Inside the hospital ward—


  The last thing Lu Boyan remembered was the elevator door closing.

  Just like that day, he had no time to rush to the hospital to stop Su Jianan from getting rid of the baby. Today he had no time to make her stay.

  The heavy pain knocked him down, and he fell to the ground. Darkness surrounded him.

  He felt like he had slept for half a century. When he woke up, it was silent. The whole ward was only dimly lit by a wall lamp. He vaguely saw a person at the bedside.

  It was not Su Jianan, she had already left with Jiang Shaokai.

  Tang Yulan noticed that Lu Boyan woke up and turned on the big chandelier, and the light suddenly filled the room.

  Lu Boyan squinted to get used to the light and saw the person sitting at the bed and called out, “Mom.”


  Tang Yulan responded and tucked him in. “Hungry? I brought some soup; shall I heat it for you to eat?”


  Lu Boyan nodded, so Tang Yulan got up and went to the outside kitchen.

  Lu Boyan removed the quilt and got up. His physical discomfort had completely disappeared, and he walked to the window. The night view of the city fell into his sight.

  He remembered Su Jianan’s every move today. When he was sick, her distress was genuine, as well as the fact that she had left with Jiang Shaokai resolutely.

  The contradiction before and after could not be explained. He certainly missed something.

  Tang Yulan came in with hot soup, and she saw Lu Boyan standing still at the window.

  She walked over to him. “Jianan should be sleeping at this time. Don’t think about it, come over and eat something, so that you won’t have a stomachache again.”


  Lu Boyan sat down on the sofa and picked up the soup. Tang Yulan suddenly asked, “What do you think about Jianan’s thing this time?”


  “I do not believe it.”


  Lu Boyan’s tone was faint, but each word contained extreme determination.

  He did not believe that Su Jianan was going to divorce him. After last night, he would not believe it even more.

  He only believed that Su Jianan had something hidden from him.

  Tang Yulan was a little gratified. “I don’t believe it either. But what is going on here?”


  “Mom, don’t worry about it,” Lu Boyan said. “I will figure it out.”


  Even if Tang Yulan wanted to take care of it, she did not know where to start. So she sighed and nodded. In this case, other than believing in her son, she had no better choice.

  After eating the soup, Lu Boyan had Shen Yuechuan take Tang Yulan back, then called the attending doctor to talk about his discharge.

  The doctor was very embarrassed. “Mr. Lu, in this situation, it is really not suitable for you to be discharged. Otherwise, it is not as simple as an injection if you come in next time, and it is very likely that you need surgery.”


  “Tomorrow afternoon, help me get discharged from the hospital.” Lu Boyan didn’t want to discuss it. “I have a lot of things to deal with, and it is not convenient for me to stay in the hospital.”


  “.……Fine.” The doctor ground his teeth and promised him. “A few more checkups will be done on you tomorrow morning. If the results are optimistic, you can leave the hospital. But if you have any discomfort after being discharged, you must come back to be checked out in time.”


  In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Boyan was discharged from the hospital. A large group of reporters surrounded the hospital.

  He frowned, thinking that the hospital had leaked the news, but then saw that Han Ruoxi came out from a minivan, smile, and come over to him under the view of the cameras.

  “Hey,” Shen Yuechuan sighed, “this is called a strategy! Is Miss. Han trying to make the love affair between you to be true?”


  “Look at the media that came,” Lu Boyan said, “and go greet their editors.”


  Shen Yuechuan was surprised. “Do you really need me to?”


  Lu Boyan looked at him with cold eyes and Shen Yuechuan immediately went to make the call……

  At this time, Han Ruoxi came over to Lu Boyan, laughing in a charming and shy way, and said generously, “I’m here to pick you up.”


  Lu Boyan looked at the media reporter behind Han Ruoxi.

  Han Ruoxi smiled and shrugged helplessly. “I can do nothing about it, they can always get my schedule.”


  Lu Boyan hooked his lips. If looking closely, only coldness in that smile could be seen.

  Han Ruoxi was stunned and still did not respond, and the sound of the shutters suddenly stopped. The reporters of various media were answering their phones, and after hanging up the phone, they quickly left with a trace of horror on their faces.

  She slowly understood what Lu Boyan had done and barely maintained a smile. “Do you hate me so much that you don’t want to be in the same report as me?”


  “I don’t want to appear in the entertainment version of the newspapers.” Lu Boyan avoided Han Ruoxi and wanted to leave.

  He didn’t hate Han Ruoxi, he just didn’t even want to see this person, not to mention talk with her.

  “Stop!” Han Ruoxi blocked Lu Boyan’s way. “Why? Is Su Jianan not worse than me?”


  Lu Boyan squinted, and there was a coldness at the bottom of his eyes. “What qualifications do you have to be compared with her?”


  “.……” Endless sadness drowned Han Ruoxi’s heart. Everything she did was all for Lu Boyan, but she did not even qualify to be compared with his ex-wife.

  She shook her head in disbelief. “Boyan…… you were not like this before.”


  Although Lu Boyan did not explicitly say that he liked her, he still treated her differently than other women.

  He did not refuse to chat or eat with her or even care about her acting career. Without Lu Boyan, she did not know how many years it would take to attain her current achievements, and how many grievances would be required to have her current status.

  “Ruoxi,” Lu Boyan looked at Han Ruoxi, and in addition to the indifference in his eyes, there was only unfamiliarity, “you were not like this before, either.”


