My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 63 Do You Understand Him?1
Chapter 63 - 63 Do You Understand Him?1
His gaze lacked any desire between men and women, only filled with intense hostility.
"Don't worry, I'll delete these photos right in front of you," Li Yanan's magnetic voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
"I'm afraid of dirtying my hands."
Even more afraid of these hands tainting Zhenxin.
"Today's event is merely a warning for you." Saying this, Li Yanan began deleting the photos from the camera, one by one.
Of course, he didn't tell Shelley that these photos had long been backed up to the cloud.
Shelley, who felt she had ventured up and down heaven and earth, only felt a chill down her spine. Looking at Li Yanan again, she felt that this man was as terrifying as a demon!
"Li Yanan, you're nothing but a dog of the Li Family!"
With the photos deleted, Shelley's burden was halved, and her voice became sharp again.
There was a click, and the smell of something burning came.
Li Yanan's features, in the firelight, carried an eerie allure; Shelley covered her chest with her hands, watching him warily.
"Didn't you say you wanted a light?" he said.
Soon after, Shelley felt a flash of fire before her eyes; upon closer inspection, it was her silk shirt, set aflame and thrown in front of her!
"For you."
In the firelight, Shelley was so frightened that she couldn't utter a single word...
In the room, the firelight flickered at the door's gap. Hearing this, Lin Zhenxin turned and walked away.
Mr. He had focused all his attention on her; seeing her leave silently, he followed behind.
He hoped to see a different emotion on her face, but was disappointed—there was nothing, as calm as still water.
If there was any difference to be noted...
When she first stumbled into his arms, though she was expressionless, her face was deathly pale, clearly burdened by something.
Now, her calmness had returned to a healthy flush.
"Mr. He, how long do you plan to follow me?" Mr. He was contemplating this when Lin Zhenxin spoke.
He laughed wryly to himself, wondering if this could be considered betrayal after crossing the river?
"Oh, after you," Lin Zhenxin sidestepped to let him pass.
Mr. He remained motionless, his gaze profound as he looked down at her.
"Do you know him? Do you know... the real him?"
Mr. He was very curious, for anyone who heard the previous conversation would sense that something was amiss with Li Yanan.
In fact, compared to what he knew, what had just happened was already Li Yanan's good behavior.
"Does it matter if I know or not?"
Lin Zhenxin looked at him, unable to discern what identity Mr. He took in asking her such a question.
"He's a hundred times more frightening than you imagine!"
Mr. He didn't know why he uttered such words, clearly seeing the displeasure on Lin Zhenxin's face.
Yet, he just wanted her to know, to turn back before it's too late!
"Mr. He!" Lin Zhenxin interrupted impatiently.
He said Li Yanan was a hundred times more terrifying than she imagined!
But Lin Zhenxin only wanted to laugh.
How did he know what she thought of Yanan?
"No matter how much you want to help your sister, no matter how much affection your sister still holds for Yanan... sorry, this man is mine now! We've gotten our marriage certificate recently; he's my lawful husband, and I'm his legal spouse!"
Lin Zhenxin extended her hand, revealing that ring.
Mr. He's expression changed instantly!
Turning somber, oppressive, indescribably terrifying!
Did she just say they got their certificate recently?
Lin Zhenxin, however, didn't concern herself with Mr. He's change. Having said what she wanted, she turned and left.
After all, she had been out too long, and her colleagues were still waiting for her in the room...
Li Yanan didn't care about Shelley's life or death.
When he walked out of the small room, he looked at his hands with some disgust; if possible, he would rather have burned his clothes.
After all, that woman had bumped into him...
With that thought, the feeling of disgust intensified, and a shadow deepened in his eyes.
But soon, Li Yanan stopped in his tracks.
He sniffed lightly in the corridor, feeling more anxious with each sniff.
Why could he smell Zhenxin's scent in this corridor?
Her fragrance was unique; there was no way he could mistake it. Could it be...
Without daring to linger, Li Yanan walked straight ahead.
Yet, just as he neared the room, he saw Mr. He standing in the corridor.
His lack of direction was still not cured to this day.
"You married her? You actually married her?" Mr. He seemed to sense his presence, his gaze sharp as a sword as it fell on Li Yanan.
Li Yanan didn't speak.
"What about Nuoxin? Can you face her upright?" Mr. He grabbed Li Yanan's collar, the veins on his hand bulging.
"She's still waiting for you... and..."
Mr. He's voice stopped abruptly, as Li Miya found him finally and her eyes widened at the scene.
Logic finally came back, realizing this wasn't the best place to talk.
But knowing that Li Yanan was married, thinking back about Nuoxin, Mr. He was ultimately furious.
Li Yanan removed Mr. He's hand from his collar.
Then, without a glance, he brushed past him...
