Chapter 1289: Do You Believe Her Nonsense?
She turned around in a daze and saw that it was Lu Jinnan. She asked, “Have you settled everything?”
Lu Jinnan nodded and planted a kiss on Bai Xiaonian’s forehead. “Mm, it’s settled…”
Bai Xiaonian was sound asleep. Seeing Lu Jinnan lying next to her, she squirmed into his arms and closed her eyes. Smelling the scent on Lu Jinnan, she frowned and said, “You’re using my shower gel again…”
Lu Jinnan was speechless.
Why am I being wronged!?
He was afraid that the lights would disturb Bai Xiaonian’s sleep, so he quietly went into the bathroom to get some shower gel and shampoo without turning the lights on, then went to the guest room to take a shower. As a man, Lu Jinnan didn’t know which shower gel belonged to whom. So long as he could use it to wash himself clean, who cared whose shower gel it was!
Seeing that his little bride had already plunged into his arms and fallen asleep, Lu Jinnan didn’t dare to move his arms. He just hugged her and let her sleep in his arms.
Early the next morning, when Bai Xiaonian woke up, she saw Lu Jinnan and asked, “When did you come back?”
Lu Jinnan was speechless.
“Last night, you even asked me how things were handled. Don’t you remember anything about it?” Lu Jinnan rubbed his numb arm.
Bai Xiaonian shook her head. “Then… how did you handle it?”
“Xiao Bei was bailed out, but Cai Jingyao hasn’t completely cleaned up the mess. It’ll take a month…” Lu Jinnan got up.
“A month?”
“Mm!” Lu Jinnan nodded. He unb.u.t.toned his pajamas and went to get his s.h.i.+rt. “Cai Jingyao said that if Dad and I still can’t accept her in a month, she’ll leave on her own…”
Bai Xiaonian’s eyes narrowed. “Do you believe her nonsense?”
“I have to give Xiao Bei some face. If she doesn’t leave in a month… I’ll help her leave!” Lu Jinnan spoke without a hint of emotion. He talked about Cai Jingyao as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Although she knew that Lu Jinnan wouldn’t fall for trash like Cai Jingyao, Bai Xiaonian still felt uncomfortable…
“She said that she’ll need Dad and you to accept her in a month. I have a feeling that she’ll come up with this excuse to get close to you?” Bai Xiaonian thought about it, then saw that Lu Jinnan had already put on his s.h.i.+rt. “I feel that it’s very possible. You need to have a plan.”
“What do you mean? This month, she won’t be able to see my dad and me! I’ll just let her and Xiao Bei have a good time! Xiao Bei has been well protected since he was young, and he lacks wisdom. I feel that this might not be a bad thing for him! That’s why I agreed to that woman’s request.” Still b.u.t.toning his s.h.i.+rt, Lu Jinnan turned around and said, “I have to make a trip to the company today. I’ve got a lot of things to settle, and there’s still a meeting!”
When Bai Xiaonian heard this, she looked at Lu Jinnan pitifully. “Then today… aren’t I the only one at home? Look… I originally wanted to work, but you didn’t let me… Xiao Nuan was still working when she was pregnant. If you leave now, I’ll be bored!”
Lu Jinnan gazed at the displeased little woman on the bed dotingly. He walked to the side of the bed and sat down. “You’re pregnant now, so it’s only right for you to be more careful. I can’t take any risk when it comes to you and the child.”
Bai Xiaonian pursed her lips and nodded, but the unhappiness in her eyes didn’t dissipate.
Lu Jinnan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, “If you don’t wish to stay at home, why don’t you come with me to the Kaide Corporation? You haven’t visited my office, do you want to see it?”
Lu Jinnan’s words piqued Bai Xiaonian’s interest. “Okay!” She nodded and smiled.
“Then get up and get ready. There’s no need to hurry. I’ll wait for you!” Lu Jinnan gently stroked the top of Bai Xiaonian’s head.
Looking at Bai Xiaonian’s back view as she got up and happily readied herself to go out, the corners of his lips turned up as he b.u.t.toned his sleeves.
Bai Xiaonian was very interested in the Kaide Corporation. After all, it was her husband’s office. It was just that Bai Xiaonian had never thought of visiting.
On the way to the Kaide Corporation, Bai Xiaonian couldn’t conceal her excitement. She turned and asked Lu Jinnan, “Can I accompany you to a meeting later? In the past, I’ve been watching how company meetings are conducted on TV. But I’ve never seen dozens of people sitting in a meeting room with my own eyes. I want to take a look and see my handsome husband sitting in the president’s seat. Is that okay?”
Originally, Lu Jinnan had wanted Bai Xiaonian to wait for him in his office. But since it was Bai Xiaonian’s wish to see him lead a meeting… Lu Jinnan wouldn’t reject her.
“Okay… I’ll bring you along later. Sit behind me and don’t make a sound. So long as it doesn’t affect the meeting, it’ll be fine!” Lu Jinnan said.
Bai Xiaonian clapped her hands like a young lady, gently stroking the baby in her tummy as she said, “Baby, the two of us will go and see how handsome your father is during the meeting later!”
Lu Jinnan was pleased. He reached out to stroke Bai Xiaonian’s abdomen, a blissful smile on his lips.
When they arrived at Lu Jinnan’s office, Bai Xiaonian looked left and right, feeling that the real president’s office was more magnificent than what she’d seen on TV.
Bai Xiaonian stood by the French windows. “Wow… I know that the Kaide Corporation is a landmark building in Haicheng, but I didn’t expect to be able to look down upon the entire Haicheng from your office!”
Lu Jinnan walked over to Bai Xiaonian with a gla.s.s of milk in his hand and handed it to her. “Mm, Old Fu’s office is upstairs. The view from there is even better. If you’re interested, I’ll take you upstairs to take a look!”
“Okay!” Bai Xiaonian took the milk and took a sip. “Will Fu Huai’an be around for the meeting later?”
“That’s not necessarily the case. Old Fu’s partic.i.p.ation in the meeting depends entirely on his mood. After all, he’s chairman!” Lu Jinnan walked back to the office desk and pulled out a chair to sit down. “I don’t usually attend meetings that aren’t particularly important. This time around, I have to listen to this quarter’s report, so I have to be there!”
Bai Xiaonian nodded.
All this time, Lu Jinnan had been putting off his work to keep her company at home. Bai Xiaonian knew that Fu Huai’an had taken on a lot of work himself, and she was very grateful to him.
“There are fresh fruits on the coffee table. Have some first. I’ll take you to the meeting later! I’ll have to check these piled up doc.u.ments first. If you’re tired, you can take a rest in the room behind that invisible door. There’s a bed!” Lu Jinnan said to Bai Xiaonian.
“Alright, you don’t have to worry about me. Just focus on your work… the two of us can take care of ourselves!” Bai Xiaonian smiled and said.
Bai Xiaonian couldn’t sit on the sofa quietly. She looked around, then went to the private resting room to take a look.
The resting room in Lu Jinnan’s office was no different from the bedroom at home. The closet was filled with Lu Jinnan’s change of clothes. It seemed like Lu Jinnan had treated the Kaide Corporation as his home in the past!
After coming out of the resting room and seeing Lu Jinnan signing the doc.u.ments seriously, Bai Xiaonian quietly walked to the coffee table and sat down.
