Love After Marriage - Chapter 169

Chapter 169 I Can’t Find a Sense of Security in You
“You–” Ji Baining was so angry that his entire body trembled. She looked at Tang Luoxin like a poisonous snake, wishing to swallow her into his stomach.

“What, you want to hit me?” Tang Luo’s beautiful face revealed a hint of disgust, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her voice had an unprecedented coldness.

At this moment, Tang Luo remembered a sentence. When you had enough confidence, it meant that your confidence had returned. At the same time, it was the people beside you who gave you enough sense of security.

Ji Baining originally wanted to ask Tang Luoxin why she wanted to contact Gu Zihao, but he didn’t want to do anything to her!

However, how did she know that it was this nonexistent matter that made Tang Luoxin feel more and more disappointed and desolate towards her.

When Ji Baining heard this, she didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, and her hands uncontrollably grabbed Tang Luoxin’s hair.

Even though Tang Luoxin’s Taekwondo wasn’t very good, she was more than enough to deal with an unarmed person like her.

She tilted her body slightly and Ji Baining jumped into the air. If it weren’t for the kindness of her classmates, she might have fallen to the ground because of her unbalanced body.

“Bitch–” Ji Baining saw Tang Luoxin dodge and stood up, raising his hand to slap her again.

“Who, who, who grabbed my hand?” Ji Baining felt that her hands couldn’t move. A trace of anger appeared on her face as she shouted. When she looked up at the people who had come, her face was incomparably pale.

Lu Jingnian’s well-knit hand tightly clasped onto Ji Baining’s hand. The cold light emitted from her phoenix eyes was like frost, and her entire body’s terrifying aura became denser and denser.

The onlookers retreated uncontrollably, afraid that they would suffer.

“Who allowed you to hit her?” Lu Jingnian looked at Ji Baining with ice-cold eyes. The corners of his lips curved into a cold arc, and his handsome face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice.

Tang Luoxin’s eyes flashed with surprise when she saw the man. Didn’t he go to the company? Why did he come here?

“I… I…” Ji Baining’s face was pale, the corners of his lips trembling incessantly, and his voice was somewhat incoherent.

A trace of disgust flashed across Lu Jingnian’s bloodthirsty gaze. His hand lightly loosened, and Ji Baining’s body softened, almost falling to the ground.

Tang Luoxin walked to Lu Jingnian’s side and held the man’s hand naturally. She smiled at him every day and asked, “Why are you here?”

“I just experienced this, so I came to the school to see if you were obedient and did any strenuous exercise!” Lu Jingnian changed the current coldness and revealed a gentle smile on her handsome face. She reached out to take care of the woman’s messy bangs and said with an unprecedented warmth.

This scene caused everyone’s heartbeats to quicken. Warm man, truly warm man!

A woman should find such a man to be her husband. Outside, she always had a poker face. At home, her eyes were filled with tenderness and doting.

This was the ideal husband for a woman!

Even if he worked outside, he wasn’t afraid that other women would lure him away!

Everyone looked at Tang Luoxin with envious gazes, not knowing what she had done in her previous life to find such a good husband!

“Nothing. Just as I was about to go to the bathroom, I met her. You know, I didn’t even speak loudly just now!” Tang Luo’s beautiful face revealed a smile, her eyes narrowed into a crack, like a crescent moon hanging in the sky.

When Lu Jingnian saw the smile on the woman’s face, waves of ripples splashed out from the depths of his heart. He extended his slender and fair hand to the tip of the woman’s nose and gently scratched it. “Be obedient, there’s a reward for returning home!” Lu Jingnian said.

Tang Luoxin’s eyes lit up as a silver bell-like voice slowly sounded in the air, “Really?”

The interaction between the two of them made Ji Baining jealous. She was clearly a destitute young miss, so why was her life better than hers?

Looking at Lu Jingnian’s pampering towards her, one could tell that she was living a very happy life!

Ji Baining hated Tang Luo’s heart. As long as Tang Luo’s heart was there, her light would always be concealed.

From the moment the two of them became good friends, she often followed behind Tang Luoxin. She sounded good, was a girlfriend, said unpleasantly, was a follower.

“En!” The man made a sound from his nose. He lowered his head to look at Ji Baining and asked, “What’s going on? She’s looking for trouble with you!”

