My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 81: Gambling, the Possibility of Happiness 1

"Walk? Walk to where?"

Lin Zhenxin had a look of confusion on her face.

Li Yanan said nothing, simply fixing his gaze on her.

She was wearing his shirt, her slender white legs exposed, looking at him innocently.

He handed her the bag he was holding.

Lin Zhenxin opened it to find, besides the morning-after pill, several boxes of condoms.

"Anyway, you're not working tomorrow." As she stared in a daze, Lin Zhenxin heard Li Yanan's voice.

Finally understanding what he meant, her face turned bright red. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"You ruined my clothes, I couldn't find anything to wear, so I had no choice but to wear yours."

Lin Zhenxin pretended not to hear what he said earlier, breaking the morning-after pill into her palm, but before she could take it, Li Yanan reached out to stop her.

"I'll go downstairs to get you a cup of water first."

Li Yanan turned around as he spoke, returning shortly with a glass of water.

Lin Zhenxin swallowed the pill with the water.

"Don't take things like this next time, it's bad for your health."

"Did you think I left just now?" Lin Zhenxin handed the cup back to him.

Is he really that insecure?

"I thought you'd regret it after we were done." Li Yanan admitted honestly.

Lin Zhenxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"The bedsheets... I pulled them off but couldn't find replacements, so... I just left them on the floor."

"That's something the servants should worry about, not you."

Li Yanan pulled her into his arms, aware that she had showered and was enveloped in a clean scent.

But he was slightly unhappy; he liked it when Lin Zhenxin, freshly entwined with him, had his scent all over her.

"Are you hungry?" Lin Zhenxin noticed the fire in his eyes reigniting and hastily found something to say.

"I'm really hungry, is there anything to eat?" Her stomach timely growled.

Lin Zhenxin looked embarrassed, feeling that Li Yanan was laughing.

"There's food downstairs." He whispered in her ear, a sense of intimacy flowing in the air.

The next second, he took her by the wrist, and they headed downstairs...

"I haven't focused my work in J City; most of my social and business circles are abroad."

Warming up the dinner, Li Yanan chatted with Lin Zhenxin.

"I bought this place years ago, before the housing prices shot up."

Buying the whole plot and developing it into a villa area didn't cost much at first, but unexpectedly, when the sales opened, it was during the fastest housing price increase, so the villas here were snapped up quickly due to their superior environment and comprehensive security.

Including this one, Li Yanan kept a total of three villas.

The other two were reserved for his close friends.

"You've hidden yourself pretty well." Lin Zhenxin sat at the dining table, pouring herself some of the wine she hadn't finished.

She was thirsty and hungry, her whole body ached sorely.

"The salary card I gave you, you probably haven't used it till now."

Li Yanan placed the food in front of her, reaching out to touch her face.

"My salary is enough." From the time they married until now, Lin Zhenxin indeed hadn't touched his money.

"Next time you're at an ATM, do take a look."

Li Yanan chuckled meaningfully without continuing the topic.

As she ate, Lin Zhenxin mumbled to herself; his words were so mysterious, she'd definitely check next time.

"Why are you telling me all this suddenly?"

Halfway through the meal, Lin Zhenxin found it a bit strange.

"Watching me get drugged, then hearing others call me insane..."

"I'm poor and looked down upon by others, I'm afraid someone like me will scare you away!"

Li Yanan spoke slowly.

"How worried are you that I'd run away?"

It was the same before, just like now!

Lin Zhenxin truly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You're good-looking, and now I know you're wealthy too. Shouldn't I be the one worrying?"

She was just a small character without much presence when thrown into a crowd; what qualifications did she have to be with him?

Besides, if He Nuoxin came back...

Lin Zhenxin's smile faded as she stopped herself from dwelling further.

She realized that her current state really lived up to a saying...

The more you invest, the more you fear losing.

"If one day, you fall in love with someone else..."

"Please make it clear to me. I'm not someone who clings shamelessly, but I ask you to leave us both a little dignity!"

Lin Zhenxin said these words with seriousness.

Unlike Lemon, she wasn't the kind of woman who'd live or die for love, and she couldn't be that way.

She just hoped that even if affection truly faded, things wouldn't end too ugly.

"I won't fall in love with someone else." Li Yanan's brows furrowed tightly.

"Words only represent the moment, so I don't believe in promises."

Lin Zhenxin was realistic; no matter how pleasant the words, what should be lost will be lost, what should change will still change.

"Lin Zhenxin!"

Li Yanan's expression was particularly serious.

Yet Lin Zhenxin lowered her head, feeling as if she had ruined the good atmosphere.

Suddenly, she lost her appetite.

Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin only heard the chair opposite move, and the next moment, she found herself lifted into the air.

"Li Yanan, put me down!"

