Chapter 139 When You Are Old

When Su Jianan and Luo Xiaoxi were preparing to leave the restaurant, Lu Boyan called and asked if they had finished.

“We are ready to go home,” Su Jianan asked, “what about you?”

“I am done here too.”

Lu Boyan spoke much slower than usual, so Su Jianan knew that he must drink again, and he drank a lot. She said, “Then wait for me at the hotel, and I will pick you up with Uncle Qian.”

She hung up the phone and wanted to tell Luo Xiaoxi that she needed to leave, whilst Luo Xiaoxi smiled and waved her hand, and gave the expression of her had already understood. “Just go, don’t let your dear wait too long. I’m going home too.”

So Su Jianan asked Uncle Qian to drive the car to the hotel where Lu Boyan had dinner.

It awed people already when they just saw the luxurious five-star hotel with the fancy decoration on the exterior. The doorman came up to open the door for Su Jianan as soon as Uncle Qian stopped the car. She saw Lu Boyan and several middle-aged people standing at the door of the hotel.

“Boss Lu, you don’t really want to go having some fun after drinking? It’s on us and we’ll make you satisfied!” The middle-aged man laughed slyly and everyone understood what did the so-called “have fun” mean.

Lu Boyan just said that he would not go, and they could suit themselves.

One of the men obviously wanted to persuade Lu Boyan to go with him, but he was stopped by another person. The man said, “Boss Lu has a wife like a fairy at home, why would he want to stay with us? He doesn’t want to go because he wants to go home so badly. Let’s go, don’t stop him going home.”

They nodded and smiled as if they understood something, so they just walked away.

Lu Boyan raised his wrist and looked at the time, assuming that Su Jianan should have arrived. Sure enough, he saw her standing not far away.

He walked toward Su Jianan, “When did you arrive?”

“Just arrived,” Su Jianan pointed to the man who had just pulled Lu Boyan to ‘have fun’, “I know his wife, very virtuous and well maintained. She cares nothing but her husband and child, and the only hobby of hers is to play a few rounds of mahjong with friends on the weekends.”

In fact, she was only curious about if the wife knew that her husband was so reckless outside. If she knew, how could she bear it?

Lu Boyan looked deeply at Su Jianan and suddenly asked, “Are you afraid that I will become like this one day?”

“You won’t.” Su Jianan did not hesitate.

Lu Boyan raised his brows in interest, “Why are you so sure?”

“If you want to, do you even need to find?” Su Jianan thought of all pretty female artists of Lu Enterprise Media, “Someone had already come to the door okay?”

However, since they have been married for so long, she did not encounter the so-called “woman of Lu Boyan” to find her trouble in addition to the misunderstanding that caused by Han Ruoxi’s suicide. She also believed that Lu Boyan was not that kind of person.

Su Jianan looked at Lu Jianyan up and down, “I am afraid that you will grow beer belly just like them.” Even though Lu Boyan was handsome enough, it would still be very troublesome to look at it…

Lu Boyan smiled, “You can rest assured that I will keep myself looking like this before I got old, just to make you feel happy.”

Su Jianan’s heart skipped a beat— before he got old… It turned out that Lu Boyan thought that they could grow old together?

The topic was so nice to talk about so Su Jianan couldn’t bear ending it so easily. She asked him, “What about after we got old? What will you become?” She imagined and came to a conclusion: Lu Boyan would still be a very handsome old man even if he got old.

Lu Boyan thought for a moment, “The hair may turn grey.”

Su Jianan felt unexpected and disappointed. She looked at Lu Boyan’s black hair. “Your hair is going to be grey…” She had never thought about it.

Lu Boyan caressed her hair, “What, yours will too.”

Getting older was the most taboo topic for women, especially the hair, it was unbearable to see it become grey. Su Jianan smiled and pushed Lu Boyan, “Go away, you will! I will look like this in the next 10 or 30 years, even 50 years!”

Lu Boyan just ridiculed her to be stupid and got her in the car, “Let’s go home.”

After closing the door, Su Jianan smelled the alcohol on Lu Boyan, “How much did you drink?”

“I don’t know,” Lu Boyan pressed his temple, “people of this age like to drink liquor when talking about business.”

Seeing he was uncomfortable, Su Jianan asked him to turn his face over and skillfully massaged his temple.

She had helped Su Yicheng a lot in the past. As a result, Su Yicheng did not go to find his girlfriend every time he drank but went to find Su Jianan in her apartment instead. Every time she finished, Su Yicheng felt comfortable and then would eat something Su Jianan cooked for him. He always said that it was the perfect ending of the day.

“How are you feeling?” She asked Lu Boyan.

“Good,” Lu Boyan asked after a pause, “who did you study with?”

“No one, I found the video myself on the Internet. My brother used to drink too much and he always had a headache, so I learned it,” Su Jianan spit out her tongue, “in fact, I just wanted to practice on him, but I didn’t dare to tell him, so he didn’t find anything! He just said that I was getting better and better later.”

She sounded a bit proud. She had been sharing these little secrets with Lu Boyan lately, some of which Su Yicheng even did not know, and Lu Boyan liked to listen to her talking about it.

