A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 45 - I Want to Shine Brightly

Su Jianan curled up on the bed hugging her legs to herself. Her mobile rang beside her without stopping.

The three words "Lu Boyan" used to make her forget to breathe and her heart rate increase when she saw them.

But now, the three words only brought her endless doubt.

She knew that Uncle Xu called Lu Boyan the moment Su Hongyuan came. Was he looking for her because she was worried about her?

Didn't he say that he was tired of pretending to be in love?

Now that he was abroad, he could pretend not to know what was happening at home. He had an excuse to ignore her. Why would he have to look for her?

In the end, Su Jianan still picked up the call.

"What did Su Hongyuan say to you?" Lu Boyan asked.

"Nothing." Su Jianan tried her best to maintain her regular tone and not let Lu Boyan hear that she had been crying. "We talked about our family matters."

Lu Boyan still sensed something from her slightly nasal tones and he asked, "Did he mention your mother?"

Lu Boyan understood Su Jianan too well. Her tears were related to her mother. She would only cry when her mother was brought up.

"..."

Su Jianan closed her eyes but tears still flowed from the corners of her eyes.

She tried hard to hold it back, but she still sobbed out loud.

"Jianan." This was the first time he was calling her name with such familiarity even when no one was around. "It's been nine years."

That opened the floodgates and Su Jianan's tears started to flow freely. "He did it intentionally. He knew that my mother cannot be aggravated, so he let Su Yuanyuan and Jiang Xueli appear before her at that time. He killed my mother intentionally. I..."

The hatred in Su Jianan's chest had never filled her up completely. She hated Su Hongyuan but she hated her incompetence even more.

Not only did she not have the strength to fight Su Hongyuan, but she was also afraid of him kidnapping her. She could only be a burden to Lu Boyan.

"Jianan, listen. You have your brother and me. Su Hongyuan cannot hurt you."

Lu Boyan's voice traveled across the ocean from the other end of the world to her ears. Su Jianan's tears slowly stopped.

No matter what, Lu Boyan had already become the only other person apart from Su Yicheng who could make her feel at ease.

Even if this was just for show, she was willing to trust Lu Boyan deeply. Because...this show could only be filmed for two years.

"Are you done? We've already waited a long time." Shen Yuechuan's voice could be heard vaguely. "We have to end the meeting before Luis arrives."

Su Jianan only recalled then that it was day time where Lu Boyan was. It was working hours and she...had taken up a lot of his time.

"Go and work. I'm fine now."

"Hold on." Lu Boyan seemed to know as if she was going to hang up. "I have something for you when I get back."

Su Jianan paused and asked, "What is it?"

Lu Boyan only smiled secretively and then hung up. Su Jianan was confused and was too lazy to think. So she went to wash her face.

Someone suddenly knocked on her door at almost 11. The voice asked carefully, "Jianan? Are you asleep?"

"Luo Xiaoxi?" Su Jianan opened the door and looked in surprise at the person who had just a few hours ago, been on television. "Why did you come over so late at night?"
