Chapter 230 The So-Called Qualified Boyfriend

What was Su Jianan most afraid of?

Lu Boyan with a cold and gloomy face.

She still remembered that when she just married him, how Lu Boyan’s indifference chilled her. He was there, so close to her, but she still felt that he was as far away as before.

It seemed that as soon as he turned around, he could easily leave her completely as he had never had anything to do with her.

The fear shrouded Su Jianan as she suddenly rushed to Lu Boyan and hugged him hard. “I can explain, don’t go.”

Lu Boyan was unprepared, and Su Jianan dived at him. He was pushed back before he grabbed her waist and stood still.

At that moment, his heart greatly shook.

Su Jianan was afraid—she thought he would leave?

“I don’t… don’t hate children.” In the middle of her explanation, Su Jianan’s face already reddened. “I think it’s not the right time now… Think about it, how much alcohol have you drank during those business meals…”

“Do you know this medicine is harmful to you?” Lu Boyan’s voice still sounded cold.

“…” Su Jianan nodded.

Lu Boyan was completely mad. “And you still take them?! ”

“…” Su Jianan was dazed and felt confused—It turned out that Lu Boyan was angry because she hurt herself instead of her not willing to have children?

Lu Boyan took the pills out of the drawer and opened it. One tablet was missing from one of the strips.

His eyes sank again. “When did you take it?”

“This… morning…” Su Jianan bit her lips and dared not look at Lu Boyan, her head nearly low on the ground.

“Flop—” The sound of an object hitting the floor.

Su Jianan looked in the direction and found out that Lu Boyan had thrown the box of pills into the trash bin.

She couldn’t tell if Lu Boyan was still angry, so she watched him cautiously and quickly tried to think of a solution.

“I will make it safe.” Lu Boyan helplessly looked at Su Jianan. “Don’t take any more medicine later.”

Seeing his tone eased, Su Jianan’s finally removed the uneasiness in the heart, and then she touched his toes with hers. “I didn’t mean to hide from you. I just… didn’t know how to remind you…”

She was too shy so she simply bought the medicine and took it herself.

“It’s not your fault. I didn’t think it through.” Lu Boyan stroked Su Jianan’s head. “You are still a child, and I am too impatient.”

“…”

Su Jianan would like to remind Lu Boyan that she was 24 years old.

Since the death of her mother, she had seen the warmth and sinfulness of the world, and she had not allowed herself to be a child again.

However, being a child in Lu Boyan’s eyes seemed nice.

Thus, she smiled. “I don’t blame you!”

She actually played dumbed when she already got the favors.

Lu Boyan squinted. “Do you think I can’t handle you?”

Since she was seen through, Su Jianan raised her chin. “Yes, you do!”

Lu Boyan glanced at her and suggestively raised his lips. “I can’t do it today. Are you sure I can’t do it for four to five days later?”

“Boom—” Thunder clapped above her head. Su Jianan felt dazed.

Lu Boyan was very satisfied with Su Jianan’s reaction and lifted the quilt to signal at her to get on the bed. “Let’s go to sleep.”

Su Jianan climbed up. Lu Bpyan tucked her in and pecked her between her eyebrows. “I am going to take a shower.”

Soon, splashes of water sounded from the bathroom, and Su Jianan was holding the quilt, not sleepy at all despite her continuous effort.

When Lu Boyan came out, she nimbly rolled and got into his arms.

When the little monster took the initiative to fall into his arms, Lu Boyan naturally grabbed her tightly, and gently placed his hand on her lower abdomen. “Does it hurt?”

Then, Su Jianan remembered and discovered that it didn’t seem to hurt so much during her recent periods.

She shook her head. “The Chinese medicine that you forced me to drink has worked!”

How could she not discover before? Lu Boyan cared about her. Even if some utterly trivial thing happened to her, he would try his best to solve it for her.

However, maybe because he always said something he didn’t mean to, she actually considered Lu Boyan indifferent to her.

“Lu Boyan,” Su Jianan stirred in Lu Boyan’s solid and warm arms. “Thank you.” She meant it.

If it weren’t for Lu Boyan, she couldn’t even imagine that she could live so happy.

If it were not Lu Boyan, she may not be able to appreciate the true taste of love in her life.

However, Lu Boyan frowned and looked unsatisfied.

Su Jianan wondered. “What’s wrong?”

“You used to call me with a surname, and I don’t mind it.” Lu Boyan suddenly clutched at Su Jianan into his arms. “But now, I do mind it.”

“I don’t see anything wrong with… calling you by your full name.” Su Jianan blinked and tried to confuse Lu Boyan’s thinking. “Think about it, besides me, who else dares to call your full name? This is also a way to express affection!”

However, it implied something that could not be rejected. How domineering that was!

“Don’t try to brainwash me.” Lu Boyan effortlessly dismantled Su Jianan’s tricks and looked at her dangerously. “Starting from tomorrow, don’t call me with my full name again.”

“Husband…”

Su Jianan was deliberate. She uttered the sound just right, soft enough to create the illusion of being in the clouds. Her voice gently melted in her heart, making people want to press her into their arms.

Lu Boyan’s eyes fell darker and darker, but they were not gloomy. Instead, they came with something that Su Jianan found both strange and familiar with.

Su Jianan raised her lips in pride, but she still looked so innocent. “Then I’ll change into these two words, so do you like it?”

Lu Boyan admitted that he was shaken, but how could he be so easily defeated by her?

His lips raised with a calm smile. “I like it very much. Can you call me again with that?”

