When Su Jian’an came out of the study, she was already as still as a pool of water, lying in Lu Boyan’s arms like a lazy and sated kitten.

  Back in the room, Lu Boyan whispered, “Go take a shower?”


  Su Jian’an had sweated a lot just now, and she could not wait to take a shower. She snuggled into Lu Boyan’s arms and said, “Okay.”


  The bathtub was soon filled with water, and Lu Boyan put Su Jian’an down in the bathtub. Su Jian’an immediately felt that she was engulfed in a bubble of warmth. She opened her eyes comfortably and wanted to shift her position, only to see Lu Boyan standing by the bathtub, taking off his clothes and showing his strong and good figure.

  Having been married for so long, Su Jian’an had seen Lu Boyan’s naked body countless times, but she rarely saw it when she was so unprepared, especially after they had sex.

  “Ugh!”


  Su Jian’an let out a low cry and subconsciously covered her face. However, she could not help peeking at Lu Boyan through the gaps between her fingers, only to meet Lu Boyan’s faintly smiling eyes. She felt guilty and hurriedly closed her eyes again.

  Lu Boyan calmly lifted up his long legs and stepped into the bathtub, which made the water ripple.

  Su Jian’an’s hand slid down, revealing half of her eyes. She looked at Lu Boyan with a blush. “You……”


  “Uh-huh.”


  Lu Boyan motioned for Su Jian’an to go on in a sexy voice while he laid down and held Su Jian’an in his arms.

  The double bathtub was big enough for two people to lie down in it. Moreover, when they hugged each other in such an “intimate” way, the ambiguous atmosphere was more pronounced than usual.

  Su Jian’an wished that she could huddle up into a ball or simply become invisible.

  Looking at how shy Su Jian’an was, Lu Boyan wanted to tease her. He scooped up some water in the bathtub and slowly poured it on her.

  Su Jian’an was sensitive. When Lu Boyan did this, she felt that the parts of her body where the water drops touched were even more sensitive than other parts. She could not help but huddle into Lu Boyan’s arms.

  As if playing with a cat, Lu Boyan poured the water on different parts of her body, and Su Jian’an became increasingly aroused and cuddled up to him.

  He asked knowingly, “What’s wrong?”


  Su Jian’an blushed and was too embarrassed to say that she was aroused. She casually found an excuse. “I’m tired.”


  Lu Boyan suddenly said considerately, “I’ll give you a massage.”


  He massaged Su Jian’an’s shoulders with appropriate strength. Even if Su Jian’an was not actually tired, his gentleness still made her enjoy herself. She closed her eyes subconsciously and gave herself up to Lu Boyan’s service.

  Not long after, Su Jian’an found something strange.

  Wasn’t Lu Boyan massaging her? Why did he put her legs around his waist? Also, where were his hands?

  Su Jian’an glared at Lu Boyan with a blush, and her breathing was much more rapid. “Your, your hands are in the wrong places!”


  Lu Boyan said seriously, “I’ll check it out.” Then, he suddenly rubbed the places hard.

  Su Jian’an shivered. She swallowed her groan, but her voice still softened uncontrollably. “What are you checking?”


  Lu Boyan’s look grew more intense and his voice gradually became hoarse. “The stock of the granary.”


  Su Jian’an was amused and blushed. She asked somewhat angrily, “What’s the result?”


  “The stock is sufficient.” Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an meaningfully. “I think that Xiyu and Xiangyi need help.”


  What a nice excuse!

  However, Su Jian’an still could not help cursing. “Rogue!”


  Lu Boyan forced his member upward and into Su Jian’an, filling her up. Su Jian’an groaned in a low voice, followed by countless gentle moans.

  Lu Boyan was aroused probably because of the novelty of having sex in a different place so Su Jian’an constantly begged for mercy. Her mind went blank several times as if she had gone to nirvana before returning to the secular world.

  After their intercourse, Lu Boyan picked Su Jian’an up from the water, carried her back to the room, and put her on the bed.

  Su Jian’an fell asleep immediately, not only because she was sleepy, but because she was also tired.

  When she woke up the next day, Su Jian’an had a sore waist and neck. She went to Lu Boyan resentfully and held him accountable.

  Lu Boyan seriously thought for a while and said, “Shall we get a more suitable bathtub?”


  “What do you mean by talking about a more suitable bathtub?!”


  Su Jian’an said nothing and silently left to make soup for Tang Yulan and Shen Yuechuan.

  After making the soup, Su Jian’an asked the driver to send her to the hospital. She did not expect to meet Mu Sijue as soon as she got out of the car, and the latter was in a bad mood.

  There had always been an unfathomable dangerous look in Mu Sijue’s eyes, which made people wary about approaching him easily.

  And now, he also looked displeased, like a beast that had been infuriated and was ready to roar and kill at any moment.

  The fear made Su Jian’an’s heart pound uncontrollably.

  “If it’s because I slandered you, I could apologize. Please don’t be angry!”


  Su Jian’an plucked up her courage and asked tentatively, “Sijue, what’s wrong?”


  “Shanshan is hospitalized,” Mu Sijue said with a gloomy face, “and I’m going to see her.”


