Chapter 1280 - Sowing Discord? (1/2)
Lu Jinbei seemed not to care, and his gaze lowered as he continued staring at his phone and sucking on his lollipop. He said, “How does her character matter? In any case, after we marry… we can both continue playing around!”
“Atrocious!” Lu Jinnan’s father couldn’t suppress his rage, clenching his teeth tightly. “Then you might as well not get married! You should just spite me to death! You can get married to anyone, but this girl… no way! Absolutely no way! A lousy character… is taboo!”
Lu Jinbei shifted his gaze away from his phone and looked up. “Weren’t you pretty happy when you tried on the clothes she bought you just now?”
“If she’s my future daughter-in-law, I’m happy. To me, she’ll be my future caring darling. But if there’s a problem with this person’s character, I’d rather die than accept such a daughter-in-law!” Lu Jinnan’s father said fiercely.
In the kitchen, Cai Jingyao stood very close to Lu Jinnan, the perfume on her body floating towards him indistinctly. This was Bai Xiaonian’s favorite scent!
But after she got pregnant, she had stopped using perfume, afraid it would have adverse effects on the child.
Clearly, Lu Jinnan liked this scent very much previously. But today, that same scent choked up his senses…
“Miss Cai, you’d better get out! The kitchen is small, and it’s a hindrance to have an extra person around!” Lu Jinnan sounded cold.
He had spoken harshly, so if the girl had so much as a tiny bit of pride, she would have gotten out of the kitchen. But Cai Jingyao remained standing by his side, a smile on her lips, looking as if she couldn’t understand what Lu Jinnan was saying. She said to him, “Brother Jinnan, you seem to have an opinion of me…”
“We’re not family yet. Miss Cai, you may simply address me as Mr. Lu or Lu Jinnan.”
Lu Jinnan was quick to keep a distance from Cai Jingyao.
Cai Jingyao smiled as she stood next to Lu Jinnan with a plate in her hands, waiting for Lu Jinnan to be done cooking. She said, “Bai Xiaonian probably spoke badly of me in front of you, right, Brother Jinnan? Such as… how many boyfriends I snatched from other people back then. Such as how she treated me as her best friend, but I slept with her boyfriend. Right?”
Lu Jinnan narrowed his eyes and glanced sideways at Cai Jingyao, waiting to hear what she had to say.
Cai Jingyao handed the plate to Lu Jinnan, unflustered. She said with a smile, “Brother Jinnan, you’re Bai Xiaonian’s husband, and you love her so much. It’s naturally right for you to believe her. But I have my own grievance too. I don’t wish for others to misunderstand me…”
Seeing that Lu Jinnan wasn’t taking the plate from her, Cai Jingyao set the porcelain plate next to the stove and said with a smile, “I used to regard Xiaonian as my best friend, the bestest kind! Xiaonian and I had known each other for a longer time than Xiaonian knew Lin Nuan. Same for Song Yao. But Song Yao wasn’t as important as Xiaonian to me. In my heart, Song Yao could only be ranked number two…”
Lu Jinnan picked up another plate and plated the food, then tossed the plate Cai Jingyao touched into the basin. He drew two kitchen towels and wiped his hands.
Cai Jingyao didn’t seem to mind at all. Standing beside the basin, she washed the plate Lu Jinnan tossed in and slowly wiped it dry with a kitchen towel.
