Lin Zhenxin thought more and more about the intrigue within the wealthy family, making her feel cold.
She didn't know if it was because the wind was too strong, but she was shivering.
"Are you cold?" Li Yanan's voice sounded in her ear, Lin Zhenxin nodded, she was cold both outside and inside.
"Then co into my arms." He smiled, dispelling the gloom from before, returning to his usual self.
Lin Zhenxin only had ti to hear this sentence, and the next mont, she was embraced into a warm hug, the cold scent of pine wafting into her breath.
It was a familiar yet unfamiliar scent to her.
Li Yanan opened his coat, using it to wrap Lin Zhenxin in his arms.
In the chilling weather, his embrace wasn't particularly warm, yet Lin Zhenxin truly stopped shivering.
"Are you warm?" Lin Zhenxin's body was very soft, being held in his arms, it was hard to tell who was warming whom.
"Let's go ho." After a long while, Lin Zhenxin's muffled voice ca.
"Okay, let's go ho." Back to the ho that belonged to the two of them, Li Yanan thought, unwilling to let her go...
Li Miya was very upset.
She didn't even knock, just barged into her brother Li Chengze's room.
Li Chengze was looking at sothing at the desk, when he saw her co in, he slamd the drawer shut, frowning as he looked at Li Miya.
"Brother! You must help !" She plopped down opposite him.
"How do you want to help you?" Li Chengze said irritably.
"I don't care! I like Brother Nian, you have to help !" Li Miya had been spoiled by the whole family since she was a child, her personality arrogant.
"Do you think the world revolves around you?" Hearing her words, Li Chengze laughed in exasperation.
"It does revolve around , so what!" Li Miya raised her chin, her expression proud.
"Also brother, you're not seriously going to marry that Tu Haohao, right?" With a turn of her eyes, she rembered sothing else, pouting her mouth.
"Did she offend you too?" Li Chengze couldn't help but feel a headache.
"You should have seen her timidly apologizing to that bastard for tonight, it made furious!"
Li Miya thought of her ruined beloved car and couldn't help but feel heartache.
Her intention was just to scare that woman, who had spoken rudely to her last ti!
Who knew the bastard would suddenly drive out and scrape her beloved car, she couldn't swallow this anger!
Moreover, that Tu Haohao was like a soft persimmon, she even went to apologize, Li Miya only felt humiliated!
"It's okay to say this in front of today, but don't let it get to mom, okay!"
Li Chengze rarely pulled a straight face, Li Miya mumbled a few words in a low voice, still looking unappeased.
She was the little princess of the Li Family, pampered and spoiled, naturally unwilling to endure any loss!
"You rember, if the Li Family and the Tu Family marry, it's a strong alliance, only beneficial for both families. Tu Haohao is simple and easy to handle, even if she marries here and becos your sister-in-law, you'll still have the right to bully her as a sister-in-law!"
Hearing her brother say this, Li Miya's expression finally improved a bit.
Actually, Aunt Tu is quite nice, it's just that Tu Haohao always helps outsiders rather than her own family, which is really annoying.
It's like she's the only white lotus in the world, such a downer!
"Aren't you waiting for Sister Nuoxin to co back?" As soon as Li Miya finished speaking, Li Chengze's gaze turned cold.
"Sister Nuoxin was really blind to fall for that bastard..."
"Shut up!" Li Miya was startled by her big brother's reprimand, imdiately tearing up.
Li Chengze's expression was as cold as ice, it took him a long while to regain his composure.
"Aren't you afraid of letting mom hear..."
In the Li Family, the existence of that bastard was a taboo that could not be ntioned.
He paused, warning in a deep voice.
"You better curb your spoiled princess temper, think about what Brother Nian would feel if he witnessed that scene tonight! How can a young lady act so crazy!"
What if sothing really happened!
"Got it." Li Miya pouted, feeling a bit wronged.
It was all that bastard's and that woman's fault...
After taking a bath, Lin Zhenxin returned to the room.
The first thing she saw was the man sitting on the balcony sofa with his back to the door.
Li Yanan took the bath first, at this ti his hair was not yet dry, and she didn't know what he was focused on, Lin Zhenxin walked around to take a closer look.
He was wearing headphones, listening to sothing.
The balcony light was off, Li Yanan wasn't wearing glasses, closing his eyes and listening intently, shadowy light surrounding him.
Lin Zhenxin stopped her hair drying actions, looking at him.
She didn't know how long she'd been watching, but she sat beside him, reaching out to take one of his earbuds for herself.
After listening for just a little while, Lin Zhenxin was taken aback.
Li Yanan was actually listening to her program?
"You..." This feeling was so strange, making Lin Zhenxin a bit shy.
"I've always been your loyal listener." Li Yanan took the towel from Lin Zhenxin, covering her head and gently drying her hair.
The balcony was fully enclosed, with the air conditioner on, it wasn't cold, but he was still afraid she might catch a cold.
