After the birth of the two little guys, Su Jianâan was not as relaxed as when she was pregnant.
Although she had Aunt Liu and Tang Yulan to help her, she was still exhausted after a dayâs business.
So she hadnât had trouble sleeping for a long time.
That night, she rolled around and tried several different positions, but she still couldnât fall asleep.
Lu Boyan held her in his arms and asked in a low voice, âWhatâs wrong?â
âI donât know.â Su Jianâanâs beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of confusion. âI just canât go to sleep.â As she said this, she wanted to turn over again.
Lu Boyan took the initiative and trapped Su Jianâanâs hands and feet. His legs were long, which make it easier for him to limit Su Jianâanâs movement immediately.
âUm...â Su Jianâan struggled for a moment and protested discontentedly.
âDonât move.â Lu Boyan warned her and his tone sounded dangerous. âOtherwise, you know the consequences.â
Su Jianâan had experienced the consequences of moving more than one time.
She froze and closed her eyes almost subconsciously. She was as obedient as a cat.
Lu Boyan did not scare her anymore. He just hugged her more tightly.
Su Jianâan could not deny that she could be at ease in Lu Boyanâs arms.
It was as if a voice had quietly told her that as long as she was by Lu Boyanâs side, there was nothing to be afraid of, let alone a little change in her life.
Su Jianâan fell asleep miraculously.
...
The next day.
The autumn sun was particularly bright, shining into the room through the pure-colored curtain. Without the heat of summer, it made people feel comfortable.
Tang Yulan came earlier than usual. Aunt Liu was a bit surprised and said, âMadam, Mr. and Mrs. Lu havenât woken up yet.â
âItâs okay. Let them sleep a little longer.â Tang Yulan said with a smile, âIâll go and have a look at Xiangyi and Xiyu.â
The two little guys had woken up. They held milk bottles and drank the milk quickly. Both of them were very cute.
When Xiangyi saw her grandmother, she hummed. Then she loosened the pacifier and smiled at Tang Yulan.
Tang Yulan was instantly happier than when she saw anything else. She picked up Xiangyi and kissed her over and over again. âWhat a lovely baby!â
Xiyu had probably inherited Lu Boyanâs character. He had been as calm as an adult after coming to this world for a month. He held the milk bottle as if there was nothing in the mortal world that could arouse his interest.
Tang Yulan put down Xiangyi and asked Nanny Wu to feed her milk. Then she picked up Xiyu.
Since the action of drinking milk was interrupted, Xiyu protested unhappily. Tang Yulan hurriedly picked up the milk bottle and fed it to him again. The little fellow finally stopped wrinkling and continued to drink milk in Tang Yulanâs arms.
Tang Yulan patted the little fellow on the shoulder, thought for a moment, and said, âItâs also good to be like your father.â
As for the two little guys, Xiangyi was already lively enough. It was not a bad thing for Xiyu to be more thoughtful.
At this time, Su Jianâan pushed open the childrenâs room door and came in. She was very surprised to see Tang Yulan. âMom, why are you here so early today?â
Tang Yulan stroked Xiyuâs face. âWhen I remembered that these two little guys are one month old, I was so excited that I couldnât fall asleep. So I woke up early in the morning.â
Su Jianâan walked over and played with Xiyu. The little guy just smiled at her, not like Xiangyi, who would wave and kick every time she saw Su Jianâan.
Su Jianâan couldnât help but ask, âMom, does Xiyu look like Boyan in his childhood?â
âTheyâre exactly the same!â Tang Yulan said with a smile, âWhen Boyan was a child, he didnât like being held by others and rarely cried. He was very adorable. Even the doctor said that Boyan was the one who didnât like to cry the most.â
â...â
âWasnât she describing Xiyu?!â
In fact, not only his character but also Xiyuâs appearance looked like a mini version of Lu Boyan.
Su Jianâan thought, âThe little guy will attract a lot of girls after he grows up!â
Tang Yulan seemed to suddenly think of something and asked Su Jianâan seriously, âHow are your preparations for the full-moon party tonight coming along?â
Su Jianâan looked relaxed. âItâs just going to the hotel to meet a few people. The dress was sent here yesterday, and the rest... I donât have anything to prepare for.â
âDonât be careless!â Tang Yulan warned, âThere are so many pairs of eyes looking at you. The mediaâs eyes are more vicious than anyone elseâs eyes. They can make a fuss about anything. Keep in mind that you canât be defeated by anyone else!â
Su Jianâan couldnât help laughing. âMom, donât worry. Think about it, when did I ever lose?â
Tang Yulan thought about it and agreed.
Before Han Ruoxi entered the drug rehabilitation center, Su Jianâanâs opponent was her, who was a recognized goddess.
When facing Han Ruoxi, Su Jianâan did not lose. Today, she should not be defeated by anyone.
Tang Yulan finally felt relieved and said, âLook at Xiyu and Xiangyi. Iâll go downstairs for a while.â
After leaving the childrenâs room, Tang Yulan did not go downstairs. Instead, she went to knock on the door of the master bedroom.
Lu Boyan guessed that it should be Tang Yulan. When he opened the door, his guess proved to be right.
âI have something to ask you.â Tang Yulan went straight to the point. âIs it convenient?â
Lu Boyan opened the door and let Tang Yulan in. âMom, whatâs wrong?â
Tang Yulanâs face suddenly became serious. âI donât surf the Internet. But yesterday, someone told me that there was a scandal between you and a girl surnamed Xia. What the hell is going on? Have you explained it to Jianâan?â
Judging from Tang Yulanâs tone, she seemed to be seeking justice for Su Jianâan.
