1136 Because I Don’t Have Any Lingering Feelings for Lu Jinbei!

Over at Lu Jinnan's side, several hours ago, he rushed to the roundabout on Qujiang Road. At the third exit on the roundabout, he saw Bai Xiaonian, who was dressed in black slim-fit pants and a light-blue V-neck shirt.

Perhaps because she was too anxious, Bai Xiaonian had left her jacket in the car and didn't take it out with her. Holding her phone in one hand, she was discussing something with the driver who bumped into her car.

The cool wind brushed through her hair. She tucked the loose strands of hair behind her ear with a frown, her thin lips parting and closing.

"Pal, you drove too close to my car and bumped into me! I already said to settle this via insurance and that I won't ask you to take responsibility, so why are you refusing to let me go?" Bai Xiaonian was so mad that her voice was two pitches higher. "Don't tell me that you want me to compensate you even though you're the one who drove too close to the car in front!"

"This… don't be anxious. I'm a newbie, so I really have no idea with whom the responsibility lies. Let's not shift the cars and just wait for the traffic police to arrive first!"

The driver speaking with Bai Xiaonian seemed rather old and had just obtained his driver's license. His car was brand new too. They could tell he seemed very nervous.

Lu Jinnan's car stopped at a red light at the first exit. When he saw Bai Xiaonian, who was holding her phone and arguing with the driver with a helpless look on her face, a smile appeared in his eyes.

The light turned green, and Lu Jinnan stepped on the accelerator and drove over, stopping right behind the new driver's car before getting out of his car.

Upon seeing Lu Jinnan, Bai Xiaonian stopped looking so furious. Seeing Lu Jinnan walking towards her, her heartbeat quickened for some reason.

Lu Jinnan didn't get to speak with Bai Xiaonian. He stood beside Bai Xiaonian, and she lowered her gaze…

Amidst the cold wind, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders as a suit jacket was placed over them.

"President Lu!"

Lu Jinnan's assistant arrived just in time.

Lu Jinnan placed one hand on Bai Xiaonian's shoulder and said to his assistant, "I'll leave you to handle this matter!"

"Okay, don't worry, President Lu!"

He said nothing to the new driver who bumped into Bai Xiaonian's car. Although the driver was in his fifties and looked a lot older than Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan, he was intimidated by Lu Jinnan's aura and didn't dare say anything. He merely watched as Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan left.

Lu Jinnan helped Bai Xiaonian pull open the front passenger seat door and shielded her while she entered. He walked around the front of the car and got into the car, then attentively helped Bai Xiaonian buckle her seatbelt…

"I'll do it myself!" Bai Xiaonian took the seatbelt from Lu Jinnan.

After driving some distance, Bai Xiaonian said with a frown, "This isn't the way to the Fu residence!"

"Mm, it's not! Xiaonian, I'd like to have a good chat with you. Let's go to my place," Lu Jinnan said.

Bai Xiaonian's lips curled. She sneered and gazed at Lu Jinnan, subconsciously clutching her seatbelt. "Take me to your place to talk. Then what? Force yourself upon me again? Lu Jinnan… other than forcing yourself on women, what other tactics are you capable of?"

"It was my fault the other time!" Lu Jinnan apologized quickly, not rebutting. "I had too much to drink. I'm very sorry! Bai Xiaonian… I no longer know how to love you, how to retain you!"

Bai Xiaonian paused in surprise…

She had never thought that Lu Jinnan would soften his stance before her.

A few months ago, when Lu Jinnan drank too much, it was Bai Xiaonian who sent him back. He had pulled Bai Xiaonian and refused to let her go. Despite Bai Xiaonian's insistence on leaving, and even though she almost succeeded in leaving, she was pulled back into the house and forced to have sexual relations with him.

However, this time, when he repeatedly said he loved her in that choked voice countless times, Bai Xiaonian's heart did soften a little.

"Other than myself… I don't know what I should give you!" Lu Jinnan looked ahead, his gaze deep. "Bai Xiaonian, why don't you cut open my chest with a knife and see if my heart is still there, then feel your own chest… and consider if it's gone over to you!"

Bai Xiaonian looked away, peering at the reversing neon lights outside the window. "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Regarding Hong Jinyun, the first time I met her behind your back was because I wanted to know what exactly happened back then. I wanted to know if I was tricked! I stopped having feelings for her a long time ago!" Lu Jinnan looked ahead, his hands clutching the steering wheel tightly.

"Old Fu once said that so long as Lin Nuan loved him with 10% of the love she felt for Wen Moshen, even his life would belong to her!" Lu Jinnan turned on the turn signal and parked the car by the side of the road. He solemnly gazed at Bai Xiaonian, who was feigning nonchalance and staring ahead. "I'll make things clear today. Bai Xiaonian, regardless of whether you love me or not, I, Lu Jinnan, have decided that you're the one for me and that my life is yours! So long as I'm alive, I'll pester you for a lifetime!"

Bai Xiaonian's seemingly calm pupils quivered slightly. She twisted her head and looked at Lu Jinnan. "Lu Jinnan, don't say things like your life is mine… or that you'll pester me for a lifetime. You know what I ask for is very simple…"

"I'm explaining it to you, so listen to me first!" Lu Jinnan's voice was calm. "Hong Jinyun is in the late stages of her cancer and won't live for long. Her mother…"

"Lu Jinnan, I don't think you're a kind man!" Bai Xiaonian couldn't resist interrupting Lu Jinnan mid-sentence. She didn't want to give Lu Jinnan a chance to explain, because every time he mentioned Hong Jinyun, every word he said pricked her heart.

She said, "Because your ex is about to die, you gave her money at the request of your ex's mother. Honestly speaking, I already find this hard to accept! Plus, you even went to look for her time and again?"

Bai Xiaonian gazed at Lu Jinnan with her clear eyes. "If your brother Lu Jinbei were about to die, I would clap my hands and cheer. Do you know why? Because I don't have any lingering feelings for Lu Jinbei!"

Without giving Lu Jinnan a chance to speak, Bai Xiaonian continued, "You asked me to cut open your chest and take a look. I'd really like to take a look!"

Lu Jinnan apologized again, saying, "This was my fault! In this matter, Hong Jinyun was a victim too. I don't have lingering feelings towards Hong Jinyun. Be it giving her money… or visiting her, it's because I already found out what exactly happened back then! It wasn't her fault…"

Bai Xiaonian looked at Lu Jinnan and said nothing, merely laughing lightly. Bai Xiaonian didn't wish to argue with Lu Jinnan about whether Hong Jinyun was kind or evil.

Perhaps Hong Jinyun was really just a victim.

But back then, Lu Jinnan even killed someone for Hong Jinyun, so how could Bai Xiaonian remain calm?

"You're right. I'm not a kind person. I learned what exactly happened, and it was all because of me!" Lu Jinnan pulled Bai Xiaonian's shoulder back and gazed at her. "Hong Jinyun was my girlfriend back then, that's the reason she was abducted and was injected with drugs and unable to kick her addiction for many years. Xiaonian… how can I leave her alone?"

When they met in America by chance, after he found out that Hong Jinyun was unable to kick her drug addiction for many years, Lu Jinnan thought of his twin brother Lu Jindong.

He wasn't able to rescue Lu Jindong, so he wanted to help Hong Jinyun!
