Chapter 101 - 101 No Value At All
There is something inexplicably attractive about Li Yanan.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that He Nuoxin is deeply infatuated with him.
"She doesn't need to know about those things," Li Yanan said, nonchalantly, but in He Bainian's eyes, it was glaringly offensive!
"Doesn't need to?" he pondered these three words carefully.
Somehow, the image of Lin Zhenxin smiling at Li Yanan popped into his mind.
"I'm genuinely curious, just what does Nuoxin lack compared to her?"
Regardless of family background, appearance, or education, Lin Zhenxin couldn't compare to Nuoxin; on what grounds does Li Yanan see her differently...
Why do I see her differently?
Perhaps because Lin Zhenxin was mentioned, Li Yanan's cold eyes softened slightly, he poured himself another glass of wine before speaking again.
"He Nuoxin has all the external qualities that are better than Zhenxin's, but to me, they have no value whatsoever."
He Bainian's grip on his wine glass tightened suddenly.
It was exactly this expression, this tone of speaking—nothing has value, it's like he never even sees them...
To Li Yanan, it all holds no value at all!
"You truly are a terrifying person," He Bainian couldn't help but sigh.
He couldn't help but recall those years ago, being pummeled by a heavyweight underground boxing champion brought from Thailand until his ribs were broken, opening his clothes revealing the contoured shape of his broken ribs. Yet he still endured without uttering a sound...
He Bainian also remembered He Nuoxin being frightened to tears by this scene, saying she wanted to lend him money so he wouldn't make money this way anymore.
Yet, even so, Li Yanan simply smiled and never let Nuoxin get close to him.
Li Yanan disliked others touching him, whether it was a man or woman, at least...
This was the Li Yanan he remembered!
"If I am really that terrifying, with your conduct..."
The rest of the sentence was left unsaid by Li Yanan, but He Bainian understood, curling his lips into a mocking smile.
"Yes, with what I've done, I probably wouldn't be this comfortable now."
He Bainian said.
Li Yanan chose silence.
"Why then, did you wrong Nuoxin back in the day?"
With a bang, He Bainian slammed the wine glass onto the table, creating a loud sound.
That was the beginning of the break between the two of them!
"You knew my family situation! You knew how much I cherished my sister! You knew... I would never allow anyone to hurt her like that, but you did everything you shouldn't have! It's because of you that we brothers ended up at this point!"
He Bainian's chest heaved violently with anger, deep eyes leaping with flames.
"To this, I have nothing to say."
He Bainian said so much, but in the end, Li Yanan only said this one sentence!
It was the same answer Li Yanan had given when he confronted him back then!
Nothing but "I have nothing to say"!
Just "I have nothing to say"!
Swallowing his anger completely, He Bainian's face was cold and suppressed, to the point where even his handsome features seemed somewhat distorted.
"Then regarding the remittance slip, I also have nothing to say."
"Doesn't matter, I never intended to tell her that person was me anyway."
Li Yanan stood up, pushed the empty cup forward, and walked towards the door.
"What exactly are you after?" He Bainian didn't understand.
All those years of struggling, what was he really after?
Li Yanan's figure paused, remaining silent for a while. Just when He Bainian thought he wouldn't answer, he turned around...
"For her to be safe, joyful, and have a smooth life."
When Lin Zhenxin opened her eyes, she found Li Yanan leaning against the headboard, playing with her fingers.
"Still sleepy?" His voice was light, as if afraid to wake her.
Lin Zhenxin was still deeply drowsy, eyes full of haze, nodded, and instinctively snuggled into his embrace.
And went back to sleep.
When she woke again, it was more than an hour later. Upon opening her eyes, Li Yanan was still playing with her fingers.
"What's so fascinating about them?"
"They're beautiful," Li Yanan said.
Lin Zhenxin's hands were indeed beautiful, even Yao Lemon couldn't help but be envious.
Small, slender, the skin was naturally fair, even without nail polish they shone bright and clear.
Yet Lin Zhenxin didn't like keeping long nails; she always clipped them short, neat, matching the feeling she gave off.
Li Yanan really liked these hands.
When she was wary of him, he suppressed the desires in his heart.
Now that she had no defenses against him, he wanted nothing more than to draw nearer to her every day.
The soft, boneless feeling, the delicately fragile bones, seemingly about to break with just a pinch.
"What time is it?" Lin Zhenxin mumbled, still half-asleep.
"Eight-thirty." Glancing at the bedside clock, Li Yanan said in a deep voice.
"Oh, then I'll sleep another half hour... you wake me up later..." Lin Zhenxin closed her eyes again.
"No..." Li Yanan surprisingly refused.
But Lin Zhenxin pretended not to hear, burying her face into the pillow like an ostrich.
"There's something important today." Li Yanan whispered into her ear.
Lin Zhenxin buried her face deeper into the gap between the two pillows, determined not to listen.
"Get up quickly, or else you won't be going anywhere today."
Li Yanan said, while removing his loose casual shirt, and upon hearing the sound of him undressing, Lin Zhenxin scrambled up.