“Yes, she said that I have been in contact with Gu Zihao, and that we are having an affair!” Tang Luoxin told Lu Jingnian everything that Ji Baining had just said without missing a single word. Her beautiful face had a smile but not a smile, and her voice carried a trace of a smile.

When the onlookers heard Tang Luoxin’s words, they all stared at her with wide eyes. They felt that it was so unbelievable. Wasn’t she afraid that Lu Jingnian would be jealous? Wasn’t she afraid that Lu Jingnian would get angry?

How could a wealthy and handsome man like Lu Jingnian endure such words!

They reached out and wiped the sweat off their foreheads, worried about Tang Luoxin.

However, when they heard Lu Jingnian’s words, they were so shocked that their jaws almost fell off.

“What? She actually said that? Can’t I compare to Gu Zihao?” Lu Jingnian’s long phoenix eyes were half-narrowed, half-lazy and half-dangerous. The corner of his lips curled into a sinister smile, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

As soon as he finished speaking, the onlookers’ lips twitched and their eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Boss, that’s not the point!

The point is, shouldn’t you ask Tang Luoxin if she has any ties with Gu Zihao?

“That’s what she thinks!” Seeing the cold air on the man’s face, Tang Luoxin’s lips curled up slightly. A smile flashed across her eyes as she shrugged her shoulders and said softly.

The implication was that it was none of her business. It was all Ji Baining’s fault!

“Speak–ugly woman!” Lu Jingnian’s expression was cold and fierce, and his gaze was deep and cold.

‘”Hiss–” Everyone heard Lu Jingnian call Ji Baining an ugly woman. They took a deep breath. How could he be ugly? He had an exquisite and mature face, an exquisite figure, and a good taste in clothes. No matter what, he didn’t look like an ugly woman!

Why did he arrive? Lu Jingnian’s eyes had actually turned into an ugly woman. How could the person concerned live!

Everyone’s gazes turned to Ji Baining. Sure enough, her complexion was blue and purple. The corners of her lips trembled slightly. Her hands clenched tightly into fists. With a’chuckle ‘sound, it was obvious that she was extremely angry.

‘”Say–” Lu Jingnian saw that Ji Baining did not react, and the cold aura became even more intense. Everyone could clearly feel that the air current in the sky was much colder.

“I, I, I…” Ji Baining felt Lu Jingnian’s powerful aura and stuttered.

Seeing the woman’s pale face, Lu Jingnian’s lips curled into a trace of disdain. Such a person was not worthy to lift Tang Luoxin’s shoes!

“Uncle-” Gu Zihao’s voice came from afar.

Everyone quickly made way for a path. Gu Zihao strode to Ji Baining’s side and whispered, “Why did you come to school?”

Ji Baining lowered his head, his hands constantly tugging at the corners of his clothes, tears flowing down uncontrollably, not saying a word.

Gu Zihao couldn’t help but be anxious when he saw that Ji Baining didn’t speak. Although his feelings for women weren’t as strong as before, the child in his stomach was his. This was a fact that couldn’t be ignored. Therefore, even if he didn’t like Ji Baining, he still had to patiently calm her emotions and wait for the child to be born.

From the looks of it, Gu Zihao was not so desperate as to be hopeless.

“Take care of your woman. Don’t be like a mad dog all day long. Bite whoever you catch!” Lu Jingnian’s cold gaze swept across the two of them, and a cold voice slowly sounded in the air.

‘”Hiss–” When the onlookers heard this, they almost shouted, too domineering!

After Lu Jingnian finished speaking, she held Tang Luoxin’s hand and walked forward.

Gu Zihao looked at their distant figures and his eyes flashed. Although he did not want to admit that the two of them looked so compatible, he had no choice but to admit that it was the truth!

Ji Baining saw that Gu Zihao’s gaze was always following Tang Luoxin’s figure. She stretched out her hand and forcefully pinched the man’s arm. “I knew you. You still have feelings for her. Do you still love her in your heart?” She cried.

“What are you talking about?” Gu Zihao hurriedly turned around and looked at Ji Baining, who was like a shrew, with anger.

“Still say no. Since you don’t have any, why are you always staring at her back? If not, why go to Jin Garden? If not, why should you inquire about her latest news?” Ji Baining looked at Gu Zihao sadly and asked several questions.

