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 Shao Mingzhong with and then frowned unhappily before throwing them into the bin. She then walked around in the old apartment barefooted.
It was getting late and she still had to work tomorrow. She had to go home. However, she did not have her phone. She had to find the brothers' phones to contact Luo Xiaoxi to come and save her.
But, she could not find them.
Su Jianan returned to the room angrily. She flounced down on the sofa and asked, "Can't you guys even afford to use mobile phones?"
"We only have the card left..." Shao Mingzhong said. "We sold our phones to eat and pay rent some time back."
Su Jianan slapped her forehead. "You guys were managers before this, and now you're in such a predicament. No wonder you hate Lu Boyan so much..."
She could absolutely not imagine that Lu Boyan was downstairs. She could not even imagine more so, that Shen Yuechuan was watching everything happening in the room through a pair of binoculars.
Shen Yuechuan had been sent to check out the situation and to find a point of attack. Instead, he saw Su Jianan tying the Brothers of Shao up. He ran down from the apartment opposite, suppressing his laughter as he told Lu Boyan, "Room three on the fifth floor. Just go straight up."
Lu Boyan frowned, "How's Su Jianan?"
Shen Yuechuan and the other team members who were known for their bravery all held back their laughter. Shen Yuechuan said, "You will know when you go up. Eh, I think I understand how sister-in-law could become a medical examiner. Indeed... she's extraordinary!"
Their reactions were weird.
Lu Boyan's frown grew even deeper. He entered the apartment without any hesitation. However, he had not imagined that he would see such a scene-
Su Jianan was sitting leisurely on the sofa with her legs crossed. She said, somewhat compassionately, "You guys must have had a difficult time after becoming bankrupt."
Shao Mingzhong, who had been tied up tightly, curled on the floor like a shrimp. He answered, "That's right. We didn't even know what fast food was growing up. But after becoming bankrupt, we had to harden our hearts just to buy pig trotters rice. Sob... Miss Su, we were wrong. Let us go. Can we just treat it as if this had not happened?"
"You two are indeed wrong. But... I cannot treat it as if this had not happened." Su Jianan got up smilingly. "Wait patiently. The police will be here for you soon. I shall go home now."
She walked out barefooted. She was shocked and gasped in surprise when she saw Lu Boyan standing at the door expressionlessly.
"What are you doing here?"
According to dramatic plotlines, Lu Boyan should be accompanying Han Ruoxi, who had been frightened. Meanwhile, she should be walking alone on the dark roads in the heavy downpour...
She was still wearing her gown from earlier. Her lines were beautiful and her collarbones were seductively bare. Her pale feet were bare and her curled hair was slightly messy. However, these all made her seem even sexier. The surprise made her mesmerizing almond-eyes widen, emphasizing on the shine in them. As a man, Lu Boyan knew clearly what kinds of thoughts such a woman would evoke in a man if she walked about in the countryside in the middle of the night.
As such, he looked down and asked, "Where are your shoes?"
"They're dirty. I threw them away." Su Jianan tilted her head confusedly. "How did you know I was brought here?"
Lu Boyan would not tell her that he had chased after her. Instead, he just said two words, "Go home."
"Ok." Su Jianan followed behind him.
The apartment was dirty and old. She was not wearing any shoes, so she took careful steps. She fell behind in a few steps.
It was even worse when she went down the stairs. It had rained in the countryside in the afternoon. The stairs were wet and slippery and also dirty. Su Jianan, who was a slight cleanliness freak wanted to cry as she walked down them.
If she had known it would be like this, she would have worn her shoes back before throwing them away, no matter which part of Shao Mingzhong those shoes have kicked. Sobs...
Lu Boyan had long sensed that Su Jianan had fallen behind. However, he had not imagined that she would walk just as slowly down the stairs. He turned around impatiently, only to discover that her face was so scrunched up, she looked like a Shar Pei. He frowned and then walked back.
Su Jianan asked in confusion, "Why did you come back?"
Suddenly, Lu Boyan carried her, bridal style.
Bridal, bridal carry...
It was as if she had been fed candy while being in a daze. When she finally reacted, the sweetness spread to all corners of her body.
Fortunately, Su Jianan came back to her senses a few seconds later. She struggled and said, "Lu Boyan, let me go. I... I can walk by myself."
Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes and carried her even more tightly. "Su Jianan, if you move any more, I'll throw you over my back!"
Su Jianan shivered when she thought of how it would look being carried over Lu Boyan's shoulders and settled down.
She could sense her abnormal heart rate.
This should be... the most intimate Lu Boyan and she has been. She felt as if she became very small and she could sense everything around her very clearly. This included her uneven breathing and heart rate. And also... the heat from Lu Boyan through his shirt.
Lu Boyan's body temperature was not high, but it seared her body.
She could see Lu Boyan's features clearly. She discovered that from this angle, his face looked so perfect, it was like a sculpture. He was extremely handsome.
His skin was paler than the average man. It was a healthy pale and was incredibly clean. It made one want to... kiss it.
Su Jianan knew what she wanted to do. She wanted Lu Boyan to throw her off the fifth floor.
However, being in such close contact with Lu Boyan was a test of one's willpower, alright?
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
As yet, Su Jianan and Lu Boyan had not even consummated their marriage. In fact, they had already agreed to a divorce, which would happen in two years' time. How on earth were they supposed to have kids? Also, this topic was... it was practically a test for how thick-faced she was! Su Jianan's face turned as red as a poppy and she suddenly grew fidgety. She did not have the courage to look at Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan. Lu Boyan admired Su Jianan's facial expressions with interest. "Wasn't she the one who'd demanded me to take my clothes off the night before we got married? Why is she blushing now?" he thought. But he could not deny that she looked more like a shy teenager when she was blushing. There was a flicker in her eyes, one that made her look like a deer caught in the headlights. It made him feel that... that he would be facing a total injustice if he did not at least try to tease her. He pulled Su Jianan into his arms affecti
Su Jianan was staring Lu Boyan and letting her imagination run wild, when Lu Boyan suddenly opened his eyes. Amid the night-time ambience, that danger and coldness in his long, narrow eyes were far more intense than they usually seemed. Startled, Su Jianan took a deep breath. Lu Boyan sneered. "If I'd intended to do something to you, do you think you'd still be standing over there?" "Then... then where would I be?" Su Jianan asked blankly. "The bed, of course." Lu Boyan's lips curved upwards, forming an evil grin. Another sound went off in her head. Something had exploded in her skull, causing Su Jianan's mind to go completely blank. Not because of what Lu Boyan had said, but because... because he knew exactly what she was afraid of! That was just pure evil... "Pass me the throw pillows on the couch," Lu Boyan said all of a sudden. "Oh." Obediently, Su Jianan did
The doxxing threat was no longer a cause for concern, so the following day, Su Jianan went to work as usual. What Su Jianan did not know was that Su Yuanyuan's hatred for her had reached its breaking point. When Su Jianan and Lu Boyan visited during their post-nuptial homecoming, Su Yuanyuan had intended to use her leg injury as an excuse to get closer to Lu Boyan. But what ended up happening was beyond her expectations. Instead of catching Lu Boyan's attention, she got sent to the hospital by Su Jianan. It was like trying to steal a chicken using rice as bait, but ended up having the bait stolen instead. Ever since that day, Su Yuanyuan had been plotting her revenge. Now, her opportunity had finally come. Countless of Han Ruoxi's retarded fans on the internet were looking for Su Jianan. So if she leaked Su Jianan's personal details onto the internet, it would eliminate the need for her to execute her revenge with her own two hands. There would be hordes
It was not until a while later that Su Jianan dropped off the phone. She drifted into the kitchen confusedly and took the food materials which would be utilized out from the refrigerator. Rolling her sleeves up, she began to deal with these food materials. Uncle Xu told Lu Boyan that Su Jianan was in the kitchen. He walked to the door of the kitchen questioningly and saw Su Jianan processing a chub. “Bang"! Beating the chub to faintness nimbly, she cleared off the scales carefully, cut open the side face and took out the visceral. Via a few cuts, she separated the head and the tail, also the fish bones and the fish flesh successfully. The entire set of motion was natural and spontaneous. It was possible that the fish-mongers in the market could not beat her when it came to the nimbleness. After that, she cut the fish flesh into the thin fillet, putting the left head, tail and fishbone into a small clean bowl for backup. From beginning to end, her sma
