Chapter 154: Back to the Past
After Chen Yuechuan and Mu Sijue left, Lu Boyan was the only one left in the huge office.
The documents piled up on the desk, but he stood in front of the window, with a small ignition of cigarette between his fingers, and thin ashes fell on the floor beside his feet.
He smoked very fiercely for a while, and during that time, he accidentally discovered that Su Yicheng was quitting smoking. When he saw him, he first asked him for cigarettes with pain.
"Where is your cigarette?" he asked Su Yicheng.
"It's not my sister, it's the one who followed you behind you when I was a child and called you 'Brother Bo Yan'." Su Yicheng sighed, but the smile on the corner of his lips was filled with happiness. "It's not good for me to think about smoking in my ear all day long. I forced me to quit smoking, and I also confiscated my cigarette and lighter."
He threw all his cigarette and lighter to Su Yicheng: "I'll give it to you."
It was not him who was forced to quit smoking, but he inexplicably endured the pain and quit smoking. Since then, he rarely smoked again. Even at such moments, he mostly only lighted the cigarette and let it burn it to ashes.
Chen Yuechuan made fun of him that he didn't dare to let Su Jianan know anything. That's right, once the matter was related to Su Jianan, he would be so cautious, look forward and become a completely unfamiliar self.
He once decided to bring Su Jianan into his world and give him his last choice.
But Su Jianan was so simple. If she knew everything, she would definitely choose to divorce him without hesitation and be with the person she really liked.
Habits are really terrible things. They have only been married for half a year, and he has refused to imagine the days without her after the divorce.
Reason told him that he would start today and slowly return to the past and return to the days without her.
When it was about to get off work, Su Jianan called: "Lu Boyan, I have to work overtime today. I can't go back around 11 o'clock. Where are you?"
"...I won't go back tonight." Lu Boyan closed his eyes, "Uncle Qian will go to pick you up."
As if she knew Lu Boyan was going to hang up the phone, Su Jianan called out, "Wait a minute!" After a pause, she asked, "Why don't you go home?"
Lu Boyan refused to imagine Su Jianan's current appearance, frozen his heart and his voice became cold and hard: "I have business."
Su Jianan was stunned by his voice for a moment, and after a while, he remembered "Oh" and said: "Then you can be busy."
During the test, Su Jianan was obviously absent-minded. Sometimes Jiang Shaokai called her several times, but she didn't react.
She didn't know if she was sensitive or suspicious. Lu Boyan just now... was so cold.
The coldness made her have an illusion, as if the sweetness after marriage, hugs, kisses and laughter had never happened, it was just a dream for her. In fact, her life with Lu Boyan was always like the first day of marriage. They didn't care about each other at all, as if she was just a stranger who lived under the same roof with him by chance. He knew that she would leave soon.
But he had just kissed her like that at noon and said he remembered that the tie was given by her.
"Jian An, what are you thinking? Time is up." Jiang Shaokai turned off the instrument, "Are you okay?"
Su Jianan came to his senses, shook his head, and focused his energy on work.
Don’t think too much, she said to herself, maybe Lu Boyan is really just busy?
But the woman's sixth sense was caused by the influence of the work, and Su Jianan was still very uneasy. She finished her work at around nine o'clock. After hesitating for a long time, she still called Lu Boyan.
After more than forty seconds, when Su Jianan thought Lu Boyan would not answer the phone, his voice came from the receiver: "What's wrong?"
"I'm off work." Su Jianan snatched the table and still plucked up the courage to say, "I...I don't want to go back, can you go to the company to find you?"
"..." After a long silence, Lu Boyan's voice finally rang again: "Jian An, you will disturb me when you come to the company. Be obedient and go home to sleep."
Su Jianan felt disappointed: "...Okay."
"I asked Uncle Qian to pick you up at 10 o'clock. He should be coming soon now." Lu Boyan said, "You go to the police station to take a look."
Su Jianan picked up her bag and walked to the door. When she saw Uncle Qian's car stop, she pursed her lips: "Uncle Qian is here."
"Then you go home and go to bed early." Lu Boyan said, "That's it."
Without waiting for Su Jianan to say anything, Lu Boyan hung up the phone.
Su Jianan looked at the phone blankly and finally confirmed that something was wrong with Lu Boyan.
Did he encounter something at work?
I'll ask him until tomorrow.
"Young Madam." Uncle Qian came down and opened the car door for Su Jianan, "Get in the car, I'll take you back."
The dark black car was racing on the road. It was getting late at this time. There were few pedestrians on the bustling streets. The bright lights were set off as unnecessary and empty. Su Jianan felt even more lonely.
Uncle Qian saw Su Jianan's unusual silence and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to pick you up from get off work. I thought you had been contracted by the young master after get off work."
Su Jianan reluctantly raised his lips: "He has something to do today and won't go home."
"Actually, before you got married, he often didn't even bother to go to the apartment. He worked overtime until the early morning and slept in the lounge directly, and got up the next day to continue working." Uncle Qian said, "But after you got married, he went home frequently and could not sleep in the lounge even if he worked overtime. This time, he probably was really busy, so he stayed in the company for the night again."
"That's it." Su Jianan supported her chin. Maybe she was thinking too much. Lu Boyan should be very tired when she was busy. She even called to bother her... Alas, she won't do this again next time.
