If it weren’t for the seatbelt still fastened, she would have been thrown from her seat!
Li Chengze brought the car to a screeching halt in the middle of the road, as if he had no regard for his life.
"You’re insane!" Tu Haohao finally managed to see clearly.
The next second, Li Chengze’s hand reached around the back of her neck, forcefully pulling her towards him.
With a violent force, he skillfully covered Tu Haohao’s soft lips.
Tu Haohao opened her eyes wide in shock...
The screeching sound of brakes was deafening.
The incident happened too suddenly, Lin Zhenxin staggered and fell onto the road, an SUV stopping just a step away!
The driver rolled down the window, clearly shocked.
Luckily, it was a red light and everyone had slowed down, otherwise... the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.
Lin Zhenxin, still shaken, looked at where she had been standing, she...
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but soone seed to have pushed her from behind!
But now, all she saw were bystanders watching the scene, no one else in sight.
Was it just her imagination?
The driver quickly got out of the car, helped her to the side of the road, repeatedly asking if she needed to go to the hospital.
Lin Zhenxin politely refused.
She was fine, just a bit shaken, resting would be enough.
The driver hesitated, as if wanting to say sothing, but eventually said nothing, heading back to his car.
Lin Zhenxin sat for a while longer, intending to get up, but found her ankle hurting badly.
Misfortune never cos alone, she must have twisted her ankle when she fell earlier.
She regretted not agreeing to let Gu Daxiong take her straight ho.
"Hey, miss." The SUV driver returned.
"I feel I should tell you, earlier..." The driver looked troubled, hesitated, and then continued.
Lin Zhenxin stared blankly at him, wondering what he wanted to say.
"I saw soone in white behind you, reaching out... and pushing you."
He saw it purely by accident, otherwise, the driver wouldn’t have been alert enough to brake in ti.
Lin Zhenxin suddenly looked up!
So it wasn’t her imagination, soone had indeed pushed her from behind?
Lin Zhenxin ended up being driven ho by that driver.
Because of her twisted ankle, she limped back ho.
Aunt Xu was surprised to see her return, and her grandma rushed over, catching her off guard and causing her ankle to twist again.
The pain took her breath away.
Aunt Xu only then noticed her swollen ankle.
She quickly got up to fetch so dicinal oil.
"What happened? Where’s Mr. Li?" Aunt Xu asked with concern as she helped Lin Zhenxin sit down.
Lin Zhenxin just smiled and said nothing.
"Xinxin, it hurts..." Her grandma’s face was full of concern.
"It’s nothing, Aunt Xu got it for , let her go ho early today."
Lin Zhenxin took the dicinal oil from Aunt Xu’s hand, smiling without a flaw.
The two talked a bit more, and Aunt Xu eventually left after urging her.
Soon, it was just Lin Zhenxin and her grandma at ho.
Her grandma held onto Lin Zhenxin’s foot, looking anxious, while Lin Zhenxin, seeing this, felt her own fear fade.
She couldn’t let her grandma worry.
Before long, Lin Zhenxin perked up and coaxed her grandma to sleep.
She hopped on one leg to the bathroom, quickly washed away the day’s dust, and when she ca back out...
Staring at the empty living room, her heart felt just as empty.
Maybe she had gotten used to Li Yanan’s company, lying alone in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Finally, she got up, grabbed a book, and lay on the couch in the living room.
Not knowing how long had passed, she slowly drifted off to sleep...
Li Yanan returned ho just before two in the morning.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the dim yellow wall light in the living room and the air filled with a fresh scent of bath lotion.
The thin lump on the sofa caught all his attention.
Lin Zhenxin was covered with a thin blanket, her pajama collar slightly open, revealing smooth skin.
After her bath, her tender skin looked as if it could be pinched to reveal water, and perhaps due to the warm air, her cheeks were faintly flushed.
Li Yanan quietly watched her, not knowing how long passed, before leaning forward to gently kiss her.
Having left He Bainian, he felt an indescribable exhaustion.
Li Yanan had noticed how distracted He Bainian seed after receiving that phone call, like sothing was weighing on his mind.
But since he didn’t want to talk about it, Li Yanan naturally wouldn’t ask.
Lin Zhenxin awoke slowly, those familiar peach blossom eyes looking at her with complexity, making her montarily dazed.
Not to ntion the gentle touch on her lips.
"Hiss..." She accidentally touched her ankle, and her face changed with the pain.
"What’s wrong?"
Li Yanan sensed sothing was off, instinctively lifting the thin blanket, quickly finding her ankle swollen like a bun.
"It’s nothing, I just twisted it tonight." Lin Zhenxin dodged his large hand reaching out to grab it.
Unintentionally touching it again, the pain made her almost cry.
Li Yanan frowned deeply, accidentally knocking over the bottle of dicinal oil on the coffee table, making a dull sound.
