Lin Zhenxin quickly reached out to steady her.
"Thank..." The words had just left Chu Xingguang’s mouth when she caught sight of Lin Zhenxin’s face, and her expression showed a hint of surprise.
Lin Zhenxin smiled just as Li Yanan returned.
Seeing the situation, although Lin Zhenxin said nothing, it was clear what had just happened.
Chu Xingguang looked at Li Yanan and then at Lin Zhenxin, finally settling her gaze on Jiang Dongting’s face.
It seed she already understood sothing.
However, before she could speak, the door of the ergency room was pushed open from the inside.
The doctor walked out.
Just as Lin Zhenxin had speculated, Little Qilin was fine, having just eaten too much of a mixture of foods, resulting in acute enteritis.
Taking advantage of this mont, Li Yanan walked up to Jiang Dongting.
He handed over clothes and his wallet together.
Jiang Dongting only realized he had forgotten his wallet in a rush after reaching the hospital, which prompted him to call Li Yanan.
Without saying a word, Li Yanan glanced at Lin Zhenxin.
Lin Zhenxin imdiately returned to his side.
The two of them walked toward the outside of the hospital.
Even after getting in the car, Lin Zhenxin was still absorbed in the slap from Chu Xingguang.
"I never expected Jiang Dongting to have such a side."
Recalling the scenes in Vietnam, every ti she saw Jiang Dongting, Lin Zhenxin only had one feeling.
And that was...
Cold!
But the colder the man, the more terrifyingly lethal he seed when emotions were involved.
Looking at the way Jiang Dongting gazed at Chu Xingguang...
As Lin Zhenxin pondered, she beca more curious about what could possibly have led the two to reach such a point.
"Brother Jiang has a lot of burdens to carry and tends not to show his emotions, but it doesn’t an... he doesn’t have feelings."
Li Yanan thought for a mont and finally said this.
Lin Zhenxin nodded.
The road wasn’t blocked anymore, but there was a traffic accident ahead being dealt with, so progress was slow.
Li Yanan turned his head to look at Lin Zhenxin.
She had left in a hurry this morning, only washing her face before following him out.
Her hair was tied up casually on the way to the hospital.
The ponytail at the back of her head made her appear younger.
At this mont, as Lin Zhenxin watched the halting traffic outside the window, she recalled last night’s events in her mind again.
She hesitated about whether or not to tell Li Yanan about being pushed.
"Why are you looking at ?" She turned back casually, only to see Li Yanan still watching her.
"What were you thinking just now?"
Li Yanan smiled, not answering her imdiate question.
Unexpectedly, his offhand question made Lin Zhenxin pause.
"I..."
Before she could finish, Li Yanan’s phone rang again, disrupting the flow.
Lin Zhenxin swallowed the words she was about to say, her expression turning cold when she saw the caller ID on his phone.
It was Li Yingying?
Li Chengze hadn’t gone to the office.
While Li Yingying went upstairs to make a phone call, he stared blankly at He Nuoxin, who sat not far away.
When did she co back?
For what reason?
He had countless questions, but couldn’t bring himself to ask any of them.
At this mont, He Bainian also received a call, looked silently at He Nuoxin, and walked to the balcony to answer it.
In the living room, only Li Chengze and He Nuoxin were left.
"Chengze, I heard you’re engaged, haven’t had the chance to congratulate you yet."
He Nuoxin’s long hair had been redone, her attire elegant and the light scent of custom perfu was intoxicating.
Li Chengze suppressed the urge in his heart, trying hard to maintain a facade of calm.
"There’s nothing much to congratulate for," he said flatly, without expression.
"You always liked to follow , but..."
He Nuoxin held a cup of tea, sipping it delicately, her every movent exuding the deanour of a noble lady.
She smiled, not pursuing the topic further.
But Li Chengze felt his heart itch, like it was being scratched by a cat’s claw.
"Nuoxin, I am still , I won’t change, even if I marry, I will still prioritize your matters!"
Li Chengze spoke urgently, startling He Nuoxin who looked at him in a daze.
Her beautiful eyes reddened slightly.
"Really?" He Nuoxin’s red lips parted slightly, her voice choked.
Li Chengze hadn’t thought his words would provoke such a reaction from He Nuoxin, and he was montarily at a loss to reply.
After a brief pause, He Nuoxin quickly composed herself, regaining the deanor of a noble lady.
"I swear." Li Chengze promised.
"Back then, didn’t you get angry with because of soone nad Juzi?"
He Nuoxin laughed as she spoke, her eyes fixed on Li Chengze, who upon hearing the long-forgotten na, his expression dimd.
"Why not invite your fiancée tonight, let take a look?"
He Nuoxin, wearing several strands of amber beads on her wrist, which set off her fair skin beautifully.
Li Chengze paused, an image of Tu Haohao’s angry, flushed face from last night’s forced kiss flashing into his mind.
"Alright."
He finally said.
He Bainian returned from his phone call, resuming his seat, visibly preoccupied.
