The others had already left for the restaurant, and there were only Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan in the long corridor.
While walking, Su Jianâan suddenly laughed out loud without warning.
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianâan in confusion. âWhatâs wrong?â
At this moment, the elevator door slid open silently.
Su Jianâan pulled Lu Boyan into the elevator. After standing still, she stared at his face and said, âTwo years ago, I never thought that I would have a daughter whom I would worry about in two years.â
She just felt that life was too tormenting while it also arranged surprises for her.
Lu Boyan paused for a moment before he asked, âTwo years ago, did you think about your life by now?â
âYes!â Su Jianâan said without hesitation, âNot only now. I had even thought about my life after 20 years!â
There was a touch of doubt in Lu Boyanâs deep voice. âHow will your life be in your imagination two years later?â
âIt should be no different from the days before I got married. Most of the time, I will be working. During my free time, I will be sleeping, eating, or cooking.â Su Jianâan thought about it seriously and gave herself a big approval. âThere doesnât seem to be anything wrong with such a life!â
Lu Boyan sighed, and there was actually some self-blame in his tone. âIt is all my fault.â
Su Jianâan did not understand for a moment. She looked at Lu Boyan in confusion and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
She could not understand Lu Boyanâs meaning, and she did not even understand his words.
Lu Boyan patted Su Jianâanâs head and said, âIf I had come to you earlier, your future plan would not have been so boring.â
Su Jianâan was speechless.
âIs that kind of life boring?
âBefore marrying Boyan, I spent more than a year in that pattern after returning from abroad when I finished my postgraduate study.
âHow is this boring?â
Before Su Jianâan could figure it out, the elevator had gone to the first floor.
Lu Boyan held Su Jianâanâs hand and walked out. He said with a sigh, âFortunately, weâre married.â
The more Su Jianâan pondered on Lu Boyanâs words, the more she felt that something was wrong.
Lu Boyan seemed to mean that after they got married, she was the only one who changed her lifestyle.
âThis is a double standard.
âI would not allow it!â
Su Jianâan tugged at Lu Boyan to stop and looked at him with confidence. âWait a minute, letâs talk.â
Lu Boyan stopped and looked at Su Jianâan calmly. âWhat do you want to talk to me about?â
Su Jianâan summoned up her courage and revealed the truth little by little. âBefore we got married, you didnât seem to have an interesting life, did you? What else did you do besides work?â
Lu Boyan said without hesitation, âOf course, I had other things to do.â
Su Jianâan was stunned. She didnât expect that she would be refuted so soon, but there was still a trace of suspicion in her heart. She tentatively asked, âLike what?â
Lu Boyan said lightly and deservedly, âLike spying on you.â
Su Jianâan was speechless.
She suddenly recalled that before they got married, Lu Boyan had specially sent someone to keep an eye on her, take some photos of her from time to time, and send them to him.
Of course, Lu Boyan would not interfere in her life unless she was in danger.
When they first got married, Su Jianâan still did not know about this, nor did she find any clues in her daily life.
Not long after Shen Yuechuan hinted at her in a teasing way, Lu Boyan honestly told the truth.
However, if Lu Boyan had not mentioned the word âspyingâ, Su Jianâan would have almost forgotten about this matter.
He brought up the past. Su Jianâan found it unbelievable that he talked about his spying so naturally.
The most important thing was that although Lu Boyan was obviously somehow in the wrong, she still felt that he was gorgeous.
Su Jianâan blamed herself in her heart. âI canât believe I would let him go just because of his looks.â
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianâan, who was speechless. He smiled. His loving eyes gradually became gentle.
She tried to remain her posture. She took a deep breath, looked at him, and said, âYou donât need to spy anymore. Iâm right in front of you. Feel free to do whatever you want!â
Lu Boyan smiled brighter, and his eyes became a little ambiguous.
He lowered his head and whispered in Su Jianâanâs ear, âJianâan, I like the last part of your words very much.â
Su Jianâan didnât know what to say.
She thought for a moment and suddenly found that her last sentence was indeed easy to cause misunderstandings.
She glared at Lu Boyan and pretended to be angry. âWeâre not at home. Can you behave yourself?â
âSure.â Lu Boyan then changed the subject. âBut the premise is that I donât need to behave myself at all when I get home.â
Su Jianâan was speechless.
She knew that Lu Boyan would not easily agree to any of her requests.
She could only turn a deaf ear to him.
Half an hour later, Uncle Qian stopped the car, turned around, and said, âWeâve arrived at the restaurant.â
It was a very authentic western restaurant. Luo Xiaoxi picked it on a whim.
After dinner, the group of people came out of the restaurant.
Twilight had quietly fallen, the street lights and the car lights were on, and the cityâs fast pace had slowed down. Instead, there was a kind of casual atmosphere with a little ambiguity.
...
The driver of Su Yicheng had already driven the car over.
Su Jianâan held Lu Boyanâs hand and said, âBrother, you and Xiaoxi can go back first. Donât worry about us.â
The signs of Luo Xiaoxiâs pregnancy had become more and more obvious. In her words, she felt that she was about to be a complete slacker. She just wanted to eat and sleep. She only had enough energy to plan her personal brand when she was in a special state.
Su Jianâan used to be pregnant twice and knew this feeling, so she wanted Xiaoxi to go back to rest early.
