Su Jianan simply watched Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun quarrel in silence, not interrupting at all. Then after the meal, she lightly said,
âYuechuan, please help me to take Yunyun back. âItâs late now. Itâs not safe for her to go home by taxi.â
Shen Yuechuan could still feel the pain in the liver and subconsciously asked, âWhy me?â
Su Jianan smiled with an uncertain meaning, âBecause you know the way.â
You know the way. The four words had no special meaning but they sounded differently when said by Su Jianan like that. Still, it was an undeniable fact.
Both Shen Yuechuanâs and Xiao Yunyunâs faces looked unnatural.
Luo Xiaoxi saw the situation and decided to leave first. She stood up and said, âI have to go back first.â
âSis!â
Xiao Yunyun wanted to give Luo Xiaoxi a hint that she wanted to have a ride in her car. Luo Xiaoxi saw through her idea and pointed at her watch. âYou cousin is waiting for me at home.â
â...â Luo Xiaoxiâs refusal was perfect. Xiao Yunyun had no other choice.
After seeing Luo Xiaoxi off, Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan and said, âIâm a bit tired.â
Lu Boyan knew what Su Jianan was thinking about without guessing. He held her hand and said, âWe can go back to the room to have some rest.â At the same time, he reminded Shen Yuechuan, âDonât forget to take Yunyun home.â
Then, they ignored Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyunâs reactions and went upstairs.
After closing the door, a naughty smile showed up by Su Jiananâs lips. At the same time, she felt a bit troubled, âIs it okay... our behavior?â
The current Lu Boyan could do anything just to make Su Jianan happy.
He pulled Su Jianan to sit on the couch and said reasonably, âYou are making a chance for them. What can be wrong with that?â
Su Jianan thought for a while and nodded. âI think youâre right!â Then she stopped thinking about the question; she took her clothes to the bathroom and had a shower.
Downstairs, Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan were still staring at each other.
After their last experience, Xiao Yunyun knew it would be impossible for her to ask for a taxi unless she wanted to get mutilated.
But she was unwilling to get in Shen Yuechuanâs car...
âYouâre really that unwilling?â Shen Yuechuan crossed his arms before his chest and looked casually at Xiao Yunyun. âDo you know how many girls wish to get in my car?â
Xiao Yunyun pouted, âTheyâre willing to ride on a stud. What can I do about it?â
Shen Yuechuan, â...â F**k!
Xiao Yunyun casually added, âOr maybe someone hides himself too deeply and looks too decent, so they canât see clearly!â
Shen Yuechuan had been in the business field for so many years and had heard much worse verbal abuse. Xiao Yunyunâs words didnât harm him in the slightest.
But he still expressed his dissatisfaction and looked at Xiao Yunyun with something in mind. âYour mouth...â
Before he finished his words, Xiao Yunyun was unwittingly reminded about the kiss on the island.
She had recently been avoiding that scene, stopping herself from recalling that moment.
Until then she finally realized that she had remembered all of it so clearlyâ
Shen Yuechuanâs strength, the temperature of his lips, his breath when he kissed her... everything related to him appeared in front of her eyes.
All of a sudden, Xiao Yunyunâs face was totally flushed. She stared at Shen Yuechuan and suddenly scolded him, âYou are a rogue!â Then, she turned around and ran out. Shen Yuechuan was the only one left in the living room.
What confused Shen Yuechuan was... why was he called a rogue when he didnât do anything?
What? An unexpected accusation?
Depressed, Shen Yuechuan stepped outside. He found Xiao Yunyun had run with no signs of stopping.
He walked faster, then he got in the car and drove over to stop her.
Shen Yuechuan was driving a black Land Rover that day. It was a giant to Xiao Yunyun who was petite. Although she was unhappy, she had no other choice.
Shen Yuechuan opened the door and handsomely got out. He made a gesture to Xiao Yunyun. âGet in.â
â...â Xiao Yunyun turned around and had no reaction to Shen Yuechuanâs words.
She was not the Husky Shen Yuechuan raised, why did she have to follow his orders?
Seeing that Xiao Yunyun didnât budge an inch, Shen Yuechuan knew her bad-temper had appeared. He caught her hand and pushed her to the seat.
Ordinarily, Xiao Yunyun was resistant to having body contact with unfamiliar males. As for Shen Yuechuan, she wasnât that resistant. But in that occasion, she really wouldnât.
In a hurry, Xiao Yunyun fiercely struggled and said, âLet me go, I can move by myself!â
Shen Yuechuan stopped for a moment. Then he lifted his eyebrows to look at Xiao Yunyun and asked intentionally, âReally?â
â...â
Xiao Yunyun then realized her words could easily cause a misunderstanding. And Shen Yuechuan, the rogue, misunderstood on purpose.
