The next day.
Lu Boyan woke up due to his biological clock. He opened his eyes, and looked subconsciously at the one he held in his armsâSu Jianan was still asleep.
He carefully released Su Jianan, and at that moment, he heard the phone vibrate slightly.
He took it to have a look; it was a message from Shen Yuechuan.
ââYou guessed the web link right.â
After clicking on the link behind the text, a piece of business news popped out.
âThe newly-appointed CEO of the Su Group took office today, revealing the mysterious identity.
The picture was a profile photo of Kang Ruicheng, a black and white style photo. By using effects of light and shadow, they made half of Kang Ruichengâs face sink into the dim light, and the other half dimly visible, which completely revealed his fortitude and bravery.
The reporter wrote that Kang Ruicheng had graduated from the Wharton School of Business and had very outstanding achievements on Wall Street. He was a high-profile Chinese-American financier. It was said that the act of Su Hongyuan poaching him and letting him take care of Su Enterprises might help the so-called ânursing homeâ create another decade of glory.
After watching the news, Lu Boyanâs eyes flashed with some coldness. His finger moved and the phone exited the news interface.
When Su Hongyuan announced that he would hire a professional manager to handle the Su Group, he had already guessed that the mysterious professional manager was Kang Ruicheng.
What he didnât guess was that Kang Ruicheng had really dared to fake his resume so perfectly.
Graduated from Wharton, the wolf of Wall Street... Oh, how many investors would be fooled?
However, Kang Ruicheng became the CEO of the Su Group, which was exactly what Lu Boyan wanted...
Su Jianan slept early the day before, so she had woken up that day a little earlier than usual. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Boyan sitting on the bed with his back to her and she pulled his sleeve. âHusband.â
Lu Boyan turned his head, the coldness in his eyes disappeared as soon as he saw Su Jianan, and he leaned over and kissed her on her forehead. âWant to get up?â
Su Jianan didnât want to lie on the bed today, she said âumâ, and was immediately lifted by Lu Boyan after she opened the quilt.
She leaned lazily and comfortably in his arms. âYouâll spoil me by doing this.â
Since returning, she had been attentively cared for by everyone, and if it continued like that, it wouldnât take long for her to become the most delicate pregnant woman in the world.
Lu Boyan was indifferent about it. âI like doing it.â
Anyway, in his life, he would only spoil Su Jianan.
Su Jianan didnât say anything, but she already had a sweet feeling.
Lu Boyan held Su Jianan and took her to the bathroom. When she brushed her teeth, Su Jianan suddenly retched and did not spit out anything, but her stomach was uncomfortable.
Even if there was no danger, Lu Boyanâs nerves were still tense, and he quickly took Su Jianan back to the room and asked her to lie down; he even didnât want her to go downstairs, and asked Aunt Liu to bring her breakfast.
âIâm really fine.â
In order to prove that she did not lie, Su Jianan ate up the breakfast that Aunt Liu had brought over, but did not dare to drink milk. Aunt Liu asked the chef to squeeze her a cup of red jujube soya-bean milk.
Lu Boyan was still uneasy. âIâll stay with you at home.â In case Su Jianan vomited again, he could do something as soon as possible.
When Su Jianan was trying to say something, the mobile phone suddenly rang at that moment and was connected. It was Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun hesitated to ask, âCousin, has your husband gone to work?â
Su Jianan glanced at Lu Boyan and asked in amazement. âNot yet. Whatâs wrong?â
âItâs nothing, I just ...â After a long struggle, Xiao Yunyun said truthfully, âI just want to ask how Shen Yuechuan was. When he sent me back last night, he didnât seem very comfortable. He said it was because he didnât have a good rest since he was busy.â
âSo... do you want Boyan not to arrange so much work for Yuechuan?â Su Jianan smiled in a ridiculous way.
âUh, no! âI just...â Xiao Yunyun subconsciously denied, but finally couldnât explain what she wanted to say, so she chose to be a tortoise. âToday I entered the operating room for the first time. I have a lot of preparations to do, I need to go!â
Xiao Yunyun hung up the phone as if she were escaping to save her life, but Su Jianan was not in a hurry, and she looked like she was in a very good mood.
âYunyunâs call?â Lu Boyan asked.
Su Jianan nodded and asked, âIs Yuechuan busier than you recently?â
âWell,â Lu Boyan said, âThere was something that I couldnât deal with in person and needed him to handle it.â
âYunyun said that he seemed uncomfortable when driving home yesterday,â Su Jianan just took the opportunity to persuade Lu Boyan, âYou go to work. If Yuechuan is really uncomfortable, give him a vacation.â She paused and said seriously, âYuechuan is likely to be your future brother-in-law, donât let him get tired.â
Lu Boyan frowned, and looked at Su Jianan, displeased. âYou only care about your future brother-in-law?â
Hey, Boss Lu was jealous!
Su Jianan touched his short black hair. âI feel sorrier for you, donât be too tired.â
Lu Boyan then loosened his tight eyebrows and kissed Su Jiananâs lips. âDonât hang in here if you are uncomfortable, call me.â
Su Jianan nodded obediently, but Lu Boyan didnât believe she would be so obedient, and told Aunt Liu again before leaving the house.
After arriving at the company, Shen Yuechuan was already in the office, and Lu Boyan knocked on the glass door.
