By the time Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan settled the two little kids down, the pointer on the clock on the wall was pointing to the number nine.
Lu Boyan took Su Jiananâs hand and asked, âAre you hungry?â
Su Jianâan had no appetite every time she had her period, but after a busy morning, she was really hungry.
She nodded, handed the two little kids to Aunt Liu, and went downstairs with Lu Boyan.
The chef had prepared breakfast, two sets of very authentic western-style breakfasts. She also prepared a plate of fruit for Su Jianâan.
Su Jianâan didnât have much appetite. She didnât eat much breakfast, but she ate a lot of fruit.
The fresh fruits at home were delivered every day, and it was a bit cold today. Lu Boyan considered that Su Jianan was feeling uncomfortable with her belly, so he did not want her to eat too much fruit.
However, Su Jianâan had no appetite for soybeans, roasted tomatoes, and the like on the plate. She looked at Lu Boyan pitifully and pleaded silently.
Lu Boyan could not bear to force Su Jianâan, so he finally compromised and said, âIâll ask the chef to make porridge for you tomorrow.â
âMm!â Su Jianâan happily ate a small piece of pomelo. âOkay!â
After the two finished breakfast, Mu Sijue and Bai Tang arrived.
Mu Sijue was still dressed in black, and his handsome face was aloof and serious. There was a faint murderous look in his every move.
He seemed to be born with a kind of indifference to others, like an emotionless cold-blooded animal.
No wonder Xu Youning didnât have the confidence to think that Mu Sijue would fall in love with her at that time.
However, Bai Tang was the one who surprised Su Jianâan.
She had thought that Bai Tang and Lu Boyan should be of the same age, but she did not expect that the young man was much younger than her husband.
Bai Tang seemed to be only 25 or 26 years old. He had curly flaxen hair and a very particular hairstyle. His facial features were delicate and emphatic. His skin was even fairer than that of an ordinary girl.
Bai Tang turned out to be a policeman with such an appearance.
The way he looked was a far cry from the image of the police that Su Jianâan was familiar with.
Bai Tang was wearing a casual suit and a pair of white sneakers. He looked neat and fashionable and had a good figure with slender legs and broad shoulders.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If he worked in the entertainment industry, he would be a popular handsome star.
If he was in the crowd, he would be a perfect Prince Charming.
Perhaps it was because he was young, Bai Tangâs handsome face had a wisp of arrogance, and it was very easy for others to associate him with a rebellious young man that refused to submit to others.
According to Su Jianâanâs experience, this kind of person either had extraordinary ability or an amazing background.
Coincidentally, Bai Tang had both.
Therefore, it was not surprising that he was cool, arrogant, and domineering.
Su Jianâan thought for a moment and felt that Yuechuan should be on guard against Bai Tang.
Yunyun tended to be infatuated with handsome men like Bai Tang.
What Su Jianâan didnât know was that while she was thinking about Bai Tang, he was also paying attention to her.
Bai Tang had been traveling around the world since high school, and his tracks covered most of the countries in the world.
He had seen all kinds of people, including some peerless beauties with amazing facial features and amazing figures.
However, it was the first time that he had seen a lady like Su Jianâan.
Su Jianâan was very beautiful. This could almost be recognized by most people.
However, in this era where science and technology were highly developed, beautiful appearances were not lacking.
What really stunned Bai Tang was that Su Jianâan was the kind of person who amazed people at first sight.
It was not only because of Su Jianâanâs exquisite facial features but also because of her neat and elegant temperament. She was noble but not aloof. Instead, she made people feel very close to her.
Bai Tang thought for a long time and finally came up with an appropriate way to describe Su Jianâan. She was a woman who would make people happy.
What he couldnât figure out was â how could such a beautiful woman as Su Jianâan be born in such an ordinary world.
After a moment of confusion, Bai Tang felt relieved.
God created Su Jianâan and Lu Boyan.
Perhaps only a man like Lu Boyan would be qualified to marry Su Jianâan.
Except for Lu Boyan, Bai Tang really couldnât think of anyone else who would be suitable to be with Su Jianâan.
In this way, it was reasonable for some media to describe Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan as a perfect match.
Thinking of this, Bai Tang couldnât help but show an expression of approval and nod.
Mu Sijue noticed that Bai Tang was absent-minded. He didnât need to guess to know that it was because of Su Jianâan.
Bai Tang had never seen Lu Boyan possessive of Su Jianâan, so he naturally did not know that if he was so absent-minded again, the next time he saw Su Jianâan would be decades later.
Mu Sijue elbowed Bai Tang and hit him in the ribs with a move.
Bai Tang was caught off guard and felt as if he had a side stitch while running. He covered his ribs in pain and screamed. He glared at Mu Sijue with hatred and asked in a low voice, âMu Qi, did you do it on purpose?â
âIdiot,â Mu Sijue said lightly, âI was trying to save you.â
âI donât need you to save me. You just did it on purpose!â Bai Tang glared fiercely at Mu Sijue. Immediately, he switched back to his usual romantic and handsome appearance and walked gracefully to Su Jianâan. âHey, nice to meet you. Iâm Bai Tang.â
âI know you.â Su Jianâan smiled, âBoyan has told me about the story of your name.â
Bai Tang was speechless.
Bai Tang thought that he had heard it wrong. âDid Su Jianâan say that Lu Boyan had told her the story of my name?
âThat is to say, she may find it funny.
...
âItâs not a big deal for those ordinary people to misunderstand something within, but Su Jianâan is gorgeous.