"I don't believe it." Lin Zhenxin thought he was just flattering her, Li Yanan didn't explain upon hearing this.
He didn't tell her that the words he said weren't ant to flatter her, he really was her loyal listener.
"I didn't expect the night view to be so beautiful here." Unintentionally looking outside, Lin Zhenxin sincerely marveled.
Every day she ca back after two in the morning, washed up and slept, naturally never relaxing to see the scenery outside.
Li Yanan didn't speak, the building they lived in was the king of buildings, naturally the view was the best.
"Before... I an before we knew each other, how did you spend your days?"
She was truly curious.
After being together for so long, Lin Zhenxin could see his life was very routine, routine to the point of... being sowhat dull.
No friends, no colleagues, and no... family...
He always acted independently, going about his business alone.
"Work, eat, sleep." Li Yanan replied.
Sure enough, a monotonous routine, utterly joyless.
"And you?" Li Yanan turned the question back to her.
"Work, eat, sleep." She thought she'd be better, but saying it out loud, she realized it was just as uninteresting.
"Oh, occasionally I take on part-ti jobs!"
Feeling like she won, Lin Zhenxin smiled, her eyes becoming curved like crescent moons.
"Part-ti?" Li Yanan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, part-ti, because I want to save enough money quickly."
As she said this, Lin Zhenxin's eyes were bright, Li Yanan was silent for a mont before speaking.
"Are you short of money? I left my salary card with you..."
"Not really, actually..." Lin Zhenxin seed to want to explain, but for a mont didn't know where to start.
She turned around to rummage through the room, then ca back holding sothing.
It was an old remittance slip, the edges curling and yellowing.
Li Yanan didn't speak, his gaze falling on the remittance slip, deep and distant.
"A remittance slip?"
Tis were changing, nowadays, online remittances and transfers were more common, making remittance slips a rare sight.
"Yes!" Lin Zhenxin nodded, lovingly smoothing the corners.
"When I was at the hardest point in my life, I once thought I couldn't make it."
Recalling the past, Lin Zhenxin rarely showed a bitter expression.
"Thankfully, a kind person helped , although I still don't know who they are, I rember the kindness, so... I've always been saving money, hoping that one day when this person appears in front of , I can say thank you without any debt."
She once told Lemon about this, and Lemon fancifully said that the person must secretly love her!
Lin Zhenxin only treated it as a joke, secretly love her?
She just thought Lemon was poisoned by those stories of domineering CEOs falling in love with her.
"Maybe he remained anonymous because he didn't want you to repay." Li Yanan said.
"That still won't do, I don't like owing people. If it's a debt of gratitude, I'll repay it as best as I can. If it's a debt of money, I ought to pay it back. My mom always said the most important thing is to be clean when living, and above all, never owe others!"
As she spoke, Lin Zhenxin's expression had never been this serious.
"If this person turns out to be a woman, that's fine, but if it's a man, if he appears one day and says... Only if you marry him can you repay this kindness, would you be willing?"
Li Yanan's face was shrouded in shadow, now having a sowhat stern expression.
Lin Zhenxin only now felt his emotional swing, was this... jealousy?
"You've said so many ifs, then I'll co up with an if too. If this person is a man... If this person is very handso... If he's very rich... If..."
Before Lin Zhenxin could finish her 'ifs', she was suddenly pressed onto the sofa by Li Yanan.
His breathing was heavy, his eyes were like dark iron, staring straight at her.
"No matter how many ifs there are, I'm still your wife."
Lin Zhenxin knew if she teased him any longer, he'd truly be angry, so she quickly reined in her playful heart.
"No one can take you away?" His frost-covered features finally relaxed a bit, but after a long ti, he still asked this question.
At this mont, Lin Zhenxin really regretted making this joke.
"No one can take away!" Being pinned like this, her neck was really uncomfortable.
"Even if the other person is richer, more handso, even if he has as much kindness towards , I already have Yanan, and others..."
Lin Zhenxin boldly looked at him.
"Can't catch my eye at all!"
Li Yanan remained motionless for a long ti, maintaining this posture, only quickly turning his face away, not looking at her.
Even so, Lin Zhenxin clearly saw his ears turning red, gradually spreading.
"If you keep pressing on , I won't be able to breathe soon." Lin Zhenxin coughed slightly, using this action to cover her embarrassnt.
But speaking of this, she suddenly rembered being wrapped in his vine-like cuddles every morning till she awakened.
"Did you know that you hold every night?"
As Lin Zhenxin spoke, Li Yanan reached out and pulled her into his arms, their white earphone cords getting tangled up.
The way she spoke sounded a bit ambiguous, what with a hint of intimacy?
"I didn't an it that way, I ant... you sleep holding every night, too tight, and I..."
The more Lin Zhenxin spoke, the more tongue-tied she beca, turning red all over in the end, she decided to stop talking, looking at him expectantly.
