Chapter 386 - Wife is Goddess of Fortune
Chapter 386 Wife is Goddess of Fortune
During the banquet, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun were quarreling, and Luo Xiaoxi, who was the outsider, kept stirring up the trouble. The Lu Family’s restaurant was bustling.
Su Jianan laughed and fell into Lu Boyan’s arms with amusement. She originally had no energy or appetite, but she not only ate all the things Lu Boyan had served to her, but was also coaxed and drank a big bowl of soup.
After meals, Shen Yuechuan was about to open a deck to play cards. Lu Boyan didn’t mean to join. Shen Yuechuan was very puzzled and asked, “Why not, since you have nothing to do?”
“Who told you that I have nothing to do?” Lu Boyan handed over the warm water to Su Jianan, and naturally said, “I want to accompany my wife.”
Shen Yuechuan: “…” He thought, “Da*n, good for you to have a wife!”
Su Jianan was amused by Shen Yuechuan’s depressed expression; she took over the water and said to Lu Boyan, “You go play, Yunyun will be here with me.”
Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng also called Lu Boyan to join.
In the end, Lu Boyan couldn’t resist their invitation. He squatted down in front of Su Jianan, touched her belly, and talked to the two little fellows at intervals. “Be nice, don’t make your mother uncomfortable.”
Then, Lu Boyan joined the game.
Xiao Yunyun approached Su Jianan and said enviously, “Cousin, I’m going to Taobao and buy the same husband as yours!” Marrying such a man, she was willing to give up her heart, lungs and kidneys!
Su Jianan laughed and said, “I’m afraid you can’t, but you can try to find someone like him.” She then pointed to Shen Yuechuan with her chin. “Like him.”
Xiao Yunyun stuck out her tongue and asked, “Why does everybody say that he’s good? He is obviously a creep!”
“But he still helped you find your mobile phone and brought you home, didn’t he?” Su Jianan said, “Don’t always be prejudiced against him because he tied you up. Shen Yuechuan is very popular with girls in the company.”
“What a playboy! He also likes to defame others! I had a good chat with Qin Yang that day, and he suddenly came to talk to me like we were close and ruined the conversation”, Xiao Yunyun said angrily, “I hate him!”
Su Jianan smiled and said nothing.
She knew very clearly that Yunyun had actually thanked Shen Yuechuan.
Qin Yang was a veteran in love. He must have gotten hold of Xiao Yunyun’s contact Info. for a long time, but because of Shen Yuechuan’s reminder, Xiao Yunyun was extra cautious when dealing with Qin Yang. A few days passed, Xiao Yunyun probably knew very well that Qin Yang was a playboy, and a bad one at that.
She said that she hated Shen Yuechuan. Actually, Xiao Yunyun still believed in him.
Su Jianan stood up and said, “Shall we go and see how they’re doing?”
She walked and stood behind Lu Boyan, seeing Shen Yuechuan and Luo Xiaoxi were giving him money. Su Jianan asked curiously, “You won?”
Lu Boyan kissed Su Jianan’s face. “Enough to buy half a can of milk powder.”
Su Jianan smiled slightly; she circled his neck with her arms from behind, leaning on him, and watched him play.
Lu Boyan was very good at cards, and he played very quickly. Seeing him playing cards was like watching him giving strategic guidance. It was a pleasure for Su Jianan.
Lu Boyan was worried that Su Jianan was tired and asked her, “Should we tell Uncle Xu to get you a stool?”
“No,” Su Jianan said, “I lay down for the entire afternoon, and it’s good to stand for a while.”
Lu Boyan’s eyebrows had a gentle gesture as he looked at Su Jianan with a smile, then turned and played the cards calmly.
For the next three or four turns, Lu Boyan won all of them.
Shen Yuechuan rubbed his hands and said, “Jianan, are you a goddess of fortune? You gave all the good luck to Boyan by standing behind him. It’s not good, you should circle around us. It’s only fair.”
“Back off,” Lu Boyan threw a card at Shen Yuechuan and said, “She’s my wife, why should she walk around you?”
Shen Yuechuan looked around, and he seemed to be the only single man on the table.
Life was really lonely, he couldn’t make it, not even if he wanted to find someone who was like him.
Watching Lu Boyan win a few more rounds, Su Jianan yawned and was about to tell Lu Boyan that she would go back to bed. Just then, Lu Boyan turned his head and asked her, “Sleepy?”
Su Jianan nodded, “You continue, I will…”
Before she finished talking, Lu Boyan had stood up from his seat. “Yunyun, you come play for me.”
“Me?” Xiao Yunyun wasn’t confident at all. “I just know the rules. I don’t have any skills.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Lu Boyan pointed to the money he placed in the small drawer and said, “There’s enough for you to lose all night long.”
After that, he took Su Jianan upstairs.
Su Jianan was really sleepy, and got into the bed right after she had the shower. When she was about to fall asleep, she felt that Lu Boyan was lying carefully beside her.
Pregnant women could usually tell when the babies were three months old. Because there were two little guys in her belly, it could be clearly seen that her belly bulged when she was only in pajamas. Lu Boyan was already careful, but he was even more cautious when her belly looked obvious, as if she were a fragile piece of porcelain and could not stand the slightest collision.
Su Jianan knew that nothing would happen, and she just leaned into Lu Boyan’s arms, feeling how he held her tightly, and finally fell asleep at ease.
