A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 533 The Difference Between Like and Love

Xiao Yunyun was embarrassed, and her cheeks slowly turned red.

She always felt that “love” was a heavy word. There was an essential difference between liking one person and loving one person.

She forgot where she had seen it that if you liked someone, you wanted to talk a lot with him, share tasty dishes and cold drinks with him. You wanted him to see your best side and he was unbelievably awesome in your heart.

However, when you loved a person, you wanted to possess him as a whole regardless of all the shortcomings he had. You were just willing to take it all.

Just like how she uncontrollably fell in love with Shen Yuechuan even though she knew that Shen Yuechuan had countless female confidantes and had loved many women.

Realizing that she felt more than just liking for Shen Yuechuan, Xiao Yunyun suddenly felt discouraged. She lowered her head and held her chin in dismay. “Cousin, if there is no outcome between Shen Yuechuan and me, what do you think I should do?”

“...As for this, you can refer to Xiaoxi,” Su Jianan said, “Xiaoxi has been chasing after my brother for more than ten years. Everyone thinks that she and my brother won’t work out. However, she never thought about the results. She just wanted to do her best in the pursuit. As for the time she didn’t spend in pursuing my brother, she just lived in the way she wanted to.”

Xiao Yunyun seriously thought about it and suddenly nodded, “I know what I should do!”

Su Jianan felt a little gratified. “So, when are you going to give Yuechuan a hint that you like him?”

“Hint?” Xiao Yunyun shook her head with a blank face. “I don’t intend to give a hint to Shen Yuechuan! Didn’t you just tell me to do what I want to?”

“...”

Su Jianan was speechless.

“Why did Xiao Yunyun only hear the latter half of the sentence? Her focus was on the first half of the sentence, okay? It was appropriate to take the initiative, take the initiative!”

Although it was said that this was an era in which all people would flirt with each other, the cooler thing was for the girls to flirt with men!

Nevertheless, according to Xiao Yunyun’s character, she could not do anything that Luo Xiaoxi did.

But Xiao Yunyun was still lucky because Shen Yuechuan also liked her.

Shen Yuechuan was an old hand in love. He should know very well how to deal with such a little girl like Xiao Yunyun. Su Jianan did not need to worry too much.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Shen Yuechuan would catch up with Xiao Yunyun sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Su Jianan was relieved to change the topic and discussed what to eat at night with Xiao Yunyun.

After Xiao Yunyun came to City A, she was influenced by someone and turned into a big glutton. She was even more greedy for the cooking skills of the five-star chef of the Lu Family, so she was easily led astray by Su Jianan.

After dinner, it was completely dark. Xiao Yunyun, who had eaten and drunk enough, stretched her arms and said, “Cousin, I’m going to the hospital to be on duty.”

Su Jianan arranged a driver to send Xiao Yunyun out.

It was not yet seven o’clock, and Lu Boyan definitely hadn’t come back yet. Xiao Yunyun was a little worried. “Cousin, will you wait for my cousin-in-law to come back?”

“He usually comes back before eight o’clock.” Su Jianan smiled, and her eyes were full of relief. “Don’t worry about me. Just go to work. Even if something really happens, I’ll know how to deal with it.”

Xiao Yunyun thought about it and felt that there was really no need for her to worry about Su Jianan. She got into the car without worry and asked the driver to send her to the hospital.

At the moment, Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan were just setting off from the company, and their high-performance car was heading for a hotel in the city center.

Shen Yuechuan sat in the passenger’s seat and thought for a long time before making a decision. “Boss Lu, there’s something I think I should tell you.”

Lu Boyan was reading a document. When he heard the words, he didn’t even raise his eyes. Instead, he just asked faintly, “What’s the matter?”

“I found Yunyun staring at someone at the wedding of Yicheng and Xiaoxi yesterday. Guess who she is?” Shen Yuechuan deliberately pretended to be mysterious.

Lu Boyan turned over the document, and his tone was still calm. “Who?”

“You’ll see this person later—” Shen Yuechuan said word by word, “Xia, Mi, Li!”

Something flashed through Lu Boyan’s eyes quickly. He looked up at Shen Yuechuan coldly and said, “Make it clear.” Xiao Yunyun and Xia Mili didn’t know each other at all, so there was no reason for her to keep an eye on Xia Mili.

But if someone else asked Xiao Yunyun to keep an eye on Xia Mili, then the whole thing would be different.

Shen Yuechuan carefully observed Lu Boyan’s expression and said, “You’ve thought of it, too. Maybe it was Jianan who asked Yunyun to keep an eye on Xia Mili.”

Lu Boyan almost rejected Shen Yuechuan’s guess without thinking. “It can’t be Jianan.”

He knew Su Jianan too well. If Su Jianan really suspected that there was something between him and Xia Mili, she would ask him directly instead of monitoring him.

Su Jianan was gentle, but she pursued efficiency when she did things. In her opinion, no way could be more efficient than communication. If she really doubted something, she would definitely mention it.

Following him secretly... It sounded like something Luo Xiaoxi, who had used to stalk Su Yicheng every day, would do.

That was to say, it was likely Luo Xiaoxi was the one who suspected that he had something to do with Xia Mili. However, on the day of the wedding, it was inconvenient for Luo Xiaoxi, so she asked Xiao Yunyun to stare at Xia Lili for her.

