Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1145: A Good Woman Fears a Pestering Man

Bai Xiaonian’s father had already felt apologetic toward his daughter when she lost her mother back then. Therefore, he had treated her particularly well. He hadn’t expected to have brought her up to have this temperament.

Lu Jinnan shook his head. “Dad is right! It’s not as if Xiaonian has a bad temper, it’s just that she’s a little short-tempered. It’s nothing bad for a girl to be slightly short-tempered. Moreover, Xiaonian is a reasonable lady, and she never throws a tantrum for no reason.”

Bai Xiaonian’s father felt increasingly better when he heard Lu Jinnan’s words. “The two of you are a couple after all. You understand Xiaonian well!”

Lu Jinnan smiled and went upstairs with Bai Xiaonian’s father.

“Dad… I made Xiaonian upset. You have to help me…” Lu Jinnan sought help from Bai Xiaonian’s father.

Bai Xiaonian’s father nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll talk to Xiaonian. Why is she throwing a fit when the two of you are already married!”

“Dad, that’s not what I mean!” Lu Jinnan looked sincerely at Bai Xiaonian’s father. “Dad, I hope that no matter what happens, you’ll stand by Xiaonian’s side. It’s fine even if you join her to scold or beat me. You’re Xiaonian’s only family. If you stand on my side, Xiaonian will feel that she has been isolated. I don’t wish for Xiaonian to feel upset!”

Bai Xiaonian’s father rarely heard Lu Jinnan say so much. He looked at Lu Jinnan’s deep and sincere pitch-black eyes and saw that the latter appeared really sincere. A long time later, he nodded.

Bai Xiaonian’s father probably felt that his son-in-law was making compromises, so he patted Lu Jinnan’s arm. “You’re a good child. Dad knows!”

…

After having slept at Lu Jinnan’s place for a night, Bai Xiaonian felt that she was covered in his scent. Therefore, the first thing she did when she got home was shower.

When Bai Xiaonian was blowing her hair in the bathroom, her father had already brought Lu Jinnan into the house.

When Bai Xiaonian switched off the hairdryer, she heard her father talking to Lu Jinnan. She was stunned. She opened the bathroom door and saw that Lu Jinnan had taken off his coat and was bending over to mop the floor with a mop.

Bai Xiaonian’s brows furrowed. Before she could say anything, her father’s voice rang out from the kitchen. “Jinnan, what do you want to have for lunch?”

Lu Jinnan straightened up and looked at Bai Xiaonian. He clutched the mop and spoke in the direction of the kitchen. “Dad, I’ll eat whatever you cook. I’m not picky!”

“I just bought some prawns. I heard from Xiaonian that you like to eat prawns… How about we have braised prawns?” Bai Xiaonian’s father sounded very happy.

The house was usually too cold, but Bai Xiaonian’s father was now in an especially good mood since both his daughter and son-in-law were at home. Therefore, he wanted to show off his cooking skills…

Looking at Bai Xiaonian, whose long hair was draping down and who was wearing pajamas with cartoon prints, Lu Jinnan smiled. “Dad, I also want to eat stir-fried vegetables. I saw that you bought eggs. I also want to try stir-fried tomatoes with eggs and stir-fried meat with cumin. I heard from Xiaonian that stir-fried meat with cumin is your specialty!”

Bai Xianian’s brows raised, and she heard her father reply happily, “Alright, no problem!”

Bai Xiaonian secretly cursed Lu Jinnan for being shameless and then turned to head back to the room.

Lu Jinnan seemed as if he was going to be staying there. When they were eating, Bai Xiaonian’s father brought it up. “Jinnan will be staying here from today on. Bai Xiaonian, go tidy up that pigsty of yours. Free up half of your wardrobe space for Jinnan as well…”

“I refuse!” Bai Xiaonian’s lips curled up, and she said, “My upbringing is already very good for me to be able to tolerate Mr. Lu dining at the same table as me!”

