Chapter 1288 - After All, My Reputation In The Past Wasn’t That Good!

Lu Jinnan remained calm as he bit the cigarette at the corner of his lips. He narrowed his eyes and held onto Lu Jinbei’s hand that was pushing towards him at a leisurely pace. He grabbed Lu Jinbei’s arm with one hand and pressed his head with the other, his cold eyes staring at Cai Jingyao.

Cai Jingyao was so scared that she retreated a few steps.

“Lu Jinnan, let go of me! Let go of me! Let’s fight one-on-one! I won’t allow you to insult my woman!” Lu Jinbei shouted, but he was unable to break free from Lu Jinnan’s restraint.

Lu Jinnan raised Lu Jinbei’s arm, and Lu Jinbei immediately howled in pain.

“I’ll give you one last chance…” Lu Jinnan bit onto his cigarette as he spoke in a sloppy manner. His eyes, which were half-lidded after the white smoke, looked down at Cai Jingyao from above. “What do you want? If you get it, stay away from my brother. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you wouldn’t even know how you die!”

Cai Jingyao’s back stiffened, and she only shivered. She had seen such a gaze in Cen Mo’s eyes. It was as if she was looking at a dead object.

However, at that time, Cen Mo was smiling… and thinking about it still sent chills down Cai Jingyao’s back.

In Cen Mo’s world, Cai Jingyao didn’t push her way because she knew it would be in vain. Cen Mo’s methods were too scary. He was a lunatic, not a normal person!

But when Cai Jingyao turned to look at Lu Jinnan, she couldn’t understand why Lu Jinnan, who was clearly a normal person, would look at her like that.

Which one of those with social status was clean? Which one was pure?

Lu Jinnan, who had killed people before, wasn’t a kind person.

At that moment, Cai Jingyao had the intention to retreat, but it was only for a moment…

“Lu Jinnan, you b*stard! You can’t bear to see me be better than you! You snatched my girlfriend, and now you’re chasing away my woman! You, murderer, are too vicious! I don’t have an older brother like you! You’re a murderer! A murderer!”

Hearing Lu Jinbei’s words, Cai Jingyao clenched her fists. “Xiao Bei, don’t speak!”

Cai Jingyao then calmed down and said to Lu Jinnan, “I don’t want to leave Xiao Bei. Xiao Bei is my first man! Brother Jinnan… I know you’re prejudiced against me. I can understand that. After all, my reputation wasn’t that good in the past! But even murderers have a chance to repent, right? Just like how you killed someone back then, the judge gave you a chance to repent. Now, you’re standing here perfectly fine! If Bai Xiaonian didn’t give you a chance to repent, how could you marry Bai Xiaonian and even have a child?”

Her words made sense…

“What did you say to this b*stard? He just can’t bear to see me happy! Lu Jinnan, Mom died early, so you’re bullying me like this? Aren’t you afraid that Mom will rise from the grave and look for you? You snatched away your brother’s girlfriend, and now you’re chasing away your brother’s new girlfriend. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll die a horrible death?”

Seeing that Lu Jinnan was unmoved, Cai Jingyao hurriedly said, “Three months! No… one month! I want one month! If you can’t accept me becoming Lu Jinbei’s wife a month later, I’ll leave! I don’t want anything! Just take it that… I’ll be sentenced to a slow death!”

Seeing that Lu Jinnan didn’t say anything, Lu Jinbei howled, “Lu Jinnan, what else do you want? Do you want us to die together? Will you be blissful for breaking us up?”

Lu Jinnan didn’t want to push Lu Jinbei too far. He pushed Lu Jinbei away, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Lu Jinnan frowned as he removed the cigarette from his lips and said, “Remember what you said. One month… If you don’t take the initiative to leave by then, I can’t be sure if something happens to you!”

Cai Jingyao stood rooted to the ground, looking straight into Lu Jinnan’s eyes. She wasn’t in a hurry to help Lu Jinbei, who was sitting on the ground. She nodded. “Don’t worry… I’ll work hard to let you see me in a new light! You’ll definitely accept me!”

Cai Jingyao’s words were a double entendre, and the corners of her lips turned up… Under the bright lights of the police station, she revealed a vibrant smile that she had practiced countless times.

But Lu Jinnan’s gaze didn’t waver at all. He turned and left.

Cai Jingyao stood there, watching as Lu Jinnan threw the cigarette butt into the trash, pulled open the car door, and left.

It was really… rare to see such a manly man.

Even Cai Jingyao couldn’t hold back her racing heart. No wonder Bai Xiaonian was seduced.

However, Lu Jinnan wasn’t Cai Jingyao’s ultimate goal. Her ultimate goal… was Fu Huai’an. Therefore, her next step was to think of a way to be the spokesperson of Kaide Corporation’s new product endorsement.

Lu Jinbei stood up, frowning as he watched Lu Jinnan drive away. His brows furrowed as he cursed Lu Jinnan a hundred times in his heart. Only when he turned around did he notice Cai Jingyao’s arm.

“What happened to your arm?” Lu Jinbei asked.

Cai Jingyao was speechless.

Was it a bit too late to realize?

Cai Jingyao pretended as if nothing had happened. She smiled and said, “I was afraid you’d get hit just now. I tried to stop you… but I fell and got scratched by a porcelain piece. It’s okay!”

Lu Jinbei looked up at Cai Jingyao’s smiling eyes. Feeling a little guilty, he frowned and walked to Cai Jingyao’s side to apologize. “I’m sorry, I was rash and got you injured. I even caused you to be questioned by that scoundrel Lu Jinnan.”

Cai Jingyao shook her head and tucked her hair, which had been blown away by the night wind, behind her ears. She said to Lu Jinbei, “Then… if you dote on me more, I’ll be content!”

Lu Jinbei gazed at Cai Jingyao, his eyes slightly reddened, his heart warm.

He had once anticipated that there would be a lady who could be so warm to him. He had anticipated that the lady was Bai Xiaonian, but Bai Xiaonian had a fiery temper and never said anything so heartwarming.

His heart wasn’t made of stone. How could Lu Jinbei not be touched by such gentleness?

Cai Jingyao reached out a hand to Lu Jinbei. “Mr. Lu, remember to stay with me for a month! Don’t make your family look down on me, okay?”

Lu Jinbei nodded solemnly and grabbed Cai Jingyao’s hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll accompany you for the rest of my life! I’ll let my father accept you too!”

Cai Jingyao smiled and nodded, a look of absolute trust in Lu Jinbei in her eyes. “Let’s go home… I’ll help you treat your wound!”

At this moment, Lu Jinbei finally made up his mind to spend the rest of his life with Cai Jingyao…

He wanted to spend more than a month with her. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with such a gentle and adorable partner.

…

When Lu Jinnan got home, he parked the car and saw that the bedroom lights were still on. He tugged at his clothes and sniffed—there was a cigarette smell on it.

He sighed, then pulled open the car door to the driver’s seat. He took out a box of chewing gum from the storage box and chewed it before entering the master bedroom to retrieve his shower gel. He then took a shower in the guest room before returning to his room.

Bai Xiaonian had a light sleep after becoming pregnant and was startled when Lu Jinnan got on the bed.
