âWe can have another child... right now.â
As soon as Lu Boyan finished speaking, he suddenly picked Su Jianâan up before she could react.
âAh!â
Su Jianâan screamed and struggled subconsciously. When she came to her senses, Lu Boyan had already pressed her down on the bed.
She looked at Lu Boyan dazedly. After a while, she finally realized that Lu Boyan had said that they could have another child right now.
If she told Tang Yulan that she was pregnant again, Tang Yulan would be over the moon.
But... wasnât this too soon?
Su Jianâan struggled again and was about to protest when Lu Boyanâs kisses rushed over her like a tide and formed a whirlpool.
She was pulled into the whirlpool by Lu Boyan and sank into it with him. She could no longer resist...
Outside the window, the fireworks were dazzling.
Inside the room, the flames of love were equally dazzling.
The next morning, Su Jianâan was woken up by Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyanâs deep voice was full of satisfaction and tenderness. âJianâan, we should get up and prepare for Yuechuan and Yunyunâs wedding.â
Su Jianâan could hear Lu Boyan, but she did not want to talk to him.
She forgot how she had fallen asleep last night.
Now, she only knew that she was very sleepy.
Su Jianâan turned over, pulled up the quilt, and shrank under the quilt, trying to keep out all the sounds.
Lu Boyan was more patient than ever. He lifted the quilt slightly and whispered in Su Jianâanâs ear, âWe have something very important to do today. If you donât get up now, we will be late.â
Su Jianâan also knew that Yuechuan and Yunyunâs affair was very important and she could not really laze about in bed today.
She suddenly lifted the quilt, opened her eyes, and looked at Lu Boyan with resentment. âItâs all your fault if weâre late!â
Lu Boyan laughed in a low voice, and his voice was filled with infinite tolerance. âOkay, itâs all my fault.â Then he hugged Su Jianâan and asked in a low voice, âShall I pick you up?â
Having been married for so long, Su Jianâan understood what he meant.
It was not a wise decision for her to have any intimate contact with Lu Boyan, especially during special times, like in the morning and in the evening...
Otherwise, their desire would easily spiral out of control.
Lu Boyanâs hug was naturally within the scope of intimate contact.
Su Jianâan shook her head and decisively slid off the bed. âI can get up by myself!â
Seeing Su Jianâan trying to run away, Lu Boyan could not help smiling slightly. He got out of bed and followed her into the bathroom.
Su Jianâan was already brushing her teeth, and the sound of the electric toothbrush buzzing away filled the bathroom.
There was already some toothpaste on Lu Boyanâs toothbrush.
He walked over and picked up the toothbrush, but he just held it in his hand and looked at Su Jianâan in the mirror.
Su Jianâan was confused by Lu Boyanâs gaze. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and looked at him. âWhatâs wrong?â
Lu Boyan replied, âYou donât have to take what Mom said at dinner last night seriously.â
Su Jianâan was in a daze. After thinking for a while, she realized that Lu Boyan was talking about them having another child.
When they had their New Yearâs Eve dinner last night, Tang Yulan inadvertently mentioned that they could have another child, but Lu Boyan directly told the old lady that they were not going to have another child.
Tang Yulan just said that it was up to them and did not say anything else.
Su Jianâan breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she was worried if the old lady would be very disappointed.
But now, Lu Boyan said that she did not need to take the old ladyâs words seriously.
âIs it really... OK?â
Lu Boyan caressed Su Jianâanâs hair and comforted her softly. âFor this kind of thing, Mom will respect our decisions, just like what she said yesterday.â
Of course, Su Jianâan still remembered what the old lady had said later.
Yesterday, the old lady had specially told them that they could decide on how many children they wanted and how they would bring up their children.
Because they were younger and could keep up with the pace of the times. Her only responsibility was to enjoy her late years.
At that moment, Su Jianâan had to admit that she was touched.
Because the old lady was open-minded, and more importantly, the old lady valued happiness most.
Su Jianâan washed her face, then looked at Lu Boyan, and said, âIn fact, I hope that Mom doesnât worry about us. I hope that she can live her life freely. She can travel or relax. Whenever she misses us, she can come back to see us. As for the problems and difficulties that we need to face, she doesnât have to keep them in mind at all.â
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianâan for a moment and suddenly asked, âJianâan, how do you want to live when we get old?â
Su Jianâanâs eyes lit up, and she said without hesitation, âIâm going to do something I didnât have time to do when I was young! If I really have nothing to do, Iâll go travel around the world!â
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and asked, âWhat about Xiyu and Xiangyi? Are you going to leave them alone?â
âWhen I get old, theyâll grow up and have their own lives.â Su Jianâan shook her head. âI wonât interfere in their lives. I want to do what I want to do!â
Lu Boyan smiled and rubbed Su Jianâanâs head. âWhen we get old, I will accompany you.â
Su Jianâan admitted that her decision was a little âwaywardâ in her old age.
However, Lu Boyan did not reprimand her. Instead, he said that he would accompany her.
