Su Jianan had no mood to think that Lu Boyan was her husband. She only wanted to withdraw every single word that she had said, and bite off her tongue.
Lu Boyan darkened his face and said, "Su Jianan, come here."
Luo Xiaoxi was immediately overwhelmed by Lu Boyan's face and aura.
"He is so cool and handsome!"
Enchanted by his handsome face, Luo Xiaoxi forgot that Su Jianan was her friend and pushed her to him while saying, "Go there, your husband is calling you."
"Ah..."
Before she could react, Su Jianan lost her balance and bumped into Lu Boyan's arms.
The fragrance on him smelled good.
Su Jianan's body was so close to Lu Boyan's, and he smelled her fragrance at once.
He felt as if something was tickling his heart, which beat quickly at the moment. He never had such a feeling before...
He frowned even harder and helped Su Jianan find her balance, avoiding her from getting close.
Su Jianan found her balance in embarrassment and forced two words out of her mouth. "Thank you."
Lu Boyan replied coldly, "Go back with me."
Su Jianan shook her head with a terrified expression. She could not tell whether Lu Boyan was angry at her or not and did not know what he would do.
Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes. "So, you want to continue on talking with this man here?"
Su Jianan wanted to die—he indeed heard everything.
"It's a mistake." Luo Xiaoxi immediately explained. "Jianan didn't expect to chat with Zhao Ran here. I arranged this. She said she didn't know how to get familiar with you, so, I found Zhao Ran to let her gain experience. She has no other interest in Zhao Ran."
"Luo Xiaoxi, stop."
Su Jianan glared at Luo Xiaoxi. "You're really as stupid as a goose. How could you tell him such a shameful thing?"
"What? I'm telling the truth." Luo Xiaoxi looked at Lu Boyan with a complaisant smile and said, "Jianan just said that she would never do anything wrong to you. You heard it, didn't you?"
"..." "Luo Xiaoxi, you're even stupider than a goose." Su Jianan thought.
Right then, Zhao Ran came back from the bathroom.
After he calmed down, he realized that he loved Su Jianan and did not care she was a medical examiner. He just had not expected it.
He came back happily only to encounter Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan. After a moment of shock, he asked, "Jianan, what... happened?" Lu Boyan looked familiar to him.
"He just called her 'Jianan'?"
A sharp light flashed through the depth of Lu Boyan's eyes.
He pulled Su Jianan to his side, arms around her waist as if he was telling that she was his. He looked at Zhao Ran coldly and asked, "You know my wife?"
What a strong aura!
Zhao Ran recognized Lu Boyan at once, his forehead covered with sweats. "Mr. Lu, sorry, I've mistaken your wife for someone else. I'll go right now and leave you alone."
Zhao Ran was more panic than surprised when knowing that Su Jianan had married Lu Boyan. He dared not to have any design on her anymore for the rest of his life unless he wanted to be marked for death.
Lu Boyan won the battle with a single move.
Luo Xiaoxi was enchanted by him again, looking as if there would be pink bubbles flying out of her eyes. "He is really cool."
Su Jianan did not want to talk to the stupid Luo Xiaoxi anymore. She struggled against Lu Boyan and said, "Lu Boyan, let me go."
It was late spring, so, she was thinly clad. Lu Boyan felt as if he was fondling her waist as she struggled.
"It felt so damn good!"
He tightened his arms around her waist and said in an ambiguous tone, "How do you want to learn to get familiar with men? Go home with me and I can teach you."
After saying this, he headed out while dragging her with him.
Su Jianan looked back subconsciously. "Luo Xiaoxi..." She was begging her for help.
Luo Xiaoxi waved her hands as if she had not heard her. "Go back to gain experience. Goodbye!"
Lu Boyan's car was parked at the entrance of the bar. He wrenched the door open and pushed her in.
Su Jianan took out the key of the car quickly and forced a smile. "I drove your car here and can drive it back myself."
Lu Boyan smirked and looked gentle.
"How can you get familiar with me if you drive back alone?"
Su Jianan's hand that held the key was frozen in the air, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
Lu Boyan looked strange when he tried to be gentle, which only scared Su Jianan.
