"I’m going to wait for Yanan to tell himself."
Lin Zhenxin’s fingers were cold, and Xiang Xiaokui even sensitively noticed that she was slightly trembling.
Even though she hid it well on the surface, her body’s true reactions couldn’t deceive anyone.
"If he doesn’t want to bring it up, I won’t ask. If he wants to tell , then I’m the best listener."
Lin Zhenxin smiled slightly and continued using a cotton pad to wipe the other half of her face.
Ti passed, and finally, Xiang Xiaokui nodded, placing the casual clothes she had brought aside before turning and leaving the lounge.
The mont the door closed.
In the mirror, Lin Zhenxin’s smiling face faded considerably until the smile eventually disappeared.
There was a mont of confusion in her eyes, and her actions stalled.
Her expression gradually mixed with a hint of vulnerability, even the hand holding the cotton pad was trembling.
Staring at her sowhat pale face in the mirror...
For so reason, she suddenly thought of the woman she had searched for in the browser, the one who looked like a princess.
He Nuoxin, really did look like a princess!
Lin Zhenxin stepped out of the lounge, already dressed in new clothes.
Li Yanan, He Bainian, and Jin Muchi were each seated on one side with Xiang Xiaokui, forming three points.
Without speaking, she quietly walked over and sat next to Li Yanan.
Instantly, two pairs of eyes fell on her face.
One was from Li Yanan, beside her.
The other ca from not far away, from He Bainian.
Lin Zhenxin pretended not to see, pulled out her phone to look at the screen, but her thoughts were flying far away.
The room beca even quieter for a mont...
Tu Haohao’s surgical wound on her abdon was gradually healing, and she seed much more spirited.
Her usual pale, swollen face now had a bit of a blush.
"Brother Chengze, have I gained weight?"
From the ti she got in the car till now, Li Chengze hadn’t said a word to her, so Tu Haohao was making an effort to find topics to talk about.
The dicine used in her previous treatnt contained hormones, so Tu Haohao had indeed gained so weight, but it wasn’t too serious.
Li Chengze wore a stern face, silent, while Tu Haohao smiled gently in good humor.
She knew he was in a bad mood.
Because of the wedding date arrangents.
Actually, she could see that he wasn’t very interested in their marriage.
Wanting to ease the atmosphere, Tu Haohao kept desperately chattering topics along the way.
"Aren’t you annoyed?" As the red light ca on, Li Chengze took the opportunity to impatiently glance sideways at her.
Tu Haohao opened her mouth but ended up not saying a word.
With her head lowered, she tried her best to suppress the sourness rising in her heart, telling herself desperately that it was okay, he was just in a bad mood.
After snapping at Tu Haohao, Li Chengze didn’t feel any better; in fact, he felt worse.
The wedding date was set by Li Yingying and Tu Wanzi, and they didn’t even consult him.
Though long accustod to a life where his mother made all the decisions, Li Chengze still felt oppressed by it.
He knew these matters had nothing to do with Tu Haohao, but Li Chengze couldn’t help but take it out on her.
"I..." Li Chengze was about to say sothing when his gaze unexpectedly fell on a figure in the crowd.
A slender silhouette caught his eye.
"Get out of the car!" Li Chengze coldly ordered.
Tu Haohao widened her eyes in surprise, not knowing what was happening.
"I told you to get out of the car!" When he saw her frozen in place, he unbuckled his seatbelt, got out himself, and pulled her out of the passenger seat.
Then, he got back into the car, hit the gas pedal, and drove off chasing that figure...
Tu Haohao stood lonely by the roadside. It was winter in J City, making her shiver involuntarily from the cold.
Her coat and purse were both in Li Chengze’s car, and now she didn’t have a cent on her.
Moreover, she didn’t know why Li Chengze suddenly told her to get out of the car.
Staring in the direction where the car disappeared, Tu Haohao sat quietly on a wooden bench at the bus stop, feeling a sense of grievance and bitterness...
Thirty thousand feet in the air, Lin Zhenxin leaned against Li Yanan and fell asleep peacefully.
She had been having nightmares at night recently, not saying anything when asked during the day, soon resulting in dark circles under her eyes.
Li Yanan reached out and brushed her smooth cheek, the soft sensation making him gradually feel guilty.
He didn’t want He Nuoxin’s issue to disturb her.
However, the strong sense of responsibility made him unable to ignore He Nuoxin’s disappearance, after all...
Back then, if it weren’t for him...
While lost in thought, Li Yanan clearly felt a sharp gaze fall upon him and Zhenxin.
Looking up, he t He Bainian’s deep eyes.
He saw the other man slowly raise a mocking smile.
Li Yanan’s gaze instantly turned icy.
He hated the look He Bainian gave when he looked at Zhenxin, it was a man’s gaze towards a woman.
But soon, He Bainian averted his gaze, closing his eyes to rest.
Since the direct flight to New York, he had hardly slept for those few days, now his fatigue was particularly evident...
They landed in J City, and it was already past six o’clock in the evening.
Xun Chen received the call half an hour earlier and had just arrived at the airport.
Though surprised, he tried not to show much expression when he saw that Li Yanan ca out with He Bainian.
