In the Century Gardens Hotel, Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan had something to deal with in the hotel, so they came early.
As soon as they entered the hotel, they saw Mu Sijue coming out of the elevator.
Having taken off the formal suit, Mu Sijue was dressed entirely in black, which made him look calm and chilling. His handsome facial features carried with a touch of sharpness, and he was exuding an air of alienation.
When the hotel staff saw Mu Sijue, they took a few steps back silently and trotted away.
Su Jianâan was not scared by Mu Sijue. Instead, she felt confused and looked at Lu Boyan, asking, âDidnât you arrange an apartment for Sijue? Why is he in the hotel?â
Lu Boyan put one hand in his pocket leisurely. âYou can only ask Sijue this question.â
Mu Sijue also noticed Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan. He strode to them, moved his cold and thin lips and asked lightly, âWhy are you here?â
âOh, weâre here to deal with something.â Su Jianâan tried her best to hide her curiosity and ask in a normal tone, âSijue, did you... live here last night?â
âYep.â Mu Sijue took a deep look at Su Jianâan. âAny problems?â
Su Jianâan was keenly aware of the danger and hurriedly shook her head. âOf course not! Iâm just... just curious...â
Mu Sijue remembered what had happened last night and became a little frustrated. He glanced at one of his men behind him, and the man understood, handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.
Mu Sijue took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, âIf thereâs nothing else, I have to go.â
Lu Boyan knew where Mu Sijue was going, so he replied with an âUmâ. Then, he held Su Jianâanâs hand and walked in the opposite direction toward the elevator.
Before Su Jianâan came to her senses from curiosity, she had seen a familiar figure-Yang Shanshan.
Having taken off her evening dress, Yang Shanshan was wearing a long red coat. When she stepped forward, her straight and thin legs were revealed. Her every step was sexy and attractive.
Not to mention the guests coming in and out of the hotel, even the hotel staff could not help staring at her.
Su Jianâan suddenly remembered that Mu Sijue and Yang Shanshan left the banquet hall together last night. Luo Xiaoxi found it incredible and specially asked her if Mu Sijue appreciated such a woman as Yang Shanshan?
She confidently told Luo Xiaoxi that Mu Sijue was just using Yang Shanshan, and he would never be interested in such a woman as Yang Shanshan.
However, this morning, she saw Mu Sijue and Yang Shanshan appear in the same hotel with her own eyes.
âWell, do I... get a slap in the face?â
Yang Shanshan could not ignore Su Jianâan at all. After all, the man next to her was too dazzling.
However, she was not envious at all. Her Brother Sijue was very excellent as well!
Yang Shanshan thought about it. If her feeling was right, Su Jianâan and Luo Xiaoxi did not seem to want her to be with Mu Sijue.
However, there was a saying that âsometimes things arenât meant to be.â
She had already been with Brother Sijue!
She felt that she should let Su Jianâan know it.
Yang Shanshan smirked, raised her hand and greeted Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan affectedly warmly. âHey, morning! Why are you in this hotel?â
Su Jianâan thought about Yang Shanshanâs words for a moment and understood her meaning that she and Lu Boyan were not qualified to appear in this hotel.
In such a case, there was no need for her to be polite.
Su Jianâan smiled faintly and said, âWeâre here to deal with something.â
Yang Shanshan looked surprised and said, âSo are you working in this hotel?â
âYou misunderstood.â Su Jianâan calmly denied her words. âThis hotel belongs to us.â
Yang Shanshan had stayed in Country C all year round, so she did not know much about City A. Also, Mu Sijue never introduced Lu Boyan to her in detail. In addition, she only cared about Mu Sijue. Therefore, she naturally regarded Lu Boyan as an ordinary person.
She had planned to start from the topic of her living in this hotel and show off her being with Mu Sijue, but she did not expect to be embarrassed by Su Jianâan.
She had thought that only Luo Xiaoxi was not easy to deal with. Now it seemed that Su Jianâan was not an easy person to deal with, either.
Yang Shanshan quickly snapped out of her embarrassment and smiled with understanding. âI see. No wonder Brother Sijue chose this hotel last night! Ah, the suite Brother Sijue chose is equipped with an incredible view!â
Su Jianâan should understand her words, right?
Of course Su Jianâan understood, and she also knew what kind of reaction Yang Shanshan was looking forward to.
But she would let her down!
Su Jianâan smiled and nodded, pretending to agree. âSijue has always liked this hotel, especially a certain suite on the eighth floor. Because of this, the hotel manager even made a joke with me.â
Yang Shanshanâs curiosity was aroused. She looked at Su Jianâan and asked, âWhat joke?â
With a casual attitude, Su Jianâan said word by word, âThe manager often says that Mr. Mu loves the constant suite and the inconstant female companions.â
Yang Shanshan instantly understood that apart from her, Mu Sijue had brought many other women here.
Su Jianâan was telling her that Mu Sijue did not treat her seriously and she was just a one-night stand for him?
Yang Shanshanâs face turned livid, and she looked at Su Jianâan angrily. Her breathing was increasingly rapid, but she could not vent her anger on Su Jianâan because Lu Boyan was next to her.
