nDuring 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.

nSu 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.

nAfter 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?”

n“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.”

nShen Yuechuan: “…” He thought, “Da*n, good for you to have a wife!”

nSu 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.”

nLuo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng also called Lu Boyan to join.

nIn 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.”

nThen, Lu Boyan joined the game.

nXiao 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!

nSu 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.”

nXiao Yunyun stuck out her tongue and asked, “Why does everybody say that he’s good? He is obviously a creep!”

n“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.”

n“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!”

nSu Jianan smiled and said nothing.

nShe knew very clearly that Yunyun had actually thanked Shen Yuechuan.

nQin 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.

nShe said that she hated Shen Yuechuan. Actually, Xiao Yunyun still believed in him.

nSu Jianan stood up and said, “Shall we go and see how they’re doing?”

nShe walked and stood behind Lu Boyan, seeing Shen Yuechuan and Luo Xiaoxi were giving him money. Su Jianan asked curiously, “You won?”

nLu Boyan kissed Su Jianan’s face. “Enough to buy half a can of milk powder.”

nSu Jianan smiled slightly; she circled his neck with her arms from behind, leaning on him, and watched him play.

nLu 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.

nLu Boyan was worried that Su Jianan was tired and asked her, “Should we tell Uncle Xu to get you a stool?”

n“No,” Su Jianan said, “I lay down for the entire afternoon, and it’s good to stand for a while.”

nLu Boyan’s eyebrows had a gentle gesture as he looked at Su Jianan with a smile, then turned and played the cards calmly.

nFor the next three or four turns, Lu Boyan won all of them.

nShen 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.”

n“Back off,” Lu Boyan threw a card at Shen Yuechuan and said, “She’s my wife, why should she walk around you?”

nShen Yuechuan looked around, and he seemed to be the only single man on the table.

nLife was really lonely, he couldn’t make it, not even if he wanted to find someone who was like him.

nWatching 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?”

nSu Jianan nodded, “You continue, I will…”

nBefore she finished talking, Lu Boyan had stood up from his seat. “Yunyun, you come play for me.”

n“Me?” Xiao Yunyun wasn’t confident at all. “I just know the rules. I don’t have any skills.”

n“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.”

nAfter that, he took Su Jianan upstairs.

nSu 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.

nPregnant 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.

nSu 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.

nNot long after, the game downstairs also ended.

nThe 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?”

nSu 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.”

nAfter that, Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi left with relief.

nShen Yuechuan was depressed first. He looked at Xiao Yunyun and said, “Why do I feel like I became your full-time driver?”

nXiao Yunyun smiled brightly. “I know you feel honored!”

nShen Yuechuan: “…”

nEither 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.

nWhen 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.

nXiao Yunyun was astonished by what happened in just a few seconds. “Shen Yuechuan, are you okay? Would you like me to drive?”

n“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.”

nAfter speaking, Shen Yuechuan realized that he was complaining.

nHe felt funny, why did he complain to Xiao Yunyun? So that she could make fun of him?

nShen 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.”

nXiao 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.”

nIt 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.

nShe wondered what she wanted to hide in front of Su Jianan.

nWatching Xiao Yunyun enter the gate of the apartment, Shen Yuechuan turned around and drove to his apartment.

nThe 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.

nHe always slept well and rarely dreamed, but it was strange that he had a dream that night.

nIn 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.

nHe 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.

nWhen 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?”

nThere was a calmness beyond his age in his eyes when he answered, “But you’re not my daddy and mommy.”

nThe adopting couples sighed and took away the children who were willing to call them that.

nThe 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?”

nWhen he was young, he was sweet and hugged the dean, saying, “I can’t bear to leave you.”

nBut actually…

nIt was because he also had expectations, for his biological parents to come and pick him up.

nOthers and the dean liked him so much, so those who gave him life should like him even more.

nHe 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”.

nAt 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.

nAt 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.

nA 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.

nAt that time he knew very well that even if he compromised, he would inevitably be beat.

nSo he snatched the gun and pointed it to his head. “Now, who is going to give the business?”

nThere 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.

nHe 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.

nHe 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.

nBut he didn’t know why. In the end, he stopped Lu Boyan from letting anyone reveal his life.

nPerhaps because he had waited so many years, and he had despaired, waiting for his so-called kin.

nOr he didn’t want to know why he was abandoned.
