Chapter 106
She felt little hot between her eyebrows where he kissed.
Somehow, the heat managed to find its way to her cheeks. For quite a while, Su Jianan was dazed in the spot.
When the guests and employees warmly invited Lu Boyan, they naturally fell their eyes upon them. The moment he kissed her—it must have been seen.
Though all the media were writing stories about how much they were in love, the most affectionate action they had displayed was holding hands. However, this time… alas, how embarrassing!
Nevertheless, in others’ eyes, Su Jianan was the happiest wife on the planet right now—
Her cheeks were red like a shy young girl’s. Her eyes were shining bright and were closely chasing after nobody’s but Lu Boyan’s figure. She was exactly the kind of happy wife who was deeply in love with her hubby.
Maybe it had something to do with her gown. Right now, she looked like a blooming white rose in the valley, pretty and pure. This kind of temptation made people desire but find it too holy to touch.
Only Lu Boyan deserved her. Only Lu Boyan could pick such a flower.
Luo Xiaoxi approached her silently. “Tut tut, I’ve seen it all.”
In the whole wide world, Su Jianan was only immune to Luo Xiaoxi’s sarcasm. She said casually, “Many saw it.”
“Well, good girl.” Luo Xiaoxi was surprised hearing Su Jianan’s answer. “You’ve really spent some time with Lu Boyan, right?”
Su Jianan smiled and fell her eyes on Lu Boyan, who had just stepped on the stage and the host was lifting up the mic for him.
During this session, a few media were allowed to take photos. Cameras were flashing but no sound could be heard. Like Su Jianan, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lu Boyan.
He was already attractive enough by simply standing there without a single gesture or word as if he were their god.
Lu Boyan was the one that had that kind of charisma—to convince the entire world.
Moreover, in Su Jian’s eyes, Lu Boyan’s handsomeness had risen to a new level. It was indeed difficult to change her mind if she had fallen in love with someone like him.
Luo Xiaoxi whispered, “If I had known Lu Boyan before your bother, I might have fallen for him too! He’s purely out of this world…”
“It’s too late.” Su Jianan was so proud to hear that even her eyes and eyebrows were dancing with joy. “He’s already mine. You’d better put in some time to chase after my brother.”
Subconsciously, Luo Xiaoxi gazed at Su Yicheng. He and Zhang Mei were standing somewhere not far away. Zhang Mei was acting like a coy girlfriend, which Luo Xiaoxi found really irritating.
“Forget it.” She added unhappily, “I might as well listen to our Boss Lu’s speech.”
Several schools had invited Lu Boyan to give a speech but were all refused, because he never talked much on stage.
He simply thanked the guests and employees for spending their time in Lu Enterprises’ anniversary celebration. He appreciated the employee’s hard work and summarized the company’s achievements last year. He announced some changes in the reward and punishment system, which increased the employee’s annual bonus—He said all of those with his attractive voice and received a round of applause and cheers when he announced the last matter.
Su Jianan had worked in his company for a few days and knew that people in Lu Enterprises actually were in awe of him. He was not the nice kind of boss, and he looked more ferocious than anyone on earth when his face fell.
However, she also got the feeling that everyone in the company actually trusted and worshipped Lu Boyan. Under his leadership, everyone was energetic. Even the middle-aged mid-level managers were also open-minded and motivated, sometimes prudent and sometimes as hot-blooded as young men.
Lu Boyan might not be an easy-going boss, but he was definitely a good manager.
His speech ended in a round of applause louder than that in the beginning. When Su Jian realized the speech was over, Lu Boyan was already standing before her, inviting her for a dance.
Right, they were supposed to the opening dance.
She put her hand on Lu Boyan’s. Others stepped back to leave the room for their dance.
“How do your hand feel?” Lu Boyan asked her.
Su Jianan smiled. “I’ve applied the ointment this morning. I can dance!”
“Aren’t you nervous?”
“Who should I?” Su Jianan winked and asked in reply, “We’re all very close. You can ask them for yourself.”
She was Mrs. Lu now and everyone would nod at her words even if it was not true.
She could be smart sometimes. Lu Boyan could not help smiling. Then, melodious Waltz sounded. He held Su Jianan and danced the way they did at home.
Su Jianan had just learned the dance and had not danced for a few days. He thought her dance would at least be rusty. However, she was much smarter than he had imagined. Actually, she danced well from the beginning. Moreover, she was not afraid of others’ watching, completely different from the female employees who danced with him.
He really taught her well.
In the audience’s eyes, there was no better opening dance than this one.
If Lu Boyan’s and Su Jianan’s beauty could build a mountain, they would build one like Mount Qomolangma. What was even more pleasing to the eye was the way they looked at each other when their eyes met. Moreover, there was so much chemistry between them when they danced that they seemed to have known each other the moment they were born.
“I don’t believe that they jumped to marriage.” Someone said, “Look at the chemistry! They must have been dating for years.”
“Years?” Someone laughed. “Haven’t you heard? They met more than 10 years ago. They’re childhood sweethearts, alright?”
They lowered their voices. “In that way, there’s really nothing between Lu Boyan and Han Ruoxi. Han Ruoxi has been hyping those stories to publicize herself.”
