A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu
Chapter 202 - Discovering the Secrets of Lu BoyanChapter 202 Discovering the Secrets of Lu Boyan
“That’s good.” Tang Yulan smiled gratifiedly. “Otherwise, every time I see you wobble, I will feel bad.”
“Sister Yulan,” came the voice of Mrs. Pang in the living room. “What family issues are you talk about at the door? Let Jianan and Boyan come in.”
The living room was full of energetic ladies, so once here, Lu Boyan came in obviously out of place. Tang Yulan sent him upstairs to help her do things, but Su Jianan did not follow him—Mrs. Pang stopped her as soon as she came in.
“Jianan, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” Mrs. Pang looked at Su Jianan up and down. “But you look healthier than before.”
Su Jianan’s cheeks turned hot, and she heard those “experienced” ladies teasingly laughing at her.
“Stop teasing her.” Tang Yulan would surely protect her daughter-in-law, and she asked Su Jianan, “How are you and Boyan getting lately?”
Su Jianan nodded. “We are very good. Mom, you don’t have to worry about us. We are not children anymore.”
“I also ask your mother not to worry about you two.” Mrs. Pang said, “No matter what, as far as I know, he can’t make you feel wronged.”
“Mrs. Pang, why are you so right about other people?” Some lady said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
“Will I say something I don’t know for sure?” You should also let Jianan know this.” Mrs. Pang smiled and looked at Su Jianan. “Remember that day when you came to be interviewed for tutoring Tongtong in English? When you left, Boyan saw you.
“At that time, my husband was going to cooperate with him. The only condition he proposed was that we should hire you as an English tutor for Tong Tong, and ensure your safety on the trip from and to our home and in school.
“So the first time you attended the reception and when Boyan told me that you got married, I felt surprised at first, but soon realized it was not surprising at all.”
Finally, Mrs. Pang concluded. “Jianan, Boyan really cares for you.”
Su Jianan could only smile. “I know.”
She also finally knew why Mrs. Pang paid her so much, and why Mrs. Pang drove her from and to school every time.
When they were in Z City, Lu Boyan told her about this but did not elaborate on the requirements he had proposed to Mr. and Mrs. Pang.
“Well, Yulan, it turns out that your son has a target long ago.” Another lady felt discouraged and said, “It’s no wonder that when I introduced my niece to Boyan, he just wouldn’t see her.”
Tang Yulan just smiled. She was not surprised at all when Lu Boyan returned to China and secretly helped Su Jianan.
Then, those nice ladies burst out in the discussion, and Su Jianan blushed, so she came up with an excuse to go upstairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust now, she didn’t hear what Tang Yulan wanted Lu Boyan to do upstairs, nor did she know where Lu Boyan was. She pushed open the door of the room where Lu Boyan lived when he was a child. He was not here.
It was also okay that she stayed in the room alone.
After the marriage, Su Jianan had come to see Tang Yulan many times. However, it was the second time that she had entered this room.
Last time, when she visited Tang Yulan for the first time, she couldn’t believe it was the room where Lu Boyan lived when he was a child—Because except for a few pieces of simple furniture and books on the shelf, she couldn’t find anything else.
She also didn’t like a messy room, but at least, she would put some trinkets she liked in the room. Now it seemed that Lu Boyan was a boring man to the bone. Whether when he was a child or an adult, people would not find anything interesting in his room.
However, she still grew intrigued by something in this room—a storage box on the shelf.
Last time, she almost opened the box but was stopped by Lu Buyan. Would there be any secrets hidden here?
If it was before, Su Jianan would suppress her curiosity because she was afraid of Lu Boyan’s anger, but now, she was very interested in all of Lu Boyan’s secrets!
She stood on tiptoe to fetch the box and shook it by her ear. Something was crashing against the box, indicating that there was something in it.
She lifted the lid and saw the back of a photo. It looked like the photo had been taken for a few years.
Hmm, whose photo would Lu Boyan keep for all these years? Since he didn’t want her to see it, was it some other woman’s?
Su Jianan quickly turned over the photo, only to see the picture of herself more than a decade ago.
Her heart missed a beat and then started to race.
She remembered this photo. It was taken a few days before Lu Boyan and Tang Yulan left.
At that time, there was no sign of them leaving at all, and she once thought that Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan would have lived in the old house forever. She felt as long as she went there, she could find Lu Boyan.
On that day, her mother took her to see Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan, and they took the newly bought camera. Thus, her mother and Tang Yulan started to shoot things in the garden. Of course, she and Lu Boyan were their objects.
Back then, Lu Boyan was still young but had already started to play cool. He left after just being taken a few photos. In the end, Tang Yulan and her mother finally persuaded Su Jianan to stay. She posed under their instructions, and the camera kept clicking.
The one lying in Lu Boyan’s box was the one taken when in the end, she felt unhappy. She pouted and shunned the camera behind a row of camellia. Her face was downcast, but the two moms were happy taking her photos. Finally, she ran to find Lu Boyan.
