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?"
"Jianan? You're Jianan, right?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice rang. Su Jianan looked over subconsciously and saw a good friend of her mother while she was still alive. She smiled and greeted the woman. "Auntie Chen, long time no see."
"Jianan, it's really you. I knew I didn't see wrongly!" Chen Lan held Su Jianan's hand agitatedly. "We never saw you again after your mother passed away. You used to be our happy pill. We all missed you very much!"
Su Jianan only smiled. Just then, Chen Lan's husband approached. He greeted Lu Boyan with familiarity. When he saw Lu Boyan and Su Jianan standing together, he asked in confusion, "Mr. Lu, this is?"
"My wife, Su Jianan." Lu Boyan wrapped his arm around Su Jianan's waist intimately and naturally just as before.
Chen Lan was completely floored. "Jianan, you're the one who married Mr. Lu? No wonder the media couldn't find out! Your mother can rest in peace knowing that there's such a good person looking after you."
Chen Lan's husband only reacted after a moment. "Su Jianan, the second young lady of the Su Family, Su Yicheng's little sister?" He smiled, and continued, "Mrs. Lu, you're considered a legendary character. My wife alone has mentioned you several times, much less others. I've heard about you for many years and have finally met you."
Su Jianan shook hands with Mr. Chen politely and then left with Lu Boyan.
Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Chen, everyone in the banquet hall knew that the mysterious second daughter of the Su Family was here. And she was here as Lu Boyan's wife.
After the news of Lu Boyan's marriage broke, everyone was guessing which daughter of a prominent family he had married since it was so mysterious and low-key. Not a single person had thought that it was the second daughter of the Su Family who rarely appeared at such social functions. The entire banquet hall was talking about it. Without long, Su Jianan became the focus of the hall, and several friends of her mother approached. She could not leave even if she wanted to.
Finally, no one approached, and Su Jianan heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she heard Lu Boyan speak in a teasing tone. "I didn't expect so many people to know you."
"They do not know me, they knew my mother." But her mother had passed away nine years ago. It was quite a feat for these people to still remember her.
When she thought of that, Su Jianan smiled and said, "My mother had always been sociable. These aunties like to take tea, chat and play cards with my mother. After some time, they treat me almost as if I were their daughter. But I didn't meet them again after I started university. I..." She suddenly regained her wits as she spoke. She glared at Lu Boyan and then continued, "Why am I telling you this?"
Lu Boyan was speechless.
Su Jianan turned around coolly. Then, she saw two familiar people entering the banquet hall.
Su Yicheng was starting his business when she attended university. She no longer took money from Su Hongyuan then. Most of her living expenses came from Su Yicheng. In order to lighten Su Yicheng's burden, she worked part-time when she was free.
She was rather lucky. She found a really good part-time job. She gave English tuition to a little boy in year six. Her hourly pay was three times that of her other classmates. The little boy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pang were very nice. They took care of her well, but they lost contact after she went abroad to study.
She had not expected to meet them here today!
Su Jianan went to them happily and greeted them. "Mr. Pang, Mrs. Pang!"
Mrs. Pang was startled and then she said, "Miss Su? You... I heard that Mr. Lu would come today. Did you come with him?"
"Eh, Mrs. Pang. How... how did you know?"
Su Jianan was confused. Mrs. Pang had just arrived. She shouldn't know that she was Lu Boyan's new bride. But how did she know that Su Jianan would come with Lu Boyan when she heard that Lu Boyan was coming?
Mrs. Pang was even more surprised that Su Jianan, "Could it be that Mr. Lu still hasn't told you about it?"
Su Jianan was speechless. What did Lu Boyan have to tell her?
Just then, Lu Boyan approached and greeted Mr. and Mrs. Pang with familiarity. Mrs. Pang held Su Jianan's hand smilingly and said, "It's great that you two are together."
"..." Su Jianan was confused. How did Mrs. Pang know?!
Mr. Pang wanted to greet other people and brought his wife along. Su Jianan said then, "Mrs. Pang's reaction... is so weird."
"Mrs. Pang is close to my mother. My mother might have told her that we were getting married." Lu Boyan said blandly, "You also tutored her son in the past. She just thinks that it's a coincidence. There's nothing weird about it."
Su Jianan thought about it and felt that this was also a possibility. As such, she did not continue thinking about it. She released Lu Boyan's hand and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
She had not expected to hear someone talking about her the moment she entered the restroom.
"Goodness, Lu Boyan married Su Yuanyuan's elder sister! Haha, Su Yuanyuan must be furious! But come to think of it, Su Jianan is really beautiful. It's lucky that she does not hang out with us. Otherwise, how pressured would we feel?"
"Han Ruoxi is just as good looking as her, but why did Lu Boyan choose her and give up on Han Ruoxi? Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi are the nation couple!"
"Just wait for them to divorce! I still think that Lu Boyan's true love is Han Ruoxi!"
When she heard that, Su Jianan walked into the restroom calmly. The voices weakened in a split second and a few young girls looked at her in shock.
She flipped on the tap and looked at the girls beside her through the mirror. "You guys are really worrying a lot about Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxuan. But, there's one thing that you guys got right."
With that, Su Jianan pulled a piece of tissue and dried her hands. Then, she left the restroom.
As for what the girls had gotten right, they could only guess.
Just after she returned to the banquet hall, Su Jianan felt a flurry of activity at the entrance. Then, a girl suddenly yelled shrilly.
"Ah! It's Chen Xuanxuan, Han Ruoxi's good friend. They usually appear together at these functions. That means that Han Ruoxi would come today!"
Han Ruoxi would come too?
Su Jianan zoned out for a moment. Then, her head suddenly hurt. She suddenly regretted coming to this place with Lu Boyan. Because of her, Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi cannot stand together, nor can they hug nor kiss. What a sin she's committed!
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
On the way to Orchid Gardens, Su Jianan was bubbling with excitement. "Lu Boyan, you must feel very happy to have a mother like Auntie Tang." That was one thing about Lu Boyan that she was most envious of. From the moment they got married until now, Su Jianan had kept addressing Tang Yulan as 'auntie' like she used to. But in truth, Tang Yulan was waiting for Su Jianan to start using a different honorific. Lu Boyan frowned. "Su Jianan, we're already married. My mother is your mother too," he reminded. To Su Jianan, who had lost her mother at the age of fifteen, maternal love was something extremely precious? Lu Boyan's words... was he expressing his willingness to share his mother's love with her? "Aww, Lu Boyan. I'm surprisingly touched by your words... Even if it's just for two years, I'll treat Auntie Tang like my own mother!" said Su Jianan sincerely. "Thank you!" "...&quo