Su Jianâan raised her wrist and checked her watch. Then she looked at Yang Shanshan and said, âMiss Yang, we have to go. Please help yourself here. If you need anything, feel free to find the hotel staff.â
In the elevator, Lu Boyan asked leisurely, âJianâan, when did the hotel manager joke with you about Sijue?â
âWell, actually not.â Su Jianâan turned to look at Lu Boyan and smiled. âWhat I just said is a slander.â
After the birth of their children, Lu Boyan had never seen Su Jianâan act waywardly. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, with great indulgence and pampering in his eyes. âI havenât seen you target someone for a long time.â
Su Jianâan compressed her lips and said with an innocent look, âItâs mainly because Yang Shanshan is too unpleasant. No wonder Xiaoxi doesnât like her at first sight.â
The pampering in Lu Boyanâs smile increased. âIf you donât like Yang Shanshan, I can ask someone to record her as a blacklisted customer. After checking out, Yang Shanshan will never be able to come in again.â
Su Jianâanâs bright peach-blossom eyes were full of surprise. âCan our hotel be so wayward?â
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. âItâs mainly because Mrs. President is wayward. But how did you know that the suite Yang Shanshan mentioned is on the eighth floor?â
âBoss Lu, please donât pass the buck to me!â Su Jianâan refused to admit it and explained, âSuites in our hotel are all on the eighth floor, so I guessed it without thinking.â
Lu Boyan held the back of Su Jianâanâs head and kissed her lips. âIt seems that youâve learned a lot during this time. This is a reward.â
They chatted and laughed, and soon arrived on the fourteenth floor. The hotel manager was waiting for Lu Boyan in the office.
Before Lu Boyan got down to business, Su Jianâan asked the manager first, âManager Xu, did Mr. Mu sleep with Miss Yang, who came with him, last night?â
âYes.â The manager nodded with a strange look, as if to say something but stopped on second thought.
Su Jianâan did not miss such a subtle expression and said, âAnything else? Just tell me. I need to know.â
The manager coughed softly and said, âLast night, Mr. Mu and Miss Yang made quite a big noise...â
Su Jianâan was speechless.
After dealing with the business and leaving the hotel, Su Jianâan was still in a daze.
Lu Boyan flicked her forehead with his fingers. âWhat are you thinking?â
Su Jianâan touched her forehead and looked as if she were not herself. âI still donât believe that Sijue can really accept Yang Shanshan.â
How could that be? Yang Shanshan was not Mu Sijueâs cup of tea at all.
Lu Boyan thought for a moment and said slowly, âSijue wants to tell a lie to us and himself that he has no feelings for Xu Youning anymore and that he can accept anyone, understand?â
Su Jianâan understood what Lu Boyan meant. Mu Sijue wanted to deceive himself and others by accepting Yang Shanshan.
But, this couldnât work!
Su Jianâan looked disconsolate, and said with a look of helplessness in her peach-blossom eyes, âThere may be a misunderstanding between Sijue and Youning. Besides, I found something in the banquet hall last night.â
Lu Boyan was confident in Su Jianâanâs observation, and he looked at her with interest. âWhat did you find?â
âDo you still remember that not long after Youning went to find Sijue, one of Kang Ruichengâs men also went to find Youning?â Su Jianâan recalled and explained, âI saw very clearly that the man pressed a gun against Youning and asked Youning to go back. This showed that Kang Ruicheng didnât believe Youning at all. He was very afraid that Youning would go with Sijue directly in that situation.â
Lu Boyan was not surprised, and he replied calmly, âKang Ruicheng is suspicious, so it is normal.â
âIf so, then Youning is abnormal.â Su Jianâan hurriedly continued, âThink about it, if Youning really believes in Kang Ruicheng, how can she not be able to gain his complete trust?â
Lu Boyan finally understood what Su Jianâan wanted to say. âDo you mean that Xu Youning doesnât believe in Kang Ruicheng?â
âIâve always thought so.â Su Jianâan bit her lip habitually. âBesides, our guess is probably right. Youning has something hidden from us, and this is the main reason why she returned to Kang Ruicheng.â
As she spoke, Su Jianâan had a sudden headache and complained, âWhy canât Sijue wait much longer? Itâs not too late for him to be with Yang Shanshan after I find out what happened to Youning...â
â...â Lu Boyan rubbed Su Jianâanâs hair and said to her, âSijue is a normal man.â
âYou are also a normal man,â said Su Jianâan while looking at Lu Boyan, âbut how can you wait for me for so many years?â
Lu Boyan did not expect Su Jianâan to target him. He took a deep look at Su Jianâan and asked, âAre you comparing yourself with Yang Shanshan?â
â...â Su Jianâan was speechless for a while. âForget it. Just pretend that I didnât ask that question.â
At this time, Uncle Qianâs voice came from the driverâs seat. âMr. Lu, shall I drive you to the company first, or send Mrs. Lu home first?â
Su Jianâan replied ahead, âDrive me to the hospital. Iâm going to find Yunyun. And Iâll go home at noon.â
âOK.â
Uncle Qian turned the car around and drove to the private hospital.
Su Jianâan continued, âIâm going to discuss with Yunyun about contacting Doctor Liu.â
Lu Boyan looked at the time and told Su Jianâan, âSijue and Xu Youning will meet in half an hour. If there is really a misunderstanding between them, maybe you donât have to work hard to investigate it. They will make it clear.â
â...â
For the time being, Su Jianâan was not curious about why Mu Sijue and Xu Youning would meet again.
She wondered whether Mu Sijue and Xu Youning would remove or increase the misunderstanding after this meeting...
