After Su Yicheng left, Lu Boyan received a phone call.

  Su Jianan didn’t know who called. After finishing the call, he stood at the french windows for a long time without a move.

  Su Jianan came to look at him and found him frowning. She held his hands tightly, and asked him softly, “What’s the matter? It’s for the company?”


  “No.” Lu Boyan sighed, rubbing Su Jianan’s supple small hand in his palm, and then answered, “It’s a family member of the previous financial director.”


  Su Jianan dropped her eyes. A trace of coldness flashed through her eyes.

  “Everything will be OK. And their family…… will also receive an explanation.” The words she said sounded firm while she wasn’t aware of it.

  Su Jianan firmly believed that if they solved the financial problem, Lu Boyan could prove the innocence of the staff members of the accounting department and led Lu Enterprises to get through the crisis.

  Before dawn, when Lu Boyan was still sleeping, Su Jianan woke up silently.

  The cold wind was howling outside but the room was still warm for Lu Boyan was lying beside her.

  She looked at his handsome features by the dim wall lamp. She used to be obsessed with him, but now…… she was in deep love with him.

  In the afternoon, Kang Ruicheng said that he would give her time to think over. However, after she received the phone call from Han Ruoxi, she actually decided then.

  Compared with Lu Boyan risking so much and even losing everything, it’s nothing to her to leave Lu Boyan.

  Leaving Lu Boyan, she could survive. But Lu Boyan couldn’t lose his innate pride and the trust of thousands of employees.

  Su Jianan buried her head against Lu Boyan’s chest. Hearing the pit-a-pat beats of his heart, she closed her eyes peacefully.

  The fate of theirs had been manipulated with force by others.

  From now on, every minute of them staying together was a countdown.

  The next day.

  Lu Boyan woke up from deep sleep and suddenly felt empty in his arms. So he subconsciously reached out and touched the other side—no one!

  He opened his eyes swiftly and sure enough, Su Jianan wasn’t here.

  Usually, her any movements would wake him up. But today he slept so deeply and was not aware of it. Maybe it was because he had exhausted himself too much these days.

  He washed up and went downstairs. As expected, Su Jianan was waiting for him with breakfast she prepared.

  When Su Jianan saw Lu Boyan come downstairs, she approached him with a smile. Tying his necktie and tidying up the collar of his suit, she said, “I will accompany you to work today.”


  Lu Boyan looked at her, with a little doubt in his eyes.

  “I had asked for a long leave with Captain Yan yesterday, but it was so boring at home.” Su Jianan was eager to have a try working with him. “I want to go to the firm to accompany you!”


  Lu Boyan took Su Jianan to the company and received many surprised eyes. However, Su Jianan didn’t mind and held his hand tightly. She wanted to stick to him like a koala. When someone greeted her, she smiled back but didn’t loosen her grip.

  To save time to take her to France, Lu Boyan arranged his schedule full these days, and there was a pile of files on the table. He sat down and began to work. However, he found that the decision to take Su Jianan here…… was totally wrong.

  Su Jianan was quiet. She just sat on the chair, supporting her chin with both hands and fixing her eyes on him.

  If he said it didn’t affect him, it would be pure bullshit.

  Lu Boyan closed the papers and leaned on the chair back, staring at Su Jianan straightly. “Why do you look at me?”


  Su Jianan smiled and said it bluntly, “Because you are handsome.”


  Lu Boyan was not easily fooled and squinted, “But I remembered that you preferred watching movies here.”


  “Oh,” Su Jianan said easily but firmly, “Darling, actually, you are more interesting than movies.”


  “.……”


  “Well……” Su Jianan felt certainly embarrassed, so she took one opened file to Lu Boyan, “You still have lots of work to do, so you can continue to work now, and I continue to watch you!”


  Lu Boyan was really busy so he had no time to waste, then he soon got back to work.

  From Su Jianan’s view, she could see clearly Lu Boyan’s straight nose and dense eyebrows. She didn’t know what he read in the file, because he would knit her brows sometimes and then slowly loosen them.

  The moment he knitted and relaxed his brows, his gesture was very attractive.

  Su Jianan carved this action deeply in her mind.

  In the remaining time, she wanted to fill up her memory with all of Lu Boyan’s small actions. It had better be long enough to accompany her through the rest of her life.

  Lu Boyan finished reading all the files on the table at twelve and put the pen back in the brush pot. He turned to Su Jianan and found she was still in that gesture, fixing her eyes on him. She stood up before he spoke. “I’m a little hungry, let’s go for lunch.”


  Lu Boyan was going to ask the secretary to book a restaurant, Su Jianan stopped him and said, “I want to go to the staff canteen.”


  Lu Boyan preferred to have lunch in his office if there was no engagement. Though the food was also made by the staff canteen’s chef, he never ate in the staff canteen.

  It was not because of his status, but the noisy environment he couldn’t get used to and sights from all around when he was eating.

  Su Jianan was quite excited and pulled him downstairs to the canteen with a reason she just came up with. “If someone ask us why we go to the staff canteen, we can tell him…… we’re saving money!”


  “.……” Lu Boyan couldn’t help laughing.

