Chapter 660 Birthday Party, Rival in Love (2)

For the sake of safety, Su Jian’an did not intend to expose the two little guys to the public before they grew up.

Therefore, she was particularly sensitive to the sound of the shutter. She almost subconsciously covered Xiangyi in her arms and then looked toward the door of the suite.

It was a reporter from a well-known media company. If she remembered correctly, the company’s CEO, who was surnamed Tang, had a good relations.h.i.+p with Lu Boyan.

The reporter showed the press card hanging on his chest and said h.e.l.lo to everyone in the room. He promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t take any picture of the babies.”

There were countless security guards from the entrance of the hotel to the suite. If it had not been for special permission, the reporter would not have been able to get in, even if he had extraordinary skills.

Su Jian’an looked at Lu Boyan, with her beautiful peach-blossom-like eyes full of doubts.

Lu Boyan just smiled. “He will take a few photos and leave.”

“…” Su Jian’an guessed correctly. It was true that Lu Boyan had allowed the reporter to do so.

The reporter moved very fast. He took photos of Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an from the back and from the sides, completely avoiding the two babies.

The photos were taken quickly, following which someone came in and led the reporter out.

Su Jian’an then asked Lu Boyan, “Is there anything else you haven’t told me?”

Tang Yulan and Xiao Yunyun were paying all their attention to the two little guys. Lu Boyan took the initiative to kiss Su Jian’an’s lips. “Good girl, you will know tomorrow.”

Su Jian’an pursed her lips and was too shy to ask again.

It was getting dark, and the opening of the dinner party was close.

Uncle Qian went to pick up Su Yunjin. When they returned to the hotel, they happened to meet Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi.

Su Yicheng was dressed in a formal suit, and he looked particularly handsome and straight. Luo Xiaoxi was wearing a long red dress, looking bright, s.e.xy, and elegant.

When Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an stood together, it was more likely for people to a.s.sociate them with descriptions like “a talented man coupled with a beautiful woman”.

When Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi stood together, it was another description- “a perfect match”.

The handsome man and the beautiful woman were like a match made in heaven. If they didn’t stay with each other, it was hard to imagine who else in the world could form a couple with either of them.

Su Yunjin smiled and asked, “Why are you so early?”

Luo Xiaoxi walked on the carpet with her 10-centimeter high heels, as if she were still walking on flat ground. “We have nothing to do at home, so we come here to see if there’s anything we can do to help.”

“They are in the lounge,” Uncle Qian said, “I’ll take you there.”

The reporters were sharp-eyed and soon found Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi. They gathered around them.

“Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu have become parents. Mr. Su, as Su Jian’an’s elder brother, you are left far behind.”

Su Yicheng just smiled. “We’re in no hurry.”

The reporter added, “Do you have any plans on this matter as of now?”

Su Yicheng was good at dealing with the media. He replied calmly, “For such a matter, we like to let nature take its course.”

Seeing that nothing significant could be dug out, the reporters simply changed the subject.

“Mrs. Su, the rumors about Mr. Lu and Miss Xia have been spreading like wildfire over the past few days. What do you think of this matter?”

Luo Xiaoxi indifferently replied with an “oh” and added, “I don’t like to read these kinds of rumors.” The implication was that she didn’t bother to have any opinions.

The reporter smiled awkwardly. “What about Mrs. Lu? How did Mrs. Lu react to the gossip?”

Luo Xiaoxi did not answer, and asked instead, “Has Jian’an arrived at the hotel?”

“Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Lu have arrived just now,” the reporter replied.

Luo Xiaoxi nodded. “Then why don’t you ask Jian’an? Isn’t it more accurate to hear her answer personally?”

The reporter said half-seriously and half-jokingly, “We didn’t dare to ask her when Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu were together just now. If we annoy Mr. Lu, the invitation in our hands will be invalid.”

Luo Xiaoxi uttered an “oh” and looked at the reporter. “Aren’t you afraid of annoying me?”

“…”

The reporters were all stunned.

Although Luo Xiaoxi was easier to get along with than Lu Boyan, she was Su Yicheng’s wife! The consequences of annoying her were the same as annoying Lu Boyan!

Luo Xiaoxi looked at the panic media and smiled. “I’m just kidding. How can I be so pouty? But since you saw Jian’an and Boss Lu together, you don’t have to ask me that stupid question.”

The media looked confused and asked, “Mrs. Su, what do you mean?”

Luo Xiaoxi just asked them, “Can you tell any difference about them when you just looked at Jian’an and Boss Lu?”

The reporters shook their heads. “There seems to be no difference.”

“That’s right,” Luo Xiaoxi said, “Jian’an and Boss Lu are still the same as before. It means that Jian’an has no reaction to this kind of scandal. Only some people who have nothing to do with this matter will react dramatically.”

After dealing with the reporters in this way, Luo Xiaoxi followed Uncle Qian into the suite.

Seeing the three of them arrive, a smile appeared on Tang Yulan’s face. “Everyone is here.” After a pause, she changed her words and said, “No, we still need Yuechuan.”

Tang Yulan still didn’t know the relations.h.i.+p between Su Yunjin and Shen Yuechuan, but it didn’t stop her from sincerely treating Shen Yuechuan as her family.

She saw Shen Yuechuan for the first time in the United States.

Just at that time, she knew that no matter what he looked like on the outside, Shen Yuechuan was actually a good child. Besides, she also believed that Lu Boyan could not be wrong about people.

