My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 82: Gambling, the Possibility of Happiness 2

As soon as Li Yanan finished speaking, Lin Zhenxin laughed.

"Liar!"

Who would want to marry someone just because they look good in a painting?

"I'm not lying. Look, haven't I already married you?"

Li Yanan lowered his head and rubbed his nose against her smooth neck, which was dotted with red marks.

"With a mouth like this, who knows how many girls you've sweet-talked into happiness."

Lin Zhenxin reached out and caressed his lips.

"Haven't you seen those women avoiding me like the plague? Who would I be talking to? Even if I did, who would dare to listen?"

After Li Yanan said this, Lin Zhenxin laughed again. She really couldn't imagine that scenario.

"Shallow women can't appreciate your true worth."

The villa, inside the gym.

"You mean the Li Family wants to form a marriage alliance with the Tu Family?"

Lin Zhenxin sat beside him, watching Li Yanan jogging on the treadmill.

He really enjoys fitness, no wonder his body is so fit, looking good both clothed and unclothed.

"The Li Family has been declining over the years, and Li Yingying has been trying to find ways to reverse this situation."

Thin sweat slid from his solid abs, trailing down his V-line and disappearing into his lower abdomen.

"A marriage alliance with the Tu Family is all benefit, no harm. Plus, with her relationship with Tu Wanzi, she wants even closer ties."

"Tu Haohao and Li Chengze?"

That would explain why Tu Haohao is often seen at the Li Family's place.

Just thinking about the day when Li Chengze was tangled up with another woman made Lin Zhenxin a bit nauseous.

"Do men never refuse women who throw themselves at them?"

On that day in the attic, Lin Zhenxin recounted the events to Li Yanan in brief.

Li Yanan didn't seem surprised by it.

"Most men would think, why reject a cheap woman who's willing to sleep with them?"

Li Yanan turned off the treadmill and took the towel and bottled water from her hands.

"Is that what you think too?"

Lin Zhenxin frowned, her face instantly turning displeased.

Coming down from the treadmill, Li Yanan approached her, "You're the only one I have feelings for."

Lin Zhenxin glared at him, yet couldn't hide the smile tugging at her lips.

Li Yanan tilted his head back to drink the water, while Lin Zhenxin just watched him.

Wondering if she was crazy, otherwise how could she find him looking so attractive just drinking water?

"Has the Li Family really reached the point where they can only sustain themselves through marriage alliances?"

Lin Zhenxin wasn't interested in the business world, so she didn't know much about these matters.

"The stock prices keep falling, the internal organization is unstable, and although Li Chengze is ambitious, his lack of talent makes him unlikely to succeed."

Li Yanan put down the bottled water, placed his hands on the floor, and started doing push-ups.

The muscles of his shoulders and back were hard as rocks, his waist and abdomen firm. Before Lin Zhenxin realized it, her hands were already touching him.

Li Yanan paused and turned to look at her.

Even Lin Zhenxin herself was startled by her actions.

"Were you satisfied with my stamina last night?" Lin Zhenxin blushed immediately upon hearing it.

"Sit up here." Li Yanan glanced at her, then spoke.

"Can you handle it?" Lin Zhenxin looked at him with doubt; what if he hurt his back?

"Do you know what men hate to hear the most? It's when others say they can't!"

Li Yanan placed his hands firmly on the floor, raising an eyebrow.

Seeing his confidence, Lin Zhenxin hesitated for a moment but eventually sat on his back.

The moment her feet left the ground, Li Yanan started moving, making her scream in surprise while he had a smile on his lips.

Out of frustration, she slapped his shoulder hard...

Before going home in the evening, the two of them first went to the supermarket.

Lin Zhenxin wanted to buy some fruit, so she went directly to the fruit section. However, as soon as she turned around, Li Yanan was nowhere to be found.

"What are you choosing?" A tall figure approached her from behind.

Lin Zhenxin was so startled that her hand shook, and when she turned around, her lips brushed against his cheek.

"You scared me." Lin Zhenxin's cheeks turned burning red.

"I picked some mangoes and strawberries. What about you? Where did you go just now?"

Lin Zhenxin glanced at the shopping basket he was carrying, with a few boxes of condoms lying in there. It was obvious what Li Yanan had gone to do.

She decided to pretend she didn't see anything.

At this moment, they didn't know that a pair of eyes were watching them from a distance.

He Bainian hadn't expected to run into these two when he came down to the supermarket at night to buy some food for dinner.

He had been watching for a while.

From the moment Lin Zhenxin started picking strawberries on her own.

Under the soft white lights, she seemed somewhat different than usual.

Her every move was more feminine.

Not long after, Li Yanan approached her.

Lin Zhenxin immediately showed a shyness she had never displayed publicly.

He Bainian lowered his head to look at the bento in his hand, suddenly losing his appetite.

He felt something was off, not understanding why he was so focused on Lin Zhenxin.

"Because she is Li Yanan's woman!"

He Bainian told himself.

Because she is Li Yanan's woman, that's the reason!

