A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 224 Su Jianan’s Gift

Su Yicheng’s face fell again and again, and turned dark.

However, Su Jianan did not finish her words yet.

“Oh, of course, the ‘Xiaowei’ in the lyrics has to be changed to ‘Xiaoxi’,” she added, “this is more interesting!”

Just imagining Su Yicheng singing “Xiaoxi, do you know how much I love you?” with affection caused Shen Yuechuan to roll on the sofa in laughing. Su Yicheng stared at Su Jianan with sharp and warning eyes.

Although Su Jianan knew that Su Yicheng favored her, she still held some awe for this brother. She couldn’t help but hide in Lu Boyan’s arms under Su Yicheng’s gaze.

Lu Boyan naturally hugged her with an indulgent look and looked back at Su Yicheng coldly.

Luo Xiaoxi had wanted to watch the show aside, but she rethought it that Su Yicheng was her boyfriend now.

She could not stand by and saw him being attacked.

“Don’t go too far, you guys.” Luo Xiaoxi put on a serious look and continued, “Even if Su Yicheng has to sing this song, he will only sing it for me in private. Don’t try to take advantage of it, guys.”

Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaoxi convinced everyone.

In fact, Shen Yuechuan did not want to make fun of Su Yicheng anymore either as he was afraid that Su Yicheng, an aloof man, would get it back afterward if they really forced him to sing the song.

At this moment, the chime of midnight was peacefully arriving on time.

Shen Yuechuan clapped his hands. “Boss Lu’s birthday is over, let’s go home now. We have to go to work tomorrow morning after all.”

Su Jianan also stood up with others, but she suddenly felt dizzy and almost lost her balance.

Lu Boyan quickly held Su Jianan up and asked, “Are you ok?”

Su Jianan waved her hand, indicating that she was fine. She rubbed her temple and said, “I’m just a little drunk.” The wine had quite a kick.

“Can you walk by yourself?” Lu Boyan asked with a frown.

Su Jianan tried to take a step but found that her legs went limp, and she almost fell on the ground.

“She can’t go home like this,” Shen Yuechuan said, “Why not the two of you stay here for the night?”

“No! Let’s go home!” Su Jianan suddenly became sober and denied Shen Yuechuan’s proposal. Then she turned to look at Lu Boyan with pitying a look and said, “I want to go home.”

Lu Boyan could never refuse her request.

He held Su Jianan up in his arms and walked to the elevator, ignoring everyone’s astonished look.

Shen Yuechuan widened his eyes and clapped his hands with cheers. Seeing that, Luo Xiaoxi also leaned to Su Yicheng and said, “I’m a little drunk too. Hold me up, honey.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuechuan looked at Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng with expectation and his eyes were shining with one thing—gossip.

Su Yicheng yelled coldly at Shen Yuechuan, “Get away!”

Shen Yuechuan felt aggrieved and tried to argue with Su Yicheng but was pulled away by Mu Sijue.

At this time, Lu Boyan and Su Jianan had already gone downstairs. Mu Sijue pushed Shen Yuechuan into another elevator.

The elevator door slowly closed and took the last two “third-wheels” downstairs. In this long corridor, there were only Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi.

Su Yichen’s eyes suddenly became fierce and dangerous.

He reached out and pressed Luo Xiaoxi against the wall.

“Having a great time, huh?”

Luo Xiaoxi showed no fear at all and honestly nodded. “Yes, I’m very happy! But if you are willing to hold me down, I will be happier!”

Su Yicheng meaningfully raised the corner of his mouth. Without any warning, he held Luo Xiaoxi up.

“Yum!”

He was so quick and accurate that Luo Xiaoxi let out a scream, and after a moment, she reacted and realized that they were not heading downstairs but to the end of the corridor.

There was a big window there.

“Hey, don’t tell me you want to throw me down from there.” Luo Xiaoxi thought of a bloody scene.

Su Yicheng’s eyes were deep, and the smile on his face was so meaningful. “How would I bear to do that?”

With a twist of his hand, the door of a suite opened. Then, his leisure voice came into Luo Xiaoxi’s ears.

“We’ll stay here tonight.”

“Bang—” The thick wooden door was shut closed by Su Yicheng’s backhand, and it all happened before Luo Xiaoxi could refuse.

At this time, Lu Boyan and Su Jianan just got out of the elevator.

There were so many passengers on the first floor, so Su Jianan felt somewhat embarrassed being held by Lu Boyan. She struggled to get down, but Lu Boyan refused to let her go. Thus, she simply buried her face in Lu Boyan’s chest.

“I won’t lose face now,” she said naively, “because others can’t see my face at all!”

Lu Boyan raised the corner of his lips and spoiled Su Jianan’s beautiful fantasy. “They can’t see your face, but they can guess who you are.”

As the saying went, the eyes of the masses were sharp. The woman Lu Boyan would hold in his arms in public could be no one else but Mrs. Lu.

Su Jianan was paralyzed.

Shen Yuechuan had told the driver to wait for Lu Boyan and Su Jianan at the gate. Seeing that Lu Boyan came out holding Su Jianan in his arms, the driver immediately got off the car to open the door of the car for them. After Lu Boyan settled Su Jianan, he pulled down the baffle between the front and rear seats and slightly lowered the windows to let fresh air in.

As the cool evening breeze came into the car, Su Jianan felt much better.

