In the Dingya Villas.
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky had already darkened.
Su Jianâan pampered the two little kids to sleep and left the childrenâs room quietly. When she returned to her room, she passed by Lu Boyanâs study.
For a long time after they got married, Lu Boyan was used to doing his work while having the study room closed.
When Su Jianâan thought about it sometimes, she couldnât help but wonder if Lu Boyan was secretly contacting some pretty lady in the study.
Of course, she was merely thinking about it, and she didnât go to confirm it or take any further action.
Back then, when she and Lu Boyan had not been together yet, she naively thought that Han Ruoxi was whom Lu Boyan loved.
At that time, Han Ruoxi used all kinds of means, including hinting and bribing the media, to cause a sensation about her and Lu Boyanâs relationship. The media even made the headline âOnly Han Ruoxi is worthy of Lu Boyanâ.
Like all the onlookers, Su Jianâan believed it to be true.
Not only that, but she also thought that she had ruined Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxiâs relationship. She kept telling herself every day that she could not have greater feelings for Lu Boyan, otherwise, she would end up miserable.
Thinking of this, Su Jianâan did not care too much about these things.
However, after she and Lu Boyan officially got together, he changed his habit.
Most of the time, he just left the study door ajar so that she could push it open and enter at any time.
Su Jianâan knew what Lu Boyan meant by this, but she had learned from many bad experiences that she shouldnât enter the study easily when there was nothing important.
As for how these experiences were learned, she did not want to recall them.
That night, Su Jianâan once again passed by the door of the study. Somehow, she couldnât help it. She stopped and looked inside through the crack of the door.
Lu Boyanâs back was straightened when he sat in front of the desk gracefully. His eyes were focused on the laptop screen. From time to time, he would tap the keyboard a few times, and there was a slight crackling sound, gently breaking the silence in the corridor.
He should be very busy.
If it werenât for that, he would have noticed her a long time ago.
Su Jianâan thought for a moment and did not go in to disturb Lu Boyan. She went straight back to the bedroom.
After the shower, Su Jianâan lay down on the bed. She tossed and turned for a long time. No matter how hard she tried to hypnotize herself, she couldnât fall asleep.
In the end, she gave up. She adjusted herself to a comfortable posture and stared blankly at the ceiling.
After an unknown period, Su Jianâan heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
She didnât need to guess to know that it must be Lu Boyan.
Su Jianâan lay unmoved and did not look at Lu Boyan. She said lazily, âIâve already prepared the pajamas for you. They are in the bathroom. Go take a shower.â
Lu Boyan slowly walked to Su Jianâanâs side and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. âThank you.â After that, without waiting for her response, he went straight to the bathroom.
Su Jianâan forgot when Lu Boyan had started to leave the door open while taking a shower. He would always do that. She was lying in bed and could clearly hear the sound of water.
Su Jianâan had once asked Lu Boyan about this question, trying to get to the bottom of it.
She would never have thought that Lu Boyan would say such ambiguous words. âJianâan, Iâm giving you a chance by doing that. Donât you get it?â
âHuh?â Su Jianâan really didnât get it and asked in a daze, âWhat chance?â
Lu Boyan smiled and whispered in Su Jianâanâs ear, âYou have a chance to violate me.â In the end, he did not forget to remind her, âJianâan, remember to grasp it well.â
Su Jianâan was speechless for a while.
When she came to her senses, she called Lu Boyanâs behavior âa classy indecent actâ. He even tempted her to act indecently with him.
Unfortunately, she was not in the mood to do that now.
At this moment, Su Jianâanâs heart had been occupied by anxiety and uneasiness.
Lu Boyan showered very fast. After a while, the sound of running water in the bathroom stopped, and he also dried his hair while coming out of the bathroom.
Su Jianâan looked at Lu Boyan.
He got out of his rigorous custom-made suit and wore only a pair of navy blue pajamas, but it didnât affect the stunning charm on him at all.
On the contrary, his casual outfit made him look even more languid and charming.
Only then did Su Jianâan realize how infatuated she was. Looking at Lu Boyan in this way, she would still get greatly attracted to him.
In the past, Su Jianâan might be interested in flirting with Lu Boyan.
Of course, she would definitely be unable to escape her fate of being completely conquered in the end.
However, she was not in the mood today.
Su Jianâan sat up, took the towel from Lu Boyanâs hand, and helped him dry his hair.
Her movements were very light. It was as if she was afraid of having something damaged. She dried the water on Lu Boyanâs short hair little by little.
Lu Boyan noticed that something was wrong, but he did not say anything. He calmly let Su Jianâan help him.
After drying his hair for a few minutes, Su Jianâan touched Lu Boyanâs head, and his hair was almost dry.
She put away the towel and said, âItâs done.â
Only then did Lu Boyan grab Su Jianâanâs hand. He turned around and hugged her. âWhatâs wrong?â
When he just returned to the bedroom, he found that Su Jianâan got a lot on her mind. He didnât expect that she was still like this after he finished his shower.
