My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 77 Why do you want to eat

Lin Zhenxin was completely at a loss!

Before, it could be explained that he was too young to control variables, but what about now?

Why does he still take it?

"Let's not go home first, let's find a place to talk!"

They couldn't go home yet. Grandma was there, and she didn't want their conversation to be overheard by her.

Li Yanan gave her a deep look, turned the car left, and drove into the darkness...

The graveyard.

Lin Zhenxin didn't expect him to bring her here.

The cold wind howled, sounding more like a whimper. She followed him up the steps slowly.

Soon, they stopped in front of a tombstone.

It was the grave of Li Yanan's mother.

In the dim light, the picture on the tombstone appeared even more desolate.

"Zhenxin, beneath this..." Li Yanan's voice was hoarse yet clear.

Beneath this? Beneath this... what about it?

"It's empty beneath this."

Lin Zhenxin sharply turned her head to look at him. What did he just say?

This grave is empty?

Connecting all the pieces, why was Li Yanan so obedient in taking medication?

Why was there no resistance...

Could it be because...

"Mrs. Li took her away, and this is also the means she uses to threaten me."

Even though she had thought of it, Lin Zhenxin felt a pang in her heart when she heard these words spoken so plainly from his mouth.

"I had no choice but to take those medicines. Fortunately, as long as I endure it, it's over."

Li Yanan's face was grim. His stomach felt awful, but outwardly, there was no sign of discomfort.

"Endure it? So from before... this is how you've been enduring?"

Lin Zhenxin couldn't imagine it. She couldn't imagine what kind of life he had before she met him!

"Zhenxin..."

"How can she do this? How can she act like a madwoman?"

Lin Zhenxin grasped Li Yanan's wrist, bending over to lean on him.

Earlier, in the attic bathroom, she saw it for the first time, and it was shocking!

She couldn't imagine how many times Li Yanan had suffered alone to say these words so calmly.

Endure it?

How can you endure it?

"It's okay. Actually, I can't remember clearly what happened at the time each time."

It was just that waking up to a body full of bruises had become a norm.

The more Li Yanan spoke like this, the sadder Lin Zhenxin felt, sadness she couldn't express.

"Let's not go back in the future, okay? Even if she calls and asks you to go back, we won't go back!"

Lin Zhenxin whispered, her tears soaking Li Yanan's sleeve.

Li Yanan didn't speak, looking down at her eyes reddened and swollen from crying, her long lashes still damp.

All of this was for him.

When this thought arose in his chest, an indescribable warmth flowed from the dried cracks within.

He stretched out his scarred hands, cupping her small face in his palms.

This woman was heartbroken for him.

This was something he never dared to think of before, like a dream.

Deeply moved, he bent down. It wasn't the right time, nor the right place, but he couldn't help but want to let her feel him.

Lin Zhenxin's tears burst forth instantly.

Like a spring gushing from her eyes, cascading down her cheeks, spreading across her lips.

"From now on, don't hold on all alone, okay?" In his tall, broad embrace, she felt like a child.

"I'm not afraid of you, not at all. You don't need to worry that I... will be scared!"

She wanted to laugh, but in the end, the laugh with tears looked even worse than crying.

"Okay." Li Yanan's voice was hoarse, seemingly accompanied by some suppressed notes.

"Li Yanan, I have no one else, so please take good care of yourself, even if it's for me, okay?"

Okay.

Li Yanan wanted to speak, but his throat seemed blocked by something, and he couldn't say anything.

His most hated word was 'Li.'

Yet never before did Li Yanan feel that having someone call him by first and last name sounded so heavenly.

His heart ached unbearably.

She gave him warmth he had never felt before...

Unintentionally touching the wounds on her palm, Lin Zhenxin inhaled sharply in pain, her body shrinking back.

Since leaving the Li Mansion, she had been hiding her hands, not wanting Li Yanan to see, and naturally, she hadn't checked them herself.

Feeling Li Yanan's probing gaze, Lin Zhenxin hid her hands further behind her back.

"Zhenxin, show me your hands." Li Yanan's voice turned serious.

Hearing this, Lin Zhenxin felt like a child who had done something wrong, hiding her hands even further back.

"It's nothing! No need to look!" If he saw, he would blame himself again.

"Show me your hands!" He was sure something had happened to her hands. Could it be because earlier...

Leaving these words, regardless of how Lin Zhenxin resisted, he forcibly pulled her hands from behind her back.

In the dim light, the pair of palms that should have been tender and flawless were now covered in scars.

Not a single patch of skin was untouched!

"It's nothing, just looks a bit ugly, but it doesn't hurt at all!"

Seeing him lower his head and not speak for a long time, Lin Zhenxin lied without blinking.

But the next second, Li Yanan's grip tightened a bit, making her inhale sharply in pain.

