She looked utterly delectable when she was blushing. Two faint patches of pink would spread across her pale skin, as if the cherry blossoms of March had bloomed on her cheeks. Whenever he saw her looking like that, he would feel an urge to reach out to touch her. While doing so, he would kiss her plump and full lips.

It took Lu Boyan every fiber of his being to suppress that urge.

"Let's go home," Lu Boyan said.

Blushing, Su Jianan lowered her head and left the balcony in search of Tang Yulan, to whom she bid farewell.

Tang Yulan nodded. "Going home early to rest might be a good idea." She then turned to speak to her son. "Boyan, make sure you put an ice pack on her cheek once you get home. Or else she might not be able to go out tomorrow."

"I got it," Lu Boyan said, picking up Su Jianan's hand naturally. "Mom, we'll be going first."

Su Jianan allowed Lu Boyan to keep holding her hand. Even if she tried to struggle, he would not have let her go anyway. Not to mention that his hand felt warm. Having her hand wrapped up in his like this felt very comforting.

A ding sounded. The elevator doors opened to the ground floor. Lu Boyan held Su Jianan's hand as they walked through the hotel's front entrance. All of a sudden, they found themselves walking into the frenzied flashing of flashbulbs. Hordes of reporters with cameras and microphones rushed towards them in a stampede.

Lu Boyan reacted instinctively by shielding Su Jianan with his body, though it did not change the fact that they were completely surrounded by reporters.

"Mr. Lu, is it true that you've spent three million during the auction to obtain a bracelet for your wife?"

"Oh? Mrs. Lu, is that bracelet the one you're wearing now? Mrs. Lu, can you tell us what you're feeling at this moment?"

Before, when Su Jianan had to handle high profile cases, there had been a lot of reporters at the crime scene too. The only difference was that back then those reporters had not tried to surround Su Jianan. Plus, she had never come face to face with a flashbulb before, so it was inevitable that she would start feeling a little panicky. She clutched Lu Boyan's hand tightly and looked at him helplessly.

Lu Boyan guarded her tightly to prevent the cameras from knocking into her. He bent down and murmured into her ear, "Don't be afraid. The bodyguards will be here soon."

Su Jianan nodded. For some unknown reason, she felt reassured. A reporter thrust a microphone near her lips and bombarded her with a series of questions. Su Jianan had no idea how to answer. She buried her face into Lu Boyan's chest instead.

Lu Boyan was taken aback by her gesture. She was like a lost sheep trying to seek protection from him as if she had found a shepherd in him. Just when he was wrapping his arms around her, the hotel's security arrived.

"Make way! All of you make way!"

The security staff parted the sea of reporters, leaving a clear path for Lu Boyan and Su Jianan. When the driver arrived with the car, they climbed on. The car sped away from the hotel. That was when they knew they had finally shaken off the reporters.

Su Jianan sighed in relief. "Reporter these days sure are difficult..." she said, drawing up the sleeves of the jacket. Then, she stroked the bracelet on her wrist. "Lu Boyan, thank you for bringing it back to me. If it were sold to somebody else, I really don't know if I would ever get it back again."

Even if it were sold to someone else, one word from Su Jianan, and the buyer would have had the bracelet wrapped up nicely before presenting it to Su Jianan. Lu Boyan would personally make sure of it. It did not matter who the buyer was. After all, something like this would be a huge opportunity for anyone to be in Lu Enterprises' favor.
