Su Jianâan didnât know how long she had slept. In a daze, she felt that something was stuck to her face.
She opened her eyes and saw Lu Boyan sitting by the bed. When she took a closer look, she was caught off guard as she met his deep gaze, which was profound and focused.
Since it was Lu Boyan who was with her, she had nothing to worry about.
Su Jianâan closed her eyes again and wanted to sleep for a while, but she couldnât fall asleep at all. Instead, her mind was particularly active.
She felt a little strange.
She and Lu Boyan had been married for two years, and they could not be more familiar with each other.
But she found that he still liked to look at her very much.
Even though he was very busy and had no time to waste, he was still willing to spend some time looking at her quietly, as if she was his source of energy.
Every time he looked at her, his eyes would become very deep, which almost her felt like lost in his soul.
Was his strange behavior due to his love for her?
She supposed so.
Thinking of this, Su Jianâan became more and more sleepy. When she was about to fall asleep, she felt that Lu Boyan had also laid down.
Before she could react, she was already held in his arms.
Su Jianâan vaguely had a bad feeling, and her mind became much clearer. For no reason, she thought that it seemed to be getting late, and the two little kids should wake up soon.
Her sleepiness was quickly dispelled by her rationality.
She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Boyan. âHave you finished your work?â
Lu Boyan paused for two seconds before saying, âIâve finished my work during the day.â
His tone always sounded like he was implying something else.
Su Jianâan thought about the current situation and tragically found that she was in Lu Boyanâs arms. Even if he had other plans, she had nowhere to flee.
She looked at him uneasily and asked cautiously, âWhat else⦠do you need to do tonight?â
She could almost guess his answer.
Lu Boyan would probably say, âJianâan, what will happen tonight is between usâ¦â
She knew Lu Boyan too well and thought that her guessing must be correct.
Lu Boyan held Su Jianâan even tighter, pressed the tip of his nose against hers intimately, and said, âI have two video conferences tonight.â
Su Jianâan didnât know what to say.
She was stunned and could not help but curl her lips inwardly.
It was not easy for her to try to guess his plan, but she guessed it wrong.
Lu Boyan soon noticed Su Jianâanâs unusual behavior. He looked at her with a faint smile and asked in a low voice, âJianâan, what were you thinking?â
Su Jianâan hurriedly denied it. âI wasnât thinking about anything!â She didnât dare to look at Lu Boyan, and her eyes unnaturally drifted elsewhere. She tried to explain. âIn fact⦠I thought almost the same as youâ¦â
What she meant was that what Lu Boyan was thinking was more serious, while she was less serious.
âItâs just a small difference.
âItâs basically the same, right?â
Su Jianâan was still trying to convince herself, and Lu Boyan chuckled.
He seemed to have heard something very ridiculous.
Su Jianâan had a guilty conscience. When she heard Lu Boyanâs laughter, she instantly lost her confidence.
She gently bit his chest through the clothes and pretended to be angry, asking, âWhat are you laughing at?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The smile on Lu Boyanâs face became more and more meaningful. He looked at Su Jianâan and said, âWeâve been together for such a long time. Itâs still so obvious when you want to lie.â Then, he flicked Su Jianâanâs forehead and said in a very helpless tone, âWhy are you so stupid?â
Su Jianâan was speechless. She could only sigh with Lu Boyan and began to shirk her responsibilities. âYeah. I also wonder why I havenât made any progress since I married you.â
The implication was that it was because of Lu Boyan that she had not made progress.
As for why Lu Boyan was at fault, it was probably because he doted on her too much.
Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes, turned over, and pressed down on Su Jianâan firmly.
He lowered his head and stared at a certain part of Jianâanâs body without hesitation. âI think youâre wrong about that.â
Su Jianâanâs face immediately turned red. She coughed and pushed Lu Boyan. âIâm going to see if Xiyu and Xiangyi have woken upâ¦â She was hinting that it was time for him to let go of her.
Lu Boyan had not planned to do anything to Su Jianâan.
However, looking at her timid look, he suddenly felt that if he didnât do something, he would be letting down Su Jianâan for the way she responded to him.
Moreover, she was in his arms at this moment. In his embrace, she seemed to have no choice but to obey whatever he wanted to do.
Lu Boyan had always been a man of action. Thinking of this, he slowly leaned his lips close to Su Jianâan.
She felt that his breath was getting closer and closer, and her hands unconsciously grabbed the sheets under her body.
She didnât plan to push Lu Boyan away.
The two of them quickly pressed their lips together and their breaths mingled.
Lu Boyan gently kissed Su Jianâan and pampered her in a soft voice. âJianâan, be nice and open your mouth.â
The last thing that Su Jianâan could stand was Lu Boyanâs charm.
She closed her eyes, obediently loosened her grit, and let Lu Boyan suck her mouth as much as he wanted.
However, before he could kiss her lips again, there was a hurried knock on the door, which interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere that he had created painstakingly.
...
It was either Uncle Xu or Aunt Liu who had knocked on the door.
As for the reason, it was most likely that the two little kids had begun to cause trouble again.
