Chapter 1272 - Making Hong Jinyun Feel Incredibly Awkward (1/2)
In Lu Jinnan’s heart, Cai Jingyao was indeed not a good person. It wasn’t that he only started feeling this way since he got together with Bai Xiaonian. But early on, when he heard Lu Jinbei cry as he recounted the reason he broke up with Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan had sensed that this so-called best friend of Bai Xiaonian was a green tea b*tch.
Perhaps before getting together with Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan had felt that all women were bad and that he had excellent judgment in determining if someone was a b*tch. He had even hurt Lin Nuan by accident back then because of this.
“It’s not that I’m being nosy, but Lu Jinbei is your brother. I fear you’ll reproach yourself if something happens to him in the future!” Bai Xiaonian looked at Lu Jinnan. “Dad has told me that, in order to be together with me, you nearly fell out with Lu Jinbei, the younger brother you doted on for years. If something happens to him in the future, based on your personality, you’ll probably pin the blame on yourself! Hence, I’m telling you in advance so that you can tell Lu Jinbei in advance. I don’t want to see you blaming yourself if something happens later on. As his brother and sister-in-law, we just need to do our part!”
By Dad, Bai Xiaonian was referring to Lu Jinnan’s father!
Back then, when Lu Jinnan got together with Bai Xiaonian, the person who reacted most strongly was Lu Jinbei…
He had always known Lu Jinbei was deeply in love with Bai Xiaonian, and despite that, he had stolen away his younger brother’s love. Because of that, Lu Jinnan had felt guilty towards Lu Jinbei regarding this matter.
Lu Jinbei was a scumbag to begin with, so Bai Xiaonian wasn’t concerned about him. But what she worried about was that if something happened whilst Lu Jinbei was with Cai Jingyao, Lu Jinnan would feel upset.
Lu Jinnan reached out and held Bai Xiaonian’s petite hand. “I know, don’t worry!”
Bai Xiaonian frowned as she asked, “Why do you think Cai Jingyao used Lu Jinbei’s phone to comment on the photo I uploaded of you?”
“You uploaded a photo of me?” Lu Jinnan couldn’t resist laughing as he asked, whatever unhappiness he had felt a moment ago vanishing instantly.
“Yeah!” Bai Xiaonian was easily influenced by Lu Jinnan’s emotions. She smiled. “I uploaded a photo of you stitching the toy for our child. Several people commented that I found a great deal, saying that my husband is both great at earning money and is even good at household chores!”
“Mm, then you must cherish it!” Lu Jinnan looked at Bai Xiaonian sideways, his smile broader now.
“Yes yes yes!” Whatever unhappiness Cai Jingyao caused had dissipated in Bai Xiaonian’s heart.
So long as Cai Jingyao didn’t take the initiative to mess with Bai Xiaonian, Bai Xiaonian couldn’t be bothered with her…
Later, Bai Xiaonian simply blocked Lu Jinbei. Out of sight, out of mind.
When Lu Jinnan was done parking and was helping Bai Xiaonian out of the car, Hong Jinyun and her mother had just stepped on the stairs of the hospital building.
Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan got out of the car, Lu Jinnan supporting the limping Bai Xiaonian with one arm, the other arm holding the dinner they brought for Bai Xiaonian’s father. He turned sideways and edged closer to Bai Xiaonian’s phone screen, wanting to see what Bai Xiaonian had posted on Weibo.
Seeing the text and accompanying photo that Bai Xiaonian uploaded, Lu Jinnan couldn’t hold back the smile on his lips.
“Jinnan…”
A delicate and frail woman’s voice came ringing over. Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian looked up towards the stairs.
The thin and frail Hong Jinyun was being supported by her mother, her face pale and devoid of the color of blood. Her vision landed on Lu Jinnan, then she looked towards Bai Xiaonian and nodded at her politely.
Bai Xiaonian narrowed her eyes, still wearing the trace of a smile on her lips as her pretty eyes looked towards Hong Jinyun and her mother.
