Compared with the joyful flirting between Qin Wei and Luo Xiaoxi, Lu Boyan and Su Jianan appeared quiet. They kept silent all the way home.
Uncle Xu was surprised and pleased to see Lu Boyan and Su Jianan returning together. But when he took a careful look at them, their expressions seemed out of sorts. He seemed to have understood something and signaled for the other servants to leave. Then, he walked to the garden silently.
Only Lu Boyan and Su Jianan were left in the large living room.
"Su Jianan," Lu Boyan said, with a flicker of displeasure on his frosty face, "Why were you in that sort of place?"
What right did he have to question her like this?
They were married in name only, and Lu Boyan had said this himself!
Su Jianan retorted with full confidence, "Weren't you in that sort place just now as well?"
"I went there for business. And, Mrs. Lu, I didn't talk to the opposite sex as cheerfully as you did."
Lu Boyan wanted to shut the bar immediately at the thought of how long Su Jianan and Zhao Ran had been sitting together,
Su Jianan sensed that Lu Boyan was really mad at her, so she looked down at her toes and responded, "I did not talk to him cheerfully. If you want to hear about how I do autopsies on crime scenes, I can tell you about it. Furthermore, you met Han Ruoxi in the hotel secretly yesterday. Did I say anything about it?"
Lu Boyan's eyes narrowed and said, "You saw it."
Composed, he continued with a smirk, "What did you hear?"
"You promised Han Ruoxi that you would divorce me in two years. I heard it all!"
Su Jianan thought smugly, "Hey, boy, I finally have something on you. See how you teach me a lesson!"
Lu Boyan said irritatedly, "Who told you that it was a promise?"
"My eyes and ears told me." Su Jianan replied, "but I will ignore your love affairs with Han Ruoxi, so don't interfere in my life."
A meaningful smile lifted the corners of his mouth. He drew closer to Su Jianan.
"Are you jealous of her?"
Su Jianan subconsciously wanted to deny it, but it seemed pointless to just deny it.
She gave him a radiant smile and said, "According to your logic, are you jealous, too?"
Lu Boyan did not expect his newlywed wife to be so quick-witted. He curled his lips and responded, "Mrs. Lu, you'd better know your limits."
It meant that Su Jianan had overestimated herself.
Su Jianan blinked and said, "Mr. Lu, you are not jealous?" Then she got angry and barked at him, "Then you don't let me chat with others while you have a secret meeting with your rumored girlfriend! You have double standards. It's unfair! I will definitely not accept things that are unfair! If you want me to keep my distance from other people, we can discuss that after you break up with Han Ruoxi!"
She made a face at Lu Boyan before running upstairs.
Su Jianan spent the first day of her married life feeling indignant.
The next day.
Su Jianan only went downstairs at 8:20. Uncle Xu greeted her, "Young Madam, young master and you have to go to visit your family at nine o'clock. Everything is ready, you can leave after breakfast."
Su Jianan responded in a confused tone, "Go to visit my family?"
"The couple has to visit the bride's family on the third day of their marriage." Uncle Xu explained patiently, "This is our custom. Old Madam called me and asked me to arrange everything for you this morning."