“Don’t make trouble for no reason, okay? You’re pregnant now, so you have to stabilize your mood!” Gu Zihao directly ignored those questions. He hugged the woman’s waist and tried his best to soften his voice.

“Oh-you mean I am your instrument of succession?” Ji Baining reached out and wiped the tears off his face. The corner of his lips curved into a mocking arc. He looked at the man with tears in his eyes and asked.

“When have I ever said such a thing?” Hearing this, Gu Zihao’s originally smiling face instantly darkened as he asked coldly.

“If that’s not the case, why don’t you ask me if your uncle bullied me?” Ji Baining asked.

“Did he bully you?” Gu Zihao asked.

“He scolded me!” When Ji Baining thought of Lu Jingnian’s unacceptable words, he felt as if he was crushing a rock in his heart, unable to breathe.

“What did I scold you for?” Gu Zihao’s face revealed a trace of surprise. In his impression, Lu Jingnian never scolded people easily.

“…” Ji Baining lowered his head and remained silent. How could she say such words?

When the onlookers heard their conversation, they couldn’t help but laugh. Gu Zihao looked at everyone and hurriedly walked towards the classroom as if nothing had happened.

Gu Zihao grabbed Ji Baining’s hand and walked to the first floor, “Why did you come to school?”

“Because I can’t see any sense of security in you. I always feel like you’re going to leave me at any moment!” Ji Baining wiped away the tears on his face, pulled away his other hand, and looked at Gu Zihao word by word.

“What are you talking about?” Gu Zihao’s heart skipped a beat as he asked.

“Isn’t that so? You have feelings for Tang Luo’s heart again!” Women’s intuition was the most accurate, especially pregnant women. She could sense Gu Zihao’s recent changes.

“Are you pregnant and stupid?” Gu Zihao reached out and touched Ji Baining’s forehead. A few black lines appeared on his handsome face as he asked.

Even if he had feelings for Tang Luo’s heart, he could only rot in his stomach and not tell anyone. He could only bear it silently. He was responsible for all of this!

“Look into my eyes!” Ji Baining did not believe that Gu Zihao had no feelings for Tang Luo.

Gu Zihao took a deep breath and stared fixedly at Ji Baining. The corners of his lips curled up as he slowly said, “The last time I went to Jin Garden, it was Grandpa’s order. It wasn’t what you thought!”

Gu Zihao was afraid that Ji Baining wouldn’t believe him, so he could only take out the old man to block it!

If not, when Ji Baining heard this, she tilted her eyebrows and asked, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true. There’s no need to lie to you. I thought you wouldn’t care. Since that’s the case, I’ll tell you wherever I go in the future!” Gu Zihao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Ji Baining’s expression was much more relaxed.

“This is what you said. You can’t see Tang Luoxin alone in the future!” When Ji Baining heard this, a smile appeared on his face. He held the man’s arm with both hands and said.

“Of course it’s true. Come, there’s a staircase ahead. Be careful, don’t fall!” Gu Zihao hurriedly supported Ji Baining as if he was a good husband, and he continued to speak with concern throughout the entire journey.

Seeing Gu Zihao’s performance, Ji Baining revealed a satisfied and happy expression. When she saw Lu Jingnian’s affectionate gaze towards Tang Luoxin, she was very envious and jealous. Now that she felt this ripple, she felt so happy.

After leaving the school gate, Gu Zihao hurriedly let go of Ji Baining and ran to open the car door. He helped her sit down and fastened her seat belt, “Be careful!” After he finished speaking, he kissed the woman’s smooth forehead.

As soon as Gu Zihao sat in the driver’s seat, he saw Lu Jingnian walking towards him, “Uncle–”

“You know I’m your uncle!” Lu Jingnian’s handsome face revealed a cold smile. Her thin lips curved into a cold arc of a meter, and an ice-cold voice slowly sounded in the air.

Gu Zihao lowered his head and didn’t say anything. He didn’t know what to say because he didn’t know what had happened!

However, based on his understanding of Tang Luoxin, she would not provoke anyone, which meant that Ji Baining must have caused trouble for Tang Luoxin!

He had heard from his grandfather that his uncle had decided that Tang Luoxin was the only one in his life.

