Chapter 100 Surprise

The swelling on Su Jianan’s hand was finally subsided after her careful treatment by icing it and applying medicine to it for a day.

Lu Boyan got off work early and returned home at 5:00 pm. Su Jianan happily showed him her hand and said, “Look, it’s recovered!”

“Recovered?”

Lu Boyan squeezed where her hand was sprained, which almost caused Su Jianan to jump up in pain. She pushed him strongly and said, “You did it on purpose!”

Tang Yulan walked over to them with a smile and said, “Well, don’t be childish! Uncle Xu said that the makeup artist would arrive soon. Go upstairs to change your clothes.”

Lu Boyan went upstairs with Su Jianan, took his clothes out of the cloakroom, and said to her, “Go in and change your clothes.”

Su Jianan answered him, went in the room, and locked the door. She saw the long dress hanging in the empty cabinet at first glance.

In fact, she never liked the occasions where she needed to dress up, and she didn’t like complicated dresses either. This was why she had refused to attend the receptions with Su Yicheng before.

However, this time, because of Lu Boyan, and because she would be present as his wife, she was willing to put on a long and complicated dress, willing to spend more than half an hour in putting on a delicate makeup and making herself look perfect, and willing to attend those parties full of clicking sounds of glasses with a smile.

She hoped that when she stood by him, they were perfectly matched, and she did not allow anyone to doubt his taste of choosing his wife.

However… The reality did not always go on as one hoped.

Because her right hand was hurt, she could barely pull the dress up with her left hand to cover her chest and was unable to zip up and tidy the dress.

She could only cry and walk around anxiously in the cloakroom. “Please don’t let me get off on the wrong foot.”

After a while, Lu Boyan’s voice sounded from the outside. “Jianan?”

Su Jianan answered faintly, “Wh-what’s wrong?”

Lu Boyan actually wanted to tell her that the makeup artist had come, but from her voice, he felt that there was something wrong with her. When he thought of her injured hand, he immediately understood what was happening inside the cloakroom. He knocked on the door and said, “Open the door.”

Su Jianan looked at herself in the mirror— as long as she loosened her hands, the upper part of her body would be completely revealed.

“It’s inappropriate to open the door now.”

Lu Boyan seemed to know that Su Jianan was hesitating and asked, “Can you put on the dress by yourself?”

She could not…

Su Jianan thought for a moment and decided to open the door— anyway, when she went to try the dress a few days ago, Lu Boyan had already seen her dressed like this and touched her body, so, it didn’t matter if he saw and touched it again…

She went to the door, closed her eyes, and opened the door.

Lu Boyan had prepared to see her half-dressed before, but when he opened the door and saw Su Jianan, his breathing was still somewhat faster.

He didn’t know how long it had taken her to hesitate in the cloakroom. Her little white cheeks were a little blushed now, and some strands of her hair were scattered in front of her forehead. Her pure eyes looked extraordinarily innocent.

However, her look tempted him to commit a crime.

She couldn’t pull up the zipper, so, her soft and smooth neck, shoulders, and back were almost all revealed. Her skin was like a melted suet jade. It was so white, delicate, and fascinating, but she looked so innocent when she covered her chest with her left hand…

She looked both shy and seductive at the same time.

Lu Boyan clearly felt that his breathing became heavy, and he quickly walked behind her, suppressing the weird tone in his voice. “Loosen your hand.”

Su Jianan’s face was so hot that it even could cook eggs. She answered him in a low voice, loosened her hand, and immediately felt Lu Boyan’s grip on her dress.

Lu Boyan adjusted the dress for her and could not avoid touching her back and shoulders. At first, Su Jianan only felt the heat of his fingertips. After a while, she felt that his fingertips seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and the heat reached every corner of her body through her skin, which made her frozen and feel like in a fire.

She didn’t know whether it was her or Lu Boyan’s body temperature that rose high suddenly.

In the spacious cloakroom, a quiet ambiguous atmosphere was constantly spreading.

Lu Boyan had to try his best to control himself not to scare her. After tidying the dress for her, he felt that his throat was dried by the fever in his body. “Turn around.”

Su Jianan lowered her head slightly, turned back under his order, and did not know why Lu Boyan talked so little.

Lu Boyan pulled the zipper on her dress slowly, and the dress fitted her beautiful figure well, revealing her body curve in front of him, and his eyes were even more glowing.

She always kept her head down and he did not know if she was being shy. Her long eyelashes trembled like a butterfly flapping its wings. Her thin lips turned red and looked like the petals of blooming flowers when she compressed her lips. Lu Boyan struggled to look away and not to kiss her.

