In the spring morning, sunlight shone through the curtains, bringing with it the dampness of dew. The room was covered in a light gold color.

It was the start of a brand new day, but the two women lying on the bed were completely unaware of it.

Until Su Jianan's phone started ringing.

She groped around for a while before finding her phone. She placed it beside her ear and said, "Hello?"

Her voice was slightly hoarse and seemed more gentle than usual. It was also cutely bleary with sleep. The person on the other end of the line subconsciously softened his voice, as if afraid that he would rouse her from her sleepiness and asked, "You're still not up?"

Su Jianan seemed confused as to who it was in her daze. She murmured in agreement and said, "Not yet..."

He kindly reminded, "It's seven-ish. You're going to be late for work if you don't get up."

Su Jianan felt as if she had been splashed with a bucket of ice water. Her eyes flew open and her first reaction was to look at her phone-

"Lu, Lu Boyan..."She sat up forcefully, her voice sounding fully awakened. "You got off the plane already?"

He had long gotten off the plane, but had waited until now to call her having considered the time difference.

"What happened yesterday?" He asked. One could not hear how he felt from his tone.

Su Jianan explained unconfidently, "I didn't mean to go to the bar. Xiaoxi was drinking there and I was afraid that something might happen to her. So I got Uncle Xu to send me there to look for her..."

"Don't go to such a place alone in the future." Lu Boyan said. "If Su Hongyuan's people are there, they might do something to you."

He said the first part of his statement in his usual order-like tone. But the second part...could be understood that he as he was worried about her.

Su Jianan's lips curled up without her knowing. She said, "I know. That...Lu Boyan, could you help me with something?"

It was rare that she would actively ask for help, and Lu Boyan grew interested. "What is it?"

"Luo Xiaoxi would definitely get ill if she continues to drink like this." Su Jianan said. "Could you ban her from the bars throughout the city? You can definitely do that, right?"

He could do more than that.

This was not difficult for Lu Boyan at all!

"Alright." He agreed. "But how are you going to thank me?"

Su Jianan's black eyes turned and she said, "Is there anyone who would ask for a thank you gift?" How shameless!

Lu Boyan smiled and replied, "I'm used to making the conditions clear before doing anything."

He was a true businessman!

Su Jianan thought about it and said, "How will I thank you...let's talk about it when you get back! I'm getting up."

She had just hung up when Luo Xiaoxi sat up cackling. "Su Jianan, you really should go look at yourself in the mirror right now. You are smiling like you're in love."

Su Jianan touched her face. In love?

Really?

Luo Xiaoxi looked around and asked her gloomily, "Jianan, why are we sleeping together? What about your Boss Lu?"

"Haven't I told you long ago? We sleep separately."

Luo Xiaoxi's expression was full of incredulity. "Aren't there even a few sparks between you two after so long? Eh, so does Boss Lu often not come home?"
