My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 142 - 140: Morality, Justice, Integrity, and Honor 2
Chapter 142: Chapter 140: Morality, Justice, Integrity, and Honor 2
Everything that happened tonight, Li Yanan heard about it all from Xun Chen.
She indeed caused quite a scene, leaving no face for the other side, and tonight’s events would likely spread her reputation of being domineering and arrogant.
Yet, ironically enough, he liked it very much.
He liked her just the way she was, wild and fiercely defending herself.
There are so many women in this world, and none of them caught his eye.
Except for this one, who made him reluctant to let go, even if it meant a piece of his flesh.
The next day, a major event occurred in J City.
An unprecedented upset in the history of auctions happened on this day.
A piece of land that had already been eyed by the Li Family and was commonly agreed in the industry that no one could compete against them for it...
Was snatched away by a company called T.N.C just like that!
And the offered price was merely two hundred thousand more than the highest price offered by the Li Family.
Although the paperwork hasn’t come through yet, everyone knew...
This parcel of land was the highlight of the new economic development zone, the focal point of future J City!
Whoever won the bid would definitely make a profit without loss!
Two hundred thousand, just a difference of two hundred thousand, what does this represent?
It means the top executives of this T.N.C Group knew from the very beginning where the Li Family’s bottom line was!
All the preliminary work done by the Li Family turned into nothing, resulting in a direct loss of over eight figures!
The outside world was filled with curiosity about this mysterious and low-profile new group called T.N.C, even trying to retrieve information, but soon people realized it was all in vain because this company was too discreet and mysterious.
Not to mention the company background, even the identity of the company’s president was unknown!
For a while, everyone was full of curiosity about this mysterious and reserved company whose president was unknown.
However, the one thing that could be confirmed was that T.N.C’s legal representation was by Xun Chen’s law firm, so...
For a while, both Xun Chen and his law firm ended up on the headlines along with T.N.C.
At this moment, however, the outside disturbances did not affect Lin Zhenxin’s good mood in the slightest.
"Don’t move!" Lin Zhenxin shot a fierce glare at Li Yanan.
Standing between his legs, Lin Zhenxin shook the shaving foam in her hand and squeezed some into her palm, awkwardly smearing it onto Li Yanan’s jaw.
"Aunt Xu and Grandma will be back with groceries soon..." Li Yanan said, his expression calm.
This morning, she got interested in the stubble on his chin.
As if she hadn’t heard, Lin Zhenxin casually tied her long hair into a bun on top of her head, some strands falling by her cheeks.
Actually, this interest of Lin Zhenxin’s was quite spontaneous.
Through the white foam, she could still clearly feel his short, prickly stubble, but...
Unintentionally, she stroked his Adam’s apple once more.
Lin Zhenxin never told anyone that she thought a man’s Adam’s apple was the second sexiest part after abs.
And Li Yanan’s, both in angle and touch, could definitely be considered top-notch.
"Don’t move..." Lin Zhenxin avoided the hand he placed on her waist with a smile.
It was so ticklish!
Taking the razor from Li Yanan’s hand, Lin Zhenxin bent closer and began to shave cautiously.
A rustle sounded as the stubble was shaved off along with the foam, leaving a patch of smooth skin.
Li Yanan simply watched her like this.
Her delicate features were full of focus, her long lashes flickering like dense little fans.
His breath inadvertently got disordered.
Just because Lin Zhenxin, unconsciously, kept caressing his sensitive Adam’s apple.
He knew she liked it there, always finding a reason to touch him with those soft little hands.
Yet he also liked Zhenxin’s closeness.
So he simply pretended not to know.
Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin’s new phone on the table rang with a WeChat notification.
Lin Zhenxin got distracted, one hand holding the razor, the other picking up the phone.
To be honest, it was quite a dangerous move!
Li Yanan saw it but didn’t stop her, there was even a bit of indulgence letting her do as she pleased.
"Lin Zhenxin, that bastard Gu Daxiong slept with me last night!"
Opening the voice message, Lin Zhenxin never expected Yao Lemon to yell out such a sentence!
In a flustered attempt to turn it off, she forgot the blade was still beside Li Yanan’s Adam’s apple, and her hand trembled slightly, resulting in a bloody cut!
Lin Zhenxin felt very sorry and instinctively lowered her head to kiss that bloody cut!
In an instant, both Lin Zhenxin and Li Yanan froze.
Lin Zhenxin purely out of fright.
While Li Yanan was feeling the heat from her action all over his body.
His blood tasted a bit salty and gritty.
A flavor similar to rust.
His Adam’s apple moving up and down as Li Yanan swallowed, Lin Zhenxin held her breath and moved her lips away.
The next moment, however, Li Yanan grabbed her hand and pulled her back in front of him!
Unintentionally meeting the man’s eyes.
Li Yanan looked directly at her, his dark eyes filled with fiery emotions.
The sound of the door unlocking with the password came from the entrance.