Su Yicheng held Luo Xiaoxiâs hand and said, âCall me at any time if somethingâs up with Xiangyi.â
Su Jianâan pursed her lips and nodded. It was unknown if she was comforting herself or Su Yicheng. She said, âThe doctor said that Xiangyi is out of danger, and she should be fine.â
Su Yicheng didnât say anything more. He got in the car with Luo Xiaoxi and went home ahead of the others.
Su Yunjin checked the time and found that it was getting late. She instructed Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun something and then went back to the apartment with Xiao Guoshan.
Xiao Yunyun kicked out of boredom and said, âJianâan, everyone has gone back. Letâs go back to the hospital.â
Shen Yuechuan needed to go back to the hospital to rest, and Su Jianâan was also worried about Xiangyi being alone in the hospital. She replied, âOkay.â She got in the car and asked Uncle Qian to send them back to the hospital.
As soon as they arrived, Su Jianâan and Lu Boyan went straight back to the suite on the top floor.
...
Xiangyi was still sleeping, but she had changed her posture. It was unknown when she hid her hands in the quilt. Her sleeping face was quiet and well-behaved, which made people adore her.
Soon, the nurse came in and told Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan that Xiangyiâs attending doctor had arrived.
Su Jianâan felt nervous. She subconsciously grabbed Lu Boyanâs sleeve, walked out, and asked, âDoctor, whatâs going on with my daughter?â
âXiangyi is fine, Mrs. Lu. You donât need to be too nervous.â The doctor handed over a checkup report and said, âI just came to inform you that Xiangyi needs to stay in the hospital for observation tonight. If there is no problem, she can go home tomorrow. â
The doctor left the ward after that.
Su Jianâan breathed a sigh of relief, and she gradually calmed down. Then, she frowned, looked at Lu Boyan, and said, âXiyu is still at home. Should one of us go back?â
Xiangyi needed to be taken care of, and so did Xiyu. They could not completely hand over their children to Uncle Xu and the others.
No matter how well-equipped the security system in the hospital was, they felt the need to personally take care of Xiangyi.
Lu Boyan wasnât okay with Su Jianâan spending the night here, so he said, âYouâll go home. Iâll stay here to look after Xiangyi.â
Su Jianâan hesitated and refused. âYou need to go to the company tomorrowâ¦â
It took Lu Boyan a lot of energy to deal with a dayâs work.
If he stayed here to take care of Xiangyi, he would definitely not be able to have a good rest, and he would be very tired tomorrow.
Lu Boyan knew Su Jianâanâs concerns and kissed her on the forehead. âDonât worry about me. Iâll be worried if you stay here.â
Once he was worried about Su Jianâan, he would not be able to have a good rest either. It was better to let Su Jianâan go home so that he could sleep without worrying about her.
Su Jianâan knew why Lu Boyan was worried about her.
But she did not want to mention Kang Ruicheng.
The only thing she could do now was to follow Lu Boyanâs arrangement.
Su Jianâan nodded obediently. âI will go home then.â
Lu Boyan sent Su Jianâan to the gate of the hospital and arranged for a few people to follow her. He watched her car disappear from his sight and then turned to go upstairs.
Su Jianâan sat alone in the back seat of the car, and the seat next to her was empty. She suddenly felt a little unaccustomed to it.
Since the birth of her two kids, Lu Boyan had always accompanied her when she went out.
This seemed to be the first time they would be separated for a short time.
It was obviously a normal thing, but Su Jianâan felt lost, and her heart seemed to be empty.
âIâm doomed.
âMy dependence on Boyan seems to be too much.â
The car stopped at Dingya Villas. Uncle Qian called her twice. Only then did Su Jianâan realize that they had arrived. She hurriedly got out of the car and went home to get Xiyu.
Xiyu was quite obedient. He was held in Nanny Wuâs arms and was drinking milk.
Seeing Su Jianâan come back, Nanny Wu smiled and said, âMrs. Lu, you came back at the right time. We need to bathe Xiyu today. Uncle Xu has no experience, and Iâm afraid that I canât do it alone.â
Su Jianâan smiled, held Xiyu in her arms, kissed his little face, and said, âWeâll bathe him when he finishes drinking milk and has a rest.â
Xiyu found that someone else was hugging him, so he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Su Jianâan.
Su Jianâan smiled at the little boy and said hello to him, âMommy is back.â
Xiyu smiled, tilted his head in Su Jianâanâs arms, and leaned against her intimately.
Su Jianâan was full of happiness. She fed Xiyu milk, let him rest for a while, and then carried him into the bathroom.
Xiyu was not like ordinary children who were afraid of water. On the contrary, he liked water very much. Every time he took a shower, he had a good time. After the shower, he would be in a good mood. He would lie with Xiangyi and laugh when someone teased him, which was rare.
This time, after Su Jianâan bathed the little boy, she carried him back to his room to put on his clothes as usual. In the end, she put him on the baby bed and wanted to pamper him to sleep.
Xiyu turned his head and found that the baby bed next to him was empty. He pursed his lips and suddenly burst into tears.
Su Jianâan had thought that the little boy would sleep obediently, but she didnât expect to hear his cries and was caught off guard.
She was very distressed, but she didnât know how to deal with it for a moment. She could only pick up Xiyu and pamper him in a gentle voice in her arms.
