nSu Jianan was embarrassed and blushed. After withdrawing her hands back and pretending that nothing had happened, she continued to watch the movie.

nAfter a while of carefully thinking, she gravely snatched the popcorn back and then went on watching the movie as if nothing had happened.

nShe dared not to look at Lu Boyan’s expression.

nMore than an hour later, the film was over, and the audience left the showroom while discussing the plot. Lu Boyan put back his cell phone.

nSu Jianan, like many other fans, watched the movie very carefully. She didn’t pay much attention to Lu Boyan, who seemed to be looking at his cell phone all the time.

nShe moaned for a moment and asked him, “You don’t like watching movies?”

nLu Boyan raised his eyebrows and said, “It depends on who I am with.”

nHe barely looked at the screen while with her. Did that mean he just didn’t like watching movie with her?

nSu Jianan looked away and said, “Lu Boyan, could you be a little bit euphemistic?”

nLu Boyan looked at her slightly unhappy face for a moment and fondled her head. “Don’t be silly. If I don’t want to watch movie with you, I won’t follow you into here at all. Do you think that I didn’t watch it at all?”

nSu Jianan glanced at him. “You haven’t watched it at all. I didn’t mean to blame you. I just want to tell you that you don’t need to be with me if you don’t like to. I was just bored and wanted to kill time by watching movies.”

nLu Boyan sighed. In order to prove that he did watch it, he briefly restated the main plot of the movie and correctly repeated some dialogues of the main characters and described the ending of each character.

nSu Jianan was stunned. “Have you watched the movie before?”

n“The premiere of this movie was on the last Saturday, and we have been together during all these days. Do you think that I would have time to go out and watch a movie?” Lu Boyan asked. “Jianan, not everyone has to stare at the screen from the beginning to the end to understand a movie.”

nHe could do two things at the same time and did them efficiently.

nSu Jianan could only admire Lu Boyan.

n“I don’t know if there will be a sequel of this movie.” She sighed when the film’s finale was still playing on the big screen.

n“The shooting of the sequel will start in half a year, and the crew remains unchanged,” Lu Boyan said.

n“Wow?” Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan strangely and excitedly. “How do you get to know this so clearly? There is none official news about it yet.”

nLu Boyan handed his phone to Su Jianan, on which she saw an e-mail written in several lines of brief and sincere English words:

nMr. Lu, I’m glad that your wife likes our work. Please tell her that the shooting work of the sequel will start in half a year with the same cast. The plot will be more exciting, and the production will be more excellent. In addition, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation.

nThe signature of the e-mail was a familiar English name.

nSu Jianan thought about it for a while, remembering that it was the president’s name of a movie studio.

nIn the last e-mail Lu Boyan delivered to the president, he talked about a cooperation with him, and the president mentioned the series of the films to him. Lu Boyan replied, “I’m watching the movie with my wife. And she loves it very much.”

nUnder normal circumstances, Su Jianan might feel excited and sweet because of Lu Boyan’s last sentence. But at that moment, she was more surprised—Lu Boyan actually cooperated with such a wonderful production company whose movies created box office myths every year!

nShe covered her mouth with her hands excitedly and grabbed Lu Boyan’s arm. “Since you know him, then can you help me get Watson’s autograph?”

n“The hero in this movie?” Lu Boyan raised the corner of his lips and said word by word, “Don’t even think about it.”

nAfter that, he took Su Jianan down the stairs by elevator.

nSu Jianan was not star-struck, but she had adored the hero of the movie for many years. Lu Boyan still refused her request even after she acted like a spoiled child in front of him by handing his hands on the road.

nShe made a last try. “I’ll promise you anything. Well, how about I make breakfast for you in the next three months?”

n“Didn’t you say that our chef is the professional one?” Lu Boyan was not moved at all. “Then, I won’t bother you with this. You’ll only be responsible for making our dinner.”

nSu Jianan curled her lips with frustration. “You’re stingy.”

nWhen they just arrived at the door of the mall, Lu Boyan’s mobile phone suddenly vibrated. Su Jianan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the name on the caller ID—it was Han Ruoxi.

nShe suddenly had an unnatural feeling in her heart without reason. She smiled and pointed to a skincare counter in the mall. “You answer the phone first. I happen to want to have a look at that counter.”

nLu Boyan seized her hand and stopped her from leaving as he answered the phone.

nThere were many people passing by them, making all kinds of sounds. Su Jianan could not hear what Han Ruoxi had said to Lu Boyan, but she could hear Lu Boyan’s answer.

nHe always didn’t say much and would only perfunctorily answer others with “um” or “OK”. “You can discuss this with the agent.” He hung up the phone in less than two minutes.

nHad it not been for this call, Su Jianan would have forgotten Han Ruoxi and the innumerable affairs between her and Lu Boyan.

nBut in fact, Han Ruoxi only went abroad for filming. She did not disappear from her and Lu Boyan’s life. Moreover, she would be back soon.

n“We just talked about her returning and attending the anniversary celebration of the company.” Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianan calmly. “What are you thinking about?”

nSu Jianan looked seriously. “I’m wondering if I should buy another kind of masks.”

nLu Boyan was speechless.

