Calls came in on Lu Boyan's phone incessantly since they had entered the room.
Lightly knitting his brows, he arranged the matters, which all related to Su Jianan, through incoming and outgoing calls.
The two tasks he needed to do now were clear: unveil the truth of the case, and minimize the impact on Su Jianan.
About forty minutes later, Lu Boyan finally set aside his phone. As he looked back, he was met with Su Jianan's calm smile.
But Su Jianan's tightly twisted hands betrayed her uneasy heart. She asked, "Is it complicated?"
"We are searching for the real murderer. Once we find him, our problems will be solved." Lu Boyan rustled Su Jianan's long hair to restore her peace of mind. "Eat first."
Su Jianan nodded and smiled as she fiddled the food inside thermal container with chopsticks. "This is my first time eating the food my brother cooked for me."
The three dishes and one soup we
Su Jianan nibbled her fingernails and clicked on the most-viewed post. The poster seemed to really be her college classmate because they precisely named Xiaoxi's class number and professor and even pointed out the relationship between Luo Xiaoxi and Su Jianan, saying they were really close friends. However, the netizens wanted some jaw-dropping inside stories and strongly requested that they revealed all of Luo Xiaoxi's secrets, or, they would stay single for a million years for being a sensational headline writer. Then, people started to call her a girl full of tricks. They said that she pretended to refuse all of her admirers while secretly putting them on the bench. She had people write all of her letters of application to study abroad and got into Columbia University with the help from one of her backup guys. Moreover, when she went home to work in the police office, it was all because she had su
The next day, in the police office. "Call me if there's anything." Lu Boyan repeatedly reminded Su Jianan. To cooperate with the police's investigation, he had to send Su Jianan to the police office in the early morning. Su Jianan finally knew that Lu Boyan could also repeat himself again and again, so she nodded heavily. "I know." Shen Yuechuan coughed and whispered, "Don't worry. I've arranged everything." In other words, even if Su Jianan was held as a suspect in the police office, no one would be hard on her. Lu Boyan finally felt relieved and left. Once he walked out of the door of the police office, a barrage of reporters swarmed toward him, throwing the same old harsh questions at him. Lu Boyan didn't say a word and his handsome face looked so cold that people dared to approach him at all. However, the reporters were not afraid and kept asking how Lu Boyan would handle this and face it in the
On their way back to the ward, Lu Boyan received a call. After hanging up, he asked Su Jianan, "You know Tan Meng?" Lu Boyan knew Su Jianan's social circle and that only Luo Xiaoxi was close to Su Jianan. He didn't even hear about someone named Tan Meng from Su Jianan. However, Su Jianan readily recalled her. "I know her. What?" Lu Boyan frowned. "You two have some history?" "History?" Su Jianan widened her eyes in disbelief. "How come? She' my classmate when I studied management in College A. We've only met a few times and weren't really friends. How would we have a history?" Lu Boyan's face grew cold. "She posted all the things about you on the Internet." Su Jianan was dumbfounded. "Why did she?" "I've got nothing to do... with her," said she, "it's just that when we're in college, Tan Meng had a crush on Jiang Shaokai and chased after him. The entire school knew about i
She was only away from home for two days, but it felt like a long time to Su Jianan. Entering the living room and seeing those familiar faces one by one, a smile finally registered on her face. Luo Xiaoxi rushed over and hugged Su Jianan. "I was almost scared to death, and Su Yicheng wouldn't let me see you." "You would only have been stopped by the police, so you might as well be with my brother at home." Su Jianan patted Luo Xiaoxi's shoulder. "I'm fine now! And you can see me anytime!" As she finished, she heard a rustle and felt drops of water from above her head. Su Jianan wiped her face and looked at Tang Yulan in doubt, who was sprinkling water on her with leaves. "This will help you get rid of bad luck!" Tang Yulan handed a towel to Su Jianan. "Dry your face. In the future, all the unlucky things will stay away from you!" There was no such custom in City A, so Tang Yulan must ha
Luo Xiaoxi only had limited memories of Mu Sijue. Yet, he had left her a deep impression. Based on physical appearance, Mu Sijue was not bad when compared to Su Yicheng or Lu Boyan. He was dangerously mysterious and projected a natural dignity, as if he came from the darkest place on earth. If it took confidence and courage to approach to Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng, then it required much more to approach Mu Sijue. To simply put it, only the dauntless dared to confront Mu Sijue. The hot pot restaurant was decorated in an antique style. The customers filled up the open seats and the private rooms, and many more were waiting outside the door. Confused, Luo Xiaoxi asked, "Mu Sijue is in the catering business? Such a drastic difference from his temperament." Su Yicheng pulled out the chair for Luo Xiaoxi. "Catering is not Mu Sijue's main business. The Mu Family opened a hot pot restaurant in G
Qin Wei watched Luo Xiaoxi's gracious manor and a smile crawled up at the corner of his eyes. "You are probably the only one who dared to hang up on his call." Luo Xiaoxi turned off her phone and threw it back in her purse. "I like him a lot, but that doesn't change who I am." She passed a look to the bartender, who soon prepared and passed a glass of Long Island Iced Tea to her. Long Island Iced Tea, though pure and harmless in its name, was actually the devil. Having overestimated her alcohol tolerance, Luo Xiaoxi soon felt dizzy after a few glasses, and finally remembered what she had come for. "Qin Wei, let's talk!" Qin Wei shook his head. "What's there to talk about when you are in this state? I'm driving you back first." On the way back, Luo Xiaoxi fell asleep on the passenger seat with her head rested on the passenger's seat. The alcohol had brought a blush onto her white cheeks, just as induc
Many years later, when Luo Xiaoxi remembered this moment, she could still felt that feeling as if she were isolated by the entire world, and she was struggling on a piece of land of wilderness. Outside ICU— Luo Xiaoxi could not enter. She could only watch her parents behind the windows. Her mother's injuries were more severe. A pile of instruments surrounded her mother, revealing only her eyes and cheeks. As for his father, who used to give orders in his company, he seemed to have aged a decade overnight. Now, no matter how she misbehaved, her father was not able to get up to scold her. It was all her fault. If she had not fallen in love with Su Yicheng, she would not have become a model so soon just to prove herself in front of him. If she had not become a model or loved Su Yicheng, she would not have fallen out with her father. If she had not fallen out with her father, loved Su Yiche
Hearing these words at a time like this, Luo Xiaoxi could only feel heartache. Because of the good family environment her parents provided, she had had the utmost freedom. As long as she did not hurt anyone, she could do anything she wanted, and she never felt it wrong to act recklessly. However, now, she found herself wrong for loving Su Yicheng for more than 10 years. Her biggest wish all these years turned out to be her biggest mistake. She knew that she could not get away, so she just let him shackle her. She stayed like a cold sculpture in his arms and said coldly, "Su Yicheng, we're finished." Su Yicheng seemed to have shaken a little. He slowly released Luo Xiaoxi and madness flashed through his eyes. "You can push me, but you don't ever want to leave." Luo Xiaoxi was agitated and lost control at that second. "Su Yicheng! What is this? Didn't you want me away from y
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