“There is none from the beginning. Once Lu Boyan bought a piece of diamond jewelry, the fans immediately claimed that it was for their idol. Such things were a lot! But think about it, when did Lu Boyan comment on their stories? It was Han Ruoxi who has been misleading the media all along.”
“Ah, how much Diva Han’s face would hurt from embarrassment…!
Han Ruoxi was standing in the dark corner at the back, hearing all the gossip about her word by word.
They guessed it right. All these years, she was the one who had been acting to mislead everyone and even told the media in the know to not spill the beans.
Now that the truth was being uncovered by Su Jianan bit by bit, people could make fun of her if they wanted to. Their words were so harsh that they hurt like knives.
She wouldn’t admit defeat like this.
She would divert all the knives and stabbed back at Su Jianan one by one.
Just then, the music stopped and the opening dance ended as well.
Then, another piece of Waltz sounded. Han Ruoxi smoothed her dress and stepped under the spotlight. Soon, somebody invited her for a dance and she gracefully accepted and danced with other ladies. Her fame and good look made her very conspicuous in the crowd.
Zhang Mei wanted to dance as well and tugged at Su Yicheng. “Shall we?”
Su Yicheng only paused for a second and held out his hand. Then, Zhang Mei elegantly put her hand into his. They were almost the most eye-catching couple on the dance floor.
Seeing them, Luo Xiaoxi chewed her beef hard to blow off some steam.
Qin Wei took away her plate. “You’ll record your weight tomorrow. For crying out loud, you eat the most tonight.”
“Because I’m the most upset one tonight!” Luo Xiaoxi bitterly said.
“How about a dance with me?” Qin Wei smiled invitingly. “If Su Yicheng could dance with other women, why can’t you dance close to me?”
Luo Xiaoxi wiped the corner of her lips. “Dance close to you?”
“Waltz has no passion at all.” Qin Wei smiled mysteriously. “I’ll go check with the backstage. Wait for the next one!”
After that, Qin Wei ran away. Luo Xiaoxi sipped on a glass of fruit wine. Alright, she kind of wondered what music he would put on.
Some were busy dancing, while some were talking about business cooperations. The idlest ones turned out to be Lu Boyan and Su Jianan. From time to time, someone would come to propose a toast. Seeing Lu Boyan gulped down a couple of wines, Su Jianan asked concerned, “Won’t you get drunk?”
Lu Boyan paused and resumed. “I might be tonight.”
Su Jianan did not read the deeper meaning in his words. Just then, the host of the anniversary celebration walked over, and even Lu Boyan could sense the uncommon sparks in her eyes.
Someone squinted. “You like him?”
“Yes!” Su Jian nodded firmly. “Except Watson, he’s my favoriate male celebrity!”
Watson was the hero of the movie that she dragged Lu Boyan to last time.
“He could have sold his face, but he’s now completely lying on his talent!” Su Jianan was getting more and more excited. “I want a picture with him!”
Lu Boyan sounded sullen. “You wish!”
Su Jianan asked bitterly, “Why?”
Lu Boyan held her waist in an enormously tender way. “On such an occasion, it doesn’t match your status. Next time, alright?”
Su Jianan thought it made sense and nodded obediently.
In fact, Lu Boyan would never give her the chance to see the host again. He lied to her. As for the reason—they did not even have a picture, and yet she wanted a picture with another man? In her dreams!
Therefore, Su Jianan missed a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
The ballroom was melodious and the atmosphere was relaxing. Lu Boyan was wearing a little smile, while Su Jianan was totally unaware that she was neglected.
Soon, the Waltz’s ending note fell, and Qin Wei also came back. He gave Luo Xiaoxi an ambiguous look to stir her expectation and made her wonder more what was in his potion.
Two minutes later, passionate salsa rang.
Like the music, the salsa dance was also passionate and direct, wanting to stir everyone’s emotions.
Salsa was Luo Xiaoxi’s favorite. She liked to do aerobic salsa in her spare time, and Qin Wei liked to dance close to girls on the dancefloor.
They found a hobby in common and did it together more than once, and every time they enjoyed it very much.
As expected, Luo Xiaoxi covered her mouth before she barely screamed, and then she looked at Qin Wei in surprise.
Qin Wei looked at her up and down. “In this dress, you’ll make a lot of men fall for you, and I’ll be your first victim.”
“Don’t sweet-talk me with your tricks on those girls.”
Before Luo Xiaoxi could finish, she was dragged into the dancefloor by Qin Wei. He slovenly caressed the edge of her cheek. “Xiaoxi, I can make you forget Su Yicheng. We have hobbies in common and our personalities are the same. We are a perfect couple. You love him, but he can’t give you the complete happiness you want.”
Luo Xiaoxi was distracted and was dragged onto the dance floor by Qin Wei. She was fast and had the chemistry with Qin Wei, thus they soon danced really well together.
Unrestrained salsa outdid moderate Waltz in terms of stirring emotion, plus the couple of Luo Xiaoxi and Qin Wei was very conspicuous. The audience became much more excited, and even Su Jianan dragged Lu Boyan near the dance floor. Then, she spotted Su Yicheng on the opposite.
“Does he feel a little jealousy?”
