"Brother …" Lu Jinbei was also carrying bags of various sizes. He put them aside and got up to call out to Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinbei wasn't in a hurry to change his shoes. Instead, he reached out to hold Cai Jingyao's hand and generously introduced her to Lu Jinnan. "This is my fiancée, Cai Jingyao!"
Bai Xiaonian leaned back on the sofa in a very comfortable position. She brought a piece of fruit that Lu Jinnan had cut to her mouth and didn't say anything.
Lu Jinnan stood by the coffee table with one hand in his pocket. He didn't say anything, nor did he size up Cai Jingyao. Instead, he stared at Lu Jinbei.
"Xiao Bei and Xiao Cai are back!"
Lu Jinnan's father came out of the bathroom and saw Lu Jinbei and Cai Jingyao standing at the door. He smiled and greeted them.
"It's hot outside, right?" Lu Jinnan's father smiled and said, "Come in and wash your hands. There's some iced watermelon in the fridge. I'll go cut it for you!"
"Uncle, don't bother!" Cai Jingyao smiled and bent over to pick out a few straps from the pile of bags on the floor. She picked them up and walked towards the sofa. "Uncle, I bought a few sets of clothes for you. Come and see if you like them!"
Lu Jinnan's father was stunned. He quickly waved his hand. "No need, no need! You and Xiao Bei can return them! I'm already so old! Why should I wear new clothes?"
Cai Jingyao walked in with a smile and placed the bag on the table. She picked up a T-shirt and said, "Who says that you don't need to dress up when you're old? Uncle, you look ten years younger when you dress up!"
Cai Jingyao then took out the T-shirt from the bag and gestured at Lu Jinnan's father. She continued, "I wanted to buy shoes, but Xiao Bei said that it's not easy to buy shoes. He said that you need to try them on. Your legs aren't very good, so you're very picky about shoes. Xiao Bei and I will accompany you to buy them some other day. I'll help you match them, okay?"
Even Lu Jinnan's father couldn't help but nod in gratitude. "Won't that be too much trouble for you?"
"Uncle, you're treating me like an outsider!"
Bai Xiaonian sat on the sofa and watched Cai Jingyao's performance, eating fruits without any pressure.
Lu Jinbei changed his shoes and came in with bags of various sizes. He casually placed them beside the sofa and couldn't help but meet Bai Xiaonian's eyes.
Lu Jinbei shifted his gaze and looked at Cai Jingyao, who was helping his father try on another piece of clothing. His brows were furrowed, but when he saw how happy his father was, his brows relaxed.
"Uncle likes the clothes very much. Sorry for the trouble!" Lu Jinnan's father smiled and said to Cai Jingyao, "Rest for a while. I'll go cut some fruits for you!"
"Okay, I'll wash my hands and come over to help!" Cai Jingyao put the clothes into the bag and went to wash her hands as if she was at home. Then, she went to the kitchen.
On the other hand, Lu Jinbei sat awkwardly on the single-seater sofa, looking a little uneasy.
He placed his elbows on his knees, clasped his hands together, and said in a low voice, "Are you guys going to ask me why I ended up with Cai Jingyao?"
Without waiting for Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan to reply, Lu Jinbei rushed to say, "I'm with Cai Jingyao, not to cause trouble for you guys."
"Who you are with has nothing to do with us." Lu Jinnan's deep voice was calm. "I just hope that you can think clearly about whether you really like that Cai Jingyao, and why you got together with her. Don't let yourself regret it for the rest of your life."
Lu Jinbei lowered his gaze even more. He stared at his toes and pursed his lips. "Can I be with her just because I say I like her?"
Lu Jinnan understood the hidden meaning in Lu Jinbei's words. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his dark eyes were dark.
"Of course, if you really like Cai Jingyao, it wouldn't be considered disgusting for us if you got together with her. If it's because of something else, you won't be disgusting us. You'll just be disgusting yourself for the rest of your life. "
Bai Xiaonian's words had always been so sharp.
Lu Jinbei clasped his hands together tightly, his knuckles turning white. After a long while, he raised his head and looked in Bai Xiaonian's direction. Meeting Bai Xiaonian's clear and clean eyes, his eyes trembled. He swallowed the hurtful words he was about to say in the end.
He changed his words to express what he meant. "Then, do you feel especially happy that you married my brother and became my sister-in-law? Do you feel especially disgusted by me?"
"I'm very happy!" Bai Xiaonian intertwined her slender and beautiful fingers with Lu Jinnan's. "Because I love this man. All my happiness and happiness are given to me by this man! It has nothing to do with you! You're Jinnan's younger brother, so it's true that you're very important to Jinnan, but not to me!"
There was a slight mocking smile on Lu Jinbei's lips. He turned to look at Lu Jinnan. "She said that I'm very important to you?"
Lu Jinnan nodded. "Of course!"
Ever since Lu Jindong passed away, Lu Jinnan's indulgence and doting toward Lu Jinbei was something that even Tang Zheng couldn't stand.
Lu Jinbei's lips trembled. He placed both hands on the coffee table and looked straight at Lu Jinnan, his eyes bloodshot. He lowered his voice, as if he was afraid his father, who was in the kitchen, would hear him. "Since I'm important to you, you clearly know what Bai Xiaonian means to me. Why did you do this? There are so many women in the world, so why did you have to snatch mine? Isn't it very satisfying to snatch your younger brother's woman? Hmm?"
"What do I mean to you for you to have sex with my best friend in the same dormitory behind my back? Hmm?" Bai Xiaonian asked.
Lu Jinnan held Bai Xiaonian's hand. He knew that Bai Xiaonian was trying to protect him. This woman had always been protective of him.
But at a time like this, it wasn't the time for a man to hide behind a woman …
Indeed, Lu Jinbei was rendered speechless. He gritted his teeth and leaned back against the sofa. "I know it's my fault!"
"So you plan to keep making mistakes?" Bai Xiaonian asked again.
Lu Jinbei didn't say a word.
"So, you married this Madam Cai out of spite? To anger us?" Lu Jinnan asked.
Lu Jinbei lowered his head and saw that there was cigarette ash on his trousers. He casually flicked it with his finger and said, "We're already at the age to get married. Dad gets nagged almost every day, and he doesn't have anyone suitable by his side. Back then, it was my first time with Cai Jingyao. After so many years, we haven't had anyone else by our side, so we might as well get together!"
Bai Xiaonian was speechless.
Hur hur, how straightforward!
"How do you know that she hasn't had anyone else by her side for so many years?" Bai Xiaonian couldn't help but laugh. She leaned back against the sofa and said, "Lu Jinbei, you're already an adult, so how can you be so naive? Do you still remember when the video of Cai Jingyao and Song Yao talking about a mistress was leaked? Who do you think made the video, and why? Ask Cai Jingyao if she knows Song Yao's husband in Morocco!