Lu Boyan seized the key from Su Jianan's hands and threw it backward. He pushed her to the passenger's seat and shut the door. His movements were smooth and made him look handsome.
Su Jianan pressed her face against the car window, wanting to know where Lu Boyan had thrown the key to. Finally, she found it in a man's hand.
Shen Yuechuan waved the key in his hands at her and mouthed to her. "I got the car. Be assured and just go home."
"..." Su Jianan had no excuse to get off now.
Lu Boyan sat down at the driver's seat and started driving his eye-catching Aston Martin ONE77 towards Dingya Villas.
In the bar left behind them, Luo Xiaoxi was drunk on the aftertaste of Lu Boyan's handsome appearance and cool manner. Then, she caught the sight of Su Yicheng accidentally.
The man sat by the counter with a glass of green wine at hand. The lamplight of the bar ran across his chiseled face, making him even more charming than in the daylight.
Luo Xiaoxi was caught by joy, standing up, about to rush to him, but suddenly—
"Yicheng." A woman who dressed in a Dior suit yet looked gorgeous appeared and held his hands intimately. She fondled his chest with her soft hands, flirting with him while whispering to him.
Luo Xiaoxi could not hear what they were talking about, but, judging from Su Yicheng's lifted mouth corner and the soft line of his eyebrows, she could tell that he liked the woman very much.
His ex-girlfriends were all the women who could be domineering at their workplace when putting on their suits and could be elegant ladies when taking the suits off. They could play the piano, appreciate wine, and be a good talker. When they were in bed, they would show a sexy and charming side of them.
Luo Xiaoxi knew that she would never grow into such a woman.
"Xiaoxi." Qin Wei went back and reached out his hands to her. "Shall we continue dancing?"
"Of course!"
She wore a charming smile as she held his hands and stepped onto the dancing floor with him. They started dancing with the rhythm crazily, close to each other.
Sometimes, she would catch a glimpse of Su Yicheng's eyes, but, in them, she only saw his disgust that she was familiar with.
Having been looked at by him in this way many times, Luo Xiaoxi no longer felt sad, and instead, she smiled. She danced even more crazily and did not resist Qin Wei's arms around her waist.
Qin Wei thought that his sexy prey had taken his bait, so, he hugged her closer and asked, "Can I bring you to my home tonight?"
Luo Xiaoxi broke free from Qin Wei's hands swiftly. Qin Wei was a little disappointed, however, she then took his hands again and said, "Let's go your home."
Qin Wei looked cheerful and headed out the bar with Luo Xiaoxi in hurry.
The customers in the bar would see many strangers fall in love and left there together every day, so, they got used of this kind of things and just whistled to Qin Wei in an ambiguous way.
Among all the people in the bar, only one man looked furious at the scene. He crumbled the glass in his hands.
"Yicheng!" The woman took the man's hands to check and asked, "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine." Su Yicheng jumped off the barstool. "Sorry, I gotta to go now."
At this moment, Luo Xiaoxi almost arrived at the parking lot and had been laughing madly since they exited the bar. Her laughter echoed under the yellow street lamps, from which Qin Wei finally noticed her odd behaviors.
"You know what, it was always me that watched him leave the bar with girls. Today, I finally could leave before him." Luo Xiaoxi raised her palm toward Qin Wei excitedly. "Give me five!"
Qin Wei reached out his hands, and with a clapping sound, Luo Xiaoxi gave him a high-five, which caused him to grimace in pain. "F*ck, you are so thin, how could you possess so much strength?"
Luo Xiaoxi showed a silly smile. Her long eyelashes curled naturally, making her beautiful eyes even brighter. Her pink lips were in an arc like a moon. Qin Wei admired her in secret. "She looks even more beautiful as I stare at her longer."
"Where do you live? I can drive you home." he asked.
"You don't want to take me to your home anymore?" Luo Xiaoxi asked with a smile.
Thinking of her strength, Qin Wei shivered. He was amused and answered, "Don't pretend that you have lots of experiences in one-night stands. Listen to me, go to the bars as less as you can. You're not one of us."
