CHAPTER 214: CHAPTER 206 DON’T CRY 2

Heading toward the emergency exit!

Bang! He Nuoxin was harshly slammed against the wall by him.

Without any ounce of tenderness or care.

"Brother Yannan, it hurts..." He Nuoxin coyly said, not blaming his roughness.

She found it more like an intimacy.

"He Nuoxin, if I find out you follow Zhenxin again, I will never let you go!"

Li Yanan’s whole body felt enveloped in coldness, his gaze piercingly chilling.

He Nuoxin merely treated it as a joke, attempting to reach out to caress Li Yanan’s face, only for him to dodge away without hesitation.

"Brother Yannan, I just love it when you look so manly!"

She said, even smiling at him.

But in the next second, He Nuoxin couldn’t smile anymore.

Just because Li Yanan’s hand found its way to her neck.

The veins on the back of his hand were bulging, and his expression was emotionless, a stark contrast to when he was with Lin Zhenxin, as if he were a different person.

He Nuoxin opened her mouth, uttering broken and intermittent sounds.

Her face turned flush red from being choked at her neck, not to mention...

Her feet were gradually leaving the ground!

Previously, Li Yanan was willing to keep the secret due to the guilt he harbored.

But the situation has changed now, he absolutely cannot allow He Nuoxin any chance to harm Zhenxin!

Even if it means... destroying her!

He Nuoxin’s fingernails continuously scratched in disorder on the back of his hand, as if she were really on the brink of death.

Li Yanan, of course, knew his limits, mentally counting down the time, loosening his grip at the last second.

"Remember what I said, stay far away from us!"

Li Yanan’s voice was deeply sonorous, carrying an indescribable authority!

Turning to leave, but quickly, He Nuoxin entangled him from behind like a soft snake...

Tu Haohao arrived at the hotel once again.

It was from the traces found in Li Chengze’s car.

Perhaps because she had just cried, Tu Haohao looked frail, as if she could be blown away by a breeze.

Getting into the surveillance room by the same method, only this time, she hesitated to press the play button.

It was as if she already had the answer in her heart, yet she still clung to a glimmer of hope, waiting for something.

She suddenly recalled the first time she met Li Chengze.

He descended from the sky, as though he had heard her sincere prayers.

Since that moment, the feelings of fondness and infatuation for him had gradually deepened, along with that kiss with a touch of mint...

Everything was so vividly clear.

Tu Haohao knew that between her and Li Chengze, from the beginning, it was more her wishful thinking.

Whether orbiting around him, or insisting on expressing her feelings to him...

Never had she believed that Li Chengze would have any response towards her. However, when the distance between them slowly shortened...

When she began to see his vulnerable side.

Tu Haohao couldn’t let go of his hand.

In the beginning, clearly, there wasn’t a must-have, right?

But why... did they become more and more entangled?

Last night, when she saw the half-lip mark on the collar of Li Chengze’s shirt, Tu Haohao sank to rock bottom.

She wasn’t a fool, she knew what that meant.

So that’s why Tu Haohao searched for traces in the car.

In Tu Haohao’s simple life, never had there been a moment as desperate as yesterday.

Even knowing she had acute kidney disease, and not finding a suitable donor meant death, it wasn’t as despairing as this.

It was like being held underwater in a pool, with no resistance at all...

Being forcibly deprived of her breath!

Should she watch it?

If the result really wasn’t what she hoped for, did she have the courage to bear it?

Faced with all these questions, Tu Haohao hesitated over the play button.

If she watched it, she wouldn’t be able to tolerate it.

If she didn’t watch it...

Tu Haohao stared vacantly at the screen, as time slipped away second by second.

Not much time left for her to decide...

Jiang Dongting entered alone.

Seeing Chu Xingguang crying, his gaze swept over, cold and sharp.

Lin Zhenxin smiled and left the space for the two of them.

Leaving the hospital room, the strong disinfectant smell unique to hospitals made her frown subconsciously.

Looking around, she didn’t see any sign of Li Yanan.

Evidently, Li Yanan had gone out with Jiang Dongting just a moment ago.

A thought crossed her mind at the sight of that malicious white figure, Lin Zhenxin paused for a moment, and then headed toward the emergency exit.

"Brother Yannan, why? That night, you were clearly so passionate with me!"

With the door ajar, Lin Zhenxin quietly leaned against the wall, her face expressionless.

"I don’t understand what I did wrong to make you gradually grow cold towards me?"

He Nuoxin’s voice carried its usual obsession, fragile and trembling.

"I can never forget your touch, so gentle, so tender..."

She was unwilling to accept why the position that should have been hers was taken by another woman.

"Shut up!" Even though Lin Zhenxin hadn’t entered, she could still feel the fury building uncontrollably in Li Yanan.

"If you’re still mad at me because big brother announced the broken engagement and embarrassed you, I can clarify, clarify to the media!"

