"Still not too late to do something?"
"What does he have in mind?"
Before Su Jianan could even wrap her head around his words, she noticed Lu Boyan's features enlarging as he closed the distance between them.
For a second, she panicked and clutched at Lu Boyan's shirt. Her eyes fluttered close.
However, the warmth of his lips that she had been expecting did not come. Instead, she heard a soft chuckle beside her ear.
Her eyes shot open and immediately, she was met with the teasing glint in Lu Boyan's eyes.
This was the first time she had seen Lu Boyan smiling so openly, and yet it was because he had utterly toyed with her!
"B*stard!"
When she realized that she had actually been anticipating Lu Boyan's kiss, Su Jianan blushed. The redness on her face right then trumped that of a poppy. She struggled to free herself from Lu Boyan's embrace, though Lu Buoyan refused to let her go.
"Don't move around so much." Lu Boyan buried one side of his face against her shoulder. His voice sounded exhausted. "I've been feeling tired for the whole day."
Instantly, Shen Yuechuan's words came to Su Jianan's mind. "It's rare to see him going through documents with such a stressful look on his face..."
He was probably putting in a lot of effort to save the contract that he had abandoned.
It was because of her that he would abandon the contract signing and come back from New York. Fine. She could give him a shoulder to lean on. But... did he really feel comfortable in this posture?
As she fretted, the car stopped in front of the hotel.
By the time the bellboy rushed over to open the car door for them, Lu Boyan had switched back to his usual elegant and dignified self. He got down from the car and led Su Jianan back to the hotel by hand. Nobody could have imagined the way he had shamelessly nuzzled up to her just now.
Just before going to bed, Lu Boyan told Su Jianan, "Tomorrow, tell Xu Youning that she can go straight to the restaurant's manager."
"Eh? Your friend has decided to hire Youning?" Su Jianan asked. She had not heard the conversation between Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue just now.
"Mm." Lu Boyan gazed at her, his lips curling up slightly. "Shouldn't you be thanking me?"
"The one who should be thanking you... is Youning, right?"
"Why should I be thanking him anyways? It's not like he's found me a job," Su Jianan grumbled inwardly.
"It's because of you that I even bothered with trivial matters like this," Lu Boyan said. "You wish for Xu Youning to work at the hotpot restaurant and I made it happen. Shouldn't you be thanking me too?"
All of a sudden, Su Jianan felt that Lu Boyan's words were quite reasonable after all. She nodded. "Fine. Thank you."
Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes in displeasure. "Insincere."
"..." Su Jianan was rendered speechless for a moment. "Really? He'd really act all fussy over something like this?" she thought.
Back in the car, he had acted like he was trying to kiss her but it turned out that he was just toying with her. "Now, that's what I'd call insincere," she thought.
Then again, she had no idea what came over her, but all of a sudden, she decided she would give Lu Boyan a full taste of her 'sincerity'. She stood on tiptoes and kissed Lu Boyan on the lips.
