Chapter 116
As soon as the car drove out from the underground parking lot, they felt the glare of the sun outside the window. Su Jianan looked at the girl with a slender long leg on the side of the road, and couldn’t help sighing. “Summer is coming.”
Luo Xiaoxi said that she liked summer the most, because girls could have the perfect excuse to show their good body in every way. And she always had the illusion that Su Yicheng would fall in love with her one day.
However, the summer of the city fleet, and it would be gone before people even realized it, just like Luo Xiaoxi’ illusion.
“Where to next?” Lu Boyan said.
“Go to the Wanhong Square in front of us.”
It was really crowded in the large shopping plaza on the weekend. So Su Jianan took Lu Boyuan straight to a brand’s specialty store on the second floor.
“Hello, Miss Su,” the clerk greeted Su Jianan familiarly, “are you here to buy something for Mr. Su again? We just have a lot of new arrivals, do you need some introduction?”
“No, thank you,” Su Jianan said, “I will take a look myself first.”
The clerk smiled and stopped. “Okay. Please.”
“Do you often buy things for your brother?” Lu Boyan asked.
“He has handed it over to me since I went to college, and he is always discontent about the things his secretary got him, besides, he barely has time for it,” Su Jianan did a rough calculation, “I have been doing this for him for six or seven years.”
Then she stopped in front of the cufflink’s showcase.
There was a pair of royal blue cufflinks inside the case, which were inlaid with low-key but shiny sapphire and perfectly cut. Su Jianan thought them to be really sedated and revealed a sense of confidence, which perfectly fitted to one of the suits of Su Yicheng.
“Miss Su, these cufflinks are personally designed by our design director, let me show them to you,” the clerk put on the gloves to take out the cufflinks, and handed them to Su Jianan, “they are only limited to be 71 pairs, and there is only one pair in the city. I bet Mr. Su will love it.”
Su Jianan smiled. “Pack them up for me, thank you.”
She then picked some ties and several pairs of socks for Su Yicheng, who paid great attention to the external image. Thus his socks for the suits, casual wear, sportswear, and other different styles of shoes, must be clearly sorted and neatly placed, because he had made strict requirements on such thing.
Regarding this, Lu Boyan was just like Su Yicheng. Su Jianan pondered that if she was born for people like this? Otherwise why the two most important men in her life turned out to be like this?
Lu Boyan naturally handed his card to the store manager when they went to the checkout. Su Jianan stopped him. “They are bought for my brother.” She implied that he didn’t have to pay for them.
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “Your brother is also my brother.”
“Beep—”, the credit card machine printed out the consumption receipt, thus Su Jianan still couldn’t refuse Lu Boyan.
When Su Jianan was carrying the bag out, she inadvertently saw a dark blue twill tie from the display window. It looked graceful and noble on the fake model, which evoked her desire. Lu Boyan whispered to her ear. “Pack it up?”
Su Jianan came to her sense. “No, the design is not suitable for my brother.”
Even though she said so, she still looked back before she left with disappointment, which made her unaware that she was already dragged into a women’s clothing store by Lu Boyan.
“Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu.” Remembering the faces of the celebrities was also the work of luxury clerks, so the tall and beautiful clerks immediately recognized Lu Boyan and Su Jianan when they entered the store. They smiled and greeted them. “Good afternoon. Mrs. Lu, we have a lot of new designs of summer, please feel free to take a look.”
Su Jianan now realized where she was. She turned to say to Lu Boyan, “They called me Miss Su when I came last time with Xiaoxi.”
The clerk smiled. “You are married to Mr. Lu, so now it is Mrs. Lu. Everyone in the city knows that.”
Su Jianan blushed and was confused after hearing the brilliant compliment, which was difficult to tell. “Why did you bring me here?”
Lu Boyan pointed to a dress in the shop window. “Try it.”
The clerk took off the dress complyingly and carefully placed it in the hand. “Mrs. Lu, please follow me to the fitting room.”
Su Jianan felt awkward and looked at Lu Boyan incredulously. “Did you indeed remember what happened last night or not?”
Because when he was too drunk to wake up last night, he promised to take her to buy clothes today until they filled the entire cloakroom.
She had already forgotten about it, but Lu Boyan’s unreasonable behavior started to make her suspicious.
Lu Boyan answered with a faint smile. “I remember all that I should remember.”
What did it mean? What was it that he should remember? What about she combed his hair all back?
Su Jianan felt that Lu Boyan would not let her go if he remembered that, which gave her a thrill on the back. Then she just followed the clerk into the fitting room.
Su Jianan rarely wore dresses because of her job. But it was undeniable that she looked much better in dresses than the casual outfits.
Since she hadn’t worn dresses for a long time, it was hard for her to avoid feeling uncomfortable. She felt very awkward when she came out of the fitting room, and embarrassingly asked Lu Boyan. “What do you think?”
