My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 64 Do You Understand Him?2

Lin Zhenxin pressed her hand against his temple with just the right amount of pressure, making him almost unable to resist letting out a moan of comfort.

But Li Yanan held back, opened his eyes, and just looked at her like that.

At first, Lin Zhenxin could pretend she didn't see it, but as the gaze became more brazen, she couldn't keep up the pretense.

Meeting his deep, dark eyes.

Because of the intensity in Li Yanan's gaze, Lin Zhenxin's heart grew increasingly erratic.

"Don't look at me." She reached out to cover his eyes, blocking out those disturbing eyes.

But in the next second, Li Yanan reached out, grabbed her hand that was covering his eyes, and held it in his palm, then brought it to his lips, kissing it again and again.

"I didn't embarrass you, did I?" Just as Lin Zhenxin's palm itched unbearably and she wanted to pull away, she heard Li Yanan's voice in her ear.

She was momentarily stunned, looked down at him, and when she was sure he was dead serious, she felt an indescribable sourness in her heart.

How was she supposed to respond?

"Fool." Two words that left Lin Zhenxin's throat feeling dry.

Did you see it?

With his eyes closed, Li Yanan tried several times to ask the question aloud, to calm his restless heart.

But ultimately, he didn't have the courage to voice it.

"Kiss me, consider it my reward." Li Yanan's breathing was heavy, his mouth full of alcohol, a smell Lin Zhenxin usually hated the most.

Yes, Lin Zhenxin hated the smell of alcohol, more than ever.

Yet now, Li Yanan, who was reeking of booze, she had no thought of escaping from.

He wanted her to kiss him, so she did.

But her movements were still so clumsy.

Lin Zhenxin nervously closed her eyes and leaned towards him, forgetting where his mouth was, and secretly opened a slit in her eyes to search.

This sight made Li Yanan laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" she couldn't bear it and forcefully bumped her lips against his, mostly out of spite.

Gradually, the spiteful intention faded away.

In a daze, Lin Zhenxin felt as if she, too, was getting drunk with him.

"Zhenxin." Li Yanan dared not look at her, yet couldn't bear not to.

Lin Zhenxin said nothing, but before she could figure out what to do next, the man's large hand firmly pressed against the back of her head.

Her hair was wild all over his face.

However, Li Yanan liked it a lot, that feeling brushing against his face, to him, felt particularly real.

Who knows how much time passed, but when they separated, Lin Zhenxin's entire face was embarrassingly red.

Neither could recall who started laughing first, but once they both realized, they were laughing joyously like children.

Perhaps it was remembering the unpleasant faces of the people Shelley brought, or maybe it was thinking about something else...

"Shall we take the subway home?"

On the subway, Li Yanan leaned against her and fell asleep.

Since they married, Lin Zhenxin had rarely seen him like this.

Normally, Li Yanan was stable and reliable, a presence like a father or brother.

He said he was ten years older than her, and that it should be this way.

The child across from them was making a fuss, and the parent just glanced over without stopping him, much to the annoyance of the other passengers.

But Lin Zhenxin, putting her finger to her lips, hushed softly.

The child made a big face at her instead, causing an even bigger ruckus.

Lin Zhenxin was a bit helpless, but in the next second, the child opposite was struck dumb, staring at her shoulder direction with a trembling mouth and eyes red and almost on the verge of crying!

This change was quite surprising.

Instinctively, she looked towards her shoulder, but Li Yanan was still sleeping with his eyes closed as before, nothing had changed.

Just now, that child's face... What did it mean?

While she was thinking about it, the child suddenly cried out and hid in his mother's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

No matter how she tried to calm him, it was useless.

The expression on that uncle's face was so scary, so scary, so scary...

He never wanted to take the subway again...

He Bainian ditched Li Miya and the others to return to the hotel. Despite his anger, his expression was completely composed.

No one could see his true emotions.

But when he returned to his room, he suddenly punched the mirror in the bathroom.

With a bang, the mirror cracked into a spiderweb!

He Bainian's hand was dripping with blood as he looked up at his reflection, distorted and fragmented.

Exiting the bathroom, he returned to his expressionless state, turned on the answering machine as he passed by the phone.

"Brother, is Brother Yanan doing okay? You've been gone so long without bringing me any news, are you forcing me to come back personally?"

After several meaningless messages, a familiar female voice rang out.

He Bainian's previously calm emotions fluctuated again, and there was an unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

Soon, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Soon, the call connected...

For now, she still cannot know about Li Yanan's marriage...

The moon was cold, the wind was clear.

After getting off the subway, they still had to walk a distance to get home.

"Actually, I don't have a good temper."

Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin heard Li Yanan's voice; the alcohol had faded a lot, but he was still drunk.

"To be precise, it's very bad."

He chuckled self-mockingly, the exquisite face beneath his glasses, upon a closer look, was actually colder than moonlight.

