Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride
chapter-203

Su Jianan just felt that the air around her was getting thinner and thinner.

She was about to be out of breath, but involuntarily tightened her grip on Lu Boyan’s waist.

If she was suffocating and dying, then Lu Boyan was her only driftwood.

She suddenly remembered her previous conversation with Lu Boyan.

“Quickly, what else do you like?” She asked, and Lu Boyan answered blandly, “You.”

“Well, if I can’t think of what to send to Lu Boyan to win Han Ruoxi, I might as well… send myself as a gift and let him do what he wants?”

“Jianan.” Feeling dizzy, she heard Tang Yulan’s voice coming from the stairs. “Where are you?”

“Hmm…”

Su Jianan remembered that when Lu Boyan came in, he didn’t even close the door. She opened her eyes nervously and pushed Lu Boyan. However, he didn’t move and still hugged her. He didn’t worry about Tang Yulan coming over to see them cuddling together.

Su Jianan was anxious like an ant trapped in a hot pot but did not dare to make too much protest, fearing that Tang Yulan would misunderstand.

When she was trying to push harder to break free from Lu Boyan, he suddenly seized the back of her head and made the kiss deeper with force.

“…” Well, he must have been intentional.

“Jianan? Boyan?”

Tang Yulan’s voice was getting closer and closer, but Lu Boyan seemed to be enjoying this kiss more and more. When Su Jianan was so anxious that she could bite him, he loosened her unhurriedly, looking full and satisfied.

Su Jianan glared at him, wiped her mouth, and shouted at the door. “Mom, we are here.”

Tang Yulan quickly walked over. “Of course, you are here.” She looked at Su Jianan smilingly. “Jianan, do you want to play mahjong with us?”

Mahjong was one of Tang Yulan’s favorite entertainments. She was dragging her daughter-in-law down to make herself another mahjong partner.

Su Jianan agreed but added embarrassedly, “Mom, I can’t play mahjong.”

“It doesn’t matter. We can, and Boyan plays mahjong too!” Tang Yulan came in and grabbed Su Jianan’s hand directly. “We can all teach you.”

“Is the national quintessence so easy to learn?”

Su Jianan was dragged away by Tang Yulan and asked Lu Boyan for help with her eyes. However, Lu Boyan just followed, and said in her ear, “I’ll teach you.”

Downstairs, Mrs. Pang and another lady had already started. There were two positions empty. One, of course, was Tang Yulan’s. Seeing Tang Yulan took Su Jianan downstairs, Mrs. Pang immediately waved. “Jianan, come over. I have played mahjong with your mother-in-law for half a lifetime, but I have never played it with you.”

“Don’t worry. I will teach you at first and won’t let you lose too much.” Tang Yulan said with great enthusiasm, and then pinned Su Jianan down to the seat.

Su Jianan was awkward and looked at Lu Boyan uneasily. He was calm and relaxed, walked behind her, and stood there. He was comforting her with his eyes.

It was strange, but when Lu Boyan just stood behind her and Su Jianan couldn’t even see him, her restless heart settled down.

Sure enough, as long as Lu Boyan was around, she could be fearless.

The ladies next to them clearly felt the change in Su Jianan’s mood. Mrs. Pang smiled. “Boyan, I heard that your skills are first-class. Teach her well, and let her learn it in the next few days.”

Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan embarassedly. “I don’t even know what dots and bamboo are…” She knew nothing about mahjong.

“These are not difficult.”

Lu Boyan first told some of the basic mahjong knowledge to Su Jianan, such as the five categories of mahjong, what was calling mahjong, and what was a dealer in the game.

His speech was always concise, but he had carefully listed his points in order. Su Jianan absorbed the new knowledge quickly. Lu Boyan taught her one time, and she already had a basic concept for mahjong. Mrs. Pang saw her nod, looking eagerly. “Jianan, let’s try it for one round?”

Su Jianan nodded. “Yes.”

After the dealer Tang Yulan took four tiles, Su Jianan also reached for four tiles.

It was entirely luck and character that decided what tiles she would get.

It was no wonder that others said that of all card games, mahjong was the least demanding for playing skills because luck was more important in the game than your skills.

Although there were more than 100 tiles in a set of mahjong, its rules were not as complicated as Su Jianan had imagined. Therefore, during the first round, Lu Boyan only occasionally guided Su Jianan, and she could play it with ease.

“Jianan, you learned very fast.” Mrs. Pang smiled and spread the tiles in front of her, “I’m calling mahjong!”

When a newbie first played the table, they would naturally show envy seeing other people calling mahjong. However, Su Jianan was very calm. She first looked at Mrs. Pang’s tiles, then looked at her tiles, and accepted her failure.

Mrs. Pang felt interesting. “Jianan, aren’t you upset?” One must know that only an experienced player would put on a face like Su Jianan’s right now. When Mrs. Pang was first addicted to mahjong, she would yell and scream for a while every time others won, so were Tang Yulan and those other ladies.

Su Jianan smiled and shook her head, showing no signs of worry. “I know why you won.”

Mrs. Pang exclaimed in her heart that a master was born.

After playing for two more rounds, Su Jianan was already very comfortable and ultimately got rid of Lu Boyan’s instructions. During the fifth round, she even won money from Tang Yulan.

Not only Tang Yulan, Mrs. Pang, and others also couldn’t help but look at Su Jianan with their mouths slightly open.

Although Tang Yulan’s card skills were not so excellent, she was one of the best in the mahjong fans club. However, Su Jianan, who first played on the table, actually won money from her?

