Chapter 1244: He’s Definitely Not Like the Other Guys From Before!

She sat back in the front passenger seat with a disappointed look on her face.

“I’m sorry!” Lu Jinnan bowed his head towards Bai Xiaonian. She was now facing problems at work because he kept her at home. It was all his fault.

This time, Bai Xiaonian surprisingly didn’t flare up at Lu Jinnan.

She simply replied, “Forget it. Maybe I wasn’t fated to do it... and Shen Zizhou wasn’t planning to accept any interviews anyway! If I’m fated to interview him... I’ll get the chance to do it someday!”

Lu Jinnan continued, “Yeah. We were fated to have our child, so... he’ll come back!”

Bai Xiaonian subconsciously placed her hand over her abdomen.

“I believe that our child will always be by our side, waiting for the right time to come back to us. Trust me, he’ll... come back to us very soon!”

The child was a topic that Lu Jinnan always avoided talking about, yet now it had become the key to opening the door to Bai Xiaonian’s heart.

Although Bai Xiaonian didn’t reply, her heart already began to waver.

Not wanting to push Bai Xiaonian too far, Lu Jinnan started up the car again and said, “I’ll take you home! Father’s probably worried sick about you...”

Bai Xiaonian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

...

When Tong Huan reached the location Bai Xiaonian and Shen Zizhou had agreed on for the interview, she didn’t see Shen Zizhou at all—just as Bai Xiaonian expected. Tong Huan could only furiously head back and complain to their superior, shifting the blame to Bai Xiaonian and hiding how she forcefully stole Bai Xiaonian’s interview opportunity.

Bai Xiaonian was also on her guard and was one step ahead of Tong Huan. She had already sent the recordings of their call and her call with Shen Zizhou’s assistant to their superior.

Bai Xiaonian hated being involved in dirty work at the workplace. After dealing with Tong Huan using the same methods Lin Nuan once used to deal with others, she applied for extended leave on the basis of being sick. That way, she could also express her dissatisfaction with her superior.

Bai Xiaonian took a nap once she arrived home. After she woke up, she was looking for clothes in her luggage when she found the birth control pills she bought in America. She took one... and yet, the child still came!

This time...

Bai Xiaonian gripped the blister pack of birth control pills as she thought about what Lu Jinnan said... Their child was waiting for the right time to come back to them.

Bai Xiaonian couldn’t bear to think of the child any longer and shoved the birth control pills into the innermost corner of the luggage. She then pretended as if she’d never found the pills in the first place.

This time, Bai Xiaonian was giving herself and Lu Jinnan a chance. She was also allowing the child to find the right time to come back to them.

If the child didn’t come back this time, she would just let it all go!

Bai Xiaonian wanted to run away from her feelings and left everything to God and the child...

With the way she and Lu Jinnan were going at it, if the child really was by her side... he would probably come back!

These past few days, Bai Xiaonian’s father avoided bringing up Lu Jinnan in front of Bai Xiaonian as much as possible. Hence, even though he knew that Bai Xiaonian didn’t come home because she was with Lu Jinnan, he didn’t ask her where she had gone.

Bai Xiaonian knew it was very unlike her father to do so, but she didn’t expose him.

After supper, Bai Xiaonian saw that her father was watching a pretty lady’s broadcast while washing the dishes. She walked over and teased him, “Why, Old Bai, do you want a twilight romance?”

“Nonsense! What are you saying, you brat?” Bai Xiaonian’s father naturally passed a plate that had been rinsed clean to his daughter. “What do you know? This is the successor to the culinary king, Tang Xiangting. She calls herself the Lady Iron Chef, and she does live broadcasts to teach people Tang-style cooking! I’m trying to learn from her broadcasts so that I can cook for you!”

Bai Xiaonian stood beside her father and pulled out a kitchen towel to wipe the plate dry while looking at her father’s phone screen. “Are you talking about Tang Xiangting’s oldest daughter, Tang Jinghua? I’ve heard of her! She’s known as ‘Lady Iron Chef’ and is supposedly even more popular than some top female celebrities! She’s quite pretty too!”

Tang Xiangting had a well-earned reputation as the king of the kitchen. It was said that Tang Xiangting owned a cookbook, “The Tang Family’s Recipes”, that had been passed down from his ancestors who were former imperial chefs. Some of the dishes mentioned in the cookbook could only be eaten at Tang Xiangting’s restaurant “Tang Restaurant” and nowhere else.

“This lady is really good! Remember the steamed glutinous rice with chicken wrapped in lotus leaves I made for you? Didn’t you find it tasty? Over the past few days, when you weren’t at home, I followed this lady’s instructions and made it once. It really tasted different. I’ll make it again for you some time so that you can try it!”

Bai Xiaonian’s father sighed as he passed the last plate to Bai Xiaonian. “Sigh... the food already tastes this good when you follow her instructions. Imagine what this young lady’s cooking skills are like! The culinary king’s probably even better! I don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to try his cooking.”

“I’ll take you to his restaurant when I get the chance! I have connections!” Bai Xiaonian arranged the plates neatly after she’d wiped them dry. Then, she cut up some fruits and took them out to Old Bai, who was now watching television.

There was an unspoken understanding between the two of them that they wouldn’t bring up the fact that Bai Xiaonian didn’t come home for a few days. They pretended as if it had never happened. Bai Xiaonian’s father also didn’t ask Bai Xiaonian what was wrong with her voice.

“I’ve arranged a blind date for you tomorrow. I’ve personally assessed the guy this time. He studied for his master’s degree abroad... and his field of study is about the news, so the two of you should have a lot of things to talk about!” Bai Xiaonian’s father pulled out a photo and showed it to Bai Xiaonian. “The young lad speaks well and had a good upbringing! He’s definitely not like the other guys from before!”

Bai Xiaonian’s eyes scanned the photo in her father’s hand. She then took the photo, glanced at it, and asked, “Where and when do I meet him? To make things clear... Nuan Nuan asked me to have lunch with her tomorrow, so I won’t be free in the afternoon!”

A satisfied smile formed on Bai Xiaonian’s father’s lips. She finally didn’t turn down the idea of going on a blind date. “I’ve arranged for you to meet him at 7 pm tomorrow. The young lad even said that if you’re busy tomorrow, he’s okay with just meeting you for coffee!”

The man probably gave in and said that before Bai Xiaonian and her father said anything because he was very satisfied with Bai Xiaonian.

The next morning, Bai Xiaonian drove her A4 to pick up the British ambassador’s daughter and then visit Lin Nuan on set. Life went on as per normal. It was as if she’d left behind the memories of the crazy things that she and Lu Jinnan did in the villa.

Since the ambassador’s daughter wasn’t wilful, it was no wonder that Bai Xiaonian agreed to bring her to see Lin Nuan when she was asked to do so over the phone.

When Lin Nuan was filming, the British ambassador’s daughter sat with Bai Xiaonian. She was starry-eyed, and the look on her face gave away her excitement as she praised her idol for her acting skills.

When Lin Nuan took a break, the ambassador’s daughter quickly ran up to her and gave her water and a warm towel. She was even more thoughtful than You Nainai...

No one else could understand the love the young girl had for her idol. After she took a photo with Lin Nuan, she gave her a present. When Lin Nuan opened it... she saw an especially expensive bracelet inside.

Lin Nuan originally didn’t want to accept the present, but she ended up doing so upon seeing the look of anticipation on the young girl’s face. She then took out a pair of ear studs that she’d just bought and hadn’t gotten the chance to wear and passed them to the young girl.
