A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 61 - You Lied to Me Again, You B*stard!

Su Jianan was hiding. Lu Boyan could see it now.

She had always been fearful of taking medicines. He had once stayed ad interim in her home, occupying one of the vacant rooms there. During then, there was one time when she, a ten-year-old girl, suddenly came running to him. Nimble and agile like a fish in the ocean, she slipped into the bedroom he was then occupying and hid under his covers. "Brother Boyan, don't tell my mom I'm here."

Her mother had come looking for her shortly after. Only then did Lu Boyan find out that she had been trying to avoid taking her medicine. In fact, he learned that she would willingly engage in a battle of strength and wits with her entire family just for that.

Afterwards, it had been him who had coaxed Su Jianan to swallow down the colorful pills of various sizes. He had promised to take her out to play.

In the end, he did not keep his promise.

After so many years, she was still the same. The mere sight of pills would have her cowering in fear like a small rabbit who had encountered a big, grey wolf.

Lu Boyan pressed down on her shoulder. "You think you can avoid taking your meds just by hiding under the covers?"

Su Jianan tried her best to put on a tiny smile. "Actually, it doesn't hurt as much anymore compared to this morning. Can I... skip the meds?"

"I'll call you 'brother'!"

She added quickly when she noticed Lu Boyan's face, which was expressionless.

This time, Lu Boyan seemed interested. He raised his brows. "Let's hear it."

"Brother Boyan..."

Only her head could be seen peeking out whereas the rest of her was wrapped up in the covers. She looked like an obedient white rabbit whose voice was tender, affectionate, and clearly meant for currying favors. It was even more pleasing to hear than those times she had called him 'brother' sweetly when she was young.

Satisfied, Lu Boyan ruffled her hair. "Good girl. Now, take your meds."

Ka-boom!

Su Jianan felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her head right then and there. She stared at Lu Boyan in a stupor. She could not believe that she had been played. Again.

"You b*stard." She turned her head away angrily. "You lied to me again."

When she was ten, a short while after meeting Lu Boyan for the first time, she was diagnosed with several health problems that compelled her to take all kinds of medicine for an extended period of time. She had exhausted all her tricks to avoid taking her medicines back then, so she went to Lu Boyan, thinking that he would help her.

In the end, he and Tang Yulan had joined forces to persuade her to take her medicine. When she still shook her head and pursed her lips in defiance, Lu Boyan made her a promise. "Take your meds. Tomorrow I'll take you to the theme park."

She had blinked and forced down the pills. But that same night, her mother had told her that Auntie Tang and Brother Boyan had to leave for the United States the next day.

She had refused to speak to Lu Boyan when they were sending him off at the airport. He had taken out several lollipops as if by magic before giving it to her, but she still refused to speak to him.

He had promised to take her to the theme park that same day, but he was leaving. Worse, he was leaving for a place that she could never reach no matter what kind of lies she told her driver.

She thought that only adults would lie to her. She had not expected Lu Boyan to lie to her too.

She remembered that in the end, Lu Boyan sighed helplessly and told her, "From now on, you need to listen to auntie and take your meds."
