Chapter 1141 - We’re a Married Couple!

There was a gentle smile in Lu Jinnan’s eyes. He raised a hand and shifted away the hair strands glued to her dusty rose-colored lips.
Seeing Bai Xiaonian remain silent, Lu Jinnan said,
Even if you’re spiting me and ignoring me… don’t be hard on your own body.

Lu Jinnan’s voice was gentle. Squatting before Bai Xiaonian, he rubbed Bai Xiaonian’s clean and pretty hands, gaze lowered.
Because I’m not worth it!

Lu Jinnan took a very soft approach. He wanted to treat Bai Xiaonian well to the best of his ability, in every area.

Are you planning to keep me locked here from today on?
Bai Xiaonian asked.

I’ll ask Tang Zheng’s subordinate to come over and key in your fingerprint tomorrow. This is our home, so you’re free to come and go as you please forever!
Lu Jinnan said.
Bai Xiaonian’s face remained cold. She asked,
Aren’t you afraid that I won’t return after I leave?


It’s okay. I’ll follow you… Wherever you go, I’ll follow!
Lu Jinnan smiled and continued the previous topic about dinner.
What do you want to eat? Still sweet vinegar spare ribs and fragrant spicy prawns?


Lu Jinnan, continue talking to yourself!
Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to leave today, Bai Xiaonian set her bag aside and leaned against the sofa, speaking blandly.
Since Lu Jinnan had decided to bow to Bai Xiaonian, he wasn’t afraid that he would spoil her and cause her to become more arrogant. He arranged for someone to bring him his clothes at dinnertime, as well as several sets of ladies’ clothing, daily necessities, and a nanny.

This new residence hadn’t been occupied yet, and there was nothing there. Lu Jinnan took Bai Xiaonian in a moment of rashness and didn’t make any preparations… Inevitably, he had to make arrangements now.

I think we can just hire an auntie to clean up the place and cook. You’ve gotten into a car accident more than once, so in the future, let’s just get a chauffeur to drive you around, what do you think?
Lu Jinnan remained squatting before Bai Xiaonian as he discussed things with her.

So long as you’re happy!
Bai Xiaonian’s lips arched coldly.
Although Bai Xiaonian spoke sarcastically, Lu Jinnan nodded.
Okay, then let’s set it that way for now.


Hur…
Bai Xiaonian laughed softly and crossed her long legs, increasing the distance between her and Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan’s well-ironed suit trouser leg was grazed by the tip of Bai Xiaonian’s shoe, leaving a print. Still, he wasn’t angry. With his hands propped by Bai Xiaonian’s sides, he sat on the coffee table and faced Bai Xiaonian directly. Hearing the sound of the kettle done boiling, he asked,
I wanted to brew you some hot tea, but drinking tea at this hour might disrupt your sleep. Is plain water okay?

Bai Xiaonian had never felt Lu Jinnan had gentle eyes, but right now, his eyes were filled with gentleness.
Bai Xiaonian refused to answer. Hence, Lu Jinnan sat opposite Bai Xiaonian and didn’t move.

Lu Jinnan, what is this? Making it up to me for losing my child?
Bai Xiaonian no longer sounded choked like she did in the car when she talked about the child. At that moment, she sounded tough and devoid of feelings.
The word
child
pricked Lu Jinnan’s heart.
Throat vibrating, he bent over and grabbed Bai Xiaonian’s hands, wanting to warm up her chilly fingers. He lowered his head and said nothing.
If he could turn back time, Lu Jinnan would save their child at all costs!
It took Lu Jinnan a long time to suppress his emotions before he looked up at Bai Xiaonian.
Not making it up to you. But from today on… I only want to love you earnestly!

The two of them were silent until his assistant arranged someone to bring the daily necessities and dinner. He also arranged an Auntie Dong to cook and clean their place.
It was a sumptuous meal that was placed in thermos containers. The food was still hot when it arrived.
Lu Jinnan instructed Auntie Dong to plate the dinner. He then unbuttoned his shirt and asked Bai Xiaonian,
Change your clothes and wash your hands before we eat?

Lu Jinnan’s assistant was very meticulous. The casual home clothes for Bai Xiaonian were rinsed and dried before they were sent over.
Bai Xiaonian knew that she wouldn’t be able to leave tonight, and she didn’t wish to make things difficult for herself. So, she picked a set of clothes and took the toiletries and skincare products Lu Jinnan had instructed be brought there.
Return my phone to me after dinner!

Lu Jinnan nodded.
En!

Hence, Bai Xiaonian asked,
Where’s the guest room?


The innermost room after turning left upstairs…
Lu Jinnan was referring to their master bedroom.
Bai Xiaonian went upstairs to remove her makeup and wash up in the bathroom, taking a very long time. When she came out, Auntie Dong had started making the bed.

Madam, dinner has been reheated. Hurry downstairs to eat!
Auntie Dong said to Bai Xiaonian with a smile.

I’m not the madam. You can call me Ms. Bai or Bai Xiaonian…
Bai Xiaonian closed the bathroom door.
Auntie Dong paused in surprise, then instantly smiled and nodded.
Okay… Ms. Bai!

Bai Xiaonian squeezed some hand cream onto the backs of her hands, then lazily walked downstairs, applying the hand cream at the same time. It was an almond-scented hand cream, the brand Bai Xiaonian frequently used in the past.
However, after she learned she was pregnant, Bai Xiaonian stopped using scented hand creams. Subsequently, she grew used to not using them and stopped…
Just now, when she saw it in the bag of skincare products, Bai Xiaonian applied some, then realized this was a scent she used to like… but no longer liked so much now.
Bai Xiaonian felt that her feelings towards Lu Jinnan were perhaps like her feelings towards almond-scented hand cream… She no longer liked Lu Jinnan as much as in the past, but when she saw his reddened eyes, she still felt affected, still felt her heart hurt.
When she went downstairs, she asked herself how much she loved Lu Jinnan in the past… She had never given this question much thought. Now, clearly, they were about to part, but her heart still ached when she saw him with reddened eyes.
Were women’s hearts all like this?
Bai Xiaonian went downstairs, then quietly sat down and started eating.
Setting down her chopsticks, Bai Xiaonian said to Lu Jinnan, who had been adding food to her bowl,
Phone!

Lu Jinnan handed Bai Xiaonian her phone as promised.
She took her phone from him and got up, not even sparing him a glance. She then quietly went upstairs to rest.
Lu Jinnan stood outside the master bedroom door, wanting to enter, but he was afraid that Bai Xiaonian would feel repulsed. He softly said goodnight to Bai Xiaonian at the door, his large hand pressed against the door, reluctant to leave.
Inside was the only woman Lu Jinnan wanted to treasure and love wholeheartedly in this lifetime, but he had hurt her and their child!
Bai Xiaonian stood before the French windows, gazing at the two bodyguards at the entrance of the villa. Based on her understanding of Lu Jinnan, she probably wouldn’t be able to leave the villa tomorrow!
Keep her company?
Hur…
Knowing Lu Jinnan must be outside the room, Bai Xiaonian said,
Are you planning for you and me to live in this villa like this forever?

Hearing Bai Xiaonian’s voice, Lu Jinnan gripped the door handle. He wanted to open the door but was hesitant.
Xiaonian, we’re a married couple! A married couple… ought to live together anyway!
