Chapter 1218: He Was Willing to Make It Up to Bai Xiaonian for the Rest of Her Life for This Mistake

Lu Jinnan shook his head.

Even though he had tried very hard to restrain his emotions, his eyes had reddened.

After a long while, he calmed himself down and said in a choked voice, “Dad, Xiaonian and I had a child. But because I was acting out of spite with her… Xiaonian fell and lost the baby!”

This sudden news made Bai Xiaonian’s father pause in shock, unable to recover for a long while.

Lu Jinnan knew that Bai Xiaonian didn’t want to tell her father about this, but after Bai Xiaonian’s father suddenly said those words to him, Lu Jinnan couldn’t go on keeping the matter from him.

He calmly told Bai Xiaonian’s father what happened, including Hong Jinyun’s matter.

Bai Xiaonian’s father said nothing throughout.

“Dad, I’ll only love Xiaonian in this lifetime. I can’t remedy the mistake about the baby, but… I’m trying my best to tell Xiaonian that nothing of this sort will ever happen again. I won’t act out of spite with Xiaonian again, regardless of what happens!”

Lu Jinnan sounded choked as he was saying this.

Bai Xiaonian’s father lowered his gaze, terribly upset as he stared at his chopsticks.

Bai Xiaonian had never mentioned this to him…

He knew his own daughter. She had been putting up a brave exterior, but in actual fact, she was a girl with a very soft heart.

He had no idea how Bai Xiaonian endured this over this period of time. It was such a big matter… yet she had pretended nothing happened and not mentioned a word of it to him.

Seeing Bai Xiaonian’s father remain silent, Lu Jinnan felt panicked. “Dad… you can hit or scold me, I have no complaints! The toughest decision for me in this lifetime is giving up Xiaonian!”

Later, Lu Jinnan left Bai Xiaonian’s house after cleaning all the dishes. Still, Bai Xiaonian’s father hadn’t said a word to him.

He didn’t know if he was going against Bai Xiaonian’s wishes by telling her father all this, but he couldn’t go on hiding it. This was his mistake to begin with.

And, he was willing to make it up to Bai Xiaonian for the rest of her life.

When Lu Jinnan returned to the Kaide Corporation, he parked his car and happened to bump into Tang Zheng, who was about to leave.

After struggling for a long time, Tang Zheng ultimately decided to still make a trip to You Nainai’s place…

After all, Little Happy’s father couldn’t possibly help out all day, and You Nainai was a woman, so there were still some things that required a man.

“Back from your father-in-law’s place? How was changing the light bulb?” Tang Zheng asked Lu Jinnan as he pulled open the car door to the driver’s seat.

Lu Jinnan locked the car door. “Done changing it. You leaving?”

“I’m going to You Nainai’s place to see if she needs help with anything! I’ve given them instructions… If something crops up, give me a call… I’ll rush back right away!”

Lu Jinnan stared as Tang Zheng drove away before heading upstairs with a heavy heart.

Sometimes, he truly envied Tang Zheng. Although Tang Zheng and You Nainai appeared to be at loggerheads, their relationship was getting better by the day. Furthermore, their child… was still around!

Whereas, Lu Jinnan’s child was no longer around.

He wondered if his great helper in wooing Bai Xiaonian would be gone after telling her father the truth.

Alas, regardless of whether this helper would continue supporting him, Lu Jinnan wasn’t planning on giving up on Bai Xiaonian, no matter how hard it got…

When he got to the elevator, Lu Jinnan recalled that Bai Xiaonian was going to the embassy to interview the British ambassador and his wife at lunchtime.

He glanced at the time. If he rushed over now, Bai Xiaonian’s interview would be just about over by the time he arrived. Should he go?

While he was hesitating, the elevator arrived.

But when the elevator opened, Lu Jinnan turned and walked towards his car.

He drove his car out of the underground parking lot, then called Fu Huai’an. “Old Fu, I won’t be attending this afternoon’s meeting. I’ll trouble you to attend it!”

Fu Huai’an didn’t ask why and simply agreed. “Don’t worry. Go ahead and do your thing!”

After hanging up the call, Lu Jinnan tightly gripped the steering wheel…

Lu Jinnan had to personally tell Bai Xiaonian about him revealing the matter of the baby to her father.

…

After Bai Xiaonian was done interviewing the British ambassador, his wife invited Bai Xiaonian to stay for lunch.

Bai Xiaonian thanked the ambassador’s wife, then smiled and said that she was going to celebrate with her colleagues over a meal.

The group of them walked down the stairs of the embassy and carried their gear to the car. Bai Xiaonian’s assistant was heard saying, “I have seen Sister Xiaonian rebuking the US spokesperson and knew that Sister Xiaonian spoke American English eloquently. But I hadn’t expected Sister Xiaonian to sound so awesome in British-accented English too!”

Bai Xiaonian smiled as she helped the photographer carry the equipment to the car. “This is nothing. You should listen to Lin Nuan’s English. It’s fantastic. Back then, when we were part of the poet’s society in university, they said that Lin Nuan reciting poems in English brought about a kind of enjoyment like using sunshine to bathe one’s soul.”

“Really?” The assistant’s eyes lit up.

Bai Xiaonian’s assistant was a typical product that came out of an education system with an emphasis on exams—she could write in English particularly well, but her speaking skills in the language were barely passable, so she was super envious of people who spoke English eloquently.

After loading all the equipment into the car, the few of them got into the car and drove out of the embassy…

Bai Xiaonian, who sat in the last row, turned on her voice recorder and sorted out the questions she raised to the British ambassador couple today, preparing to write the article.

When the car got to the entrance of the embassy, Bai Xiaonian and the crew from the TV station handed over the visitation passes.

The assistant who was seated in the front row accidentally looked up and saw Lu Jinnan, who was standing opposite the embassy. She twisted around and knocked on Bai Xiaonian’s knee. “Sister Xiaonian, President Lu is at the embassy entrance. He should be waiting for you!”

Bai Xiaonian paused in surprise…

Through the windshield, Bai Xiaonian saw Lu Jinnan walking towards them.

The assistant was even more excited than Bai Xiaonian to see Lu Jinnan. After all… back then, when Lu Jinnan was arrested in the US, it blew up into a big affair in China. Bai Xiaonian stepping forth to rebuke the US spokesperson in her capacity as Lu Jinnan’s wife, demanding the US give a reply, brought immense satisfaction to the masses watching the video.

Nearly everyone at the TV station knew that Lu Jinnan was Bai Xiaonian’s husband!

Back then, that video was widely shared, so much so that it went viral.

But the people working with Bai Xiaonian all knew that ever since the two of them returned from the US, there seemed to be a conflict between them. Lu Jinnan seemed to be pursuing Bai Xiaonian all over again.

Bai Xiaonian no longer ignored Lu Jinnan completely like at the start. The more she ignored him… the stronger she felt Lu Jinnan came on to her. Therefore, a lot of times, when Lu Jinnan wanted to talk about proper matters, Bai Xiaonian would still listen to him.

After the handing over, as they drove out of the embassy, the driver—who was good at taking cues—stopped the car by the roadside. The car door opened, and Bai Xiaonian, who was dressed in white all over, in a suit and tight-fitting skirt, got out of the car.
