CHAPTER 226: CHAPTER 215 COMMON SECRET_3

Over the years, Li Yanan seemed successful, but deep down, he still carried the self-doubt from his childhood!

This is why he remains tight-lipped about how he and Lin Zhenxin met, and why he’s unwilling to reveal the truth about He Nuoxin’s child!

Flowing in his veins is Lu Dawei’s blood, despicable and dirty blood!

Blood relations and family ties are the most cruel and violent things in this world.

You have no right to choose your origin and parents; you’ll carry their imprint for a lifetime.

Li Yanan was once very afraid he would turn into a man like Lu Dawei.

But after meeting Zhenxin, he was no longer adrift like duckweed; he began to discard the past and worked hard to become the best person he could be.

"Ten million?" Li Yanan laughed coldly; perhaps in this man’s eyes, he was nothing more than a cash machine.

A cash machine without a limit.

"Okay, let’s give you a choice." Li Yanan suddenly changed his tone, his hostility withdrew instantly.

"What choice?" Lu Dawei looked at him warily.

"A and B choices! A, I’ll give you ten million, and from now on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other. B, I’ll spare the Li Family and no longer attempt to hinder it in any way, helping it through this crisis, and you can continue to rely on the Li Family to do whatever you want! One is to kill the hen to get the eggs, and the other is to take care of the hen to produce more eggs, which do you choose?"

Dim yellow light reflected off his well-defined features, dividing his face into light and shadow.

Lu Dawei was speechless...

Upon entering the house, Li Yanan was met by Lin Zhenxin with a bowl of chicken soup, her eyes full of worry.

"It’s chicken soup cooked by Aunt Xu, open up!" Lin Zhenxin held a spoon, having specifically added some soft, tender chicken leg meat for him.

Li Yanan obediently opened his mouth, the soup rich and mellow as it entered.

"Is it good?" Lin Zhenxin asked with a soft smile, looking particularly beautiful under the gentle indoor lighting.

Li Yanan gazed deeply at her, suddenly reaching out to pull her into his embrace.

"Ah... the bowl..." Lin Zhenxin was startled, quickly holding the bowl aloft, fearing it might spill on them.

"What’s wrong? Are you still upset about the He family?"

Lin Zhenxin held the bowl in one hand, gently caressing his back with the other.

"Is it a grievance to be with me?" Li Yanan’s hoarse voice sounded in her ear, causing Lin Zhenxin to pause.

"I suppose I do lose out a little in terms of age."

Lin Zhenxin feigned a serious reply.

Unexpectedly, Li Yanan’s arm immediately tightened in a punitive way, causing Lin Zhenxin to burst into laughter.

"Li Yanan, don’t overthink it, everything will pass..." Lin Zhenxin reined in her smile and spoke seriously.

"Whether it’s He Nuoxin or Susan He, I don’t care, I only care about you!"

From beginning to end, she stood by his side unconditionally, trusting only him.

His body seemed to gradually warm up, Li Yanan thought.

Meeting with Lu Dawei felt like falling into hell, but being with Zhenxin made even the coldest winter seem to pass.

Where she is, it feels like spring.

"Can you cook me some noodles? I’m hungry!" Lin Zhenxin swayed his arm, her voice soft and coquettish.

Aunt Xu had to leave early today, and after watching TV, grandma had gone to bed. However, Lin Zhenxin, the longer she waited, the hungrier she became.

The hungrier she was, the more anxious she felt inside. Finally, Li Yanan returned, and as she relaxed...

Her stomach growled even more.

Li Yanan smiled, took off his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and headed into the kitchen.

Watching his back, Lin Zhenxin’s lips curled into a faint smile...

The noodles were soon ready, and the two sat across from each other at the table, with Li Yanan watching Lin Zhenxin eat.

"The Li Family and the Tu Family should be hosting a celebratory event soon." Li Yanan suddenly spoke, catching Lin Zhenxin off-guard.

She looked up at him, seeing Li Yanan’s characteristic calm and expressionless face.

But soon, she noticed a tiny spot of blood above the corner of his lips.

Small as it was, it could not escape Lin Zhenxin’s keen eyes.

"Are you that sure?" She paused, asking with some doubt.

Li Yanan got up to pour himself a glass of water, and after an unknown amount of time, Lin Zhenxin heard him affirm with a simple mm.

Lin Zhenxin lost her appetite immediately.

Honestly, though Tu Haohao’s mother was Tu Wanzi, Tu Haohao himself was hard to dislike.

Because of this, she felt a little sorry.

"You wouldn’t bring this up for no reason, and there hasn’t been any outside rumor or news, I can’t help but feel..."

Leaning against the wall casually, Li Yanan turned his head to look at the speaking Lin Zhenxin.

"You’re plotting something!"

This statement was not even a question; Lin Zhenxin spoke with certainty.

"The fastest in two days, the latest in three, the Li and Tu families will jointly issue a statement, and as for the crisis with the Li Family..."

"Did you give up?" Lin Zhenxin asked about Li Yanan’s revenge against the Li Family.

"It’s just another way of boiling a frog in warm water."

Li Yanan took a sip of water, his voice extremely magnetic and alluring.

"Zhenxin, no matter what you plan, remember that plans never change fast enough. But sometimes, waiting might yield surprises!"

When he said this, it gave Lin Zhenxin a sense of him being in control.

"Did you see someone tonight?" she suddenly asked.

"Hm?" Li Yanan’s voice sounded from his throat.

"It just seems... tonight, there’s something different about you!" Lin Zhenxin’s eyes held a hint of confusion.

Upon hearing this, Li Yanan merely curved his thin lips slightly, raising his mug to conceal the bit of chill at the corner of his mouth...
