My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 70 Intricate Relationships

"......"

Baffled, she dryly squeezed out the last word.

"Wh...what's wrong?"

In terms of height, there was indeed a huge gap between him and her, Li Yanan had to bend down significantly to embrace her completely.

Fortunately, there weren't many people passing by here, but in such a public place, Lin Zhenxin still felt a bit uneasy.

However, even though she was uncomfortable, Lin Zhenxin still reached out and gently patted Li Yanan's back.

"Disinfect." It was such a cold and icy two words.

Initially, Lin Zhenxin couldn't quite grasp where these two words were coming from.

But soon enough, she caught on to the flavor.

"Go home and burn this outfit!" Lin Zhenxin intentionally deepened her voice, deliberately trying to amuse him.

Li Yanan didn't say anything, just held her tighter!

In his mind, however, replayed the scene of Lin Zhenxin laughing like a water lily, exchanging glances with He Bainian.

He Bainian's attention towards her...

Was far too much!

Thinking this, Li Yanan merely looked down at her delicate eyebrows with those obscure eyes.

Some distorted thoughts seemed to be on the verge of an outburst, but Li Yanan promptly suppressed them!

The pair of clear eyes of Lin Zhenxin were looking at him, always giving him the feeling that she could see right through his dirty thoughts.

"But, how did Li Miya show up?"

Although Lin Zhenxin was thankful for Li Miya's appearance, which made He Bainian lose face, she was still a bit puzzled.

Li Yanan coughed lightly, without showing any expression.

Watching him, Lin Zhenxin suddenly had a look of sudden realization, could it be...

Did he meddle again?

"I've already decided to take on this task, rather than worry needlessly, you might as well directly get to the root of the problem."

Lin Zhenxin glanced at her watch, the time should be about right.

"After tonight's show, it's highly probable that Mrs. Li will have someone call, so better be prepared in advance."

Mentioning Li Yingying made Li Yanan's whole face sombre.

"What's there to prepare for, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, can she really eat me?"

Lin Zhenxin knew he was feeling uncomfortable about it, her last visit to the Li Mansion was still fresh in her memory, the servants' careless treatment...

And the musty attic...

She was really curious about what kind of person Li Yanan's father was, that he never lent a hand while his own son suffered!

Otherwise, Li Yanan's life wouldn't have been so difficult!

"Do you have anything you particularly like? I'm about to get paid soon, and I'll buy it for you then!"

Lin Zhenxin looked up, her eyes bright, and in Li Yanan's eyes, they were no different than the stars in the sky.

"I'm not a child..."

Her tone of coaxing a child was too obvious...

Li Yanan was a bit uneasy.

Lin Zhenxin burst out laughing, and even daringly reached out to pinch his cheek.

This sudden move took Li Yanan by surprise, but the fragrant little hand was soft and warm, making one feel reluctant to let go.

Fifteen minutes before the live broadcast, everyone was making the final preparations.

The broadcast room was bustling with activity, and the live studio was no less busy.

When it came to work matters, Lin Zhenxin was very proficient, handing the earpiece to He Bainian with a blank expression but then personally helping Li Yanan put it on.

The Eldest Miss Li was in the neighboring broadcast room, gesticulating to the staff next to her.

She couldn't see the impatience on their faces whatsoever.

Lin Zhenxin, on the other hand, felt nothing about it, just carefully checked the earpiece, making sure there wouldn't be any issues before feeling relieved.

Taking the position of picking up the earpiece, He Bainian watched her from start to finish.

The live studio had a moderate temperature, so Lin Zhenxin was only wearing a beige thin sweater.

As she lowered her head, her soft long hair cascaded down, and seemingly there was a faint fragrance...

It was when she had bumped into his arms...

He Bainian gathered his thoughts, wore a cold face, and put the earpiece on by himself.

Anyone who saw his face at this moment would know that his mood was really sour now.

The broadcast room over there already signaled with a gesture to start playing commercials, Lin Zhenxin nodded, and took a seat in the middle of the two.

The live broadcast was exceptionally smooth.

Originally, Lin Zhenxin thought He Bainian would take advantage to make things difficult, but surprisingly he cooperated well with every question she raised.

As for Li Yanan, she naturally assisted in filtering out unnecessary tricky questions for him.

Truthfully, it wasn't until after getting the draft from Shelley that Lin Zhenxin discovered how wise it was for her to accept this job.

The questions were crafted to either elevate or belittle, depending on the context! Who was elevated and who belittled was self-evident!

And Li Yanan's answers, when recalled later, made one think they were quite brilliant.

For the ones he didn't want to answer directly, it looked as if he answered everything, but in fact, it was like he didn't answer anything.

The atmosphere in the studio remained temporarily calm.

This temporary calm persisted until the listener phone-in section.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I've always had a question, and I wonder if you can help me answer it? Your engagement with Miss He Nuoxin back then, it seems, was never acknowledged or discussed publicly, is there some untold story behind it?"

