It was in the president's office of Lu Enterprises in City A.
The time in the lower right corner of the computer read 23:07. Lu Boyan had finally finished today's work.
In order to save time before he married Su Jianan, he usually chose to stay at the company or go to a nearby apartment for one night.
Now, Su Jianan was gone and everything had returned to when it was before their marriage, but he wanted to go back to that home.
The room where he personally chose furniture and home textiles still had her breath. But he knew that it would not last long either, just like the fact that Su Jianan would leave him, these breaths would eventually dissipate one day.
Now, while he could still smell it, he wanted to go back.
Uncle Qian was driving quietly and wanted to say something for a few times, but he managed to swallow them back.
Lu Boyan did this for the sake of Su Jianan, and Uncle Qian kn
Three days later. With the joint effort of two squads, they made a breakthrough in the case involving the small town. Still, the past few days had been gruelling, and Su Jianan and the rest were all exhausted. Also exhausted to the point of paralysis was Shen Yuechuan. Lu Boyan had been a complete workaholic for the past few days. Every morning, he would arrive early at the company and get straight to work. If he had no business-related social gatherings to attend, he would have his lunches and dinners in his office. Every day, he would be at work for 16 hours straight. As Lu Boyan's special assistant, Shen Yuechuan was also dragged into this madness. Lu Boyan's other secretaries and assistants suffered the same fate as well. Nonetheless, everyone could tell that Lu Boyan was in a foul mood, so they did not dare speak up. The only thing they could do was ask Shen Yuechuan about it in private. Shen Yuechuan shook h
"Oh, what a coincidence. I happen to feel nothing for you too. Brother Boyan, why don't we shake hands?" That was what Su Jianan had told Lu Boyan right to his face the night of their reunion after fourteen years. Back then, she had thrown out those words callously and without a single hint of misgiving. As she blinked at him with her sharp and astute eyes, Lu Boyan had felt a pause in his heart, as though his heart had gone into a momentary hibernation. But relief came shortly after. It was a good thing that Su Jianan felt nothing for him. That way, she would be able to turn and walk away from him when it was time for them to part. He would not have any reason at all to keep her either. But it all turned out to be one big, fat lie. She had always complained about him being a big liar who lied to her all the time. But look at her? Was she not a liar too? Lu Boyan called Shen Yuechuan's phone. "Ask Wa
Raindrops pelted forcefully against the car window as the rain became heavier. Through the mist and fog, Lu Boyan discerned a big patch of fallen trees not far away. Rainwater amassed into a deluge and gushed downhill as if attempting to wash away the entire mountain. Su Jianan was all alone in a barren mountain and in such a weather. Just how frightened was she right now? "Kaboom-" The rumbling of thunder sounded. A long bolt of lightning slashed across the sky like a blade; a burst of silver light formed aloft and vanished almost as soon as it appeared. He still remembered what Su Jianan's greatest fear was: thunder. "Wang Yang!" growled Lu Boyan whose phone was nearly crushed in his grip. "Drive faster!" "No!" Wang Yang shook his head. "It's too dangerous to drive fast in this type of weather." "Stop the car!" Lu Boyan ordered suddenly. Wang Yang was too confused to rea
The serial killer had been lying low ever since Captain Yan brought Su Jianan and her colleagues to this small town. The results of the previous autopsies had been unsatisfactory with lots of missing information. When Su Jianan arrived much later, the circumstances no longer allowed for further autopsies to be conducted despite Su Jianan's demands. Now that the killer had struck again today, Su Jianan thought it was the best opportunity for her to uncover important evidence. She immersed herself in the autopsy. She could not even remember the fact that she was now all alone in a barren mountain, let alone notice the darkening and overcast sky above her head. When a strong gust of wind blew all her tools away and huge raindrops began to fall, Su Jianan finally glanced above her head. Only then did she see the heavy clouds hanging low in the horizon, ready to fall off the sky onto the ground. "Oh crap!" she thought.