When Shen Yuechuan was about to leave that day, she held Shen Yuechuan’s hand and asked him to treat her house as his home and take her as his family. She also told him that no matter what happened in the future, he could always come home where she would be there for him.

Tang Yulan was not showing her politeness. In the few years in the United States, her care for Shen Yuechuan was no less than that for Lu Boyan. After returning to the country, Shen Yuechuan had always been filial to her.

Shen Yuechuan shouted from a distance as if he had heard Tang Yulan’s words, “I’m coming!”

As soon as he entered the lounge, he sat down on the sofa. “I’m finally done with my work. I’m exhausted.”

Tang Yulan poured Shen Yuechuan a gla.s.s of water. “Drink some water and have a rest.”

Shen Yuechuan took the water and smiled more obediently than Xiang Yi. “Thank you, Auntie.”

Seeing that everyone was here, Su Yunjin said, “Everyone, please come here after the dinner is over. I have something to tell you.”

The people who knew the truth stayed silent and pretended to be curious, while those who didn’t know the truth looked puzzled.

Xiao Yunyun was the one who was the most embarra.s.sed.

She knew everything, but had to pretend that she didn’t know anything about it. The most difficult thing was that Su Yunjin had told her in advance that she was going to announce one thing today.

Therefore, she had to pretend that it suddenly occurred to her. She looked at Su Yunjin curiously and said, “Yes, mom. What are you going to say to us today? Can’t you say it now?”

“Let’s talk about it after the dinner.” Su Yunjin easily changed the topic and asked Xiao Yunyun, “Where’s Qin Han? Why didn’t he come with you?”

“Yunyun, I wanted to ask you too.” Luo Xiaoxi also said, “Why didn’t Qin Han come with you on such an important day?”

Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and didn’t know what to say.

Qin Han had never contacted her since he was injured by Shen Yuechuan that night.

She tried to send him messages and asked if he had seen a doctor.

But she got no reply from Qin Han.

However, there had always been an update on his WeChat Moments as usual.

“Therefore, he should be angry and doesn’t want to talk to me, right?”

Xiao Yunyun couldn’t tell the truth, so she had to find a plausible excuse. “We quarreled…”

Although Luo Xiaoxi hadn’t known Xiao Yunyun for a long time, she knew the latter’s character. Unless Qin Han took the initiative to provoke her, she wouldn’t quarrel with him.

Luo Xiaoxi then asked in an almost affirmative tone, “Did Qin Han bully you?”

Xiao Yunyun hurriedly shook her head and said, “No. We just had different opinions, and then quarreled…”

“And then?” Su Jian’an asked.

“And then… And then…”

Xiao Yunyun found that she couldn’t make up a story anymore.

“Well, maybe I should simply tell them that nothing happened.”

“All right, stop it.” Shen Yuechuan interrupted Xiao Yunyun and told others everything that had happened that night.

“Qin Han left you alone and engaged in a group fight?” Luo Xiaoxi looked as if she could not believe it. “Even if he didn’t think you would be afraid, he should care about your safety, right? Yuechuan, why didn’t you break both of his hands?”

Shen Yuechuan spread out his hands. “I’m afraid that someone will worry about him.”

Seeing that things were about to go out of control, Su Jian’an hurriedly asked, “Yunyun, has Qin Han not contacted you?”

Xiao Yunyun just shook her head.

Even Lu Boyan, who did not pay much attention to these things, was surprised. Luo Xiaoxi had the greatest reaction because she could see Qin Han’s WeChat Moments. If she remembered correctly, there had always been a regular update on Qin Han’s WeChat Moments these days.

“You must not contact him!” Luo Xiaoxi reminded her. “When I meet him one day, I will teach him a good lesson for you!”

Xiao Yunyun shrank her shoulders and said without confidence, “But I’ve already contacted him, and he didn’t reply to me…”

Luo Xiaoxi was even more enraged. “Don’t talk to him anymore! Why was he so arrogant when you’re so active?”

“…” Xiao Yunyun was terrified by Luo Xiaoxi.

Shen Yuechuan coughed and reminded Luo Xiaoxi. “You were more active before, and your Boss Su… Seemed to be more arrogant.”

Luo Xiaoxi cast a glance at Shen Yuechuan. “Is Qin Han as handsome as Yicheng?”

Shen Yuechuan shook his head decisively. “Of course no!”

Luo Xiaoxi snorted. “He is definitely not a match for Yicheng!”

Shen Yuechuan showed a look of total approval.

He dared to provoke anyone except for Luo Xiaoxi.

Su Jian’an, who should have been very concerned about what had happened between Qin Han and Xiao Yunyun, only talked once from beginning to end.

Only Lu Boyan noticed that something was wrong with Su Jian’an. He asked, “What’s wrong?”

Su Jian’an whispered, “There’s something wrong with Yunyun.”

Lu Boyan cast a glance at Xiao Yunyun and said, “She looks fine.”

“This is the most abnormal thing!” Su Jian’an said, “Usually, most girls would feel lost and sad when ignored by their boyfriends. At least, she should complain to us, right? What’s more, Qin Han was injured! Even if she knew that Qin Han’s injury was not life-threatening, Yunyun should be very worried.”

“But it seems that she doesn’t care about Qin Han ignoring her at all. She just wants to get in touch with Qin Han. Her way of getting along with Qin Han doesn’t seem like a couple’s way of getting along with each other.”

Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an. “What do you suspect?”
