CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 199: SHE’S PREGNANT 2

Men and women are different.

Men can love for sex, but women have sex for love.

"Li Chengze, I am Tu Haohao, and also Juzi..."

She clutched her clothes until water stains spread, only then did Tu Haohao belatedly realize that her face was already covered in tears.

"I love you."

Until the end of life.

Even if everyone in the world despises and looks down on you.

You are still the most unique presence in my life.

Tu Haohao thought.

Lu Dawei still called Li Yanan.

The two arranged to meet at the cemetery.

Even though Lu Dawei hesitated upon hearing the address, he eventually agreed.

Li Yanan arrived first by car.

The cemetery was still in the state it was left by Li Yingying’s subordinates when they smashed it.

Li Yanan, dressed in a fitted black coat, walked slowly through the biting cold wind; desolation still permeated the air.

The cenotaph was empty and desolate, the tombstone shattered, just like Li Yanan’s fragmented childhood memories.

He stood there in silence, seemingly lost in thought.

Soon, Lu Dawei arrived.

Though in middle age, he still retained Pan An-like handsomeness.

One could imagine how captivating he was in his youth.

No wonder Li Yingying did everything to keep him and yet couldn’t bear to divorce.

"Yanan..." Lu Dawei appeared timid, never able to straighten his back.

Li Yanan slowly turned, acknowledging how much of his striking appearance came from this man.

"What is it? Trying to persuade me to let it go?"

His alluring eyes, now tainted with malevolence, startled Lu Dawei.

"Haven’t you always been concerned about that maid’s whereabouts?"

Li Yanan’s lips curled coldly, making his already unparalleled face even more arresting.

"Yanan, Mia and Yingying..." As Lu Dawei spoke, Li Yanan slowly stepped forward.

Facing each other, it was evident Li Yanan was taller than Lu Dawei by a head.

"Yes, it was me." Li Yanan admitted frankly.

Lu Dawei’s expression fluctuated, simply staring at him.

"You want to destroy the Li Family?" Lu Dawei asked again.

Li Yanan smiled silently, the smile clearly not reaching his eyes.

He deeply loathed the man before him, not hiding this disgust that came from his core.

"If I could, I would take you down with them."

"I’m your father!" Hearing this, Lu Dawei’s heart suddenly raced erratically.

"Blood ties are truly the most violent things in this world."

Li Yanan spoke coldly, unable to choose his birth or his father.

"Yanan, since you want to target the Li Family, why don’t we join forces? Make the Li Family our father and son property?"

Lu Dawei shifted, greed flashing in his eyes.

Li Yanan looked at him expressionlessly, as if trying to see how much greed and filth remained in his bones.

"Where is my mother’s body?"

After a long pause, Li Yanan finally spoke again.

Lu Dawei was stunned, seemingly not expecting such a question...

Lin Zhenxin told Yao Lemon to wait at the nearby Starbucks, while she took the elevator to the VIP ward area.

Since she had come yesterday, the duty nurse recognized her and did not stop her.

Her eyes inadvertently fell on the vending machine, recalling yesterday’s scene, making her expression a bit uneasy.

Soon, Lin Zhenxin arrived at He Bainian’s ward door.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally knocked on the door.

There was no movement inside for a long time. Lin Zhenxin waited a while longer and turned the doorknob.

The ward was quiet, except for the sound of medical equipment.

There was no sign of He Nuoxin, and every surface was covered with various bouquets.

Just as Lin Zhenxin turned around, she saw He Bainian looking at her from the bed.

"I thought you wouldn’t come again." He Bainian’s condition was much better compared to yesterday.

Even his speech was no longer slow.

Lin Zhenxin didn’t speak. Sunlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on her, as if coating her with a halo.

Her unadorned face was clean and pleasing to the eye.

"I apologize on behalf of my sister. She’s been spoiled by my aunt and me."

He Bainian knew that in others’ eyes, He Nuoxin’s actions were seen as pathological and frightening.

But knowing what happened before, he naturally felt more sympathy and love for her.

"He Bainian, what exactly did you talk about with Yanan yesterday?"

Frankly, Lin Zhenxin was really fed up with He Nuoxin. She didn’t want to hear about her anymore.

Besides, her radical behavior of stopping a car on the street yesterday did not seem like something a normal person would do!

"Is that why you came?"

He Bainian had a momentary daze, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"He Bainian, do you really think after you told such an outrageous lie, I’d come here with any different feeling?"

