Young Master Lu's Lovely New Bride

She was only away from home for two days, but it felt like a long time to Su Jianan.

Entering the living room and seeing those familiar faces one by one, a smile finally registered on her face.

Luo Xiaoxi rushed over and hugged Su Jianan. "I was almost scared to death, and Su Yicheng wouldn't let me see you."

"You would only have been stopped by the police, so you might as well be with my brother at home." Su Jianan patted Luo Xiaoxi's shoulder. "I'm fine now! And you can see me anytime!"

As she finished, she heard a rustle and felt drops of water from above her head.

Su Jianan wiped her face and looked at Tang Yulan in doubt, who was sprinkling water on her with leaves.

"This will help you get rid of bad luck!" Tang Yulan handed a towel to Su Jianan. "Dry your face. In the future, all the unlucky things will stay away from you!"

There was no such custom in City A, so Tang Yulan must have heard it from someone. However, she usually wouldn't believe in such things. This time, she might be really scared, thus she used this kind of folk method, which was only comforting to the people who practiced it.

Su Jianan wiped the water drops on her face smilingly.

Anyway, at this moment, she really believed that back luck would no longer fall on her head.

"All right. As long as you've come back, let's eat." Aunt Liu reminded everyone.

After the meal, Su Jianan wanted Tang Yulan to stay the night here, but Tang Yulan insisted that the chauffeur send her back to Orchid Gardens.

"I'm old. I can't fall asleep in a new place." Tang Yulan rolled down the windows and waved at Lu Boyan and Su Jianan. "I should go back, and you should rest early too."

Su Yicheng and Shen Yuechuan left subsequently as well. The servants cleaned the dining room and went back to their rooms. Only Su Jianan and Lu Boyan stayed in the spacious house.

Su Jianan threw herself onto the soft king-size bed and dragged a pillow to bury half of her face into it. She was now completely relaxed and then felt the mattress beside her slightly sink. She didn't need to guess to know who it was.

She lazily lifted her eyelids and looked at Lu Boyan. "Won't you take a shower? "I've prepared your clothes."

"Do you remember you asked me how I knew that Chen Xuanxuan was involved?" Lu Boyan said, "Kang Ruicheng dropped the lead."

"He—" Su Jianan was a little dazed. "Why did he save me?"

Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianan for a while and said, "Be careful with him in the future. And don't run about by yourself." Once was enough for her to be seen as a murderer.

Su Jianan nodded, threw away the pillow, and got off the bed. "If you're not going to, then I'll go take a shower."

She carried her clothes into the bathroom and casually pushed the door closed. However, she didn't hear a click when the frame and the door met after a long while.

She twisted around in doubt and saw Lu Boyan's hand holding the frame.

"You..." Su Jianan widened her eyes and said only this one word. By then, Lu Boyan had already gotten in. "Together."

"Why?" Su Jianan put both arms in front of her chest for protection.

Lu Boyan dragged her into his arms and she couldn't tell if he was smiling or not. "To save water and time."

However, the fact was taking a shower together did not save time at all...

At the same time, Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng were on their way home.

Lao Luo knew Su Jianan was fine, so he called Luo Xiaoxi a long time ago to ask Luo Xiaoxi to come home early.

Nevertheless, Su Yicheng's car was driving toward his apartment.

Luo Xiaoxi let out a heavy "ahem" and hesitated for a while before saying, "I'll go home after I collect my things at your place."

After that, she secretly glanced at Su Yicheng and felt upset. His face did not change at all and he just blankly nodded.

Had he grown tired of her?

Luo Xiaoxi soon dropped the idea, which only belonged to those bored women.

Well, that was fine. If Su Yicheng wouldn't let her go, she would have to deal with a problem from both sides.

After collecting her things at the apartment, Luo Xiaoxi clutched the car keys and waved at Su Yicheng. "I'm leaving."

Just when she walked out of the room, someone pulled her back by the wrist.

He pressed her against the wall.

Luo Xiaoxi couldn't breathe at the moment and widened her eyes in front of Su Yicheng, whose eyes grew dark. Her lips moved but Su Yicheng chimed in. "Do you really want to leave?"

He stared at her like a crouching lion waiting in the dark.

"My dad wants me home!" Luo Xiaoxi used Lao Luo to threaten him. Only in this way could she sound confident.

"I'll see your parents the day after tomorrow."

Lao Luo had been refusing to meet with Su Yicheng, and things couldn't continue like this. Su Yicheng initially planned to visit the Luo family recently, but no one had expected something big would happen to Su Jianan, so he had to put off his plan.

It was all of a sudden to Luo Xiaoxi, and she didn't react at all when Su Yicheng had kissed her on the lips.

Recently, because of Su Jianan, Su Yicheng hadn't been in the mood. At the moment, he kissed her so hard and so tenderly that her walls broke down inch by inch. She had utterly forgotten Lao Luo's order.

...

The next day when Luo Xiaoxi came home and saw Lao Luo sitting sullenly on the sofa, she knew she was doomed. She dryly smiled and walked over to pour tea into the cup in front of Lao Luo. "Lao Luo, don't worry anymore. Jianan's fine and went home yesterday!"

Lao Luo sneered. "Jianan went home yesterday, then where were you yesterday?"

Luo Xiaoxi looked guilty and became speechless.

"Bang!"

Lao Luo thumped on the tea table and knocked down the entire tea set. A few drops of tea splashed onto Luo Xiaoxi's instep, but she seemed to not feel the pain and just looked at the furious Lao Luo, dazed.

