CHAPTER 213: CHAPTER 205 DON’T CRY 1

Li Yanan could hardly conceal his delight. His face was already exceptionally handsome, and now it was even more difficult for others to look away.

Just as he was about to return those things and say he didn’t want them, the next second, Li Yanan’s hand once again gently touched her flat belly.

As if afraid of harming it, he immediately moved his hand away, cautiously.

Lin Zhenxin’s heart was suddenly touched by him.

Last night, Li Yanan didn’t sleep at all.

From time to time, he would reach out his hand towards her.

Sometimes touching her face, sometimes her belly, he didn’t rest the entire night.

When Lin Zhenxin woke up in the morning, the first thing she saw was him with a silly smile, burying his face in her neck.

Like a fool.

That was the only candid assessment she could give after seeing him.

Yet, she loved this fool immensely.

To speak a particularly corny phrase, since getting married, it was like a bridge slowly being built in their hearts.

Originally without hope, now there was anticipation.

Originally scoffing in disdain, now willingly submitting.

Marriage isn’t just legally binding two people together.

It’s love that truly makes people willing, truly makes people willing to be bound.

"Pick some things for a girl. Today, the two of us will take them to Xingguang."

Lin Zhenxin recalled that wrinkled little monkey from last night, a smile appearing on her face, and after smiling, a sense of anticipation arose.

I wonder what the one inside my belly will look like?

There were so many things Li Yanan picked out that even the car couldn’t hold them all.

He directly left the address and asked the store to deliver them to the community property management.

The store eagerly agreed, after all, Li Yanan’s purchase had completed their entire year’s sales, and no one would offend such a golden client.

Lin Zhenxin held a piece of clothing for a child in her hands, in love with it.

Because a baby’s skin is tender, the fabric was chosen to be the softest.

"Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

Lin Zhenxin, for convenience, tied her hair into a ponytail at the back, her clean face almost like a student’s.

Her smooth face seemed to carry its own light, making Li Yanan reluctant to look away.

At the moment, she was tilting her head, looking at him. Her eyes were bright, just like the maternal glow described in books, stirring his heart slightly.

"As long as it’s yours, I like them all."

Li Yanan turned his eyes away, his ears slightly red, though not easily noticeable.

"Sweet talker!" Yet Lin Zhenxin still smiled.

"But I prefer a girl," Li Yanan thought for a moment, then added seriously.

"Why?"

The car drove smoothly towards the hospital, Li Yanan soon hearing Lin Zhenxin’s voice.

"If we have a girl like you, I will spoil her."

He said.

Lin Zhenxin was silent for a moment, her gaze falling outside the car window.

Lately, her eyes were quite sensitive, and casually hearing a word would make her feel like crying.

"But Aunt Xu and Grandma had a dream, dreaming of a little boy running into my belly."

Even mentioning it now, Lin Zhenxin still found it a bit unbelievable.

"If it’s a boy, will you not spoil him?"

Li Yanan was silent for two seconds.

"Then let’s have a girl next, and our son and I will both spoil her."

Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help wanting to both cry and laugh, thinking whoever is reincarnated as his son would be unlucky because of Li Yanan’s awkward personality!

In front of the western restaurant, Tu Haohao stood in the biting cold wind, just staring at the entrance.

There was still a napkin with the restaurant’s name in her hand.

She had found it in Li Chengze’s car yesterday.

This was the best western restaurant in J City, also the one with the highest proposal rate.

Her face seemed terribly pale in the cold winter day.

But Tu Haohao seemed to be completely unaware, not moving an inch.

No matter how strange the eyes of those looking at her were.

She was making a decision.

Whether to go inside, or simply leave, pretending nothing had happened.

"Hey, the man who booked the restaurant last night, so romantic, and rich too..."

"I wonder if the proposal was successful."

Suddenly, what had looked like a statue of Tu Haohao finally moved.

She walked slowly towards the inside of the restaurant...

Lin Zhenxin got out of the car first, holding the maternal and baby supplies.

She waited at a distance for Li Yanan, who was parking.

Suddenly, she felt someone watching her, and the hairs on her back instantly stood on end.

Instinctively, she lifted her head to look.

Soon, Lin Zhenxin found the source of the gaze.

A large floor-to-ceiling window upstairs was reflecting the morning light.

Even though she couldn’t see the face clearly, Lin Zhenxin was sure that the cold attention came from there!

The morning light obscured part of the person’s face, but not the rest.

All in white!

"What are you looking at?" Li Yanan’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Lin Zhenxin withdrew her gaze, shaking her head with a smile.

But Li Yanan looked knowingly upstairs.

When Lin Zhenxin looked again, there was no white figure.

If she hadn’t seen it clearly earlier, she might have thought it was ghostly!

"Nothing, let’s go inside."

