"Who knows what tomorrow will be like?! Xiaonian … To me, every day that I live is a day that I earn. I'm very content. As long as I can see that you have someone to rely on for the rest of your life before I die, I'll be at ease! "
After Bai Xiaonian's father finished speaking, he patted Bai Xiaonian's hand and turned to make the bed.
Actually, Bai Xiaonian's father could vaguely tell that it was probably as Lu Jinnan said. He had done something that Bai Xiaonian couldn't forgive, and that was why Bai Xiaonian was so determined to get a divorce.
But when Bai Xiaonian's father saw Lu Jinnan and how much Lu Jinnan cared for his daughter, he felt that … other than himself, the person who loved his daughter the most in this world was definitely Lu Jinnan!
How could he not understand his own daughter?! If Bai Xiaonian didn't have Lu Jinnan in her heart, Bai Xiaonian's father would even dare to cut off his head and let others kick it like a ball …
Bai Xiaonian, this child, had always been the type to be stubborn since she was young!
Moreover, Lu Jinnan's father liked Bai Xiaonian very much too!
During this period of time, Bai Xiaonian's father had thought about many things. If the two of them weren't able to be together before he passed away, with Bai Xiaonian's stubborn personality, what if Lu Jinnan got tired of her tormenting him … and stopped chasing after her and coaxing her?
Once he died, there would be no one by Bai Xiaonian's side and she would be all alone. What should she do if no one handed her tissues even if she cried at home?
She had been spoiled since she was a child. She couldn't even fold her blanket properly! How was he going to live?!
This child, Lu Jinnan, was steady and mature. Be it in life or career, he was good at it.
With such a person by Bai Xiaonian's side, he could only feel at ease!
As long as they could be together, even if he died … he wouldn't have to worry about Bai Xiaonian anymore.
Bai Xiaonian's father's eyes reddened. He straightened his blanket and massaged his waist, warning Bai Xiaonian fiercely, "Don't throw a tantrum with Lu Jinnan again, do you hear me?!"
Every time Bai Xiaonian's father brought up the issue of life and death, Bai Xiaonian would comply unconditionally. She nodded and watched as her father left her room. Then, she heard her father talking to Lu Jinnan.
"Jinnan, the bed is ready. You can sleep in Xiaonian's room tonight …"
"Dad, how can I let you make the bed for me?!"
"If you were to make the bed in Xiaonian's room, she would definitely chase you out …"
Lu Jinnan was speechless.
He really couldn't refute that.
In the end, Bai Xiaonian's father even made a gesture of encouragement to Lu Jinnan.
His expression seemed to be saying, this young man can only help you this much!
After that, Bai Xiaonian's father returned to his room, hiding his fame and fortune …
After Bai Xiaonian's father returned to his room, the whole room fell silent.
Lu Jinnan limped to the door of Bai Xiaonian's room. He looked at Bai Xiaonian's back view as she sat at her desk and said, "I'll take the blanket and pillow out …"
Bai Xiaonian didn't say anything. She stared intently at the computer screen, thinking about something.
Lu Jinnan thought that she was working, so he didn't disturb her. He folded the blankets and picked up his pillow, preparing to leave when he saw Bai Xiaonian get up. She took out a blanket from the closet and laid it on the floor. She then pulled her pillow and blanket out of bed and said, "I don't want my dad to be sad. You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor …"
"I'll sleep on the floor!" Lu Jinnan said.
To Lu Jinnan, the fact that Bai Xiaonian allowed him to stay in her room was already a great improvement and concession. Lu Jinnan didn't plan on pushing his luck.
Lu Jinnan placed his blanket and pillow on the blanket on the floor and said to Bai Xiaonian with a smile, "It's just a superficial wound. My leg isn't broken … and it's not amputated either. I'll sleep on the floor!"
Bai Xiaonian didn't stand on ceremony with Lu Jinnan. She tidied up her pillow and blanket and threw them onto the bed.
Seeing Bai Xiaonian close her laptop and walk out, Lu Jinnan asked, "It's already so late. Why aren't you resting?"
Bai Xiaonian ignored him …
She worked until 5: 30 am. When Bai Xiaonian returned to her bedroom, she realized that Lu Jinnan wasn't asleep either. He was sitting at her desk and seriously flipping through Bai Xiaonian's photo album when she was young.
Hearing the door open, Lu Jinnan turned around. His mental state was many times better than Bai Xiaonian's.
He closed the photo album and asked, "Are you done? Are you going to sleep now? "
She had been dawdling outside for so long … and he hadn't fallen asleep yet?
Bai Xiaonian didn't say a word to Lu Jinnan. She took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
It was Bai Xiaonian's habit to take a shower before sleeping soundly after staying up all night …
By the time Bai Xiaonian slowly came back from the shower, Lu Jinnan was no longer in the room. There was only a note on the photo album, saying that he had gone out to buy breakfast.
The mattress on the floor had been put away and neatly folded on the chair. Bai Xiaonian got onto the bed and pulled the blanket over her. She closed her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
It was because of what her father had said previously, and also because of the child she had lost.
She lay on the bed and watched as the sky brightened. She heard her father's surprised voice when Lu Jinnan came back with breakfast. She hurriedly asked Lu Jinnan to sit down, saying that Lu Jinnan's leg was still injured.
Bai Xiaonian didn't know if it was because time had passed and the pain of losing her son was gradually healing, but toward Lu Jinnan … her heart started to soften.
She wasn't trying to find excuses for Lu Jinnan, but with Lu Jinnan's personality … it was impossible for him to leave Hong Jinyun alone back then. Although he had a sharp tongue, he was a very gentle man on the inside, and he was a little too sentimental.
Bai Xiaonian's tears streaked down the bridge of her nose. She sniffled and wrapped herself more tightly with the blanket, clutching the clothes around her abdomen.
If the two of them hadn't acted out of spite back then, if Lu Jinnan had told her not to make a fuss, she could have suppressed her pride and told him that she wasn't making a mountain out of a molehill. It was because she was pregnant, and if he had turned around and come back, their child could still have been saved.
The child was gone, and it was their fault!
Bai Xiaonian had never blamed Lu Jinnan alone. That was why she denied her future with Lu Jinnan.
She wiped away her tears with the blanket, asking herself if the saying "a good woman is afraid of a clingy man" was true.
…
Last night, Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng slept the entire night under the blanket. Yun Liuli's eyes were red, and she had to carry Wu Qing to school by taxi.
Earlier at the Cloud Top Condominium, Yun Liuli had hugged Gu Qingcheng and cried countless times. The atmosphere was as if they were going to part forever. She only left after Gu Qingcheng urged her.
In the car, she secretly grumbled about how heartless Gu Qingcheng was. He clearly knew that she didn't know when they would be able to meet again, but he still sent her into the elevator, not giving her any chance to get close to him!
However, when she thought of how Gu Qingcheng had told her to work hard before he left … that he would need her to take care of him when he returned in a few years, Yun Liuli felt as if she had been injected with chicken blood!
