At the mention of the child, Lu Jinnan choked up and couldn't speak …
He lowered his gaze and calmed his emotions for a moment, then raised his hand to hold the back of Bai Xiaonian's head and pressed his forehead against hers. "This is the stupidest and most damned mistake I've ever made in my life! I hope Xiaonian can give me a chance to redeem myself, okay?"
Bai Xiaonian had been very calm. She was calmly held in Lu Jinnan's arms, calmly listening to Lu Jinnan sob and cry. She didn't even blink!
"In the future, I won't be angry with you anymore. I won't be arrogant in front of you anymore!" Lu Jinnan hugged Bai Xiaonian tightly.
"Send me home!" Bai Xiaonian's voice was cold.
After hugging Bai Xiaonian for a long time, Lu Jinnan nodded. "Let's go home!"
The "home" Lu Jinnan was referring to was clearly different from the "home" Bai Xiaonian was referring to.
When Lu Jinnan parked the car in front of a villa, Bai Xiaonian turned her head to look at Lu Jinnan, who was turning off the engine. "What do you mean?"
"This is our home!" Lu Jinnan pushed open the car door.
The matter of the child had become Lu Jinnan's biggest wound. From today onwards, he would do his best to make it up to Bai Xiaonian.
Before Bai Xiaonian could figure out what he meant, Lu Jinnan had already gotten out of the car. He opened the door to the front passenger seat, then bent over to help Bai Xiaonian unbuckle her seatbelt. Without waiting for Bai Xiaonian to resist, he carried her in his arms.
"Lu Jinnan …" Bai Xiaonian gazed at Lu Jinnan with her dark eyes, her cold voice filled with warning.
Lu Jinnan carried Bai Xiaonian into the house as he said, "I bought this villa when I planned to marry you. It was decorated according to the style you liked. I wanted to give you a surprise."
Even though Lu Jinnan was angry and indignant at that time, he still looked forward to their future. So, although Bai Xiaonian wasn't in the country, Lu Jinnan still renovated the place according to plan, thinking that Bai Xiaonian would move in when she came back.
As he said that, Lu Jinnan carried Bai Xiaonian and entered his fingerprint, then pushed the door open with his foot.
The sensor lights in the room lit up. The simple yet warm decoration was indeed the type Bai Xiaonian liked.
Lu Jinnan carried Bai Xiaonian to the sofa and gently put her down. He sounded more like he was talking to himself. "I'll give Dad a call, lest he worries about you!"
Ever since Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian got married, Lu Jinnan had started calling Bai Xiaonian's father "Dad" very smoothly.
He removed his suit jacket and placed it on the back of the sofa, then dialed Bai Xiaonian's father's landline.
"Dad, I'm Jinnan. Xiaonian is coming home with me, so I'm letting you know lest you worry!" Lu Jinnan's attitude was very good. He went to the kitchen to boil some hot water. "Right, we're not going home tonight! Dad, don't worry! I'll take good care of Xiaonian! Mm … okay, Dad, rest early!"
Bai Xiaonian listened to Lu Jinnan and her father on the phone. She picked up her bag and walked to the door, but her hand was on the doorknob, but she couldn't open the door.
In the kitchen, Lu Jinnan called Fu Huai 'an again. The gist of it was that he wanted to resign and stay at home to accompany Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian frowned. She turned and saw that Lu Jinnan had hung up the call and was coming out of the kitchen. He put his phone in his pocket and said to Bai Xiaonian in a low voice, "This set of combination locks was developed and produced by a company under Tang Zheng's name. You can only enter and exit with a fingerprint. I haven't had the time to enter your fingerprint. I'll get Tang Zheng to send someone over tomorrow to help you!"
He didn't seem to notice that Bai Xiaonian was about to leave. He stood at the kitchen door and spoke in a low voice.
Lu Jinnan had already told Fu Huai 'an that he planned to resign from his job and stay at home to accompany Bai Xiaonian. The shares in the various companies he owned were enough for Lu Jinnan to support Bai Xiaonian.
But Fu Huai 'an didn't agree to it. He said that he would give Lu Jinnan a leave of absence, so long that he didn't know when he would return. The position of the Kaide Corporation's president would still be reserved for Lu Jinnan.
Hearing that Bai Xiaonian was about to leave, Lu Jinnan didn't tell Fu Huai 'an in detail over the phone. He agreed first. As expected, the moment he came out, he saw that Bai Xiaonian was about to leave.
Bai Xiaonian pointed at the door lock. "Open the door!"
"Aren't you going to take a look? Our house …" Lu Jinnan walked up to Bai Xiaonian, his broad shoulders blocking most of the light, enveloping Bai Xiaonian's figure.
Bai Xiaonian frowned slightly. "Lu Jinnan, what's the point of doing this? We can't go back!"
"Xiaonian, let's not say things out of anger. From today onwards, watch my performance, okay?" Lu Jinnan grabbed Bai Xiaonian's shoulders and pulled her into his embrace. "From today onwards, I'll tell you everything that's on my mind. Whether I'm happy or unhappy, I'll tell you everything!"
Bai Xiaonian didn't utter a sound. Lu Jinnan held her petite hand and placed it on his chest, saying in a low voice, "For example, right now. My heart hurts … it hurts a lot! Only by keeping you by my side can the pain in my heart ease a little!"
"Xiaonian, I've never been good at expressing my inner thoughts to others, but I'm willing to learn to do so for you. I'll say more and do more!"
Lu Jinnan said a lot of things today, and they all came from his heart. He basically said whatever was on his mind, with the goal of keeping Bai Xiaonian by his side.
Lu Jinnan had just finished speaking when the phone in his pocket vibrated …
Bai Xiaonian placed her hand on Lu Jinnan's chest. "Your phone?"
Lu Jinnan frowned and took it out to take a look. It was Hong Jinyun's mother.
Bai Xiaonian swept her gaze over, a hint of a smile on her lips as she looked up at Lu Jinnan. "Aren't you going to pick it up? What if something happens to Hong Jinyun again?"
In front of Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan's throat vibrated, and he hung up the call. He dialed his assistant's number and turned on the speaker. "Hello?"
"President Lu …"
"Contact Hong Jinyun's mother. If she needs any help, just make the decision. Tell Hong Jinyun's mother that from today onwards, she can contact you directly if she needs anything. There's no need to call me. Tell her that all the help I'm giving Hong Jinyun now is to repay what I feel I owe Hong Jinyun. If Hong Jinyun doesn't accept it, it means that she doesn't need it. In the future, she doesn't even need to contact you."
When Lu Jinnan's assistant heard this, he agreed without hesitation. "President Lu, don't worry. I'll definitely handle this matter well!"
After hanging up the call, Lu Jinnan switched off his phone and casually placed it in Bai Xiaonian's bag. He then took out Bai Xiaonian's phone, switched it off, and placed it in his pocket. He said, "From now onwards, I'll only be by your side. I won't let anyone disturb you."
Bai Xiaonian looked at Lu Jinnan and didn't say a word. Her clean and pretty eyes didn't waver.
"You haven't had dinner yet. The fridge at home is empty. I'll get someone to send you some food. What do you want to eat?" Lu Jinnan put his arm around Bai Xiaonian's shoulders and walked from the entryway to the sofa, placing her on it.
The first time …