  Su Jian’an was stunned for a moment and felt surprised. Yang Shanshan even made a scene in the hotel yesterday, and why was she suddenly hospitalized today?

  She wanted to ask Mu Sijue, but he had already strode away gloomily.

  Su Jian’an had no choice but to ask Shen Yuechuan if he knew why Yang Shanshan was hospitalized after sending the soup to his suite.

  “I don’t know.” After a pause, Shen Yuechuan continued, “However, since Yang Shanshan could get Mu Qi to come to the hospital, it means that she must have made a big scene. Are you going to probe into this matter?”


  “I can’t.” Su Jian’an hurriedly refused, with a look of horror.

  “Hey?” Shen Yuechuan looked at Su Jian’an with great interest. “Are you afraid of Mu Qi?”


  “.……” Su Jian’an hesitated, but finally admitted it. “I am indeed afraid of Sijue.”


  Hearing that, Xiao Yunyun jumped over and looked at Su Jian’an curiously. “Cousin, how did you offend Boss Mu?”


  Su Jian’an told them everything about her “slandering” Mu Sijue. In the end, she did not forget to defend herself. “I just wanted Yang Shanshan to be upset at that time. I didn’t expect that…… I would get into trouble.”


  Shen Yuechuan was weak, but when he saw Su Jian’an’s look, he still could not help laughing out loud and did not hide his gloating at all.

  Su Jian’an was embarrassed. “Stop laughing. I just met Sijue in the parking lot, and I almost broke out in a cold sweat.”


  Xiao Yunyun chuckled and said, “Cousin, only my cousin-in-law can save you now.”


  “Yunyun is right.” Shen Yuechuan shrugged and looked at Su Jian’an helplessly. “You should go to Boyan.”


  Su Jian’an recalled what happened last night.

  She had indeed asked Lu Boyan for help, and then something unspeakable happened……

  Shen Yuechuan looked at Su Jian’an’s conflicted look and thought that she was hesitating. He reminded her, “Your husband is a businessman. It’s basically impossible for him to help you in vain, unless you provide something of equal value.”


  Su Jian’an was speechless. She had already paid the price, but she had not obtained anything of equal value from Lu Boyan.

  Huh, did she suffer a loss?

  Seeing Su Jian’an’s look becoming even more conflicted, Shen Yuechuan continued, “You can also take the initiative to apologize to Sijue. After all, you are Boyan’s wife. For Boyan’s sake, Mu Qi won’t blame you.”


  While Su Jian’an and Shen Yuechuan were having a heated discussion, Mu Sijue was in trouble.

  After parting with him last night, Yang Shanshan kept trying to get in touch with him, but he was busy with his own business and ignored her.

  The last message sent by Yang Shanshan read: “If you don’t call me back, I’ll commit suicide.”


  It was two hours later when Mu Sijue saw the message. He asked the hotel staff to check on Yang Shanshan and found that she had taken too many sleeping pills.

  The hotel staff called an ambulance, and Mu Sijue had to rush to the hospital.

  After having her stomach pumped, Yang Shanshan woke up. She insisted that Mu Sijue had had sex with her the night before yesterday and asked Mu Sijue to be responsible for her. Otherwise, she would tell her father about it.

  Their affairs must not be reported to their elders.

  Mu Sijue said with a sullen face, “Shanshan, I’ll say it again. Go and find out what happened that night!”


  “I know very well that we had sex!” Yang Shanshan was very stubborn. “Brother Sijue, are you trying to escape your responsibility?”


  Mu Sijue had no responsibility toward Yang Shanshan at all, so there was no need to continue this conversation.

  Mu Sijue turned around and left Yang Shanshan’s ward. He first visited Tang Yulan, and then went to find Shen Yuechuan.

  Su Jian’an and Shen Yuechuan were still in a discussion when Mu Sijue suddenly came over. She was surprised and took a careful look at Mu Sijue, finding that there was something wrong with his expression.

  Su Jian’an asked tentatively, “What’s wrong with Yang Shanshan?”


  She asked this question because she guessed that Mu Sijue looked unhappy probably because of Yang Shanshan. After all, Mu Sijue came to the hospital because of Yang Shanshan.

  Mu Sijue hated having his thoughts seen by others. He frowned and did not answer Su Jian’an immediately.

  Su Jian’an noticed Mu Sijue’s impatience. She coughed and said, “I can help you get rid of Yang Shanshan.”


  Mu Sijue looked at Su Jian’an in surprise. “Do you have a way?”


  “I can try,” Su Jian’an said, “and as long as you cooperate with me, I can make Yang Shanshan give up on you. On the contrary, you have to promise me one thing.”


  Mu Sijue said in a cold voice, “As long as it has nothing to do with Xu Youning, I can promise you anything.”


  “.…… You think too much. It has nothing to do with Youning.” Su Jian’an held back her laughter. “I just want to ask if you can forgive my slandering you after I help you get rid of Yang Shanshan.” After a pause, Su Jian’an continued, “Otherwise, every time I see you in the future, I want to run……”


  Su Jian’an’s so-called “slandering” was actually true for the time before Mu Sijue met Xu Youning.

  Now, Mu Sijue did not care much about it.

  However, since Su Jian’an proposed it, he did not mind agreeing to it.

  “Deal,” Mu Sijue said.
