Li Yanan received a call from Xun Chen.
On the other end of the line, Xun Chen was saying sothing to him, and Li Yanan’s expression beca extrely subtle.
"Have her released on bail pending trial."
That was all he said, nothing more!
In a designer won’s clothing store, inside the fitting room.
Li Chengze waited outside, clearly distracted.
Suddenly, the fitting room door opened a crack.
"Chengze..." a soft voice ca from inside.
Li Chengze grunted in response and, as he approached, a pair of small hands inside had already grabbed his tie...
Pulled him inside.
The door closed again and locked from the inside.
He Nuoxin was wearing only her undershirt, her snow-white arms resting on Li Chengze’s shoulders, standing on tiptoe.
"I’ll go pick up Aunt Li with you, don’t be upset, okay?"
Her fingers slid across Li Chengze’s thin lips as if hinting at sothing.
Li Chengze looked down at He Nuoxin; she was like a cunning little fox, always able to effortlessly stir up one’s thoughts.
But...
The image of Tu Haohao napping on the table, with skin like smooth cream, suddenly popped into his head.
"I..."
Before Li Chengze could finish his sentence, He Nuoxin had already moved forward and kissed him.
In the cramped space, the atmosphere suddenly turned hot.
——Do you like this? Making n surrender beneath your petticoat? Enjoying that feeling?
He Nuoxin coldly laughed in her heart.
Just a backup, nothing more...
Simultaneously with the news of Li Yingying being released on bail pending trial...
Was the T.N.C Group CEO Li Yanan’s action of donating 20 million each in personal and group capacity to local charities for orphans in J City who lost their parents in accidents.
It was like a prairie fire sparked instantly, past events and recent grave-digging incidents were dug up again.
Li Yanan, once dismissed as an insignificant ’illegitimate child,’ suddenly beca the center of attention in J City.
People seed to selectively forget just how much opposition and ridicule Li Yanan faced at the start.
Now, the higher Li Yanan was praised, it signified how unstable, like a stormy sea, the Li Group led by the Li Family was.
And Lin Zhenxin, quite naturally, beca the phoenix seen by everyone as having the good fortune to ascend to new heights.
There was a lot said online, even absurd ideas like her being a Miao Girl capable of witchcraft had people believing.
When Li Yanan returned ho, he saw Lin Zhenxin smiling brightly while holding her phone.
"What are you looking at?"
Changing his shoes, he walked over and sat next to her.
At this ti, Aunt Xu had taken Grandma out for a walk, leaving only the two of them at ho.
"Lemon sent a screenshot, there’s a photo of beating soone with a feather duster last ti, and they’re all calling a ferocious woman!"
Li Yanan frowned, clearly displeased.
"Don’t be upset, just see it as a joke, it’s entertaining!"
Lin Zhenxin reached over to rub his brow, not feeling offended by these reports in the slightest.
"Nonsense."
Li Yanan was referring to those reports.
"We’re going to Xun Chen’s for dinner tonight." He softened his expression before speaking again.
"Okay." Lin Zhenxin continued focusing on her phone until Li Yanan reached over and snatched it away.
"What are you doing?"
She finally looked up at him, a bit impatiently.
Li Yanan said nothing, just looked at Lin Zhenxin.
Lin Zhenxin felt puzzled, reached out to get her phone, but Li Yanan simply wouldn’t give it to her.
After several rounds, her patience finally wore out.
"Li Yanan!"
"If you want to co with , the phone is confiscated!"
With those words, Li Yanan got up and headed toward the bedroom.
Leaving behind Lin Zhenxin, watching his retreating figure...
Just feeling utterly baffled!
Tu Family Mansion.
At this mont, an unmarked local express delivery was delivered to the concierge for collection.
When Tu Wanzi returned from outside, the rectangular paper box lay quietly by the entrance, with her na written as the recipient.
Casually grabbing a letter opener, she opened the box.
A faint fragrance emanated from the box.
Tu Wanzi suspiciously looked down, opened the two flaps, and was slightly taken aback at what she saw.
It was a bouquet of fresh heather!
Exactly the sa as what she had seen on her visit to Lin Jusheng’s grave!
Not knowing how much ti had passed, or what she’d thought of, Tu Wanzi stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning!
With a clatter, the heather, along with the paper box...
Fell heavily to the ground!
Li Yanan’s emotions were indeed inexplicable, and after thinking for a bit, Lin Zhenxin still got up and went into the bedroom.
The soft yellow knit sweater hung loosely on her body, swaying with her steps.
He was changing clothes.
As Lin Zhenxin pushed the door open, Li Yanan had just unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his broad chest.
Seeing her co in, he paused.
Seeing that Li Yanan wasn’t planning to pay her any mind, she walked over and touched him.
With a smack, he lightly slapped the back of her hand.
Sothing seed to have triggered Lin Zhenxin’s nerves, and her mood suddenly plumted, tears falling one by one.
This left Li Yanan totally bewildered!