"And we're heading back down just like that?" Wang Yang caught up to Lu Boyan. "We're going to stop looking?" "She won't be up in the mountains." Lu Boyan knew Su Jianan; thunder was the thing she feared the most. If she was done with the crime scene and then noticed the changes in the weather, she would definitely choose to get off the mountains. But based on the estimated timeline of events, there was no way she could have made it down before the typhoon hit. She must have encountered the typhoon halfway downhill. After that, she might have gotten lost. Or perhaps... she had gotten into an accident. What he knew for sure was that they were more likely to find her if they followed the path downhill. "Wang Yang," Lu Boyan ordered, "contact Captain Long and have him gather his men and focus the search on the vicinity of this area." Su Jianan did not seem to him like the type of woman who would easily
After more than an hour's drive, the ambulance stopped in front of the First Hospital of City Z, and Su Jianan was sent to emergency treatment. When Su Yicheng and Shen Yuechuan arrived, they only saw Lu Boyan standing outside the door of the emergency room. He couldn't move, his shoes and pants were all wet, and he looked terrible from head to toe like never before. Shen Yuechuan went over and asked him, "How is Jianan?" "She is injured." Lu Boyan stared at the door of the emergency room. "I can only know how bad it is when the surgery is over." Shen Yuechuan knew Lu Boyan was worrying about her, so he patted Lu Boyan on the shoulder and handed him a bag. "Change the wet clothes first. The surgery won't be finished soon." Lu Boyan still did not move, as if he wanted to end the surgery as soon as possible by his eyes. Finally, Su Yicheng came over, took Shen Yuechuan's bag, and hung it on Lu Boyan's
This time, Lu Boyan thought that Su Jianan would not forget things and forgive him so soon. The sleeping Su Jianan fell into a dream. In her dreams, the entire world had become a mountain forest. She had fallen into a foggy forest and could not find a way out. She could only stand on a peak of a high mountain and look at the boundless green plants. Suddenly, lightning flashed, thunder roared, the wind howled, the torrential rain poured down without reservation as if they wanted to wash away the entire world. No one came to see her, and no one could come to save her. She was drenched with heavy rain and felt like she had never been confused and helpless like this before... In her memory, all her sufferings began after her mother died. When her mother left, she realized that the world was full of sinister people, knowing that people were good or bad, knowing that human nature was beautiful, but at the
In the large single room, only Su Jianan stayed. She bit her finger and sat on the bed, feeling unsure like never before. Thinking about what Su Yicheng said, she got the feeling that Lu Boyan still cared about her. In this case, why did he do that before? First, she ignored her, and then quarreled with her for no reason whatsoever. He agreed to divorce and told her to go right away... He looked like he couldn't wait for her to go as far as possible. She once suspected that she had done something wrong, or upset him in the past, so she swallowed her pride to ask him, but he gave a bitter reply. Since he didn't want to see her again, why did he bother to come to her? "Mr. Lu stayed beside your bed until it was past three o'clock in the morning. He has been soaking a towel to help you cool down the entire time, and then he wiped the sweat on your forehead and fed you with water. It was the first time I
Xu Yuning looked at the two children, pondered for a moment, and suddenly made a decision-- "I'm going to make sure my kids fall in love early in the future!" Mu Sijiu looked at Xu Yuning doubtfully, "Are you sure?" "Sure!" Xu Yuning's tone was certain, the bottom of his eyes full of longing, "A childhood sweetheart, two children don't you think this kind of relationship is beautiful? If the two children end up together, it will be a lifetime of good stories. If they don't get together, they also have a wonderful memory!" Mus mused for a moment, not knowing what came to mind, and "hmmm" in agreement. "Huh?" Xu Yuning looked at Mu Sijue in surprise, "Do you agree?" She had always thought that Mousseguy would protect his children well against early love. But he's actually okay with it? There is a demon in the matter! "I agree." Mu Sijiu said breezily, "I've eve
Musashi seemed a bit curious and raised an eyebrow, "Tell me about it." Xu Yuning pointed with his chin to the two little ones who were chasing each other not far away, "Do you know what their relationship is?" Mu Sijun looked like he wasn't interested in what was going on between the two brats and asked lightly, "What relationship?" "......" Xu Yuning scrutinized Mu Sijue for a while he probably really wasn't interested. It didn't matter, she had the confidence to tickle his fancy! Xu Yuning slowly said ''Their parents are good friends, they grew up together, but also have always been in the same class, it is not too much to say that they are childhood sweethearts, right? "After the little girl got sick, she took a temporary break from school and was sent to the hospital by her family. When the little boy found out, he tried to injure himself every day and had to come to this hospital
Xu Yuning couldn't imagine if she left this world as suddenly as Lily did ...... The world certainly isn't changing. But Mousse's world, it would be completely turned upside down. Speaking of which, she wasn't really afraid of death, what she was more afraid of, was causing pain to Mu Sijun. She'd carved enough scars into Mousse over the past two years. For the rest of her life, all she wanted to do was to bring joy to Musashi. So she was afraid that Little Lily's tragedy would happen to her, and subconsciously avoided this place until today-- I don't know which small child recognized Xu Yuning first, excitedly shouting at Xu Yuning, "Auntie Yuning!" Xu Yuning's thoughts were drawn back, his gaze following the child's voice to the children's playground- That not-so-small corner was filled with young and lively kids, some new faces and some familiar ones.