nSu Jianan took his hand and went to the parking lot. “Forget about it, let’s go home first.”

nActually, she was curious about the reason why Han Ruoxi called Lu Boyan. However, since Lu Boyan dared to answer the phone in front of her, there was no need for her to fret about the thing.

nIt was almost ten o’clock in the evening after they went home and had dinner. Su Jianan didn’t want to sleep at all, but she could not think of anything to do. So, she just turned around in the living room, moving the things back and forth here and there, and finally bumped into Lu Boyan.

nSince there was nothing to do at home, Uncle Xu and other servants had already gone to sleep. There was only Su Jianan wandering around in the living room. Finally, she saw someone, so, she smiled at him, “Aren’t you busy?”

n“No,” Lu Boyan answered and then asked, “What’s wrong?”

n“Do something with me. It’s too boring.” Su Jianan held his hands and looked eagerly at him.

nLu Boyan raised his lips slightly. “There aren’t many things we can do at this time. What do you want me to do with you, huh?”

nHe repeated “do” three times, which deviated Su Jianan’s thoughts, and a unnatural expression flashed within her eyes. She coughed. “Don’t be too cheeky!”

nSuddenly something came into her mind as she spoke. “By the way. When we were watching the movie, the hero and heroine were dancing the Waltz. But why didn’t you teach me a lot of dance moves in it? The more complicated the moves are, the more interesting the dance will be.”

nLu Boyan checked the time. “What about I teach you right now?”

nSu Jianan pretended to think seriously, “Okay.”

nLu Boyan took her hand, ready for a pose to dance, and followed up what he taught her yesterday—Conrad exchanging steps, side sliding steps, and back sliding steps, but what he was teaching was more complex than yesterday.

nAt first, he thought that Su Jianan could not digest what he thought in a while and planned to teach her bit by bit. But she learned very flexibly and was really clever. Once he taught it, then she could clumsily dance with him.

nAfter several practicing, she could dance the moves really smoothly and gracefully. In addition, her figure was tall and slim that she looked really beautiful when dancing the Waltz.

nIn fact, Lu Boyan would rather she was not so smart and learned slowly, forgetting the next move when dancing awkwardly, looking at him embarrassedly with a good-looking little face, and stepping on his feet accidentally. In this way, he would have countless opportunities to confuse her to give him a good hand on her own initiative.

nHowever, she had been skilled for moving back and forth, turning around, and sliding in a dance. She matched up with him airily like a just awakened elf, laughing happily and contentedly.

nLooking at her, Lu Boyan thought it was also OK.

nAs long as she was happy.

nThere were superb audio electronics in the living room. Lu Boyan played music and started to dance with Su Jianan from the most basic moves. There was already something between them that could be called “tacit understanding”, and they danced smoothly and comfortably.

n“You’re learning faster than yesterday.” It was rare for him to praise Su Jianan.

n“That’s because Teacher Lu taught better than yesterday.” Su Jianan turned around, cooperating with Lu Boyan. “Teacher Lu, how many students have you taught?”

n“You are the first one.”

nSu Jianan smiled. “It’s a great honor for me.”

nIt was already twenty past eleven in the evening. Su Jianan was tired of dancing and let go of Lu Boyan’s hand. “Teacher Lu, let’s finish the class today.”

nLu Boyan still held her right hand. “Don’t you remember that we have rules for ending a class?”

n“Rules?”

nSu Jianan suddenly remembered that she had been tricked to kiss him yesterday. “Hooligan!”

nShe showed a smile of understanding and stared at Lu Boyan’s lips while tiptoeing a little bit and shoving the paper money of one hundred yuan he had given her that morning into his hands. She got rid of him neatly and said, “it’s the tuition, Mr. Lu, and good night.”

nShe slipped away so fast that Lu Boyan watched her back disappear in the corner and looked at the cash in his hand with a smile.

nHe received a call from his secretary when he was about to go upstairs.

n“Boss Lu, the custom dress you bought has already been airlifted to China. Would your wife like to have a try first?”

n“No,” Lu Boyan said, “Lock it in the safe of our company first, and I’ll pick it up tomorrow.”

n“OK.”

nLu Boyan suddenly looked forward to attend the company’s anniversary celebration after hanging up the phone.

nHe almost witnessed Su Jianan grow up and knew how stunning she could be. As for him, he wanted the whole world to be surprised by her while he also wanted to hide her beauty and appreciate it alone.

nBy contrast, Su Jianan only felt uneasy.

nShe rarely attended parties not because she kept a low profile but that she really didn’t like these occasions and didn’t know much about the rules of those occasions. A few rare experiences of the parties she gained were under the force of Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi. Now she regretted. She should have followed Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi to the party more often.

nIn this way, now she could at least comfort herself that there was no difference between the ordinary parties and the anniversary celebration of Lu Enterprise and that she could handle it.

nHowever, even if she really couldn’t handle the situation, she still had Lu Boyan with her.

nWith him around her, she had nothing to worry about.

nHowever, while she wanted to rely on him, she also wanted to act like those famous ladies who could behave gracefully with ease at parties and made Lu Boyan feel proud.

nShe was in a dilemma…

nIn the end, Su Jianan buried her face into the pillow-

n“Forget it. Come what may!”
