My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 141 - 139: The Sense of Propriety, Justice, Integrity, and Honor 1

Chapter 141: Chapter 139: The Sense of Propriety, Justice, Integrity, and Honor 1

After saying this, Lin Zhenxin left the room without hesitation.

Suddenly, a soft laugh came from among the crowd.

Those who were still stunned and unable to react to the earlier shock now stared, dumbfounded, at the source of the laughter.

Even Xun Chen couldn’t help but look over.

They saw He Bainian, who usually never revealed his emotions easily in any situation.

Looking at the two broken pieces of the feather duster on the ground...

Laughing uncontrollably.

Lin Zhenxin, oh Lin Zhenxin.

You always bring me surprises...

Lin Zhenxin walked out of the hotel, didn’t see any taxis, and strolled aimlessly forward.

Until she passed by a convenience store open 24 hours a day near her home, she pushed the door open and went in.

Generally, such convenience stores have seating areas for nearby employees working late to eat.

She bought a cup of instant noodles, prepared it with the hot water in the store, and placed it on a table by the floor-to-ceiling window, just a pane of glass away from the street.

Lin Zhenxin sat down slowly, truthfully, she was hungry, but really had no appetite.

Instant noodles are something that smell delicious, but taste... not so much.

Her gaze fell on the street scene outside the window.

Perhaps because the convenience store was warm, the floor-to-ceiling window was fogged up, and Lin Zhenxin casually drew a heart on it.

Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin’s phone rang.

Only two people knew her new number, so she picked it up directly, not worrying about it being someone else.

"Where are you?" Li Yanan’s magnetic voice sounded on the other end of the line.

Lin Zhenxin told him her general location and then hung up.

She didn’t know how long she had waited when Li Yanan’s Audi A8L appeared in her field of vision.

Her previously bored expression brightened as she saw him get out of the car.

Li Yanan naturally spotted the figure sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, with a cup of noodles in front of her.

He pushed open the door to the convenience store and walked straight toward Lin Zhenxin.

"Did Xun Chen call you?"

Li Yanan nodded and glanced at the completely soaked, curly noodles.

"Don’t eat it." He said as he tossed the bowl of noodles into the trash can.

"I’m hungry." Lin Zhenxin touched her flat stomach; earlier she had just eaten some fruit and drank a little champagne.

"I’ll take you to eat something delicious."

Li Yanan held her hand, interlocking their fingers, and helped her stand up.

"You said it!" Lin Zhenxin’s eyes suddenly lit up, like stars twinkling inside...

Li Yanan drove her to the outskirts of the city.

In the suburbs of J City, many courtyard houses belong to private owners, involving various interests and extensive entanglements.

Buying any one of these courtyards is enough to prove one’s special status.

Li Yanan parked the car at the entrance, where another car was already parked.

"Let’s go, Xun Chen is already inside." Li Yanan said.

Lin Zhenxin nodded.

Li Yanan didn’t ask about this evening’s events, and Lin Zhenxin didn’t bring it up either, after all...

Even she thought using a feather duster to hit someone sounded a bit unsightly.

Li Yanan pushed the door open and entered, with Lin Zhenxin following behind him, quickly catching a whiff of a rich aroma.

"Is it hot pot?"

Lin Zhenxin exclaimed happily, seeing that a table had already been set up in the yard.

The ancient-looking copper hot pot was already steaming, and the aroma she smelled earlier was wafting from it.

"Aren’t you glad you didn’t eat that bowl of noodles earlier?"

Li Yanan took off his coat, revealing a powder blue shirt clinging to his fit physique.

It was the first time Lin Zhenxin had seen him wearing a shirt of this color, and she was momentarily surprised.

"Sit here, I’ll get the dishes." Li Yanan placed his hands on her shoulders and pressed Lin Zhenxin into the seat.

Showing no sign of wanting her to assist.

Soon, Xun Chen and Li Yanan each came out carrying two plates of beef.

Lin Zhenxin, on the other hand, was still lost in the thought of how comfortable the rattan chair felt beneath her.

It clearly appeared to be just a simple rattan chair, yet it was not hard at all.

The table was set under a large ginkgo tree, whose leaves had mostly fallen in the early winter, and the courtyard was very clean.

It should have been cold at night, but the warmth from the hot pot counteracted everything.

Beef, mutton, and some vegetables were brought to the table one after another.

The rather long wooden table was clearly a bit too small for everything!

When Li Yanan finally sat down.

Xun Chen forcibly dragged a young woman out of the kitchen.

"Jiang Chengzhi!" With just three simple words, Xun Chen displayed a rare boldness not often seen outside of court.

The girl named Jiang Chengzhi looked reluctant.

Yet Xun Chen forcibly pulled her by the back of her collar to the table.

The girl lowered her head, her hands resting quietly in front of her, not looking at anyone else.

"Your name is Jiang Chengzhi?" Lin Zhenxin tilted her head to look at her.

The girl, in her early twenties, had skin as fair and tender as if water could be squeezed out, with naturally curly hair framing her small face, appearing extremely cute.

"Hmm." Hearing someone ask, she looked up and met Lin Zhenxin’s gaze.

"You’re called Orange Juice, I have a friend named Lemon, so we’re quite fated to meet."

Lin Zhenxin joked, dispelling any tension Jiang Chengzhi felt in her heart.

"Try the soup. I simmered it for eight hours with chicken bones, pork bones, and lamb bones, among others."

