A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 84 - You Don't Know How? I'll Teach You (2)

After Jiang Xueli and Su Yuanyuan moved into the Su family home, they would scheme against Su Jianan from time to time. She had fallen prey to their schemes for the first few times. Indeed, there were times when she had broken down due to being unjustly treated. She would curl up in bed, hug her legs and then cry.

When her mother was still alive, Su Jianan had never had to experience the feeling of "being bullied". In fact, back then, she could barely conceive of the notion that there would be people in the world who would want to hurt her.

The revelation came after that, and it was through her tears that it had come. The protective shield that her mother had erected for her was gone. It had gone into hibernation beneath the layers of ocher that her mother was buried in. At that time, Su Yicheng had gone to the United States, so even if he had the heart to protect her, there was only so much he could do from a place that far away. The only one she could rely on was herself.

Gradually, her sense of self-preservation as well as her ability to recognize threats grew stronger. She had developed a heightened sense of awareness. She was like a porcupine whose quills would erect at the slightest perception of danger. Since then, she would always find ways to return the favor whenever Su Yuanyuan and Jiang Xueli tried to scheme against her. She would have them leaping straight into the graves that they had dug for themselves. That was how she would prevent anyone from hurting her ever again.

This time, however, she was at some unknown hotel, inebriated. Someone had picked her up for no apparent reason at all.

She was utterly defenseless, and yet she had made no attempts to struggle. Because...

It was Lu Boyan. She knew.

What she could be even sure of was the fact that Lu Boyan would never do anything to hurt her.

Perhaps she felt secure right then, or it perhaps the alcohol had somehow given her more courage. She snuggled against Lu Boyan's chest willfully. She even went so far as shifting herself in his arms to find a comfortable spot. Her hands fumbled around as she groped his chest. She felt something solid and rock-hard beneath her palms, which reassured her, making her feel safe.

In Lu Boyan's eyes, Su Jianan was like an enticing kitten whose paws were groping his chest audaciously. If it were not for the fact that they were outdoors, he might have lost all his self-control already.

In the end, he tamped down his carnal urges. He carried her to the car and ordered Uncle Qian to drive them home.

Although Su Jianan's light-headedness had alleviated, once she was in the car, it was as if she had returned to her inebriated state just now. Feeling uncomfortable, she shifted in Lu Boyan's arms, rubbing herself against him as she hummed gently like a kitten.

Lu Boyan hugged her tightly and pushed away a few strands of long hair that had fallen over her cheeks. "What's wrong?"

"... Dizzy."

Lu Boyan asked Uncle Qian to slow down the car. Then he lowered the car's side window to allow the evening air to enter the car. Slowly, Su Jianan regained her comfort. Even her lashes, which resembled the wings of a butterfly, had stopped fluttering. Her breathing was shallow. She seemd to have fallen asleep.

If it were any other day, they would have reached home in about an hour. Today, it took Uncle Qian more than one hour to get them home. When they arrived, Uncle Qian slowed down the car carefully, bringing it to a soundless stop. As he parked the car, Uncle Qian had taken great care to be as quiet as possible. He had kept his breathing light and shallow, not allowing himself to take deep breaths at all to keep the noise minimal.
