Lu Jinbei frowned and didn't say a word.
Bai Xiaonian continued, "What did she say to you? She said that she didn't have any other men by her side all these years, that she only loved you?"
Lu Jinbei seemed surprised that Bai Xiaonian knew what Cai Jingyao had said to him. He looked up at Bai Xiaonian.
"Heh, as expected!" Bai Xiaonian smiled. "No matter how affectionate she sounded, you're just a spare tire, a spare tire that was arranged 800 meters away!"
Lu Jinnan was speechless.
Bai Xiaonian was really protective and straightforward. Wasn't she afraid of offending her brother-in-law by saying this?
As expected, Lu Jinbei's expression turned ugly.
"Because you're Lu Jinnan's younger brother. I didn't want Jinnan to be sad, so I told you everything I know in advance. As for what you'll choose in the future, be it happiness or getting hurt!" Bai Xiaonian turned to look at Lu Jinnan. "Don't feel guilty because of this, because we've already told him everything we can, okay?"
Lu Jinnan's heart skipped a beat …
So, Bai Xiaonian said so much because she was afraid that he would feel guilty in the future?
The softest part of Lu Jinnan's heart felt as if a breeze had brushed past it, making him feel extremely comfortable.
Lu Jinbei also looked up in Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan's direction. Bai Xiaonian's loving gaze pierced Lu Jinbei's heart.
There was a time when Bai Xiaonian had looked at him like that, but in the end, he had lost her.
"Have some fruit!" Cai Jingyao came out with the fruit that Lu Jinnan's father had cut. She knelt down and placed it on the coffee table, then called out to Bai Xiaonian, "Xiaonian, you're pregnant now, so you should eat more fruit. That way, the child will be fair and tender when he's born. But you're fair to begin with, so the child's skin won't be bad."
Bai Xiaonian only smiled and didn't reply to Cai Jingyao. Instead, she picked up the fruit that Lu Jinnan had cut for her and started eating it.
Lu Jinnan's father had washed his hands and was wiping them with a kitchen towel. He poked his head out and said, "Xiao Cai just said that you used to go to the same school as Xiaonian. Xiaonian was a popular figure in university!"
Bai Xiaonian's gaze swept over Cai Jingyao. "Back then, Nuan Nuan was a popular figure in school, right? Don't I count?"
"Not at all. Everyone in school says that Nuan Nuan and Xiaonian are on par with each other in terms of looks. They're both the prettiest girls in school. Isn't that right, Xiao Bei?" Cai Jingyao interrupted and passed the question to Lu Jinbei.
After learning about Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinbei's past, Lu Jinnan's father felt a little awkward. He thought that Cai Jingyao didn't know about Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinbei's past and was afraid that the young lady would feel awkward if she found out, so he quickly changed the topic. "I've already chopped up the lunch. All that's left is stir-frying. Do you two want to show off your cooking skills?"
"Let me do it!" Lu Jinnan said.
"I don't want to move!" Lu Jinbei said.
"President Lu actually knows how to cook?" Cai Jingyao looked surprised. "I thought that a workaholic like President Lu wouldn't know how to cook!"
Lu Jinnan didn't reply.
Cai Jingyao then muttered to herself, "Then, I'll help President Lu when he's cooking at noon! Uncle, you can rest today. Xiaonian is pregnant, so don't move around!"
"No need …" Lu Jinnan didn't talk much. He wasn't willing to talk to Cai Jingyao.
Cai Jingyao pretended not to notice. "It's not good of me to not help at all. Just let me help!"
Bai Xiaonian narrowed her eyes slightly. Was Cai Jingyao acting coquettishly towards Lu Jinnan?
Bai Xiaonian looked at Lu Jinbei from the corner of her eyes.
Indeed, Lu Jinbei was a fool!
How could Cai Jingyao want to marry Lu Jinbei? She was clearly using Lu Jinbei as a stepping stone to hook up with Lu Jinnan.
Bai Xiaonian recalled hearing Cai Jingyao tell others that she got together with Lu Jinbei to prove that she was prettier than Bai Xiaonian. A disgusted feeling welled up in her heart. Bai Xiaonian frowned and patted her chest.
"What's the matter?" Lu Jinnan saw Bai Xiaonian's actions and quickly handed her a cup of warm water. "Are you disgusted again?"
Bai Xiaonian nodded.
"I told you not to come today because I was afraid you'd be disgusted. Look, you've been disgusted!" Lu Jinnan frowned.
Bai Xiaonian smiled and looked at the serious Lu Jinnan. Even this person could scold others without leaving a trace.
"It's fine. I haven't been to Dad's place for a long time, so I should come over to take a look!"
Bai Xiaonian drank a mouthful of water to suppress the disgust in her heart. Lu Jinnan went to the bathroom to get a hot towel for Bai Xiaonian.
Lu Jinnan's father brought over some plums. "Didn't you recover for a long time? Why are you feeling nauseous again? Is it because of the injury on your leg?"
"No, Dad. Don't worry! My taste has been a little strange recently. I'll feel nauseous if I eat something that's not suitable for me!"
Bai Xiaonian took the hot towel from Lu Jinnan and wiped her mouth, a plum in her mouth.
Lunch started to be prepared at 10: 40 pm. Lu Jinnan's father couldn't stay idle. He said that although his cooking wasn't as good as Bai Xiaonian's father's, it was still acceptable. Hence, he put on an apron and entered the kitchen.
Lu Jinnan went to help, and Cai Jingyao followed him in.
Bai Xiaonian was arranged by Lu Jinnan to rest in his original room, leaving Lu Jinbei, who was playing games alone in the living room.
In the kitchen, Lu Jinnan was cooking, while Cai Jingyao stood by the side and handed him the condiments. Lu Jinnan's father had no choice but to steam the fish in the pot and take off his apron.
"Look at Xiao Cai. Even she knows how to help your brother in the kitchen. You, on the other hand, are just sitting here playing games and waiting to eat ready-made food!" Lu Jinnan's father chided Lu Jinbei.
Lu Jinbei had a lollipop in his mouth and pretended not to hear him.
Lu Jinnan's father turned around and glanced at the kitchen. He sat next to Lu Jinbei and asked, "Ever since you brought Xiao Cai back yesterday, the two of you have been sticking together. I didn't have time to ask. Are you two university classmates? Does this young lady still not know that you and Xiaonian used to be in a relationship? Are you planning to tell her?"
Hearing this, Lu Jinbei took out the lollipop in his mouth and looked at his father. "Don't you know? She used to be in the same dorm as Bai Xiaonian. She's the one I cheated on when Bai Xiaonian and I were together! I told you about her in the past. She's still young, so why is she suffering from dementia?"
Lu Jinnan's father paused. "What?"
"That lady had her first time with me. Moreover, haven't you been urging me to get married? I'll just marry her then. At least I don't hate her!"
Lu Jinnan's father gave Lu Jinbei a hard slap on the arm. "What nonsense are you saying? I know that this lady used to be good friends with Xiaonian. She got together with you behind Xiaonian's back! You even told me that she was the one who provoked you first! Do you know that someone like her has a questionable character?"