"Brother, have so tea." He Nuoxin, holding a tea cup, spoke softly, a world away from the woman who had seed ready to self-destruct the night before.
He Bainian said nothing, rely reached out to take the tea...
Li Yanan drove directly to the new location of the T.N.C. Group.
Years ago, Li Yanan had chosen this site, and from purchasing the land to planning and constructing such a modern facility...
The effort involved was unimaginable.
But at this mont, Lin Zhenxin had no ti for awe.
After finishing the call with Li Yingying, Li Yanan remained silent throughout the drive.
She faintly heard Li Yingying’s sharp voice, and also caught the words ’dinner,’ could it be...
To be honest, Lin Zhenxin thought Li Yingying was sowhat pathological.
Despite trying everything in Vietnam to ensure Li Yanan’s demise, she now had the audacity to call.
Li Yanan got out of the car first, lighting a cigarette between his fingers.
He didn’t smoke, just held it between his fingers.
"You..." Lin Zhenxin followed him out of the car.
"He Nuoxin has returned."
Before Lin Zhenxin could speak, Li Yanan had already said this...
Night fell.
The Li Family was brightly lit.
Tu Haohao was brought by the Tu Family’s driver, carrying gifts in her hands.
She seed sowhat unwell, coughing continuously after getting out of the car, and her face was slightly flushed.
"Miss, be sure to call if anything happens."
The speaker was an old driver who had worked for the Tu Family for decades.
Tu Haohao had developed a fever since last night.
However, upon receiving Li Chengze’s call, she mustered up the strength to go out.
To hide her fatigue and illness, she applied a simple, clean makeup to appear healthier.
"Alright." She responded with a well-behaved smile to the driver.
Just as she was about to move forward, a car’s headlight tore through the silent night, illuminating everything like daylight.
Tu Haohao subconsciously turned to see an expensive top-spec Range Rover approaching slowly.
Soon, soone opened the car door and got out.
Tu Haohao’s almond eyes widened in surprise, and then she showed a soft, sweet smile.
"Sister Zhenxin."
The person who got out was indeed Lin Zhenxin.
"You look different today." Tu Haohao walked over and whispered.
Indeed, Lin Zhenxin looked quite different tonight.
A sleek black bodycon dress paired with a cal-colored coat, her long black hair cascading softly behind her, her every move exuded an indescribable comfort.
"Not good?" Lin Zhenxin had just spoken when Li Yanan had already parked the car and walked to her side.
Li Yanan gave Tu Haohao a glance, maintaining his usual silence.
Tu Haohao instinctively shrank back when she saw Li Yanan.
She was quite afraid of Li Yanan.
Although he restrained his sharpness around Sister Zhenxin, intuition told Tu Haohao he was both dangerous and frightening.
The maid was already waiting by the villa’s entrance.
Seeing the three of them approaching, she respectfully opened the door wide.
At this ti, it was already winter in J City, but the villa was as warm as spring.
At the entrance, Tu Haohao and Lin Zhenxin took off their coats, handing them to the maid.
Before they could enter the living room, they vaguely heard the sound of piano playing.
The further inside they went, the clearer it beca.
Lin Zhenxin instinctively looked at Li Yanan, his handso face expressionless, tightly drawn with sharp lines.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, he turned his head, their eyes eting.
Tu Haohao finally sensed sothing was wrong.
She instinctively looked toward the woman sitting at the piano.
Beautiful, as if untouched by the mundane world, exuding elegance and poise with every move.
Seed very familiar.
Tu Haohao pondered silently and looked at Li Chengze, whose gaze was fixed on that woman.
With an enamored look.
"Brother Yanan..." Suddenly, the piano music stopped abruptly, replaced by a surprised female voice.
As if breaking the spell of a dream.
The woman who had been sitting at the piano stood up swiftly, striding quickly towards Li Yanan.
It was He Nuoxin!
Upon seeing the woman’s face, Tu Haohao finally realized her identity!
"I finally see you again!"
Since Li Yanan entered, He Nuoxin’s gaze had never left him.
As a fellow woman, Lin Zhenxin could very clearly see the infatuation and fervor in He Nuoxin’s eyes.
This made her very displeased.
A sense of intrusion on her territory.
"Miss He..." Almost at the sa ti as she felt this, Lin Zhenxin took a step forward...
Deliberately blocking He Nuoxin’s path!
Lin Zhenxin and He Nuoxin faced each other.
This was also their first real encounter.
He Nuoxin carefully observed Lin Zhenxin, her large eyes full of curiosity.
As He Nuoxin examined Lin Zhenxin, Lin Zhenxin was also examining her.
This was the real He Nuoxin, not the cold description from a computer screen, but a living, breathing person.
If even her photos looked so good, then seeing her in person, Lin Zhenxin could feel only one thing.
That was...
Beautiful!
Truly beautiful!
"Mr. He Bainian’s sister, Miss He Nuoxin, right? I’ve heard a lot about you."
Lin Zhenxin smiled lightly, though she didn’t extend her hand, just looked at He Nuoxin like this.
