My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 204 - 196 Aunt Xu 1
Chapter 204: Chapter 196 Aunt Xu 1
He Nuoxin quietly returned to the hospital, seemingly indifferent to the commotion she had just caused.
The wound on her wrist had dried and no longer bled. Sitting in the corridor, she slowly reopened the wound.
As if she couldn’t feel the pain, tears slid down her cheeks, mixing with the blood, rendering the wound a bloody mess.
"Brother Yanan is mine, he belongs to me..."
He Nuoxin murmured to herself softly.
Even though since her return, Li Yanan had not responded to her directly.
Even though he had watched her almost die just now without helping, still He Nuoxin stubbornly believed.
Feeling it was enough, He Nuoxin stood and walked towards Li Chengze’s hospital room.
Her body like a frail willow, her face as delicate as a pear blossom in the rain.
But as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw another person.
Tu Haohao!
Although Tu Haohao had run out of the hotel with Li Chengze, she was still a step behind him.
Soon, she lost track of Li Chengze.
There were two hospitals on either side of the intersection, and she found her way here purely by chance.
Downstairs, she saw a crowd gathered.
But she was in a hurry to find someone and wasn’t interested.
By sheer coincidence, she and He Nuoxin had missed each other.
When she finally saw Li Chengze, Tu Haohao could hardly believe it was the same man who had left her just a while ago.
She reached out to touch his face, but then heard the sound of the door opening.
Tu Haohao and He Nuoxin locked eyes, and before she could feel sad, her gaze swept over He Nuoxin’s wrist wound, her eyes suddenly widening.
"Nuoxin!" Li Chengze also saw it, and immediately stood up, pushing Tu Haohao aside and rushing over.
Without thinking, He Nuoxin threw herself into his arms, sobbing quietly.
Tu Haohao watched this scene, standing still for a long time without moving.
But suddenly, she saw He Nuoxin’s face, with her chin resting next to Li Chengze’s jaw, showing her a strange smile.
Tu Haohao felt a chill run through her body.
Was that smile a provocation?
After Aunt Xu left, Lin Zhenxin didn’t come back to her senses for a long time.
And the sound of water splashing in the bathroom showed no sign of stopping.
Lin Zhenxin stood at the door, and after a while, finally realized something was wrong and pushed the door open.
The room wasn’t big, so she saw Li Yanan immediately.
He stood in front of the shower, undressed, his lean figure fully exposed to Lin Zhenxin’s eyes.
It was warm inside the room, but the bathroom was devoid of any heat.
As if she realized something, Lin Zhenxin quickly walked to his side, not caring if her clothes got wet, and reached out to touch...
The water was indeed icy cold.
Lin Zhenxin hastily turned off the shower and grabbed a large towel to cover him!
"Li Yanan, what’s wrong with you?" Lin Zhenxin felt a bit scared. Since coming back from the hospital, he seemed like a different person!
What did He Bainian say to him?
What could make Li Yanan become like this?
Li Yanan didn’t speak, his hair drenched and covering most of his face.
Hearing Lin Zhenxin’s voice, he lifted his head to look at her, surrounded by a low pressure full of gloom.
Seeing him in pain, Lin Zhenxin bent down to grab her towel from the cabinet to dry his body, tears welling up in her eyes.
Suddenly, Li Yanan reached out and pulled her into his arms.
His grip was so strong, it was almost as if he was going to break her bones.
"Don’t leave me." His voice was hoarse and magnetic.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I ever leave you?"
Lin Zhenxin thought Li Yanan’s words were unfounded and absurd.
Li Yanan buried his face in the crook of her neck, not speaking for a long time, but not loosening his grip either.
At such a close distance, Lin Zhenxin suddenly noticed his body was covered in marks, as if scrubbed repeatedly with a brush.
"You..." Lin Zhenxin was both angry and upset, angry that he treated himself like this, and upset with herself for not noticing sooner.
"Stay here and wait for me!"
He had come home and immediately went to the shower, naturally not bringing a change of clothes.
With his grandmother in the living room, Li Yanan couldn’t go out looking like this, so Lin Zhenxin had to return to the bedroom to fetch a set of clothes for him.
Quickly, Lin Zhenxin’s figure disappeared by the doorway.
The expression on Li Yanan’s face, brought about by Lin Zhenxin, gradually faded, returning to an emotionless state.
Since being with Lin Zhenxin, he had tried to hide his gloomy side as much as possible.
The life he had led in his early years made his personality increasingly extreme, reveling in the pleasure of walking on the edge.
In fact, Li Yanan could feel it himself; his personality was flawed, yet he forced himself, especially since...
Since marrying Zhenxin, his hostility had gotten much better.
The return of the He siblings, He Bainian and He Nuoxin, however, seemed to ignite a fuse, making Li Yanan increasingly uneasy.
If Zhenxin knew how dirty he truly was inside...
What should he do?
How could he bear the moment of falling from heaven to hell?