âI canât allow a gorgeous lady to misunderstand me!â
Bai Tang looked at Lu Boyan with a fake smile. âBoss Lu, youâre so busy, and yet you still find time to tell others about my name. I canât thank you enough.â
âYouâre welcome,â Lu Boyan said in a sarcastic tone. âI donât want Jianâan to misunderstand you because of your name.â
âHahahaâ¦â Bai Tang gave an awkward laugh. He then turned to look at Su Jianâan and explained, âItâs easy to misunderstand my name at first, but in fact, it has a wonderful meaning!â
Su Jianâan kept her smile and nodded. âI also know that.â
âYou even know this?â Bai Tang thought for a moment, looked at Su Jianâan seriously, and asked with great expectation, âHow much do you know about me?â
Su Jianâan didnât say anything.
She swore that she knew this much.
âBut why does Bai Tang ask this?â
Su Jianâan could not understand for a moment. She looked at Bai Tang in confusion and did not know what to say.
...
âJianâan, donât worry about him.â Lu Boyan took Su Jianâanâs hand and hid her behind him. He warned Bai Tang. âDonât try to get too close to my wife.â
âLu Boyan, youâre really mean!â Bai Tang was angry when he saw Lu Boyan. He said unwillingly, âI just heard from Yuechuan that you are in love with someone, so you donât get close to other women. I was wondering what kind of person could make an energetic young man like you so aloof. Now I know that if I have a girlfriend like Jianâan, I wouldnât love anyone else either!â
Lu Boyan smiled and said meaningfully, âMy wife also doesnât love anyone else.â
The implication was that Bai Tang could give up, and it was impossible for Su Jianâan to like him.
Bai Tang was still a proud young man, and he didnât believe what Lu Boyan said. He looked at Lu Boyan provocatively and said, âAre you sure? You didnât dare to make it public who you loved because you were afraid of having me as your rival.â
A mocking smile appeared on Lu Boyanâs face. âI knew Jianâan when she was ten years old. For so many years, I have never met an opponent.â
Bai Tang was shocked. âWhy?â
Su Jianâan was so beautiful. How could Lu Boyan have no opponents?
Lu Boyan said slowly, âThose people arenât a match for me at all.â
Only then did Bai Tang realize that it was not because Lu Boyan had never met an opponent before, but none of those people were worthy of being his rival in love.
Bai Tang had seen too much of Lu Boyanâs arrogance, so he was very familiar with it.
The sad thing was, he still had no way to crack it.
Bai Tang decided to turn to Su Jianâan and stretched out his hand to her, saying, âNice to meet you.â
Su Jianâan gently held Bai Tangâs hand and smiled. âNice to meet you too.â
Bai Tang looked at Su Jianâan, and countless skills of flirting came to his mind. He suddenly said, âI regret it now.â
Su Jianâan was surprised and asked with uncertainty, âDo you regret meeting me?â
Bai Tang let go of Su Jiananâs hand and looked at her thoughtfully. âMy dad said that you used to work in the Municipal Bureau. If I followed his arrangement and returned home immediately after graduation, maybe I could know you before you marry Boyan.â
Su Jianâan pretended not to understand the meaning of Bai Tangâs words and said with a smile, âWe can still be friends now.â
The implication was that no matter when she and Bai Tang met, they could only be friends.
Bai Tang was speechless.
He was extremely frustrated. He looked at Lu Boyan unwillingly and kept having a feeling that Lu Boyan was just pretending to be calm, but in fact, he must be very proud.
âThis is so annoying!â
Lu Boyan did not intend to pay any more attention to Bai Tang. He walked up to Su Jianâan and took her hand. âGo back to our bedroom and have a rest. Iâm going to the study to discuss something with Sijue.â
âIâm not tired.â Su Jianâan said, âShall I make some coffee for you guys?â
Usually, Lu Boyan would be very happy to hear that.
But today, he felt that Su Jianâan should rest.
âLeave that to Uncle Xu.â Lu Boyan told Su Jianâan, âItâs not appropriate for you to do any chores now. Go back to the bedroom and have a good rest.â
Su Jianâan was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable, but she could still move.
However, at this time, she didnât need to explain that to Lu Boyan. She nodded obediently and watched him take Mu Sijue and Bai Tang upstairs.
After Lu Boyan and the other two entered the study, Su Jianâan first went to check on Xiyu and Xiangyi.
The two little kids had been taken back to the childrenâs room by Aunt Liu, and they were both lying obediently on the baby beds.
Su Jianâan touched their faces and said, âBe good, and donât cry. Iâm going to make coffee for your daddy.â
Xiyu pouted and put his fist to his mouth. After a while, he seemed to suddenly think of something and obediently put down his hand. He looked at Su Jianâan with a pair of black eyes that were very similar to Lu Boyanâs for a moment.
âSee you in a while!â
Su Jianâan kissed the faces of the two little kids, turned around, went downstairs, and went straight into the kitchen.
She and Lu Boyan both liked coffee, and there was a complete set of coffee equipment at home. If they wanted to make a cup of coffee with good taste, they just needed a pack of nice coffee beans.
Su Jianâan skillfully operated the coffee machine and soon made three cups of coffee. She put them on a tray and took them to the second floor.
This time, Lu Boyan closed the studyâs door.
It seemed that the matter was more serious than she had imagined.
Uncle Xu saw Su Jianâan standing at the door of the study with coffee in her hands and could not help asking, âMadam, do you need any help?â
Su Jianâan looked at Uncle Xu and asked with some hesitation, âWill I disturb them if I go in now?â
The main reason why she had this concern was that she didnât know what Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were talking about in the study.