Lu Boyan opened his eyes and found that Su Jianan was so close to him at this moment. The faint aroma of her body got into his breath and gave him an illusion that they were really intimate.

His breathing suddenly became chaotic, and his mind was also unstable.

In case he might make some improper actions, Lu Boyan pulled down Su Jianan’s hand and asked her to sit tight, “You are so skilled in tie, is it because you have practiced it with your brother?”

Su Jianan thought for a long time to recall that she had helped Lu Boyan with this tie two months ago. At that time, he asked her if she had done this before with someone, and she said it was just not him.

She never thought that he still remembered it for such a long time. Did he suddenly ask this question because he still had some doubt about the answer?

She suddenly felt a little unnatural and coughed, “Who else would it be besides my brother?”

Lu Boyan suddenly laughed, which made Su Jianan felt that he did it because he was happy.

But why he suddenly felt so happy?

Before she came up with an answer, Lu Boyan suddenly leaned on her shoulder, “Wake me up when we are home.”

It was the third time.

Su Jianan looked at him. She didn’t feel shocked or unexpected this time, but wonderful gentle.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Boyan was a genius in business. He made enormous wealth and was able to make hundreds of responses, which looked pretty fine.

But Su Jianan knew that he had paid unmeasurable hard work and effort that ordinary people couldn’t imagine for everything he had. He was also a human with blood, and he could feel tired.

When he was tired, he chose to lean on her shoulder. Every time he saw him looked like this, he didn’t become shorter in her heart but made her feel like she should care more about him besides liking him.

She didn’t know how he survived those moments when he didn’t meet her before, but she hoped that she could be with him in the future.

…

The next day was Saturday. After breakfast, Lu Boyan suddenly said that he would take Su Jianan to a place.

Su Jianan looked at him suspiciously. He dressed casually so it didn’t look like he was going to a formal occasion. She tilted her head and asked, “Where are we going?”

Lu Boyan mysteriously raised his lips. “You will know when you arrive.”

“Okay.” Su Jianan changed her shoes and followed him out.

The car was driven in the direction of the suburbs of the city. Su Jianan thought for a long time and had no clue, so she simply gave up and waited for the car to stop at the destination.

But she never thought that it would be here.

— Happy World. Adults’ amusement park.

Standing in the doorway, large-scale gaming equipment such as the ferris wheel and various roller coasters emerged from the trees, and the cars skittered. The laughter and screams of the tourists came from the sky, and people outside the park could even feel that warm and uplifting atmosphere.

“You can’t go to the children’s amusement park next door, so I can only bring you here.” Lu Boyan asked, “What do you think? Satisfied?”

Su Jianan still held Lu Boyan’s hand tightly. “It turns out that this is how the place looked like. I heard from Xiaoxi that it covered an area of more than 1,000 acres and had more than 70 amusement facilities. It is the largest amusement park in the southern part of China. What can I be unsatisfied about!” She was a little excited, “Let’s get in!”

Lu Boyan had already got the ticket long ago. After checking, they entered the world full of joy. Su Jianan seemed to turn into the child fourteen years ago at that moment.

She was so excited that she couldn’t help jumping up and pointed to a game device in the distance. “That is the king of the roller coaster ‘vertical roller coaster’ that Xiaoxi had talked about?! Lu Boyan, can we try it later?”

Lu Boyan just said, “Whatever you say today.”

This was what he owed to Su Jianan.

Fourteen years ago, he promised to take her to the amusement park tomorrow but was suddenly informed that the matter of going abroad was arranged. At that time, the situation was special, and it couldn’t be delayed. He could only leave the country with his mother.

Su Jianan always said that he lied to her, but it was actually not. If he is not in a hurry to go abroad, he would fulfill his promise to take her to the amusement park the next day.

This was the day he carried out his words, which had been late for 14 years.

“Then let’s line up!”

Su Jianan held Lu Boyan’s hand and walked to the queue of the vertical roller coaster.

Today was the weekend, and the weather was good, so there were many people here, including many lovers, each of them was in sweet love and got others envious. But Su Jianan and Lu Boyan still made them the most eye-catching couple.

A handsome man, and a beautiful woman, such a combination seemed to be the destiny, not to mention their tacit moves. The woman was arbitrarily dependent, and the man only spoiled, all in the garden became their background.

Noticing that people were looking at them, Su Jianan did not feel shy and unnatural as before but did not care instead.

It was the first time she had been to a place like this, and it was Lu Boyan who brought her here, so she had no time to be shy.

After nearly 10 minutes waiting in line, they finally got on a roller coaster.

Lu Boyan set all the safety equipment for Su Jianan, then took care of his own protection. He turned and looked at her, whose face was almost stunned.

“I am a little scared,” Su Jianan looked at the curved vertical track, her voice started to tremble, “Lu Boyan, I…”

Lu Boyan grabbed her hand, “I’m here.”

Several words seemed to be magic, and Su Jianan’s heart started to beat normally. She took a deep breath and smiled at Lu Boyan, “Well, I am not afraid!”

At this time, the roller coaster slowly started vertically upwards, Su Jianan had a feeling of being suddenly thrown down. The glare of the sun shined down, she endured for a while but still couldn’t hold it, so she screamed.

“Ah—! Lu Boyan!”