Realizing he forgot to buy something, he asked Li Yanan to wait in the parking lot, while Lin Zhenxin ran back into the supermarket.

Grabbing what she needed, she headed to the checkout.

Unexpectedly, just as she arrived, she saw a familiar figure standing there, evidently in some sort of trouble.

Since returning to J City, this was the first time He Bainian encountered such an embarrassing situation.

The reason was simple: he forgot to bring his wallet.

"Could you hurry up?" The cashier, an older lady, urged him in the local dialect.

He Bainian was hesitating whether to admit he forgot his wallet and just leave when a familiar female voice spoke from behind.

"Put our items together for payment." Lin Zhenxin walked over from the back of the line and pushed her items onto the counter.

He Bainian looked down at Lin Zhenxin; hadn't she left already?

The older lady mumbled something and picked up the items to scan them.

"That'll be fifty-seven bucks in total. Do you need a bag? It's two cents for a bag."

Lin Zhenxin handed over the money and was about to say no bag, but then she noticed that He Bainian had picked a meal set and two cans of beer.

She had thought this man had banquets to attend every day.

In the end, she asked for a bag.

Taking the change, Lin Zhenxin didn't look at He Bainian and directly walked towards the exit with her items.

"Lin Zhenxin." She heard He Bainian calling her from behind, and she stopped and turned around.

"Don't misunderstand, Yanan is still waiting for me in the parking lot, and I don't want to keep him waiting too long."

Besides, they were acquaintances after all, and she wasn't that heartless, but she wasn't going to tell He Bainian that.

"Thank you." He Bainian originally wanted to say something more, but in the end, it was reduced to just those two words.

She's a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, he thought.

Lin Zhenxin was surprised to hear those two words from He Bainian.

She had always thought he looked down on everything, believing that nothing mattered other than himself and his sister.

Without responding, Lin Zhenxin turned and left, mindful that Li Yanan was still waiting in the parking lot.

After all, it was just a matter of thirty or more bucks, nothing worth dwelling on.

She didn't know.

After she left, He Bainian stood there holding the bag, unmoving for a long time...

The next afternoon, Lin Zhenxin returned to work after her leave.

She hadn't expected to hear her colleagues gossiping as soon as she stepped into the office. When they saw her, Sister Wang and the others waved her over. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Zhenxin, did you hear? About Shelley and the TV director..."

Sister Wang was all mysterious, and Lin Zhenxin was puzzled, shaking her head instinctively.

She had long known about Shelley and the TV director, but she wasn't a gossip, so she had never mentioned it to anyone.

Seeing her shake her head, Sister Wang immediately started speaking like pouring beans from a jar.

It turned out that the TV director had accidentally sent an email intended for Shelley to every departmental email box instead.

The language used in it was filthy and unbelievable.

Lin Zhenxin could hardly believe it; it was such a basic mistake, how could the TV director have made it?

A colleague sneered and commented.

"Haven't all major screw-ups happened because of those small mistakes?"

Lin Zhenxin was momentarily stumped, then found it amusing.

It was true; every major screw-up was usually caused by a small mistake.

——Lin Zhenxin, don't think I don't know it was you! Just wait and see!

Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin recalled that puzzling call from Shelley yesterday.

Could it be that Shelley thought it was her...

Lin Zhenxin chuckled and shook her head; she was overthinking it!

As she was musing, a colleague rushed back from the pantry, spilling half the water in their hands!

"You have to go see for yourself! There's a fight outside!"

These words, spoken with a tone of excitement over other's misfortune, made everyone even more eager for gossip.

Originally, Lin Zhenxin didn't want to go, but Sister Wang dragged her up.

Just as they reached the corridor, they could hear screams, shouts, and even cries from the hall downstairs!

The screaming woman was the very subject of their earlier discussion, Shelley!

"That's too harsh!" Someone whispered beside Lin Zhenxin, as people streamed out of every office.

"Isn't that the TV director's daughter? I've seen her once!"

Apparently, it was the TV director's daughter who brought her friends and, without a word, grabbed Shelley's hair and dragged her into the station's lobby.

"You bitch! Stealing my mom's man? You slut!"

The sharp voice, alongside the sound of tearing fabric, echoed into everyone's ears.

No one expected the seemingly gentle girl to be so strong when fighting.

First, she slapped Shelley several times, still unsatisfied, then kicked her hard in the stomach.

Cursing while she and her friends stripped Shelley of her clothes!

"That's brutal!" Sister Wang was all tough talk but had a soft heart.

Lin Zhenxin frowned, watching the farce unfold in the lobby below.

"Call the police! Someone call the police! This bitch has made our family unrest!"

The girl, full of energy, said this while tearing even more of Shelley's clothes off.

A whistle sounded from somewhere in the crowd.

Shelley hadn't said a word but struggled desperately, lying on the ground like a frenzied kitten.

But two fists couldn't fight four hands, and soon she was stripped naked in front of everyone!

"Oh, where's the vixen's tail? Maybe she hasn't been stripped clean enough!"
