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 look up and walked up the stairs.
Lu Boyan's frown grew even deeper. He said, "Su Jianan, come here!"
Su Jianan only looked at Lu Boyan then, and she asked confusedly, "Eh, did you call my name?"
"Go somewhere with me tomorrow," Lu Boyan said.
"No."
Su Jianan looked down and continued scrolling on her phone.
She was very tired after a day of work. She did not want to go anywhere but just stay at home to scroll on her phone and sleep.
Su Jianan might be the only one in this world who would dare to reject Lu Boyan without hesitating.
However, Lu Boyan did not grow angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "That's alright. I don't want to bring you anyway." He called Uncle Xu over and said, "Tell Old Madam that Young Madam doesn't want to go."
"This..." Uncle Xu looked awkward.
Su Jianan looked up suddenly and glared at Lu Boyan. "Auntie wants me to go? You don't want to take me either, why did you only say that I don't want to go? How treacherous!"
"Even though I don't want to, I still asked you. In the end, you rejected me. So shouldn't you bear full responsibility?"
Lu Boyan looked as if the matter did not concern him.
Su Jianan could not retort and could only grit her teeth and say, "I'll go!"
No matter how much she did not want to go with Lu Boyan, she would try her best to fulfill Tang Yulan's desires. This was her only way to repay Tang Yulan.
Lu Boyan's lips lifted and he said, "So obedient."
"..." Su Jianan scolded Lu Boyan in her heart ten thousand times.
At five in the afternoon on the second day, Su Jianan submitted an autopsy report and drove home. She was surprised to discover two young women in the living room.
She was startled and looked at Uncle Xu questioningly.
Uncle Xu smiled and said, "Young Madam, they are the stylist and makeup artist Old Madam hired. They will help you to prepare. Young Master should be home soon, and then, both of you can leave."
Su Jianan had not yet had the time to react before she was dragged to be styled and have her makeup done.
Lu Boyan only returned home when the sky grew dark. It was also at this time, when Su Jianan, who had her makeup done and had changed into an evening gown, descended from the stairs. The two met.
Su Jianan's makeup was light, and her features did not look much different from usual. She still looked innocent and harmless. However, she was no longer dressed in casual clothing. She had on a navy blue and extremely low cut long dress. Her black hair was also curled simply and elegantly. These changes gave her a more feminine vibe.
This was the first time Lu Boyan saw Su Jianan looking innocent and yet, having a charm unique to women.
The cut of the dress fit the curves of her body perfectly, and also showed off the delicate curves of her body. The off-shoulder design showed off her white and soft shoulders and her beautiful collar bone.
She stood on the stairs and looked silent and dignified. Her almond eyes shone with life, attracting the attention of others.
Lu Boyan could not deny that he was startled for a few seconds. His heart seemed to have fluttered...
Su Jianan had not noticed Lu Boyan's reaction at all. She touched her dress uncomfortably and asked awkwardly, "When do we leave?"
Lu Boyan steeled himself and said, "In 15 minutes." Then, he went upstairs to get changed.
Su Jianan walked to the living room and sat down at the sofa. Uncle Xu gave her a glass of lemon water and said, "Young Madam, you look beautiful wearing a dress."
"Thank you." Su Jianan accepted the lemon water and could not help but think of her mother.
Before she turned 15, she was like many other girls, owning a wardrobe full of dresses. They were all bought for her by her mother. Her mother said that she wanted to dress Jianan up as beautiful as a princess.
After her mother passed away, no one had bought her clothes for a long while. She wore her school uniform all year round. When she grew older, she could buy clothes for herself. Yet, she always ignored dresses subconsciously. The beautiful dresses in the shops did not look as beautiful as the dresses she remembered that her mother bought for her. Now that she was working, she could not wear dresses because of her job, so she wore casual clothing all year round.
Su Jianan stopped herself from thinking further. She drank half a glass of lemon water and then heard Lu Boyan's voice. "Get up and follow me."
She looked at Lu Boyan subconsciously, stunned.
He was dressed in an expensive bespoke suit. The fitting cut made him look exceptionally handsome. What was different was that he was wearing a three-piece suit this time. The dark black of the suit was like his eyes. They were unfathomable, and yet, it could not stop him from emanating a sense of elegant nobility.
This man was really capable of charming others to death. Women would all fall in love with him.
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
It was true that Su Jianan did fall asleep, but it was just a light one. It was not long before she felt that the car had stopped. She also opened her eyes. As expected, she was home. Uncle Xu was holding a pair of shoes and waited outside the car door. She pushed the car door open. Uncle Xu laid down the pair of shoes and said, "Young Madam, are you alright? Oh, yes, Mr. Su is here." "My brother!?" Su Jianan smiled brightly out of surprise, "of course I am fine!" She put on her shoes and ran into the room, without paying any attention to Lu Boyan who was behind her. Uncle Xu sighed sadly, "Young Master, it seems that when it comes to impact on Young Madam, you cannot beat Mr. Su." Lu Boyan got down from the car with a sullen look. By contrast, Su Jianan was much happier. "Brother!" As soon as Su Jianan saw Su Yicheng, she just ran at him and bumped into Su Yicheng's arms all of a sudden.
Lu Boyan's residence. Su Jianan had tried over ten different sleep postures and had made over ten attempts at summoning any somnolence she thought she had in her, but still, sleep eluded her. Usually, she would fall asleep the moment she hit the sack. But tonight, thoughts of Lu Boyan's bridal carry preoccupied her mind. The way his strong hands felt when they were pressed against her skin, his body heat, the warmth of his firm pectorals, the sharp contours of his handsome face... Oh, it was as if she was back in his arms again, reliving the same experience, seeing and feeling everything clearly. Her pulse began to race... "Hey, you'd left Lu Boyan's embrace ages ago, okay! Just stop this! Argh!" she thought. Usually, Su Jianan had better self-control than that. But this time, stopping herself really did seem like a lost cause, so she got out of bed and left her bedroom. She needed a drink to calm herself! Su Jianan noticed