He looked at her up and down, made Su Jianan so nervous and felt like she was the little girl in the school who once welcomed the staff from the Education Bureau for inspection, until she heard Lu Boyan asking the clerk to wrap it up. The clerk handed her some other dresses. “Mrs. Lu, here are some dresses Mr. Lu selected for you. You can try, they must look good on you.”
Su Jianan was stunned and looked at Lu Boyan incredulously. “Do you really want to fill the cloakroom?”
Lu Boyan did not answer but closed the door of the fitting room for her. “Take it slow, we have a lot of time.”
Su Jianan then had to try them on one by one. Finally, except for the black one that Lu Boyan disliked, the others were all packed up.
Su Jianan felt somehow satisfied when she took all the bags one after another and watched the credit card machine printed out the receipt, because it was the first time she spent Lu Boyan’s money, with the title Mrs. Lu.
When they walked out of the store, Su Jianan asked Lu Boyan. “Why do you only pick dresses for me?”
Lu Boyan answered directly. “You look good in dresses.”
Su Jianan blushed even more when she remembered that Lu Boyan threw her bundle pajamas into the trashcan last night and asked her to wear his shirt as a nightdress. “But I can’t wear it every day, it is inconvenient to work. Right, can you send me back to my previous apartment later? I have to go back and pack a few summer clothes. It’s getting hot in a few days, and I can’t wear the shirts for spring.”
“Why are you going back?” Lu Boyan beckoned Su Jianan to look forward. “Isn’t that your favorite casual brand? Let’s go take a look.”
It was a very famous casual wear brand in the United States, whose designs were neat and simple. Su Jianan bought most of her clothes here.
“How do you know that I like their clothes the most?” Su Jianan did not ask further but dragged Lu Boyan into the store. The manager was very familiar with her and wanted to greet her by calling her Miss Su, but at the sight of Lu Boyan, she smiled and said, “It should be Mrs. Lu.”
Su Jianan had become accustomed to the conversion of identity, she just picked a few T-shirts, summer pants and home clothes and went directly to checkout without trying them on.
The money she spent on these clothes was less than how much they paid for the three dresses, thus Su Jianan said complacently, “See? This is called being thrifty! I don’t really understand what are the capitalists like you and my brother thinking about, like flying to Paris just for trying an outfit.”
“In fact, we didn’t think much,” Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows, “but what do you do with the money you earned if you don’t spend them?”
Su Jianan thought about it and agreed. She pursed her lips. “I’m going to the shop across the street to buy milk tea, what do you want to drink? Their vanilla milk tea is very good!”
Since only girls would be attracted to the sweet and greasy drink like milk tea, so Lu Boyan just said, “Latte.”, and took away the bag in Su Jianan’s hand.
“… Okay,” Su Jianan felt a bit awkward that people like Lu Boyan didn’t get long with milk tea at all, she said, “go wait for me in the parking lot.”
Then she went to the shop. She thought she was going to wait, but there was no guest in front, so it only took several minutes for the clerk to make the milk tea and Lu Boyan’s coffee. She picked them up and intended to head for the parking lot, but unconsciously ended up in the men’s clothing store they visited before. She asked the clerk to wrap up the dark blue twill tie in the display cabinet.
“Miss Su, is it for Mr. Su?” The store manager asked with a smile while swiping her credit card.
“No,” Su Jianan also smiled, “it’s for my husband.”
She put the box directly into the bag without holding it with a bag, and then quickly went downstairs.
Lu Boyan had been waiting for her in the car at the intersection, but… what about the girls huddling around the driver’s window?
Su Jianan looked carefully and recognized them, who were the girls in the supermarket.
She walked in stride and saw two girls leaning on the window. Lu Boyan was relieved when he saw her and said to the girls, “My wife is back, can you let me go now?”
“You are really married? Is this your wife…?” The girls glanced over Su Jianan with a condescending look. “Big sis, can we exchange our contact information with the brother?”
Su Jianan was astonished—why could they be so brazenly even after they knew she and Lu Boyan had been married?
Also, she just looked like two years older than them, why did they call her sister? Were they playing dumb when they were still young?
Su Jianan took the passenger seat directly and put down the coffee and milk tea. She then leaned over the window of the driver’s seat. “No. And, if you call me sister, you should call him uncle.”
As the window slowly rolled up, the two girls were greatly frightened, thus they loosened their hands on the window and left sulkily.
Su Jianan pouted, only to find that she was almost in the arms of Lu Boyan, which seemed to be really ambiguous.
She suddenly blushed and tried to get up, but she was held down by Lu Boyan. “What do you mean by calling me uncle? You think I’m old?”
“Well,” Su Jianan looked up and solemnly said, “Brother Boyan, in fact, you look nothing like 30 years old, I mean it! Otherwise, those two little girls would not come to ask for your phone number… Hey, don’t put your hands on me, people will get it wrong when they saw us like this.”
“So in this way——” Lu Boyan wispered and completely ignored Su Jian’an’s begging for pardon, “you have a problem with me already turned 30?”
