He was willing to fight for a bright future for her … and for their future children.
"One last question!" Tang Zheng said.
"Go ahead!" Lu Jinnan looked at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng smiled and looked at Gu Qingcheng. "Is Old Gu the older or younger brother?"
Lu Jinnan was rendered speechless.
That was up to him …
"Let Lu Jinnan make the arrangements …" Fu Huai 'an said.
…
By the time Fu Huai 'an, Gu Qingcheng, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng finished their discussion and went downstairs, Lin Nuan had already eaten lunch with Yun Liuli and Bai Xiaonian. She asked the servants to heat up lunch for them.
When lunch was served, Gu Qingcheng wasn't in a hurry to eat. He stood under the roof with his hands in his pockets and asked Yun Liuli.
"Have you thought it through? Do you really want to enter the entertainment industry?" Gu Qingcheng asked.
"I don't know …" Yun Liuli looked up at Gu Qingcheng with a disappointed expression. "Sister Xiao Nuan asked me what I like, but I only like you!"
A gentle smile appeared in Gu Qingcheng's eyes. "Mm, I only like you too!"
Hearing this, Yun Liuli's eyes reddened. Her soft body pressed against Gu Qingcheng's, sobbing in his arms.
"Other than me, if you don't know what you like, go ahead and try. You'll eventually find what you like. But promise me … no matter what you do, don't do it half-heartedly, because you won't find joy in doing it half-heartedly, okay?"
Yun Liuli sniffled and nodded. "Then I'll try my best … will you come back as soon as possible?"
Gu Qingcheng's throat vibrated slightly. Seeing the young lady's black and bright eyes filled with anticipation, he almost couldn't resist telling her.
After his throat vibrated, Gu Qingcheng placed his large hand on the young lady's head and stroked it. "Okay, I promise you I'll come back as soon as possible!"
"Then … when are you leaving?" Yun Liuli asked.
"Tonight!" Gu Qingcheng replied.
Yun Liuli bit her lip and tugged at Gu Qingcheng's shirt, pulling him down. She tiptoed and lowered her voice to whisper something into Gu Qingcheng's ear.
Gu Qingcheng's deep eyes trembled. He straightened his body and looked at the young lady whose ears were flushed red.
"Wait for me to come back!" Gu Qingcheng pinched the young lady's slender waist, restraining the emotions in his heart. "Now is not the time!"
Tears welled up in Yun Liuli's eyes. She lowered her head, tears dripping down her cheeks.
Gu Qingcheng sighed and pulled the little girl into his arms. "It'll be quick. Trust me!"
The young lady wasn't in a good mood. She buried her head in Gu Qingcheng's arms and didn't say a word.
Tang Zheng, who was sitting in the dining room, saw Gu Qingcheng comforting the young lady in a low voice outside the door. He turned his head and was about to say something to Lu Jinnan when he saw Lu Jinnan looking toward the living room absentmindedly.
Yes, yes … Bai Xiaonian is in the living room!
Bai Xiaonian and Yun Liuli were both around today, but why did You Nainai leave after sending Lin Nuan back?
If only Nainai was here. Tang Zheng had clearly been with You Nainai last night, but he was already missing her so soon.
Tang Zheng sighed and poked at the rice in his bowl with his chopsticks. Perhaps he was really like what Lu Jinnan said … he had already become a slave to his wife and daughter!
However … he was quite willing to do so!
Tang Zheng thought about how You Nainai was no longer repulsed by him. She would even call him to tell him that You Nainai's mother invited him to their house for a meal! In the past, it was Little Candy who called him …
Tang Zheng nodded in satisfaction at the thought of this. Compared to Lu Jinnan … he couldn't be more blessed. Even now, Bai Xiaonian still didn't like Lu Jinnan at all.
After eating at Fu Huai 'an's place, Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng left to make their own preparations.
When Bai Xiaonian was about to open the car door and leave, Lu Jinnan called out to Bai Xiaonian …
Bai Xiaonian looked at Lu Jinnan and saw him smiling gently at her. "I'll be busy from today onwards, so I won't be staying at home …"
This home was clearly referring to Bai Xiaonian's house.
After a moment of surprise, Bai Xiaonian sneered. "That couldn't be better!"
Lu Jinnan didn't mind. He then said to Bai Xiaonian, "Don't stay up late. It's not good for your health. Take good care of yourself."
Lu Jinnan would be very busy for a long time to come, and he couldn't let Bai Xiaonian and her father know about these things.
"Be careful when you drive back. I'll get Old Fu to arrange for someone to send me later! Don't worry! "
"Who's worried about you?" Bai Xiaonian got into the driver's seat, closed the car door, and started the engine.
Lu Jinnan walked to the car window and knocked on it with one hand on the car roof. "Xiaonian …"
Bai Xiaonian rolled down the car window. "Don't tell me you're going back on your word and want to move into …"
"I love you!"
Lu Jinnan's back was against the light, but his eyes … were brighter than the sun.
Bai Xiaonian looked at Lu Jinnan, and her grip on the steering wheel tightened.
"Drive slowly!" Lu Jinnan's voice was gentle like never before.
Under Lu Jinnan's gaze, she drove out of the Fu residence.
Lu Jinnan kept his hands in his pockets as he looked at the taillights of Bai Xiaonian's car, a gentle smile on his lips.
The most important thing at the moment was Gu Qingcheng's arrangements, so Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan put down whatever they were doing and started making arrangements.
When Lu Jinnan saw Gu Qingcheng … he felt that he had done a terrible job.
Gu Qingcheng dared to risk his life for Yun Liuli, to ensure that she could live a normal life.
But what … did he give Bai Xiaonian?
Lu Jinnan recalled the first time they got together, when he forced himself on Bai Xiaonian in that kind of place, disregarding her wishes.
After that, he thought about it carefully and realized that he hadn't given Bai Xiaonian anything …
On the other hand, when he was in trouble in America, Bai Xiaonian did her best to save him.
Who was the one who loved whom more?
In the past, Lu Jinnan stubbornly felt that he loved Bai Xiaonian more than she loved him!
After all, back then, even when he proposed to her, Bai Xiaonian still chose to turn around and leave.
But now that he thought about it, it seemed that he had never understood Bai Xiaonian as well as Lin Nuan did.
Lin Nuan said that Bai Xiaonian was following in her mother's footsteps …
In Bai Xiaonian's room, Lu Jinnan saw a photo of Bai Xiaonian and her mother, as well as Bai Xiaonian's diary.
He saw the young lady mention countless times in her diary that she missed her mother and wanted to become someone like her mother.
And when he saw Gu Qingcheng risking his life for Yun Liuli's normal life today, he felt that he had done too little for Bai Xiaonian …
Although he shouldn't be doing this, Lu Jinnan wondered if there was a chance for him to use his life in exchange for Bai Xiaonian's safety. Would he be able to obtain Bai Xiaonian's forgiveness and be worthy of her love?
However, Lu Jinnan didn't wish for Bai Xiaonian to really encounter danger.
Under the sunlight, Lu Jinnan had both hands in his pockets, his eyes narrowed and reddened.
