Chapter 1241 - If You Can, I’ll Die!

The hurdle that Bai Xiaonian couldn’t cross was the child. Lu Jinnan had always known about this.

It wasn’t that Lu Jinnan’s patience toward Bai Xiaonian was going to be wiped out. It was just that he was unable to withstand this ambiguous relationship with her.

As long as Bai Xiaonian could start anew with him, he could give her his patience for his entire life. It’d be fine even if he had to lower himself before her forever!

Lu Jinnan sat in the chair like an old monk in meditation, not even blinking his eyes.

After some time, he suddenly put down the cigarette and dialed Bai Xiaonian’s number.

The phone rang for a very long time, but no one picked up. Lu Jinnan waited patiently, and Bai Xiaonian only picked up the call after it rang for the sixth time…

“Lu Jinnan, what are you doing? Can you let others have a proper bath? Why do you keep calling…”

Bai Xiaonian’s voice sounded slightly angered, bringing a hint of a smile to Lu Jinnan’s calm and composed expression. His strong features that had a hint of liveliness to them were reflected in the French windows, merging into the brilliant lights in Haicheng, looking very gentle and nice.

Almost without any hesitation, when he heard Bai Xiaonian’s voice, he got up, picked up his jacket, and headed out. “I’ll pick you up. There’s something I have to tell you…”

Suddenly, Lu Jinnan seemed to have made up his mind…

During this period of time, he had been the inferior and submissive one, trying to get into her good books. He had forgotten that he was Lu Jinnan!

He had to get back the child that they had lost… Only then would Bai Xiaonian be able to cross this hurdle.

In order to get their relationship back, there was something that Lu Jinnan wanted to do.

Bai Xiaonian hadn’t been avoiding Lu Jinnan. She seemed to want to tell him through this that she had already let go of him, wanting him to stop pestering her as well.

On the day Bai Xiaonian’s father found out that she had lost a child before, she left again after going home. She stayed quietly at Lu Jinnan’s place for one night. Ever since then, it had been even easier for her to face Lu Jinnan.

Bai Xiaonian didn’t have any doubts. She told Lu Jinnan to give her a call after he arrived.

However, this time around, Bai Xiaonian hadn’t expected that Lu Jinnan would directly drive back to the place he called “their home” after she got in his car.

On the way, Bai Xiaonian asked what Lu Jinnan wanted to talk about. Lu Jinnan only said that it was related to Lin Nuan…

At the mention of Lin Nuan, Bai Xiaonian couldn’t help but feel worried. “What happened to Nuan Nuan?”

She was still fine when they were on the phone a little over an hour ago!

Bai Xiaonian took out her phone and wanted to call Lin Nuan, but Lu Jinnan grabbed her fair wrist and stopped her. “I’ll tell you when we get home!”

Bai Xiaonian hated the fingerprint lock at this place. However, ever since she started to be able to co-exist peacefully with Lu Jinnan, she no longer hated it as much.

The moment they entered, all the lights were lit up. Bai Xiaonian changed her shoes and asked Lu Jinnan, “What about Nuan Nuan did you want to talk about?”

The moment she finished speaking, Bai Xiaonian was carried up horizontally.

“What are you doing?” Bai Xiaonian was startled, and she subconsciously grabbed onto the back of Lu Jinnan’s collar.

“Going upstairs…”

It had been a very long time since Bai Xiaonian had seen such a domineering Lu Jinnan. She was a little stunned.

By the time she returned to her senses, she had already been tossed onto the big bed. She saw Lu Jinnan half-kneeling at the side of the bed, taking off his suit. He was undoing his shirt’s buttons, looking down on Bai Xiaonian.

Bai Xiaonian was struck by realization when she saw Lu Jinnan acting this way.

It seemed like the last time he had been so domineering toward her was in their previous lifetime. She furrowed her brows, clutching tightly onto the bed sheets that were filled with his scent. Flames of fury flared up in her heart. “Lu Jinnan… you lied to me about something happening to Lin Nuan so that you could bring me here and rape me? Is this the only thing you know how to do? Other than this, do you not know anything else?”