It would be a lie if she said that she was not touched.
She reached out her hand and pretended to make a pinky swear with Lu Boyan. âAt this time, I think itâs necessary for me to learn from Yunyun. You said that you would accompany me in the future, and if you break your promise, you are a puppy!â
Lu Boyan hooked Su Jianâanâs finger tightly, as if he were agreeing to her request.
After a while, Lu Boyan let go of Su Jianâanâs hand and said, âGet ready as soon as possible. Yuechuan and Yunyunâs wedding will be at 11 oâclock.â
âWell, okay!â
Su Jianâan soon washed up and pulled Lu Boyan downstairs.
There was a tradition in City A. On the morning of the first day of the New Year, the old needed to prepare breakfast for the whole family.
Tang Yulan got up early. When Su Jianâan and Lu Boyan went downstairs, breakfast was already on the table.
Su Jianâan was as energetic as ever. She walked over and greeted Tang Yulan sweetly. âMom, happy New Year.â
Tang Yulan handed Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan a red packet respectively and said, âHappy New Year. Good luck in the year ahead.â
Su Jianâan took the red packet and was a little stunned.
Since her mother passed away, she had only received red packets from Su Yicheng on the first day of the New Year.
After so many years, Tang Yulan was the second person to give her a red packet.
Su Jianâan said with a brilliant smile, âThank you, Mom.â
âSilly girl, itâs just a red packet. Thereâs no need to thank me.â Tang Yulan smiled and continued, âWell, letâs have breakfast. After breakfast, you should go to Yunyun and Yuechuanâs wedding venue. You can leave Xiyu and Xiangyi at home. Iâll take care of them and then go to the church at noon.â
That was also Su Jianâanâs plan. She nodded and quickly finished her breakfast. She stood up and said, âMom, Iâll go upstairs and change first.â
Although she said this, the first thing Su Jianâan did after she returned to the room was to open the red packet and examine the new banknotes with great interest.
She did not care how many notes there were in the red packet. She just enjoyed opening red packets.
Lu Boyan followed Su Jianâan to the room and did not miss her action. He walked behind her and said, âDo you still think itâs fun to open red packets?â
Yes, Lu Boyan used the word âstillâ.
It was a very ordinary word, but it revealed the fact that Lu Boyan knew that Su Jianâan liked opening red packets.
Hearing Lu Boyanâs words, Su Jianâan was completely lost in her memories and ignored this detail for a moment.
In Su Jianâanâs memory, there were two wonderful events during the Spring Festival.
One was fireworks in the night sky.
The other one was red packets handed to her on the first morning of the New Year.
Watching fireworks was visually stunning, and red packets could fill her childish heart with subtle joy.
Therefore, it was not difficult to answer Lu Boyanâs question.
Su Jianâan nodded without hesitation, and her eyes were shining. âItâs fun!â
Lu Boyan smiled, took out the red packet he had prepared earlier and handed it to Su Jianâan.
Su Jianâanâs eyes widened. She was even more surprised than when she received Tang Yulanâs red packet. She looked at Lu Boyan blankly and asked, âWhy, why did you give me a red packet?â
Lu Boyan caressed Su Jianâanâs head lovingly. âAs long as you like it, I can give you a red packet every Spring Festival.â
He did not tell Su Jianâan that he did this because he always remembered one thing.
More than a decade ago, after his father just passed away, he and Tang Yulan lived in Su Jianâanâs grandmotherâs old house.
When he and Tang Yulan were about to go to country A, Tang Yulan gave Su Jianâan a red packet.
Tang Yulan said that this was the custom of City A. Because Su Jianâan was still young, if she gave her a red packet when she left, Su Jianâan could grow up healthily and happily.
Su Jianâan did not know that they were about to leave. She took the red packet and jumped for joy.
Tang Yulan was surprised and asked Su Jianâanâs mother, âDoes Jianâan like red packets very much?â
Mrs. Su could not help smiling and explained, âJianâan does not like red packets. She just likes opening red packets.â
Tang Yulan asked in confusion, âOpening red packets?â
Mrs. Su continued, âYes, every New Year, what Jianâan looks forward most to is receiving and opening red packets. She doesnât care how much money there is in the packet. She just enjoys opening it.â
Tang Yulan said with a smile, âItâs really interesting. Well, in the future, as long as I can see Jianâan during the Spring Festival every year, I will definitely give her a red packet!â
Tang Yulan still remembered what she had said many years ago, and she indeed did it.
Lu Boyan also remembered Su Jianâanâs special hobby, so he had long prepared a red packet for her. He handed it to her now just to see her surprised and happy smile.
It turned out that Lu Boyanâs efforts were not in vain.
Su Jianâan took the red packet, tiptoed, and kissed his lips. âHoney, thank you.â
She could more or less guess that Lu Boyan was just trying to make her happy.
This was love, when she thought about it.
Because Lu Boyan loved her, he wanted her to happy by taking note of every detail of what she liked.