It dawned on her that she was being carried over Li Yanan's shoulder!

"You made me angry, so I'm going to punish you!"

It was late at night in J City.

In the presidential suite at the top of the hotel, He Bainian was sitting at the desk, with several documents in front of him.

—I don't know what happened between you back then! I don't know how many hidden truths there were back then! But I do know, Li Yanan is someone I want to trust unconditionally! Li Yanan is also someone I want to protect unconditionally!

Voices kept echoing in his ear, his face increasingly unpleasant, and with a bang, he closed the documents in front of him.

He pressed his hand against the center of his brows, his handsome face dark.

After a while, He Bainian opened a drawer and took something out.

It was something yellowed with age...

—Wasn't it Mr. He who said he hated me first?

—Yes! Even if he lied to me about many things!

The expression Lin Zhenxin had when she spoke seemed to vividly appear in front of him...

"Lin Zhenxin." He Bainian said gloomily, his face full of seriousness!

When she woke up again, it was the next day.

This time, Lin Zhenxin really felt she couldn't muster any strength in her entire body.

Li Yanan's arm was draped around her waist, making it impossible for her to move.

She glanced at the clock; it was already past eight.

As she moved slightly, Li Yanan pulled her back into his arms, even burying his face into her neck.

Lin Zhenxin reached out, trying to move the heavy arm on her waist, but before she could do so, Li Yanan opened his eyes.

"Where do you want to go?"

"The bathroom." Seeing him awake, Lin Zhenxin couldn't help but recall his intense dark eyes from last night.

"I'll carry you."

"No..." Before Li Yanan could finish, Lin Zhenxin quickly scooted back.

Just as Li Yanan was about to call out to her, she clumsily fell off the edge of the bed...

"Ouch, that hurt..."

"Zhenxin!" Li Yanan was truly awake now, propping himself up on his elbow, the thin quilt slipping down to his waist.

"I'm... I'm fine..." She felt a bit embarrassed.

Falling off the small bed at home was normal, but still managing to fall off such a large bed...

Could only say it was clumsy.

Lin Zhenxin only heard a chuckle, lifting her head in confusion, seeing Li Yanan covering his eyes with his hand, laughing.

Seeing him laugh, Lin Zhenxin also felt both angry and amused.

She picked up the shirt Li Yanan had casually thrown on the floor and pulled it over her while rubbing her behind on the way to the bathroom.

When she came out again, she saw Li Yanan sitting at the head of the bed waiting for her.

"Are you really planning to stay in bed all day?" She sat on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees, looking at him.

Bathe in the morning light, Li Yanan's flawless handsome face looked stunning.

Looking at him, Lin Zhenxin even felt a little inferior.

Could this man really belong to her alone?

Li Yanan stretched out his hand to pull her close.

"You were just stealing looks at me." Li Yanan's voice was smug.

"Aren't you childish!" Lin Zhenxin would never admit that she was so captivated by that face just now.

Before Li Yanan could respond, Lin Zhenxin's phone rang.

She answered it nonchalantly, not checking the caller ID.

"Lin Zhenxin, don't think I don't know it was you who did it! Just you wait!"

The voice on the other end was clearly angry, shouting until it broke, then the call abruptly ended.

Lin Zhenxin looked at the disconnected call in bafflement.

Now, even if she hadn't checked the caller ID, she knew who had called her.

Who else but Shelley?

But what on earth did she want, calling her out of the blue like this?

"Who was it?" Li Yanan's voice brought her back to reality.

Lin Zhenxin threw her phone back into her bag carelessly.

"It's nothing." Not wanting Li Yanan to know, she didn't say anything.

"Aren't you getting up?" Lin Zhenxin tried to keep a distance from him, to avoid another day on the bed.

Li Yanan looked at her, not saying a word.

At this moment, Lin Zhenxin was soaked in the warm sunlight, her delicate figure faintly visible under the thin shirt.

Her slender fingers seemed to grasp the sunlight.

Speaking to him, her face turned, a smile on her lips; her voice was gentler and more reassuring than when she hosted the radio in the night.

"That painting, it's of you."

When Li Yanan said this, it was a statement, not a question.

Lin Zhenxin was stunned, only realizing after a long moment what he meant.

"How could you tell?" Lin Zhenxin's smile faded, knowing he was referring to the painting of the girl in the red dress.

"Intuition."

Li Yanan got up and came to her side, wrapping his arms around her.

"Yes, the painting is of me."

No one knew how shocked she was the first time she saw that painting in his room.

"Did you buy the painting?"

Li Yanan nodded.

"Why did you buy it?"

At that time, the painting couldn't be considered expensive, but it wasn't cheap among its kind either.

"The person in the painting looked beautiful, I thought it would be nice to marry her home someday."
