My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 45: It Will Make You the Laughingstock

Lin Zhenxin's little temper flared up quickly and went away just as fast.

In fact, it rarely happens, she doesn't know what got into her today.

"When do you have time? I'd like to treat my colleagues to dinner tonight; it's a tradition at the station."

"You're willing to let me show up in front of your colleagues?"

Hearing her take the initiative to talk to him, it seemed she was no longer upset about the incident at the supermarket, and Li Yanan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why not?" Lin Zhenxin looked at him in confusion. It's not like they're doing anything wrong; they are a legitimate couple, right?

"My outfit and my identity might cause you to be laughed at."

Li Yanan was very direct, and upon hearing this, Lin Zhenxin's eyes widened instantly. This was his concern?

"My dear Mr. Li, why not bring out the spirit you had when you were swinging that chair and smashing the glass earlier?"

She was so amused she laughed, even teasingly using his surname.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Li Yanan's expression became subtly different, appearing somewhat strange to Lin Zhenxin.

"What's wrong?" She thought she might have reminded him of something unpleasant.

"The way you just called me made me..." Li Yanan didn't finish his sentence, but during a stop at a traffic light, he took the opportunity to hold her hand down. The next second, Lin Zhenxin pulled her hand back sharply, looking at him with disbelief!

What did she just do?

She just said a sentence, right?

"From now on, don't show that expression to any other man, or speak to them in that tone."

"..." Lin Zhenxin had never felt as she did now, realizing how complex men could be.

"One more thing." Suddenly, Li Yanan seemed to remember something.

"Hmm?"

"No matter the occasion, stay away from He Bainian!"

Li Yanan suddenly recalled the way He Bainian had looked at Lin Zhenxin before.

"Don't worry, he dislikes me. I wouldn't approach him willingly either."

Recalling their previous unpleasant conversation, Lin Zhenxin didn't have a good impression of He Bainian.

Li Yanan said nothing. Dislike?

She still just doesn't understand men well enough!

The next morning, Lin Zhenxin awoke feeling warm in the vine-like embrace.

She opened her eyes, feeling a bit thirsty. Li Yanan was sleeping soundly; when she moved slightly, he held her even tighter, preventing her from moving.

At first, Lin Zhenxin thought he was awake and doing it on purpose.

But she gradually realized she had misunderstood him; it was purely reflexive.

"Li Yanan, I'm thirsty." Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Zhenxin pushed against Li Yanan's chest.

Although it wasn't the coldest time yet, Lin Zhenxin feared the cold and kept the air conditioning on every night, so she'd wake up thirsty in the morning.

"Bedside." Li Yanan didn't open his eyes, only rasping out two words.

Lin Zhenxin looked up and indeed saw there was a cup of water within arm's reach.

She paused, speechless for quite a while.

Lin Zhenxin was silent for so long that Li Yanan noticed. Though not fully awake, he opened his eyes to look at her.

Seeing her stunned, he didn't say a word, just handed the water to her lips.

"Open your mouth."

Lin Zhenxin snapped back to reality, initially wanting to take the cup, but in the end, she sipped it bit by bit.

The water was mixed with honey, and though it had cooled, it was perfect to quench the dry heat, the sweetness permeating to her heart.

"It's only six, let's sleep a bit more." After finishing the water, Lin Zhenxin placed the cup back, and Li Yanan closed his eyes again, pulling her into his arms, finding the most comfortable position to nestle her in.