"You're a real pal!" Luo Xiaoxi patted Qin Wei's shoulders and continued, "I must make you my friends. Let me treat you a supper."
In fact, she had planned that if Qin Wei really dared to take her to his home, she would cripple him. She had left the bar with him just because she wanted Su Yicheng to see it. He hated her no matter what she did.
She had not expected Qin Wei to be an upright gentleman.
Qin Wei thought it was not bad to lose a shtup buddy but win back a supper. He opened the door of his car and gestured at her asking her to get in.
Su Yicheng came to the parking lot to get his car and saw Luo Xiaoxi climb into a man's car with a smile.
He smiled coldly and drove home.
Compared with the joyful flirting between Qin Wei and Luo Xiaoxi, Lu Boyan and Su Jianan appeared quiet. They kept silent all the way home. Uncle Xu was surprised and pleased to see Lu Boyan and Su Jianan returning together. But when he took a careful look at them, their expressions seemed out of sorts. He seemed to have understood something and signaled for the other servants to leave. Then, he walked to the garden silently. Only Lu Boyan and Su Jianan were left in the large living room. "Su Jianan," Lu Boyan said, with a flicker of displeasure on his frosty face, "Why were you in that sort of place?" What right did he have to question her like this? They were married in name only, and Lu Boyan had said this himself! Su Jianan retorted with full confidence, "Weren't you in that sort place just now as well?" "I went there for business. And, Mrs. Lu, I didn't talk to the opposite sex as cheerfully as
Occasionally, Su Jianan was willing to return to this home because she could still find traces of her mother's life in the room where she had lived. But they could only be found in this room. As soon as Jiang Xueli entered the house nine years ago, she changed the furniture and every decoration her mother bought. Fifteen-year-old Su Jianan stubbornly guarded the room, refusing to let anyone touch anything in it. As a result, Jiang Xueli slapped her in the face and she unceremoniously bit Jiang Xueli's arm, leaving a bruise on it. At last, Su Hongyuan compromised and moved to another room with Jiang Xueli. And this room was retained. Back in the room, Su Jianan felt her mother still by her side. It seemed that as long as she stretched out her hand, it would be held by her mother's soft and warm hands. But the dusty furniture told her cruelly that she had lost her mother for a long, long time. Su Jianan rolled up her sleeves and fetched a basin of cl
Downstairs, lunch had already been served courtesy of Su Hongyuan's earlier instructions, and it was a feast. Lu Boyan led Su Jianan into the dining area. "Sit," Lu Boyan said, pulling a chair out for her as if it was the most natural thing to do. Huh? Is Lu Boyan serving her now? Su Jianan thought. In an instant, Su Jianan felt as if she had been granted a gratuitous service and decided to go along with it. Turning to Lu Boyan she plastered on a sweet smile, "Thank you, honey," she said, sitting down. Su Jianan took in the dishes that were laid out on the table. Deftly, she picked up a bowl and began filling it with duck soup. Once the bowl was filled, she placed it right in front of Lu Boyan. She smiled in a way that made her look like a subservient maidservant. "Drink the soup first," she said, "duck soup is very palatable. Try it." The truth was that there was nothing Lu Boyan hated more than duck soup. H
After lunch, Lu Boyan and Su Hongyuan sat in the tea room and drank tea while discussing business matters. Su Jianan folded her sleeves up in the living room and said, "Yuanyuan, sit on the sofa. Let me help you take a look and see what's wrong with your leg." "Su Jianan, I know you did it intentionally." Su Yuanyuan said in a low voice as she stared viciously at Su Jianan. She sat on the sofa. "I can also tell you clearly that my injury has long healed. My leg does not hurt at all." Su Jianan sneered. She had already seen through it when they were upstairs. Su Yuanyuan's leg was not injured at all. She had taken the trouble to act so realistically for a purpose. "I was only getting close to Lu Boyan," Su Yuanyuan continued, "every socialite in A City wants a man like this. Do you think he's yours once you get married? How naive! Such a man can have countless women in his entire life. He belongs to whomever who gets t
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 assure
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
