CHAPTER 210: CHAPTER 202 LET’S TALK ABOUT 1

The scar left by forcing with death is still there, leaving He Nuoxin slightly in a daze.

Brother Yannan...

Li Chengze came to her with a bouquet of red roses and then slowly knelt down on one knee.

"I love you, please consider marrying me."

Li Chengze spoke directly, expressing his thoughts, causing He Nuoxin’s eyes to suddenly widen in shock.

Given the current situation of the Li Family, he is still able to propose to me?

To be honest, He Nuoxin felt a bit disdainful.

Li Chengze’s heart was as tense as it could be, saying this plainly was purely due to the current circumstances of the Li Family.

If he didn’t say it now, there would really be no chance.

After the disdain, He Nuoxin looked at the vibrant red roses, her eyes somewhat in a trance.

She suddenly remembered Li Yanan’s attitude towards her and faced Li Chengze’s infatuated gaze, a thought in her heart was swelling.

Suddenly, He Nuoxin’s lips curled into a brilliant smile, and she took the bouquet of red roses with both hands.

Then, she said something that shocked Li Chengze even more.

"Do you want me?"

Tu Wanzi looked at her daughter in pain, carefully cleaning her wounds.

Tu Haohao, however, smiled happily, simply because Tu Shaohong finally agreed to help Li Chengze.

"Silly child, is it worth it for him?"

Tu Wanzi could see that Li Chengze’s heart wasn’t on Tu Haohao at all, and...

He really didn’t have much ability to handle emergencies.

"Mom, when you gave birth to me under such pressure back then, did you ever think if it was worth it or not?"

Tu Haohao looked at Tu Wanzi with pure eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, no one ever told her about her father, she used to fantasize what kind of person her father was, but later...

Tu Haohao came to terms with it.

If mom doesn’t say, she must have her reasons, asking more would only add to the sadness.

Tu Wanzi was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered past scenes, her eyes flashed with panic and repression.

For some reason, recently her heart always has a sense of panic, as if something is going to happen...

"If I say, I don’t want to answer this question, but I want to ask you to trust me, what would you do?"

Li Yanan’s voice was very heavy, also very suppressed.

Lin Zhenxin listened, not speaking for a long time, just looking at him like that.

Not sure if she was tired, she sat down on the single sofa.

But even so, her gaze did not move away from this man in the slightest.

"Do you think, this is fair to me?"

Lin Zhenxin’s voice was very gentle, without any emotion, just purely discussing with him.

"Trust is mutual, it’s normal to have give and take. You can’t let me guess everything out of thin air, that’s really unfair to me!"

Li Yanan hung his head low, from Lin Zhenxin’s angle she could only see his tightly pressed thin lips.

"If you want an answer, then I can answer you, even if I verbally tell you now that I trust you, but the seed of doubt and your evasive attitude will also take root and sprout in my heart, any small stir can make them grow wildly."

Lin Zhenxin spoke calmly, with every word, Li Yanan’s pupils contracted a bit more.

"We start to argue, I begin to become extreme, little by little my trust in you diminishes, until it disappears completely."

"No..." Li Yanan suddenly stood up and walked to her, gripping her arm tightly.

"By then, our only way out might be divorce."

As soon as the word divorce was spoken, Lin Zhenxin could clearly feel her wrist about to be crushed by him.

The intense pain came, yet she didn’t say a word.

"If you choose so, I have nothing to say."

Lin Zhenxin wanted to draw her hand from his grip, but Li Yanan showed no sign of giving way.

"Once you’ve thought it through, tell me, because I have something else, and whether or not to tell you... depends on your answer!"

Lin Zhenxin quietly looked at Li Yanan, she was waiting for his answer.

At the hotel, the assistant was putting Susan He’s clothes neatly into the wardrobe.

And ever since Susan He came back from the hospital, she sat silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought.

Not sure how much time passed like this.

The fax machine in the room made a noise, and before the assistant could go over, Susan He had already gotten up first.

Soon, she held a bunch of papers tightly in her hand.

To be honest, as someone who has followed her for so many years, the assistant remembers Susan He as always being more rational than emotional.

But today, she lost her composure.

Standing in front of the fax machine, Susan He’s hands continued to tremble, like sieving chaff.

"Madam, are you okay?" The assistant couldn’t help but speak.

Instantly, Susan He seemed to calm down, only glancing at the assistant with indifferent eyes.

"You go out first." With that, she took the stack of faxes and walked back to the sofa by the window.

On the small table beside it, there was a half-empty bottle of whiskey with ice that had been opened and drunk.

The assistant nodded and carefully walked out.

