Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Lu Jinnan’s assistant didn’t interact much with Hong Jinyun, so he wouldn’t comment on her, but that mother of hers was a real piece of work. The assistant certainly wouldn’t really let them see Lu Jinnan.

With Lu Jinnan being busy taking care of Bai Xiaonian now, the assistant wasn’t planning on telling Lu Jinnan about Hong Jinyun, not wanting him to feel vexed. He would simply settle the matter himself.

…

At three in the morning, Bai Xiaonian suddenly jolted awake.

“You’re up!” Lu Jinnan stood up and helped to support Bai Xiaonian.

“Where’s Dad?” Bai Xiaonian asked as she sat up with much difficulty.

With his arms supporting Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan reached out to pull apart the curtain between the two beds a little to let Bai Xiaonian see her father, who was lying on the bed in the ward. Then he said, “Don’t worry, since Bai Jinyu said Dad is fine, Dad will surely be fine! It’s still early now… sleep a little more?”

Bai Xiaonian looked deeply at her father’s side profile, then retracted her gaze and looked towards Lu Jinnan. “I won’t let this matter rest just like this. If I say this, will you stop me?”

Bai Xiaonian asked calmly…

Lu Jinnan grabbed Bai Xiaonian’s hand and gazed at her seriously. “I won’t let this matter rest just like this either. Do you believe me?”

There was a resolute look in the depths of his eyes, making it easy to trust him.

“You’re pregnant now, so you shouldn’t overthink these matters. You should focus on your pregnancy… Waiting for Dad to wake up is the most crucial thing. Leave the rest to me, ok?”

The one facing her was her husband…

Bai Xiaonian was willing to trust Lu Jinnan, so she nodded.

Seeing that Bai Xiaonian wasn’t being perfunctory and really did believe him, Lu Jinnan said, “I’ve already stopped all sponsorship towards Hong Jinyun and her mother. From today onwards, I’ll no longer care about what happens to them. Whether they live or die… it has nothing to do with me! If Dad wakes up safely this time, everyone will be safe and sound. If this time Dad…”

Lu Jinnan halted in his words, then looked up at Bai Xiaonian as if he were swearing to her. “I won’t let Hong Jinyun’s mother have it easy! She shouldn’t dream of having an easy life for the rest of her days!”

Bai Xiaonian nodded, then squeezed Lu Jinnan’s hand hard. “Ok, I trust you!”

Bai Xiaonian wasn’t someone who harped on something. She was clear in her heart that once Hong Jinyun stopped receiving money from Lu Jinnan, this mother-and-daughter duo who were used to loafing around and spending extravagantly would be leading pathetic lives.

She didn’t wish to ask Lu Jinnan if, by handling this matter this way, it showed that he still had lingering feelings for Hong Jinyun…

After all, even if they weren’t lovers back then, they were childhood friends. Bai Xiaonian felt that if she were in his shoes, it would be difficult for her to completely ignore her ex too.

Bai Xiaonian didn’t have a deep understanding of Hong Jinyun, so she shouldn’t comment!

But Hong Jinyun’s mother really made her gnash her teeth in anger!

Now, by stopping all financial aid towards Hong Jinyun and her mother, it was as good as cutting off his ties with Hong Jinyun.

Moreover… she knew that the man she loved deeply was a highly loyal person. Therefore, to be able to take things to this extent with Hong Jinyun, Bai Xiaonian already felt very heartened.

Lu Jinnan smiled at Bai Xiaonian, then caressed her tummy and said, “You should sleep. I’ll be staying vigil here. If Dad wakes up, I’ll wake you up!”

Bai Xiaonian thought about it, then shifted inwards a little. She lifted the blankets and patted on the spot next to her. “Let’s sleep together!”

“I’m afraid I’ll squeeze you and the child…”

“I’m not so delicate. Furthermore… Dad hasn’t come to, and I’m pregnant, so you need to take care of us. If you don’t rest well and collapse due to fatigue, what’s going to happen to us?” Bai Xiaonian patted the spot next to her again. “Come on up. Hold me… and the child to sleep!”

Lu Jinnan, who now had stubble on his chin, smiled. He laid down next to Bai Xiaonian and held her, then coaxed her as if she was a kid. “Sleep now…”

“Remember to call me when Dad wakes up!” Bai Xiaonian reminded Lu Jinnan as she closed her eyes.

Lu Jinnan nodded his head in response, then gently kissed the top of Bai Xiaonian’s head.

He had thought that Bai Xiaonian would blow up, that she wouldn’t trust him!

He had even felt that Bai Xiaonian wouldn’t think that cutting off Hong Jinyun and her mother was a form of punishment!

That was because Lu Jinnan was clear that Bai Xiaonian felt that he shouldn’t have given them money in the first place.

However, in the past, out of guilt… Lu Jinnan wasn’t able to ignore Hong Jinyun.

But now, Hong Jinyun’s mother had stepped over the line!

Although it was true that Lu Jinnan felt guilty towards Hong Jinyun, he couldn’t tolerate Hong Jinyun’s mother hurting Xiaonian’s father.

No one could imagine the panic Lu Jinnan felt when he heard that Bai Xiaonian’s legs were covered with blood. Even when he eventually found out that the child was alright, he still nearly couldn’t resist the urge to kill Hong Jinyun’s mother.

He should end this thing for good!

So long as Bai Xiaonian’s father was fine, then not taking revenge… would be using up the last of the pity and guilt Lu Jinnan felt towards Hong Jinyun.

Lu Jinnan embraced Bai Xiaonian tightly. For the rest of his life, he would only be responsible for Bai Xiaonian.

…

After Bai Xiaonian’s father came to, Bai Jinyu came to check on him. He said that Bai Xiaonian’s father was in pretty good condition, and only then did Bai Xiaonian heave a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing his daughter, Bai Xiaonian’s father felt very guilty and useless. Not only was he unable to be of help when his daughter was pregnant, but he was adding to her troubles.

“Xiaonian, you should go back!” Bai Xiaonian’s father managed feebly. “You’re a pregnant woman. It’s not appropriate for you to be at the hospital constantly. It’s full of bacteria here… It won’t be good for the child if you fall sick! Dad would have sinned greatly then…”

“Old Bai, what are you talking about? What sin! The children of our Bai family aren’t so delicate!” Bai Xiaonian sat down next to his bed and held her father’s hand. Her eyes were reddened, and her voice low, unlike how it usually sounded. “Mom died early, and you’re the one who raised me. You’ve got to help me take care of my child for Mom!”

According to Bai Xiaonian’s temper, she should be scolding her father right now. But Bai Xiaonian was truly worried about him…

Trying to feign casualness, Bai Xiaonian’s father gripped his daughter’s hand hard. Seeing the little girl he had doted upon since she was a baby nearly in tears, he said with a smile, “According to your temperament, shouldn’t you be scolding me now?”

“Mm!” Bai Xiaonian sniffled. “Perhaps because I’m pregnant… It must be the effects of the progesterone. Wait until I’ve given birth and get back to normal, I’ll definitely give you a good scolding!”

Bai Xiaonian wiped away the tears that nearly rolled down her cheeks as she spoke, pretending to glare at her father.

“Jinnan, quick… take her in hand. I’m old now and am no longer capable of doing so. She glares at me at the slightest provocation, hurry up and take her back to rest so that I can rest properly!” Bai Xiaonian’s father said to Lu Jinnan with a smile.

Lu Jinnan stood at the end of the bed with his hands in his pockets, a warm smile in his eyes. He said, “Dad, you’re putting me in a difficult position. How am I able to take Xiaonian in hand? Generally, I’ll… follow whatever Xiaonian says!”