Lu Boyan couldnât help laughing. âMom, what did others say to you about it?â
âThere are all kinds of things!â Tang Yulan was angry. âEveryone seems to be telling the truth. If I didnât know you, I would have believed their words!â
Lu Boyan was silent for half a second. âItâs been a few days. Did Jianâan mention it to you?â
Tang Yulan shook her head. âNever. Jianâan knows about this?â
âYes.â Lu Boyan didnât deny. âShe knew it from the beginning.â
Unexpectedly, Tang Yulan was even angrier. âJianâan definitely didnât tell me about it because she doesnât want me to be worried! Now tell me what the hell is going on?!â
Lu Boyan comforted Tang Yulan and then explained everything to her, proving that he had nothing to do with Xia Mili except for cooperating with her.
Tang Yulan was still confused. âSince there is nothing going on between you two, why are there so many rumors on the Internet?â
There was a hint of helplessness in Lu Boyanâs tone. âMom, I canât control what others say on the Internet.â
Tang Yulan thought about it and understood. When a fake rumor was widespread, it would soon become plausible. It was the same as the gossip between the friends who played cards with her.
Lu Boyan was her son. If she didnât believe her son, should she believe the words of those strangers on the Internet?
Seeing the doubt in Tang Yulanâs eyes gradually disappear, Lu Boyan added, âJianâan didnât tell you since, on the one hand, she was afraid that you would be worried. But on the other hand, I had already explained it to her before it happened.â
Tang Yulan nodded. âItâs fine as long as you donât do anything bad. Otherwise, I will be the first one to accuse you!â
Tang Yulan didnât go downstairs until she finished warning Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan changed his clothes and went to the baby room next door.
Su Jianâan looked at his helpless face and asked in confusion, âWhatâs wrong?â
â...â
Lu Boyan felt even more speechless.
How could he tell Su Jianâan that Tang Yulan had just threatened him because of her?
Su Jianâan had already understood something. She pursed her lips and tried not to laugh. âMom didnât go downstairs. She has talked to you, hasnât she?â
âMm,â Lu Boyan said. His voice sounded a little stuffy.
Su Jianâan had already guessed what Tang Yulan had said to Lu Boyan, and the smile on her lips became bigger. âDid you explain it clearly?â
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. âIf I donât explain it clearly, do you think I can get out?â
Su Jianâan couldnât help laughing and touched Lu Boyanâs face as if she was coaxing Xiyu. âThank you for your hard work.â
Lu Boyan grabbed Su Jianâanâs hand and took the opportunity to give her a peck on her lips. Only then did the haze on his face disappear.
However, Xiangyi was unhappy and hummed, as if she was protesting against the adults for ignoring her. She pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry.
Lu Boyan walked over and picked up Xiangyi from the babyâs bed. He coaxed her in a gentle voice. The little fellow looked at Lu Boyan, and her pink and tender lips finally showed a smile, like a smiling angel.
He knew that she was willful, and he knew that if he spoiled her like this, the little girl would only become more and more willful.
But Lu Boyan was still willing to spoil her.
As long as he was there, his daughter could be willful for the rest of her life.
Su Jianâan sighed and complained, âFortunately, Xiyu doesnât stick to you like this, otherwise...â
Lu Boyan looked at his daughter with a faint smile on his lips. He responded to Su Jianâanâs words. âOr what?â
âOr Iâll be jealous!â
Su Jianâan was serious.
She was the one who gave birth to their daughter. Although Lu Boyan had contributed in some way, why should she only stick to Lu Boyan?
Lu Boyan smiled and kissed Su Jianâanâs lips. âYou still have me.â
Su Jianâan pretended to be in deep thought. âItâs hard for me to make a choice... between you and Xiangyi.â
âYou donât have to choose.â Lu Boyan slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and a smile spread on his handsome face. He looked so charming. âWe are both yours.â
â...â
When Su Jianâan was obsessed with it, Aunt Liu came up and knocked on the door, informing them that breakfast was ready.
Lu Boyan helped the two little guys change their diapers. He handed them over to Aunt Liu and Auntie Wu, who would take care of them. Then, he took Su Jianâan downstairs.
The two of them had just finished their breakfast when Shen Yuechuan arrived. He came to confirm some details regarding the full-moon party with Lu Boyan.
Looking at Shen Yuechuan, Su Jianâan couldnât connect him with the word âcousinâ no matter how hard she tried. She was in a trance.
After confirming all the details, Shen Yuechuan noticed Su Jianâanâs gaze and smiled. âHas Boyan told you everything?â
Su Jianâan nodded. âYes.â
Shen Yuechuan looked at Su Jianâan and sighed. âI find it unbelievable too.â
He had known about Su Jianâan for a long time, and he had paid attention to her life for Lu Boyan, secretly helping her solve all kinds of problems.
At that time, Su Jianâan was just an ignorant little girl in his eyes, just like the current Xiao Yunyun.
Therefore, he had no objection to the job assigned by Lu Boyan. On the contrary, he felt that it was quite interesting to look after Su Jianâan.
He had never expected that Su Jianâan was his cousin. The blood vessels in the depths of their bodies had inherited the same blood.
Su Jianâan smiled. âDo I have to call you cousin in the future?â
âHey, donât do that.â Shen Yuechuan said with an unwilling look, âIâm not used to you calling me that even if you can accept it. Besides, even if youâre willing to call me that, Iâm sure your Boss Lu wonât allow. So, letâs behave in the same way as before, okay?â
