With Su Yunjinâs consent, Xiao Yunyun began preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam with her whole heart.
In preparation for the exam, as well as the work in the hospital, Xiao Yunyun was so busy that she almost had no time for herself. When she needed to work overtime, she even wished that one more day could be added up to 48 hours.
After a few days like this, Su Jianâan and Luo Xiaoxi soon found out that they couldnât find Xiao Yunyun even if they called. When they sent messages to her, it always took Xiao Yunyun a long time to reply and sometimes it even took a whole day before she replied.
âSomethingâs wrong.â Luo Xiaoxi thoughtfully looked at the chat box with Xiao Yunyun on WeChat. âWeâve also taken the postgraduate entrance exam but we were not so busy! She doesnât even have time to send me an emoji?â
Su Jianâan thought about it and said meaningfully, âMaybe... Maybe she wants to be so busy.â
Sometimes, being busy all the time was the best way to escape from some things.
Luo Xiaoxi had not used this method, so she did not understand Su Jianâanâs meaning. She raised her eyebrows and asked, âIn that case, Yunyun has a tendency to torture herself?â
Su Jianâan, â...â Yunyun was wronged...
Luo Xiaoxi waved her hand. âLetâs not talk about that silly girl. Letâs talk about you. Are you going to the hospital for delivery soon?â
As a matter of fact, Su Jianâan was only five days away from delivering the baby. All the people in the Lu Family were highly nervous and they were like fully armed soldiers, waiting for the horn to sound and rush to the battlefield.
Su Jianâan was the only one who was not concerned. However, the closer the delivery date was, the more relaxed she became. Not only did she show no signs of nervousness on her face, but she also looked like she had nothing to do with it.
In addition, Su Jianâan also felt that she didnât need to go to the hospital to wait for the delivery. She shook her head and said to Luo Xiaoxi, âI donât want to go to the hospital in advance.â
Her worst memories took place in the hospital.
Her mother had left her in the hospital forever. During the period of time after she was forced to divorce Lu Boyan, she had spent almost every day in the hospital.
And she had almost lost her two children in the hospital.
Although the hospital was not at fault, after so many things happened, Su Jianâan really could not develop a good impression of the hospital.
âYou donât want to go?â Luo Xiaoxi thought for a moment and what she said hit the key issue. âDoes Boss Lu agree?â
âEh...â Su Jianâan touched the tip of her nose. âBased on how nervous he is right now, I think... he probably wonât agree.â
Luo Xiaoxi uttered an âOhâ. Then, she had an expression of âI understandâ. âYou havenât discussed this matter yet, have you?â
After saying this, Luo Xiaoxi looked at the time. Believing that Lu Boyan should be almost home, she picked up her bag to leave. âThen you take your time to discuss, Iâll leave first!â
Su Jianâan couldnât stop Luo Xiaoxi even if she wanted to. She could only watch her fly away.
âSheâs not at all reliable!â
She wanted Luo Xiaoxi to stay and help her persuade Lu Boyan!
Facts had proven that Luo Xiaoxi was more and more farsighted. Not long after she left, Lu Boyanâs car arrived at the gate of the house.
In the past half month, unless there was a social engagement that could not be put off, Lu Boyan always went home early. Even if there was a job that had not been handled properly, then he would bring it home.
Everyone in the company knew Su Jianâanâs expected delivery date was imminent. They all expressed their understanding of Lu Boyan and gave Shen Yuechuan a sympathetic look at the same time.
It should be noted that Lu Boyan could go to work on time was all due to Shen Yuechuan working overtime.
Su Jianâan expected Lu Boyan to tell her about going to the hospital. So, she ran to the door to help Lu Boyan take the slippers, but it was inconvenient for her to do so with her pregnancy. Lu Boyan held her and softly said, âIâll do it.â
Su Jianâan did not force him. She straightened her back and smiled at Lu Boyan. âAre you thirsty? Do you want something to drink? I just saw a way to make fruit tea on the Internet. The taste should be very good. Do you want to have a try?â
Lu Boyan changed into his slippers and stood up. His eyes were filled with love, âDonât enter the kitchen. It can be dangerous.â
Su Jianâan wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Lu Boyan interrupted her.
âCome with me. I have something to discuss with you.â
Lu Boyanâs voice was gentle, but there was an undeniable force in his voice. Su Jianâan followed him obediently.
The two of them went to the sofa in the living room.
Lu Boyan naturally sat down but found that Su Jianâan was still standing in front of him. He frowned and was about to ask what happened when she rushed to him and said, âI donât want to go!â
This sentence came without any head or heels. Others might not know what Su Jianâan was talking about but Lu Boyan understood at once.