Uncle Qian's words made Su Jianan feel at ease for the time being. After she got home, she took a shower and went to bed early.
At this time, Uncle Qian, who was in the living room downstairs, called Lu Boyan: "The young lady is asleep."
Lu Boyan said "Hmm": "Is there anything abnormal about her?"
"I just didn't look very happy when I got in the car." Uncle Qian smiled, "I guess she is not used to me picking her up from get off work. Later, I told her that you used to spending nights in the company, and she looked like usual. If nothing happened, I'll go and rest first."
Lu Boyan hung up the phone and suddenly couldn't read the documents in front of him. He got up to make coffee. When he was about to put ice cubes, his hand shrank back.
Su Jianan said that he had a bad stomach and was not allowed to drink iced food. He ordered him to go to his secretary. After that, he never drank iced coffee again. The soup she usually stewed during dinner, and the chef would tell him that the soup her wife stewed today is a stomach-nourishing food.
Although Su Jianan had never said it, he could vaguely feel that she cared about him. Since he was hospitalized for a sudden stomach disease and she was scared to tears, he felt it.
But this kind of concern should not be different from her concern for Su Yicheng.
After drinking coffee, he finished his work at around 2 a.m. He went to bed at rest as usual, but suddenly he was a little uncomfortable.
After getting married to Su Jianan, the villa in the suburbs seemed to have become a complete home, and "going home to sleep" became a natural thing like three meals a day.
Because there is Su Jianan at home, his wife is where he rests after work. When he wakes up, he can see Su Jianan's smiling face.
But before he married Su Jianan, in order to save time, he often settled in the lounge and didn't think there was anything wrong.
So, all his habits will collapse when Su Jianan meets them.
Finally he fell asleep, but woke up very early the next day. He looked at the time and it was only around six o'clock.
If you go home, you should be able to have breakfast with Su Jianan.
Reason told him that since he had started doing this, he shouldn't go back, but he still picked up the car key and left the office.
When meeting Su Jianan, it is not only a habit, but his reason will also collapse.
villa.
After the alarm clock rang twice, Su Jianan finally got up from the bed with his messy hair. After washing up, he excitedly left the room, but suddenly remembered that Lu Boyan had not returned home today.
She was the only one who had breakfast.
She sighed, lowered her head listlessly and slowly went downstairs, but suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.
When he looked up, Lu Boyan was standing under the stairs and looking at her.
"You're back!" She suddenly ran downstairs like a small balloon full of breath, and stopped in front of Lu Boyan in surprise, "Didn't you say you won't come back?"
"I said I won't come back yesterday."
In fact, Lu Boyan didn't know why he would come back, just to have breakfast with her. Just like when she was busy until her stomach disease relapsed, she came back early in the morning just to look at her.
He was even more dissatisfied with his actions and made an excuse to leave: "I'll go up and change my clothes."
"But have you changed your clothes?" Su Jianan looked at him in confusion, "Isn't you wearing this outfit yesterday?"
Lu Boyan frowned: "I don't like this."
After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back. Su Jianan curled his lips: "Choose."
But when he came back, she was still very happy.
The kitchen had already prepared breakfast. When Lu Boyan came back, Aunt Liu added another serving and arranged a knife and fork. Lu Boyan happened to get downstairs.
Su Jianan thought he would change into a beautiful suit, but... he was clearly wearing the same outfit he had worn back.
Perhaps because he noticed her puzzled gaze, Lu Boyan looked over when he sat down and said calmly: "I suddenly realized that this is not bad when I go back to the room."
"Frequent." Su Jianan poked the sun egg, and the bread was covered with egg yolk, "It was sunny and sunny."
Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes: "Who are you talking about?"
Su Jianan coughed and smiled: "I said eggs."
After breakfast, Lu Boyan suddenly arranged for Uncle Qian to send Su Jian'an and Shen Yuechuan to pick him up.
Su Jianan couldn't react a little: "Lu Boyan, aren't you... going to the company?" In that case, they were on the way, so why ask Shen Yuechuan to pick him up?
Shen Yuechuan knew what Lu Boyan was thinking, so he quickly found an excuse for Lu Boyan: "Yes, we are not going to the company. We are going to another place, which is just the opposite direction to the police station."
Su Jianan said "Oh" and saw Lu Boyan's expression coldness. When he walked to him, he obviously looked like he had something to say. Chen Yuechuan automatically avoided the car.
"I want to explain what happened yesterday to you." Su Jianan mustered up the courage to say.
"What's up?"
"When I called you tonight, are you busy?" Su Jianan couldn't help but blush when he explained to someone for the first time. "Actually, I was either going to pester you to go home, I wasn't used to Uncle Qian coming to pick me up for a while. If you work overtime in the future, I won't disturb your work."
"Very good." Lu Boyan said.
"What?" Su Jianan raised her head in surprise and looked at Lu Boyan, "What do you... mean?"
"You mean more conscious than I imagined." Lu Boyan looked at her with an almost unfamiliar look, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave."
Until Chen Yuechuan drove the car away, Su Jianan had not reacted.
In the past, if she got off work early, she liked to go to Lu Boyan's office. Did she always disturb him?
Then he had a really good temper. He could rub her hair and let her go to the secretary to play. At that time, she thought he was happy.