  At this time, Uncle Qian drove the car over. Lu Boyan got in the car and did not look back at Han Ruoxi, who was standing in the same place.

  Shen Yuechuan looked at her. If he was not mistaken, Han Ruoxi had tears on her cheeks.

  In his impression, Han Ruoxi was very concerned about her image, no matter when, and she would not easily forget herself in front of people, not to mention cry.

  Today, Lu Boyan really hurt her, but she also asked for it.

  Speaking of that, Han Ruoxi really should learn from him because he never pursued the wrong thing, no matter how beautiful it was.

  It was like a headhunter who didn’t understand the situation to probe him, and promised him the yearly salary of a million and the company’s share. But his first reaction was not excitement, as the high-ranking position was not suitable for him.

  Unlike Lu Boyan, who could work for 16 hours a day without eating, drinking, or having fun, he would feel that his life had too much suffering.

  Therefore, he would just be an assistant to Lu Boyan, and he was very happy when he watched Lu Boyan working.

  “Uhh,” Uncle Qian broke the silence inside the car, “go home or……?”


  Shen Yuechuan wanted to take Lu Boyan home, but Lu Boyan, who sat in the back seat, said before him, “Go to the company.”


  “You just left the hospital!” Shen Yuechuan screamed. “Go home and take a rest for half a day, I will take care of the company. Rest assured, I will not let the company go bankrupt.”


  Lu Boyan said, “I don’t want to deal with the company’s business.”


  Shen Yuechuan understood.

  For the current Lu Boyan, the company’s business was not more urgent than what he wanted to do.

  It was Su Jianan.

  Shen Yuechuan said nothing, even if he wanted to, he did not dare to say it. He did not want to be sent to the broken place where the bird did not poop.

  Lu Boyan’s discharge from the hospital caused media coverage, but no media dared to mention Han Ruoxi picking him up.

  It was obvious that so many reporters saw it, and a lot of photos were taken. But after Shen Yuechuan’s “greeting”, no media dared to hit the trigger, and they gradually realized that some things might not be what Han Ruoxi wanted them to see.

  Lu Boyan’s life was restored to how it was a week ago, and he had arranged endless work for himself every day, working more than 14 hours a day.

  The only difference was that at night, he no longer touched the wine. Others knew that he had just had his stomach bleeding so they didn’t force him to drink.

  In this way, he was awake every day when he returned home.

  He missed Su Jianan soberly.

  Since returning home that day, Su Jianan had never been to the house.

  First, Su Yicheng did not trust her to go out alone. Second, she became more and more lazy, and gradually became obsessed with the life of eating and sleeping. She never thought about going out.

  After finding out that Lu Boyan was discharged from the hospital, she was even more relieved, and she just slept every day.

  Su Yicheng was quite worried. “Jianan, I don’t mind supporting you. But you are pregnant, and proper walking is needed. Tomorrow, you will go downstairs to walk with me for 40 minutes after dinner.”


  “Oh, tomorrow will not work.” Su Jianan took an apple and leaned back on the sofa. “Tomorrow I have to have dinner with Captain Yan.”


  Su Yicheng did not know what to do, only to tell her, “Pay attention to when you eat, and don’t drink.”


  “Rest assured,” Su Jianan took a bite of an apple, “I know.”


  Before going to sleep, Su Jianan spat again, but the situation was more serious than before, and her stomach was empty. Her face was pale and it looked white like paper, without any vitality.

  Su Yicheng handed her a cup of warm water. “I will have Yunyun arrange a checkup for you the day after tomorrow.”


  Su Jianan counted the days, and it was almost time to do the first checkup. She nodded and said, “The book says that morning sickness is normal. For some people, it is serious while some people feel fine. As long as they can eat and drink, it should be no problem.”


  “You are carefree about it.” Su Yicheng smiled helplessly. “Go back to sleep.”


  “Good night!” Su Jianan returned to her room.

  The next day, Jiang Shaokai went to pick up Su Jianan to go to the hotel after work.

  Su Jianan wrapped herself up with a thick coat and a warm scarf before she went downstairs. Jiang Shaokai said, “They have already arrived at the hotel.”


  “Yeah,” Su Jianan put her bag aside, “then drive faster.”


  However, Jiang Shaokai still drove slowly, maybe because he was afraid that she was so sensitive that she might feel sick during the pregnancy. He had always been such a careful person.

  Su Jianan smiled and said, “The girl who will marry you in the future will be very happy!”


  Jiang Shaokai smiled a little and didn’t deny it.

  The girl he wanted to make happy was already married.

  When they arrived at the hotel, Jiang Shaokai said, “Today we are having a family dinner. My parents and uncle are here.”


  Su Jianan and Jiang Shaokai were not talking about the same situation, so she stupidly was worried. “Then would you have to run at both ends? You will be drunk.”


  “.……” Jiang Shaokai looked at Su Jianan silently. He was sure that Su Jianan had forgotten what he had said a few days ago.

  After being seen this way, Su Jianan remembered it suddenly and asked with uncertainty, “What arrangements do you have?”


  Jiang Shaokai mysteriously smiled. “You will know soon.”


  Su Jianan was intrigued, but no matter how she asked, Jiang Shaokai would not disclose half of it, she could only follow him.

  Just as they disappeared behind the hotel door, a black car drove into the hotel parking lot, and soon after, Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan got out from the car.

  Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan were outside the plan of Jiang Shaokai.
