person? The so-called good person in your mouth is now only thinking about how to sleep with..."
Before Li Chengze could finish his sentence, Tu Haohao had already reached out to hold his face and went up to kiss him.
Unlike Li Chengze’s kisses, Tu Haohao truly just kissed him simply, blocking his mouth, and made no further moves.
"Ha..."
Suddenly, Li Chengze chuckled, turned over, and pulled her into his arms.
Before Tu Haohao could react, a thin blanket was already covering her body.
"Brother Chengze..." What does this mean?
"Close your eyes!" He pressed her head to his chest, deliberately pretending to sound fierce.
"Oh." Tu Haohao obediently closed her eyes.
There was a moment of silence, and nothing happened.
"And then?" She opened her eyes again, looking at him in confusion.
"Sleep! Tomorrow when you wake up, I’ll take you back to the hospital!" Li Chengze pressed her head back and closed his eyes.
"Oh." Tu Haohao obediently closed her eyes, thinking he wanted...
In no time, her breathing became even.
Meanwhile, Li Chengze, who had his eyes closed, opened them to look at her...
When Lin Zhenxin opened her eyes, it was already dark outside.
She instinctively reached out beside her and was met with a chill, sitting up from the bed with a start!
Looking around, there was no sign of Li Yanan.
She pulled back the covers and got out of bed, stepping barefoot onto the warmly heated fine rosewood floor.
"Li Yanan..." The empty villa even echoed her voice.
"Li Yanan!" Lin Zhenxin felt a bit panicked.
She vaguely remembered the last scene before sleep but didn’t know if he’d forgiven her.
The basement media room was empty.
The area around the pool was empty.
The kitchen and the hall were empty as well.
Neither the bedroom nor the study held any trace of him.
Lin Zhenxin wandered aimlessly on the second floor, eventually crouching on the floor with a dejected heart.
Had he left her behind again?
Suddenly, a pair of feet in indoor slippers quietly appeared in her view.
Lin Zhenxin stared blankly up, first spotting dark-colored casual pants, then a gray woolen sweater, until she saw the man’s face.
"Where did you go?" Lin Zhenxin suddenly lunged into his arms.
"I was on the terrace upstairs." Li Yanan was initially surprised by her action, then frowned at her bare feet.
"I thought you left me here again."
Lin Zhenxin raised her head, her eyes full of anxiety and unease.
Li Yanan just placed a calming hand on her head and gently ruffled her hair, then took off his slippers and handed them to her.
"Put them on." He said in a commanding tone.
Lin Zhenxin obediently put on his slippers, which were far too big for her, feeling like boats.
The heels dragged on the floor, making a slapping sound.
Following Li Yanan, Lin Zhenxin went upstairs, where a 180° panoramic window first caught her eye.
The city’s lights shone in a scattered pattern, flickering on and off.
A cigarette, still lit, lay across an ashtray, with blue smoke curling up.
Perhaps it was too cold outside, but inside the room, the warmth from the floor heating was gradually spreading, and the panoramic window was covered in white mist, making the city’s night scene look even more dreamy and beautiful.
"Why are you smoking again?" Lin Zhenxin turned to look at him.
Seeing Li Yanan giving no response, she began rummaging in his pockets.
"What are you looking for?" Li Yanan looked down at her.
"Cigarettes and a lighter, hand them over!" Lin Zhenxin placed her palm in front of him demanding.
"I don’t smoke that much." Li Yanan took a step forward, extinguishing the cigarette in the ashtray in the process.
Lin Zhenxin said nothing, keeping her hand held out, watching him from her spot.
Neither knew how long they remained in this standoff.
Ultimately, Li Yanan was the first to relent, retrieving the lighter and cigarette pack from the drawer and placing them in her hand.
"Hungry?" Li Yanan asked.
Lin Zhenxin instinctively nodded, not having eaten anything since the morning.
If he hadn’t mentioned it, she really wouldn’t have felt it.
"Wait here." With that, Li Yanan went downstairs barefoot...
Tu Haohao slept peacefully, quietly nestled in Li Chengze’s embrace.
Her rounded, fair shoulder was exposed, and her ink-black hair splayed out next to her face, looking like a resilient little flower in a snowfield.
After an uncertain amount of time, Li Chengze got up and sat.
He put on his clothes.
Took the room card and left the room.
With his hands in his jeans pockets, he returned to the ’Peach Blossom Deep’ bar.
Late at night was prime time for the bar’s business, people were everywhere.
Li Chengze’s friends had long departed.
He saw Li Chengze jump onto the stage with one hand, snatching the microphone from the singer Mike who was playing the guitar.
"Everyone, I’ve booked this place today. The door’s over there, don’t let it hit you on your way out!"
The bar manager naturally recognized the unruly Li family’s young master and approached with a wry smile, only to have a bank card slapped onto his forehead!
"I said, I’ve booked it, show them out!"
The manager laughed, realizing that they couldn’t afford to provoke the Li family. Since he was willing to pay, they might as well let him do as he pleased!
