Chapter 516 Why Not Cherish the Gentleman Before You

The groomsmen and bridesmaids thought that there had to be a subtle emotion which was more intimate than friends.h.i.+p but less than love between Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun.

They could easily tell that both of them felt that their feelings were unrequited by the other.

That was why they were all sure that the one Xiao Yunyun had once kissed wasn’t Shen Yuechuan.

Otherwise, they would already be in a relations.h.i.+p if he were the one she kissed.

It was inferred that Shen Yuechuan interrupted Xiao Yunyun because he wasn’t the one.

As for the reason…

Shen Yuechuan was probably afraid that he would be jealous of a stranger!

All the others at the table, including Luo Xiaoxi, thought that was a fact.

So they all considered themselves close to the truth with their eyes fixed on Shen Yuechuan.

Shen Yuechuan simply smiled without words, looking relaxed and calm.

He would rather let the others be misled than figure out he had kissed her.

Because he was afraid that it would be embarra.s.sing for Xiao Yunyun and him once his feelings for her were known to all.

Su Jianan, who had been standing there watching and listening, turned her head and whispered to Lu Boyan, “Yuechuan would never be jealous of himself!”

Lu Boyan didn’t get Su Jianan’s point. “Huh?”

Su Jianan held Lu Boyan’s arm to lead him aside and said, “According to my observation, Yuechuan must be the one who kissed Yunyun. Xiaoxi and the others think that Yuechuan will be jealous if Yunyun tells us whom she kissed. But that’s not the case. There’s no need for Yuechuan to be jealous of himself, is there?”

Lu Boyan became even more confused. “How do you know that he kissed her… huh?”

Su Jianan pointed at her eyes. “By observing, as I used to do in my job!”

Lu Boyan thought for a while and finally got her point.

Su Jianan had helped her superior clear up many unsolved cases downtown, so she could easily see through Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun.

Lu Boyan continued to ask with confusion—

“Are they in love?”

Su Jianan shook her head. “I don’t think so. But they will soon be in love if we give it a push, with any luck.”

Lu Boyan recalled when he secretly helped Su Jianan with her difficulties a few years back; Shen Yuechuan had often teased him about being a shrewd businessman when dealing with dozen-billion yuan projects but a coward when faced with Su Jianan.

He realized that Shen Yuechuan was just like him, not brave enough to express his feelings for his beloved.

“How could we help them?” asked Lu Boyan with a sly smile.

Su Jianan gazed at Lu Boyan for a while. “You’re not going to help Yuechuan, are you?”

Lu Boyan raised his eyebrow. “I just want to teach him a lesson.”

“…” Su Jianan thought for a while and said, “Actually, Yuechuan will begin a relations.h.i.+p with Yunyun if they express their feelings for each other, so we can try to encourage them to do that. It won’t do them any good if they go on like this.”

Lu Boyan could tell that Su Jianan was worried about it, so he decided to stop joking and said, “I’ll talk to Yuechuan about it.”

Su Jianan nodded. However, she was still preoccupied.

She was filled with a sense of foreboding…

“Stop thinking about it.” Lu Boyan took Su Jianan’s hand. “Let’s go home.”

The wedding feast was scheduled to last all day for the guests to enjoy their meals and have fun. Su Jianan thought it would be inconvenient for her to stay any longer since she was pregnant, so she told Luo Xiaoxi that she had to go.

Luo Xiaoxi was reluctant to say goodbye to Su Jianan.

She had once dreamed of not only her wedding with Su Yicheng but also Su Jianan staying with her throughout the wedding to witness her happy ending that she had finally found after more than ten years.

However, she knew that she shouldn’t be so selfish, making Su Jianan stay since she needed enough rest before she gave birth to her twins.

Fortunately, they were already a family, and there would be enough time for them to stay together.

Therefore, there would be enough time for Su Jianan to witness Luo Xiaoxi’s happiness.

Luo Xiaoxi glanced at Lu Boyan and said to Su Jianan, “Well, I believe he can take care of you. Just go home and have a good rest or my little nephews will be tired!”

Su Jianan smiled. “Let’s get together after you come back from your honeymoon.”

“No problem!”

Luo Xiaoxi returned to the table after watching Lu Boyan and Su Jianan leave.

A bridesmaid was talking with Xiao Yunyun while shaking her cellphone. “Yunyun, I really envy your cousin.”

Xiao Yunyun gave the bridesmaid a positive look. “Me too!”

Shen Yuechuan looked at the number he had gotten and asked, “Why is that?”