Bai Xiaonian’s father didn’t force her. He said to Lu Jinnan, “Since that’s the case, then Jinnan, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to stay in the living room. Let me know if there’s anything you need. Dad will go to the supermarket later and buy things for you!”

Lu Jinnan nodded. He gave it some thought before saying, “I need… a towel, a toothbrush, some slippers, a shaver, shaving foam…”

Bai Xiaonian clutched her chopsticks tightly, then smiled as she said to him, “Mr. Lu, why don’t you take more care of your face[1]?”

“En!” Bai Xiaonian’s father nodded. “The face is very important, especially when my son-in-law has such a handsome face. Other than a shaver and shaving foam, you’ll need facial cleanser as well! Xiaonian’s cousin uses that! Do you want face masks…”

Bai Xiaonian looked at her father. “Old Bai, have you taken the wrong medicine?”

Bai Xiaonian only got an affectionate smile from her father.

Bai Xiaonian was rendered speechless.

Lu Jinnan seemed to give it some serious thought before saying, “There’s no need for face masks. I’m not used to using them…”

…

Since Lu Jinnan had gone on a long leave, Fu Huai’an and Tang Zheng got busy.

After the meeting, Tang Zheng rubbed his jingming acupuncture point[2] as he walked out and headed back to the office with Fu Huai’an. At the thought of Lu Jinnan, he couldn’t help but grumble, “Old Lu is really good. I went through so much to get a little bit of improvement in my relationship with Nainai. Nainai has even agreed to go on a trip with me, bringing Little Candy along. However, he went ahead of me and took leave! He’s really… so hateful!”

With Lu Jinnan on leave, Tang Zheng’s plan had gone to waste. Although You Nainai didn’t mind it, Tang Zheng had lost a perfect opportunity!

However, if this long leave could improve the relationship between Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian, then Tang Zheng would be happy as well…

He said to Fu Huai’an, “I heard that Lu Jinnan activated his shameless mode and is following Bai Xiaonian around all day, every day!”

Fu Huai’an also smiled at the mention of this. “From what I’ve heard from Xiao Nuan, this seems to be the case!”

“Tsk tsk… I told Lu Jinnan previously that a good woman fears a pestering man! I told him to just be shameless and make a move… but he said that I fed my pride to the dogs!” Tang Zheng slapped the file he was holding onto his hand. “Now, haha… I just want to ask Lu Jinnan if his face hurts!”

Fu Huai’an only smiled and didn’t say anything.

When Fu Huai’an arrived home after the meeting was over, it was already 8:30 pm. The moment he entered, he saw Lin Nuan carrying Yuan Yuan, accompanying Tuan Tuan while he was drawing.

Lin Nuan, Tuan Tuan, and Yuan Yuan were wearing white T-shirts of the same design, as well as denim overalls. The three of them were a heartwarming sight and absolute eye candy under the warm lighting.

Fu Huai’an removed his coat, passed it to a servant, and then headed toward the living room.

As if she had sensed something, Lin Nuan turned and looked in Fu Huai’an’s direction. “You’re back…”

Fu Huai’an smiled and nodded. He undid the button on his shirt collar, then walked over to plant a kiss on Lin Nuan and Yuan Yuan’s faces. He also bent over and rubbed Tuan Tuan’s head, resting one hand on the coffee table as he looked at Tuan Tuan’s drawing.

Tuan Tuan had moved away from his demonic drawing style, and the things he drew these days showed a greater degree of resemblance to the actual thing.

“Why are the three of you wearing the same thing?” Fu Huai’an asked.

“I’m on leave tomorrow, and I’m planning to take Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan to the amusement park together with Bai Xiaonian, Xiao Liuli, Nainai, and Little Candy. The three of us are planning to wear these. What do you think?” Lin Nuan looked especially beautiful as she smiled.

Fu Huai’an nodded. He stood up, undid the buttons at his sleeves, and then took off his watch. “It looks good…”

Looking at Lin Nuan’s bright smile, a thought hit Fu Huai’an. He asked, “Do you want me to accompany you?”
