A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 225 - He Witnessed the Tragedy



Chapter 225 He Witnessed the Tragedy

The second day—

The shade curtain couldn’t block the sun, but Su Jianan still slept unconsciously.

She had always loved to sleep, but this time, the sleep seemed to last forever. When she woke up, it was as if she had slept for a long time, but it also seemed to have only been a few hours. She couldn’t tell which the day it was.

“Awake?”

Lu Boyan’s low and magnetic voice sounded overhead, like a pulling string, connecting everything to Su Jianan’s mind.

Her cheeks were suddenly red.

Not daring to look at Lu Boyan, she silently pulled up the quilt, trying to hide herself under the quilt and make herself disappear from his sight.

At this time, a gust of wind swayed the curtains, unexpectedly making a ray of the sunlight penetrate the room for a moment, and then it disappeared.

This sunlight was enough to make Su Jianan wake up. She blinked her eyes. “What’s the time?”

Today was Monday! Monday!

Lu Boyan looked at the time, and obliviously said, “11 o’clock…”

Su Jianan closed her eyes, and she only wanted to pretend to be dead.

Lu Boyan softly smiled and gave Su Jianan comfort. “I helped you ask for leave.”

“With what reason for taking time off?” Su Jianan unconfidently asked.

“Discomfort.”

His tone was gentle with clear words, and it was not different from his usual tone. But the smile at the final sound made Su Jianan feel that there was a deep meaning.

Her little face became redder abruptly.

Lu Boyan was quite satisfied with her shy appearance and jokingly teased her. “And what about the reason for the leave?”

“Well!” Su Jianan couldn’t help but shrink into the bed. “Good, very good, very good…”

Lu Boyan raised the corner of his lips and suddenly leaned over to her ear. “The gift you gave me is also very good. “I like it very much.”

“Whoosh!” Su Jianan pulled the quilt up and completely covered herself. “Don’t say it again!”

Lu Boyan said nothing, but Su Jianan clearly heard his pleasant laughter.

When time passed, the sound of Lu Boyan washing up came from the bathroom. Su Jianan kicked the quilt off with a long sigh of relief, and her cheeks were flushed like bloodshot.

As Lu Boyan came out with a tidy suit and saw Su Jianan clutching the quilt and entrancingly looking at the ceiling, he went over to her.

Su Jianan heard the familiar steps, and looked at Lu Boyan like a frightened deer. A noticeable unnaturalness flashed across her face, and then she quickly looked away.

“You, you go away, I’ll get up!” After saying that, Su Jianan felt strange again. “Are you also taking time off?”

It was a reasonable thought because Lu Boyan was much busier than her. But at this time, he was still at home, it wasn’t rational!

“No,” Lu Boyan said, “I’m skipping work.”

His look was so calm and the smile that stretched from his eyebrows was so pleasant. Su Jianan naturally thought that Lu Boyan might just have not wanted her to wake up alone.

The apex of her heart was as sweet as honey, soaking the whole heart.

She got up, thought about it, then swept the bedding, and sneaked into the bathroom.

The smile around Lu Boyan’s lips was as big as before. He walked over and drew back the curtains, and the warm sunshine poured into the room and shone on the furry white carpet by the bedside.

He suddenly felt that this small bedroom was not so crowded.

Su Jianan changed her clothes and saw Lu Boyan standing by the window as she came out. The sun was shining into the room onto her feet, and she felt inexplicably warm.

She and Lu Boyan were really a true couple.

She no longer had to use the reports about him to comfort herself with fantasy, and no longer needed to secretly feel hurt while watching him and Han Ruoxi’s anecdote.

Su Jianan walked over and took Lu Boyan’s hand. “I forgot to ask you one thing yesterday.”

“Why didn’t my mother say ‘happy birthday’ to me herself?” Lu Boyan asked.

Su Jianan nodded. “And it’s strange that you haven’t celebrated your birthday for so many years. By rights, your mom likes to keep busy, so why she didn’t help you celebrate your birthday?”

Lu Boyan pulled Su Jianan to sit down on the sofa. “Because a few days later is the anniversary of my father’s death.”

Su Jianan was shocked, and many doubts in her heart instantly unraveled.

It turned out that this was the reason—Lu Boyan’s birthday was too close to his father’s deathday, so he dared not to celebrate his birthday.

At this time, trying to joyfully celebrate would be extraordinarily heavy.

Tang Yulan never really forgot the sadness of losing her husband. Those few days each year should be the most difficult time for her.

How could she be in the mood to help Lu Boyan celebrate his birthday?

“I don’t know.” Su Jianan was a bit confused. “I helped you celebrate your birthday yesterday, whether or not Mom will…”

“Little fool, Mom won’t blame you.” Lu Boyan kneaded Su Jianan’s long hair. “You did what she wanted to do, but couldn’t. How could she blame you?”

Su Jianan raised her eyes to look into Lu Boyan’s.

They were really beautiful.

The sharpness in his eyes made them look deeper, but she still couldn’t understand the emotions hidden by those eyes just like 14 years ago.

Su Jianan opened her mouth and wanted to ask about Lu Boyan’s father’s car accident. But those words turned into other words. “When you get off work in the afternoon, let’s go to the Orchid Gardens to see Mom!”

She also had lost her closest relatives, so she felt empathy, but she still wanted to wait for Lu Boyan to tell her voluntarily.

When Lu Boyan could calmly accept the fact and fully recover from the hurt, he would tell her.

After lunch, Su Jianan rested at home and Lu Boyan went to the company.