She snuggled in Lu Boyan’s arms and asked, “You never told me the things Mu Sijue mentioned tonight before. Why?”

Lu Boyan helped Su Jianan lie in a more comfortable way and answered, “You haven’t completely accepted your mother’s death, so I didn’t want to mention it in front of you.”

Su Jianan lowered her gaze and felt her heart aching.

The death of her mother was the most painful blow in her life. Although she persuaded herself to continue living, Lu Boyan was right that she did not really accept the fact; at least, she could not mention it to others.

She looked up at Lu Boyan and said, “Since you had returned to China at that time, why didn’t tell me?”

Those days were so painful to her, and also to Su Yicheng. They could not comfort each other at that time. If Lu Boyan had been with her, she might not have been so desperate at that time.

“At that time, we had not seen each other for five years,” Lu Boyan said, “I thought you had forgotten me.”

Su Jianan smiled bitterly. “... Actually, I thought about it at that time. I wondered if you would come back to see me. I thought, if I saw you, I would cry in your hugs.”

She had never dared to say these words before because she knew it was just her dream which would never come true.

She never thought that Lu Boyan had actually returned at that time.

“I’m sorry.” Lu Boyan took Su Jianan into his arms. “If I had known that you needed me, I would not have hidden away behind you.”

He would go to her and hold her in his arms like what he was doing now.

“It’s okay, it’s all gone. I’ve moved on.” Su Jianan groaned in Lu Boyan’s arms; her voice was a little confused. “In the future, don’t hide anything from me, ok? Either good things or bad ones, you have to tell me.”

“...OK.”

Su Jianan was somewhat dizzy and did not notice Lu Boyan’s hesitation before he made the promise. She was relieved on hearing the promise.

She closed her eyes and slept soundly.

The effect of the liquor left as fast as it came. Su Jianan, who slept along the way, became sober when getting home.

She struggled out from Lu Boyan’s arms, and Lu Boyan tidied her long hair and asked, “Do you still feel not well?”

Shaking her head, Su Jianan replied, “No.”

Lu Boyan, feeling assured, took her back to the room.

Uncle Xu, who had been waiting for them to come back, asked them what they needed. Su Jianan waved her hand and answered, “Uncle Xu, it’s late, you can go and have a rest.”

“OK.” Uncle Xu nodded. “Go to sleep early, master and madam.”

There were only Su Jianan and Lu Boyan in the big house.

Not knowing if it was the alcohol that made Su Jianan less reserved, she jumped upstairs humming a song. Lu Boyan was afraid that she would fall over and carefully guarded her from behind.

After noticing it, Su Jianan jumped even more happily.

She did that deliberately, but Lu Boyan did not mind at all.

Back in the room, Su Jianan immediately took off her shoes. “I will take a shower first!”

She opened her closet, chose carefully, and finally pulled out a nightdress before rushing into the bathroom.

Lu Boyan stared at the closed door of the bathroom, and perhaps it was his illusion, but he did feel that Su Jianan was somewhat abnormal.

Su Jianan spent quite a long time in the shower. When she came out, she had a fragrant smell. She turned around in front of Lu Boyan and opened the closet to take out his pajamas. “Hey, it’s your turn.”

The sound of the water dropping came out from the room soon, and Su Jianan was somewhat uneasy lying down on the bed, biting her lips, rolling around, and burying her face deep in the pillow.

After preparing for it so long, she still felt shy.

In excitement, she couldn’t help but kick her mattress.

As soon as Lu Boyan came out, he heard hitting sound and saw Su Jianan kick the mattress again and again. She buried her face in the pillow like a Geomyidae hiding underground.

He frowned and went to bed. “What’s wrong?”

Hearing Lu Boyan’s voice, Su Jianan reacted as if she had touched electricity.

She jerked her head up and looked at Lu Boyan for two seconds before she shook her head hard, saying, “Nothing!”

Her denial of decisiveness seemed as if she was trying to hiding something.

Lu Boyan slightly picked his eyebrows and touched Su Jianan’s forehead. “Still faint?”

“No!” Su Jianan truthfully answered.

Lu Boyan raised the corner of his lips with satisfaction. “Very good.”

Until then Su Jianan realized that Lu Boyan’s questions were just paving the way. She couldn’t help but swallow and nervously watched his handsome face.

“What is your gift for my birthday?” Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianan. His eyes were obviously indifferent, but she still felt that she was pinned by them. “I have been waiting for a day,” he continued.

“Gift...” Su Jianan nervously grabbed the quilt, avoiding his eyes, “That...”

Lu Boyan seemed to be happy to see Su Jianan’s nervous look. He emphasized with a pretended serious look. “If I am not satisfied with the gift, I will give it back.”

Su Jianan’s hand almost broke the quilt.

Hearing his words, as if she were stimulated, she threw herself at Lu Boyan with her beautiful eyes glittering. “You won’t be dissatisfied!”

Lu Boyan slowly understood what she meant. His pupils contracted, and for the first time, there were shock and uncertainty in his eyes. “Jianan, you...”

During more than half a year after they married, Su Jianan was always the one with weaker aura. Most of the time, she looked like a weak white rabbit.

That day, she finally behaved strongly once—

She kissed hard on Lu Boyan’s lips, dispelling his doubt and uncertainty.

She then told him that she was glad for what would come.