Lin Zhenxin shook her head, not saying much...

The atmosphere in the room was not as harmonious as Lin Zhenxin imagined.

She and Li Yanan sensed it as soon as they entered.

But the newborn little girl was not affected at all, sleeping soundly.

Jiang Dongting, at this moment, was in a mess, still holding an empty bowl.

Obviously, its contents had been emptied on him.

Truthfully, if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Lin Zhenxin wouldn’t have believed...

That someone like Jiang Dongting would endure silently.

Chu Xingguang’s cold face improved considerably upon seeing Lin Zhenxin, and Jiang Dongting stood up, exchanging a glance with Li Yanan...

The two walked out.

Lin Zhenxin clearly saw tears in Chu Xingguang’s eyes.

Though she didn’t know what happened between Chu Xingguang and Jiang Dongting...

Lin Zhenxin thought, Chu Xingguang’s feelings for Jiang Dongting must be no less than his for her.

Love and hate are one and the same; a woman loves to hate.

When a woman doesn’t even bother hating a man, that’s the scariest thing.

"Little Qilin... isn’t your child, is he?"

Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin softly spoke.

Chu Xingguang was startled, slowly lifting her head, looking at Lin Zhenxin.

Lin Zhenxin carefully placed the items she held on the bedside table, all for pregnant women and babies.

"Though I don’t know what happened between you and Mr. Jiang, as long as one is alive, there’s nothing unsolvable."

Lin Zhenxin’s eyes fell on the baby lying in the cradle.

"You’re so optimistic." Chu Xingguang spoke softly, eyes filled with pain.

Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but smile at these words, then sighed.

"You’ve only seen this optimistic side of me, yet you don’t know, my dad accepted money from others to seduce my mom away from home, intending for her to give up all her assets. Later, my dad had an affair with my mom’s sister, which she found out, and in anger, she abandoned me and left alone. Later, my dad got drunk and burned himself to death, almost killing my grandma and me too."

Chu Xingguang was shocked, eyes widening in disbelief, finding it hard to believe Lin Zhenxin...

Had such a past!

"But am I not doing okay now? I’ve met the most important person in my life, and I have a child inside me..."

Chu Xingguang instinctively looked at her belly, her gaze trembling slightly.

"So, the past may be etched in our bones and blood, but more importantly... is the future!"

Lin Zhenxin’s voice was gentle, her smile warm.

As Chu Xingguang looked at her, tears suddenly...

Fell down.

Lin Zhenxin walked over, gently caressing Chu Xingguang’s face.

"Don’t cry." She said.

In the restaurant’s surveillance room.

Tu Haohao handed over a thick stack of money from her wallet to the man beside her, who left with a smile.

Before closing the door, he mentioned five minutes.

The door was closed from the outside, leaving only Tu Haohao inside.

She quietly watched the footage on the monitor.

She paid for the man to pull up yesterday’s surveillance footage, and now...

On the screen was Li Chengze...

And the person opposite him was He Nuoxin.

Tu Haohao showed no expression, just watched silently.

Until Li Chengze knelt on one knee with a bouquet of roses in front of He Nuoxin, Tu Haohao finally moved.

She reached up, pressing on the wound on her forehead from when Tu Shaohong hit her.

It hurt.

It was a clear and undeniable pain.

Tu Haohao’s gaze remained on the screen, her hand continually pressing on her forehead.

The surveillance video was clear, even capturing their facial expressions distinctly.

The wound on her forehead hurt so much, causing tears to fall.

Dropping onto the table with a thud.

Each transparent, round tear spread into a puddle on the surface.

She saw Li Chengze’s expression clearly, so different from when facing her, careful, without a trace of assertiveness.

She replayed it over and over, pausing the scene where he knelt.

"It doesn’t hurt... Haohao... not at all..."

Tu Haohao muttered to herself,

But how could it not hurt?

It hurt so much she could hardly breathe...

It hurt so much ... her heart felt like shattering!

"Li Chengze, my heart aches..."

While Lin Zhenxin and Chu Xingguang were conversing, Li Yanan was also outside talking with Jiang Dongting.

But as soon as the conversation started, Jiang Dongting’s gaze shifted past Li Yanan to his back.

Noticing something odd, Li Yanan turned around, immediately seeing He Nuoxin.

His expression instantly darkened.

"Brother Yannan..." He Nuoxin spoke with vulnerability and delicateness, drawing looks from bypassers.

But to Li Yanan, He Nuoxin was like seaweed, with only one outcome when it hits water.

Being tightly entangled, until it suffocates!

Suddenly, Li Yanan moved.

He strode towards He Nuoxin’s direction, this movement bringing her undisguised joy, even showing happiness on her face.

Very soon, Li Yanan reached her and forcefully grabbed her wrist, dragging her as if pulling luggage...
