Lu Boyan held her hand that was not swollen and stroked the needle holes on the back of her hand. He felt like the needles came into his heart.

He could almost imagine what Su Jianan had been through during this time.

The continuous vomiting made her lose weight quickly, and the cold needles pierced her blood vessels again and again. She could only lie on the hospital bed and couldn’t even speak.

He didn’t know how Su Jianan got through it.

But he knew that he couldn’t let her go on like this.

Lu Boyan turned on the bedside lamp and planned to talk to Su Jianan seriously. “Jianan, calm down and listen to me…”

“I am pregnant with twins,” Su Jianan interrupted Lu Boyan and looked at him without blinking.

Lu Boyan’s pupils seemed to have shrunk. “What?”

Su Jianan pulled Lu Boyan’s hand and put it on her lower abdomen. “I said, I am pregnant with twins. It may be two boys or two girls, or maybe a boy or a girl.”

Lu Boyan seemed to be really shocked. His hand trembled and his eyes were no longer determined to be chilly as Su Jianan continued to ask, “Are you really willing?”

“…”

Lu Boyan was certainly unwilling, not because Su Jianan was pregnant with twins, but because the child was the crystallization of him and Su Jianan, so he was reluctant from the beginning.

If he couldn’t bear to lose the children, he had to be willing to let Su Jianan suffer and take the risk.

During this time, Su Jianan had already suffered too much, so he could only choose to abandon the children.

Lu Boyan took Su Jianan into his arms and buried her face in his chest. He did not speak for a long time.

Su Jianan finally understood that Lu Boyan was not cruel, he was just considering her.

She grabbed a lifeline and hugged Lu Boyan. “Let me try again. I have been holding on for so long. I also didn’t vomit for a few days in the middle. Maybe things will get better if I continue to do it for a while.”

“…”

“Boyan, go talk to Mother and my brother, let me try again, okay?” By the end, Su Jianan was already crying and begging.

Lu Boyan let go of her. “In another month, if the situation does not improve, you have to listen to us.”

Su Jianan nodded and took it as a stalling tactic. If the situation did not improve after one month, then she would make other plans.

Lu Boyan poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her. “Drink slowly.”

Su Jianan took a shallow sip and let the water slide slowly down her throat. Only then would it not cause nausea.

In the end, she grabbed Lu Boyan’s sleeves and seemed to be reluctant to say something. “I have something to tell you.”

Lu Boyan took a moment to look at her look, and he understood. “Do you want to say something about you and Jiang Shaokai? I know.”

Su Jianan pursed her lips. “There is one thing you definitely don’t know…”

Lu Boyan squinted. “Tell me.”

Su Jianan coughed. “I promised something to Jiang Shaokai on behalf of you. Can you help the Jiang Group find a professional manager? This is the only condition of Jiang Shaokai to promise to help me before.”

Lu Boyan put on a vague laugh and she couldn’t tell if he was happy or angry. “What Jiang Shaokai did was not helping me.”

This… Su Jianan did not expect it when she promised Jiang Shaokai.

She had to use the “I don’t care” trick, and said with a tough tone, “But he did help me! Do you promise to agree or not?”

“…” Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

Su Jianan turned her head. “Whatever, we are divorced anyway, you are not obligated to help me keep my promise. I can also ask my brother for help!” Looking for a good manager or something was not a difficult thing for Su Yicheng.

Su Jianan did not realize that she was completely acting rashly.

Lu Boyan squinted, and straightened her face with his five fingers. “Who told you that we are divorced?”

Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan with a strange look, thinking that he only scared her, and smiled. “The media told me!”

Lu Boyan laughed incomprehensibly. “I will tell you what the divorce procedure is: split the property, sign, and finally, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate.”

Su Jianan opened her mouth and the smile suddenly froze on her face.

They split the property and signed the divorce agreement, but… seemed to have skipped the last step?

To her knowledge, a divorce seemed to be completed by just signing, that’s what was shown on TV.

But now thinking about it, if Lu Boyan did not hand over the divorce agreement to the lawyer to go through the legal process, in the legal sense, they were indeed still husband and wife.

Everyone in the world thought that they had broken up and had a new love, but in fact… they were still husband and wife.

Appreciating Su Jianan’s shocked expression, Lu Boyan told her slowly, “So, you are still Mrs. Lu.”

She didn’t know how long it took after Su Jianan found her voice. “No wonder you signed it so easily. It turns out that this was your plan.”

Su Jianan suddenly felt that her back was chilly.

Fortunately, she never thought about scheming against Lu Boyan, otherwise she would have been exploited in minutes!

Speaking of it, Lu Boyan’s original idea was actually very simple.

At that time, Su Jianan was very determined so he only had to sign the agreement first so that the outside world would think that they had divorced. If Su Jianan did not realize that they still needed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, perhaps the things she concealed would gradually come out.

Even if Su Jianan was still unwilling to tell the truth, they were still married, so he could tie her up at home at any time.

