My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 146 - 144: Undercurrents Surge
Chapter 146: Chapter 144: Undercurrents Surge
All the people exhausted their minds in guessing...
But apart from knowing it’s a man, there were no other hints coming out!
"Do you know that the Li Family released a message through the media this afternoon, saying the president of T.N.C Group will also attend the party tonight?"
He Bainian’s handsome and cold face was expressionless, his slender fingers naturally hanging down.
There was a noise coming from upstairs.
A woman who had previously been sent upstairs came down in a long evening gown, and immediately a man stood up from the sofa to walk toward her.
"Li Yanan, I’m really curious, what’s the connection between you and her!"
He Bainian paused, finally blurting out the question that had been troubling him inside.
This "her" naturally referred to Lin Zhenxin!
"He Bainian, whether in the past or in the future, I will never have any romantic feelings for He Nuoxin!"
Li Yanan spoke coldly, but this instantly ignited He Bainian’s repressed anger!
Suddenly, He Bainian stood up and grabbed the collar of his shirt, but Li Yanan seemed to be expecting this and pressed down on the back of his hand!
"You play with my sister and then say you won’t have any romantic feelings?"
He Bainian was burning with anger!
Li Yanan said nothing, just looked at He Bainian with those dark eyes.
He knew he was not his opponent!
This was something both were fully aware of.
The reason Li Yanan didn’t make a move was just for the sake of past affections.
He Bainian was his first friend he met after going abroad.
"That night, obviously..."
He Bainian’s voice abruptly stopped because someone else came down from the stairs.
Lin Zhenxin had just completed her entire look, lifting her skirt with her hand as she descended the stairs.
The fabric of the floor-length pink-blue gown was silky and soft, swaying with every step she took, the close-fitting design perfectly accentuating her graceful curves!
Her originally smooth long hair was now pinned up at the back of her head, revealing her slender neck.
Her already delicate and petite face was made even more elegant and soft.
She appeared as if she walked out of a painting...
Lin Zhenxin’s lips curled slightly, instinctively looking down past the carved and hollowed staircase!
But the moment she saw He Bainian holding Li Yanan’s neck, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared...
"He Bainian, let go!" Her voice was cool and displeased.
She lifted her skirt and quickly stepped down the stairs, reaching the front of Li Yanan and He Bainian in no time.
He Bainian reluctantly released his grip.
Lin Zhenxin then turned her gaze to Li Yanan’s face, ensuring he was alright before refocusing her gaze on He Bainian.
"He Bainian, why are you here?"
With makeup, Lin Zhenxin’s already beautiful eyes sparkled like stars.
"You’re not going to mention your sister again, are you?"
Lin Zhenxin took a step forward, positioning herself between the two men.
He Bainian’s eyes flickered but he still said nothing.
"It’s always like this, can’t stop talking about He Nuoxin in three sentences, and today? What are you going to say today?"
Even with a good temper, Lin Zhenxin was close to losing her patience.
He Bainian stepped back a bit.
"Lin Zhenxin..."
"He Bainian, do you have to do this every time? Do you know how annoying this behavior is?"
Lin Zhenxin could understand the sibling affection between He Bainian and He Nuoxin!
She had to admit He Bainian was a good brother!
But every time he seized an opportunity to bring it up, it was hard for anyone to have a good impression of his presence!
He Bainian’s pupils fiercely contracted upon hearing this!
Seemingly surprised to hear the word ’annoying’ from Lin Zhenxin’s mouth!
Without a word, he tightened his lips, who knows how long passed before He Bainian turned and left.
Just as silently as when he arrived...
After He Bainian left, Lin Zhenxin stood with her back to Li Yanan, watching the direction of He Bainian’s disappearing figure.
At some point, Li Yanan reached out from behind and wrapped his arm around her smooth shoulder.
"Are you stupid? Just standing there letting him grab you?"
Lin Zhenxin angrily brushed off his arm, turning to face Li Yanan’s innocent face. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The angrier she became, the softer his gaze grew.
Before Lin Zhenxin could say another word, Li Yanan reached out, placed his thin lips on her gloss-touched lips.
Not caring at all if there were others around!
When the kiss ended, Lin Zhenxin, slightly dazed, widened her eyes, looking at the smiling, lip-cornered Li Yanan.
"You..." Why did he kiss her all of a sudden?
What made her even more embarrassed, Li Yanan’s lips were stained with her lipstick color.
"Not very tasty." As if savoring, Li Yanan used his fingertips to wipe the lipstick from his lips.
Lin Zhenxin’s already crimson face became even hotter and painful.
That action just now was too tempting!
"You wiped it all off, now I need to reapply!" Lin Zhenxin could feel the glances sneaking her way.
"Why do women put on lipstick anyway?"