As the door closed, she inadvertently glanced inside, not sure if it was her illusion...

She seemed to see Susan He, known as the Iron Lady in the business world...

With tears on her face?

In the luxury hotel suite.

As soon as the door closed, He Nuoxin and Li Chengze were entangled together.

Li Chengze’s muddled mind couldn’t understand how things progressed so quickly?

But soon, the joy swelling in his heart made him forget this, wholeheartedly holding He Nuoxin and walking towards the big bed.

He Nuoxin smiled alluringly, with a natural charm in her every move.

As they walked, amidst the fleeting moments, a pure face suddenly appeared in Li Chengze’s mind.

It was Tu Haohao.

His steps slowed for a second, even for just a second, but it was still noticed by He Nuoxin.

She was a bit upset and clearly saw the daze on his face.

Thinking a little, He Nuoxin understood who Li Chengze had just thought of.

She curled her red lips, her small hand looped around Li Chengze’s neck, forcing him to lower his head to kiss her.

The feeling of conquest gave He Nuoxin an indescribable sense of elation!

The two fell together onto that big bed...

Afterwards.

Li Chengze listened to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, his gaze fell outside the window, not knowing what to think.

His reflection was blurred on the floor-to-ceiling window, even he couldn’t see his own face clearly.

After years of unfulfilled wishes, he should be happy.

But in reality, an indescribable emotion lingered in his heart.

The water in the bathroom unknowingly stopped, and by the time Li Chengze came back to his senses, He Nuoxin had already come out wrapped in a towel.

Her hair was blown half-dry, at her strong request, Li Chengze didn’t leave a trace on her body.

Perhaps when she steps out of this door, as long as she wants, no one will know what happened between them today.

Seeing his eyes fall on her exposed skin, He Nuoxin chuckled softly.

The laughter carried slight sarcasm.

Then she took a cigarette from the pack on the bedside table, holding it in her hand, she lit it and took a deep puff.

The motion was smooth, completely different from her usual demeanor.

He Nuoxin, with her back to Li Chengze, sat on the bed, her charm teasing the man’s fragile nerves.

"I will take responsibility for you," Li Chengze said.

The next second, laughter filled with ridicule entered his ears.

He Nuoxin slowly turned her head, looking at his face, amidst the swirling smoke, like a sickly rose.

"Responsible?"

She spoke, and as she spoke, her tone was very sarcastic, just like her current expression.

"Chengze, the one I like is Brother Yannan."

The vein on Li Chengze’s forehead throbbed, his expression instantly turning sinister.

"Once I step out of this door, I’ll forget everything that happened today, also hope you don’t take it to heart."

He Nuoxin pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

Picked up her leggings from the floor, her bare feet stepping by the bed, slowly putting on her leggings.

"What do you mean?" Li Chengze’s heart continued to sink.

He Nuoxin leaned forward, "Don’t you already know very well?"

Her fingertips slowly traced across his chest, his stamina was commendable which she enjoyed, but...

He wasn’t Brother Yannan.

Just now, closing her eyes, all she thought about was Li Yanan.

At that moment, she forgave Brother Yannan for his indifference, thinking, it should be Lin Zhenxin who didn’t call him to get out of the car.

Suddenly, He Nuoxin’s wrist was grabbed by Li Chengze.

She fell onto the bed this way.

"Actually, you hesitated just now... didn’t you?"

He Nuoxin stretched out her hand, stroking Li Chengze’s cheek, women are sensitive to such matters, she just didn’t bother to expose it.

"Just now... who were you thinking about?"

He Nuoxin spoke, laughing lightly, without hiding the teasing in her eyes.

Li Chengze abruptly pushed her away, his face showing an embarrassed being seen through.

He Nuoxin continued dressing, then picked up her bag and headed out of the room.

In the hotel room entrance, the bouquet of roses was on the floor, He Nuoxin didn’t even look at it, stepping right on it...

In the hotel corridor.

He Nuoxin waited for the elevator, perhaps her body just satisfied, her lips curled into a charming smile.

Soon, before stepping into the elevator, she took her phone out of her bag.

Opening the album, she swiped through the photos with her finger.

Looking and laughing.

These were all taken when Li Chengze wasn’t paying attention.

Some were clear, some were blurry, but all the photos had one thing in common, that just with a glance...

One could tell what he had just done.

With a ding sound, the elevator arrived at the first floor.

Throwing the phone back into her bag, He Nuoxin walked out of the elevator...

The conversation between Lin Zhenxin and Li Yanan was temporarily interrupted by an abrupt call from Chu Xingguang.

The call was directly to Lin Zhenxin’s phone, she didn’t hesitate for too long and quickly picked it up.
