Lu Jinnan would take care of Hong Jinyun because of his guilt.
Now that he knew that Bai Xiaonian had lost their child, was it because of his guilt that he treated her well?
Bai Xiaonian couldn't tell. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
Bai Xiaonian turned and sat back on the sofa, taking out a pack of ladies' cigarettes from her bag. She shook out a thin and long peppermint cigarette and bit it at the corner of her lips. She pressed the lighter, and behind the flickering flame … was Bai Xiaonian's stunning and alluring features.
She casually tossed the lighter onto the coffee table. Back then, when Bai Xiaonian was pregnant, she had thought that … for the sake of the child, she could accept Lu Jinnan taking care of Hong Jinyun.
However, this care was enough in terms of money. As long as Lu Jinnan didn't get too involved with Hong Jinyun, Bai Xiaonian wouldn't find it unacceptable.
Now, Lu Jinnan didn't wait for Bai Xiaonian to say so. Unfortunately, it was too late …
Their child was gone, and Bai Xiaonian didn't want to be with Lu Jinnan anymore.
Warm liquid seeped out from the corner of her eyes. Bai Xiaonian gently wiped away her tears with her long and slender fingers that held the cigarette. She tapped away the ashes and tucked her stray hair behind her ear, exhaling a thin puff of smoke. Her emotions seemed to have calmed down.
Bai Xiaonian went downstairs. She wanted to leave …
She had just pulled open the French windows that led to the back garden when the bodyguard came up to her. "Miss Bai, where are you going?"
Bai Xiaonian glanced at the bodyguard. "Lu Jinnan instructed you guys not to go to the back garden and can only stay in the house?"
The honest bodyguard said honestly, "Mr. Lu instructed us not to let Bai Xiaonian leave the villa."
"The garden doesn't belong to the villa?" Bai Xiaonian asked.
Just as the bodyguard was thinking about it, Bai Xiaonian had already turned and returned to the house.
Indeed, Lu Jinnan was still Lu Jinnan. He only knew how to use force! Bai Xiaonian's countenance turned even colder.
…
Lu Jinnan drove to Haicheng Affiliated Hospital. Bai Jinyu had already informed the colleagues on duty at the hospital to give Lu Jinnan the medicine. When Bai Jinyu returned Lu Jinnan's call, he asked, "Why do you want sleeping pills again? Don't tell me you have insomnia like Old Fu? Is it because … you fell out with Bai Xiaonian? "
Lu Jinnan held the steering wheel with one hand and didn't reply.
Bai Jinyu frowned. "That shouldn't be the case. None of you went to Old Fu's place. Didn't you go to do something indescribable?"
For some reason, Lu Jinnan was reminded of the child he and Bai Xiaonian had lost. His throat vibrated as he said, "I'll hang up first …"
"I can give you the sleeping pills, but don't learn from Xiao Liuli …"
Bai Jinyu was referring to how Yun Liuli had drugged Gu Qingcheng with sleeping pills in an attempt to take him down.
"Bai Xiaonian isn't Old Gu. If you drug her with sleeping pills and do something, based on Bai Xiaonian's personality … you can forget about reconciling with her in the future. Do you understand, Old Lu?!"
Bai Jinyu was worried for Lu Jinnan from the bottom of his heart …
Now he had gotten married!
Looking at Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng, the two of them were pretty close!
Bai Jinyu could tell the relationship between Tang Zheng and You Nainai at the dining table today. When Tang Zheng picked lychee prawn balls for You Nainai, You Nainai blushed, but she still ate them.
Lu Jinnan was the only one left. He felt like he was still worlds apart from Bai Xiaonian … happiness was still a long way off.
"I know.
Note: Please rest your eyes when reading for a long time. You don't have to worry about this! "
You don't have to worry about this! "Lu Jinnan's voice was very indifferent. He then hung up the phone.
When Lu Jinnan returned from the hospital with the sleeping pills, he poured some warm water downstairs and went upstairs with the pills …
The bedroom door wasn't closed, and there was a strong smell of cigarettes inside. Lu Jinnan frowned slightly as he came in with a glass of water. He saw Bai Xiaonian flipping through the remote control in boredom.
Her slender and fair fingers were holding a lady's cigarette. He walked over to sit on the coffee table and put down the glass of water. He took the cigarette from Bai Xiaonian's hand and turned to put it out in the ashtray that was already full of cigarette butts.
He smiled at Bai Xiaonian. "I'm already back, right in front of you. You don't have to miss me … Don't smoke so much! Come … take your medicine! "
Bai Xiaonian saw Lu Jinnan pass the glass of water to her, so she reached out to take it. She then saw Lu Jinnan attentively take out the pills and pass them to Bai Xiaonian. She put the pills in her mouth, drank some water, and swallowed it. "I don't usually smoke so much. Isn't it because I'm trapped here with you and can't get out? I'm feeling frustrated!"
"Also … you misunderstood what I meant when I said I missed you. I was thinking about the things you did, not you as a person!" Bai Xiaonian held the glass of water and curled up on the sofa, smiling beautifully.
"Mm!" Lu Jinnan looked at Bai Xiaonian and nodded. "Then I'll strive to make you happy when you think of me one day! Take your medicine … and have a good sleep. "
"Lu Jinnan, let's not beat around the bush. Are you planning to force me to stay here from today onwards?"
Lu Jinnan hesitated for a moment, as if deliberating how to say it. But in the end, he still nodded. "I'm not forcing you. I just hope you can stay here!"
"But I don't want you to get what you want …" Bai Xiaonian was still smiling lightly, and it pierced Lu Jinnan's heart.
"Then I'll work hard to make you stay!" Lu Jinnan propped his hands on both sides of Bai Xiaonian's legs and moved closer to her, trying to press his forehead against hers.
Bai Xiaonian turned her head and moved away from Lu Jinnan. The hand that was holding the cigarette earlier was now pressed against Lu Jinnan's chest. "How are you going to work hard? Do it again?"
"I'm not thinking of that, and I won't do that, unless …" Lu Jinnan's Adam's apple bobbed. "Unless you agree …"
"Then give up on that thought!" Bai Xiaonian's lips still had that faint, emotionless smile on them, cold and distant.
"People have to have hope when they're alive. You're my hope!" Lu Jinnan's low and hoarse voice sounded very sincere.
In the end, Lu Jinnan restrained his urge to kiss Bai Xiaonian. He straightened his body and heard Bai Xiaonian say, "I still need a phone charger. Before I came here, there was only 4% left."
"Have a good sleep first. Tomorrow, we'll go shopping. We'll make up for everything you lack, okay?" Lu Jinnan sounded like he was coaxing a child.
"Then what if my phone runs out of battery? What if you need to contact me for urgent matters at work, or … my dad needs to contact me for urgent matters? "
"I've sent Dad his home number. Put aside work for now … Look at your dark circles, they're almost like those of a panda. It's not too late to go back to work after a few days of rest!" Lu Jinnan persuaded her gently.
Bai Xiaonian didn't say anything.
"The sleeping pills will take effect in about 20 minutes. I'll go warm up a glass of milk for you. I don't think you ate much for dinner. You're so skinny now that you're just a bag of bones. How about a piece of cake? You can only sleep soundly after you're full. "
Before Bai Xiaonian could reject him, Lu Jinnan had already gone downstairs …