“Both of you, remember, whoever dares to disturb Tang Luoxin in the future will bear the consequences!” Lu Jingnian’s cold eyes swept towards the two of them, and a chill that reached the bottom of their hearts rose up from their bodies.

“No, I will never look for her again!” Seeing that Lu Jingnian was angry, Gu Zihao hurriedly expressed his stance.

“The one beside him!” Lu Jingnian said calmly without any fluctuations in his cold eyes.

However, it was this calm that made the two people in the car feel scared.

“I won’t look for her!” Ji Baining lowered his head and looked at his feet, his hands constantly tugging at the corner of his clothes as he whispered.

In the past, she had heard other people’s evaluation of Lu Jingnian as not approaching femininity, iron-blooded wrist, cold-blooded and merciless. Whoever offended her, no matter if you were the Emperor or Lao Zi, you were still not afraid!

And today, he knew that he was even more terrifying than the legends had said!

Even if it was just a single glance, it would make people unable to breathe!

The corner of Lu Jingnian’s lips curled into a cold smile. He turned around and left. If he hadn’t just passed by this place, he would not have seen this scene if he wanted to surprise Tang Luoxin!

If he hadn’t come, what would that ugly woman have done to Tang Luoxin?

Everyone said that the IQ of a woman in love was zero, and this sentence was also very suitable for Lu Jingnian.

How could someone like Tang Luoxin, who dared to love and hate, be bullied by others at will!

Actually, their personalities were so similar!

If a person does not offend me, I will not offend him. If a person offends me, I will eliminate the roots!

Gu Zihao looked at Lu Jingnian’s back and tilted his head to look at Ji Baining. “Don’t provoke my uncle in the future. He’s even more terrifying than I imagined!”

Ji Baining nodded.

“No, you don’t know. Uncle used to work in the underworld. Even if he isn’t there now, he still has a group of brothers who are devastated by him!” Gu Zihao said.

When Ji Baining heard this, his face revealed a hint of surprise. This was the first time she had heard such a thing!

What she had heard the most was what kind of business Gu Zihao had, what kind of mind he had, how low-key he was, and how cold-blooded he was!

“I know, I won’t provoke Tang Luoxin in the future!” Ji Baining couldn’t help but tremble as he whispered.

Gu Zihao stared fixedly at Ji Baining and shook his head. He stepped on the accelerator and quickly drove forward.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Yu Shijia and Su Momo walked towards the school gate hand in hand.

“Hey, what time do you get off work?” Yu Shijia took out her phone and called Lu Jingnian.

“You go back first. There’s still a meeting to be held here!” Lu Jingnian’s voice came from over there.

“Oh, go pick me up at the orphanage after work!” Tang Luoxin said.

“Are you going to the orphanage?” On the other side of the phone, Lu Jingnian frowned. His handsome face was obviously unhappy.

“That’s right! I haven’t seen Little Hua and the others for a long time. I miss them so much. That’s it. Remember to pick me up after work. If you don’t pick me up, I won’t go home. I plan to stay there for the night!” Tang Luoxin’s eyes flashed a little, and the craftiness in her eyes flashed.

“Alright, I’ll pick you up after work. Be careful!” Lu Jingnian hurriedly said when she heard Tang Luoxin say that she didn’t speak at night.

“Motherf*cker, I love you!” Tang Luoxin’s delicate and beautiful face revealed a bright smile like sunshine, and a silver bell-like voice slowly sounded.

After Tang Luoxin hung up, Su Momo looked at her with a strange gaze. The corner of her lips twitched slightly and said, “I’m so numb. I wonder if Lu Jingnian can take it or not!”

“You don’t know that. When that man loves you, he wants to hear your nasty words!” Tang Luoxin looked at Su Momo as if she was an expert in love and smiled.

Su Momo looked at Tang Luoxin with an expression of disbelief. Why did she feel that it was not reliable at all?

“You can go to the orphanage by taxi. Didn’t you want to see those children?” As the two walked out of the school gate, Tang Luoxin reached out to stop a taxi.

An hour later, Tang Luoxin and Su Momo walked back and forth to the orphanage.

On the playground, Little Hua saw Tang Luoxin coming and hurriedly greeted her, saying, “Sister Luoxin, you’re here!”

Tang Luoxin squatted in front of Little Hua, reached out and scratched the tip of her small nose. She smiled and asked, “Did you miss Sister Luoxin?”