Since she couldnât adjust herself, he had to ask.
Su Jianâan looked at Lu Boyan for a while. She did not mind being laughed at by him. She seemed to be relying on him when she leaned into his arms. âI canât sleep.â
Lu Boyan vaguely guessed something and touched Su Jianâanâs hair. âIs it because Yuechuan is going to take the operation tomorrow?â
What he said was right. Su Jianâanâs uneasiness today was all because of this.
Even if she didnât say it, Lu Boyan could guess it.
Su Jianâan nodded and buried her face in Lu Boyanâs arms. After a while, she said, âI told Yunyun to believe in Yuechuan. But at this time, Iâm still quite afraidâ¦â
She was afraid that what they had wished for would fail.
She was afraid that when the operation started tomorrow, everything would develop in a bad way that they couldnât handle.
What terrified her more was that after tomorrow, Yuechuan and Yunyun would be separated forever.
Yunyun couldnât bear such a painful blow, and she couldnât bear to see Yunyun suffer so much pain.
She was destined to be unable to fall asleep that night.
Even though Su Jianâan had only said a few words, Lu Boyan could more or less guess her inner thoughts without asking.
He gently stroked the back of her head with one hand and pressed her into his arms. After a while, he said slowly, âJianâan, Iâm sorry. I donât know how to comfort you on this matter.â
In the past, no matter what happened to Su Jianâan, Lu Boyan was always the first one to stand up for her.
This was the first time that he told her that there was nothing he could do.
Su Jianâan was more or less surprised. She raised her head from Lu Boyanâs arms and looked at him blankly.
Lu Boyan gently stroked Su Jianâanâs forehead with his hand and said in a low voice, âIâm just as afraid as you.â
Su Jianâan was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that she was uneasy, and so was Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan had known each other for ten years and had experienced ups and downs together.
They were not related by blood, but their relationship was better than that of birth brothers.
When the sun rose tomorrow, Yuechuan would face the greatest challenge in his life.
âExcept for Yunyun, Boyan should be the one who is the most worried.
âI should be the one to comfort him.â
Su Jianâan pursed her lips and looked at Lu Boyan apologetically. âIâm sorry. I should be comforting you, not the other way around.â
âIt doesnât matter.â Lu Boyan lay down with Su Jianâan in his arms. âJianâan, itâll be no use for us to think too much now. We might as well go to sleep early so that we can go to the hospital to accompany Yuechuan earlier tomorrow morning.â
Su Jianâan thought about it and found Lu Boyanâs words seemed to make sense.
She nodded and closed her eyes obediently. The next second, she felt Lu Boyan pull up the quilt and gently cover her with it.
She adjusted her sleeping posture and buried her face in Lu Boyanâs arms. After trying to sleep for a while, she still didnât feel sleepy, so she rubbed against Lu Boyanâs chest like a little worm.
Lu Boyan noticed what Su Jianâan was doing and guessed that she was still awake. He sighed and gently stroked her back as he usually did when pampering Xiangyi to sleep. He said in a low and soft voice, âGo to sleep. With me here, you donât need to be afraid of anything.â
The last part of his words got to her, and it made her feel inexplicably at ease. The uneasiness in her heart seemed to have been pacified by a gentle big hand.
After they had been married for so long, no matter if it was before or after they were together, it seemed that they had always been like this.
No matter what happened, no matter how uneasy the situation was, as long as Lu Boyan was by her side, Su Jianâan could have more courage for no reason and face all unknown dangers.
Su Jianâan put her hand on Lu Boyanâs chest and hugged him. She slowly opened her eyes, and there was no longer confusion and uneasiness in them.
She looked at Lu Boyan and said, âI wonder how Yunyun is doing nowâ¦â
Lu Boyan didnât know why Su Jianâan was worried so much. He frowned and kissed her in the eye. âItâs not your turn to worry about her now. Just go to sleep.â
Su Jianâan thought for a moment and soon understood why Lu Boyan said that.
Yuechuan and Yunyun were married, and they were a legitimate couple.
In Lu Boyanâs mind, Yuechuan should be the one to worry about Yunyun, just like he had handled everything for Su Jianâan when they got newly married.
As for her, she would be offering her greatest help by doing what she should do.
All she should do now was sleep.
After thinking about it seriously, Su Jianâan suddenly understood that she didnât have to worry too much about Yunyun.
Just now, she was so worried about Yuechuan that she was afraid of tomorrowâs arrival.
In the end, she was comforted by Lu Boyan.
âAt this moment, Yuechuan is with Yunyun just like Boyan is with me. Yuechuan will find a way to comfort Yunyun, wonât he?
âTherefore, I donât need to worry about Yunyun too much now.â
Thinking of this, Su Jianâan moved a bit and snuggled into Lu Boyanâs arms like a little worm, leaning against him steadily. âGot it. Iâll go to sleep now. Good night!â
Lu Boyan stroked Su Jianâanâs back and pampered her softly, âSleep well. Good night.â