"You must not love anymore," she said.
As she spoke, she felt more wronged and slowly squatted down, sobbing quietly.
Li Yanan was at a loss, reaching to lift her up, only to be pushed away by Lin Zhenxin.
"You’re like a child," Li Yanan muttered, crouching down in front of her.
"You’ve been acting all weird since earlier and won’t let touch you, you must think I look ugly pregnant..."
Though her hand didn’t hurt, the more Lin Zhenxin thought, the more wronged she felt.
She brushed off the hand Li Yanan reached out with again, then suddenly seed to rember sothing and looked up sharply.
"Give my phone back!"
She hadn’t finished looking at the screenshots Yao Lemon sent earlier.
Li Yanan, expression firm, handed the phone back to her, but before she could speak, she got up and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Seeing she was truly angry, Li Yanan hugged her from behind.
"I’m going to Ctrip!"
Lin Zhenxin replied in a huff.
Li Yanan didn’t react at first, but when he did, a faint smile unconsciously curved his thin lips.
"Be good, don’t be mad." Li Yanan’s chin rested on the top of her head, trying to make the height difference more comfortable.
"Clearly you’re the one who started being difficult with ."
The tears went as fast as they ca, and Lin Zhenxin pouted, making Li Yanan’s expression quite awkward.
"And you yelled at !" she continued.
Li Yanan stayed silent.
"You even hit my hand!" Lin Zhenxin continued to complain.
Li Yanan remained silent.
"You..."
This ti, before Lin Zhenxin could finish speaking, Li Yanan had already turned her around and covered her mouth with his.
She had read it sowhere before.
There are two best ways for a man to shut a woman up.
One is to give her lots and lots of money.
The other is to give her a deep, deep kiss.
Li Yanan suddenly felt that reading more books is definitely beneficial, at least in monts like this it keeps him from being caught off guard.
"Be good, don’t be mad anymore."
"Then tell , what were you upset about earlier?"
Lin Zhenxin coldly snorted, realizing she had been too indulgent lately with him acting all moody.
It indeed proved the old saying...
n can’t be spoiled; if they are, it’s their downfall!
Li Yanan’s expression was genuinely complex, as if he had suddenly been paused.
Not knowing how much ti passed, he cleared his throat.
"Phone."
That was all the explanation he offered.
"Huh?" Lin Zhenxin didn’t get it; what did the phone do to provoke him? Was he venting his anger on her over it?
Li Yanan looked down at her, his lips a straight line like he was struggling with a last bit of resolve.
The two seed to be in an endurance contest, staring each other down to see who was more patient.
"From the mont I walked in, your eyes were glued to the phone. You didn’t even glance at ."
In the end, the one who conceded was truly Li Yanan!
Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but widen her eyes and then...
With a burst, she couldn’t help but laugh!
For this reason, Lin Zhenxin laughed the entire afternoon.
This situation persisted until the two arrived downstairs at Xun Chen’s ho in the evening.
Li Yanan’s face was dark, lips tightly pursed, as if he already knew that his revelation would end this way.
He unbuckled his seatbelt, got out, and went directly to the other side to open the door for Lin Zhenxin.
Lin Zhenxin’s hand reached out from inside, warm and soft, and Li Yanan grasped it firmly.
Pulled her into his arms.
Compared to the last ti eating hotpot at the old courtyard, Xun Chen’s current residence was noticeably more down-to-earth.
The community was located in the center of J City, a tad old, but fortunately, the anities and property managent were quite decent.
Feeling a touch of conscience, Lin Zhenxin glanced at the fruit basket in Li Yanan’s hand, feeling rather complex.
"Given Lawyer Xun’s personality, do you think he might throw us out?"
She couldn’t help but ask.
"No," Li Yanan confidently replied.
"How do you know he won’t?" Lin Zhenxin looked at Li Yanan with a puzzled expression.
"He wouldn’t dare."
Xun Chen awkwardly took the empty fruit basket from Li Yanan’s hand.
"What did you bring?" Xun Chen asked, confusedly looking down.
"A fruit basket," Li Yanan answered impassively, with Lin Zhenxin quietly following behind him, feeling embarrassed.
Simply there for a al, leaving everything else for Li Yanan to handle.
"What about the fruits inside?" Xun Chen asked again.
"Too expensive, couldn’t afford them." Li Yanan said this with utmost seriousness.
Xun Chen was completely floored by his shalessness.
"Your family’s gift-giving is quite extravagant?"
Lin Zhenxin swore that she could definitely hear the heavy sarcasm in Xun Chen’s words.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanan seed like he received a complint, elegantly smiling.
"Thank you for the praise."
After saying this, he led Lin Zhenxin inside.
Leaving Xun Chen glaring after their retreating figures, eyes blazing.
Once inside the apartnt, Lin Zhenxin truly felt what it ant to call it a hidden gem.
She hadn’t expected that Xun Chen’s ho decor style would be like this.