Su Jianâan was used to being interrupted when they were about to have sex, but Lu Boyan didnât seem to be used to it yet.
She opened her eyes and saw that his handsome face had darkened, and he looked displeased.
She touched his face and consoled him. âTry to think that no matter what Xiyu and Xiangyi have done, they are still your kids.â
Lu Boyan put his arms around Su Jianâanâs waist unwillingly and said, âShould I let them experience real life in advance?â
âHmm?â Su Jianâan was confused. âWhat do you mean?â
âThey should learn to live independently,â Lu Boyan said. âWe can buy another house in the villa district and let them live there.â
Su Jianâan did not know how to respond.
She had never seen a father who would dote on his children so much as Lu Boyan, but she had never seen such a ruthless father as him either.
Xiyu and Xiangyi were less than a year old. How could he want them to live independently?
...
âHoweverâ¦â
Su Jianâan was not moved and asked, âBoyan, would you really bear to send Xiyu and Xiangyi away?â
Lu Boyan didnât say anything.
Lu Boyan seemed to have considered it seriously, but he did not speak, and there was rare hesitation on his face.
Su Jianâan thought proudly in her heart that she knew that Lu Boyan didnât mean it.
He doted on the two little kids more than she did. Why would he bear to send them away?
Su Jianâan said with a smile, âWhen Xiyu and Xiangyi grow up, I wonât tell them about this. Well, we should get up now.â If she didnât get up now, Aunt Liu and Uncle Xu would probably be unable to deal with the two little kids.
Lu Boyan released Su Jianâan, got up with her, and went to the childrenâs room.
For some reason, Xiangyi was crying loudly, and her tender voice made people feel extremely distressed.
Perhaps because he had heard his sisterâs cry, Xiyu, who had always been obedient, also began to hum. He pouted and lay on the baby bed reluctantly, looking like he was going to cry with Xiangyi.
Aunt Liu was tortured by the two little kids and hurried to make milk formula. When she saw Su Jianâan and Lu Boyan coming in, she explained, âThey woke up together, and Xiangyi began to cry for no reason. I was so anxious that I had no choice but to ask Mr. Xu to go to you.
Su Jianâan smiled and said, âAunt Liu, go and have a rest. Leave Xiyu and Xiangyi to us.â
Aunt Liu left the childrenâs room with the family of four in the spacious room left.
Su Jianâan looked at Lu Boyan and said, âSame rules.â
Their ârulesâ had been set not long ago.
Su Jianâan observed for a while and found that Xiangyi preferred her and Xiyu preferred Lu Boyan.
The couple had agreed that when the two little kids made trouble together again, she would take care of Xiangyi, and Lu Boyan would take care of Xiyu. They decided that whoever could make the kid behave well first would be the winner.
According to the rules, Su Jianâan should go to hold Xiangyi.
Then, she realized that she had made a wrong decision.
Compared with Xiyu, Xiangyi was too difficult to deal with. No matter how hard Su Jianâan fed the milk or held her in her arms to pamper the little girl, she couldnât get what her mother was doing and just burst into tears.
As for Xiyu, the little boy had fallen asleep obediently in Lu Boyanâs arms.
Lu Boyan put Xiyu on the cot and walked to Su Jianâan. He looked at her leisurely and asked, âDo you need any help?â
Su Jianâan looked like she wanted to cry. âI yield. Would that be enough?â
Lu Boyan smiled and held Xiangyi in his arms. The little girl acted like a spoiled child in his arms for a while and soon calmed down. She drank the milk obediently and sighed with satisfaction.
Su Jianâan could not help but cover her face.
âWhy?
âWhy would Xiyu and Xiangyi both stick to Boyan and turn a blind eye to her as soon as he shows up?
âIâm their mother after all. Is it okay for them to hurt me like this?â
Su Jianâan simply left the two little kids alone. She rested her chin on her hands and sat on the sofa, quietly thinking about everything she had learned.
Xiangyi soon fell asleep as well. Lu Boyan put the little girl on the cot and covered her with the quilt. Then, he walked to Su Jianâan and asked, âWhat are you wondering about?â
Su Jianâan was lost in thought. Without looking at Lu Boyan, she answered as if she were talking to herself, âIâm wondering if they are so clingy to you because you rarely stay with them.â
Lu Boyan nodded. âThatâs probably the reason.â
Su Jianâan felt that Lu Boyanâs tone was too perfunctory, so she snorted and warned him, âMr. Lu, donât be too proud!â
Lu Boyan smiled and sat down. âMrs. Lu, are you jealous?â he asked.
Su Jianâan turned her head and determinedly denied it. âYouâre overthinking this. Iâm not jealous. Not at all!â
The smile on Lu Boyanâs lips deepened. He held Su Jianâan in his arms and comforted her as if he were pampering a child. âAlthough Xiyu and Xiangyi rely on me more, I canât live without you. In this way, you are the greatest winner.â
Su Jianâan didnât say anything.
She thought about Lu Boyanâs words and found that they seemed to make sense.
She finally looked at him and smiled, her peach-blossom-like eyes full of moving brilliance.
Lu Boyan seemed to be relieved and asked softly, âAre you in a better mood finally?â
