Chapter 1144: To Think That He Would Admit His Cowardice So Honestly!

The lights from the television screen flickered on Bai Xiaonian’s pale and clean face. She leaned against the sofa’s backrest, staring at the scene where Crayon Shinchan’s mother was chasing after him, wanting to beat him up. Her lips curled up into a warm smile.

When Lu Jinnan came up with the cheesecake and milk, Bai Xiaonian had already fallen asleep on the sofa, frowning.

Lu Jinnan placed the cake and milk onto the coffee table, bent over to carry her up horizontally, and then gently placed her on the big and soft bed.

Even though Bai Xiaonian had taken medicine, she still didn’t manage to get a good sleep. The slight movements caused her to furrow her brows even more. Lu Jinnan laid down next to Bai Xiaonian, gently patting her, coaxing her to sleep as if he was coaxing a child.

After some time passed, Bai Xiaonian’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed amidst her regular breathing.

Lu Jinnan looked at Bai Xiaonian’s beautiful features as she slept, his heart aching a lot for her…

Bai Xiaonian must have been through a lot by herself after having lost the child!

Lu Jinnan hated himself a lot, especially at the thought that their child had been lost when he was acting in a fit of anger toward her.

Lu Jinnan’s hand gently probed under Bai Xiaonian’s pajamas. It wasn’t out of desire. He just gently touched Bai Xiaonian’s ribs. They seemed to be very distinct, and it showed how skinny Bai Xiaonian was.

Lu Jinnan remembered that during the time they were together, she’d always pinch the flabby flesh at her stomach, frowning and asking why the flesh didn’t grow on her chest or just disappear.

Lu Jinnan would smile and nod in agreement, and then Bai Xiaonian would throw a pillow at him.

Now, the flesh… had really disappeared. However, Lu Jinnan’s heart was aching terribly.

Ever since returning from the United States, it wasn’t as if Lu Jinnan hadn’t blamed Bai Xiaonian and felt angry at her. However, when he was blaming her and feeling angry, what kind of torment was she going through?

What kind of torment had she been through for her, being such a simple-minded young lady who couldn’t hold back her tongue, to become so skinny…

Afraid that Bai Xiaonian would be averse to seeing him sleeping in the same bed as her when she woke up the next morning, Lu Jinnan, who hadn’t slept for the entire night, got up at 6:30 am. He tucked Bai Xiaonian under the blankets and went to the next room.

Bai Xiaonian woke up at 10:30 am. She had thought that she’d sleep poorly due to sleeping in a new bed, and that was despite taking medicine. However, when she woke up the next morning, to her surprise, her head felt the most comfortable it had in the last few months.

Bai Xiaonian unconsciously reached for her phone. It was only after she couldn’t switch it on that she realized that her phone had already run out of battery last night.

Last night’s milk and cheesecake were still left on the coffee table. Bai Xiaonian had forgotten when she had fallen asleep, but she recalled that she had been on the sofa.

She guessed that Lu Jinnan had carried her to the bed. She went to the bathroom to wash up, changed into the clothes she had worn there yesterday, and grabbed her bag, heading down the stairs.

“Ms. Bai!” Lu Jinnan’s assistant stood by the sofa, smiling and greeting Bai Xiaonian.

Lu Jinnan’s assistant was there to give Lu Jinnan some documents. These were things that Lu Jinnan would need to take care of before he went on his leave. There were also some work arrangements he had to attend to!

Bai Xiaonian nodded at Lu Jinnan’s assistant and smiled, asking, “Where’s my car?”

“Ms. Bai’s car has been sent to a 4S shop. It can be collected the day after tomorrow!” the assistant smiled and said.

“You’ve woken up! Breakfast has been reheated many times. Do you want some?” When Lu Jinnan saw Bai Xiaonian coming down the stairs, he signed the document he was holding and then turned to ask her.

“No, I want to go back and charge my phone…”

“We’ll go out and buy things today!” Lu Jinnan handed the document to his assistant, closed the lid to his pen, and got up. “We can buy everything that you need!”

Bai Xiaonian held onto the stairs’ handrail, smiling as she looked at Lu Jinnan. “Are you not even going to let me go home?”

Lu Jinnan didn’t lie. He nodded. “I’m afraid that you won’t come back with me after you go back. You might even chase me out. At Dad’s place, I definitely won’t be able to do anything…”

Bai Xiaonian leaned against the stair’s handrail, casually slinging her bag on her shoulders, and smiled. “To think that there’s also a time when Lu Jinnan will feel scared…”

“That’s right. I’m scared about anything related to you!” Lu Jinnan replied honestly.

Lu Jinnan’s assistant looked at him in astonishment. He hadn’t thought that their President Lu had this side to him. To think that he would admit his cowardice so honestly!

Bai Xiaonian’s smile became even brighter than before. She asked, “What if I insist on going back home?”

Lu Jinnan fell silent for a moment. “Then, I’ll go with you!”

Before Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan was willing to unconditionally give way without having any baseline…

“Then let’s go!” Bai Xiaonian came down from the last step on the stairs.

“But I have a condition. Even if you are unwilling to come back with me in the end, don’t chase me out of the house… I only want to be by your side. I’ll stay at the side quietly and definitely won’t affect you.” Lu Jinnan spoke in a pleading voice.

“What if I don’t agree?”

“Then, I’ll wait until you agree…” Lu Jinnan’s expression seemed very gentle.

Lu Jinnan wasn’t trying to threaten Bai Xiaonian. Instead, he was showing her his determination.

Bai Xiaonian nodded. “Alright…”

Bai Xiaonian didn’t think of herself as an honorable person. As long as she could achieve her goals, she could just go back on her words and keep Lu Jinnan outside.

After arriving at the Bai residence from the villa, unsurprisingly, Lu Jinnan was locked outside the door…

Lu Jinnan watched as Bai Xiaonian closed the door, his eyes filled with doting smiles!

At that time, Bai Xiaonian’s father should have gone out to play chess. When he came back later, Lu Jinnan would be able to enter. Therefore, he was in no hurry.

Bai Xiaonian’s father quite liked his son-in-law. From experience… Bai Xiaonian’s father could tell that Lu Jinnan was a man who valued ties. He felt that Lu Jinnan was very compatible with his daughter, who was very righteous!

As expected, when Bai Xiaonian’s father came home carrying eggs, milk, and fresh fruits from the supermarket… he saw Lu Jinnan standing downstairs next to the car. He was stunned for a moment before he broke into a smile. “Jinnan, you’ve come!”

“Dad!” Lu Jinnan smiled and took the bags from Bai Xiaonian’s father. “I just sent Xiaonian back, but she didn’t allow me to enter!”

“This Xiaonian!” Bai Xiaonian’s father spoke chidingly and then asked Lu Jinnan, “Is Xiaonian throwing a tantrum again?”

Lu Jinnan smiled and shook his head. “No, I was the one who made Xiaonian angry!”

Bai Xiaonian’s father went upstairs with Lu Jinnan and said, “Don’t cover for her. How can I not know about her temperament? But Jinnan… although Xiaonian has a bad temper, she has a kind heart. It’s just that she is a little impulsive sometimes. Don’t hold it against her. We’re men, and we need to give in to women. Don’t you agree?”

Bai Xiaonian’s father was still biased toward his own daughter, wanting to put in a good word for her in front of his son-in-law. He wanted Lu Jinnan not to take it to heart that Bai Xiaonian hadn’t allowed him into the house.

Bai Xiaonian’s father felt that his son-in-law was very mature and reliable. These two traits were things that Bai Xiaonian lacked.
