Chapter 127
After arriving home, Su Jianan applied her face with ice again, but there was no way to diminish the swelling immediately .
She sighed at the mirror that this week was so unlucky— every time when she met someone of Chen Family .
She then put on her home dress and went downstairs to prepare dinner, but found that the chef was already busy with that, Uncle Xu said, "Young Master has arranged . Young Madam, you have a wound on your face, just take a rest . "
Su Jianan didn't know what to do, so she went to grind the beans and made some coffee . She brought it upstairs to the study and asked Lu Boyan if he wanted to drink . He was looking at the documents, then he pushed his coffee cup directly to her .
Su Jianan poured a cup for him, and picked up her own while checking his study .
She came in a few times before, but now she knew that sunset can be seen here .
Outside the transparent glass window, the golden sun had a dazzling afterglow, which radiated like rays instead of a whole piece of sunshine like it was at noon . The glow projected a very shallow fluctuant gold in front of the window, which made the bookshelf next to it even darker .
The books on the bookshelf were carefully sorted and placed in neat rows . The faint ink scent floated out, which made her feel that the room deserved most of the time .
"Lu Boyan," she asked, "you said that the sunset at the winery is very good . Is it better than it in your study?"
"It's better than here," Lu Boyan said, "I have holiday at the end of the year, let's take you to taste some new wine . "
End of the year? Now it was in July, Su Jianan felt that it was still early, but it also seemed soon .
Just like her marriage life with Lu Boyan . Sometimes they respected each other like guests, but the occasional intimacy between them gave her the illusion that they were not different from the real couple .
She smiled . "Well, you promised twice plus last night, don't break your promises!"
Lu Boyan put together the documents, and looked at Su Jianan with a sly look . "Do I look like someone who fails to keep his words?"
Su Jianan pouted her mouth . "Who knows if you would lie to me again like you promised me to take me to the amusement park and disappeared the next day . "
She had never been to the amusement park before for various reasons, so she had great expectations for Lu Boyan's commitment . But he suddenly left . After that, she refused to let others to take her there . After she grew up, she just realized why she was so stubborn at that time .
She pretended to be very regretful . "Of all the people I know, I am the only one who has never been to an amusement park till now . Lu Boyan, it's all because of you!"
Lu Boyan hesitated for a moment . "Why don't you let your brother take you there?"
The question revealed Su Jianan's vulnerability . She coughed . "My brother was busy preparing materials for applying for the university abroad at that time, he was too busy to spend time with me even for a little while . My mother was in a bad condition so she couldn't stand up to take those entertainment projects . Then . . . my mom left, and I've lost my interest in the amusement park . "
In fact, she didn't lose her interest, and she was eager to go while listening to others talking about how fun it was . But as soon as she thought of Lu Boyan's promise, she subconsciously refused to go with others .
She had been waiting for Lu Boyan— stubbornly waiting, for more than a decade .
"Let's go there on next vacation," Lu Boyan appeared to be really calm and light, but his voice sounded very convincing, "I'll keep my promise this time . "
"Your nose will grow as long as Pinocchio's if you lie to me again!"
Su Jianan then left the coffee to him and left the study .
She found out that the chef specially made her porridge in the kitchen when she had dinner, probably considering that it was inconvenient for her to chew . When Lu Boyan finished eating, he said that he needed to go out . Su Jianan asked subconsciously . "It's late, where are you going?" She looked like a little wife who complained to her husband about his going out early and coming home late .
"To the company," Lu Boyan smiled with sinister charm, "of course it's not impossible if you want me to stay with you . "
Su Jianan compressed her lips and made a face . "Who wants you to stay, you can go wherever you want, I am going back to my room . "
She almost ran upstairs, and still panted after returning to the room . She went to the window and saw Lu Boyan got on Uncle Qian's car .
She suddenly realized that she actually started to care about Lu Boyan when he said that he could stay with her .
Before that, he often went out inexplicably and came back in the middle of the night, and she didn't even ask for a word, because she was afraid that she would bother him, and cross the line as she thought she was Mrs . Lu .
In the end, she still could not control and crossed the line, but Lu Boyan . . . didn't seem to be bothered by her .
Undeniably, it made Su Jianan feel so delighted .
In the next few days, Lu Boyan suddenly became very busy . He often sent Su Jianan to work in the morning, but basically it was Uncle Qian who went to pick up her when she got off work . He sometimes came back after 10 o'clock, and sometimes even stayed out until the early morning when Su Jianan had already fell asleep .
Chen Xuanxuan's mother was detained, and the wound on Su Jianan's face healed after two days, only leaving a very shallow scar . The doctor said that it would take a week to disappear .
Although Su Jianan wasn't like Luo Xiaoxi, who would rather die than being ugly, she still cared very much about this face . So she felt depressed when she thought that she had to live with the scar for a while .
Lu Boyan came home very early this evening, noticing that Su Jianan sat on the sofa sulkily and asking her what happened . She said with a sad face, "I am disfigured . Will you dislike me?"