Li Yanan had a vague recollection of her lunging over again and again, only to be pushed away each time, falling to the ground.

"Does it hurt?" Seeing her about to speak, he quickly added.

"No lying!"

Forcing Lin Zhenxin to swallow her words 'It doesn't hurt.'

"Just a little, only this much." She used her thumb and forefinger to show a tiny amount, smiling warmly with her eyes curved.

Li Yanan stared directly at her, at that smiling face.

Silly girl!

How could it not hurt?

In the hospital.

The nurse carefully used disinfected tweezers to pick out the debris from Lin Zhenxin's palms.

Li Yanan stood by, his expression even more tense than Lin Zhenxin's.

"Hiss..." Lin Zhenxin kept inhaling sharply at the pain, which was much worse than she imagined.

Seeing the assorted wood splinters and glass shards in the metal tray, Li Yanan's face grew increasingly stern.

"Alright, remember to apply the medicine three times a day, and avoid water for the next few days."

After saying this, the nurse left.

"Come, sit by me." Lin Zhenxin looked up at Li Yanan, whose expression was nothing if not serious.

Li Yanan obediently sat down, but there was still a gap between them.

Lin Zhenxin looked at the space big enough for a person between them, eyes wide open as she gazed at him.

After a moment, Li Yanan moved closer to her, but only by a little.

Lin Zhenxin shook her head and simply moved closer to him, leaving no gap between them.

"If you dare to move again, I'll go find Lemon to sleep with tonight." Before he could move, Lin Zhenxin firmly spoke.

Li Yanan didn't move.

"Look, my injury has nothing to do with you. You don't need to feel guilty."

It was her own choice to reach out to him. At the time, he lost control, and Lin Zhenxin didn't want him to blame himself for it.

Li Yanan said nothing, merely reaching out to lightly caress her fingers.

Soft, cool.

"I want to protect you." But the one who hurt her was himself.

"Ever since we got married, you've been protecting me... haven't you?"

He had thought of everything thoroughly, and he was indeed protecting her.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, Lin Zhenxin knew that from their marriage until now, Li Yanan had easily gained her trust.

She had originally thought she would never trust anyone again.

She began to get used to his voice, used to his embrace, used to his vine-like clinging every night as they slept, used to everything about him...

"I want to go home." Lin Zhenxin really didn't like hospitals, especially the smell of disinfectant.

"Alright, let's go home."

Li Yanan awkwardly extended a hand, looking into her clear eyes, finally placing it on top of her head, gently patting...

Late night.

Lin Zhenxin was awoken by the murmuring of the man beside her.

She turned her head to see Li Yanan, covered in sweat, twisting in pain.

Did Li Yanan have a nightmare?

That was Lin Zhenxin's first thought, quickly propping herself up with her elbow, trying to shake him awake.

"Don't go... don't go..." In a daze, Lin Zhenxin heard his voice.

Who? Whom was he asking not to go?

What was he dreaming about?

The next moment, Lin Zhenxin found herself pulled into a fiery embrace, so tight she could hardly breathe.

"Zhenxin, don't go..." Perhaps it was because she was closer, but this time Lin Zhenxin heard it more clearly.

He was asking her not to go?

She wasn't going anywhere!

She opened her arms to hug him back around his slender waist, gently stroking his back to soothe Li Yanan's out-of-control emotions.

Ever since they returned from the hospital, she could feel something off about Li Yanan emotionally.

Whether it was the incident meant to... please her or the long gazes she thought he didn't notice at night...

They all gave Lin Zhenxin this impression.

So was Li Yanan afraid that after seeing him like this tonight, she would leave... or... file for divorce?

Was she... this important to him? freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Lin Zhenxin buried her face in his chest, confused about the answer to this question.

Their marriage started from a dramatic encounter, just a short time ago, and in his mind... had she become so important already?

Her mouth unconsciously curved into a gentle smile.

"I won't leave, I'm not going anywhere." She whispered in his ear, saying it over and over again.

Li Yanan's violent twisting gradually ceased, returning to calm.

Lin Zhenxin patiently continued to gently stroke his back, feeling the obvious lines that felt so solid.

The room returned to silence.

Only when Lin Zhenxin's gaze fell on the young girl in the red dress hanging on the wall, her expression became distracted.

Li Yanan, who had borne so much weight, and she, who carried her own suppressions.

Could they really be happy?

She didn't know the answer.

The deeper her connection with Li Yanan, the less she wanted to know the answer to this question.

Could her life truly afford to attempt reckless love once?

Lin Zhenxin closed her eyes, her long lashes trembling...

Could it really?

The next morning.

It was rare for Lin Zhenxin to wake up early with Li Yanan.

It was only today that she realized Li Yanan had a habit of morning runs. On a whim, she got up too and went out with him.

"It's your first time running, take it slow, and don't breathe through your mouth."