Li Yanan didn’t understand why this entirely chemically composed product was so popular?
Lin Zhenxin rolled her eyes without any real annoyance.
Why?
"To look good, to be beautiful, why else?"
Of course, there’s also the reason for men!
"You look good and are beautiful, so you don’t need to put this stuff on."
Li Yanan paused, then added.
"It tastes quite bad!"
Lin Zhenxin immediately heard muffled laughter from not far away. Already shy, she stomped heavily on his foot...
After finishing everything, Lin Zhenxin learned that Li Yanan couldn’t enter with her tonight.
But he had already arranged a car, and it would take her when the time came.
Afterward, Li Yanan left first.
With almost more than an hour to spare, Lin Zhenxin decided to call Yao Lemon!
The call was quickly answered, but a near-dead voice came through.
"You heartless person, you just thought of me!"
Yao Lemon had taken two days off, cooped up at home and not going anywhere.
"Sorry, okay?! You and Gu Daxiong... what’s going on?"
Lin Zhenxin wanted to ask yesterday but got delayed by a series of events that followed.
"It’s just... that matter!"
Yao Lemon, uncharacteristically bashful, made Lin Zhenxin almost laugh.
"Which bastard posted online saying it doesn’t hurt at all to do this? Another said it’s like getting a shot! Let her try inserting something as thick as her forearm, it was killing me..."
Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but burst out laughing!
"I feel, he’s pretty decent."
At the party that day, even though Gu Daxiong only spoke a few words, one could still sense he was upright and manly!
"If you think he’s good, then go with him. I slept with him and left, didn’t even say a word!"
Yao Lemon was full of grievances; though he gave her a bath and made breakfast...
There was still an inexplicable irritation!
As if things were out of control!
"Yao Lemon!" Suddenly, through the phone, Lin Zhenxin heard a deep man’s voice, like a military drill command.
Before Lin Zhenxin could say another word, the call was cut off...
Staring at the phone screen displaying the call ended, she could only hope Yao Lemon...
fend for herself!
The banquet was held at the Li Mansion, with even a media area set apart.
The interview was finished before Lin Zhenxin arrived, as there were many big personalities present, and the media didn’t dare act recklessly. As for the incident about Li Miya during the day, everyone tacitly chose silence.
Mostly, they were waiting for the mysterious CEO of T.N.C Group!
When Lin Zhenxin entered the mansion, she saw Tu Wanzi hosting guests and her smile froze for a moment upon seeing her.
Actually, since Lin Zhenxin entered the mansion, countless eyes, both overt and covert, had been on her!
Lately, the name Lin Zhenxin had been in the spotlight.
Not to mention she hosted He Bainian’s first radio interview upon his return, then stories emerged she married the illegitimate Li Yanan without real power, and then... the sudden outburst of an old arson story...
She had also caused a scene at the engagement party of the Director’s daughter of the Education Bureau!
At the party, she became renowned as a fierce woman with just a feather duster!
Lin Zhenxin met Tu Wanzi’s gaze from across the room, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
If it weren’t for Tu Wanzi’s jade necklace, she wouldn’t have had the inspiration for such a performance!
Her presence brought a brief silence to the mansion.
But it was short-lived.
Even though everyone in this circle knew how Li Yanan entered the Li Family, some appearances still had to be maintained!
So it was only natural and expected that Lin Zhenxin would appear!
Li Yingying naturally noticed Lin Zhenxin too; she hadn’t posted anything!
She smiled and greeted the guests before walking towards Lin Zhenxin with a smile.
Once she got close, she intentionally lowered her voice.
"Upstairs." The nearly commanding two words made Lin Zhenxin smile slightly.
"Mrs. Li, I came to congratulate!"
Both spoke in lowered voices and with smiles on their faces, to outsiders unaware, it seemed they were having a pleasant conversation!
This was unexpected to everyone!
"I don’t need your congratulations!"
Li Yingying was already fuming with anger, unable to reach Li Chengze by phone, and Li Miya was in that state!
This woman dared to add fuel to the fire at this time?
"That’s not up to you." After saying this, Lin Zhenxin gracefully walked toward Tu Wanzi.
While walking, she picked up a glass of champagne.
The closer she got to Tu Wanzi, the grimmer Tu Wanzi’s expression became, even taking two steps back.
The night of that party indeed left a shadow in Tu Wanzi’s heart.
She seemed to see her sister Tu Xinya’s shadow through Lin Zhenxin, with that cold, proud, sharp expression and gaze...
That night, Tu Wanzi had a nightmare!
Dreaming of the curse Tu Xinya left before leaving J City!
With Lin Zhenxin approaching, Tu Wanzi retreated.
In others’ eyes, this formed an unusual scene.
Even Li Yingying, who didn’t like Lin Zhenxin, was a bit surprised to see this.
