Chapter 1159: Why Are You Saying Things Like This?

“My dad is a patient! I must not anger him! I must not anger him! I must not anger him!”

After repeating her words thrice, Bai Xiaonian let out a long exhale. She opened her eyes and adjusted her expression… then closed the pen she was holding and got to her feet, leaving the room…

Who knew, the instant she came out, she saw Lu Jinnan wiping the table.

In the kitchen, Lu Jinnan’s father’s cheery voice could be heard. “Why did you shout at Xiaonian! Lu Jinnan merely got injured, it’s not like he became a cripple. Why can’t he wipe the table? Xiaonian is so busy with her work! Don’t add to Xiaonian’s troubles because of Lu Jinnan’s matter!”

Bai Xiaonian walked over quietly. She took the rag from Lu Jinnan’s hand, feeling that her softening her heart and bringing Lu Jinnan back was a mistake. She wiped the table ferociously and said to Lu Jinnan, “After you recover… scram out of my house!”

Lu Jinnan didn’t reply. He merely smiled at Bai Xiaonian, an indulging and doting look in his eyes.

Lu Jinnan’s father came out with the dishes. Seeing Bai Xiaonian wiping the table and Lu Jinnan standing by the side, he lectured Lu Jinnan with a frown, “You’re an idle person on vacation now. You got stitches on your leg, but did you get stitches on your hand too? Why did you let Xiaonian wipe the table? Xiaonian has had a hard day at work! Why can’t you dote on her!”

When Bai Xiaonian heard this, she felt slightly more balanced psychologically. It then struck her… were she and Lu Jinnan switched up like Lin Nuan and Lin Ran when they were babies?

Why else would her biological father be so biased towards Lu Jinnan and Lu Jinnan’s father towards her!

Lu Jinnan nodded repeatedly. His father was a solid teammate indeed!

“It’s okay, Uncle Lu. Lu Jinnan got injured because of me. I also hope that he recovers quickly. I can take care of all this!” Bai Xiaonian said with a smile.

“Look at how sensible our Xiaonian is! She’s a strong career woman outside, but at home, she’s excellent at doing chores and not at all pretentious! She’s not afraid of hardship and exhaustion!” Lu Jinnan’s father said, not forgetting to glare at Lu Jinnan. “If you and your brother were half as sensible as our Xiaonian, I’d be able to die in peace!”

Towards Lu Jinnan’s father’s shower of compliments, Bai Xiaonian felt a little guilty. She blushed a little and said, “I’m not that great, Uncle Lu!”

Lu Jinnan’s father didn’t seem to mind that Bai Xiaonian hadn’t changed how she was addressing him.

Bai Xiaonian’s father had no idea, but Lu Jinnan did tell his father that… Bai Xiaonian suffered a miscarriage and lost their child because he was acting spiteful towards her!

Lu Jinnan didn’t say when, but Lu Jinnan’s father guessed… that it was perhaps because of this that a disheartened Bai Xiaonian refused to be with Lu Jinnan any longer and asked for a divorce!

Lu Jinnan’s father, who was very fond of Bai Xiaonian to begin with, did all he could to treat Bai Xiaonian well! He wanted to give all his doting and love to Bai Xiaonian.

These few days that Lu Jinnan’s father was staying at the Bais’, he had personally cleaned Bai Xiaonian’s shoes!

In brief, Lu Jinnan’s father was planning to make it up to Bai Xiaonian as her father-in-law, looking to redeem his son, who broke her heart.

“Of course you’re great!” Lu Jinnan’s father placed the dishes on the table. “Look at how humble our Xiaonian is, unlike today’s boastful youngsters. Our Xiaonian is so modest. Uncle Lu has faith in you. Our Xiaonian is capable of great things… You’ll definitely become one of the most successful people, Uncle knows!”

Bai Xiaonian laughed, the haze in her heart gradually dissipating…

After all, who wouldn’t like being complimented!

Especially for someone like Bai Xiaonian, who really liked hearing compliments!

When Bai Xiaonian was young, she was clearly terrified of injections, but in order to hear the doctor praise her for being brave, she gritted her teeth and endured the needles with a smile!

At that time, Bai Xiaonian’s mother was still around. Every time Bai Xiaonian was done with her jabs, she would say with a smile, “Our Xiaonian has a scary level of endurance when she’s motivated by praise!”

“Wash your hands and eat, Xiaonian! You need to work after you’re done eating… aye! It’s really tough on you!” Lu Jinnan’s father then returned to the kitchen to bring out the other dishes.

Bai Xiaonian wiped the table and washed her hands. By the time she came out, she was in a much better mood.

During the meal, Bai Xiaonian’s father kept putting food in Lu Jinnan’s bowl, not at all stingy with his compliments of Lu Jinnan in front of his daughter, wanting her to change her mind about Lu Jinnan. More importantly, if it weren’t for Lu Jinnan today, his daughter might have been killed at the amusement park.

On the other hand, Lu Jinnan’s father was heaping all kinds of praise on Bai Xiaonian, while deriding Lu Jinnan at the same time. In doing this, he managed to salvage the situation and succeeded in extinguishing the fury in Bai Xiaonian’s heart.

However, when it came to night time, Lu Jinnan’s father left, and Bai Xiaonian’s father made the bed for Bai Xiaonian while assuming Lu Jinnan would sleep there as well. At that point, Bai Xiaonian lost it!

“Dad, you… what’s the meaning of you laying out two blankets on the bed?” Bai Xiaonian asked, staring at the bed.

“You’re a married couple, so, naturally, you should sleep in the same bed! Moreover, Jinnan is injured now. What will he do if he wants to go to the toilet at night, but there’s no one by his side to help him?”

Hur hur…

He absolutely wasn’t her biological father. He must have carried the wrong baby home!

“Is his leg broken or amputated? Why can’t he go by himself? He merely got a few stitches, yet he needs to be taken care of like a porcelain doll? Hur hur… married couple? I’d rather live as a widow than have such a husband!”

Bai Xiaonian’s father glanced outside the door, then lectured Bai Xiaonian in a hushed voice, “How can you talk like this? So vicious!”

Bai Xiaonian didn’t utter a word, merely staring at her father with a smile.

“Stop fooling around!” Bai Xiaonian’s father warned Bai Xiaonian sternly. “Why are you becoming more and more insensible? If it weren’t for Lu Jinnan today, you and Xiao Nuan would have been in danger! We need to be grateful! Listen to me… be good!”

“So, did you carry the wrong baby home twenty plus years ago?”

Bai Xiaonian’s father glared at her. “What nonsense are you talking about? There’s such a big difference in your and Jinnan’s ages, so how is that possible? If you have the time to weave these stories in your head, why not help me think of what tonic I can make for Jinnan tomorrow to strengthen his blood? That’d be my good daughter!”

“You didn’t carry the wrong baby home? Then why do I feel like you’re Lu Jinnan’s biological father and my stepfather?”

Bai Xiaonian’s father straightened his body and glanced outside. Seeing Lu Jinnan talking on the phone on the balcony, he pulled Bai Xiaonian’s hand and said, “Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan is a really great guy! Look… Dad has contracted such an illness, and I might be gone at any moment. I need to entrust you to someone trustworthy. Only then can I die in peace. If you continue with this fuss, Lu Jinnan might lose his patience and stop pestering you so eagerly. Which reliable person can I entrust you to if that happens?”

Bai Xiaonian hadn’t expected her father to say something like that. With a slightly grave expression, she said, “Why are you saying things like this? You’re in such good health! So long as you continue taking the medicine…”