No matter how close they were in private, there was still a boss-subordinate relationship in the company, and everything still followed the rules. Therefore, Lu Boyan usually called Shen Yuechuan into the office, and rarely knocked on Shen Yuechuanâs office door.
Shen Yuechuan thought it was his assistant and said without looking up, âCome in.â
As soon as the door opened and heard the steady and powerful footsteps, Shen Yuechuan immediately knew that it was Lu Boyan. He looked up in surprise, âI had not seen you; by nine oâclock I thought you were going to stay with your wife.â
Lu Boyan didnât bother with Shen Yuechuanâs teasing. âYunyun said you were uncomfortable yesterday, was it so?â
âIâm not comfortable?â Shen Yuechuan thought for a moment, and remembered the dizziness when he was on the highway yesterday. He smiled improperly and said, âI didnât have a good rest. It would be fine after I take a good sleep. But... why would Xiao Yunyun tell you this?â
Lu Boyan raised eyebrows. âShe called Jianan and asked me to arrange less work for you.â
â...â Shen Yuechuanâs first reaction was that Lu Boyan was joking.
However, the possibility of Lu Boyan making jokes seemed to be as high as the chance of him being hit by a meteorite falling from the sky.
Shen Yuechuan was stunned.
Lu Boyan hooked his lips and said, âMaybe it wonât be long before you call me brother-in-law.â
After speaking, Lu Boyan walked out of the office, leaving Shen Yuechuan alone to face the cold wind in winter.
Over the past few years, he and Lu Boyan had been busy working on average for more than 12 hours a day in a year, and they both had some minor problems physically. For example, Lu Boyan had suffered from stomach problems.
But as long as it did not affect their work, they would barely care about those illnesses and minor pains, and did not have that kind of time to pay attention.
As for the sudden dizziness felt on the previous day, compared with the usual headache, it was not a problem at all.
But Xiao Yunyun took it down and called Su Jianan.
Looking at Xiao Yunyunâs anxious expression that day, Shen Yuechuan thought she was afraid she would be affected by a car accident, but he didnât expect her to really worry about him.
She still had some conscience.
Somehow, Shen Yuechuan suddenly felt so good that he finished work at the fastest speed. Then, he waved his hands after work and said, âLetâs go for dinner, itâs on me!â
The secretary-assistants of the entire presidentâs office cheered for joy. When they were about to leave, Lu Boyan stopped Shen Yuechuan.
Shen Yuechuan placed his hands in his pants pockets, and walked casually towards Lu Boyan. âWeâre off work, donât tell me you wonât go home to accompany your wife today, and will have dinner with us?â
âYou canât have that dinner today,â Lu Boyan said, âSomething happened to Yunyun at the hospital. You go and have a check.â
âWhat is it?â Shen Yuechuanâs tone suddenly became somber, âIs it serious?â
âMedical disturbance,â Lu Boyan said, âShe canât handle it alone, and Yicheng has no time. Later, she called Jianan, now you should go there immediately.â
âI see.â
Shen Yuechuan turned and ran into the elevator. Several colleagues were discussing whether to eat Japanese or Thai food. He apologized and smiled, âI need to work overtime. Todayâs meal is on me. You can eat whatever you want, and Iâll pay for that.â
âWhy do you need to work overtime? Wasnât everything done today?â Shen Yuechuan was a master at regulating the atmosphere. There would be laughter whenever he was at a dinner. The colleagues all regretted and asked, âCan you deal with it tomorrow?â
Shen Yuechuan shrugged, âBoss Luâs order. I have to deal with it immediately.â
They heard that it was Lu Boyanâs order, and the secretaries and assistants suddenly went silent; they could only watch Shen Yuechuan drive away with regret.
Shen Yuechuanâs goal was the 8th Peopleâs Hospital, and at that time, Xiao Yunyun who was in the hospital was distracted.
She worked in cardiac surgery. That department usually treated critically ill patients. She had not been there long but had seen more than a dozen patients and their families separated from each other by death.
But she didnât expect that she would see death so closely and so soon.
At noon, she entered the operating room for the first time. Of course, she was not the main surgeon, but was there to do some work such as disinfection and some minor works. The doctor who took her there wanted to make her adapt to the operating environment as soon as possible.
The operation was performed on a critically ill patient. If the operation was successful, he might live another five or six years, but the success rate of the operation was only 25%.
The family lost the bet. The patientâs body manifested a severe rejection during the operation, which caused the operation to fail and the patient died.
Xiao Yunyun was stunned at the time, and recorded the time of death at the doctorâs request. In the end, the surgeon even asked her to stitch the patientâs incision.
She didnât know how she finished the suture. She only remembered when she went out and told the patientâs family members about the bad result from surgery. The family members suddenly lost control, and they rushed up like human beasts and demanded for them to bring the patientâs life back.
During that long internship, Xiao Yunyun and several interns watched no less than 30 surgeries, and also saw cases of failure, but the patient died in an instant; it was unprecedented, and she no longer waited and saw through a layer of glass. She was in the operating room at the time, but she was powerless as a doctor.
Her inexplicable guilt prevented her from explaining, but the patientâs daughter mistakenly thought that she had a bad attitude and pushed her hard. She momentarily stumbled because of it, then fell over the row of chairs; her forehead swelled and began to bleed. Then the family finally stopped.
At the time she was about to leave work at five oâclock, her family suddenly brought a banner with a bunch of people, blocking her way...
