"Let’s go..."
On Sundays, there are couples everywhere.
It’s also al ti, and everywhere is crowded with people, making it hard to find a place to step.
Lin Zhenxin and Li Yanan walked side by side, one tall, one short.
Lin Zhenxin was looking for a restaurant to eat, while Li Yanan’s entire attention was focused on her.
Her soft fine hand casually swayed at her side.
Was this a hint for him to hold it?
However, she had no idea how much she, without any disguise today, attracted the attention of young girls.
Until even Lin Zhenxin noticed that the frequency of young girls pressing towards Li Yanan was a bit too frequent, she stopped.
Li Yanan also followed suit and stopped.
"Hand." Lin Zhenxin said one sentence as a command, and Li Yanan imdiately reached his hand over.
His long fingers were distinct, attached to his lean big palm, the epito of perfection.
This man, even his hands are so good-looking that it’s enviable!
Thinking this, Lin Zhenxin’s soft little hand fell, slowly stroking until it intertwined with his long fingers.
"Alright." After she spoke, without looking at Li Yanan, she continued to walk forward.
Li Yanan’s gaze fell on their clasped hands, his thin lips curled, yet he wasn’t aware...
In fact, Li Yanan was sowhat puzzled by what Lin Zhenxin was thinking.
He originally thought she would be angry at his ruthlessness; indeed, from her not answering his calls, this was indirectly confird.
Yet, the little woman sitting opposite him and ordering food showed no sign of anomaly.
"I’m going to the bathroom." Hearing this, Li Yanan nodded.
He kept watching Lin Zhenxin as she turned the corner.
Then he withdrew his gaze, not even glancing at the won frequently looking over at him.
Yet, there were a few couples that captured his attention.
Perhaps it was a mont of deep affection, feeding each other or reaching out to wipe grease from each other’s mouths...
Li Yanan discreetly took this all in, lowering his lashes as he waited for Lin Zhenxin to co out.
Lin Zhenxin ca out of the restroom, her hands still wet from washing, and stood at the corner looking at Li Yanan quietly sitting there.
His sitting posture was elegant, his lips tightly pressed, utterly out of place with the noisy surroundings.
Occasionally, girls would steal glances at him, then whisper with their table companions.
Seeing him like this, her heart suddenly softened.
This is Li Yanan!
He hasn’t changed at all, he is who he is!
With this thought, Lin Zhenxin walked back towards their table for two.
Almost simultaneously as she took a step, Li Yanan lifted his head, accurately capturing her position.
The corners of his lips curved into a handso smile.
It was as if he had been waiting for her for a long ti.
With each step Lin Zhenxin took, she could feel her heart pounding wildly.
It’s just a al, why does it feel like filming a romance drama?
She couldn’t help but feel as a woman her vanity was thoroughly satisfied when she caught glimpses of envious glances from other girls out of the corner of her eye.
Soon after, the waitress served their dishes...
Lin Zhenxin felt that Li Yanan seed a bit strange.
He would take a bite, then look at her, as if expecting sothing.
He didn’t have the usual elegance while eating; it even seed a bit deliberate, with grease staining the corner of his mouth.
Lin Zhenxin looked down, mixing her braised pork rice, but her mind was on what Li Yanan could possibly an by this behavior.
Li Yanan felt agitated, but didn’t show it on his face.
He thought perhaps his hints weren’t clear enough, so he tried again, mouthing to her during one of her brief glances up.
This hint... should be obvious enough, right?
Lin Zhenxin’s eyes widened, what was he trying to say? Did she have sothing on her lip?
Subconsciously, she reached out to touch the corner of her mouth, but found nothing.
Li Yanan’s brow furrowed, how could she be this dense?
His spoon clattered onto the table in frustration, losing his appetite.
"Handso boy, why do I feel like you look just like a celebrity? Do you have a girlfriend? Can I have your number?"
Lin Zhenxin hadn’t even fully grasped his sudden mood change when a girl’s voice ca from the adjacent table.
Clearly a student, she looked at Li Yanan with stars in her eyes.
Are students these days really this forward?
"I don’t have a girlfriend." Just as Lin Zhenxin was processing this, she heard Li Yanan speak up.
She looked at him disapprovingly; his magnetic voice made one’s heart lt.
It was obvious; the girl at the nearby table also felt a sense of giddy affection!
The spoon fell from Lin Zhenxin’s hand, eyes glaring at him.
But in the next mont, when no one expected it...
Li Yanan suddenly stood up, propping himself on the table with one hand, grabbing Lin Zhenxin’s chin with the other, leaving her with no place to hide.
He bent down and kissed her!
Lin Zhenxin’s eyes were still in a state of shock!
No one anticipated that Li Yanan would react this way.
The girl who recently found out he didn’t have a girlfriend was completely stunned!
"Indeed, I don’t have a girlfriend, but she is my wife. If I gave you my number, she would get mad!"
