The TV screen made Bai Xiaonian's pale face flicker. She leaned against the back of the sofa and stared at Crayon Shin-chan, who was being chased and beaten by his mother. A warm smile actually appeared on her lips.
By the time Lu Jinnan brought the cheesecake and milk up, Bai Xiaonian had already fallen asleep against the sofa with a frown …
Lu Jinnan placed the cake and milk on the coffee table, then bent over to carry Bai Xiaonian and gently placed her on the soft bed.
Even though Bai Xiaonian had taken the medicine, she still didn't sleep well. Her slight movements made her frown even more. Lu Jinnan lay down beside Bai Xiaonian and gently patted her body, coaxing her like he was coaxing a child.
After a long time, Bai Xiaonian's frown finally relaxed along with her even breathing.
Lu Jinnan's heart ached terribly as he gazed at Bai Xiaonian's beautiful features …
After losing the child, Bai Xiaonian must have had a hard time alone, right?
Especially when he thought about how their child was lost when Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian were in a fit of pique, Lu Jinnan hated himself.
Lu Jinnan's hand gently reached under Bai Xiaonian's pajamas. It had nothing to do with her privacy. He touched Bai Xiaonian's ribs, which were almost distinct. One could imagine how skinny Bai Xiaonian was.
He remembered that when Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian were together, she would always pinch the fat in her stomach and frown when she woke up in the morning, asking why the fat didn't grow on her chest or why it just disappeared.
Lu Jinnan would always smile and nod in agreement, then Bai Xiaonian would throw a pillow at him.
Now that the fat had really disappeared, Lu Jinnan's heart ached terribly.
After returning from America, it wasn't that Lu Jinnan didn't resent Bai Xiaonian and was angry at her. But when he resented and was angry, what kind of torture did Bai Xiaonian go through?
What kind of torture did a heartless and talkative girl like Bai Xiaonian become so skinny?
Afraid that Bai Xiaonian would feel disgusted when she woke up the next morning and saw him sleeping on the same bed as her, Lu Jinnan, who hadn't slept all night, got up at 6: 30 am to cover Bai Xiaonian with the blanket and go next door.
Bai Xiaonian woke up at 10: 30 am. She originally thought that she would sleep badly even if she took the medicine after changing beds, but when she woke up in the morning, she was surprised to find that her head felt the most comfortable in the past few months.
Bai Xiaonian subconsciously reached for her phone, but when she didn't turn it on, she remembered that her phone had run out of battery last night.
The milk and cheesecake from last night were still on the coffee table. Bai Xiaonian had already forgotten when she fell asleep, but she remembered that she ended up on the sofa.
Guessing that Lu Jinnan had carried her to the bed, she went to the bathroom to wash up, changed into the clothes she had brought over yesterday, and went downstairs with her bag.
"Miss Bai …" Lu Jinnan's Xiaonian's assistant came to her with a smile.
Lu Jinnan's assistant was there to deliver some documents to Lu Jinnan. These were things that Lu Jinnan needed to handle before he went on leave, as well as some work arrangements.
"Lu Lu." Lu Lu Lu Xiaonian's Assistant and said …
"Miss Bai's car has been sent to the 4S shop. You can get it back the day after tomorrow," the assistant said with a smile.
"You're awake. Breakfast has already been reheated many times. Do you want to eat?" Lu Jinnan saw Bai Xiaonian come downstairs, so he signed the document and turned to ask her.
"Mom … I … I Xiax … I Chu … I Lu … I Dong.
"We're going shopping today!" Lu Jinnan saw Bai Xiaonian go downstairs and sign the document. "We can buy you anything you need!"
Bai Xiaonian held onto the railing and smiled at Lu Jinnan. "You're not even letting me go home?"
Lu Jinnan didn't lie. He nodded. "I'm afraid you won't come back with me after you go home. You might even chase me out. With Dad at home, I won't be able to do anything!"
Bai Xiaonian leaned against the handrail and put her bag on her shoulder. "Lu Jinnan, there are times you're afraid too?"
"Yes, I'm afraid of anything that has to do with you!" Lu Jinnan answered calmly.
The assistant looked at Lu Jinnan in shock. She didn't expect President Lu to have such a side to him, to admit defeat so calmly!
Bai Xiaonian's smile was even brighter than before. She asked, "What if I insist on going home?"
Lu Jinnan was silent for a moment. "Then I'll accompany you!"
In front of Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan was willing to compromise unconditionally.
"Then let's go!" Bai Xiaonian walked down the last flight of stairs.
"But I have a condition. Even if you don't want to come back with me in the end, don't chase me out of the house! I just want to accompany you. I'll stay quietly by the side and won't disturb you," Lu Jinnan pleaded.
"What if I don't agree?"
"I'll wait for you to agree!" Lu Jinnan looked gentle.
Lu Jinnan wasn't threatening her. He was just expressing his determination to Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian nodded. "Okay!"
Bai Xiaonian didn't think she was a gentleman. As long as she could achieve her goal, she didn't mind going back on her word and rejecting Lu Jinnan.
From the villa to the Bai house, Lu Jinnan was rejected by Bai Xiaonian as expected!
Lu Jinnan watched Bai Xiaonian close the door, his eyes full of indulgent smiles …
At this time, Bai Xiaonian's father should be playing chess. When Bai Xiaonian's father came back later, Lu Jinnan would be able to enter, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Bai Xiaonian's father liked Lu Jinnan as a son-in-law. From experience, Bai Xiaonian's father could tell that Lu Jinnan was a man who valued relationships and felt that he was a good match for his loyal daughter.
As expected, when Bai Xiaonian's father came back with the eggs, milk, and fresh fruits he bought from the supermarket, he saw Lu Jinnan standing by the car downstairs. He paused for a moment, then smiled. "Jinnan, you're here!"
"Dad!" Lu Jinnan smiled and reached out to take the things from Bai Xiaonian's father. "I just sent Xiaonian back. Xiaonian won't let me in!"
"This Xiaonian …" Bai Xiaonian's father chided, then asked Lu Jinnan, "Did Xiaonian throw a tantrum at you again?"
Lu Jinnan smiled and shook his head. "No, I made Xiaonian angry!"
As Bai Xiaonian's father went upstairs with Lu Jinnan, he said, "Don't try to cover for her. Don't I know her temper? But Jinnan, although Xiaonian has a bad temper, she has a good heart. It's just that she's a little impulsive sometimes. Don't take it to heart. We're men, so we have to give in to women. Don't you think so?"
Bai Xiaonian's father was still biased towards his daughter. He wanted to put in a good word for his daughter in front of his son-in-law, so that Lu Jinnan wouldn't take it to heart that Bai Xiaonian wouldn't let him in.