Not long after, the game downstairs also ended.
The money Lu Boyan won had been lost by Xiao Yunyun with her lame skills. She estimated that she could have a supper for the night with the money left, so she said, “I would like to invite you for supper on behalf of my brother-in-law, what do you want to eat?”
Su Yicheng was not interested in a midnight snack; he just wanted to go back with Luo Xiaoxi to try the big villa, and said indifferently, “You go. Let Yuechuan take you home.”
After that, Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi left with relief.
Shen Yuechuan was depressed first. He looked at Xiao Yunyun and said, “Why do I feel like I became your full-time driver?”
Xiao Yunyun smiled brightly. “I know you feel honored!”
Shen Yuechuan: “…”
Either way, they both lived in the downtown area. It was convenient for Shen Yuechuan. He pulled the door and welcomed Miss Xiao to get in.
When the car was driving on the highway, Shen Yuechuan suddenly felt dizzy. The car almost lost control and hit the car in the next lane. Fortunately, at the last moment, he regained control of the steering wheel and quickly recovered his calmness.
Xiao Yunyun was astonished by what happened in just a few seconds. “Shen Yuechuan, are you okay? Would you like me to drive?”
“It’s okay,” Shen Yuechuan shook his head and forced himself to stay awake. “Maybe I’ve been too busy recently and a bit tired.”
After speaking, Shen Yuechuan realized that he was complaining.
He felt funny, why did he complain to Xiao Yunyun? So that she could make fun of him?
Shen Yuechuan speeded up and sent Xiao Yunyun downstairs to the apartment, “I won’t accompany you for supper. If you want to eat, order a takeaway. You live alone, so don’t let the delivery man go upstairs; call the security guard in the lobby and ask him to bring it to you.”
Xiao Yunyun originally wanted to complain that Shen Yuechuan talked too much, but no one had told her to take care of herself for so long, so she nodded. “You drive carefully on the way back.”
It was really strange; in front of Su Jianan, she and Shen Yuechuan were arrogantly fighting with each other, but in private, she didn’t want to fight with him.
She wondered what she wanted to hide in front of Su Jianan.
Watching Xiao Yunyun enter the gate of the apartment, Shen Yuechuan turned around and drove to his apartment.
The uncomfortable feeling didn’t appear again. He was even more determined that it was because he hadn’t rested well in recent days. So when he got back to the apartment, he fell into a deep sleep with the quilt covering him.
He always slept well and rarely dreamed, but it was strange that he had a dream that night.
In his dream, he returned to a very young age and knew for the first time that he was an abandoned child—he had no parents, only a dean. There were no siblings, only a group of peers who had been abandoned just like him.
He didn’t trouble the dean like the other children, asking him why they were abandoned, and he didn’t want to be adopted, so every time a well-dressed couple came to adopt a child, he just hid, but it was often when he couldn’t do so.
When he was young, he was very handsome, with dark hair and dark eyes, white and fair skin, so there were few couples who minded that he was Asian. They approached him and asked, “Are you willing to come home with us and call us daddy and mommy?”
There was a calmness beyond his age in his eyes when he answered, “But you’re not my daddy and mommy.”
The adopting couples sighed and took away the children who were willing to call them that.
The dean was very helpless about his case, but he was always reluctant to blame him. He just asked, “Joshua, why don’t you want to be adopted?”
When he was young, he was sweet and hugged the dean, saying, “I can’t bear to leave you.”
But actually…
It was because he also had expectations, for his biological parents to come and pick him up.
Others and the dean liked him so much, so those who gave him life should like him even more.
He didn’t know why he had so many strange ideas when he was so young. He was quite stubborn and waited until he understood the meaning of the word “survival”.
At the age of fifteen, the operation of the orphanage was in a dilemma. At that time, he was the oldest child there. The elderly dean regarded him as his own child and he proposed to take the responsibility together with the dean.
At that time, there was a business that was very profitable, but was basically monopolized by local hooligans. He was thinking of ways to take business from those young tattooed men who were riding on motorcycles in the streets, and soon he had a stable customer, but also attracted attention.
A month later, he earned $40,000 and gave the money to the dean. After school, he was chased by a group of people on a motorcycle. He was eventually blocked in an alley, and a black-skinned guy, who was twice as strong as him pointed his head with a gun and forced him to take out the money.
At that time he knew very well that even if he compromised, he would inevitably be beat.
So he snatched the gun and pointed it to his head. “Now, who is going to give the business?”
There were many people on his side, and he didn’t dare to shoot. He was finally taken down. Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue appeared in his life at that time, pulling him back from the edge of death and giving him a job that was dangerous but well paid; he spent half of his money on reading and gave the other half of the money to the dean to maintain the operation of the orphanage.
He accelerated grades again and again and he has graduated from a well-known school when his peers were left behind for many years of study. Lu Boyan helped him solve the operation problem of the orphanage. He also gained a new identity—personal assistant of the Lu Enterprises’ president.
He followed Lu Boyan to return to City A, where it was said that his biological mother lived since she was young. He had thought of looking for her, and Lu Boyan even help him secretly.
But he didn’t know why. In the end, he stopped Lu Boyan from letting anyone reveal his life.
Perhaps because he had waited so many years, and he had despaired, waiting for his so-called kin.
Or he didn’t want to know why he was abandoned.
