"Jiang Shaokai." Su Jianan asked as soon as he entered the office, "What exactly do you want to tell me?"
"I heard what happened at yesterday's charity auction." Jiang Shaokai held Su Jianan's silhouette with two fingers and looked at her cheek, "Did you really get slapped by Su Hongyuan? How come your face is not swollen at all?
?”
This guy wants her to come to work with half her face swollen like a pig's head?
Su Jianan opened Jiang Shaokai's hand and said, "Lu Boyan gave me an ice pack when I went back yesterday, but the swelling didn't go away. I'm sorry to disappoint you, young master."
Jiang Shaokai crossed his chest with his hands and suddenly laughed: "Have you ever heard that Lu Boyan would be so careful in applying ice to others?"
The topic suddenly changed direction. Su Jianan's mind couldn't keep up with the rhythm. She was confused for a while before asking: "What do you want to say again?"
"Make a bet with me. I'll call and tell Lu Boyan that you're injured, and see if Lu Boyan will rush over in a hurry." Jiang Shaokai took Su Jian'an's phone and entered the unlock password, "By the way, let me tell you,
Lu Boyan should be quite busy right now. According to the information I got from my dad, his company is currently negotiating a cooperation project worth hundreds of millions. Think about it, isn’t it exciting?"
"Jiang Shaokai, don't make trouble." Su Jianan went to grab the phone.
"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Shaokai opened Su Jianan's contact list, "Wouldn't this phone call prove whether Lu Boyan cares about you?"
Yesterday, his mother came back and told him that after Su Hongyuan's slap, Lu Boyan's eyes looked as if he wanted to eat Su Hongyuan alive. Later, Lu Boyan's every move revealed that he cared about his newlywed wife.
What kind of feelings does Lu Boyan have for her? Isn't that what Su Jianan is struggling with?
He just wanted to help Su Jianan sort everything out, and by the way... let him sort out his own thoughts.
Su Jianan paused in grabbing the phone. She looked at Jiang Shaokai in a daze, with expectation and fear in her eyes.
Yes, after Lu Boyan kissed her yesterday, she wanted to know even more what kind of feelings Lu Boyan had for her.
However, what if she thinks that Lu Boyan has feelings for her, but it is just her illusion?
Then she would rather just speculate in hesitation forever and never know the truth.
"Don't lie to yourself, you want to know the answer."
Jiang Shaokai dialed Lu Boyan's number as if he saw through Su Jian'an.
The phone rang for a long time before Lu Boyan's voice came from the other end: "Jian An?"
Su Jianan's heartbeat almost burst from her throat.
"I'm Jiang Shaokai." He looked at Su Jian'an with a "really worthless" expression, and said very calmly, "Jiang Xueli came to see Jian An. Jian An was a little injured. It's best for you to come over."
The call was suddenly hung up, and Lu Boyan didn't say anything. He didn't even care about Su Jianan's injury.
Jiang Shaokai did not miss the fleeting look of disappointment in Su Jianan's eyes, and poked her forehead and laughed at her: "After marrying Lu Boyan, where did your backbone go? You can't afford to gamble on such a trivial matter? Wait a minute.
Just wait and see if Lu Boyan will come over."
Su Jianan took back her phone and suddenly remembered what Lu Boyan said - people must be self-aware.
What is she to Lu Boyan? Just a wife in name only. At this moment, he is talking about a cooperation project worth hundreds of millions. How could he abandon the cooperation project and come here just because she was slightly injured?
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted not stopping Jiang Shaokai just now and scaring him: "Jiang Shaokai, if you mess around again in the future, I will tell your wife how many exes you have when you get married!"
"What does it matter?" Jiang Shaokai laughed very coldly, "Anyway, there are a lot of things you don't know!"
Su Jianan: "..."
She gave up and played with the phone for a long time before finally deciding to call Lu Boyan and tell him that the phone call just now was just a joke made by Jiang Shaokai.
Jiang Shaokai sat there and laughed loudly at Su Jianan: "Coward! Are you afraid that you won't be able to wait for Lu Boyan?"
Yes, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to wait, that he wouldn't come. So, she might as well ask him not to come.
This can at least comfort yourself.
Just swipe your finger across the screen and click the green dialing icon, and the call will be dialed.
Then, she heard the familiar official cell phone ringtone, ringing quietly in front of her seat.
Su Jianan raised her head and saw Lu Boyan standing in front of the table holding a mobile phone. His chest was still rising and falling slightly because he was walking too fast, and sweat seemed to be pouring out of his forehead.
She suddenly forgot to breathe and her heart skipped several beats.
I was even more excited than when I first met Lu Boyan when I was 10 years old.
Lu Boyan walked around the table and pulled Su Jianan up from his seat: "Where is the injury? Is it serious?"
Su Jianan suddenly didn't know what to say and hesitated: "Actually...actually..."
In fact, it was just a scratch on the skin. It could not be called an injury. Lu Boyan actually came...
She felt even more guilty than if she had been caught as a thief.
Lu Boyan thought she was seriously injured, so he looked at her carefully from top to bottom, and finally found a thin blood mark on her ankle: "Is it right here?"