After saying a couple of sentences to Li Yanan, He Bainian turned towards the parking lot.
His car was parked there.
When Lin Zhenxin got into the car, she realized that Jiang Chengzhi was sitting in the passenger seat.
A faint sll of alcohol filled the air.
Her fair, delicate little face was now flushed with a drunken blush, the natural curls of her hair clinging to her face.
She had actually drunkenly fallen asleep!
Xun Chen got into the car awkwardly, catching Lin Zhenxin’s doubtful look through the rear-view mirror...
"She drank herself like this!"
The nationally famous genius lawyer Xun Chen actually felt a little guilty when he said this.
Jiang Chengzhi, in the passenger seat, shifted uncomfortably, trying to undo the top button, but couldn’t manage it.
Xun Chen calmly reached out to help Jiang Chengzhi, revealing a small patch of delicate neck skin.
"Let’s drop Zhenxin off ho first."
Li Yanan got in the car and closed the door, not noticing the strange atmosphere between Lin Zhenxin and Xun Chen.
"Okay, take a look at this docunt first, about the Li Family."
Xun Chen handed the docunt to Li Yanan, turning up the heater.
"Hmm, and also..." Li Yanan first glanced at Lin Zhenxin before continuing.
"He Nuoxin is in J City. Mobilize the subordinate information network and coordinate with He Bainian’s people to find her!"
Xun Chen abruptly stepped on the brake, turning to glance at Li Yanan.
What did he say?
He Nuoxin is back?
The car gradually drove into the city center, as evening lights began to illuminate the streets.
"Wait a mont." Lin Zhenxin suddenly spoke, looking out the window.
Xun Chen glanced at her through the rear-view mirror, and Li Yanan gestured for him to pull over.
The mont the car stopped, Lin Zhenxin opened the door and got out.
Li Yanan followed closely, wearing only a thin shirt but still carrying her coat.
"Tu... Haohao?" Lin Zhenxin called her na hesitantly as she approached.
Tu Haohao abruptly looked up, her small pale face turned blue from the cold.
Upon seeing Lin Zhenxin, she bit her lip, her eyes reddening but holding back tears.
"Sister Zhenxin." Her voice was stiff from the cold.
Li Yanan knitted his brows tightly at Tu Haohao without saying anything.
"Get in the car first." It was Lin Zhenxin who took her coat from Li Yanan’s hand and walked over to drape it over Tu Haohao.
Tu Haohao glanced timidly at Li Yanan and finally nodded...
Li Chengze sped all the way ho.
Li Yingying wasn’t there, but Lu Dawei was sitting in the living room. When he saw him co in, he stood up as if he wanted to speak.
"Get lost." Li Chengze didn’t even look at him, only spoke coldly.
In his heart, from childhood, Lu Dawei was a timid and cowardly figure, so naturally, he never regarded him as a father.
Returning to his room, he lay down on the bed fully clothed.
Could he have seen it wrong? But he clearly saw Nuoxin’s figure at that ti.
But after driving a round, he hadn’t found anything.
Then again, Nuoxin had been in New York for years; it wasn’t possible for her to suddenly return without any word.
He must have been mistaken...
Li Chengze closed his eyes, trying hard to calm the turmoil in his heart.
Knock, knock, knock...
The sound of knocking ca from outside, soon followed by Lu Dawei’s figure appearing through the crack in the door.
"Your Aunt Tu called, saying Haohao isn’t ho yet. Do you know if she’s with you?"
Suddenly, Li Chengze opened his eyes and sat up abruptly!
Tu Haohao isn’t ho yet?
Like realizing sothing, he rushed out the door, headed back to the garage, and opened the backseat.
Sure enough, Tu Haohao’s purse and coat were lying quietly there.
"Damn it!" He hadn’t realized it all along.
Glancing at his wristwatch, several hours had already passed since earlier; could she still be waiting there?
Thinking of this, Li Chengze quickly got in the car.
Started the engine...
Lin Zhenxin didn’t go ho directly. She asked Xun Chen to park the car at the entrance of Xingfu Garden.
She had brought so things from the duty-free shop for Lemon, perfect for delivery first.
Anyway, it seed like Li Yanan wouldn’t be ho until very late tonight.
Lin Zhenxin slightly lowered her eyelashes, gathering all her emotions but showing none on her face.
"Are you going with , or do you want them to take you back?"
Lin Zhenxin thought for a mont before asking Tu Haohao.
"I’ll go with you." Tu Haohao held her arm. To be honest, she was a little afraid of Li Yanan.
"Zhenxin..."
Just before getting out, Li Yanan reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Lin Zhenxin turned to look at him.
Only to see his eyes deep like the sea, gazing at her.
"Co ho early." After a long while, he only said these four words.
There was unspeakable disappointnt in her heart, but she nodded obediently.
"Sister Zhenxin, are you upset?"
Tu Haohao asked as she followed Lin Zhenxin into the complex, sensitively sensing her disappointnt.
"Why were you alone back there?" Lin Zhenxin didn’t answer, changing the subject.
Hearing this, Tu Haohao’s expression darkened, and she recounted the story to her.
"You said Li Chengze left you there alone?" Lin Zhenxin’s expression turned grim upon hearing this.