Su Jianan’s delivery date was getting closer and closer. The doctor privately warned Lu Boyan to try not to provoke Su Jianan’s mood as much as possible, otherwise, it would be very easy to get into trouble. This was also the reason why Lu Boyan did not mention Xia Mili to Su Jianan.

However, it seemed that Luo Xiaoxi would not let him escape the trouble.

After a moment of silence, Lu Boyan took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Su Yicheng.

Shen Yuechuan looked at Lu Boyan’s series of actions and did not know what to say. “Boss Lu, do you know what’s going on?”

“For the most part.” Lu Boyan changed the subject. “By the way, when are you going to confess to Yunyun?”

Speaking of this, Shen Yuechuan had a headache and pressed his temple hard. “Now, things are not as optimistic as I had thought.”

Lu Boyan frowned and closed the document. “What happened?”

“Some time ago, I found out that someone was looking up my information. I thought that it was Kang Ruicheng’s people who wanted to lay hands on me. In the end, I found that it was Jianan’s aunt, so I didn’t stop them.” Shen Yuechuan smiled bitterly. “Recently, she may have found out that I was an orphan. At noon today, she arranged a date between Yunyun and Qin Han.”

“...” Lu Boyan was silent for a moment. “If you want Qin Han to leave A City A, I can help you with that.”

“It’s not necessary.” Shen Yuechuan had an expression of calmness on his face. “It’s just Qin Han, and he won’t make me lose confidence in myself. Let’s compete fairly and let Yunyun make the choice. I won’t let myself lose.”

Lu Boyan smiled. “Very good.” Shen Yuechuan was full of confidence in himself. There was indeed no need for him to help.

They arrived at the hotel right on time. Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan got out of the car together and walked toward a private room in the hotel.

This private room had the best view of the hotel. At this time, there were already several well-dressed men and women in the private room, and one of them was Xia Mili.

The seat next to Xia Mili was Yuan Xun, the president of the MR group in the Eastern District.

The final goal of this dinner was to promote the cooperation between Lu Enterprises and MR Group.

Before this, Yuan Xun and Lu Boyan had never been in contact, but he had heard of Lu Boyan’s style of doing things. He uncertainly asked Xia Mili, “Do you think it will succeed?”

“As long as we have enough sincerity and good conditions, Lu Enterprises will not refuse us.” In comparison, Xia Mili was full of confidence. “What’s more, this is also a good chance to open up the North American market for Lu Enterprises. Although the initiative is in their hands, I believe Bo... Boss Lu won’t refuse.”

Yuan Xun smiled meaningfully and said, “Everyone here is from our company and they all know that you and Lu Boyan have been classmates for many years. When you were at school, you almost became his girlfriend. So it’s nothing to say his name directly.”

Xia Mili smiled slightly and said, “Boss Yuan, that was a long time ago.”

“But you haven’t forgotten it yet, have you?” Yuan Xun’s smile was very meaningful. “Although it is said that Lu Boyan loves his wife as much as his life, you should know men well after struggling in business for so long. Lu Boyan’s wife is pregnant now. This is a good opportunity for you.”

Xia Mili just smiled. At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and the slender and tall figures of Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan appeared at the door.

Including Xia Mili and Yuan Xun, all the people in the private room stood up at the same time. Yuan Xun first nodded and said, “Boss Lu, Special Personal Assistant Shen, welcome.”

The waiter pulled out two chairs. Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan sat down respectively, and negotiation was carried out among the delicacies and wine.

In addition to her wisdom and courage, the reason why Xia Mi Li was able to get the position in the company was that she had a strong persuasion. As for Yuan Xun, he was the regional president of a multinational group, so his strength could not be underestimated.

During the dinner, each of the two parties’ words determined their own interests.

No one had figured out Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan’s negotiation routines over such a long time. Yuan Xun and Xia Mili were careful, but they still failed to convince Lu Boyan completely.

In the end, Yuan Xun gave up the negotiation and simply talked about their relationship.

“Boss Lu.” Yuan Xun poured wine into Lu Boyan’s red wine glass. “You and Xiaoxia are old classmates. You only met this once after so many years. To be fair, the atmosphere of our dinner shouldn’t be so stiff.”

Lu Boyan smiled slightly. “Mr. Yuan, we are talking about cooperation.”

The implication was that the cooperation and the friendship between classmates were two different things. It was better not to mix these things up on the negotiating table.

Xia Mili was embarrassed, but Lu Boyan hadn’t said anything clearly. She could only swallow her embarrassment back and bring it back to the topic of cooperation.

She understood Lu Boyan more or less, and naturally understood another level of Lu Boyan’s meaning: he wouldn’t decide it for the sake of their friendship.

When a serious investigation was made, the relationship between her and Lu Boyan was only limited to that of old classmates. In fact, they were not so familiar.

The negotiation lasted for more than an hour. In the end, all the conditions were almost settled. Xia Mili suppressed her expectation and asked, “Boss Lu, what do you think of it?”

Lu Boyan pondered for half a second. “I’ll give you the answer tomorrow.”

Xia Mili was stunned. “Why do you want us to wait for one night?”

“It’s not a trivial matter for our company. I can’t make a hasty decision.” With this, Lu Boyan looked at the time. “What’s more, it’s getting late, and my wife is still waiting for me at home.”
