Chapter 410 Su Jianan Has The Photo

Su Jianan had not cooked since she was pregnant.

But Luo Xiaoxi had always loved their chef’s food. So she asked the chef to prepare Luo Xiaoxi’s favorite.

When Luo Xiaoxi arrived, she sat and pigged out all the food, which surprised Su Jianan a little. “I thought models didn’t eat much.”

“I won’t treat myself badly,” Luo Xiaoxi said while reaching for another dish. “Besides, I work out twice as much as I used to. It won’t hurt to eat more.”

“…Twice.” Su Jianan stared at Luo Xiaoxi’s l.u.s.trous face and said meaningfully, “Well, I can tell.”

Luo Xiaoxi was embarra.s.sed. “Su Jianan, since when did you become so evil-minded? I think you need a lesson from Boss Lu… in the bedroom.”

Su Jianan blushed. “And you said I was evil-minded!”

Luo Xiaoxi giggled and ran to Su Jianan. “I’m going also getting married. There’s nothing to be shy about.” Talking, she patted Su Jianan’s arm cheekily and lowered her voice, asking, “Did you do it after your pregnancy?”

Su Jianan raised a finger, red faced, and Luo Xiaoxi’s showed exaggeratedly surprised. “Lu Boss’s self-control… impressive. You were telling the truth, right?”

“I even told you how many times we did it. Why would I lie to you about this?” Su Jianan said, “The next day after we did it, I felt uncomfortable and I stayed in the hospital. Then, well, there was no then.”

Luo Xiaoxi was curious like a baby. “What about after your discharge?”

Su Jianan shook her head.

After she was discharged from the hospital, they snuggled, they kissed, but they haven’t gone any further. Lu Boyan can always stop himself at the last moment, just so not to hurt her and the babies.

She thought Luo Xiaoxi would say something, but Luo Xiaoxi looked solemn and was having deep thoughts.

After a while, Luo Xiaoxi raised her head and asked with a smile, “Has Boss Lu come home late recently?”

“He has had a lot of meetings recently.” Su Jianan said, “The meetings always take place at some weird places with the smell of smoke and alcohol. I hate that smell, so he always takes a bath before he comes back, like yesterday.”

“…”

Boom! Luo Xiaoxi was shocked as if she had gone through a blast.

Luo Xiaoxi’s expression was getting weirder, Su Jianan asked, “What happened? Why did you ask that? Anything wrong?”

“What? What could possibly happen?” Luo Xiaoxi laughed and tried to ease the tension. She whispered, “I was thinking that maybe Boss Lu couldn’t control himself around you, so he always comes back so late.”

Su Jianan was speechless for a while. She said, “Couldn’t you have guessed something else?”

After dinner, Luo Xiaoxi and Su Jianan talked about many things in the living room, from the recent gossip to the common knowledge of pregnancy. At nine o’clock, Lu Boyan was back from the company, followed by Su Yicheng.

Su Yicheng went to pick up Luo Xiaoxi. It was getting late, so he was taking Luo Xiaoxi home. Also, he said that it was cold outside and asked Su Jianan to stay in.

Su Jianan didn’t insist to perform the courtesies. She took over Lu Boyan’s jacket, and suddenly, she screamed and was frozen.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Boyan sounded agitated. He dreaded that Su Jianan would be uncomfortable again.

Back from shocks, Su Jianan placed his hand on her b.u.mp, looking at him, surprised and stirred. “They were moving!” Since the last time they moved, Su Jianan hadn’t felt any fetal movements from those little ones in a long time.

Thinking of it, it should be the time they started to move more frequently.

They were moving slightly, only a few moves before they stopped. Still, Lu Boyan could feel the last bit. He couldn’t help but smile, holding Su Jianan’s waist and kissed her on her lips.

At the end, he gently let go of Su Jianan, with a tender smile on his face, “I hope time could go faster.”

It would be the best if time would go to October in the blink of an eye when the sycamore leaves turn yellow; it’s when the two little guys are born.

Su Jianan tilted her head, pretending to be displeased. “You want time to move faster as soon as you got home?”

Rarely, Lu Boyan’s mind was blanked out for a while. Then, he hugged Su Jianan said, “I wish time could stop when I am at home.”

Even it was just pretending, she couldn’t stay mad any more. She tiptoed and kissed Lu Boyan, asking him to take her back to the room. “Wow, you’re lifting three people. Wouldn’t you be impressed by yourself?”

“Who said it was three people?” Lu Boyan emphasized sharply, “I am carrying my world.”

“…” Su Jianan gave up arguing, feeling sweet. She couldn’t beat him in sweet talks anyway.

At that time, Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng were far away from Dingya Villa. Luo Xiaoxi told Su Yicheng the key information she had received, “Jianan said that Lu Boyan has had a lot of meetings recently. He returns late, and always takes a bath before he comes back.”

Su Yicheng frowned: “I found out that Xia Mili and Bo Yan were close when they were in college. There was even a bet between their cla.s.smates to see if they would get together. But so far, there isn’t much evidence proving that there is anything between them.”

Luo Xiaoxi felt a headache. “I hope it’s just a misunderstanding. If not…we can’t let Jianan know at this period.”

Su Jianan’s condition has already been unstable. She wasn’t sure if Su Jianan could take that.

