My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 192 - 184: Meeting the Best Version of Myself 1

Almost at the same moment the thought arose, Li Yanan had already dodged away from He Nuoxin.

He Nuoxin’s eyes widened in disbelief, looking blankly at her empty arm, unable to regain her senses for quite a while.

Li Yanan said nothing, and headed straight in the direction of Lin Zhenxin.

The heart Lin Zhenxin had been slightly hanging finally settled.

Only at this moment did she notice that her palms were already covered in cold sweat.

Li Yanan inspected Lin Zhenxin closely with his eyes as if his eyes were his hands, only stopping when he confirmed she was unharmed, and then turned a piercing gaze toward Li Chengze.

Tu Haohao, seeing Li Yanan coming, hurriedly hid to the side.

She was still very much afraid of Li Yanan.

"What happened?" Li Yanan asked, directing the question to Lin Zhenxin.

Lin Zhenxin looked up at him, seemingly wanting to speak, but after some thought, she only pointed to He Nuoxin.

"She said I hit her, and he wants me to apologize."

With one simple sentence, the entire sequence of events was clearly laid out.

Following the direction of Lin Zhenxin’s finger, Li Yanan’s gaze finally fell on He Nuoxin.

His expression as he looked at He Nuoxin was visibly complex.

He Nuoxin stood there like a frail willow, with a clear palm mark on her cheek and tears rolling in her eyes.

"Brother Yanan, I’m fine." She shook her head, tears falling alongside.

So delicate and lovely, making it impossible for a man to look away.

"Which hand did she use to hit you?" Li Yanan ignored the sight and asked coldly.

This question not only stunned He Nuoxin but also left everyone else puzzled.

Except for He Bainian, who furrowed his brows.

He stepped straight up to Li Yanan and put a hand on his strong arm.

"Li Yanan, don’t go too far!"

He Bainian deliberately lowered his voice to a level only the two of them could hear, speaking to Li Yanan.

But Li Yanan was unfazed, merely pushing He Bainian aside and walking toward He Nuoxin.

"Which hand did she use?"

A powerful air seemed to swell around them, as if trying to seal the entire space in ice.

Tu Haohao just watched Li Yanan and He Nuoxin.

She had heard the rumors about these two.

The gossip said that it was He Nuoxin who broke off the engagement and left J City; the reasons were widely speculated.

However...

These two didn’t seem like how the rumors described them now.

The roles of He Nuoxin and Li Yanan seemed to have swapped.

More like it should have been Li Yanan who broke off the engagement, and He Nuoxin was the one who was abandoned.

"Left... left hand." He Nuoxin, under Li Yanan’s intimidating gaze, trembled as she answered.

"Oh? Are you sure?" Li Yanan’s gaze was icy and devoid of any emotion.

"Of course I’m sure!"

He Nuoxin’s voice was gentle, but if you listened closely, there was a trace of tension.

"Is that so?" Li Yanan curled the corners of his lips, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

"Li Yanan, facts speak louder than words. Do you still intend to cover for your wife?"

Li Chengze unconditionally trusted He Nuoxin. In his eyes, she was like an angel, so how could she lie?

Especially lie about something like this!

"Facts speak louder than words?" Li Yanan looked at Li Chengze, the fight earlier leaving marks on Li Chengze’s face.

"Zhenxin, did you hit her?"

Li Yanan’s gaze towards Lin Zhenxin revealed a warmth gradually melting the ice, clearly observable to others.

This was completely different from his demeanor towards everyone else present.

He Nuoxin couldn’t help clenching her delicate fingers, her nails digging deeply into her palms, almost drawing blood. freēnovelkiss.com

"If I say I didn’t, would you believe me?"

Lin Zhenxin spoke with great seriousness, unlike her attitude facing the He siblings.

He Bainian’s pupils abruptly contracted, his handsome features shrouded in a momentary gloom.

What did she say to him?

— I have nothing to say.

But what did she say to Li Yanan?

— If I say I didn’t, would you believe me?

Did she really have nothing to say, or was it that she simply refused to explain to someone insignificant?

Or perhaps she had already guessed his stance from the start?

"Zhenxin, I want you to know that no matter what, I’m always on your side."

Li Yanan spoke softly, and at that moment, Lin Zhenxin’s eyes were touched by a hint of warmth.

"Then I didn’t, I didn’t hit her."

Lin Zhenxin said seriously to him.

To those who wouldn’t believe her, no matter how many times she explained, they would never be on her side.

Instead of wasting words, it’s better not to say anything at all.

Because everyone in this world only chooses to believe the truth they already believe in.

"Nuoxin wouldn’t lie!" Li Chengze’s voice was quite urgent.

"You said Zhenxin hit you with her left hand? But she has a wedding ring on her hand. When she hits you, there should logically be a blank space in the palm print..."

Li Yanan didn’t even look at Li Chengze, his voice was steady,

He Nuoxin’s eyes widened abruptly, seemingly unable to believe that Li Yanan would say such a thing.

