Chapter 1047: Couldn’t Help but Whisper by Fu Huai’an’s Ear
Bai Xiaonian wore a white shirt, jeans, and white shoes. She also sported a pair of glasses on her elegant nose. She ran out to receive Lu Jinnan without even managing to put on her coat.
Before Bai Xiaonian received Lu Jinnan’s call, she hadn’t rested at all. She kept on searching for information and getting in touch with the connections she had made in the United States…
Bai Xiaonian looked so beautiful that it made one’s heart throb. It wasn’t a seductive beauty, but one that was clean and simple. With her sporting the pair of glasses, she also had an additional hint of scholarly air.
“Why didn’t you put on your coat?” Lu Jinnan took off his coat, walked up to Bai Xiaonian, and put it over her shoulders.
Bai Xiaonian felt the weight on her shoulders, and the chill from the environment was cut off by the coat that was covered in Lu Jinnan’s body warmth. She raised her head and saw the injuries on his face…
Bai Xiaonian was stunned. She tiptoed and put out her hand, pinching Lu Jinnan by the chin and checking his face out. “They used violence against you?”
Lu Jinnan’s heart felt really warm. He couldn’t be bothered with the injuries on his face. He held tightly onto Bai Xiaonian’s slender and fair wrist, his finger stroking it. “They are just minor injuries. I’m fine…”
“How are they minor injuries?” Bai Xiaonian’s scalp turned numb as she looked at the injuries on Lu Jinnan’s face. Flames of fury shot up in her, and her pair of beautiful eyes glared toward Jacksel, who was standing behind Lu Jinnan.
Jacksel felt a strange chill, not knowing what he should say. He could only rub his nose and say, “It was an accident…”
Bai Xiaonian grabbed onto Lu Jinnan’s wrist, pulling him behind her, then looked straight at Jacksel. She couldn’t control her fury, and her voice got increasingly louder. “Sir, you should know that I’m a reporter, right? Have you considered the consequences of handing Lu Jinnan, who is covered in injuries like this, to me?”
Bai Xiaonian tried hard to restrain her anger, but when she said those words, she still trembled uncontrollably.
“I’m very sorry, Mrs. Lu. Our men made a mistake. About Mr. Lu’s injuries… we’ve already spoken to him about it. We’ll be giving him some compensation!” Jacksel spoke very professionally.
The more that Jacksel spoke in this manner, the more Bai Xiaonian couldn’t restrain her fury. She looked at Jacksel, smiling in anger. “Compensation? What compensation?”
“Someone will contact Mr. Lu about this later on…”
“We’ll talk about it right now! Who laid their hands on Lu Jinnan? Let’s make things simple. If you don’t wish for this matter to blow up to an international scale, then hand them over. I’ll beat them up in the same places that Lu Jinnan is hurt! That would be very fair! Get them out here!” Bai Xiaonian’s explosive temper couldn’t be restrained. She was feeling so agitated that her finger was almost poking Jacksel’s face.
Jacksel was rendered speechless.
They were really husband and wife, to be having the same request!
“Mrs. Lu…” Jacksel looked at Bai Xiaonian. “Don’t worry. We’ll deal with the people who resorted to violence against Mr. Lu. I was the one who ordered it, and I’ll also give you an explanation for this. What do you think…”
Jacksel’s voice suddenly came to a stop as he was kicked in the most fragile spot by Bai Xiaonian, completely caught off guard. Jacksel’s face scrunched up in agony.
Bai Xiaonian wasn’t appeased after seeing Jacksel’s distorted face. “If I don’t hear news within an hour that those people, yourself included, have been punished, then prepare for this matter to be blown up on an international level! I mean what I say!”
Jacksel was in extreme pain. Bai Xiaonian had almost exerted all of her strength in that kick!
Jacksel had rarely been mobilized for operations in recent years and had been enjoying a good life in this building. His battle consciousness and wariness had both dropped, and it was inevitable that he had let down his guard, especially when he was in front of Bai Xiaonian, a weak lady.
Thankfully, Jacksel had been very skilled in the past. Otherwise, his future bliss would be gone after Bai Xiaonian’s kick.
Bai Xiaonian held tightly onto Lu Jinnan’s wrist, glared at Jacksel, and walked down the stairs.
A black car stopped behind Bai Xiaonian’s car. Fu Huai’an stood by the car, smiling non-stop when he saw Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian’s interlocked fingers.
“It’s Fu Huai’an…” Bai Xiaonian was the first to speak up.
“En!” Lu Jinnan replied. Just as Bai Xiaonian was about to let go of his hand, Lu Jinnan opened up her palm and interlocked his fingers with hers.
Bai Xiaonian wanted to draw back her hand, but Lu Jinnan held tightly onto it. Her heart was beating really fast, and she lowered her voice, saying with a warning tone, “Lu Jinnan!”
“Old Fu isn’t an outsider… It’s fine for him to see it!” Lu Jinnan took Bai Xiaonian’s hand, and while she was struggling, he frowned. It seemed that his wounds had been tugged at, and he drew in a sharp breath.
Bai Xiaonian was still struggling to break free when she saw Lu Jinnan frowning, seeming to be in a lot of pain. She hesitated for a moment and, unable to bear seeing him in pain, allowed him to hold onto her hand.
Little Lu was standing next to Fu Huai’an, looking up at Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan, who were coming down the stairs. He couldn’t help but whisper next to Fu Huai’an’s ear, “It seems that this matter is a blessing in disguise for President Lu!”
The smile in Fu Huai’an’s deep gaze became even more intense, and he replied, “En…”
Both Little Lu and Lu Jinnan shared the same surname, and they might have been relatives from 500 years ago. Therefore, while his boss was in a good mood, he tried to help Lu Jinnan fight for some welfare. “Sir, President Lu got injured this time around. Why not let him take some leave to have a good rest, recuperate, and also build up his relationship with Ms. Bai?”
Fu Huai’an turned and looked at Little Lu, appearing as if he had suddenly thought of something. “Should I also give you some leave so that you can build up your relationship with Saihand?”
Little Lu was stunned, and his face instantly flushed. “Sir, Mr. Saihand and I are friends, very good friends. Don’t be speaking gibberish just because of a joke that Mr. Cen said. I still want to get a girlfriend in the future. What if other people were to have misunderstandings?”
Little Lu was a real man, one whose gender was male and who had a preference for women!
Fu Huai’an nodded. “Alright, then when you meet a girl you like, I’ll give you two months of paid leave so that you can build up your relationship with her!”
Little Lu was speechless.
Should he be laughing or crying?
Lu Jinnan had come down the stairs with Bai Xiaonian, and they were now standing in front of Fu Huai’an.
On the way there, Fu Huai’an had already found out how Lu Jinnan had been treated when he was in there. Therefore, he wasn’t surprised by the wounds on his face. Fu Huai’an opened the car door and said to Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian, “Get in the car… We’ll head to the hospital for a checkup first!”
“There’s no need to make a trip to the hospital. I’ll just go to Xiaonian’s place and get some simple treatment!” Lu Jinnan held tightly onto Bai Xiaonian’s hand, not letting go.
Bai Xiaonian put up a struggle, wanting to draw out her hand. However, she didn’t dare to exert too much force in view of his injuries. “I’m not a doctor, so how can I possibly apply any treatment? Quickly go to the hospital and get a checkup!”
“I know that I’m fine. You should have a first aid kit at your place. It’ll be alright to just deal with the wounds simply!”
