At night, in the Orchid Gardens.
Tang Yulan sat on an antique European sofa, with a throw over her. She drank her tea while asking on the telephone, "Old Xu, how are things between Boyan and Jianan?"
Tang Yulan knew that Su Jianan and Lu Boyan did not have any relationship foundation before they got married in a hurry. They would definitely not be as loving as regular husband and wife.
However, a relationship could be cultivated slowly. She was afraid that the two would live like housemates after marriage, so she had asked Uncle Xu to take note and to call her immediately if anything happened.
Lu Boyan had long instructed Uncle Xu before, so Uncle Xu naturally only reported the good things and not the bad. He said, "Old Madam, Young Master and Young Madam are doing very well. Young Master brought Young Madam back to her home today and both of them are now resting at home."
Tang Yulan smiled and said, "Then I can rest assured for now. Oh right, Old Xu, help me to do something..."
Uncle Xu listened to Tang Yulan's instructions and sweated buckets of cold sweat. "Madam, if Young Master discovers this, I... I'll be sent to Africa! Madam, I think we better not?"
"What are you afraid of? There's still me! If Boyan finds out about it, just say that I instructed you to do it! He won't send you to Africa. Do it with a peace of mind."
Uncle Xu gritted his teeth, and then threw caution to the wind and said, "Alright!"
Tang Yulan only hung up in contentment then. She took another sip of tea happily and said, "There will be news to watch tomorrow. I can sleep well tonight."
The next day.
Su Jianan's leave ended today. She had lost the freedom to have a lie in and crawled out of bed hurriedly the moment her alarm rang at 7.
She left her room after washing up and changing her clothes. She did not think that she would see Lu Boyan walking towards her.
The fitted white shirt and black trousers showed off his tall and straight figure. His jacket was hung casually over his arms. It was an action anyone could do, but he made it look casual and lazy, making him look even more noble and elegant, attracting attention unconsciously.
How enchanting, he's real trouble!
Su Jianan pretended not to see Lu Boyan and ran downstairs to eat breakfast.
The breakfast today was in eastern style. The sliced fish porridge was delicious, and the soup dumplings were flavorful. Su Jianan enjoyed it immensely.
Uncle Xu brought over two sets of newspapers. He placed one beside Lu Boyan and asked Su Jianan, Young Madam, do you want to read the newspaper?"
"No," Su Jianan was more interested in the soup dumplings.
Uncle Xu still placed the newspaper beside Su Jianan and said, "There's gossip about Young Master and you. Do you really not wish to read it?"
Indeed, Su Jianan immediately put down her spoon and read the headlines. She was shocked.
"CEO of Lu Enterprises married in secret!"
The news of her marriage with Lu Boyan had been leaked.
However, the paparazzi had not dug deep. They could only ascertain that Lu Boyan had gotten married and that the bride was not his long-time rumored girlfriend, Han Ruoxi, but was someone else. As for who the bride was, the media had not yet found out.
Su Jianan secretly felt paranoid. If they found out that she was the one who had married Lu Boyan... Wouldn't she be stuck at home in the future? Han Ruoxi's fans would kill her!
Lu Boyan, however, was calm and peaceful. He put down the newspaper as if he had not seen anything and slowly ate his breakfast.
Uncle Xu asked, "Young Master, do you want to check who leaked the news? Or warn this newspaper?"
"No need."
He knew clearly what had happened.
Uncle Xu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Alright. Please enjoy your meal. I will go and do the accounting for last month's bills."
Su Jianan felt a little uneasy. She asked, "Lu Boyan, what if the paparazzi find out that we got married?"
"Are you afraid?" Lu Boyan asked.
"Of course I'm afraid. I'm most afraid of trouble. Furthermore, I'll become the main target for extortion in the office in the future!"
That would be too miserable. Su Jianan would rather die than let such a tragedy happen.
Lu Boyan's lips curled as he said, "Relax, she won't allow them to find out about you for now."
"Eh? What does that mean?"
Lu Boyan was not interested in answering Su Jianan.
Su Jianan tsked, and then, stubbornly did not ask anymore. She continued perusing the other news in the entertainment section and was surprised to find an article about Han Ruoxi below the one of Lu Boyan's marriage.
"Han Ruoxi drunk at night club. Possibly due to heartbreak!"
Han Ruoxi had been proud and confident all this while. But this time, she had been captured by the paparazzi drunk and unconscious. There were obvious tear tracks on her face and her hair was terribly messy. She looked miserable, and the entertainment reporters all guessed that she was so sad because of Lu Boyan's marriage.
Lu Boyan's heart would ache for her, right?
Su Jianan secretly looked at Lu Boyan, but his expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.
Did he not see the news report about Han Ruoxi, or was he really unfeeling?
However, Su Jianan was not very interested in finding out.