He Nuoxin’s voice was nearly pleading.

Suddenly, two knocks came from outside.

Li Yanan and He Nuoxin looked over simultaneously, seeing Lin Zhenxin watching them from the doorway.

"Enough talking, we should go back now."

She glanced at Li Yanan with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes and extended her hand slowly toward him, without saying anything extra.

Instantly, He Nuoxin’s delicate and pitiable features twisted uncontrollably.

"He Nuoxin, you should know very well that my words are never just casual!"

Li Yanan’s cold and sharp gaze landed on He Nuoxin, causing her to instinctively step back.

He was warning her, for Lin Zhenxin’s sake!

Once they left, He Nuoxin’s face had twisted beyond any sense of refinement.

As the saying goes, one’s appearance reflects their heart, surely, her heart at this moment must also be...

Twisted beyond recognition.

Tu Haohao emerged from the surveillance room wearing sunglasses.

In the end, she didn’t hit play.

She pulled a wad of cash from her bag and handed it to the person waiting at the door.

"Can you erase this section of the surveillance for me?"

The wad of cash was no less than five thousand.

"This... if it’s discovered, my job..." The person tried to hide his joy, but still showed hesitation.

Tu Haohao remained silent, pulling out another wad of cash.

The other party, delighted, immediately agreed.

In less than ten minutes, the person came out of the surveillance room, the footage erased.

Tu Haohao left quietly.

Secrets, just let them remain secrets forever.

On the way back, Lin Zhenxin was exceptionally quiet.

Li Yanan glanced at her from time to time, feeling some unease about her unusual silence.

"Watch the road, why do you keep looking at me?" Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin spoke up.

"You..." Li Yanan was at a loss for words.

"I said I trust you, so I won’t overthink it. Or are you upset I eavesdropped outside earlier?"

Lin Zhenxin’s question made Li Yanan’s thin lips curl into a smile.

The tension in his heart eased.

"I was just thinking about something." Lin Zhenxin’s expression was subtle.

Li Yanan noticed her expression, suddenly realizing how much she had changed since they first met.

"Thinking about what?" he asked.

"About you and He Nuoxin." Lin Zhenxin answered candidly.

Li Yanan remained silent.

"Look at you, why such a stern face?" She laughed, reaching out to stroke his rigid face.

"I just vaguely guessed something."

Li Yanan hadn’t expected Lin Zhenxin to say such a thing; he understood what she guessed.

"However, if you don’t want to say, I won’t bother to confirm."

After these words, Lin Zhenxin leaned back in the comfortable leather seat, taking a long breath.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly felt like going to the cemetery.

"There’s a flower shop ahead, I want to buy a bunch of flowers," Lin Zhenxin said.

Li Yanan quickly pulled the car over at the entrance of the flower shop.

Lin Zhenxin got out of the car, and soon returned carrying a bunch of white daisies.

Still fresh with dewdrops, the bouquet of daisies in her hand matched the serene look on her face, adding an air of sanctity.

"Do you want to see him?" Li Yanan asked.

"Yes." Lin Zhenxin smiled, knowing that some things didn’t need to be said between her and Li Yanan; they both understood.

Li Yanan started the car, driving towards the cemetery...

Lin Zhenxin slowly ascended the steps.

From afar, they both saw a thin figure standing there with its back to them, holding a bouquet.

Lin Zhenxin’s heart skipped a beat, her steps became uncertain as if she had realized something.

Her eyes flickered with inexplicable anticipation, and even her throat felt a bit dry.

Yet the closer she got, the colder her heart felt.

Until she saw that person’s face clearly.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Zhenxin’s voice was colder than the chill in the wind.

Standing in front of Lin Jusheng’s tombstone was Tu Wanzi!

Tu Wanzi’s face still had tear streaks; upon seeing Lin Zhenxin, she hurriedly wiped her tears, looking a bit disheveled.

Lin Zhenxin had no interest in appreciating Tu Wanzi’s fragility.

"Please leave and never come here again!"

Lin Zhenxin was thoroughly disgusted by this woman, not bothering to hide it.

Tu Wanzi cast a deep, complex glance at Lin Zhenxin.

She turned to leave.

"Wait." Lin Zhenxin’s voice came from behind as Tu Wanzi had just put on her sunglasses to hide her tear-filled eyes.

"Take your flowers with you."

Lin Zhenxin said, picking up the flowers from in front of the tombstone as she spoke.

"Those aren’t from me."

Tu Wanzi left these words and quickly departed.

Lin Zhenxin was stunned for a moment, looking down at the tiny petals in her hand, staying silent...

Seeing Tu Wanzi drained Lin Zhenxin’s desire to visit Lin Jusheng considerably.

When she regained her composure, she held the mysterious bouquet tightly as she walked over to Li Yanan.

He was standing in front of his mother’s grave, where restoration work had begun a day or two ago, seemingly foretelling something.