Lin Zhenxin said nothing.

"Zhenxin, everyone has two sides, but some people hide it deeply, some people hide it shallowly."

She remained silent, and Li Yanan's voice seemed to fade into the wind.

Seeing Lin Zhenxin never responded, Li Yanan stopped walking.

Lin Zhenxin looked back at him, only to see his breath turning into white mist, very rapid.

"Oh." He wanted her to respond, she did; was he happy?

"You..." She was clearly being perfunctory!

"Yanan, I'm the same way." Before Li Yanan could finish, Lin Zhenxin had cut in.

Everyone has two sides.

So when facing colleagues or confronting Li Yanan, Lemon, and others, she's also different.

"Tonight, you definitely saw it." Li Yanan laid bare the words.

Lin Zhenxin was silent again.

She was too smart a woman, Li Yanan thought.

And it was precisely because of that, when she picked up on things, she pretended to know nothing, just like when she first saw him take off his glasses.

"Do you know why Mrs. Li found me a psychiatrist?"

Originally, Lin Zhenxin thought he was going to expose tonight's events in the open, but he changed the subject and talked about something else.

Having stopped his steps, he resumed walking again.

"When my mother was fished out from under the bridge, a day and night had passed, and her body was unrecognizable."

Li Yanan said, a cold wind blowing from behind, messing up Lin Zhenxin's long hair, as well as her heart.

"She was truly unrecognizable." He repeated those four words.

"The smiles of the past no longer exist in my mind, only a swollen, waterlogged, bluish-white face."

When he said this, his expression didn't change at all, as if he were describing stray cats and dogs by the street.

Cold winds surged from all directions, carrying an ineffable eerie atmosphere.

"She was sent to the funeral home immediately."

The piercing cold seeped into her heart through her fingers.

Although Lin Zhenxin had read about the secrets of wealthy families online, hearing it firsthand still gave her a bone-deep chill. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Did you know that a body leaks water after death?"

When Li Yanan said this, he looked down at his own hands, the smell of alcohol lingering around them, blurring the line between truth and drunken talk.

"Do you know what the stench of a corpse is like?"

Lin Zhenxin remained silent, or maybe she just didn't know how to respond.

Once she thought that ghost stories had told of all the absurdities in the world, but now it seemed, they barely scratched the surface.

"That night, I sneaked into the funeral home and found her."

Li Yanan knew that what he was about to say next might sound shocking to others.

Without any change in his expression, he chose to share it with Lin Zhenxin.

He wanted to gradually permeate into her life, until they were inseparable, bound by blood and soul.

He certainly knew how despicable what he was doing was, but...

"She lay in the freezer, still in the condition she was during the day she was retrieved. No matter how I nudged her, she wouldn't wake up. I knew she was dead."

"But I was very tired and very lost. How could someone who was fine just be lying there motionless? What is death, really? Is it the end of life, or the beginning of something?" When he said this, Li Yanan's expression was truly bewildered.

"So, I..."

"So, I climbed into the freezer and lay in my mother's embrace, and slept for a night."

The autumn wind howled, and the withered leaves on the trees rustled, as if moaning, or roaring.

Even though Lin Zhenxin had mentally prepared herself, hearing it firsthand she couldn't help but look up at him.

The streetlight stretched his shadow endlessly on the ground, an indescribable ghostly air about it.

"The next morning, the old man on duty found me, and I almost gave him a heart attack. Fortunately, the people working there didn't believe in ghosts and spirits. By the time Mrs. Li brought people over, the expression of seeing a ghost on their faces, was truly spectacular!"

"And someone even notified the media..."

"Stop it!" Lin Zhenxin finally couldn't restrain herself and spoke up.

If she wouldn't let him talk, he wouldn't talk. Li Yanan quieted down, his eyes silently watching her.

Under the streetlight, Li Yanan's eyes held an unspeakable oppression.

The events that followed, even if Li Yanan didn't elaborate, how could someone as clever as Lin Zhenxin not guess?

If something like this happened in an ordinary family, how could they not find it taboo?

Especially the death of Li Yanan's mother...

Counting it all up, it wasn't a commendable incident for the Li Family either, Li Yingying couldn't wait to lower the impact of this matter to a minimum.

Li Yanan's actions, if looked at in a narrow sense, were just a deep love for one's mother, an inability to part.

But in a broader sense, it was enough to be called shocking!

And this was the very thing the media got a hold of, and to satisfy the public's curiosity, they wished to dig up the whole story.

It's no wonder Li Yingying sought a psychiatrist.

After all, anything a mentally ill person does can be conveniently rationalized, let alone...

This kind of thing that would smear the enemies even after death, Li Yingying would be thrilled to benefit from!

And she could also salvage her image a bit.

See, how magnanimous I am, even if this child is crazy, I still took her home and raised her.