After finding him, she discovered that Lu Boyan had been watching her not far away.
She felt upset and questioned him. “Why did you leave without me?” If she was not happy, she would not call him Brother Boyan.
Lu Boyan said faintly, “If I took you, they would come over and shoot us both.”
“...” So, Lu Boyan deliberately left her there to be photographed?
Su Jianan pouted her lips so high and felt angry. “Mom’s right. Lu Boyan is too sophisticated!”
She snorted and announced proudly. “I won’t talk to you.”
However, in less than half an hour, she forgot what she said and went to play with Lu Boyan. She called him “Brother Boyan” and her voice couldn’t be sweeter.
At that time, Lu Boyan must love her silly sweetness...
When she was absorbed in her thoughts, the door squeaked. Lu Boyan pushed open the door and came in.
Lu Boyan did not expect to see Su Jianan in the room or even see her open the box.
On that day, they took a lot of photos of Su Jianan. Tang Yulan took the film with her when they left the country. After they settled in the United States, Tang Yulan wanted to arrange a photo wall to make their home look sweeter. She picked some film and had Lu Boyan develop them, and some of them were photos of Su Jianan taken on that day.
When selecting photos, Tang Yulan asked him which ones he liked. He said that they didn’t matter anyway. However, in the end, he secretly added the photo that was taken when Su Jianan was impatient.
Compared to those photos where she smiled brilliantly, he preferred to see her pout unhappily as if in the next second, she would be running around calling him Brother Boyan.
Of course, after printing the photos and before giving them to Tang Yulan for the photo wall, he took out the picture he had secretly added.
Since then, he had carried this photo with him. When he returned to China, the picture had faded, but he still kept it. Until when he was about to marry Su Jianan, he feared that Su Jianan would discover it at home, so he brought it back here.
He did not expect Su Jianan to see it in the end.
Lu Boyan looked somewhat unnatural, and before he could say anything, Su Jianan shook the photo to him. “Mom has taken so many beautiful photos of me that day, but why did you pick this one?”
“I think only this picture of that day is watchable.” After a pause, Lu Boyan asked in doubt, “Do you still remember that day?”
“That was the first time I felt someone was so sophisticated, so how would I forget it?”
Things was strange about Lu Boyan. Though Su Jianan had an excellent memory, she had forgotten about most of her childhood as most people did.
Nevertheless, in the period when Lu Boyan was around, she remembered every day. All the memories related to Lu Boyan, as long as she kept them in her mind, could not be forgotten over time.
She stopped herself from thinking more about it, pursed her lips, and expressed her severe doubts about Lu Boyan’s values. “And you don’t know what beauty is. All the photos before this were better!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“...” Lu Boyan cocked one eyebrow and did not agree or disagree.
Su Jianan curiously tilted her head. “Lu Boyan, how come you don’t feel guilty at all?”
After hiding her photos for so many years, now that she discovered it, he would at least look a bit of awkward, wouldn’t he?
She had an encrypted hidden folder in her computer full of things about Lu Jianyan, including many photos of him. If Lu Boyan discovered that, she would have to dig a hole and directly crawl into it.
Lu Boyan was calmer than she thought because he said, “I am not hiding photos of others, so why should I be guilty?”
“...” Su Jianan thought about it seriously and even found his words made sense.
She smiled and approached Lu Boyan. “When you first came to the United States, did you miss me?”
“No.” Lu Boyan directly poured a bucket of ice water on Su Jianan.
Su Jianan pouted to express her dissatisfaction. “You must have changed your mind the moment you were in the United States!”
Lu Boyan smiled. “At that time, you were only ten years old, and all you did was crying. If I started thinking about you back then, wouldn’t you call me a pervert?”
Su Jianan. “...”
She put the photo back in the box. “Then why didn’t you let me open the box last time?”
If she opened it last time, she might see through Lu Boyan’s mind, and they would not have to go around in circles.
Lu Boyan said, “At that time, I thought we would get divorced and didn’t want you to know too much.”
“In fact, he didn’t want to burden me with those things, did he?”
Su Jianan could not deny that she was a little touched.
No matter in the very beginning or now, Lu Boyan had been giving away things. Moreover, he had to carefully hide everything, to make sure she could leave light-heartedly.
In contrast to him, most of the things she did were to upset him...
She looked up at Lu Boyan and raised her lips. “I promise you, as long as you don’t fall for others or go astray, I won’t divorce you!”
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianan tenderly and reached out to pulled Su Jianan into his arms. “Then you’ll bound to be with me for a lifetime.”
As Su Jianan wanted to say something, Lu Boyan’s lips had fallen and caught her lips.
“Oh...” She exclaimed subconsciously, but Lu Boyan’s kisses drowned her last syllable. Lu Boyan held both her hands and body tightly in his arms. She struggled hard to break free and finally managed to circle her arms around his waist.
Lu Boyan took the chance to tighten his grasp on her, and she also behaved very well today. She leaned against him and put most of her weight on him, awkwardly responding to his slightly aggressive taking.
