Chapter 1048 - Nuan Nuan Is Currently Pregnant and Is at a Time Where She Needs Your Concern
Before Fu Huai’an could say anything, Lu Jinnan said anxiously, “Old Fu, you should still have things that you need to attend to. I won’t be able to attend to the things in the corporation for a bit, and Lin Nuan is pregnant as well. There’s a pile of work accumulating at the corporation, and all of it needs to be attended to urgently. Don’t be wasting your time here!”
Lu Jinnan could be considered to be blatantly telling his brother Fu Huai’an to leave quickly.
Fu Huai’an, who was resting one hand on the car door and looking at Lu Jinnan with a smile, asked Bai Xiaonian, “Will you be fine taking care of him by yourself? Should I get Little Lu to follow you in case any needs arise?”
“My minor injuries don’t matter. Little Lu will be more useful by your side!” Lu Jinnan pushed Bai Xiaonian to head in the direction of her car.
Fu Huai’an didn’t stop them. If he had known that Bai Xiaonian would come to fetch Lu Jinnan, he wouldn’t have come today.
The United States had intended to release Lu Jinnan in front of the media in a few days’ time to put up a front. However, it would be hard to explain the injuries he had…
Fu Huai’an was worried about Lu Jinnan’s injuries, so he held back his anger, secretly getting them to release Lu Jinnan and not informing the media. He would get the Kaide Corporation to release an official Weibo announcement later to verify that Lu Jinnan had been released. Of course, Fu Huai’an would also liaise with China’s government to have them release the son of the United States Embassy’s ambassador.
In Fu Huai’an’s view, there was nothing more important than Lu Jinnan’s safety.
Therefore, in the end, the United States decided to let Lu Jinnan go quietly.
Fu Huai’an understood his brother’s intentions and looked at Bai Xiaonian with a deep gaze. “It’s true that there’s a pile of things to attend to at the Kaide Corporation. If it’s of no trouble…”
Bai Xiaonian had always been a little scared of Fu Huai’an’s disposition. In her opinion, a decisive person in the business world like Fu Huai’an must definitely be someone who was very cold, other than when he was facing his wife.
However, today, she felt that Fu Huai’an was probably a very gentle person. Otherwise, why would Lu Jinnan, Tang Zheng, and the others stay by him all this while?
Bai Xiaonian nodded and told Fu Huai’an, “No matter how busy you are, you mustn’t neglect Nuan Nuan. Nuan Nuan is currently pregnant and is at a time where she needs your concern.”
Fu Huai’an nodded. “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you to help take care of Old Lu!”
Bai Xiaonian’s ears turned a little red, and she nodded.
Was she going to have to take Lu Jinnan back to her place?
Was she really going to have to do that? Bai Xiaonian was a little hesitant. She was afraid that Lu Jinnan would mess with her like he did previously the moment he entered.
Fu Huai’an saw that Bai Xiaonian’s gaze was flickering, and her ears were flushed red. He let out a soft laugh, then bent over to enter the car. Little Lu closed the door after him and said to Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan, “President Lu and Ms. Bai don’t have to worry about the reporters and the media. The corporation will take care of those. President Lu’s condition isn’t well, and it isn’t suitable for him to meet the media right now. We’ll have to trouble Ms. Bai!”
Bai Xiaonian nodded, a little out of sorts. Her fingers that were interlocked with Lu Jinnan’s were covered in a layer of sweat.
“Then, we’ll be leaving first…” Little Lu nodded and spoke politely to Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan, then walked past the front of the car to get to the driver’s seat.
Very soon, the car with Fu Huai’an in it drove off. Lu Jinnan tightened his grip on Bai Xiaonian’s hand, saying, “It’s been tough on you during this time…”
Bai Xiaonian glared at Lu Jinnan. After her new attempt to break free failed again, she said, “How am I going to drive with you holding onto my hand like this?”