Although she had told Yao Lemon about their first embarrassing encounter...
But after that, he seemed to have gotten the hang of it, refusing to stop until she couldn't get out of bed.
At the moment she heard those threatening words, Lin Zhenxin was so scared she shivered.
"You..." Before she could finish speaking, losing her balance, Lin Zhenxin nearly fell off the bed.
Fortunately, Li Yanan's eyes were sharp and hands quick, pulling her directly into his arms with a strong grip.
"Wait until later, get a bigger bed, no matter how you thrash about, you won't be able to fall off."
Li Yanan said to himself.
Lin Zhenxin heard it clearly, but she couldn't imagine that scene, hurriedly pushing him away.
"What's so important today?" she asked, while yawning and putting on slippers, her hair casually tied into a ponytail behind her head.
Young and beautiful, in Li Yanan's eyes, she was like a flower bud.
"Have you forgotten, today is the third day after the blood draw, after breakfast, we have to go to the hospital."
Li Yanan spoke slowly, and Lin Zhenxin, of course, understood.
Her yawning stopped, and it took a while for her expression to return to normal, but by then, there was no longer a smile on her face. She looked extremely cold.
"Oh, I'll go freshen up." After speaking, she went into the bathroom.
It wasn't long before she was all tidied up.
Aunt Xu had prepared egg yolk and shrimp wontons, freshly made in the morning, adding seaweed, dried shrimp, some cilantro, and sesame oil to Lin Zhenxin's bowl.
Li Yanan's bowl, however, was plain.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Aunt Xu thought she didn't like it because she hadn't eaten anything yet.
"No, I just suddenly remembered the first thing I ever treated Yanan to eat was beef noodles, and at that time I didn't know he didn't eat cilantro."
Back then, she never imagined that one day she would become so entangled with the man across from her.
Taking a bite of the wonton, with its thin skin and ample filling, it was truly appetizing.
Lin Zhenxin had to admit, it was a great idea for Li Yanan to bring Aunt Xu!
Aunt Xu even made some particularly complex pastries, always keeping them in the fridge, leaving her amazed.
"By the way, here's my passport." Lin Zhenxin took out her passport and handed it to Li Yanan.
Li Yanan glanced at it and carefully put it away.
"By the way, last night... did Li Chengze give you trouble..." Lin Zhenxin suddenly remembered this.
"It's nothing, don't worry." Li Chengze's little tricks were truly nothing to him, although dealing with them took up some time.
"Oh." Lin Zhenxin continued eating with her head down, and soon the two had finished their meal...
When they arrived at the hospital, Tu Wanzi and Tu Shaohong were already waiting in the dean's office.
Seeing them enter, Tu Shaohong snorted coldly, seemingly displeased at having been kept waiting for so long.
Lin Zhenxin's expression was equally unpleasant, but Li Yanan reached out to wrap an arm around her shoulder, shielding her from Tu Shaohong's piercing gaze.
Taking advantage of Lin Zhenxin's momentary distraction, Li Yanan turned his head and locked eyes with Tu Shaohong.
His gaze was both cold and dark, yet he directly suppressed Tu Shaohong!
"There's been a temporary issue, the test results will take another half hour to come out."
Xun Simiao hung up the phone's receiver and said this gravely.
"You can sit for a while, and I'll come back with the compatibility test results in half an hour." After saying this, he left with his work notebook.
Li Yanan and Lin Zhenxin sat on one side, Tu Wanzi and Tu Shaohong sat on the other, along with the bodyguards they brought, the room was quite full.
"Zhenxin..." Tu Wanzi gave a somewhat deliberately appeasing smile, suddenly standing up to take several boxes from the bodyguard, walking toward Lin Zhenxin.
Lin Zhenxin looked at her with intense hatred in her eyes.
"I bought some things for you, please accept them..."
Glancing coldly over the items in Tu Wanzi's hands, she almost laughed in exasperation...
They were all kidney-related health supplements!
Anyone could see through her intentions!
"You already assume the compatibility test results with Tu Haohao are a match?" Lin Zhenxin sneered.
"Even if the test results match, what makes you so sure I'll give up a kidney to save her?"
"If the test results match, you won't have a choice!" Tu Shaohong slammed his cane on the ground with a bang.
Just as Lin Zhenxin was about to speak, a gentle force came from her hand.
It was Li Yanan!
"The compatibility results aren't out yet, it's too early to say anything, as for these items..."
Li Yanan's tall figure stretched comfortably into the pure black leather sofa, his lean frame exuding a natural authority.
Playing with Lin Zhenxin's fingers, just as he did at home, completely at ease despite being in public.
"Lady Tu should keep them for Miss Tu Haohao, since she's the one who's ill, not our Zhenxin."
Tu Wanzi's face turned pale instantly.
Even her hands, carrying various health supplements, trembled uncontrollably with suppressed emotion.
Li Yanan's words had hit her where it hurt, but due to the uncertainty of the test results, she couldn't afford to lose her temper, so she had to endure!
"Li Yanan, don't forget your identity," Tu Shaohong snorted.