After breakfast, Su Jianan suddenly discovered that she did not have a car. Going to work became a problem. After some thought, she asked Uncle Xu for help, "Uncle Xu, can you arrange for the driver to send me?" "The driver sent the helper to buy groceries early in the morning." Uncle Xu glanced at Lu Boyan and continued, "Young Master, why are you not sending Young Madam?" "I don't want him to send me!" Lu Boyan was too high profile. If she took a ride from him in his car to the police station... the consequences would be too terrible to imagine! This was the first time Lu Boyan had been regarded with contempt. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't want me to send you? Then you can only take a ride in my car." Lu Boyan put on his jacket elegantly and left. "Uncle Xu, what does he mean?" Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan's retreating back confusedly. "It mea
Lu Boyan received a call from Tang Yulan the moment he returned home at night. "I know where you are going tonight. Bring your wife along." Tang Yulan ordered in gentle yet unyielding tones. Lu Boyan frowned and said, "Mom, she would not want to go to such a place." "Is it you who do not want to let her go, or does Jianan not want to go? Don't think that I don't know, Han Ruoxi will be there tomorrow!" Tang Yulan said in a tone that bore no arguments. "Anyway, you have to let everyone know tomorrow, that Jianan is the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family. I don't believe that that old fox Su Hongyuan will dare to have any ideas then." Lu Boyan frowned slightly and sat on the sofa in the living room. "Alright, I will take her with me." Just then, Su Jianan entered while scrolling on her mobile. Lu Boyan hung up and said, "Come here." "..." Su Jianan did not even l
Su Jianan did not hide her fascination and surprise. Lu Boyan felt for the first time, a sense of accomplishment in his appearance. He walked up to her confidently and asked in an attractive voice, "Do you think that your husband is very handsome?" Su Jianan nodded. She looked at Lu Boyan sincerely and said, "That's right, it's like you've got a special skill. Extremely! Handsome!" Lu Boyan caressed Su Jianan's head with satisfaction. Just as he wanted to praise her for being obedient, she suddenly said seriously, "But you have to be this handsome to be worthy of me!" Then, she smiled proudly and ran out of the door. Lu Boyan gritted his teeth. Damned chit! Su Jianan only knew that Lu Boyan was taking her to a party when they arrived at the hotel. She had never appeared at such a place ever since her mother passed away. She felt rather awkward and said, "Lu Boyan, can I go home now?" &quo
Just as Su Jianan was worrying about it, Lu Boyan appeared beside her without any warning. She was shocked and asked, "What are you doing here?" Lu Boyan's handsome brows frowned slightly and he asked, "Should I not be here?" Su Jianan pointed at the entrance and replied. "I heard your girlfriend is coming soon, aren't you going to meet her secretly?" Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes and suddenly flicked his finger on Su Jianan's forehead. "Ouch—" Su Jianan held her forehead and looked at Lu Boyan incredulously. "That hurt!" "Hurting's right." Lu Boyan said nonchalantly. "Come with me." Su Jianan pouted and held Lu Boyan's hand unwillingly. Just then, Chen Xuanxuan walked toward Su Jianan. She scanned Su Jianan from head to toe with a proud and picky gaze. Then, she said, "Brother Boyan, is this your wife? I heard Auntie Tang say that she's a medical examiner?"
Han Ruoxi walked toward Su Jianan watched by everyone. Her powerful aura seemed natural. And the sounds of her clicking heels were threatening. Su Jianan could feel it- If Han Ruoxi were really a monster in a game, then she would be the final boss. Everyone could not help but focus on them. They wanted to see how the drama between the rumored girlfriend and the wife would play out. Han Ruoxi took off her Prada shades with well-manicured fingers, revealing her exquisite features. Those who were seeing her in real life would be hard pressed not to be shocked. Her features looked as if God had made them according to the golden ratio. They were so perfect that those looking would forget to breathe. Tang Yulan had once told Lu Boyan and the "wedding banquet" that Su Jianan had grown more beautiful. Then, Lu Boyan's reaction had been so bland it was as if he was drinking plain water. Su Jianan now understood. Compared to someone o
Su Jianan hated it when others touched her. She stomped on Shao Mingzhong's foot with her delicate heels that moved swiftly and said, "Don't. Touch. Me!" She had actually been very forceful. Shao Mingzhong felt an intense pain but did not yell out in pain in order to save himself from embarrassment. He could only hold it in until his features beneath his mask were all twisted. His blade slid across Su Jianan's throat and he said, "Do you want to die?" "Calm down. What can you use to threaten Lu Boyan if I die?" Su Jianan smiled lightly. She moved her hand which was by her side... The kidnapper was speechless. He could only yell at Lu Boyan once more, "Lu Boyan, I'll give you five minutes. Make a choice!" Lu Boyan stared at Su Jianan deeply. Everyone thought that he would choose Su Jianan. "Let Ruoxi go." Many people doubted their own ears when they heard his answer. However, Han Ruoxi
And just like this, the role of the Brothers of Shao and Su Jianan switched. They were tied up and laid on the ground while Su Jianan sat on the sofa comfortably. The two brothers could only stare at her. "I know you guys won't take going bankrupt going down." Su Jianan walked toward them. "But you shouldn't have kidnapped me, who had no grievances with you. Since you have been so heartless to me, then I can only return the favor." She shrugged, looking innocent. Shao Mingzhong could only accept his fate helplessly. "We admit defeat. Let us go. I will send you home, and let's wipe the slate clean, alright?" "It seems like I'm in charge now?" Su Jianan smiled. Then, she shook her head. "I feel that letting you guys go to prison for a few years would be better. Wait patiently. The police will come to fetch you soon." She clapped her hands and then stood up. She looked at the shoes she used to kick Sha
Lu Boyan was also being tested. The one in his arms was beautifully delicate and frail. With her drawing closer, all he smelled and sensed was the fragrance of camellia exuding from her body. What killed him the most was that his hand had touched her skin without any obstruction. And the sense of touch was as good as always. A soft and warm body filled his arms. Her exquisite and beautiful curve was within his reach... It just happened that her two brushes of fanny eyelashes were blinking over and over, her pair of peachy eyes, which should have been flirty, were as clear as the stream in deep mountains, which made people could not have the heart to hold any vicious thoughts towards her. Never had Lu Boyan struggled like this before. Moreover, never had he strived so strenuously that he was finally able to refrain himself from thinking about those messy things. While down below the apartment building, without anything to do, Shen Yuechuan was chatting wit
