Chapter 804: Chapter 792:
Gong Xueyan isn’t stupid; upon careful thought, she understands the reasoning behind it.
Qin Shaoju choosing her is actually a very shrewd move.
Lu Jinxuan sat by the bedside and gently tidied Susu’s hair, even pulling the blanket up.
These actions seemed warm and caring, but... Gong Xueyan could see through it; he wasn’t sincere.
If this person truly is Lu Jinxuan, then everything makes sense.
She has seen how earnest Lu Jinxuan can be.
The person who made him earnest was Yu Sangwan.
How much does Lu Jinxuan like Yu Sangwan? She knew it the first time they met in Antarctica.
One could say it was like an earth-shattering, undying devotion.
She will always remember how Lu Jinxuan mobilized forces from various countries, searching through the boundless snowy plains overnight for Yu Sangwan. He even fired his gun, venting his frustration on her limbs!
Lu Jinxuan is a very cold person, so... once he falls in love, it is truly different.
Like how he is now tucking Susu in, it’s nothing more than just putting on a show!
Gong Xueyan also noticed that ever since the news of Helian Si and Qin Mengshu’s wedding was released, he has been noticeably different from before... seemingly very happy? But what’s there to be happy about this?
Moreover, he leaves early and returns late every day, sometimes even returning in the morning just to change clothes and then leaves for work again.
What’s strange about all of this?
The phone in her pocket vibrated.
Gong Xueyan was startled, quickly walked to the side, and took it out.
It was from Qin Shaoju... a blatant threat!
Xueyan, have you thought it over? Still no action. What, are you thinking of letting me reunite with Susu as father and daughter?
Ah! Gong Xueyan’s heart skipped a beat; she would never allow such a thing to happen!
She looked up at Lu Jinxuan, wondering what to do. Although she had doubts, but...
Back then, the news of Lu Jinxuan’s death was an indisputable fact. The whole world believed that this Helian Si was genuine!
The problem is difficult to handle... if it weren’t, Qin Shaoju wouldn’t have been at a loss all these years.
Lu Jinxuan stood up, turned to see Gong Xueyan in a daze, and couldn’t help but frown, "Xueyan, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah?" Gong Xueyan was surprised and awkwardly smiled, "Nothing."
In a fluster, she suddenly walked over.
"Are you tired?" Gong Xueyan raised her hand, reaching for his neck, "Let me help you loosen your tie and take off your coat..."
"Xueyan!"
Lu Jinxuan lifted his hand, gripping her wrist, "I hope you understand... my letting you stay at Guan Chao isn’t because I have any feelings for you."
"..." Gong Xueyan’s face stiffened, "I... I overstepped."
Lu Jinxuan shook his head, "Just focus on taking care of the child, don’t spend effort on me. I can assure you and your daughter’s well-being."
"Yes." Gong Xueyan lowered her head, silently clenching her fists.
Lu Jinxuan lowered his eyes and left.
Gong Xueyan was extremely annoyed; how could she have acted so foolishly!
But because of this, she became more convinced that this person was indeed Lu Jinxuan!
Back then, Lu Jinxuan was like this too, not allowing anyone to touch him except Yu Sangwan.
Actually, she wasn’t trying to do anything with Lu Jinxuan just now. She wasn’t that delusional... It’s just that she vaguely remembered that Lu Jinxuan always wore a walnut whistle around his neck!
Back in Donghua, they even had a dispute over this walnut whistle.
Gong Xueyan wrapped her arms around herself, pacing back and forth, "What should I do? He won’t let me get close... How can I confirm if he’s wearing it?"
In her view, this was the most direct and simple way to prove Lu Jinxuan’s identity!
As she hesitated, the phone rang again; it was Qin Shaoju calling.
"Hello!" Gong Xueyan growled, extremely impatient.
"Yo!" Qin Shaoju laughed, "So fierce? You’re really not polite to your old lover!"
"Qin Shaoju!" Gong Xueyan frowned, "There’s no use in forcing me like this! I still haven’t thought of a way!"
Qin Shaoju chuckled, "Oh? It sounds like you’re agreeing? That’s good! I only need this word from you, Gong Xueyan, remember... I’m waiting for your good news!"
After hanging up, Gong Xueyan was extremely restless, throwing the phone aside.
Her gaze fell on Susu, growing more and more filled with hatred... Why did she bring Susu back in the first place? This brat deserved to wander outside!
...
In the master bedroom bathroom, Lu Jinxuan stood under the showerhead.
As the warm water flowed down, he gently touched his neck.
It was empty...
"Hmph." Lu Jinxuan curved his lips into a smile. Finally, he couldn’t hold it back!
After the shower, Lu Jinxuan came out in a bathrobe. He walked to the compartment, bent down, pulled open a sliding door, and squatted down... inside was a safe.
Lu Jinxuan reached out, pressed the code... and the safe opened.
He took out a box from inside, opened it... there lay the walnut whistle!
"Heh!" Lu Jinxuan chuckled, what do people of this world think? That he got to this position by luck, or family background? Can’t say that’s entirely wrong, but... five years, could he really hold on without skills?
Squeezing his palm, Lu Jinxuan lowered his head and kissed the whistle.
"Taotao, you stay well, the kingdom and you... I want them all!"
When putting the box back, his hand trembled slightly.
"Ugh!"
Lu Jinxuan groaned softly, momentarily losing control.
He freed up another hand to get the medicine in his pocket. He quickly swallowed a pill and only then did he slowly calm down.
With that, Lu Jinxuan’s gaze darkened again... What to do? Can he still hold on?
Now, he can’t give up even more!
In Taotao’s belly, is their daughter! He wants to make up all he couldn’t give Xiaomantou to this child. He’s been absent from Xiaomantou’s life for five years; this daughter... he doesn’t want to neglect her too.
It seems some matters need to speed up.
Gong Xueyan, Qin Mengshu, it’s time.
Lu Jinxuan curved his lips, his expression only warming at the thought of Yu Sangwan. In the morning, when Gong Xueyan came down, Lu Jinxuan was still in the dining room.
She paused, as ordinarily, he would have already left by this time.
"Susu."
Lu Jinxuan put down the newspaper and waved at Susu, "Come, come over here."
"Daddy!" Susu cheered, jumping into Lu Jinxuan’s arms.
Lu Jinxuan looked at her, tenderness never reaching his eyes.
However, just such a gentle facade... made Gong Xueyan yearn; if it were true, how nice would it be to stay by his side forever?
Lu Jinxuan patted Susu’s head, "Mm, you’ve grown taller recently, Susu’s doing well... Keep it up, okay?"
"Mm!" Susu nodded repeatedly, "Daddy, are you having breakfast with Susu today?"
"Mm." Lu Jinxuan smiled slightly, instructing the butler, "Bring the young lady’s breakfast."
"Yes."
Lu Jinxuan looked up at Gong Xueyan, his gaze deep and inscrutable, his words equally mysterious.
"Xueyan, I’m busy with work, you need to take good care of Susu... I know Qin Mengshu isn’t very receptive to Susu. But my bottom line is here, no matter who it is, no one can harm Susu!"
"..." Gong Xueyan paused slightly, nodding, "Okay, I understand."
"Mm." Lu Jinxuan nodded, picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, "If Qin Mengshu comes, try your best to avoid her with Susu... If you can’t avoid it, don’t let the child be wronged, if there’s anything, I’ll handle it."
Gong Xueyan smiled slightly, "Mm, I’ll listen to you."
Lu Jinxuan stood up and left.