Su Jian'an felt even more guilty. After wiping her sweat, she realized that she hadn't sweated at all. She said "Yeah", "Actually, it's not serious at all. I...Jiang Shaokai was joking with you."
She didn't know if she was wrong. Lu Boyan's expression... seemed to be relieved.
Hey, she just lied to him, so she should be angry, right?
"Mr. Jiang." Lu Boyan suddenly looked at Jiang Shaokai. Su Jianan thought that he was going to settle a score with Jiang Shaokai, so she hurriedly grabbed him to explain, but heard him say, "Thank you for telling me about Jian An's injury."
Jiang Shaokai put his proud long legs on the desk and smiled wildly: "You're welcome."
Lu Boyan turned around and asked Su Jianan in a low voice: "Is it time for lunch break?"
Su Jianan nodded, and Lu Boyan took her hand: "Come to a place with me. I have something to tell you."
After leaving the police station, Lu Boyan asked Su Jianan to get in the car first. He stood outside the car door and asked her: "Do you have any change on you?"
"How much?"
Su Jianan took out her wallet and opened it, only to find that Lu Boyan had a confused look on his face. He said, "I don't know."
In the end, she simply took her wallet away and went into the convenience store next to the police station.
After a while, he came out with a small bag of things and handed it to Su Jianan along with his wallet: "Treat the wound yourself."
Su Jianan opened the bag and saw that it was disinfectant and band-aid.
Does he want change to buy this? No wonder he doesn’t even know how much it costs...
It was just a small wound. Su Jianan took care of it in a few strokes. He took out a wet wipe from his bag and wiped off the blood on his shoes. Then he asked Lu Boyan: "What do you want to tell me?"
Lu Boyan turned sideways, fastened the seat belt for Su Jianan, and started the car without saying anything.
Su Jian'an stopped asking. The car sped on the road for ten minutes and stopped in front of a Western restaurant.
Western food is often associated with romance, especially this expensive Western restaurant that is famous in the city. Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan with interest: "Take me to have some romance."
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianan leisurely: "Do you want romance?"
Su Jianan imagined the image of Lu Boyan acting romantic with an iceberg face, and shook her head: "Forget it, just talk about it if you have something to say."
The two of them entered the restaurant, and the manager came up to them and led them to their seats. He poured the tea himself: "Mr. Lu, do you want the meal you ordered to be served now?"
Lu Boyan said "hmm" and spread out his napkin. His movements were skillful and graceful, but there was no trace of acquired practice. It was as if he was born with the ability to perform all movements in a gentlemanly and charming manner. Su Jianan secretly complained in her heart: Monster.
The waiter in uniform quickly brought up two steaks. Lu Boyan's was sirloin steak, medium rare, and Su Jianan's was her favorite Kobe beef fillet, very rare.
She blinked: "How do you know I eat very well-done steak?"
Lu Boyan said lightly: "I guess."
"Actually, I also accepted medium-rare steaks at the beginning." Su Jian'an said while cutting the steak, "But after going to forensic school, I only eat medium-rare steaks. Otherwise, when cutting steaks, I always feel like I am in a laboratory.
Do an anatomy..."
Lu Boyan frowned and put a piece of steak into Su Jianan's mouth to gag her: "I'm going to the United States on a business trip."
Su Jianan chewed the steak and swallowed it: "Oh... when are you leaving?"
"The flight is at eight o'clock tonight."
"Bon Voyage?"
"Don't run around when I'm not around." Lu Boyan warned her, "Su Hongyuan may come to find you."
Su Jianan was finally distracted from the steak and frowned: "Why did he come to me?"
"Jiang Xueli was detained for assaulting the police."
Su Jianan's movements completely stopped. She had clearly asked Jiang Xueli to leave in the morning.
She stared at Lu Boyan: "You sent her in? That's good, so she doesn't bother me." After a pause, she asked, "Um... when will you come back?"
Thinking of Lu Boyan's absence, she suddenly felt that something was missing in her life.
Lu Boyan thought she wouldn't ask, so his gloomy mood became slightly brighter: "Come back next Wednesday. What do you want? Ask someone to buy it for you."
Su Jianan shook her head: "I want to eat vanilla ice cream from the handmade ice cream shop next to our school, but you can't bring it back."
After a pause, she asked hesitantly: "What were you doing before you came to the police station?"
"We are discussing a cooperation case." Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianan with a half-smile, "Your colleague called and said that you were injured, so I left the collaborator and left."
"Well, what happens next?" Su Jianan's confidence was slowly disappearing.
"Then? The partner may feel that I am very insincere and give up cooperating with Lu. Lu will lose hundreds of millions in profits."
"I, I didn't mean it..."
Su Jian'an couldn't imagine how much money several hundred million was, but just thinking about how long it would take to lose one million every day before losing one hundred million made her feel so scared that she couldn't hold a knife and fork steadily.
"It doesn't matter." Lu Boyan's tone was gentle. Su Jianan thought he could convince his partner to cooperate with him again. She breathed a sigh of relief, but she heard him say, "You can just be responsible for the compensation."
Su Jianan almost slipped off the chair.
Even after selling all the houses Su Yicheng bought for her, they are not even worth 100 million! How can she pay it back?
