Chapter 154: Back to the Past
After Shen Yuechuan and Mu Sijue left, only Lu Boyan was left in the huge office.
He stood in front of the window with a mountain of papers piled up on his desk, a half-lit cigarette between his fingers, and fine soot falling from the floor at his feet.
He smoked very fiercely for a while, and it was also during that time that he accidentally found that Su Yicheng was quitting smoking, and when he saw him, he first asked him for cigarettes with a painful face.
"Where's your cigarette?" he asked Su Yicheng.
"It's not my sister, it's the one who followed you when I was a child and called you Brother Bo Yan." Su Yicheng sighed, but the smile on the corner of his lips was full of happiness, "Smoking in my ear all day long is not good for my health, forcing me to quit smoking, and confiscating my cigarettes and lighters." ”
He threw all his cigarettes and lighters to Su Yicheng: "It's all for you." ”
The person who was forced to quit smoking was obviously not him, but he somehow endured the pain and forcibly quit smoking. Since then, he has rarely smoked again, and even at such moments, he has mostly just lit the cigarette and let it burn to ashes.
Shen Yuechuan teased him that he didn't dare to let Su Jian'an know anything, that's right, once the matter was related to Su Jian'an, he would be so cautious, looking forward and backward, and becoming a complete stranger to himself.
He had decided to bring Su Jian'an into his world and leave the final choice to him.
But Su Jian'an is so simple, if she knew everything, she would definitely choose to divorce him without hesitation and go to be with the person she really likes.
Habit is such a terrible thing, they have only been married for half a year, and he has already refused to imagine the life without her after the divorce.
Reason told him that he was going to start today, slowly going back to the past, to the days without her.
When he was about to get off work, Su Jian'an called: "Lu Boyan, I have to work overtime today." I can't go back until around eleven o'clock. What about you?"
"I'm not going back at night." Lu Boyan closed his eyes, "Uncle Qian will pick you up." ”
As if knowing that Lu Boyan was going to hang up the phone, Su Jianan shouted: "Wait a minute" After a pause, she asked, "Why don't you go home?"
Lu Boyan refused to imagine what Su Jian'an looked like now, his heart was frozen, and his voice became cold and hard: "I have business." ”
Su Jian'an was stunned by his voice for a moment, and only after a moment did he remember the "oh" sound: "Then you are busy." ”
During the test, Su Jianan was obviously absent-minded, and sometimes Jiang Shaokai called her several times, but she didn't react.
She didn't know if she was sensitive and suspicious, Lu Boyan was so cold just now.
That coldness gave her an illusion, as if the sweetness, hugging, kissing and laughter after marriage had never happened, it was just a dream of hers, in fact, she and Lu Boyan's later life had been like the first day of marriage, they didn't care about each other, as if she was just a stranger who happened to live under the same roof with him, and he knew that she would leave soon.
But he had kissed her like that at noon, saying that he remembered that the tie had been given by her.
"Jian An, what time are you thinking about?" Jiang Shaokai turned off the instrument, "Are you in trouble?"
Su Jian'an came back to his senses, shook his head, and concentrated on his work.
Don't think too much, she said to herself, maybe Lu Boyan is really just busy
But the woman's sixth sense was troubled, Su Jianan still felt very uneasy, and finished her work at nine o'clock, and after hesitating for a long time, she still called Lu Boyan.
rang for more than forty seconds, and when Su Jianan thought that Lu Boyan would not answer the phone, his voice came from the earpiece: "What's wrong?"
"I'm off work." Su Jian'an picked at the table, but still plucked up the courage to say, "I don't want to go back, it's okay to go to the company to find you?"
After being silent for a long time, Lu Boyan's voice finally sounded again: "Jian An, you will disturb me when you come to the company." Be obedient and go home to sleep. ”
Su Jian was disappointed for a while: "Okay." ”
"I asked Uncle Qian to pick you up at ten o'clock, he should be almost there now." Lu Boyan said, "You go to the door of the police station and have a look." ”
Su Jianan picked up her bag and walked to the door, just when she saw Uncle Qian's car stop, she pursed her lips: "Uncle Qian has arrived." ”
"Then you go home and go to bed early." Lu Boyan said, "That's it. ”
Without waiting for Su Jian'an to say anything, Lu Boyan hung up the phone.
Su Jianan looked at the phone in a daze, and finally determined that Lu Boyan was wrong.
Did he have something wrong with his work?
Wait until tomorrow to ask him.
"Young lady." Uncle Qian came down and opened the car door for Su Jian'an, "Get in the car, I'll send you back." ”
The dark black sedan was speeding on the road, it was not too early at this point in time, there were few pedestrians on the bustling streets, and the bright lights were set off redundant and empty, Su Jian felt even more lonely in her heart.
Uncle Qian saw Su Jian'an's unusual silence, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect me to have the opportunity to pick you up from work." I thought you had been contracted by the young master after work. ”
Su Jianan reluctantly raised the corners of his lips: "He has something to do today, so he won't go home." ”
"In fact, before you got married, he often didn't even bother to go to the apartment, worked overtime until the early hours of the morning and slept directly in the lounge, and got up the next day to continue work." Uncle Qian said, "But after you get married, he comes home frequently, and he won't sleep in the lounge when he works overtime." This time I guess I was really busy, so I stayed in the company overnight. ”
"That's right." Su Jian'an propped her chin, maybe she was really thinking too much, Lu Boyan should be very tired when she was busy, she also called to entangle, next time it will not be like this again.
