My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 78 Afraid She’ll Leave 1

Lin Zhenxin found a sports outfit she hadn't worn in ages, tying her hair into a casual ponytail, exposing her smooth forehead.

Nodding slightly, Lin Zhenxin followed Li Yanan, jogging lightly.

Even though Li Yanan's speed was not even half of his usual pace today, after ten minutes, Lin Zhenxin couldn't run anymore.

"No... no more!" Lin Zhenxin propped her hands on her knees, gasping for air, feeling as though her lungs were about to explode.

Seeing him running so effortlessly, why did her own legs feel like they were filled with lead?

Just as she was about to sit down, Li Yanan reached out to hold her up.

"You can't sit down immediately after exercising." Li Yanan's voice was not even breathless, making Lin Zhenxin feel even more inadequate.

"My shoelaces are untied." Unable to resist looking up, two red patches appeared on her cheeks.

Li Yanan squatted down immediately, tying her loose shoelaces skillfully.

"All done." Judging by the look of it, he had already anticipated Lin Zhenxin's condition.

"Don't worry about me, just go run on your own."

She really didn't feel like moving at all; had she known, she wouldn't have gotten involved.

"Get on."

Just as Lin Zhenxin finished speaking, she saw Li Yanan squatting down with his back to her, beckoning her over.

After a brief moment of surprise, Lin Zhenxin couldn't help but smile as she leaned toward his back; in the next moment, Li Yanan stood up.

He walked slowly, his broad shoulders giving her a solid sense of stability, while her legs swayed at his sides.

"Am I heavy?" Lin Zhenxin used a towel to wipe his sweat.

"A bit."

"..." Lin Zhenxin immediately struggled to jump off his back.

"Just kidding." Li Yanan held her more securely, giving her a little lift.

They chatted idly as they went along.

When they passed by the neighbors walking their dogs in the morning, Lin Zhenxin instinctively hid her face in Li Yanan's neck out of embarrassment.

Later, as they encountered more people, Lin Zhenxin finally realized that he was intentionally heading toward more crowded areas.

"Change the route!"

As soon as Lin Zhenxin said this, she immediately heard a regretful sigh from Li Yanan.

Realizing this, she couldn't help but punch his shoulder playfully.

"We've been married for so long, and it seems I've never asked about your likes and dislikes."

What did Li Yanan like? What did he dislike? It seemed she didn't really know.

"Whatever you like, I like. Whatever you dislike, I dislike too."

Li Yanan's straightforward answer made Lin Zhenxin blush a little, leaning on his shoulder, toying with his ear.

"It sounds as if I'm really important to you." She muttered quietly.

"Very important." Almost immediately, Li Yanan replied.

Stopping in his tracks, he turned his head to look at her, their faces extremely close.

"Zhenxin, you're very important to me." Meeting her gaze, Lin Zhenxin stopped joking and stared at his serious eyes in a daze.

Seeing Lin Zhenxin remain silent, Li Yanan suppressed his emotions and continued walking toward home.

Actually, he really wanted to hear her response.

"You too." After a while, Lin Zhenxin finally found her voice.

"Hmm?"

"Yanan, you're also very important to me."

Perhaps when they got married, she really didn't have that many expectations, but the more time she spent with him, the more she couldn't let go.

He said that she was a very important person to him.

For her, wasn't it the same?

Li Yanan's originally stern face gradually softened, his thin lips curling into a subtle smile...

Just as they returned home, Lin Zhenxin heard her grandmother's heart-wrenching scream.

Her expression changed, and she ran toward the sound without a second thought.

Her grandmother was having a hysterical episode. Aunt Xu couldn't handle her and had been pushed down several times. Seeing Lin Zhenxin enter, she visibly sighed in relief.

"Grandma!" Lin Zhenxin ran over and hugged her grandmother tightly.

"Madam, grandma went like this after she saw the painting on the wall." Aunt Xu stood up and said.

She must have seen the signature, Lin Zhenxin thought.

Her grandmother was tremendously strong during her fits. Lin Zhenxin was used to getting hurt and slapped.

But this time, before she could even feel the pain, Li Yanan had taken over.

Sitting on the floor, Lin Zhenxin felt disoriented, watching Li Yanan cradling her grandmother, feeling deeply pained.

"Jusheng... I want my Jusheng..." Her grandmother's face was ashen as she kept muttering.

"Grandma, Dad went out for sketching, he'll be back in a couple of months."

Lin Zhenxin soothed her grandmother gently, like coaxing a child, holding her rough fingers.

After a long time, her grandmother finally calmed down and drifted off to sleep...

Li Yanan carried the sleeping grandmother to bed.

When he came back, Lin Zhenxin was still sitting on the floor, motionless, just staring at the painting.

Aunt Xu had left at some point.

Li Yanan carried her to sit by the bed.

"My dad died by suicide, he set himself on fire." Lin Zhenxin whispered.

"Grandma saw it with her own eyes, but was powerless."