"Don’t move." He spoke in a low voice.
Lin Zhenxin obediently listened, allowing him to kneel on the ground, reaching out to hold her swollen ankle.
"Mmm..." It was truly painful.
"How did you twist it?" Li Yanan poured the oil into his palm, warming it.
Lin Zhenxin pretended not to hear, not speaking.
In truth, she didn’t know how to describe what happened tonight.
It was just like sothing out of a TV drama.
"It might hurt a bit." Li Yanan thought for a mont and decided to warn her.
Lin Zhenxin slowly nodded, and almost imdiately, Li Yanan’s large hand was already on her ankle!
"It hurts..." Even though Li Yanan had warned her, the piercing pain still brought tears to her eyes.
Li Yanan acknowledged her with a hum.
He knew it hurt, but there was no other way.
If it wasn’t this painful now, her foot would be worse tomorrow.
Lin Zhenxin didn’t want to wake her grandmother sleeping in the bedroom, so she gritted her teeth to endure it.
But Li Yanan’s grip was strong, and her ankle’s pain numbed her leg.
She suddenly sat up, dashing into his arms, biting into his neck’s artery.
It was like venting!
Li Yanan paused, then quickly resud his actions.
The warm breath on his neck mixed with Lin Zhenxin’s whimpering, like a wounded little beast.
The sharp pain gradually turned into a dull ache.
Lin Zhenxin wrapped her arms around his neck, nestled in Li Yanan’s embrace.
"Tonight..." Lin Zhenxin hesitated, unsure how to tell Li Yanan about the night’s events.
She opened her mouth several tis but eventually swallowed back the words.
"Did she find her?" Lin Zhenxin ultimately changed the subject.
Li Yanan shook his head; his expression indicated he preferred not to discuss it.
Lin Zhenxin could see it, her eyes slightly dimd.
"She’ll find her." Besides this, Lin Zhenxin really didn’t know what else to say.
"Yeah, I’ll take you to bed in a bit."
"Okay."
He Bainian’s face was grim.
Especially after learning what the Investigation Agency associated with the He family had been tasked by his sister to investigate today.
No one knew how shocked he was when he answered that call in front of Li Yanan.
Nuoxin was actually investigating Lin Zhenxin, and especially tonight...
If Li Yanan found out, he would never let her get away with it.
He thought for a mont, then picked up his phone and made a call.
"Erase all the surveillance footage from Bar Street tonight for !"
Just in case, He Bainian couldn’t allow anything that could harm He Nuoxin to exist.
"Quickly!"
After his words, He Bainian hung up the call.
He stood at the large floor-to-ceiling window, the clean glass reflecting his lonely figure.
— Today is my wedding day, no one can take my husband away from !
— No one!
Lin Zhenxin’s image flashed in his mind, making He Bainian’s expression a bit dazed.
She was indeed still the sa as before.
As he thought this, he was unexpectedly interrupted by the doorbell.
Glancing at his watch, it was already past three in the morning. Who could it be?
He slowly walked over to open the suite’s door, only to be taken aback when he saw who stood outside...
Li Yanan ca to bed after showering, and Lin Zhenxin wasn’t asleep yet.
She kept moving her ankle, her face occasionally showing surprise.
"What are you thinking?" Li Yanan lifted the blanket and got in, looking much more refreshed.
"It doesn’t hurt anymore."
Earlier, even a slight movent caused piercing pain, but now, though still noticeable, it wasn’t as unbearable as before.
Li Yanan chuckled wryly, as if to say, was I giving you a fake massage?
"How did you et her?" Lin Zhenxin whispered sideways, looking at his smiling face.
Who ’she’ referred to was obvious without needing to be said.
Li Yanan seed surprised that Lin Zhenxin would bring up He Nuoxin, pausing briefly.
"He Nuoxin is He Bainian’s sister." Naturally, he t her through He Bainian.
"And you and her..."
"Zhenxin..." This ti, before Lin Zhenxin could finish, Li Yanan interrupted.
"Between He Nuoxin and , it’s not as people imagine. When the ti is right, I will explain it to you clearly... okay?"
Li Yanan’s deep gaze t Lin Zhenxin’s.
Lin Zhenxin didn’t speak further, simply nodding obediently, hiding her inner disappointnt.
"I’m tired, let’s sleep."
After speaking, Lin Zhenxin turned, offering her back to Li Yanan, and spoke softly.
Li Yanan looked at her back, his gaze deepening, not knowing how long had passed...
He turned off the light, pulled her back to face his chest, and embraced her!
He really had no idea how to begin the conversation with Zhenxin.
For Li Yanan, this matter was extrely shaful and helpless.
Zhenxin, I’m sorry!
This is the one thing I... don’t want you to know!
He Nuoxin shivered from the cold, her face turning blue.
J City was already in winter, and beneath her white down jacket, she wore only a long dress.