Su Jianan was dazed, her face flushed, but she started it, and she would take the challenge even when she wanted to back out and cry.

“Husband…” Suddenly, she felt it addictive and yelled while stirring in Lu Boyan’s arms, “Husband, husband, husband, husband…”

Lu Boyan’s eyes grew darker and darker. Su Jianan felt that she might get into trouble if she continued, and she wouldn’t have this “amulet” for long, so she decisively closed her eyes. “I’ll go to sleep!”

Curling up in Lu Boyan’s arms, she really fell asleep in a few minutes.

Lu Boyan listened to her long breathing, and a heavy sigh escaped from his lips. Gripping Su Jianan tightly, he closed his eyes in the dark.

…

Soon, it was almost the knockout round of the sixth episode of Top Model.

Luo Xiaoxi won the champions.h.i.+p for five consecutive weeks, but she did not lost her mind in pride. Instead, she arranged for more training during the daytime. The private teacher advised her to relax. She turned a deaf ear and was stuck in the training. Candy shook her head and commented. “This child has gone mad.”

However, seething their artist working so hard, Candy was actually happy, and the senior management was also very happy.

Only Su Yicheng was not.

He was usually busy with work. He had to deal with doc.u.ments, negotiations, and business meals, one after another. He did not expect Luo Xiaoxi to be as busy as him, so he could not see her so often during a week.

Even if she came occasionally, she lay feebly on the sofa and didn’t respond to him much.

After a while, Su Yicheng finally broke out, and personally found Shen Yuechuan to reduce Luo Xiaoxi’s task.

It turned out that before Shen Yuechuan replied, Luo Xiaoxi first came to him.

“Su Yicheng, you can’t be so selfis.h.!.+” Luo Xiaoxi was like a little lion defending his legitimate rights and interests. “I’ve worked hard to earn all of the job opportunities. What do you mean by having Shen Yuechuan cancel my shows?”

Su Yicheng dragged Luo Xiaoxi to the sofa.

He knew that this lion could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force, so he gently whispered to her, “Between two people, one of them must run the family errands. We have been together for so long, and how many times do you think we’ve met with each other and spend time together?”

Luo Xiaoxi’s strong aura gradually faded. “… Don’t you hate it when women pester you?”

Su Yicheng went to kiss her. “If the woman is you, I don’t mind it whenever you pester me.”

Luo Xiaoxi admitted that she was shaken, but… something seemed out of place.

Before laying feebly back on the sofa, Luo Xiaoxi promptly stopped Su Yicheng’s “evil” hand. “Don’t think I don’t know what you are thinking!”

“Oh?” Su Yicheng raised his lips, poised. “Tell me, what am I thinking now?”

“You wanted…” Very rarely, Luo Xiaoxi stuttered, but to save her face, she managed to look into Su Yicheng and found an alternative word. “That!”

“That what?” Su Yicheng smiled pleasantly and moved his hands. “This?”

“…”

Luo Xiaoxi was overwhelmed.

…

…

Luo Xiaoxi was very upset and finally realized that she was not an opponent of Su Yicheng.

“I won’t promise you.” She looked at Su Yicheng seriously. “I just want to work!”

Since she was not the opponent of Su Yicheng, then she’d shun fights with him.

If she worked harder, she wouldn’t have a chance to fight Su Yicheng. Luo Xiaoxi thought like that.

Su Yicheng knew that after the previous round, Luo Xiaoxi had been completely angered by him, so he changed his style of offensive—

“Jianan will have a wedding ceremony. Did she told you?”

“How could she not?” Luo Xiaoxi was really happy in an instant. “We’ve started to pick the bridesmaid dress!”

“You can take a look at the wedding dress while you are at it.” Su Yicheng was suggestive.

“I can’t.” Luo Xiaoxi did not think about his words at all, and she said, “Lu Boyan hired teams from huge brands to design dresses and gowns for Jianan. He wants to have a unique wedding dress in the world, and we can only see the drafts…”

Su Yicheng had a headache and rubbed his temples. Was Luo Xiaoxi really stupid, or was she playing dumb?

“Xiaoxi.” He looked at her. “Do you still not trust me?”

Luo Xiaoxi climbed over and smiled at Su Yicheng. “Did you do something behind my back?”

Su Yicheng held Luo Xiaoxi’s face in his hands. “I’m serious about being with you. Have you heard me?”

“Yes.” Luo Xiaoxi also restrained her grin. “I just… really like this job. Are you not used to me like this? You think I should go shopping and clubbing all day long as I did before? Isn’t that being idle in your eyes? Now that I have found a goal to strive for. Isn’t that great?”

In the middle of it, she glared at Su Yicheng. “But you are really hard to please. I’ve been working hard and you say that I don’t believe you. But if I stay at home to live off you, I guess you’ll call me lost and directionless, right?”

“…”

Su Yicheng’s headache grew intenser.

It was completely different from what he wanted to say. According to Luo Xiaoxi’s logic, he might fail to get to his point by the end of the day.

He might as well let Luo Xiaoxi see how hard it was to please him.

Luo Xiaoxi only felt a push, and she completely tumbled down. When she reacted, she couldn’t even scream…

…

Su Yicheng had given up in persuading Luo Xiaoxi out of her job.

Because of her statement. “I just really like this job.”

She had the right to pursue anything she wanted, and if he tried to stop her for his interest, he wouldn’t be qualified as her boyfriend.

Compared to arguing with Luo Xiaoxi and her weird way of thinking, he might as well do something that a qualified boyfriend should do…