After she finished speaking, she wanted to pick up Little Hua, but she might have used too much force and pulled on the wound.

‘”Hiss–” Tang Luoxin hurriedly put Little Hua on the ground.

Little Hua couldn’t stand firmly and fell to the ground. The little fellow felt very wronged. Did Sister Luo Xin not like her anymore? Otherwise, why would she be thrown to the ground?

And this time, Sister Luo Xin came after a long time!

It was said that children were the most sensitive. As long as they felt that something was wrong, they would think that someone didn’t like them, or that they had done something wrong and made them angry!

“Is it a wound?” Su Momo hurriedly asked when she saw Tang Luoxin’s painful expression.

She looked at the surroundings and couldn’t care less. She lifted Tang Luoxin’s clothes and examined her wounds. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, there wasn’t any bleeding. Otherwise, you would feel better. I say, you know that you are injured, so why are you still using force?”

After a while, Tang Luoxin felt that the pain had disappeared. She looked at Su Momo and said, “I forgot!”

Su Momo heard these three words. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood that he could forget such a thing!

When Little Hua saw Tang Luoxin’s wound, a trace of fear and sadness appeared on her childish face. “Sister Luoxin, what’s wrong with you?”

The grievances that were thrown to the ground completely disappeared, and her eyes were filled with worry about Tang Luoxin.

“It’s fine. I’m fine. I just can’t do any strenuous exercise. I haven’t come to see you in the past few days because my sister underwent an operation!” Tang Luoxin shrugged and said calmly.

“Does it hurt?” Little Hua’s soft hand gently caressed Tang Luoxin’s wound and asked.

“It hurts when it comes to the wound. Isn’t it no different from normal?” Tang Luoxin looked down at Little Hua and said.

The little fellow’s round eyes flashed with tears, and she clenched her teeth to prevent herself from crying.

Tang Luoxin saw the little fellow’s expression of trying to hold back her tears, and her beautiful face revealed a smile. She reached out to rub her head and said, “It’s fine, big sister will recover soon!”

‘”Mm-” Little Hua looked up at Tang Luoxin and nodded heavily.

“Luo Xin, you’re here, haven’t you eaten yet?” The Principal walked out of the room, his eyes flashing with kindness as he walked over step by step.

“Yes, I came here just after school. Principal, do you have any dishes that I like to eat?” Tang Luoxin smiled and asked happily as her eyes narrowed into a crack.

“What do you like to eat? Tell the dean, I’ll make it for you right away!” The dean smiled.

“I like delicious food!” Tang Luoxin licked the corner of her lips and said.

“Greedy girl!” The dean’s aged voice carried traces of doting. She looked at Su Momo and asked, “You must be Momo, right?”

Su Momo’s face revealed a trace of surprise. The tip of her eyebrows slightly raised. How could the Principal recognize her?

Su Momo rubbed her face with both hands. Could it be that she had become famous recently?

When Tang Luoxin saw Su Momo’s movements, the corner of her lips twitched slightly. Even if the other party didn’t say anything, she could guess what Su Momo was thinking at this moment?

Tang Luoxin reached out and hit the back of Su Momo’s head, saying, “Wake up quickly, don’t dream anymore!”

Su Momo glared at Tang Luoxin, and then a smile appeared on her face. She said politely, “Hello, Director, I am Su Momo!”

“Mm, she’s really a good girl. I’ve heard Luo Xin often mention you!” The dean smiled.

So it was like this. She thought she was famous?

However, when she thought of the Principal’s words, Su Momo was deeply moved. It turned out that even if she didn’t see Luo Xin often, she still put herself in third place!

When the principal saw Tang Luoxin and Su Momo arrive, he cooked two more dishes. Although they were home-cooked dishes, he could feel the warmth of the atmosphere.

“Come, come, you’re welcome. Help yourself to whatever you want!” The Principal revealed a brilliant smile, as if the blooming golden chrysanthemum was intoxicating.

Tang Luoxin saw that the dean always helped her with the dishes, and her face revealed an embarrassed expression. She said, “Dean, let me do it myself!”

“Alright, let’s treat this as our home!” The dean’s eyes flashed with kindness and he nodded lightly.

When Lu Jingnian arrived at the orphanage, everyone had just eaten their fill and there wasn’t any food left on the table.