And when her gaze unconsciously fell on Lin Zhenxin’s ring, she was even more incredulous.

"Brother Yanan, that ring..."

That ring, she had asked him before, asked for whom he was planning it.

No matter how much she acted like a spoiled child or threw tantrums, he wouldn’t relent and give her that ring.

Yet now, this ring was actually on Lin Zhenxin’s hand?

Lin Zhenxin slightly furrowed her eyebrows. She wasn’t blind, and she naturally saw He Nuoxin’s glare.

Was she blaming her for taking her ring?

But...

Her expression didn’t seem like that.

Could it be...

A strange thought suddenly arose in Lin Zhenxin’s mind.

Was it that this ring was never intended for He Nuoxin from the start?

"Li Yanan!" He Bainian intervened at the right time.

"But the palm print on your cheek is intact, so I don’t believe what you said."

The moment Li Yanan finished speaking, the whole attic fell silent.

Tu Haohao subconsciously looked at He Nuoxin’s face, and indeed, the palm print was complete.

"I... I might have remembered wrong, then it’s the right hand!"

He Nuoxin continued tearfully, as if she had merely remembered incorrectly.

"Right hand?" Li Yanan repeated the two words patiently, as if testing a person’s heart.

"Yes, right hand!" He Nuoxin nodded affirmatively.

He Bainian’s face had become extremely unpleasant, realizing Nuoxin had walked right into the trap Li Yanan had set.

"Alright, stand there and don’t move."

After some time, Li Yanan spoke again.

Seeing him holding Lin Zhenxin’s hand, he moved toward He Nuoxin.

Li Chengze almost simultaneously blocked in front of He Nuoxin.

"Get out." Li Yanan made no attempt to hide his disdain for Li Chengze.

"Enough!" He Bainian suddenly walked over, blocking between them, understanding what Li Yanan intended to do.

"Nuoxin, let’s go!"

After saying this, He Bainian turned, pulling He Nuoxin’s wrist, leading her out of the attic.

Li Chengze gave Li Yanan a fierce glare before following them out.

As for Tu Haohao, she naturally didn’t want to stay as a third wheel either, but she was still a bit curious.

"I..."

Before leaving, Tu Haohao mustered her courage and turned to look at Li Yanan.

"What if it was her right hand?" Tu Haohao wanted to know what Li Yanan would have done next.

Li Yanan didn’t even glance at Tu Haohao, but Lin Zhenxin answered her question.

"The size of my hand doesn’t match the palm print at all."

Tu Haohao was silent for a good two seconds before sighing reluctantly.

In that situation just now, if she were in Sister Zhenxin’s place, Li Chengze would surely have stood with He Nuoxin without hesitation, right?

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness in her heart...

When the irrelevant people left, the attic returned to silence.

Under the incandescent light, the place was a mess.

Not even a single unspoiled spot could be found.

Back in this place, Li Yanan’s rigid facial lines tightened for a moment, although it was only fleeting.

Lin Zhenxin was standing not far away, watching him.

"No matter what, you’re always on my side. That’s what you said, and don’t forget it!"

Without the cold sarcasm used in front of others, Lin Zhenxin returned to being a little woman.

Li Yanan smiled, extending his hand toward her from a short distance.

Amidst the mess, Lin Zhenxin smiled and grasped his hand, the next moment being pulled into his arms.

Inhaling the cold pine scent on Li Yanan, Lin Zhenxin relaxed her body.

Li Yanan lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.

"Did she trouble you?" Li Yingying had called Li Yanan into the study earlier.

Li Yanan shook his head silently.

"That’s good." Lin Zhenxin wrapped her arms around his narrow waist, and with a slight shift, there was the sound of broken glass at her feet.

"In the future, don’t be alone with her."

The ’her’ in Li Yanan’s sentence was self-evident, but Lin Zhenxin didn’t reply immediately.

She just rested her gaze on the ring on her finger.

— Was this ring originally meant for her?

— Its meaning of ’a once-in-a-lifetime love’, does it symbolize your feelings for He Nuoxin?

She remembered that argument they had over He Bainian...

The first time Li Yanan showed her a cold side, she had once spitefully said these words.

"This ring, from the beginning, wasn’t meant for He Nuoxin, was it?"

Lin Zhenxin suddenly spoke, and the question left Li Yanan momentarily stunned.

But he quickly returned to normal.

"Yes." He gave Lin Zhenxin a definite answer.

Lin Zhenxin’s heart felt a slight warmth, as did her eyes.

— I never thought I’d be lucky enough to see this ring.

— What do you mean?

— My teacher in overseas jewelry design classes once told me that the jewelry brand under the Jin Family in Macao had launched a conceptual wedding ring years ago, one of a kind in the world, only two pieces. I was lucky enough to see a photo!

— You mean this ring is unique in the world?

— Yes, this wedding ring’s concept name is ’A Once-in-a-Lifetime Love’, implying that because it happens only once, it is unique!
