Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

On the way back, the couple had different thoughts. Lu's mother was a little down. She wanted to see her granddaughter every day, but that was impossible at the moment.

Mr. Lu glanced at his wife, who was in low spirits, and after much consideration, reminded her, "Don't interfere in our son's affairs anymore. Just kick him out. Mrs. Su is right. Our son is unstable, speaks incoherently, and is not stable in matters of the heart. He's always had scandals before, so it's understandable that his parents are worried. Let the young people handle their own affairs. If your son really likes a girl, he'll agree eventually if he pursues her sincerely. With his current carefree attitude, no girl will find him reliable. If he wants a wife, let him figure it out himself. We've done everything we can. We can't pursue a wife for him."

The attitude expressed in this table is clear!

Lu's mother fell silent, unsure of what to say for a moment. The usually talkative woman was speechless.

"Don't worry, the Su family didn't refuse us from seeing the child. You can't rush things. When it comes to matters of the heart, only your son can decide. The Su family's daughter is their precious jewel; she's not so easy to marry."

Your son will have a hard time getting past President Su.

Mrs. Lu sighed, feeling utterly disgusted with Lu Jinnan for being so useless, but in the end, she reluctantly nodded in agreement with Mr. Lu's words.

at the same time.

Su Xue had just come out of the operating room; she had delivered her first baby that morning and was in a good mood.

Su Xue is happiest and feels a great sense of accomplishment whenever her baby is born, crying loudly, and both the mother and child are healthy.

After washing her hands and taking off her clothes, Su Xue took her phone out of the closet and saw that there were five missed calls from her father. She figured it must be something urgent, so she immediately called back, "Dad."

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Su patiently spoke softly to his daughter, "Xue'er, I know about your situation, and your mother has already told me about Yueyue. I'm not calling to scold you. I want to tell you not to easily accept the father of your child just because you have one. Our Xue'er is destined to be a princess, and she needs a prince charming to pamper her in the future, you know? Even without the Lu family, our Yueyue is still a princess, and I can afford to raise her. Don't put any pressure on yourself when considering things. Follow your heart. If you really like the young master of the Lu family, I will respect your wishes, but only if he likes you more than you like him. You have to get past my hurdle, understand?"

Su Xue's face was already covered in tears. She held back her sobs, biting her lower lip tightly, and listened quietly to her father's words.

Knowing his daughter was listening, Su's father continued, "Xue'er, remember this: even if you never marry, Yueyue's father will never look down on you. Your mother is just stubborn but soft-hearted. If you are unhappy in your marriage, she would rather you stay at home for the rest of your life. She may complain, but she loves you in her heart."

Su Xue wiped away her tears, composed herself, and said in a slightly nasal voice, "I know, Daddy, I love you."

Hearing his daughter cry, Su's father felt heartbroken. "Don't cry. Your crying makes me feel uneasy. Focus on your work. Even if the sky falls, your dad and your brother will hold it up. It won't hit you."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Su regretted making that call to his daughter. He thought he shouldn't have called if he knew she would cry. He should have just talked to her properly when he got home that night.

Su Xue felt a little depressed, her eyes were sore, and she felt that she had let her father down. She thought about going to a coffee shop to buy a cup of coffee to adjust her mood.

After buying the coffee, she held it in both hands and sat blankly on the bench, lost in thought. She liked Lu Jinnan... She had never been in a relationship before, but she had watched a lot of TV dramas. She didn't dislike Lu Jinnan and found that she could indulge herself without restraint when she was with him.

A sudden male voice rang out, "What are you thinking about?" Lu Jinnan had been sitting next to her for almost 5 minutes, and this woman hadn't noticed at all, seemingly lost in thought.

Startled, Su Xue turned her head and looked at the injured man in surprise. His mouth was bruised and had a large crack. His bare arms were also covered with red marks, which were very glaring.

This looks really pitiful.

Noticing the woman's gaze, he pulled his sleeve down slightly to cover himself, and asked in a questioning tone, "Are you in a bad mood?"

He could tell from the start that the woman was in a low mood. He had originally intended to talk to her after being beaten by his mother, but after receiving his mother's message, he was filled with mixed feelings.

The video that Lu's mother sent to Lu Jinnan was one she had found online overnight. It was a short video edited by a female anchor to help people better understand the hardships women face during pregnancy. It was very touching.

Although the person in the video wasn't Su Xue, Lu Jinnan knew that it wasn't easy for this woman to have a daughter, so he forwarded the video to Ji Hancheng.

He did a good deed, not for any other reason than he genuinely felt that his sister-in-law must have had a tough time too.

His mindset changed when he faced Su Xue. When he saw the woman sitting there in a daze, her brows furrowed, clearly in a bad mood, he no longer had the intention to tease her. He only wanted to comfort her and even hug her.

He had previously boasted that he would make Su Xue fall for him, but now he's having the idea of ​​taking care of her...

Su Xue wanted to scold him for meddling, but seeing his face covered in injuries, she swallowed her words and blurted out, "You were in a fight?"