“Because her husband is handsome, rich, and deeply in love with her!” said Xiao Yunyun in admiration, “He’s every girl’s dream! The point is that he has never picked up any ladies, although he could if he ever wished to!”

“You’re wrong.” Shen Yuechuan sneered. “There have been many rumors of a love affair between him and Han Ruoxi before she was sent to prison.”

Han Ruoxi…

They had nearly forgotten her, a once popular G.o.ddess who suddenly ended up in prison.

Xiao Yunyun was in Australia when the gossip about Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi provoked much discussion among the public. She had browsed countless online reports and posts about it and finally figured out the whole story after going to City A.

Xiao Yunyun had always disliked women like Han Ruoxi who had once held good cards in hand but ended up in jail because of impulsive behavior. Shen Yuechuan shouldn’t have mentioned her in front of Xiao Yunyun.

“Shen Yuechuan, d*mn you!” Xiao Yunyun kicked Shen Yuechuan under the table. “My cousin-in-law is your boss. You should do as we do and praise him!”

Shen Yuechuan snorted. “You’ll never find a second Lu Boyan in this world no matter how highly you think of him.”

Xiao Yunyun looked Shen Yuechuan up and down. “By the way, you spend over 40 hours together with him every week, but you’ve never learned anything from him, have you?”

“Do you want to know why?”

Shen Yuechuan said with a mysterious smile, thinking about how to praise himself to the fullest.

Xiao Yunyun suddenly said, “Stop. I know it!”

“Go on,” said Shen Yuechuan with interest.

“Because he would never be duplicated!” Xiao Yunyun said with a proud look while casting a disdainful gaze at him.

To her surprise, Shen Yuechuan gave her a positive look and said, “That’s right.” Then he added, “However, you’ll never find a man like your cousin-in-law unless you turn into a woman like your cousin.”

He meant that few women deserved Lu Boyan.

Xiao Yunyun got Shen Yuechuan’s point. She knew he was telling her that she wasn’t good enough for a man like Lu Boyan.

“So what?” she asked with interest as Shen Yuechuan just did.

“If I may say so—” Shen Yuechuan gave her a nice smile. “Far better than any dream men is one of flesh and blood. Why not cherish the gentleman before you, huh?”

“…” Xiao Yunyun thought that Shen Yuechuan was kidding, although she hoped that he was serious. She told herself not to be timid and looked directly into his eyes.

After staring into Shen Yuechuan’s eyes for a while, Xiao Yunyun slowly said, “But I don’t see any gentlemen in front of me.”

Shen Yuechuan raised his eyebrow. “Then what do you see?”

Xiao Yunyun blurted, “A rogue!”

Shen Yuechuan thought for a while and said, “If you say so, I’d like to behave like a rogue.”

With that, Shen Yuechuan leaned over to Xiao Yunyun unexpectedly.

It surprised Xiao Yunyun. She gasped subconsciously and leaned back, almost falling off the chair, which made a lot of noise.

Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun’s pale face, laughing out loud. Xiao Yunyun thought that he was flirting with her as he grinned.

Xiao Yunyun was so embarra.s.sed that she wanted to cover her face with a plate.

She thought to herself, “I see. I’m no match for Shen Yuechuan. I just need more practice before I can tease him.”

“Let’s stop this,” someone at the table said, “The two of you could still have fun without us. Let’s get out of here.”

The others all echoed, “Yeah, let’s go.”

Only then did Xiao Yunyun realize that she and Shen Yuechuan were too close to each other. She coughed and said, “We were just… kidding.”

“I see,” Luo Xiaoxi said with a smile, “I don’t think multiplayer games suit you. But games for two players will do.”

Xiao Yunyun asked subconsciously, “Like what?”

“All the games that could start whenever there are two players in it,” Luo Xiaoxi blinked and said, “That is to say—you can do whatever two people could do.”

Xiao Yunyun felt her face blush as if it were burning after hearing what Luo Xiaoxi said. All the others smiled and gazed at her as if they were trying to pry into her big secret.

Xiao Yunyun glared at Shen Yuechuan. “It’s all your fault!”

Shen Yuechuan said leisurely, “It takes two to argue.”

Xiao Yunyun: “…” She thought to herself, “D*mn!”

“Well, the game is over, and so is the wedding feast.” Luo Xiaoxi held Su Yicheng’s arm and stood up. “We’ve have further amus.e.m.e.nts for you. Help yourselves, please!”

Xiao Yunyun thought to herself dejectedly, “Whatever, I won’t join them anymore.”