Soon, the guests were escorted out, grumbling with dissatisfaction.
Li Chengze remained standing on the stage with his hands in his pockets.
Only when the bar had quieted completely did he suddenly jump down, pretending to inattentively search for something on the floor.
The manager turned on all the indoor lights, standing aside with a smiling expression, clutching the already-swiped bank card.
Ten minutes...
Thirty minutes...
Fifty minutes...
The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, wondering what exactly Mr. Li was searching for.
Just as he was thinking so, he saw Li Chengze suddenly crouch down to pick up a ring-like object from the floor and put it into his pocket...
When Li Yanan returned with a bowl of plain vermicelli soup with scallions, Lin Zhenxin was searching for something.
"Have you seen my phone?" She hadn’t found it when she returned to the bedroom earlier.
"Oh, no, I haven’t." Li Yanan lied without changing his expression.
"Strange." Lin Zhenxin wondered if she’d left it in the taxi.
Until the vermicelli soup brought her back to reality, garnished with fresh green scallions and savory chicken thread mushrooms.
Already hungry, she immediately started eating with renewed appetite. freēnovelkiss.com
The noodles were thin as threads, the broth deliciously sweet and savory; Lin Zhenxin slowly ate half a bowl, accidentally glancing up to find Li Yanan staring at her.
"Is something wrong?" She instinctively wiped her mouth, thinking there might be some oil.
His gaze was dark and heavy, exerting an unspeakable pressure.
"I lied just now." Li Yanan stated with a blank expression.
"Hmm?" What?
"I know where your phone is."
"Where?" Lin Zhenxin sipped at the soup, warming her stomach comfortably.
Upon hearing this, Li Yanan got up and left.
Not long after, when he returned with her phone in hand, Lin Zhenxin’s eyes widened in shock.
The phone was twisted and deformed, the screen shattered into a spiderweb...
It was broken beyond repair.
"Your phone fell on the floor, and I ’accidentally’ stepped on it." Li Yanan casually stated without a change in expression.
Lin Zhenxin looked at him skeptically—did that look like an ’accidentally’ broken phone?
But soon, Li Yanan produced a brand new phone and pushed it toward her.
"Use this."
"Hmm." Though she had questions, Lin Zhenxin asked no more.
"It’s a new number." Li Yanan added.
"Okay, understood." Lin Zhenxin nodded.
For a while, neither spoke.
"Aren’t you going to ask me why?" Li Yanan finally spoke up.
"Didn’t you say it ’accidentally’ broke?"
Lin Zhenxin smiled slightly; she wasn’t stupid, she knew something was up.
But since he didn’t mention it, she didn’t pierce the matter either.
Li Yanan remained silent.
"While you were sleeping, He Bainian sent a text."
Li Yanan’s gaze shifted to the window, a deep furrow forming between his sharp brows.
Lin Zhenxin looked up at him suddenly.
"He said what he expressed last night, about liking you, he meant it."
The tone shed the previous calm, replaced with a hint of chill.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenxin immediately lost her appetite, facing the man with a stiff face, yet her heart suddenly settled.
Pushing the bowl away, she got up, made her way around the table, and crouched before him.
"I have absolutely zero romantic feelings for him! I swear!"
Her soft hands still warm, she carefully held Li Yanan’s dry, rough fingers, and seeing him not push her away, she grew bolder.
"When he confessed, I was shocked—I never thought... He Bainian had such feelings for me!"
Though she didn’t mention that when He Bainian spoke, a sense of repulsion instantly rose in her mind!
"Please don’t be angry, okay?" Lin Zhenxin pleaded gently while shaking his hand, eyes pleading.
Li Yanan looked down at her, still not speaking.
She was already small in stature, quite thin as well, squatting there she seemed tiny, easily evoking compassion.
"Besides you, I like no one else, no one else catches my eye!"
Feeling his silence, Lin Zhenxin jiggled his wrist again.
"Really? Not just telling me what I want to hear?"
This remark touched the softest part of Li Yanan’s heart, but his expression remained cool.
"More true than pearls!"
Lin Zhenxin beamed at him. The next moment, she widened her eyes in surprise.
Li Yanan with strong arms, easily scooped her from the ground into his lap without breaking a sweat.
"This better be the last time! Or else I’ll break both your arms and legs, tether you by my side, and never let you leave!"
Though his words were part warning and part threat, in his embrace, Lin Zhenxin found them amusing.
"You wouldn’t bear to." She said with confidence.
Li Yanan didn’t reply; with her, he could only bluster a bit!
After eating her fill, Lin Zhenxin yawned several times in quick succession.
Snuggled in his broad chest, enveloped by the refreshing masculine scent that reassured her, she quickly fell asleep again.
Li Yanan looked down at her, intending to carry her back to the bedroom, when suddenly the FaceTime call alert chimed.
First, adjusting Lin Zhenxin’s head against his chest, he opened the call.
Yesterday, Mo Chi had messaged to say he had arrived in Danang.
