Chapter 1242 - I Can Sue You!

This was something that Bai Xiaonian’s father was unsure of.

He could tell that Lu Jinnan was very good to Bai Xiaonian, but as Bai Xiaonian’s father, he was also clear about the hurt in her heart.

He wanted them to be together, yet he feared that it’d be tormenting for both of them. During this period of time, Bai Xiaonian’s father had also felt very conflicted when he arranged for Bai Xiaonian to attend matchmaking sessions.

He was afraid that things wouldn’t end up well if Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan were to be together, and that Bai Xiaonian would be held up...

At the same time, he was also afraid that Bai Xiaonian still had Lu Jinnan in her heart, and that it’d also be holding her up if she were to be with someone else for his sake.

Lin Nuan consoled Bai Xiaonian’s father, saying, “Uncle... I feel that Xiaonian does care for Lu Jinnan. They should be the ones to settle the matter between them. We are concerned about them, but it’s true that we are of no help.”

Bai Xiaonian’s father nodded. In the aspect of relationships, it was like Lin Nuan had said. Outsiders... were of no help.

Bai Xiaonian’s father turned around to console Lin Nuan instead. “Nuan Nuan, there’s no need to be too worried. No matter what, Jinnan wouldn’t hurt Xiaonian!”

Bai Xiaonian’s father could tell that Lu Jinnan loved Bai Xiaonian. It was just that when it came to the child... there was now a hurdle in the heart of Bai Xiaonian’s father as well.

“Uncle Bai, don’t worry too much either!”

Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian’s father seemed to be consoling each other.

The two people in question were holed up in that villa, which had been turned into a mess, completely exhausted.

When the caretaker came and saw the horrible state of the house, she patiently cleaned up, wondering if the male and female owners had smashed the things in the house.

The sofa cushions in the living room were thrown in a mess, and the coffee table was turned over. The vase was smashed onto the ground as well.

Even the dining hall wasn’t spared. The dishes and food were thrown all over the floor.

The caretaker threw a glance upstairs. She didn’t hear anything, and it wasn’t suitable for her to head upstairs without permission. Therefore, she could only put on an apron and start to clean up the mess.

Upstairs, Bai Xiaonian was soaking in the warm and fragrant round bathtub with her eyes closed, feeling exhausted.

Her mind was filled with the scenes of Lu Jinnan looking down at her as he took a puff of the aphrodisiac cigarette, trapping her on the bed, and chewing the pills he had taken out of the bedside table’s drawer.

It was as if he didn’t care about his life...

Bai Xiaonian had heard in the past that there had been cases of people dying in bed from overconsumption of such aphrodisiac medicine.

This time around, she thought that both of them would die in the villa. Yet, Lu Jinnan told her that things would end after the last round. He was so weak that he had nothing else he could give her.

Even in her imagination, Bai Xiaonian had never thought that she would be put through such intense sex one day.

They didn’t take any contraceptive measures. Lu Jinnan was bent on impregnating Bai Xiaonian once again.

It had been three whole days. Bai Xiaonian had no idea if she would get pregnant. After all, these few days... weren’t her safe period.

In her heart, Bai Xiaonian had wanted that child to come back. However, she didn’t want to get involved with Lu Jinnan anymore. She was torn by contradiction.

Knocking sounds rang out from the bathroom door. Bai Xiaonian opened her eyes, and slight water sounds rang out from the bathtub.

Outside the door, Lu Jinnan had already changed into clean loungewear. He stood in the room that was filled with the scent of hormones after their intense sexual activities. He asked Bai Xiaonian in a soft voice from the other side of the door, “Are you alright?”

Bai Xiaonian’s painful throat rolled a little, and she spoke in an extremely hoarse voice. “If I’m alright, are you going to feed me medicine again?”

Lu Jinnan’s hand that was at his side clenched tightly, green veins popping up. He rested one hand on the door’s frosted glass and said in a soft voice, “I’ve made snow pear with rock sugar for you. It’s... good for the throat!”

“And then? Continue?” There was obvious coldness and anger in Bai Xiaonian’s voice.

Lu Jinnan’s hand that was resting on the glass tightened slightly. He said, “You’re the one I don’t want to hurt the most. I want to get into your good books and make you feel comfortable. I want to let you cross the hurdle of the child. I’ll accompany you!”

Bai Xiaonian didn’t say anything, so Lu Jinnan continued to stand outside.

Looking at the time, Bai Xiaonian had been soaking for close to 40 minutes. Although the bathtub’s water was kept heated at a constant temperature, Lu Jinnan was also afraid that she’d soak for too long. “Xiaonian, you’ve been soaking for a little too long. Come out.”

Bai Xiaonian knew that if she didn’t go out, Lu Jinnan would probably push open the door and come in. She pulled the bathrobe over, propped herself up with her trembling arms, and only managed to get up after a few tries.

She hadn’t had proper meals and had been tormented constantly... Bai Xiaonian’s body couldn’t keep up and was now very weak.

She put on the bathrobe and opened the bathroom door.

The bedroom’s smell wasn’t good. The smell left behind from the sex seemed to be like a stimulant to their bodies, like fertilizer to seeds. The medicine in their bodies that hadn’t completely depleted showed signs of acting up again from the smell.

Lu Jinnan bent over and picked up Bai Xiaonian horizontally, taking her to the guest room and settling her down on the soft and clean bed. He then took out the hairdryer... slowly drying Bai Xiaonian’s hair.

“I’ve told Auntie Liu to make hashima with milk. Have some later on. You haven’t had proper meals these few days and will need to get some nourishment,” Lu Jinnan said in a matter-of-fact tone, though he only received a cold snort from Bai Xiaonian.

Lu Jinnan didn’t mind it at all. He tied Bai Xiaonian’s long hair into a ponytail, the style that she was used to wearing her hair in. He then squatted down in front of Bai Xiaonian, holding onto her hands. “Xiaonian, this time around, don’t be afraid. I’ll be by your side, waiting for our child to be born safely! I have the feeling that... our child hasn’t left. The child is waiting for his parents to give him another chance to come into this world!”

Bai Xiaonian’s fingers twitched slightly.

Was the child really waiting?

“So, give the child a chance. Give me a chance as well! Let’s start anew...” Lu Jinnan rubbed Bai Xiaonian’s hands, sounding very sincere.

“Are you planning to continue with this until I get pregnant?” Bai Xiaonian’s expression was very calm, as if she wasn’t moved at all.

Lu Jinnan’s lips curled up into a smile. “Let me rest for a day! Then we’ll continue! We must let our child come back. I also... miss him a lot!”

The child was an armor that Bai Xiaonian wore in the fight against Lu Jinnan. It was also the pain in the softest spot in the depths of her heart.

She turned her moistened eyes away, frowning tightly. “Lu Jinnan, this is unlawful restraint! I can sue you!”

“En! After you get pregnant, I’ll accept it if you wish to sue me for unlawful restraint or for rape. I can even turn myself in! As long as both you and the child are well!”

Bai Xiaonian drew her hands away from Lu Jinnan’s, frowning as she said, “I’m tired...”

“Do you want to drink the hashima with milk before you sleep, or would you prefer to have the snow pear with rock sugar first?” Lu Jinnan asked.

Bai Xiaonian’s throat was really in a horrible state, being extremely hoarse. It hurt a lot with each word she said, so she chose to have the snow pear with rock sugar.

After drinking it, her mouth was filled with sickening sweetness. She wondered how much rock sugar Lu Jinnan had added.

However, Bai Xiaonian was too tired. She fell asleep immediately after closing her eyes.