Li Yanan’s alluring eyes glanced sidelong at the girl, speaking softly and enticingly!
Walking out of the restaurant, Lin Zhenxin covered her flushed lips, her whole face like a cherry blossom.
Everyone’s gaze had just focused on the two of them; how could anyone finish eating after that?
Though she knew ordinary etiquette was aningless to Li Yanan, she hadn’t expected him to act like that in public; her head still buzzing. But just as she thought about it, she saw Li Yanan expressionlessly seize her hand, interlocking their fingers.
—Indeed, I don’t have a girlfriend, but she is my wife. If I gave you my number, she would get mad!
Turning her head to look at his calm profile, Lin Zhenxin replayed his words in her mind.
"Just now, what was with you getting upset?"
Lin Zhenxin asked nonchalantly.
Li Yanan said nothing, his expression akin to a satisfied beast, which left her amused.
"What have you been holding?" From the fourth-floor food court down to the third floor, Li Yanan suddenly asked.
It was then that Lin Zhenxin rembered she had bought him a shirt.
"For you." She handed him the paper bag, eyes sparkling with anticipation.
She thought he would definitely look good in it when she saw it.
Li Yanan said nothing, reaching out to take it, suppressing the curve of his lips and maintaining his usual composure.
Seeing him not react for a long ti, Lin Zhenxin felt a bit disappointed, unsure if he liked it or not.
"I’m going to the bathroom."
After saying this, Li Yanan carried the bag with the clothes and headed toward the restroom.
Lin Zhenxin sat bored on a bench, fiddling with the unassuming platinum ring on her finger, then touching the corner of her mouth.
A couple passed by holding KFC ice cream cones.
The girl stopped suddenly and nudged her boyfriend with her mouth.
The boyfriend understood, helping her wipe the cream from the corner of her mouth.
Suddenly, as if it ca to her, she glanced toward the restroom.
Could it be that he wanted... in the restaurant just now?
She couldn’t help but laugh. That man, indeed...
Lin Zhenxin waited for a long ti until she finally saw Li Yanan strolling back from the end of the hallway.
He was no longer wearing the original white shirt, but instead the new one she had bought.
Walking slowly, his tall and muscular form like a top male model.
When Li Yanan approached again, Lin Zhenxin snapped back to reality, realizing she had been staring in awe without knowing it.
"The tag wasn’t removed." Li Yanan mumbled, then sat beside her and turned his back, showing her the tag.
Lin Zhenxin said nothing, reaching out to remove the tag for him.
"Where else do you want to go? I never intended to avoid you." Both of them spoke at the sa ti.
Li Yanan was taken aback.
"When I didn’t answer the phone, I had no intention of avoiding you."
Lin Zhenxin spoke calmly.
"I watched TV, and I know it wasn’t irrelevant to you what happened with Shelley..."
"Also, last ti... the email exposing the relationship between the station head and Shelley, it was your doing, wasn’t it?"
Li Yanan looked at her, confirming she wasn’t showing disgust, finally nodding to admit it.
"Xun Chen said, you’re domineering, and ruthless too..."
"You scarcely regard the traditional virtues like etiquette, benevolence, righteousness..."
It was as if the two were cut off from the noisy environnt; Lin Zhenxin’s voice reached his ears clearly.
His long fingers clenched tightly.
"Clearly, in the eyes of outsiders, you did such a cruel thing..."
Li Yanan’s deep eyes darkened, seeming prepared to face whatever ca.
"But I’m not scared of you at all."
Suddenly, Li Yanan abruptly turned to look at her!
As she spoke those words, Li Yanan’s mind went utterly blank!
"What worries most is if sothing goes wrong, what then? If soone grabs hold of sothing to use against you, what then?"
"There won’t be such..." Li Yanan began to reply, but Lin Zhenxin suddenly let out a bitter laugh.
"Were you going to say there won’t be such situations? But no one can guarantee that everything we do will be perfect..."
Looking at the bustling crowd in front of her, Lin Zhenxin sighed.
"I stumbled into your life unintentionally, how can I let you... repeatedly tread in the gray areas for ?" In fact, from a long ti ago, Lin Zhenxin had already known...
Not everything in this world is simply black or white.
"Xun Chen said I wasn’t good enough for you..."
When Li Yanan heard this, a sharpness flashed in his eyes.
As for Xun Chen, driving at the mont, he shivered suddenly.
"I was angry at first, but later, when I cald down, I thought he was right. A kirin is not an object for a pond; you will eventually shed your disguise and beco the brightest person! But what about ?" Lin Zhenxin laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I’m still one of the ordinary majority..."
"I truly am not good enough..." Before Lin Zhenxin could finish, Li Yanan interrupted.
"Good enough, not good enough, how is that asured? Money? Status? Looks?"
"You think you’re not good enough for , but in my eyes, it’s who’s not good enough for you!"
She was so good, a hundred tis purer than him; he wanted so much to protect her carefully in his hand, not letting her face any tribulations.