"Am I wrong for having spoiled you?" The veins on Lao Luo's temples stuck out. "Luo Xiaoxi, do you know how degrading you are in Su Yicheng's eyes? You didn't even come back after I called you. You don't listen to me anymore, do you?"

Luo Xiaoxi was trying to tell Lao Luo that Su Yicheng would visit him soon. However, now she was so scared by Lao Luo that she couldn't say a word.

"Go get the marriage certificate with Qin Wei!" Lao Luo ordered in a non–negotiable way. "Or you can get out of this house and I won't be your father. You won't call me dad forever!"

Hearing him, Mrs. Luo hurried downstairs and stopped her husband. "Xiaoxi is wrong, but do you have to be so upset?"

"I don't have such a shameless daughter! Don't defend her!" In the heat of passion, Lao Luo tossed away his wife's hand, and Mrs. Luo awkwardly fell onto the sofa. "Or you can leave with her too!"

In Luo Xiaoxi's memory, this was the harshest words Lao Luo had ever said to her and her mother.

She hurried to pick her mother up from the sofa. "Mom, are you OK?"

"I'm fine." Mrs. Luo waved her hand and kept tugging the hem of Luo Xiaoxi's shirt to signal her. "Go apologize to your dad."

"I didn't do anything wrong!" Luo Xiaoxi stubbornly looked at Lao Luo. "Why am I wrong for being with the one I love? Why am I shameless because of that? Dad's being stubborn! All he talks about is Qin Wei this, Qin Wei that. I won't come back if that's what dad wants!"

Luo Xiaoxi kicked away the scrapes of the teapot on the floor and left the house without so much as a backward glance. Seeing this, the bodyguards came over to stop her, but her look was crueler than ever. "Don't follow me!"

Those tall and robust men became timid due to Luo Xiaoxi just like that, and just watched her leave in her car. When she rushed out from the house, Mrs. Luo couldn't even see the taillights.

Luo Xiaoxi didn't have any appointments in the morning and didn't know where to go. In the end, she drove to the building of Cheng An Group.

She used to come here often. However, since she once leaked Su Yicheng's proposal, she had not come back again.

She still felt nervous about showing up here, so she asked Xiao Chen to fetch her from the underground garage, and take her directly to the president's office.

"Ms. Luo, Boss Su will finish the meeting in 30 minutes. Please drink something while you wait." Xiao Chen put a glass of juice in front of Luo Xiaoxi, closed the door, and left.

Luo Xiaoxi felt bored, so she ran about in the office, but still couldn't figure out what the painting on the wall was about even after thinking for a while. She didn't know how long it had been before she heard Su Yicheng's footsteps. He walked in and looked her up and down. "Didn't you say you were going home? Why are you here?"

Luo Xiaoxi bit her lip and told Su Yicheng about the big fight between her and Lao Luo.

Su Yicheng held her hand, and she hurriedly asked, "Where to?"

"Your home."

"No way!" Luo Xiaoxi stopped Su Yicheng. "I know my dad. If we see him now, we can't even get in the house. We should wait until he calms down."

Moreover, if Su Yicheng had arranged to see Lao Luo tomorrow, he must have had important work to do today. She didn't want to interrupt his plan.

"And don't go tomorrow." Luo Xiaoxi added, "He won't calm down until a few days. This time, he's really mad at me..."

"I'll go home with you and we'll apologize to him together," Su Yicheng said.

"I don't think he'll accept a random verbal apology now." Luo Xiaoxi thought about it. "Well, how about this! I'll be having my last knockout round in a few days. Get me two tickets for them. Lao Luo hasn't seen my performance live yet. If he wants to forgive me, he'll show up there."

Xiao Chen soon sent two tickets. Luo Xiaoxi merrily put them away, and then wrapped her arms around Su Yicheng's neck. "What's your arrangement in the afternoon?"

Su Yicheng pressed her against the wall and stared at her lips with a pair of urgent eyes. "I'll discuss the purchase of Su Enterprise with Boyan. But I can put it off."

When he lowered his head and was about to embrace Luo Xiaoxi's lips, Luo Xiaoxi stopped him.

Luo Xiaoxi asked in doubt, "With Lu Boyan? Why?"

"Jiang Xueli has been giving TV interviews and it has affected Jianan a lot. He suddenly wants Su Enterprise too." Su Yicheng pushed away Luo Xiaoxi's hand. "Any other questions?"

"No." Luo Xiaoxi smiled. "But I've got work to do in the afternoon." Pushing Su Yicheng away, she straightened the neck of her shirt with a serious face. "So, no!"

Su Yicheng frowned. "What work?"

Luo Xiaoxi thought about Su Yicheng's rules about her work, she didn't dare to tell the truth. She tried to avoid his eyes. "Just some photo shoot!" Afraid of more questions from Su Yicheng, she grabbed his hands and leaned toward him. "Do you have any appointments at noon? Can we have lunch together? I want hot pot."

Su Yicheng didn't miss the guilt in Luo Xiaoxi's eyes, but he didn't say it out loud. He asked the secretary to send in two magazines. "Wait for me. I'll take you to a friend's restaurant after finishing the work at hand."

"Which friend?" Luo Xiaoxi didn't remember which friend of Su Yicheng's was in the food business.

"You've met him." Su Yicheng said, "Mu Sijue."
