Chapter 294 - Go for It, Husband (2) (2/2)
When she got off work, Su Jianan had sent a text message to Lu Boyan saying that she would like to have dinner with her colleagues. After half an hour, he replied, telling her to have fun, and that he had to go home later.
Unexpectedly, it was actually a five-star restaurant. Jiang Shaokai smiled and teased his female colleague, “Your fiancé is rich.”
“Stop it,” the female colleague said, giving a sweet smile and slightly pus.h.i.+ng Jiang Shaokai, “He’s nothing compared to you.”
The group of people was seated in a private room. The female colleague introduced her fiancé to everyone. They sweetly held their hands together, which made people very jealous.
Su Jianan felt inexplicably depressed, and she found an excuse to leave the room. She went to the rooftop garden on the top floor of the hotel.
Maybe it was because of the cold weather, there was no one on the rooftop. She had just happened to find a place to sit, but inadvertently saw a man and woman who were entangled behind the flowers. After faintly hearing the sound, she was stunned and was ready to leave.
She didn’t expect to have been discovered. The man in the suit came out to ask her loudly, “Stop! Who are you?”
Su Jianan turned back and saw a familiar figure following the man out of the flowers—Han Ruoxi.
She was secretly surprised. Before she said anything, Han Ruoxi smiled and took the man’s hand. “Ah Ze, she is not some third-rate magazine paparazzi, she’s the wife of my former boss.”
“Mrs. Lu?” The man’s tight eyebrows went up and apologized, “I am very sorry, I thought you were…”
“It doesn’t matter,” Su Jianan interrupted the man, “I shouldn’t have bothered you.”
She turned around and went downstairs by the elevator. When the elevator door was about to close, a pair of well-maintained hands reached in and the elevator door moved again to both sides.
Han Ruoxi stepped into the elevator elegantly, looking at Su Jianan up and down. “Do you still have the mood to eat here?”
Su Jianan smiled and said, “When did you start to care about my mood?”
“Hey—” Han Ruoxi’s beautiful and glamorous face was full of disdain, “Don’t you want to ask me about the relations.h.i.+p with that man?”
Su Jianans said calmly, “I don’t mind about other people’s business.”
“But, you need to know this thing,” Han Ruoxi stared at Su Jianan and her eyes started to look fierce, “He has been chasing me for almost a year. I just promised to date him these days. He listened to me very much—Mrs. Lu, you can remember this.”
At that time, the descending elevator door opened, Su Jianan held down the door and smiled. “If you came to give me the good news, then… congratulations, Miss Han.”
She walked out of the elevator and didn’t see a cool smile on Han Ruo’s face, which made her look like a snake.
After dinner, everyone wanted to have more fun. Some people proposed to go to the KTV; Su Jianan declined and everyone understood, so they asked her to drive home safely.
It was past eleven o’clock when Su Jianan was back at her home. Lu Boyan returned in the early hours of the morning. The difference from the past was that he smelled like he had drunk a lot that day.
He was not a person who would drink alcohol to drown his sorrows. So it was mostly due to entertainment.
But she knew that he didn’t like to drink. In the past, no one dared to ask him to drink at the dinner table. At that moment, he seemed like he had drunk quite a bit… Su Jianan couldn’t bear to think about it anymore.
Lu Boyan no longer moved after he fell onto the bed. Su Jianan undid his tie and several of his s.h.i.+rt b.u.t.tons, then took off his shoes. She later patted his face and asked, “Would you like to take a shower?”
Lu Boyan put her in his arms as soon as he reached out. “Honey…”
He only called her that way when he was drunk, and at that moment, his voice was filled with infinite fatigue.
Su Jianan felt so terrible and was trying to put the quilt over him. He suddenly acted like he was looking for a sense of security in her and leaned against her closely, then his tightened eyebrows started to relax.
Su Jianan finally knew how Lu Boyan felt like when he was holding her, so she gently patted his back to appease him. “I am here, just sleep.”
She didn’t know if he had heard it, but soon he stopped moving, and breathed peacefully.
Su Jianan could not sleep for a long time.
Insomnia directly led to oversleeping the next day. When Su Jianan woke up, Lu Boyan had already left. A note was left on the bedside. The note with firm handwriting said: ‘I went to the company and asked for half-day leave for you. Have some rest.’
Su Jianan fell back to the bed, but then she decided to get up, and asked Uncle Xu to help her prepare ingredients while eating breakfast. Then she was planning to head to the police station and leave lunch for Lu Boyan on the way to work; otherwise she would not know when he would have something to eat because of him being so busy.
After the meal was prepared, she put it in an insulated food carrier, then she drove straight to Lu Enterprises.
Although the media still focused on the Fanting Garden accident, there were not a large number of reporters stuck at the entrance of the company. Su Jianan parked the car and took the insulated box upstairs, then ran into Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan after getting out of the elevator.
They turned their backs to her and hurried to some place, and she only heard Shen Yuechuan say to Lu Boyan, “I contacted Fang Qize of Huinan Bank. He promised to talk to you at the c.o.c.ktail party the day after tomorrow. I can’t feel the sincerity of cooperation by his tone, and I don’t know what conditions he will mention.”
“Go first…”
Only two words were spoken; Lu Boyan’s sound suddenly stopped as well as his step.
He turned back without warning—Su Jianan was exposed to his sight.
She lowered her shoulders for a second and looked disappointed. “I wanted to scare you.”
But after all, she clearly did not make any sound. How did Lu Boyan know that she was behind him?
