1159 Why Are You Saying Things Like This? (1/2)

”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!

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!