Mrs. Pang couldn’t help but laugh. “Boyan, what did you teach Jianan?”

They had heard everything Lu Boyan had taught. They were simply some basic rules. She asked this because she found it unbelievable.

Another member of the mahjong club, Mrs. Chen, exclaimed. “Yulan, when Jianan gets skilled in mahjong, your family will only be short of one player.”

Among the outsiders here, only Mrs. Pang knew that Lu Boyan’s father was also a mahjong fan during his lifetime. He and Tang Yulan meet each other through mahjong. If he was still here, how could Lu Family be missing one player?

Mrs. Chen’s words would inevitably cause Tang Yulan’s grief over the late husband.

Unsurprisingly, something in Tang Yulan’s eyes gradually sunk, and she rested her hand on the mahjong table in front of her but did not move at all.

Mrs. Pang touched Mrs. Chen’s feet with her feet below the table and said, “Let Boyan and Jianan have a little Boyan or little Jane. When mom and dad are both masters, the baby must learn fast. When the three generations of people play mahjong on the same table, how fun it will be!”

Mrs. Chen realized she said something wrong and quickly followed Mrs. Pang’s words and praised her excellent idea.

The three ladies eagerly discussed Tang Yulan’s having a grandson, and the smile slowly returned to Tang Yulan’s face. She discarded a tile on the table. “I also think this is a perfect idea.”

This time, Su Jianan’s face was red, and with her hand trembling, she discarded a wrong tile. Then, she was too shy to lift her head.

Tang Yulan couldn’t help but laugh, and Mrs. Pang shifted to target Lu Boyan. “Boyan, you have been married for half a year, how is Jianan still so shy?”

Su Jianan’s face was indeed so hot that she could almost cook an egg on it. Hearing that, she turned her head, and Lu Boyan naturally hugged her and said, “She has been like this since she was a child.”

After that, Su Jianan’s face was redder. She buried her head against Lu Boyan’s abdomen. She did not move and pretended to have heard nothing.

At this time, Su Jian’s last player, Mrs. Chen, discarded a tile. Lu Boyan stroked her head and said softly, “It’s your turn.”

The couple’s actions were so sweet, and Mrs. Pang thought about it and said, “In the opinions of you young people, our three middle-aged women are now like those huge fifth wheels!”

Mrs. Chen also said, “Oh, we should leave after this round.”

Su Jianan collected herself for a while. Biting her lips and looking back at the tiles, she discarded one of them.

After finishing this round, Su Jianan had already figured out some tricks and gradually became interested. Lu Boyan saw that she was having fun, so he left her alone and went upstairs to deal with something.

Su Jianan’s mind was on the game. She just mumbled “OK”. “Get back to work.”

Lu Boyan put something beside her hand, but she did not take notice of it.

After playing for another hour, Su Jianan already had her method. Tang Yulan encouraged her. “Jianan, do you want to be the dealer?”

Playing a dealer at the first time they went on a game table was a big challenge for many people. Thus, Su Jianan itched for a try. “Okay.”

After she answered, she remembered that she was going out with Lu Boyan today and didn’t carry a penny with her. She added embarrassedly, “I didn’t have any money with me…”

“Isn’t money there?” Tang Yulan gestured to Su Jianan to see what was beside her hand.

It was Lu Boyan’s wallet.

Su Jianan let out a “gee” in surprise. Then, she opened the wallet and found some cash inside. Lu Boyan generally did not bring some money with him. Now, he had left all of them to her.

Tang Yulan put the tiles into the mahjong machine, sighed and said, “He almost hasn’t cared for me like that.”

Mrs. Pang and those ladies naturally followed to tease Su Jianan.

Su Jianan’s cheeks had just cooled down. Now, they got hot again. Thus, when she played the dealer for the first time, she lost the game and a few 100-yuan bills.

Mrs. Chen comforted her. “It’s okay, don’t be discouraged. Anyway, Boyan has a lot of these things.”

Su Jianan was calm and gradually learned during the second game. Therefore, she did not lose that much the second time. After a few more rounds, she finally won.

If she was not a genius, Mrs. Pang couldn’t think of any other way to explain why Su Jianan was able to win the first time when she was on the table and played the dealer.

Su Jianan was using her brain just as she usually did in the crime scene.

At about 5 pm, Mrs. Pang and other ladies were going home. Su Jianan counted the money, and her eyes lit up. She ran upstairs to find Lu Boyan.

Lu Boyan just finished the matter. Tang Yulan said that her computer was a bit off. He started the computer to check. Just as he located the problem, Su Jianan rushed in and pushed open the door, holding a few bills in her hand.

He cocked one eyebrow. “They’re all you’ve left?”

Su Jianan pouted and returned the wallet to him. “You didn’t lose any money. These are all I’ve won!”

“Not bad.” Lu Boyan rarely praised Su Jianan. “But it’s your first time playing. You don’t have to care so much about winning or losing.” Anyway, even if Su Jianan lost a lot, it wouldn’t mean a thing to him.

Su Jianan disagreed with Lu Boyan’s view and seriously stated. “Although you have money, I can’t take it for granted and lose all your money.”

Lu Boyan. “…”

At this time, Su Jianan began to wonder why Lu Boyan stayed in the study and asked him, “What are you doing?”

She approached him from behind and saw the computer was on, but the screen was full of code that she could not understand. Lu Boyan was tapping on the keys swiftly, and the code changed consequently. She could only silently sigh in her heart. So cool.

To be precise, her husband was so cool!