Lin Zhenxin quickly returned with clothes.
Li Yanan’s gaze followed her from the moment she walked in.
"Zhenxin, in your eyes, what kind of person am I?"
He suddenly asked, causing Lin Zhenxin’s actions to halt!
He Nuoxin didn’t enter He Bainian’s ward again.
She felt her big brother had changed, become someone she no longer recognized, perhaps swayed by Lin Zhenxin’s influence?
Thinking this, He Nuoxin pouted.
If her brother said he would send her away, then he would really send her away, surely someone would be assigned to follow her to the airport by tomorrow.
Things shouldn’t have developed this way.
She thought.
Indeed, she had been too hasty.
But how could she stay in J City without being sent back to New York by her brother?
This question truly gave He Nuoxin a headache.
She kept fiddling with her phone, her mind recalling Tu Haohao’s face.
She chuckled mockingly.
He Nuoxin could naturally see that Li Chengze liked her, but so what?
Since she was a child, many people had liked her, and Li Chengze was just one of them.
But seeing Tu Haohao’s hurt expression...
He Nuoxin’s lips curled into a meaningful smile, her fingers relentlessly picking at the wound on her wrist.
As if she enjoyed the sensation of pain.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, her expression turning to surprise.
He Nuoxin thought of someone!
That person could surely help her stay!
Lin Zhenxin didn’t expect Li Yanan to ask suddenly, her expression odd.
"To me, you are the best person in the world." She said.
Even though at this moment she hadn’t recalled what kind of relationship they had...
From start to finish, Li Yanan’s kindness, his indulging, and his unconditional tolerance towards her were all seen by her.
You can’t lie about whether someone cares about you; their eyes will betray them!
"I’m actually not that good." He said self-deprecatingly.
"I don’t come from a good background, though now I’m wealthy, in my dreams I still feel deeply insecure."
He once lived like a dog.
Despised and harmed by others, he had once fiercely hated everyone, but ultimately returned to the right path because of her.
"I’m dirty, utilitarian..."
"Li Yanan!" Lin Zhenxin finally couldn’t stand it and interrupted him!
Li Yanan fell silent, his cheeks caught in Lin Zhenxin’s hands, stopping his self-pity!
"That’s not true! None of what you said is true!"
"Look into my eyes." His gaze wandered, but Lin Zhenxin firmly called for him to look at her.
Li Yanan’s eyes finally rested on her face.
Those clear, bright, beautiful eyes, at this moment, met his own.
"I don’t know what He Bainian said to you, but..."
Lin Zhenxin’s expression was resolute, giving Li Yanan no room to evade.
"To me, you are the most wonderful presence in the world!"
Because of him, she could become her best self.
Because of this man, all the hardships she had endured in the first half of her life no longer felt bitter and unbearable.
"You are my man, and without my permission, you are not allowed to sink into gloom!"
Since marrying him, she had gradually transformed, becoming diligent, brave, and confident.
In this world, no other man could bring about such a transformation in her like Li Yanan did.
"Did you hear what I said clearly?"
The handsome face under Lin Zhenxin’s hands was icy, yet she still treasured it.
Li Yanan gazed deeply at her.
As if he wanted to imprint Lin Zhenxin’s words deeply into his heart!
After an unknown amount of time, he finally nodded!
Lin Zhenxin felt as if she had been reborn, taking deep breaths, tiptoeing, and opening her arms to envelop his cold body in her embrace!
When Li Chengze returned home, dragging his exhausted body, the entire villa was dark.
Pitch black, as if there was a power outage!
Everything that had happened today made him feel his own incompetence once again.
Under Li Yanan’s fists, he felt like a child, powerless to fight back.
Such a realization left him utterly defeated.
With a clicking sound, the villa’s lights were switched on, and as Li Chengze turned around, he was startled by the person suddenly appearing behind him.
"Mom!" It was Li Yingying, standing silently under the crystal chandelier.
"Shh..." Li Yingying placed a finger on her lips, signaling Li Chengze to keep quiet.
Li Chengze furrowed his brow, his face bruised, making him appear especially haggard.
"There’s a ghost, don’t startle it!"
Li Yingying turned her face, and Li Chengze was worried, seeing the shadows under her eyes that seemed like she hadn’t slept well for a long time.
"Mom, what’s wrong with you?"
Li Chengze lowered his voice as much as possible.
But Li Yingying acted as if she didn’t hear him at all, silently turning under the chandelier.
After an unknown amount of time, she turned towards the door leading to the villa’s back garden, moving silently like a cat.
A chill settled in Li Chengze’s heart, and he finally decided to follow Li Yingying to see where she was going.
The bitter winter wind was icy and piercing, and Li Yingying’s clothes billowed in the wind, in the darkness, she looked like a ghostly figure.
The Li Family’s garden was tended by professionals, planting flowers in the summer and evergreen plants in the winter, ensuring a pleasing view all year round.