If not for the accident involving the He siblings yesterday, and Li Yanan coming to the hospital, she wouldn’t even be talking to He Bainian.

Lin Zhenxin’s temperament was like that; if she liked someone, she could unconditionally tolerate them.

But if she disliked someone, she wouldn’t look at them even if they died in front of her.

Her gaze was cold, her expression tense.

"If I said, I myself couldn’t explain why I told that lie then, would you believe me?"

He Bainian’s voice was hoarse. Lin Zhenxin was slightly stunned but said nothing.

The two just stared at each other.

"Tonight, I will have someone send Nuoxin back to New York. Whatever happened in the past, for Nuoxin’s sake, I won’t bring it up again."

Quickly, He Bainian spoke again.

Lin Zhenxin hadn’t expected Nuoxin’s strongest supporter would defect.

She originally thought He Bainian would use any means necessary to get Li Yanan back in his sister’s grasp.

"Does that make you a little happier?"

He Bainian said.

He looked at Lin Zhenxin, remembering the innocent girl who now was completely a woman.

Every move she made now carried an unexplainable beauty.

"I hope you can do what you say."

Lin Zhenxin spoke coldly, feeling that the conversation could end here, she turned to walk to the door.

"Zhenxin." Just as she was about to reach the door, she heard He Bainian call her again.

Though she hesitated, she eventually stopped her steps and turned to look at the man lying on the bed.

"Don’t blame Nuoxin, and please don’t hate her, okay?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhenxin felt an inexplicable agitation—was it because He Nuoxin was the He family’s little princess that everyone had to spoil her?

"If I told you she once lost a child because of Yanan, exacerbating her depression, while Yanan didn’t want to take responsibility—does that... make you more sympathetic towards Nuoxin?" He Bainian suddenly switched topics, a shadow crossing his deep eyes.

Lin Zhenxin’s hand, previously on the doorknob, tightened suddenly, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

What did He Bainian just say?

What did he mean by...

That she’d once lost a child for Yanan?

J City International Airport, in the waiting lounge.

He Nuoxin was anxiously waiting for someone to arrive.

The burly bodyguard assigned by He Bainian to watch over her stood quietly by her side, wearing sunglasses.

Their task today was to ensure He Nuoxin didn’t slip away and boarded tonight’s flight from J City to New York smoothly.

But what they didn’t expect was that after making a call yesterday, He Nuoxin, who was originally very resistant to this arrangement, suddenly seemed to change.

Not only wasn’t she repulsed by the bodyguard, but she even volunteered to come and wait at the airport.

However, they didn’t dare let their guard down until she was on the plane as instructed by He Bainian.

The bodyguard dodged the crowd while keeping his eyes on He Nuoxin, afraid she might wander off.

He Nuoxin’s gaze was fixed on the airport display screen, occasionally glancing at her wristwatch.

Calculating the time, it should be about right.

Last night, she thought of the only person who could help her and immediately made a call.

Five minutes later, a new wave of flights arrived.

The crowd poured out of the airport exit, and He Nuoxin kept her eyes peeled, afraid of missing something.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should be this flight.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, He Nuoxin hadn’t found the person she was looking for.

Standing there, she seemed enveloped in gloom, while the bodyguard still watched her quietly.

After an indeterminate amount of time, a bright glimmer suddenly lit up in He Nuoxin’s previously dim eyes.

She saw an assistant pushing two large suitcases, followed by the person she had been longing for, and excitement welled up in her.

"Over here!" He Nuoxin suddenly reached out towards the person.

The tall woman walking behind the assistant, wearing sunglasses, finally showed a hint of a smile when she saw He Nuoxin...

Li Yingying never told me.

Perhaps thinking of his late wife, Lu Dawei’s face showed a complicated expression.

What I want, you can’t give me, so what’s the point of teaming up?

Li Yanan’s gaze was cold, face like a sculpture, looking down at the hunched Lu Dawei.

Once, he so wished this man would reach out during his struggles.

Even a word, a meal, could make his life a little less miserable.

But he didn’t!

He just watched, as the Li Family mistreated him, treating him like a dog.

For his wealth, Lu Dawei abandoned his mother, ignoring his pain.

He wished he were dead!

Maybe the intense hatred in Li Yanan’s eyes startled Lu Dawei, who instinctively stepped back.

"Yanan, have you forgotten that..."