She angrily kicked Shen Yuechuan, âAs a reminder, you have lost your face!â
Although not too heavy, her kick was not light. Shen Yuechuan moved the leg that had been kicked. âJust kidding. You should control your temper.â
âI wonât marry you. My bad temper is none of your business!â Xiao Yunyun stared at Shen Yuechuan angrily.
Shen Yuechuan groaned, âThatâs difficult to say.â
â...â
It took Xiao Yunyun quite a while to understand what he said. Shen Yuechuan meant she could possibly marry him.
Before she could understand the strange feeling inside, she patted on Shen Yuechuanâs hand holding the door. âPsycho, get away from me!â Then she fiercely closed the door.
But she couldnât stop her fast heartbeat.
Xiao Yunyun pretended to be calm and at the same time she felt ashamed of herselfââshe knew Shen Yuechuan was skilled at flirting. Why was she still so easily affected by him?
Outside of the car, Shen Yuechuan still kept leaning backwards.
If he hadnât moved quickly, the door of the car would have got him. Xiao Yunyun had great strength packed within such a slender body.
He adjusted his hair in the rearview mirror. Then he went around and got on the driverâs seat.
He naturally started the car and drove it in the direction of Xiao Yunyunâs apartment. But Xiao Yunyun still felt uncomfortable because of what he said.
They were in the same car, but their seats were in two different worlds.
Xiao Yunyun just wanted to find something else to do to distract herself when the cellphone rang. She answered it without taking a look. âHello?â
âYunyun, itâs mom.â She heard the voice of a middle-aged woman on the phone. âYou havenât gone to sleep yet?â
âNo, I was just heading back after visiting my cousin.â Xiao Yunyun lowered the window and looked outside. âMom, whatâs wrong?â She knew her mother very well, so she could feel the strangeness in her voice.
Her mother stopped for a minute and then answered, âNothing. I just wanted to tell you that I will be in City A in tomorrowâs flight which will arrive at 8 pm.â
âIâll pick you up tomorrow!â Xiao Yunyun said happily, âYouâre here for my cousinâs wedding, right?â
âYes, and...â Her mother obviously had something else to say but she didnât continue. âForget it. I will tell you when I arrive in City A.â
âMom, is anything wrong?â Xiao Yunyun nervously held the phone tighter. âWhat about dad?â
âYou father and I are fine. Donât worry.â Her mother helplessly sighed. âItâs a bit complicated. Iâll tell you the details when I see you.â
Xiao Yunyun felt relieved when she knew her parents were safe. She said, âSee you tomorrow.â
By then, Xiao Yunyun, who had never experienced big difficulties, would be soon faced with something she thought that it would happen to her, no matter if she could accept it or not.
Shen Yuechuan who sat beside her could feel Xiao Yunyunâs nervousness. After she hung up the phone, he leaned over to look at her. âWhatâs the matter?â
âNothing.â Xiao Yunyun said, âMy mother will be here tomorrow, to attend my cousinâs wedding.â
Shen Yuechuan lifted his eyebrows, which meant he understood. Then he hit on the accelerator and sped up.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just like Su Jianan said, Shen Yuechuan was familiar with taking Xiao Yunyun back to her home. Soon, the car reached her apartment.
Xiao Yunyun unlocked the safety belt and said âThank youâ before she got out of the car.
Shen Yuechuan was greatly surprised. âYou said thank you?â
It meant that Xiao Yunyun hadnât been that polite in the past.
Xiao Yunyun knew Shen Yuechuan said it on purpose. She bit her teeth and gave him a look of contempt. âI was just being a bit polite to you. Donât be so serious about it. Bye!â
Then she angrily got out of the car and went home.
Shen Yuechuan sat in the car and looked at Xiao Yunyunâs annoyed figure. He couldnât help smiling.
After so many years with Lu Boyan, he had seen many girls. He had had real emotions with some of them. But after the freshness, the love simply disappeared. To the rest of them, he was just having fun.
Occasionally, his mood was bothered by those girls. But no one was like Xiao Yunyun, whom he just wanted to kid with. Only her slight cat-like reactions could make him smile.
Shen Yuechuan knew it wasnât a good sign.
But he didnât know how to make himself stop.
In his mind, he might start to have feelings similar to those Lu Boyan felt.
A few years before, Lu Boyan watched Su Jiananâs every move and secretly helped her. But he never dared to let her find out about his existence.
He saw it and felt his tiredness but Lu Boyan just said, âI canât help it.â
He had finally understood. He really couldnât help it.
He couldnât help feeling the desire to meet her. He couldnât help making every piece of himself to relate to her. He couldnât help focusing his eyes on her when she didnât notice...
He couldnât help calling her name. Just like this, he was already happy, but not satisfied.
Shen Yuechuan lit up a cigarette and smoked in the car.
It must be the fact that he laughed at Lu Boyan too boldly. Karma was knocking on his door right then.
But, he couldnât do anything about it.