Lu Boyan folded his long legs lazily and fell onto the sofa in a very relaxed gesture. He looked at Su Jianâan with a sly look and said, âYou know what I want to tell you.â
âOf course I know!â Su Jianâan emphasized each word one by one. âMy answer is that I donât want to go!â
Lu Boyan raised his brows unsurprisingly. âYou just helped with bringing my slippers and you wanted to make me fruit tea. Are you trying to bribe me?â
Su Jianâan curled down the corners of her mouth unhappily. âIn the end, I still failed...â
Lu Boyanâs lips could not help raising slightly. He patted the empty seat next to him and said, âCome here.â
Su Jianâan did not move forward. Instead, she took a step back. âNo! Unless you promise me that you wonât take me to the hospital ahead of time.â
Lu Boyan helplessly got up and walked to Su Jianâan and held her hands. âJianâan, for your safety and that of the babyâs, you need to go to the hospital in advance for delivery.â
âBut ninety-five percent of pregnant women in the world go to the hospital only when they are about to deliver!â Su Jianâan tried hard to pretend that she didnât understand. âI am not a very special pregnant woman. Why should I go to the hospital in advance to have a baby? That is a waste of medical resources!â
âThe hospital belongs to our family. It would not be a waste to use our own resources,â Lu Boyan said when there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. âHowever, that data of âninety-five percentâ, where did you get it? Is it authorized?â
âIt isnât an analyzed result from a professional agency!â Su Jianâan said righteously, âItâs my guess! Do you think it is authoritative?â
Like now, once Su Jianâan became nervous, she would play rogue with Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan looked at her and laughed. âJianâan, donât act like that.â
âWhat did I do?â Su Jianâan looked innocent and it was obvious that she wanted to continue playing rogue.
Lu Boyanâs hand clenched into a fist and he placed it against his face. He looked at Su Jianâan and said, âI know why you donât want to go to the hospital. Jianâan, I promise you that nothing bad will happen to you after you go to the hospital this time. You just need to stay there for a few days and wait for the birth of our children. Donât be afraid, please?â
â...â Su Jianâan lowered her eyes and did not speak. It seemed that she was going to avoid the question.
âJianâan,â Lu Boyanâs voice was as light as a spring breeze on his cheeks. âDonât you believe me?â
Su Jianâan definitely believed Lu Boyan.
However, her trust in Lu Boyan could not eliminate her repulsion to the hospital, not to mention that this kind of repulsion was garnered over many years.
Su Jianâan bit her lips and looked up at Lu Boyan pitifully. âHoney, do I really have to go?â
Squinting his eyes, Lu Boyan said in a very firm tone, âUh huh.â
The pitiful look in Su Jianâanâs eyes disappeared in an instant. She was like a defeated little animal. Frustrated, as she shrugged down on her shoulders. She obviously had a belly full of dissatisfaction but she could not find an outlet.
Having been with Lu Boyan for so long, she had already known the way to test his bottom line. If he still did not give in when she looked as pathetic as she did just now, then maybe there really was no way to negotiate on the matter.
In other words, she had to go to the hospital in advance.
Seeing Su Jianâan like this, Lu Boyan wasnât completely unmoved. But on this matter, he couldnât let Su Jianâan be capricious.
Lu Boyan pressed Su Jianâanâs shoulder and asked her to sit down. After thinking for a moment, he said, âSu Jianâan, although the test results in the past few months are normal, donât forget that you vomited very hard at the beginning. Your condition is not great.â
â...â Su Jianâan pursed her lips and could not refute Lu Boyanâs words.
Lu Boyan held Su Jianâanâs hand and promised her calmly. âAfter you enter the hospital, I wonât let you stay there alone. So, you should be obedient and go there tomorrow, okay?â
Su Jianâan was a little moved. âDoes Mom also think that I should go to the hospital in advance for the delivery?â
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. âShe just called to ask me about it.â
For other things, Tang Yulan would directly discuss with Su Jianâan. The reason why she asked Lu Boyan this time was because she knew that Su Jianâan didnât like hospitals and that she didnât want to give Su Jianâan any pressure.
But it was exactly because of this that Su Jianâan felt even more pressure.
She looked at Lu Boyan with a face of despondency. âSo I have to go to the hospital to wait for the delivery?â
Lu Boyan caressed Su Jianâanâs head like he was comforting an uneasy child. âDonât be afraid. Iâll stay by your side till you leave the hospital.â
Su Jianâan closed her eyes and summoned up the courage to go. âWhen will we go?â
âTomorrow,â Lu Boyan said. âTell Aunt Liu to pack up today and we will go there tomorrow.â
âDo you have to hurry so much?â Su Jianâan held Lu Boyanâs waist and made the final struggle. âCanât you wait for just one more day?â
âWe will leave tomorrow morning at ten oâclock. There are still 15 hours left.â Lu Boyan looked at ease. âSo, we are not in a hurry at all. You donât have to worry.â
â...â Su Jianâan was completely defeated. She sighed and fell into Lu Boyanâs arms.
Lu Boyan hugged Su Jianâan helplessly and kissed the top of her head. âCome on. When you get out from the hospital, I will give you a reward.â
The fact that she was going to stay in the hospital was so mortifying that Su Jianâan didnât anticipate Lu Boyanâs reward at all. She coyly said, âWell, there is one more thing. We havenât thought of a name for a boy. What if they are both boys?â
âNo rush,â Lu Boyan said with a seemingly unhurried look on his face. âPerhaps weâll be able to think of a good name when theyâre born.â