The atmosphere in this chat is a bit strange; it's the first time it's been so harmonious, and they're even showing concern for each other.

Lu Jinnan was also surprised that this woman would ask about his injury. The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, but the pain from the aggravated wound made him wince and curse Ji Hancheng, "Young Master Ji, that bastard really hit hard."

Hearing the noise, Su Xue was puzzled. Weren't they buddies? Why were they fighting so fiercely? Had they fallen out? "Did you two break up?" she asked with a hint of gossip.

Lu Jinnan leaned back in his chair with his hands spread wide, one hand resting on the back of Su Xue's chair. From a distance, the two appeared to be embracing each other from behind. "I'm keeping something from him, and he's beating me up to vent his anger. What's wrong with you?"

Su Xue didn't want to tell him what her father had talked about. Since she couldn't get any gossip, she didn't want to stay any longer. Just as she was about to get up, her wrist was grabbed, and she plopped back down on the stool. She turned around and glared angrily at Lu Jinnan, "What are you doing? Looking for a beating again?"

He rolled up his sleeves high, revealing red welts. He held her wrist with one hand and was about to lift the hem of her clothes with the other. Su Xue quickly grabbed his hand to stop him, "What kind of hooligan are you doing in broad daylight?"

Lu Jinnan was speechless. How could his image in her mind be so bad? "Big sister, I'm not being a pervert. Let me show you my injury."

Su Xue retorted, "Why are you showing me your injuries? I didn't do it. You got hit because you were being a smart aleck."

Lu Jinnan pinched the bridge of his nose, not continuing to lift his clothes. "It's what I wanted to show you, okay? Let's talk, alright?"

Su Xue swung her legs back and forth, her tone nonchalant, "What do we have to talk about?"

"What do you think? Are you really planning to deprive me of my right to be a father for life, or are you planning to find a stepfather for my daughter?"

Su Xue choked on her words, feeling slightly guilty, because she had considered finding a man who loved her and could accept her child.

Lu Jinnan began with the probing question: "Have you ever had a boyfriend?" Before Su Xue could answer, Lu Jinnan began answering his own question: "Since this is your first time, you probably haven't had one before. And I haven't either, so why don't we give it a try?"

She knew which "first time" Lu Jinnan was referring to, and her ears instantly turned red. This guy really had no sense of propriety; how could he talk about such explicit topics in the hospital?

"What do you mean 'let's give it a try'? Who are you going to compromise for? Who are you looking down on?"

"Do you really believe I've had many boyfriends before, Su Xiaoxue? Did you only date on a spiritual level, and then you saved your virginity for me?"

Su Xue knew he couldn't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth, so she angrily reached out and hit his arm repeatedly, hitting his wound. He winced in pain, but still endured it and didn't pull his arm away. "Are you venting now? If you are, let's continue talking. You're afraid of falling in love with me during the trial period, otherwise why don't you want to talk about it?" After eating hotpot last time, Lu Jinnan had a better understanding of Su Xue's personality. This woman couldn't resist being provoked, and once provoked, she would fall into his trap.

Sure enough, Su Xue immediately retorted, "Who's afraid of who? Who do you think you are? I thought you'd fall in love with me."

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Lu Jinnan grinned smugly and said, "Let's give it a try and see who loses first."

Su Xue said smugly, "I'm afraid you love me to the extreme..."

Before he could finish speaking, his lips were sealed by a soft kiss. He quickly withdrew, grinning smugly. "The right way to treat your girlfriend isn't your first kiss while you're sober, is it?"

Su Xue: "............" Stunned by the sudden kiss, her heart pounded wildly, and her cheeks flushed instantly.

Lu Jinnan stared blankly at the woman who hadn't recovered her senses, and for some reason found her rather cute. She was usually so stubborn, but this trick suited her perfectly, making her instantly deflated. "You're dumbfounded. Didn't you say you'd give it a try? Miss Su won't go back on her word, will she?"

Coming to her senses, Su Xue felt like she had been tricked and taken advantage of, but she couldn't back down. "Who's going back on their word? It's just a matter of who falls in love first. Let's give it a try."

In her moment of confusion, Su Xue also had her own considerations. She wasn't completely tricked by Lu Jinnan. Her first words were indeed a trick, but after being kissed, she found that she didn't have the urge to hit him or feel disgusted.

She was willing to have a talk with Lu Jinnan. If he liked her, all the better. If it really wasn't right, she could explain it to Little Strawberry when she grew up.

The two of them harbored different thoughts.

Thinking about it that way, I felt better. "I'm going to work now, so you can enjoy the scenery by yourself."

Lu Jinnan called out to her retreating figure, "Remove me from the blacklist. I'll pick you up for dinner tonight."

"No, I'm going home to take care of my daughter."

Is this supposed to be a relationship? Oh well, I guess I'll just have to deal with this girlfriend I tricked into marrying.

After Su Xue left, Lu Jinnan touched his lips, savoring the taste.

She got up, picked up her white suitcase, and headed towards the hotel near the hospital.
