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 clear water, carefully sweeping the room.
Unconsciously, it was nearly noon. With Su Jianan did the cleaning, the dusty room became bright and clean.
Su Jianan felt better now. Walking out of the room, she happened to see Su Yuanyuan gallop past the door and stop in front of Lu Boyan, who had just gone upstairs.
"Brother-in-law!" Delicate naked makeup and well-arranged chestnut hair made Su Yuanyuan look particularly pure and charming. "I like the necklace you sent to me, thank you!" she said.
She stroked the expensive necklace around her neck and her joy almost spilt out of her bright smile.
Lu Boyan replied insipidly, "You're welcome."
"What are you doing up here? There's nothing to see on the second floor." Su Yuanyuan grasped Lu Boyan's arm involuntary and added, "Let's go downstairs together and let mom and dad look at the necklace you sent to me!"
Lu Boyan frowned and wanted to shake off Su Yuanyuan's hands. Su Yuanyuan, however, let out a cry and leaned against him, looking somewhat painful.
"Brother-in-law, please support me with your hands. I sprained my ankle the other day and I feel terribly painful now. I don't know if I ran too fast just now."
After finishing speaking, Su Yuanyuan bent down to check her ankle. And because of this action, the shoulder straps of her dress slipped down accidentally. Just as the parts below her shoulders were about to be exposed...
"Injury in muscles and bones takes one hundred days to recover." Su Jianan suddenly walked over and casually pulled up Su Yuanyuan's shoulder straps, adding with a smile, "Yuanyuan, you'd better stay put and don't run around. I'll ask Aunt Liu to come up and help you down."
When Aunt Liu went upstairs, Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan with a bright smile. "Husband, I'd like to ask you a question."
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were sparkling. And when the intimate address jumped out from her pink lips without warning, Lu Boyan felt as if the tip of his heart had been scratched by a cat's paw. However, he just replied with a single word as if nothing happened. "H'm."
"I remember that you said... you only like natural beauties, huh?"
After that, she shot Su Yuanyuan a quick glance, as if she was referring to her. Right at this moment, Su Yuanyuan's expression changed dramatically.
A faint smile crept over the corners of Lu Boyan's mouth.
"H'm." He gently pushed the long hair from Su Jianan's cheek behind her ear with affection. "I like someone like you, my wife."
"He called her wife?"
Su Jianan was terribly stunned and she stared at Lu Boyan in astonishment. It seemed to her as if his smile, playful and joyful, was about to be imprinted into her mind.
She suddenly felt her head go blank and could only vaguely remember the temperature and touch of Lu Boyan's fingers brushing her cheek.
Lu Boyan put his hand around Su Jianan's waist and hugged her tightly, signaling her to come to her senses, otherwise, their drama of "the display of affection" would be exposed.
Su Jianan felt an itch on her waist and that was the feeling Lu Boyan brought her. Surprisingly, she did not hate it.
After she came to her senses, she finally realized that she and Lu Boyan were too intimate right now. Instinctively, she wanted to escape, but she was held more tightly by Lu Boyan.
She gave Lu Boyan a charming but warning smile.
Lu Boyan continued to make Su Jianan stay in his embrace with pleasure as if he did not receive her warning. Aunt Liu finally came to the second floor.
Su Jianan had no choice but to command Aunt Liu, "Yuanyuan's ankle is bothering her. Help her down."
Aunt Liu obeyed the order and helped Su Yuanyuan, who was reluctant to go downstairs and whose heart was still fluttering with fear, down.
Su Jianan took the stiff smile off her face and shot Lu Boyan an angry glance, saying, "How much longer are you going to take advantage of me?" The guy's hand was still on her waist!
Lu Boyan frowned and there was actually a bit of grievance in his tone. "I didn't expect you to be such a person," he said. Then he pointed at Su Jianan's hand, which was still in his arm, and continued, "Obviously, it's you who take advantage of me much longer."
Damn it! Su Jianan withdrew her hand quickly. Lu Boyan released her at about the same time as well.
Su Jianan's face was strangely hot. She no longer argued about that topic with Lu Boyan and ran downstairs.
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
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