Uncle Qian's words made Su Jian'an feel at ease for the time being, and after returning home, she took a shower and went to bed early.
At this time, Uncle Qian, who was in the living room downstairs, dialed Lu Boyan's phone: "The young lady is asleep." ”
Lu Boyan said "um": "Is there anything abnormal about her?"
"I didn't look happy when I got in the car." Uncle Qian smiled, "I guess she's not used to me picking her up from work." Later I told her that you used to spend the night at the company, and she looked the same as usual. If it's okay, I'll go and rest first. ”
Lu Boyan hung up the phone, suddenly couldn't read the document in front of him, got up to make coffee, and when he was about to put ice cubes, his hand retracted.
Su Jian'an said that he had a bad stomach and was not allowed to drink ice, and ordered him to go to his secretary, and he never drank iced coffee again. Usually when she cooks the soup for dinner, the chef will also tell him that the soup stewed by his wife today is good for the stomach.
Although Su Jian'an never said it, he could vaguely feel that she cared about him. Ever since he was hospitalized with a stomach ailment and she was scared to cry, he felt it.
But this kind of care should be no different from her concern for Su Yicheng.
After drinking coffee, the work was finished at two o'clock in the morning, and he went to sleep at rest as usual, but suddenly he was a little unaccustomed.
After marrying Su Jian'an, the villa in the suburbs seems to have really become a complete home, and "going home to sleep" has become a natural thing, just like three meals a day.
Because there is Su Jian'an and his wife at home, the home is where he rests after work, and he can see Su Jian'an's smiling face when he wakes up.
But before marrying Su Jian'an, in order to save time, he often met in the lounge, and he didn't feel anything wrong.
Therefore, all his habits will collapse when he encounters Su Jian'an.
In the end, I fell asleep, but woke up early the next day. He looked at the time, it was past six o'clock.
If you go home, you should be able to have breakfast with Su Jian'an.
Reason told him that he shouldn't go back since he had already started doing this, but he picked up his car keys and left the office anyway.
When he met Su Jian'an, it was not only a habit, but his reason would also collapse. After the alarm clock rang twice, Su Jianan finally got up from the bed with her messy hair, and rushed out of the room after washing, but suddenly remembered that Lu Boyan didn't go home today.
She was the only one eating breakfast.
She sighed, and went downstairs listlessly with her head down, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.
When I looked up, Lu Boyan was standing at the bottom of the stairs looking at her.
"You're back" She suddenly ran downstairs like a little balloon full of gas, and stopped in front of Lu Boyan in surprise, "Didn't you say you couldn't come back?"
"I'm talking about not coming back yesterday."
In fact, Lu Boyan didn't know how he would come back, just to have breakfast with her. It's like being busy until the stomach problem recurs, and I came back early in the morning just to see her.
He was even more dissatisfied with his actions and made an excuse to leave: "I'll go up and change my clothes." ”
"But haven't you changed the clothes on your body" Su Jianan looked at him suspiciously, "You didn't wear this set yesterday." ”
Lu Boyan frowned: "I don't like this." ”
After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back, and Su Jianan pursed the corners of his lips: "Picky." ”
But she was still happy that he was back.
The kitchen had already prepared breakfast, and when she saw Lu Boyan coming back, Aunt Liu added another one, set up the knives and forks, and Lu Boyan happened to come down from upstairs.
Su Jian'an thought that he would change into a good-looking suit, but what he was wearing was clearly the same as the one he wore back.
Perhaps sensing her puzzled gaze, Lu Boyan looked over when he sat down, and said calmly: "When I went back to the room, I suddenly found that this set is not bad." ”
"Fickle." Su Jian'an poked the sun egg, and the bread was stained with egg yolk, "It's cloudy and sunny." ”
Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes: "Who are you talking about?"
Su Jian'an coughed and smiled dryly: "I said eggs." ”
After breakfast, Lu Boyan suddenly arranged for Uncle Qian to send Su Jian'an, and Shen Yuechuan came to pick him up.
Su Jian'an couldn't react a little: "Lu Boyan, aren't you going to the company" In that case, they are on the way, why bother asking Shen Yuechuan to pick him up
Shen Yuechuan knew what Lu Boyan was thinking, and hurriedly made an excuse for Lu Boyan: "Yes, we are not going to the company." We're going to another place, just in the opposite direction from the police station. ”
Su Jian'an said "oh", seeing Lu Boyan's cold expression, he walked in front of him, obviously looking like he had something to say, and Shen Yuechuan automatically avoided the car.
"I want to explain to you about yesterday." Su Jian'an plucked up the courage to say.
"What's the matter?"
"When I call you at night, you're busy," Su Jian'an explained to someone for the first time, and inevitably blushed a little, "Actually, I don't mean to pester you to go home, I'm just not used to Uncle Qian picking me up for a while." In the future, if you work overtime, I won't disturb your work. ”
"Good." Lu Boyan said.
"What" Su Jianan raised her head and looked at Lu Boyan in astonishment, "What do you mean?"
"You're a little more conscious than I thought you would." Lu Boyan looked at her with an almost unfamiliar gaze, "If there is anything else, I'll leave." ”
Until Shen Yuechuan drove the car away, Su Jianan didn't react.
In the past, when she got off work early, she liked to run to Lu Boyan's office, it turned out that she had always disturbed him
Then he had a really good temper, and he could even rub her hair and let her go to the secretary to play, and she thought he was happy at that time.
If she doesn't go, she won't go, even if she gets off work at 12 o'clock at noon, she won't go to Lu Boyan's company again