As it turned out, everything was just Xu Yuning thinking too much. "You sent me a message?" Mu Sijiu was completely outside of his state and looked at his phone before realizing that he had actually received a message from Xu Yuning. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Yuning, "I was about to return to the hospital when you sent me the message." Xu Yuning shrugged, "...... Okay." Mu Sijun walked to Xu Yuning's front, pressed Xu Yuning to sit down and looked at her, "There's nothing you want to ask me?" "Sure there are! But there's a bit many, so you let me think about which one I'm going to ask first." Xu Yuning didn't look like he was joking, and after saying that, he really leisurely plopped down his legs and began to meditate. She didn't know what had happened in the past few days, and the only thing she could be sure of was that Mu Sijun must have known long ago that
"Kang Ruicheng, don't put gold on your face." As soon as Xu Yuning's words fell, not only Kang Ruicheng's men, but Mu Sijun's group of men also froze. There were only a handful of people who dared to talk to Kang Ruicheng like this. However, there was one thing that Kang Ruicheng had said correctly Xu Yuning was indeed someone he had trained. Surprisingly, Kang Ruicheng didn't have any overreaction, just looked at Xu Yuning with an unknown gaze, and only after a long time did he open his mouth if he had a point "Ah Ning, you've changed." If it was before, give Xu Yuning ten more guts, she wouldn't dare to talk to him like this. Now, who gave her such a hard-on? Mousseur? "One thing has not changed." Xu Yuning looked at Kang Ruicheng coldly, her voice as cold as if it was frozen, and said word by word, "Kang Ruicheng, I still hate you as much as I did before I can't wait to
Sujanan only felt her heart skip a beat-She and Mu Sijun tacitly hid the fact that Kang Ruicheng had been released from prison from Xu Yuning.However, in case Yun Yun accidentally reveals it, Mu Si Jue's piece of hard work will go down the drain.Su Jianan looked at Xiao Yun Yun almost prayerfully-She only hoped that Rue had the same understanding as they did.Xiao Yun Yun could see Su Jianan's nervousness in a second, and smiled at Su Jianan's quirky smile, "Cousin, don't worry, I'm not that stupid!""Well ...... then what?"Su Jianan looked at Xiao Yun Yun with unblinking eyes, waiting for her next words.Xiao Yun Yun continued, "After I came to the hospital, I found that Yuning didn't seem to know about Kang Ruicheng's release from prison at all, and I more or less guessed that it was you and Boss Mu who hid it from her. I thought to myself, it's good that Yuning doesn't know, to save her worry. In that case, of course I wouldn't
Su Jianan had always been very self-aware.She knew that in terms of being a hooligan, she would never be Lu Bo Yan's match.However, although she couldn't afford to mess with Lu Bo Yan, she could afford to hide!"That, you keep an eye on Xiyou." Su Jianan pointed to the house, "I'll go prepare dinner first."As soon as the words fell, Su Jianan disappeared in a gust of wind, and Lu Bo Yan didn't have time to say anything.Xiyou was playing with the Akita dog and saw Su Jianan leaving in a hurry, blinking at Lu Boyan in confusion, "Daddy?"Lu Bo Yan walked over, sat down in front of Little Xiyou, and touched the little one's head, "Good boy, mom left you to me.""Hmm?"Little Xiyou seemed to be struggling to understand Lu Bo Yan's words, her big, dark eyes looking blankly at Lu Bo Yan with a confused expression.Lu Bo Yan's heart instantly warmed up, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tender love.He rubbed the li
Su Jianan prepared all the materials and Xiao Xi met woke up. After he learned to walk, Xiyou didn't like to be held, and it was Aunt Liu who led him into the kitchen. The little one's voice with its strong milky scent was still remnants of sleep, and he called out in a daze, "Mommy." Su Jianan took off her apron, washed her hands and walked over, hugged the little guy and looked at him with a smile, "You woke up?" "Uh-huh!" Xiao Xi met is not resistant to Su Jianan hug him, buried his face into Su Jianan's arms, the appearance of how good to be good. Seeing this, Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Ma'am, leave the preparation of the ingredients to me, and you bring Xiyou." "No, I'm all set. But there are a few things that need to be put in the refrigerator first, just put them in." Su Jianan said, "I'll take Xiyou out first." Aunt Liu nodded happily, "Good." Su Jian
Little Xiangyi wasn't walking very steadily yet, wobbling along the way like a delicate and pretty tilting doll.Su Jianan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw half of it.Little Xiangyi felt herself getting closer and closer to her mom, and also smiled very brightly. However, when she was about to hug Su Jianan, Su Jianan suddenly took a big step back-Mom, who had been close by, instantly pulled a large distance from her.Little Xiangyi had an expression of not knowing what was happening, blinking quietly in confusion, frozen in place and not moving, just looking at Su Jianan.Su Jianan did it on purpose.This is the only way for Sagiri to learn to walk faster.Su Jianan continued to coax the little one, "Xiangyi, come, walk over to mommy."Of course, Xiao Xiangyi didn't know that this was Su Jianan's "scheme", tilted her head for a moment, and innocently took a step towards Su Jianan.However, there seemed to be no en