Lu Jinnan nodded. “I’ll let go after we get in the car.”
Unable to dissuade Lu Jinnan, Bai Xiaonian could only open the car door for him. Worried about his injuries, she helped him get into the front passenger seat. Only after that did she close the car door and enter the driver’s seat.
After putting on her seatbelt, Bai Xiaonian turned and looked at Lu Jinnan, saying, “Seatbelt…”
Lu Jinnan put on a serious front, wanting to pull at the seatbelt, but he gasped in pain.
“Sigh… Forget it. Don’t move!” Bai Xiaonian unbuckled her seatbelt, then leaned over the center console and pulled at Lu Jinnan’s seatbelt, helping him buckle up.
One of Bai Xiaonian’s arms was holding onto the front passenger seat’s backrest as she pressed the upper half of her body toward Lu Jinnan. Her fragrance darted into his nose, stimulating his lungs and causing his throat to roll. Just as Bai Xiaonian pulled over the seatbelt and lowered her head to buckle it, she felt pressure on the back of her head… and her lips were sealed by his.
Lu Jinnan locked onto the back of Bai Xiaonian’s head and couldn’t help but deepen the kiss despite only planning to go for a light kiss.
Bai Xiaonian’s face turned hot, and she pushed him away anxiously. As her head knocked into the roof of the car, she also heard Lu Jinnan moan out in pain.
She covered her head with one hand, but she couldn’t be bothered with her own pain as she asked, “Are you alright?”
Bai Xiaonian’s push out of agitation seemed to have really pressed down on Lu Jinnan’s injury. His thin lips pursed into a thin line, and he shook his head, not saying a word.
“Is it very serious? Let’s go to the hospital to get it checked out! What are you going to do if it’s a fracture?” Bai Xiaonian stared at Lu Jinnan’s chest, fearing that his ribs might have been broken or cracked from all the beatings he received and that he would just hold it in without saying anything.
In the past, Bai Xiaonian’s father had also cracked his ribs when he was hit by a bicycle’s handle. However, he kept holding the pain in and didn’t say anything. He only found out that his bones had cracked when he went to the hospital on the third day to get an X-ray. Bai Xiaonian felt that they should be more careful, and without pursuing the fact that Lu Jinnan had kissed her, she sat back up in the driver’s seat and started the car. “We’ll head to the hospital first…”
“Xiaonian!” Lu Jinnan had one hand on his chest, while the other was holding onto Bai Xiaonian’s hand that was clutching onto the gear shift. “I’m really alright. Trust me!”
“Trust that you’re putting up a front?” Bai Xiaonian’s voice went a pitch higher uncontrollably.
In the end, Lu Jinnan wasn’t able to dissuade Bai Xiaonian and was taken to a private hospital. The privacy in a private hospital was relatively higher.
After Lu Jinnan was given a complete checkup, Bai Xiaonian took him back to her apartment. Before opening the door, she said to Lu Jinnan in warning, “If you dare mess around after going in this time around, I’ll beat you out of the house! Do you hear me?”
Lu Jinnan nodded docilely. “I definitely don’t have the means to retaliate now…”
After entering, Bai Xiaonian had Lu Jinnan sit in the living room to rest, while she went around the house like a busy bee. She boiled some hot water and then headed to the bedroom to change the bedsheets.
Bai Xiaonian’s apartment wasn’t big, and there was only one bedroom. With Lu Jinnan being injured, there was no way that she was going to let him sleep on the couch…
While Bai Xiaonian was busy with her chores, Lu Jinnan stood in the living room, not knowing what he should do.
He saw that the sofa, coffee table, and carpet in Bai Xiaonian’s living room were covered with documents. He sat down painfully on the sofa and took a look… Almost all of them contained information about diplomatic immunity.
Lu Jinnan really didn’t believe what Bai Xiaonian said about no longer loving him after coming to the United States!
Bai Xiaonian could only say those words to deceive herself.