Before going out, Lu Boyan seemed to have a few words with Uncle Xu. Su Jianan didn’t listen carefully, holding a mobile phone and chatting with Luo Xiaoxi.

Luo Xiaoxi said that she also just got up.

Hey, wasn’t she insisting on going to bed early and getting up early for a long time? Did she break that trend today?

An afternoon was very short, and time slipped by fast from the fingertips. Su Jianan woke up after taking a nap and the time for Lu Boyan to get off work hadn’t arrived yet, so she simply lay in bed and played with her phone.

Inadvertently, she saw a piece of entertainment news—

The Hollywood film Return of the Jedi was completed, and Han Ruoyi returned to China.

Han Ruoxi…

This woman who had a winning claim to Lu Boyan hadn’t appeared in Su Jianan’s sight for a long time. If it weren’t for her sending a club from the United States back to Lu Boyan, Su Jianan almost wouldn’t have been able to remember her.

It’s not that Su Jianan’s memory was not good, but during this time, Han Ruoxi had very few news pages about her.

During Lu Enterprises’ anniversary celebration, Su Jianan and Han Ruoxi wore the same outfit, but Su Jianan unexpectedly didn’t lose to Han Ruoxi. In addition, the diamond thing made Han Ruoxi lose face. After going abroad, she concentrated on filming, not to make herself news, so the public had naturally forgotten her disgracefulness.

Su Jianan also almost forgot her rival.

But now, was she back?

The photo in the news was taken at the airport. Han Ruoxi wore a fitted casual outfit with a big pair of sunglasses, holding her hands in her pockets, and slightly headed toward the exit with long steps. Fans and entertainment reporters surrounded her, and it was really the style of a queen.

Su Jianan felt that Han Ruoxi was “returning with a momentum”, which gave her a very bad feeling…

In order to stop herself from thinking blindly, Su Jianan called Tang Yulan and said that she and Lu Boyan would go to see her later. Not long after she hung up the phone, Lu Boyan came back.

She let out a sigh of relief and jumped out of bed and grabbed Lu Boyan’s hand. “Let’s go to the Orchid Gardens. I just called your mom, she said that she would prepare some foods and wait for us.”

When they were inside the Orchid Gardens, Tang Yulan just prepared the food and warmly said, “You’ve must be hungry after a day of work, come and eat.”

Su Jianan almost forgot everything when she saw the food on the table and blurted out, “Mom, I didn’t go to work today.”

“Today is Monday, why didn’t you go to work?” Tang Yulan confusedly asked.

Su Jianan just said, “Emm,” and later discovered that she had dug herself into a pit, so she silently asked Lu Boyan for help, hoping that he would think of a persuasive excuse…

Arm around Su Jianan’s shoulder, Lu Boyan smiled while saying, “She overslept.”

Su Jianan was stunned, but Tang Yulan expressed her understanding. “I was carefree when I was young, and I also liked sleeping.”

However, as she aged, she had more and more regrets and lost more and more, and those regrets slowly ate away at good sleep.

Su Jianan vaguely noticed the sadness in Tang Yulan’s tone and gave her some broccoli. “Mom, try this.”

After the meal, Lu Boyan received a call from the company and went into the study to answer it, while Su Jianan accompanied Tang Yulan to chat in the living room.

Su Jianan saw that Tang Yulan’s spirits weren’t high, then she thought about it, and said, “Mom, how about I take another day off tomorrow and call Mrs. Pang and the others to come over to play cards with you?”

Tang Yulan smiled and held Su Jianan’s hand. “Jianan, I know what you are thinking. I’m not unhappy, I just miss Boyan’s father.”

Her gaze was unfixed in the air, and a bitter smile was on her lips. “He was very busy during that time, and didn’t even have time to celebrate Boyan’s 16th birthday. According to our plan, when he ended the lawsuit, our family would go on vacation and make up for Boyan’s birthday. Later, he finally won the lawsuit, and just the day before we were ready to go on holiday, the car accident happened and he suddenly left us…”

Su Jianan remembered her mother’s death, and it was so sudden that she was still immersed in happiness the day before, but after 24 hours, her world had collapsed…

“When the car accident happened, Boyan was also in the car. His father was desperately protecting him, so he was fine.” Tang Yulan’s eyes gradually became wet. “The person in the most pain is actually Boyan. He saw his father die in blood. Until now, I still dare not to see the report of that car accident, and I dare not to look at the pictures of that time. But that scene, the beginning and the end of the tragedy, are in Boyan’s mind.

“It has been so many years, I don’t know if he has forgotten it. I don’t even dare to ask him about the scene. Because I didn’t dare to face it, I didn’t give him many comforts. I am not a competent mother.”

“Mom.” Su Jianan hugged Tang Yulan, like a child in her mother’s arms. “Boyan won’t blame you. I will accompany him in the future, and no matter what it is, I will face it with him.”

Tang Yulan nodded and erased the tears that burst out from her eyes. She said with a smile, “You don’t have to worry about me. Once these few days have passed, I’ll be fine.”

“You could move to live with us,” Su Jianan said again, “so that we can stay with you every day!”

“Thank you for thinking about me.” Tang Yulan patted Su Jianan’s hand. “But I’m probably unable to move out from here for the rest of my life. But I promise you, I’ll occasionally go to stay with you for several days and make you a good meal.”

Su Jianan nodded. “OK.”

She understood that Tang Yulan was still immersed in the past memories and was not willing to leave. It was rare for her to say that she would go to stay with them occasionally.