Su Jianan tentatively asked, “What if I had a wedding ceremony with Jiang Shaokai in order to deceive you…”

“Don’t think about it!” Lu Boyan’s words and sentences were all stern. “As long as you released the news of the marriage, I would sue Jiang Shaokai in court.”

Su Jianan was speechless for a moment, then she asked, “…Did Kang Ruicheng and Han Ruoxi know?”

“They are just like you, thinking that we are divorced.” In Lu Boyan’s tone, there was a contempt that could not be concealed.

Su Jianan thought quietly, “So the person who really controls this game is still Lu Boyan.”

She always thought that she had fooled Lu Boyan, but in the end, Lu Boyan was the one who deceived her.

Because of the divorce, she also cried!

However, she asked for it herself. After all, the divorce was her proposal, but now why did Lu Boyan despise her!?

After the pregnancy, Su Jianan was already irritable. At this moment, she felt angry and pulled the hand of Lu Boyan and bit it.

Lu Boyan did not expect Su Jianan to use so much strength and he slightly frowned. When he was about to withdraw his hand, he suddenly felt a drop of warm liquid on the back of his hand, which slowly spread like ink…

He felt like he was burned in his heart. “Jianan?”

Su Jianan wiped her tears and raised her head if nothing happened. “What happened to you and Han Ruoxi!”

Lu Boyan did not answer and asked, “Why didn’t you ask before?”

“I just thought that we were just ex-husband and wife. How could I get to ask you something like that?!”

While speaking, Su Jianan’s tears were not controlled. Not because of sadness, but because of anger.

Lu Boyan was distressed and helpless to wipe the tears on her cheeks with his hands. “I have nothing to do with Han Ruoxi.”

“Why did she attend Lu Enterprises’ annual meeting? Why did she go back to the apartment with you after the annual meeting?!!” This problem had been pressing Su Jianan’s heart for a long time. At this moment, she couldn’t help wanting to pour it all out.

“She was not invited to the annual meeting,” Lu Boyan explained one by one, “and, I did not take her back to the apartment. To be precise, she followed me back to the apartment.”

Su Jianan asked, “Why did she follow you back to the apartment? And why didn’t she come out later?!”

Whenever she saw the news, she imagined Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi hugging and kissing. She felt that her heart was blocked by a big stone.

There was a chance now, so she had to ask about it. But if she asked, she would definitely get an answer.

Lu Boyan had seen that although Su Jianan obviously could not wait, she still pretended to be calm in her eyes, and he spoke slowly. “Yuechuan left along with her, but she left from the basement, so the media only photographed Yuechuan from the entrance.”

“Then why didn’t you clarify it to the media? If I am unreasonable, I can now ask if you are enjoying the blessings from the netizens to you and Han Ruoxi!” Su Jianan’s anger did not half-subside.

Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianan deeply. After a long time, he said, “I was waiting for you to ask me.”

“…”

Su Jianan suddenly remembered the phone call she received that day. Lu Boyan asked her with a drunkenness, “Everyone was talking about me getting together with Han Ruoxi, but why didn’t you come to me, why didn’t you ask me?!”

He didn’t clarify it, not because he really had anything with Han Ruoxi, but because he was waiting for her to take the initiative to find him?

Su Jianan looked down. “In that case, how could I be so unreasonable to ask you?”

She had already said the words to bless Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi, and if she ran to question him after they had the affair, wasn’t it self-humiliating?

Lu Boyan certainly knew that Su Jianan could not ask him. The phone call was made because he was drunk.

He didn’t want to continue this question anymore, so he changed the subject. “Yuechuan told me that before we went to Paris, Kang Ruicheng had already found you. So, the divorce was not decided after you came back?”

“…” Su Jianan nodded, indicating that she affirmed Lu Boyan’s guess.

“What are you still hiding from me?” Lu Boyan’s tone sounded dangerous.

“Emm…” Su Jianan said with guilt, “You and Han Ruoxi were caught by me at her house. It was my idea…” After that, she looked up innocently.

Lu Boyan squinted and really wanted to grab Su Jianan’s neck.

But in the end, all the anger turned into a helpless sigh. “Jianan, should I be glad that you love me?”

If Su Jianan hated him and wanted to scheme against him, even if he beat Kang Ruicheng, he would be defeated by her.

Su Jianan evaded the true meaning and only understood the meaning of Lu Boyan literally. She said with a sneer, “I have seen narcissism, but I have never seen such a natural narcissism… oh…”

While complaining, Lu Boyan suddenly kissed her lips.

Her taste was as sweet as he remembered.

As if he wanted to make up all that he had lost during these days, Lu Boyan’s kiss was so eager and passionate. Su Jianan struggled in his arms and protested for a while, so he finally slowed down and gently twirled on her lips.

The long-lost atmosphere surrounded Su Jianan. She responded to him without reservation and slowly lost her strength. Her whole body went soft in his arms.

“Jianan…” Lu Boyan’s voice was a little lower, revealing a little hoarseness.

Su Jianan realized something and suddenly became sober and pushed him away. “I am going to sleep!”

Lu Boyan looked at her belly and reluctantly repressed his eagerness. “Sleep.”
