There was a gentle smile in Lu Jinnan's eyes as he raised his hand to brush away the strands of hair that were stuck to her red lips.
Seeing that Bai Xiaonian didn't say anything, Lu Jinnan continued, "Even if you're competing with me and don't want to talk to me … don't let your body suffer."
Lu Jinnan's voice was gentle. He squatted down in front of Bai Xiaonian, kneading her clean and pretty little hand as he lowered his gaze. "Because I'm not worth it!"
Lu Jinnan's attitude was very gentle. He wanted to do everything he could to treat Bai Xiaonian well, in all aspects.
"Are you planning to lock me up here from today onwards?" Bai Xiaonian asked.
"I'll get Tang Zheng's men to come over tomorrow morning to enter your fingerprint. This is our home, and you can always come and go as you please!" Lu Jinnan said.
Bai Xiaonian's expression was still cold as she asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't come back after I leave?"
"It's okay, I'll follow you … I'll go wherever you go!" Lu Jinnan smiled and continued the topic of eating with Bai Xiaonian. "What do you want to eat? Sweet and sour spare ribs and spicy prawns? "
"Lu Jinnan, just talk to yourself!" Bai Xiaonian knew that she wouldn't be able to leave today, so she placed her bag by her side and leaned against the sofa, speaking calmly.
Since Lu Jinnan had decided to be submissive in front of Bai Xiaonian, he wasn't afraid that it would make her even more arrogant. He arranged for his clothes and a few sets of women's clothing for dinner, as well as daily necessities and a nanny.
No one had lived in the new residence before, so there was nothing here. Lu Jinnan had brought Bai Xiaonian over on a whim and hadn't made any preparations … so he couldn't avoid making arrangements now.
"I think it's enough to hire a nanny to clean up and cook. You've been driving so many times … and the car door was either smashed open or rear-ended. In the future, get a chauffeur to pick you up! What do you think? "Lu Jinnan continued to squat in front of Bai Xiaonian as he discussed with her.
"As long as you're happy!" Bai Xiaonian's lips turned up a little coldly.
Bai Xiaonian's words were full of sarcasm, but Lu Jinnan nodded. "Okay, then we'll make arrangements like this for now."
"Hur …" Bai Xiaonian chuckled and crossed her long legs, putting some distance between them.
The tip of Bai Xiaonian's shoe swept past Lu Jinnan's well-ironed trousers, leaving a mark. He wasn't angry, though. He propped his hands by Bai Xiaonian's sides and sat down on the coffee table, facing Bai Xiaonian. He could hear the sound of the kettle boiling. He asked, "I wanted to make you some hot tea, but I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well if you drink tea at this hour. How about plain water?"
Bai Xiaonian had never thought that Lu Jinnan had a pair of gentle eyes, but right now, they were filled with tenderness.
Bai Xiaonian didn't reply. Lu Jinnan just sat opposite Bai Xiaonian without moving.
"Lu Jinnan, what are you doing? To make up for the loss of my child? " Bai Xiaonian's voice was no longer choked up like when she was talking about the child in the car. It was very cold and emotionless.
The word 'child' pierced Lu Jinnan's heart …
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he bent over to hold Bai Xiaonian's hands, wanting to warm her ice-cold fingers. He lowered his head and didn't say a word.
If he could turn back time, Lu Jinnan was willing to save their child at all costs!
Lu Jinnan took a long time to suppress the emotions in his heart, then looked up at Bai Xiaonian. "It's not to make up for it. It's that from today onwards … I only want to love you without any distractions!"
The two of them looked at each other in silence until the assistant arranged for someone to send over daily necessities and dinner. He even brought over Auntie Dong, who was in charge of cooking and cleaning at home.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and the food was still hot when it was sent over.
Lu Jinnan instructed Auntie Dong to prepare to serve dinner on a different plate. He unbuttoned his shirt collar and asked Bai Xiaonian, "Change your clothes and wash your hands before eating?"
It had to be said that Lu Jinnan's assistant was very considerate. The home clothes that he prepared for Bai Xiaonian had already been dried and brought over.
Bai Xiaonian knew that she couldn't leave tonight, and she didn't want to argue with herself. She took a set of clothes and the toiletries and skincare products that Lu Jinnan had asked someone to prepare. "Return my phone to me after dinner!"
Lu Jinnan nodded. "Okay!"
Hence, Bai Xiaonian asked, "Where's the guest room?"
"Upstairs, turn left, and the innermost room …" Lu Jinnan was referring to their master bedroom.
Bai Xiaonian went upstairs to the bathroom to remove her makeup and wash her face. She dawdled for a long time, and when she came out, Auntie Dong had already started to lay out the bedsheets.
"Madam, the food has been reheated. Quickly go downstairs and eat!" Auntie Dong said to Bai Xiaonian with a smile.
"I'm not Madam. You can call me Miss Bai or Bai Xiaonian …" Bai Xiaonian casually closed the bathroom door.
Auntie Dong paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "Okay … Miss Bai!"
Bai Xiaonian squeezed some hand cream onto the back of her hand and walked downstairs lazily while applying it. It was almond-flavored hand cream, the brand that Bai Xiaonian often used in the past.
However, ever since she found out that she was pregnant, Bai Xiaonian stopped using scented hand cream. Later on, she seemed to have gotten used to not using it anymore …
Bai Xiaonian saw that it was in the bag of skincare products, so she applied some. However, she realized that the scent that she used to like … no longer liked it that much.
Bai Xiaonian felt that the way she treated Lu Jinnan was probably the same as how she treated almond-flavored hand cream … She didn't like Lu Jinnan as much as before, but when she saw his dejected and reddened eyes, her heart still stirred and ached.
When she went downstairs, she asked herself how much she used to love Lu Jinnan … She had never thought about this question. Even now, when she clearly wanted to separate from him, she still couldn't bear to see his eyes redden.
Were all women's hearts like this?!
Bai Xiaonian went downstairs and quietly sat down to eat.
Putting down her chopsticks, Bai Xiaonian said to Lu Jinnan, who had been picking food for her and watching her eat, "Phone!"
Lu Jinnan kept his promise and handed the phone to Bai Xiaonian.
She took the phone and got up. Without even looking at Lu Jinnan, she quietly went upstairs to rest.
Lu Jinnan stood at the door of the master bedroom. He wanted to go in, but he was afraid that Bai Xiaonian would be disgusted. He said goodnight to Bai Xiaonian at the door in a low voice, then pressed his large hand against the door, unwilling to leave.
Inside was the only woman that Lu Jinnan wanted to treasure and love wholeheartedly. However, he hurt her and even harmed their child!
Bai Xiaonian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. She looked at the two bodyguards guarding the door of the villa. Based on her understanding of Lu Jinnan, she probably wouldn't be able to leave this villa tomorrow, right?
Accompany her?
Hur …
Knowing that Lu Jinnan must be outside the door, Bai Xiaonian said, "Are you planning to let me stay in this villa with you forever?"
Hearing Bai Xiaonian's voice, Lu Jinnan grabbed the door handle. He wanted to open the door, but he hesitated. "Xiaonian, we're husband and wife! Husband and wife … should be together to begin with! "
