Mr Fu, I Really Love You-Novel2

Chapter 1046: Have You Heard of Obtaining Others’ Sympathy by Acting Pitiful?

Lu Jinnan’s mind was filled with that line spoken by Bai Xiaonian…

“Okay then… since that’s the case, let me ask you in another capacity. As the wife of the Kaide Corporation’s president, Mr. Lu Jinnan, I’d like to ask the US government, what reason does the US government have to arrest my husband without sufficient evidence?”

Lu Jinnan’s heart pounded twice, warm blood gushing through his body…

The surveillance detected Lu Jinnan’s heartbeat. Jacksel heard his colleague’s voice over his ear mic. “His heartbeat quickened when he saw the video!”

“Mr. Lu, surely you wouldn’t want your wife to worry about you!” Jacksel smiled and said to Lu Jinnan before handing Lu Jinnan’s phone to him. “Call your wife! According to what I know, your wife is terribly anxious about you!” action

Lu Jinnan indeed couldn’t bear to see Bai Xiaonian anxious for him. He didn’t hesitate to take back his phone. He looked at Jacksel and said frankly, “You’re pretty good at making use of my weakness…”

Lu Jinnan knew very well that as he sat there, his brain activity and heart rate response were evident to the people behind the mirror, so he might as well say it.

He dialed Bai Xiaonian’s number and said to Jacksel concurrently, “I don’t have many strengths. My greatest strength is… being henpecked.”

Although Jacksel maintained a smile, he was speechless inside…

Being henpecked was a strength?

Jacksel was speechless.

The surveillance people saw that as Lu Jinnan put the phone to his ear, his heart rate was indeed gradually quickening.

Lu Jinnan felt like this was all a dream. Before he was arrested and taken to that place, Bai Xiaonian was threatening him to get a divorce. But now, she had admitted that she was his wife!

If he had known this would make Bai Xiaonian acknowledge her identity as his wife so quickly, Lu Jinnan wouldn’t have minded being captured earlier.

Bai Xiaonian picked up really quickly, bombarding him with questions the instant she did. “Lu Jinnan, are you able to make calls or able to come out? Not right, not right, since you can make a call, it must mean you’re out! Where are you now? Are you injured? Do you want me to pick you up?”

Lu Jinnan’s throat vibrated. “I’m fine…”

“Where are you?” Bai Xiaonian pressed.

Lu Jinnan could hear Bai Xiaonian grabbing her keys on the other end.

He could imagine Bai Xiaonian frantically changing her clothes and putting on her shoes while holding her phone in her other hand, then walking out after grabbing her keys off the top of the shoe cabinet.

Indeed, in the next moment, Lu Jinnan heard the sound of the door closing.

Since he was captured, he hadn’t taken a shower, and neither had he changed his clothes. Plus, there were injuries on him too. Lu Jinnan didn’t want Bai Xiaonian to see him in such a disheveled state.

“Don’t be so anxious to leave the house. I need to attend to some matters here. After I’m done, I’ll come to look for you!” Lu Jinnan said gently.

“Stop the nonsense. Where are you!” Bai Xiaonian pressed the elevator button anxiously. Because of her nervousness, her voice rose several pitches. Even Jacksel could hear the tigress-like sound made by the furious Bai Xiaonian.

No choice, Lu Jinnan was henpecked. He looked up and asked Jacksel, “Where?”

Jacksel was rendered speechless.

Henpecked indeed!

Without waiting for Jacksel to speak, Lu Jinnan handed him the phone. “You tell her…”

Jacksel told Bai Xiaonian the address, then handed the phone to Lu Jinnan. Lu Jinnan had wanted to take back his phone and continue speaking with Bai Xiaonian, but it turned out that Bai Xiaonian had hung up.

Lu Jinnan was speechless.

Jacksel moved the tablet away and asked, “Since you want to see your wife, do you want to take a shower, change your clothes, and attend to your wounds?”

Lu Jinnan narrowed his eyes. “Don’t think I have no idea what you’re up to. You’re afraid the reporters will see my injuries, right?”

“Surely, you wouldn’t want your wife to worry by seeing you in this state, right?” Jacksel placed the tablet on the table and crossed his arms. “It benefits both of us.”

“It benefits you and not me. The more pitiful I look, the more my wife will feel bad for me… and the easier my days will get in the future. Have you heard of obtaining others’ sympathy by acting pitiful?” Lu Jinnan said with a laugh.

Jacksel was rendered speechless.

“You’re trying to obtain your wife’s sympathy?” Jacksel frowned, perplexed.

“You don’t get it. This is called ‘keeping the romance alive’. Let me guess… you and your wife must lead a boring life!” Lu Jinnan was in an excellent mood right now, so his words weren’t wicked.

Lu Jinnan was in a great mood. He picked up the tablet Jacksel left on the table and opened it, watching the video of Bai Xiaonian repeatedly, feeling joyous.

Lu Jinnan was engrossed in watching it. He would even ask Jacksel, “My wife’s really dashing, huh!”

Jacksel was rendered speechless.

Your wife’s terrific, really terrific… only your wife! Amazing!

Forty minutes later, Bai Xiaonian arrived at the address Jacksel gave her. She got out of the car and anxiously jogged up the stairs, not caring about whether she was allowed to park by the roadside.

Jacksel personally walked Lu Jinnan to the door and said to him, “Don’t forget to inform the chairman of the Kaide Corporation…”

The light wind messed up the stray hairs on Lu Jinnan’s forehead. He turned and smiled at Jacksel. “Did Old Fu give you trouble?”

Jacksel raised a hand to scratch his nose. “Not quite…”

“Oh… since it’s not considered trouble, then I’ll get Old Fu to find you some trouble! That way, I’ll feel better.”

Jacksel said gloomily, “Mr. Lu…”

“I told you to get those people to come over and let me beat them up, but you played dirty and forced me to call my wife. This was really off-putting!”

Jacksel stared at Lu Jinnan in shock. Who forced him?

He clearly happily made that call himself, yet there he was, turning around to accuse him of forcing him?

Just then, Lu Jinnan saw Bai Xiaonian jogging up the stairs, panting. Lu Jinnan swallowed the words he wanted to say to Jacksel.

Staring at the figure running up the stairs, Lu Jinnan’s eyes grew hot.

He pursed his lips. He recalled how this girl he loved had, because of him, transformed into a warrior that, in order to rescue him, confronted the spokesperson of the US government. He couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with emotions.

Lu Jinnan’s throat vibrated. Before he was captured, this girl had quarreled with him and demanded a divorce, scolding him for being a liar and taking advantage of her while she was drunk.

But she came to rescue him anyway, in the capacity of Mrs. Lu…

Lu Jinnan knew that Bai Xiaonian must care about him!

“Lu Jinnan!” Bai Xiaonian shouted out to Lu Jinnan, who was standing at the entrance, and went running towards him.