“I spoke with Lin Nuan on the phone today. She told me… the hurdle between us that can’t be crossed is the child!”

As Lu Jinnan spoke, he took off his shirt and threw it to the foot of the bed. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket. There was an image of two bodies entangled together lewdly.

He lowered his head and lit one. The flame flickered in the bedroom that had no lights on. Lu Jinnan took a deep puff and lowered his body toward Bai Xiaonian…

Bai Xiaonian tried to dodge but failed. Lu Jinnan held onto her slender wrists with one hand and transferred the smoke into her mouth!

It wasn’t the taste of nicotine, and it wasn’t choking at all. It was cooling, with a strong hint of sweetness. The puff entered Bai Xiaonian’s lungs.

“Lu Jinnan!” Bai Xiaonian screamed but was unable to break free. “What is this?”

She questioned him hysterically. In fact, Bai Xiaonian already had the answer when she saw the picture on the pack.

For someone whose job involved news, the one thing that couldn’t be accepted was for them not to be well-informed about things!

It was said that there was an aphrodisiac cigarette that was popular in the market now. It had a nice-sounding name, but it was said that it would take effect from one puff in less than ten seconds. It would make one submit to their desires and be unable to get out of the trance, and it was currently very popular in the entertainment industry.

Lu Jinnan didn’t say anything. He turned his head and took a deep puff, then tossed the cigarette off the bed. “Since our hurdle is a child, then we’ll have another!”

“Aren’t you afraid that you’ll bring death upon yourself in the end?” Bai Xiaonian grabbed onto the pillow, wanting to smash it at Lu Jinnan angrily. However, her wrists were being held down by Lu Jinnan, and she was unable to draw them out of his grasp. Bai Xiaonian could only bear with it and grab onto the pillow tightly.

“If I die, will you be able to get out of the deadlock of having lost the child?” Lu Jinnan’s eye sockets were very deep, and when he said this, it made one feel as if they were on tenterhooks. “If you can, I’ll die!”

Bai Xiaonian’s pupils trembled. She knew that… Lu Jinnan wasn’t joking.

As long as Bai Xiaonian could get out of the deadlock, Lu Jinnan would willingly die or even become her slave for life.

Of all the sweet nothings that Lu Jinnan had said, this was the strongest. He kissed Bai Xiaonian’s lips intensely, using his almost maniacal method to desperately draw closer to Bai Xiaonian.

The sky lit up, then turned dark again. Three whole days passed by…

Lu Jinnan seemed to have no regard for his life. After using the aphrodisiac cigarette, he then used aphrodisiac medicine. He chewed up the tablet, ate it, and also fed Bai Xiaonian. It was as if he wanted to die in bed together with Bai Xiaonian.

Bai Xiaonian wanted to resist this, but she couldn’t win against the medicine. She thought that Lu Jinnan wanted to die and pull her with him.

No one had been able to contact Bai Xiaonian for three whole days. Even the British ambassador’s daughter hadn’t been able to get in touch with Bai Xiaonian.

When Tang Zheng heard that no one could get in touch with Bai Xiaonian, he recalled the aphrodisiac cigarette that Lu Jinnan had gotten from him…

Tang Zheng told Fu Huai’an awkwardly that there shouldn’t be any need to panic. Bai Xiaonian should be with Lu Jinnan!

Unable to make things too clear, Tang Zheng only said that Lu Jinnan had mentioned it to him previously. He didn’t share anything more.

Lin Nuan called Bai Xiaonian’s father and told him that Bai Xiaonian was with Lu Jinnan and that there was no need to worry.

After Bai Xiaonian’s father heard that, he wasn’t in any hurry to hang up the call. Instead, he asked Lin Nuan, “Nuan Nuan, do you think that there’s still a chance for Xiaonian and Jinnan to be together?”