  Half the staff knew the president’s wife came to the company this morning, but it was quite amazing to saw both of them in the canteen.

  The noisy canteen became quiet at that moment and hundreds of people stared at Lu Boyan and Su Jianan. Some staff even put their chopsticks down and stood up to greet them cautiously. Since then, Su Jianan realized it might be a bad idea to come here.

  Shen Yuechuan heard the news and came. He asked the staff to sit down and said, “It’s rest time now. Boss Lu and her wife is only here for lunch, just like all of you. So don’t stand up and enjoy your meal.”


  The staff sat again, and then the atmosphere in the canteen recovered. Su Jianan and Lu Boyan chose their meal and sat down at a table.

  Su Jianan tried one salmon sushi and nodded. “The chef did a good job.”


  “Will we hire an unprofessional chef?” Shen Yuechuan scoffed and complained. “Thousands of staff are easy to cater to. But your husband isn’t. But now everything is fine because you’ve conquered him.”


  Su Jianan was taken aback by his words.

  It was true, Lu Boyan was so picky about food. If it was not the type of food he liked, he would reject it directly. He was so willful that he eventually had serious problems with his stomach. If she left……

  “What are you thinking about?” Lu Boyan stirred the salad and pushed it before Su Jianan, “Hurry up and eat.”


  Su Jianan came to her senses and took a bite of it. Though she found herself in a bad appetite right now, she must pretend to enjoy it.

  It was the last time they spent together. How could she not cherish it and spend it happily?

  After lunch, Lu Boyan went back to the office. Su Jianan walked around in the secretary’s office and also returned.

  Lu Boyan thought that Su Jianan might be bored of him for the whole morning, but this time she moved the chair beside him and sat down carelessly.

  He tilted his head, and Su Jianan immediately smiled and pretended to surrender. “I will sit here quietly and promise I won’t bother you!”


  Actually, in such a short distance, he could smell the scent from her occasionally. And of course, it had disturbed him.

  But he couldn’t deny, such kind of interruption…… was enjoyable for him.

  Lu Boyan said nothing and continued to work. At two o’clock, Lu Boyan had a meeting for more than an hour, and he found Su Jianan was yawning leaning on the table when he came back.

  He walked towards her and asked, “Do you want to have a rest in the lounge?”


  “No,” Su Jianan straightened her back. “I’m not sleepy.”


  Lu Boyan knew her well. If she was sleepy…… she couldn’t help it.

  He sat down to work and talked to Su Jianan between his reading. At first, she could answer with a few mumblings, leaning on the table. Nevertheless, soon after, there was no feedback.

  He looked at her and found she indeed had fallen asleep.

  Lu Boyan put down the pen and picked Su Jianan up. She glanced at him with a sleepy face. Lu Boyan walked while saying, “I will take you to the lounge.”


  Su Jianan didn’t even mumble this time. She turned around and buried her head into Lu Boyan’s arms, and then fell into deep sleep.

  She didn’t sleep too deep and still could feel things. She felt sleepy and was put in a warm quilt. Someone carefully tucked her in and kissed her gently between her eyebrows.

  At that moment, her breath was full of the familiar breath of Lu Boyan’s, which made her feel at ease.

  Surrounded by this easiness, Su Jianan fell into deep sleep.

  When she woke up, it was almost six o’clock. Daytime in winter was short, the setting sun dimmed down, and the night fell.

  Lu Boyan pushed open the gate, seeing Su Jianan awake. He took her coat from the hanger. “Get up, let’s go home.”


  Go home—How beautiful the two words sounded, right?

  Su Jianan obediently got up and got dressed, coming downstairs with Lu Boyan.

  At some point, she got bold and decided not to care about how the staff saw them. She clutched to Lu Boyan as if she wanted to stick herself on him. “Darling……”


  For just awoke, her voice full of lethargic, called darling, darling…… The voice was sweet and graceful, those secretaries stared at her strange. But she seemed didn’t care and still pestering Lu Boyan.

  In the elevator, Lu Boyan squinted his eyes. “What’s wrong with you today?”


  Su Jianan blinked her eyes and was puzzled, “What happened?”


  “You are strange today.” Lu Boyan said.

  Su Jianan curled her lips, flung herself into his arms and embraced him suddenly, smilingly said, “Which kind of strange?”


  Lu Boyan tapped her lips with long fingers, “Here.”


  Usually, she only sweetly called him darling on special occasions or when she was in a good mood.

  However, she wasn’t careful with those words today. She used them more frequently than usual, which made his heart itch as if a kitten were poking on it.

  Su Jianan knew what Lu Boyan meant, but she wanted to play a trick on him.

  She stood on tiptoe and kissed him, her peach-blossom-like eyes seemed brighter and the smile on her face looked bigger.

  Then, she asked slowly, “How about now?”


  Lu Boyan squinted his eyes again, and Su Jianan received the signal——It was danger.

  That being said, the elevator carriage was just this large. She couldn’t escape. If Lu Boyan wanted to do something, she would just let him.

  Lu Boyan indeed wanted to do something but just as he seized Su Jianan, the elevator door suddenly opened. “Ding—” Here was the first floor.