When Lin Zhenxin returned to the room, the atmosphere was slightly strange.
Her colleagues, seeing her return, relaxed a bit, but those brought by Shelley were not so courteous.
"Thought she ran away because she couldn't pay!"
Lin Zhenxin pretended not to hear, precisely as the door was pushed open from the outside, and a few waitstaff came in with fruit platters and other items.
Behind the waitstaff, Li Yanan walked in slowly.
His gaze continuously fixed on Lin Zhenxin as if trying to discern something from her face.
Conversely, Lin Zhenxin, with a slight curve of her lips, smiled like a white magnolia.
Li Yanan's anxiety subsided slightly, he sat down again, only occasionally glancing at her, as if to confirm again and again.
Lin Zhenxin wasn't unaware but deliberately decided to ignore it.
"Where's Shelley? Why isn't she back yet?" A colleague, noticing how long Shelley had been gone, couldn't help but ask.
Just then, Shelley walked back, face pale and with her previously open coat buttoned tightly, revealing no skin.
Everyone sensed something off, but couldn't immediately pinpoint what.
Li Yanan, however, was unconcerned, lost in thought.
Did she actually see? If she did, why was she so calm? But if not, then why...
Why was there a whiff of Zhenxin's scent in the corridor?
Thinking too much, Li Yanan remained silent, quietly emptied the strong liquor in front of him.
When Lin Zhenxin noticed, even the bottle was empty.
"We've about finished eating; there's still an event tonight, we should wrap it up." Sister Wang, experienced as she was, naturally sensed the mood was off, so she tried to lighten the atmosphere seeing everyone had mostly finished eating.
"Bill, please." Li Yanan, stone-faced, called over a server who quickly brought the bill.
"Wait, this... and these... as well as this, all of which they ordered, should be on a separate bill, handed to them."
Li Yanan pointed out several items on the bill and then gestured to the people Shelley had brought.
Silence filled the room, everyone felt awkward, notably the sour look on Shelley's face and the dramatic change on her companions' expressions.
Lin Zhenxin only found it amusing, knowing Li Yanan was drunk, despite how normal he appeared to others.
"Why should we?" Although they ordered the most expensive and best items to impress him, totaling at least several tens of thousands.
Li Yanan gazed at Shelley with a faint smile, causing her to shiver almost imperceptibly.
She quickly snatched the newly issued bill from the server and handed over her credit card.
Silence ensued; no one said anything, no one knew why Shelley suddenly became so amenable.
Li Yanan, meanwhile, with alcohol breath, leaned close to Lin Zhenxin's ear.
"Wife..." The voice wasn't loud, yet Lin Zhenxin felt a shiver, as he had never addressed her like that before.
At this moment, Li Yanan resembled a pet seeking a reward.
"Stop fooling around." She didn't want to blush in front of her colleagues.
With the bill settled, Shelley abruptly stood, face grim, and left the room without a backward glance, taking her cronies with her.
This time she didn't just lose face, but dignity too.
Lin Zhenxin kept watching her leave, saying nothing...
She truly couldn't drive a car.
And since Li Yanan had been drinking, he naturally couldn't drive either.
Helplessly, she let Sister Wang request permission for her absence. Fortunately, with a pre-recorded track, the program wouldn't be absent.
Li Yanan leaned against the leather seat, seemed asleep with closed eyes, but Lin Zhenxin knew he was still awake.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Lin Zhenxin broke the silence.
Li Yanan responded only with heavy breathing, eyes closed in silence.
Was this... a silent protest against her?
After a moment's thought, her hand reached the car door handle. Before she could open it, her wrist was tightly held.
The grip was so firm it seemed to embed itself.
With a wince, she turned back, seeing Li Yanan, who had been pretending to sleep just now, watching her with a tense expression.
"I was going to get you some water," Lin Zhenxin sighed. Did he think she was going to leave him there?
"I'm not thirsty."
After saying this, Li Yanan didn't let go, just kept watching her, causing her heart to soften, her hand leaving the door.
"How do we get home?" He'd drunk quite a lot tonight.
Just thinking about how much he drank while she wasn't watching made her angry.
Plus tonight's bill...
"I could..." Li Yanan initially thought of finding a designated driver.
"No way, don't drink and drive, no driving if you've been drinking!" Lin Zhenxin misunderstood his intention.
The two of them stared at each other for a while, with nothing more said.
Until Li Yanan's brows knitted tightly, causing Lin Zhenxin to look at him worriedly.
"What's wrong?"
"Headache," he whispered, glancing at Lin Zhenxin, looking exactly like a child caught doing wrong.
Honestly, Lin Zhenxin originally thought such an expression didn't suit him, yet despite herself, her heart softened.
"Lie here, let me massage for you."
With her words, Li Yanan already took off his glasses, lying on her lap.