Lin Zhenxin hurriedly shook off Li Yanan’s arm, creating some distance between them.
"Mr. Li, your package has arrived."
Aunt Xu came in holding a long box and paused momentarily when her gaze swept over Lin Zhenxin.
She seemed like she wanted to say something but held back.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Lin Zhenxin naturally didn’t notice.
In contrast, Li Yanan just stood up naturally, using a towel to wipe off the remaining shaving foam.
"Xinxin, you have a white beard..." although Aunt Xu hesitated, Grandma didn’t hold back from pointing it out.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenxin touched her face in panic, indeed finding white foam!
Her expression instantly became embarrassed.
Pretending he hadn’t noticed, Li Yanan took the package box from Aunt Xu and handed it to Lin Zhenxin.
"This is for you." He had ordered it last night, not expecting it to arrive so quickly.
"Hmm? What is it?" With her cheeks still flushed, Lin Zhenxin took the package and shook it instinctively.
No sound came from it.
"Open it in your room."
Li Yanan pressed his hand on the back of hers; he still needed to go into the room to finish shaving the other half of his stubble.
"Oh." The mystery made her even more curious about what was inside!
What could it be?
In the high-level VIP isolation ward of the hospital, various machines maintained basic operations.
Tu Haohao lay asleep on the bed.
Quiet and peaceful, like a sleeping beauty.
Through the thick isolation glass, Li Chengze stood outside, watching her.
As if feeling something, Tu Haohao slowly opened her eyes and looked toward Li Chengze’s direction.
Li Chengze instinctively turned his back to her!
The expression on his face was one of defeat, somehow, he didn’t want Tu Haohao to see that.
After learning about the failure to secure the bid, Li Chengze left the company but didn’t go home.
Soon realizing, with the vast openness of the world, there was no place for him to stay.
When he came to, he found himself at the hospital.
Slowly turning back, he surprisingly found Tu Haohao still looking in his direction.
The two of them looked at each other for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, Tu Haohao slightly raised the corners of her lips, softly and gently smiling.
Her heavy fingers slowly lifted, arduously...
Making a V sign towards Li Chengze...
Li Chengze suddenly turned around and walked quickly out of the ward!
The silent corridor of the high-level isolation ward area was empty, with a heavy smell of disinfectant.
Li Chengze crouched down on the ground.
Suddenly, tears fell without warning!
He cried like a child...
Lin Zhenxin amusingly took out the contents of the box.
Just as Li Yanan, now freshly shaved, returned from outside, Lin Zhenxin happened to look up.
"You gave this to me?" In her hand was a feather duster with bright feathers and a thick handle, even accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, proving it to be a well-known artisan’s work.
Although she already knew that Xun Chen would tell Li Yanan about last night, looking at this feather duster in her hand, her face still turned a deep red.
"Next time someone dares to speak ill of you, use this to deal with them!"
Li Yanan slightly tilted his chin, revealing the wound beside his Adam’s apple, and his words made Lin Zhenxin both laugh and cry.
"After last night, people probably only see me as arrogant anymore!"
To be honest, Lin Zhenxin hadn’t intended for that to happen, but Gu Yaoyao was so aggressive that she couldn’t help but be angry!
"Do you really care about what others think of you?"
This question, Li Yanan asked very seriously.
Lin Zhenxin held the feather duster, tilting her head as she pondered this question.
"Compared to others’ opinions, I should care more about your attitude towards me!"
Her fingers caressed the shaft of the feather duster; since he asked seriously, Lin Zhenxin naturally answered seriously.
Upon hearing her answer, Li Yanan simply picked up Lin Zhenxin along with the feather duster...
Then sat on the edge of the bed, forcing her to sit on his lap.
"My attitude is that if you want to hit someone, just use this to hit them!"
Initially uncomfortable with this posture, like a child being held.
Yet, Li Yanan’s nonchalant tilting of his chin exposed the wound, instantly halting Lin Zhenxin’s struggles.
Just as they were talking, Li Yanan’s phone rang.
Glancing at the number just now, he knew it was Xun Chen calling.
Perhaps because of their close proximity, Lin Zhenxin could occasionally hear what Xun Chen was saying, vaguely about the banquet.
"Leave an invitation and say I will definitely attend. Also, carry out what I planned last night."
After saying this, Li Yanan hung up the phone.
Once the call ended, neither of them spoke; Li Yanan’s hand occasionally touched the bun on top of her head.
Thinking about something unknown.
"Tomorrow night, the engagement party between the Li Family and Tu Family is to be held at the Li Mansion."
After a long while, Li Yanan finally spoke.
Lin Zhenxin was first stunned upon hearing this, then quickly looked up.
"But Tu Haohao is still in the hospital..."
"This party’s purpose isn’t for Li Chengze and Tu Haohao, but for..." ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Li Yanan’s eyes flickered with cold sarcasm, but for a test!
"You’re going tomorrow night? Then I want to go too!"
Li Yanan gently stroked her back, feeling softened by her tense expression.