"..." Lin Zhenxin was silent for a second.

He Bainian was the first to show displeasure on his face, while Li Yanan remained expressionless, calm as still water, without any ripples.

"An untold story? Ha." He Bainian was the first to break the silence, full of sarcasm.

"Would Mr. Li mind answering?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't disclose this." A magnetic voice rang out; this was Li Yanan's response.

Expected yet unexpected.

This call was quickly cut off by the director in the broadcast room, and another waiting call was patched through.

"Mr. He, are you married..." Before the words were finished, the call was abruptly disconnected.

Lin Zhenxin hadn't snapped back from the previous question about Li Yanan, and looked at the broadcast room in surprise, only to find it was the Eldest Miss Li acting out again.

"I am not married yet." He Bainian replied in a deep voice.

The next call was connected.

"Mr. Li, were you ever regretful for not clinging to the opportunity after Miss He Nuoxin called off the engagement back then?"

This was a very malicious question.

"This listener, I apologize..." Lin Zhenxin wanted to deflect.

"I don't need to rely on women to live, besides, my wife and I are doing well now."

As soon as Li Yanan said this, the listening ratings instantly surged by several percentages, almost to the point of exploding!

The radio station manager naturally beamed with joy.

As for Li Miya in the broadcast room, she also clearly heard what Li Yanan just said!

She widened her eyes in surprise, quickly called Li Yingying!

He Bainian's gaze was dim, eyebrows tightly knit, and he looked directly at Li Yanan across from him.

He was undeniably straightforward!

The forty-some minute show was soon to end, yet the calls coming in were numerous.

Lin Zhenxin's mind was a bit chaotic now; she glanced subconsciously at Li Yanan, who noticed her gaze and immediately looked back.

He still appeared disheveled to an outsider, yet it oddly calmed Lin Zhenxin's messy mind.

And to top it off, this scene was perfectly caught by He Bainian!

He Bainian's expression was even more gloomy.

"I wanna ask you one final question."

Just as Lin Zhenxin was about to time her closing remarks, He Bainian's voice suddenly rang.

"Alright." Li Yanan replied in a deep voice.

"Do you admit that you wronged my sister?"

Once those words were out, let alone the audience's reaction, even the broadcast room was deathly silent now, just waiting for Li Yanan's response!

Right? Wrong?

Whichever conclusion came would stir massive waves!

Lin Zhenxin appeared in a daze, with a nameless feeling in her heart as she looked at Li Yanan.

He Bainian seemed completely oblivious to the storm he stirred, a thin lip took on a sneer, waiting for his answer.

"I admit."

Such simple three words, Li Yanan answered slowly.

He Bainian removed the earpiece, this answer, he was undoubtedly very satisfied with. freewёbnoνel.com

Not even sparing He Bainian a glance, Li Yanan's entire attention was focused on Lin Zhenxin.

Lin Zhenxin's mind went blank, she even forgot how she wrapped up the show...

Even though she temporarily replaced Shelley, Lin Zhenxin's own show couldn't be left to a blank.

She remembered what Li Yanan told her after leaving the live studio, but she couldn't remember hearing any specific word.

Back in the office, a pass for entry was lying on her desk.

Lin Zhenxin belatedly recalled it was something Sister Wang had said she'd help get for Li Yanan.

Thinking about Li Yanan, indescribable complex emotions surged within.

No idea how much time passed, Lin Zhenxin suddenly grabbed the pass from the desk and dashed outside.

As she stepped out, she indeed saw Li Yanan still there.

He wore thin layers, leaning against the car, smoking.

The phone kept ringing, yet he showed no intention of answering it.

Hearing footsteps, Li Yanan looked up, saw the panting Lin Zhenxin standing there.

All emotions temporarily held in check at this moment.

He put out the cigarette.

"You...why are you still here?" Lin Zhenxin felt a bit silly as soon as she spoke.

If he wasn't here, then who would she be looking for?

As soon as Li Yanan heard her, he knew Lin Zhenxin didn't really register what he'd said earlier.

He said he'd wait outside until she got off work.

"Why did you come out?" Li Yanan reached out, and tucked her cheek's hair behind her ear.

"This is for you."

Momentarily distracted by the cigarette scent on his fingers, Lin Zhenxin handed him the pass.

"Show this to the security at the entrance, and they'll let you in."

Li Yanan took it with an outstretched hand.

"Well...since there's nothing, I'll head back then." After a brief silence, Lin Zhenxin spoke first.

But before she could take more than two steps, her wrist was caught, and in seconds, she was pulled back into his embrace.

Li Yanan was wearing too little, the weather was too cold, his embrace held no warmth.

In this icy embrace, the unexplainable bitterness in Lin Zhenxin's heart was fully released.

Though difficult to articulate, she...

Felt somewhat inexplicably saddened.

What really transpired between He Nuoxin and Yanan?

For a man to willingly admit fault, and given it was He Nuoxin who first called off the engagement...