It turned out that Luo Xiaoxi underestimated Su Jianan.

The next day, Lu Boyan left for work at 8:30 a.m. It was half an hour later than he had usually left before Su Jianan’s pregnancy. It was because that he had gone home late in recent days, so he could only spend more time in the morning to be with Su Jianan.

Plus, “accidents” were less likely to occur in the morning.

As soon as he left, Su Jianan received an international parcel.

Every parcel that had been received by Su Jianan would be previously checked by Uncle Xu for safety reasons, except for international parcels.

She had some friends and cla.s.smates in the US when she was studying abroad. Therefore, some of them would send some interesting items or some rare ingredients to her. Most of them were sent directly to her, so she wasn’t alert at all and just unwrapped it right away.

Hence, when she saw that it was a file bag inside, she felt weird. She opened the bag after going back to her room; there were five photos in the bag.

The photos had been taken the night before and the background was the entrance of a five stars hotel which was under Lu Enterprises.

The focus of the shooting was a man and a woman.

It was their backs that had been taken so she couldn’t tell who the woman was. But the guy on the left was definitely Lu Boyan. She could tell even with her eyes closed.

It could be seen from the photo that Lu Boyan and the woman entered the hotel at eleven o’clock and left at almost one. But at that point, Lu Boyan was alone, and he changed his clothes, looking refreshed.

The purpose of that person was self-explanatory, the message conveyed to Su Jianan based on those photos.

The first thing that came to Su Jianan’s mind was not buying it. A few photos of Lu Boyan going in and coming out of a hotel could not serve as evidence of him cheating.

Besides, Lu Boyan cheats? It was complete nonsense.

While in confusion, Su Jianan suddenly remembered Luo Xiaoxi’s actions. Luo Xiaoxi was not gossipy. But yesterday, she asked her things about Lu Boyan and her, and also, she asked if Lu Boyan had returned home late…

No doubt, Luo Xiaoxi knew something. If she weren’t wrong, Luo Xiaoxi would know who that woman was.

Su Jianan put away the photos and locked them in the cabinet. She called Luo Xiaoxi’s phone and asked directly, “Who was the woman who entered the hotel with Bo Yan yesterday?”

Luo Xiaoxi was caught unprepared, “What?”

“When did you find out?” Su Jianan asked again.

Luo Xiaoxi’s finally realized what was happening and hesitantly said, “The day before yesterday, I went to the headquarters and saw Lu Boyan was helping Xia Milli walking down the stairs. Then, I saw them together in the club again the same night. Later, when they left the club, I followed them and found that… they stayed in the hotel for a long time.”

Su Jian’an groaned for a long while. “You said that woman… is called Xia Mili?”

“Yes, she went to the same college as Lu Boyan,” Luo Xiaoxi answered sharply, “Jianan, that’s not the point. The point is she’s trying to steal you man. Who cares about her name!?”

“…” Su Jianan looked down. No one could know what she was thinking.

Luo Xiaoxi thought that Su Jianan was so stunned and sad that she couldn’t speak. Immediately, she said, “Don’t dig into it. It’s not sure. There are probably some misunderstandings. I’m going to your place now, you…”

“Aren’t you scheduled to have shooting for the cover today?” Su Jianan seemed a lot calmer than Luo Xiaoxi. “Go, I’m okay.”

“Really?” Luo Xiaoxi was dubious. “Are you sure you won’t do anything stupid?”

Su Jianan couldn’t help but laugh, “Do I look like someone who would do stupid things? Also, you’re right, there are some misunderstandings.

“What?” Luo Xiaoxi was curious. “How are you so sure?”

“The photos were taken in China, but were deliberately disguised as an international parcel when they were sent to me, which means that the person knew that the international parcels would not be checked by Uncle Xu. Also, I wasn’t blackmailed, indicating that the purpose of that person is only to sabotage my relations.h.i.+p with Bo Yan. If I get a ransom call from the paparazzi, that could mean they really have a thing. But I didn’t.”

Luo Xiaoxi couldn’t keep up with Su Jianan’s thoughts. “Then… what are you going to do? By the way, I saw that shrimp rice (h.o.m.onym of Xia Mili in Chinese) once, and she didn’t seem nice.”

“Shrimp rice?”

Su Jianan laughed, “I know her. She was Bo Yan’s cla.s.smate and the only girl who was close to Bo Yan at the time. She had feelings for Bo Yan, but they didn’t get together. After graduating, she married to an American, got her U.S. citizens.h.i.+p, and stayed in the United States for work.”

Luo Xiaoxi did not hide her surprise. “How do you know this so well?”

“Well, when I was studying, I accidentally met an old professor in the finance department who had taught Boyan.” Su Jianan said, “The professor liked to talk to me about the outstanding graduates she had taught, and wow, she mentioned my husband the most. Also, she told me that.”

“…I only believe the first half of what you’re saying.” Luo Xiaoxi said, “You must have tried so hard to get those gossips bits from the professor!”

“…” Su Jianan didn’t explain further. After rea.s.suring Luo Xiaoxi, she hung up.

Whether Miss. Xia had knowledge of her receiving those photos, or even if she partic.i.p.ated in the whole plan, she would have to see her, as things stood…