Jiang Chengzhi served Lin Zhenxin a bowl of soup, but before she could hand it over, Xun Chen intercepted it with a blank expression halfway through.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Chengzhi looked down in frustration and said nothing.

"Try making that face again? Did I bully you?"

When Xun Chen said this, his expression seemed fierce, clearly scaring Jiang Chengzhi.

"You did... You dragged me from home and threw me here..."

Jiang Chengzhi muttered softly, while Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but giggle.

"Eat." Li Yanan’s voice pulled Lin Zhenxin back to reality.

She could tell that this spooky Lawyer Xun, who was known for his sharp tongue, probably had a soft spot for this young woman.

But it seemed she wasn’t interested in him at all!

Li Yanan dipped a slice of beef into the hot pot and then placed it in her bowl.

All the meat here was delivered directly from the slaughterhouse, fresh and pure, taking only twenty minutes.

So the taste was absolutely the freshest and most authentic.

Just as Lin Zhenxin placed the meat into her mouth, she was instantly conquered by its perfect texture.

The meat was tender, sweet, and flavorful, completely unlike the frozen meat in regular hot pot restaurants.

"Is it good?" Li Yanan watched her expression of satisfaction and felt that his heart was melting.

"It’s amazing, I’m so hungry I could eat a whole cow!"

As she finished speaking, Li Yanan placed another freshly cooked piece of meat into her bowl. freewēbnoveℓ.com

He focused on cooking while she focused on eating.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chengzhi, looking disgruntled, was cooking meat for Xun Chen, who seemed to be in a commanding position.

Xun Chen’s eyes occasionally glanced over at Li Yanan and Lin Zhenxin.

Ha, the strong stench of romance!

Lin Zhenxin ate until she was stuffed.

She miraculously finished two plates of meat all by herself, not even needing any other vegetables.

Yet it was surprising to see such a petit Jiang Chengzhi being such a big eater, worthy of a massive appetite.

Li Yanan and Xun Chen chatted with intervals, all about business topics which didn’t pique Lin Zhenxin’s interest.

Luckily, Jiang Chengzhi soon brought over washed fruits.

Lin Zhenxin simply joined Jiang Chengzhi at the side to eat fruits.

"How did you meet Xun Chen?"

Lin Zhenxin had seen how sharp-tongued Xun Chen could be, and from her view, Jiang Chengzhi seemed unlikely to approach him voluntarily.

"He..." Jiang Chengzhi instinctively glanced back, making sure Xun Chen wasn’t paying attention, before speaking softly.

"He got drunk and tried to unlock my house with his key... I thought he was a thief and then..."

Lin Zhenxin widened her eyes, "And then what?"

"I called the police..." Jiang Chengzhi said in an increasingly hushed voice, her expression growing more and more guilty.

With a snort of laughter, Lin Zhenxin couldn’t hold back, bursting out laughing.

No need to guess, Lin Zhenxin could clearly imagine Xun Chen’s feelings at that moment.

"So you two are neighbors?" Lin Zhenxin said, trying to suppress her laughter.

Jiang Chengzhi nodded...

Meanwhile, on Xun Chen and Li Yanan’s side.

"You have no idea, the entire room was stunned, just watching her snap the feather duster in half and throw it to the ground!"

Xun Chen recounted what he witnessed at the engagement ceremony to Li Yanan.

Honestly, he truly felt he had underestimated Lin Zhenxin.

With that aura, that look, she was practically a second Li Yanan standing right before him.

"Feather duster, I don’t know what she was thinking!"

Li Yanan didn’t speak, his gentle gaze fell upon Lin Zhenxin’s back as she chatted with Jiang Chengzhi.

As if sensing something, Lin Zhenxin turned her head and, seeing him watching her, smiled.

"Didn’t you used to hate me wearing shirts of this color? You said I was pretending to be younger? Why are you wearing it yourself now?"

To be honest, knowing Li Yanan for so many years, only this year did Xun Chen feel like the once dreary Li Yanan had come back to life.

Perhaps, it was because of Lin Zhenxin’s presence.

"Afraid she’d leave me." Li Yanan admitted frankly.

Possibly seeing too many of his decisive sides, witnessing him being insecure felt too much for Xun Chen.

"I was wrong, I take back what I said earlier."

Xun Chen restrained his laughter and suddenly spoke seriously.

Li Yanan glanced at him, having been brothers for so many years, even if Xun Chen hadn’t spelled it out, he understood.

"It’s not that she’s not good enough for you. Rather, she’s perfectly matched with you."

Perhaps no one else could challenge him in such a manner.

With such a sharp method, such a tenacious demeanor, just like Li Yanan himself.

"By the way, for tomorrow’s bid, the Li Family can put up a maximum of nine hundred seventy million in liquid assets, but we can’t rule out the possibility of the Tu Family helping under the table, so we should be cautious!"

"You handle it as you see fit." Li Yanan said, his eyes deep.

"When do you plan to..."

"After the bid, we’ll talk..."

Lin Zhenxin was carried into the car by Li Yanan.

After the events of tonight, her energy was depleted, not to mention she ate too much, and drifted into sleep while chatting with Jiang Chengzhi.

Reaching over to pull the seatbelt to secure her.

Looking closely at Lin Zhenxin’s pretty and clean face from such proximity, Li Yanan’s motions briefly paused.