Nothing is more painful than watching a loved one die in front of you while being powerless to stop it!

"I also wanted to save him, I tried, but I really couldn't."

No one understood the pain of having their skin burned by fire more than she did.

"Don't think about it anymore." Li Yanan sat beside her, holding her in his arms.

"My dad was called Jusheng, Lin Jusheng. This painting was done by him."

Lin Zhenxin let him hold her, her voice soft.

"This was the last painting he ever sold."

He was a down-and-out artist who achieved nothing in his life.

Thanks to selling this painting, Lin Zhenxin was able to cover her first year's college tuition, but because of the fire...

She lost everything again!

Truly, fate is cruel.

Closing her eyes, Lin Zhenxin forced herself to stop thinking about it, but the long-repressed memories that broke free were beyond her control.

"I'll have Aunt Xu put the painting in the garage."

Li Yanan looked at her for a long time before speaking.

Lin Zhenxin nodded, not expecting such a strong reaction from her grandmother upon seeing the painting again.

"If you feel bored, invite your friends for shopping. My card is with you; buy whatever you like."

He had a full day of engagements and had to leave soon.

"Lemon texted me saying Gu Yaoyao would be spending the night in the police station without bail."

She wondered how Lawyer Xun managed that.

Given Gu Yaoyao's influential background, it seemed unlikely.

Li Yanan smiled, not saying anything, and it was then that Lin Zhenxin noticed his outfit for today seemed a bit different from usual.

While he still wore glasses, his clothing now looked much more coordinated.

After breakfast, Li Yanan left quickly.

Watching him go, Lin Zhenxin felt a bit empty inside, unsure of how to spend her time with two days left of her vacation.

Aunt Xu brought her some freshly washed cherries.

Lin Zhenxin stared absentmindedly at the bowl of cherries, feeling that her life had completely changed ever since marrying Li Yanan.

Picking one up to eat, the sweet and sour taste flooded her mouth instantly.

Before she had time to relax, the phone rang from the bedroom.

Running back barefoot, Lin Zhenxin glanced at the caller ID, and her expression instantly became solemn.

What was Wu Feng calling her for?

Just picking up the call, she was met with his furious yelling, and after a few words, Lin Zhenxin widened her eyes in shock.

What did he say?

Lemon was wearing a wedding dress and threatening to jump off the rooftop of his company?

When Lin Zhenxin arrived by taxi at Wu Feng's company, a large crowd had already gathered.

Something was falling from above, and each time it dropped, the crowd below gasped!

Given the rush hour, and Wu Feng's company being in a key commercial district, the scene was chaotic.

Seeing the layers of people and hearing the police sirens, Lin Zhenxin was anxious beyond words!

Why would Lemon suddenly want to jump off a building?

Just then, a sheet of paper floated down in front of her.

Lin Zhenxin reached out to catch it, only to realize it displayed a bed photo of Wu Feng and Gu Yaoyao.

Who knew how many copies they had printed; it was like snowflakes scattered everywhere.

With the strong autumn wind, they blew all over. No wonder Wu Feng called her saying Lemon had gone crazy!

Without thinking of anything else, Lin Zhenxin rushed into Wu Feng's company.

Knowing someone was threatening to jump off the building, people inside were discussing it, but Lin Zhenxin didn't care; she headed straight up to the rooftop by elevator.

With a loud bang, she pushed open the rooftop door, where the police had already formed a circle.

Who else could it be but Yao Lemon, shivering in the chilly autumn wind in her wedding dress!

"Lemon!" Lin Zhenxin rushed over, while Yao Lemon expressionlessly threw a thick stack of paper down.

"Stay back, anyone comes near, and I'll jump."

Yao Lemon, in her high heels, stood precariously at the edge, making Lin Zhenxin's heart stop.

Wu Feng and someone who looked like his boss stood together, turning pale upon hearing her words.

"Yao Lemon! Stop embarrassing me!" Wu Feng growled angrily, teetering on the brink of collapse!

"Embarrassing? When you slapped me for Gu Yaoyao last night, why weren't you embarrassed?"

A loud slap echoed as Lin Zhenxin marched up to Wu Feng and slapped him hard!

She never imagined Wu Feng would hit Lemon for Gu Yaoyao the night before!

"Wu Feng, I'll settle this with you once Lemon is safe!"

Lin Zhenxin glared coldly at him, dousing Wu Feng's rage from the slap like cold water!

The nearby police understood the situation instantly after seeing the clear photos printed on the paper, piecing together the drama in their minds.

"Lemon, come down, let's discuss everything!"

The wind was strong, and Lemon was standing on the edge in high heels; any slight misstep would lead to lifelong regret!

Upon seeing Lin Zhenxin, a bit of vulnerability finally showed on Yao Lemon's face, but even so, she shook her head at her.

"Zhenxin, why should I hold onto this grudge? Why should I humiliate myself for a scumbag?"

Last night, after learning Gu Yaoyao had to spend the night at the police station, Wu Feng had slapped her fiercely as soon as he left the station!