“Done.” Finally, he loosened his hands from the zipper and let out a sigh of relief.

Su Jianan looked at herself in the mirror and moved her arms. There was nothing wrong with the clothes, but… this dress was actually put on with Lu Boyan’s help.

When she thought of this, her cheeks were even more blushed, and she tried to secretly look up at Lu Boyan through the mirror, but when her eyes just met his, he turned and walked away while saying, “The makeup artist is in the dressing room, and you should get out quickly.”

He was in a hurry to leave, and his eyes looked strange. Su Jianan couldn’t help asking out of curiosity, “Where are you going?”

Lu Boyan said, “Go to take a shower.”

“He wants to take a shower again?” Su Jianan thought to herself. “He has already taken a shower in the morning, and now, he is going to take a shower again. He is a neat freak…”

She went to the dressing room next door to clean her face and wash the medicine off her wrist. Then, she sat in front of the mirror and let the makeup artist start to put makeup on her.

“Mrs. Lu, the makeup will still be light this time.” The makeup artist was the one who had also styled her the last two times. “It is more suitable for you, and it matches your dress today.”

Su Jianan smiled. “Okay.”

When she had her makeup done, Lu Boyan had also changed his clothes and got out of the room, holding a very delicate jewelry box in his hand.

But Su Jianan’s attention was all on his face.

Even delicate and handsome were far from enough to express the perfection of Lu Boyan. His beautiful dark eyes and eyebrows and chiseled features impressed her even more than the first time when she saw him.

He liked to wear dark, well-tailored suits with crisp fabrics, which made him look gentle when he was already handsome.

Even though this man was born to steal women’s hearts, Su Jianan still wanted to tease at his boring and stubborn character.

Nevertheless, there were still many women who coveted Lu Boyan, which could make him appear on the most covers of the financial and entertainment magazines right away.

When he walked into the room, the young makeup artist was stunned after seeing him. It took her a long while to realize that she needed to leave. Then, there were only Su Jianan and Lu Boyan in the small dressing room.

Su Jianan also took her eyes off Lu Boyan and pretended that she had not seen him at all just now.

Lu Boyan did not scoff her and just put the box on the dressing table and opened it. There was a subtle but dazzling light reflecting from the box.

Su Jianan didn’t love jewelry, but she was a woman, and she was completely attracted by the light at once. She looked at the whole set of diamond jewelry and was so surprised.

It was not because she realized that the jewelry was so valuable or because it was beautifully designed.

It was because she recognized the diamond.

This kind of diamond was rare, plus she had observed the picture of the diamond on the report carefully, so, she was so sure that the diamonds on the jewelry were cut from the one Lu Boyan bought four months ago.

After Lu Boyan bought the diamond, he had asked a luxury brand company to make it into a set of jewelry.

“You probably don’t know that before you got married, a diamond as superior as Cullinan was unearthed in South Africa and was bought by Boyan. As for why he bought it, you can go back and search the posts on the Internet. Then, you can consider whether you want me to correct myself.”

Su Jianan recalled what Han Ruoxi said to her a few days ago. Back when she heard her words, she went back and searched the news online at that time according to Han Ruoxi’s words. Everyone said that Lu Boyan bought this diamond in order to give it to Han Ruoxi, who loved jewelry as much as her life, and just wanted to make her happy.

At that time, she was hurt deeply, just as Han Ruoxi had wished.

But now— the facts didn’t seem to be as what she had thought.

Her eyes flickered, and she was shocked and puzzled. She could not believe it. “Lu Boyan…”

Lu Boyan took out a diamond ring from the box slowly and said, “Give me your hand.”

Su Jianan reached out her hand, and her tone was full of uncertainty. “Are you sure— this is for me?”

“This set of jewelry was designed according to your size, who else can it belong to?” Lu Boyan took her left hand and put the ring on her ring finger, which meant that she was married.

Her fingers were slender, and her skin was fine. The diamond was almost cut perfectly. The ring fitted her finger well and seemed to be even more dazzling at the moment. It was not in a low profile but also not too showy, just like her character.

Su Jianan observed the ring on her finger curiously and asked, “When did you customize this?”

Lu Boyan said, “When I promised to marry you.”

Su Jianan recalled carefully. Su Yicheng and Tang Yulan proposed to let them get married two months earlier than they got their marriage certificate. A month later, they agreed to get married, and this was when Lu Boyan bought the diamond.

At that time, because she and Jiang Shaokai were ordered to go to the City C to assist others in the investigation of a sudden murder case, she did not notice the news that Lu Boyan had spent a large amount of money to buy the diamond.

Otherwise, if she had noticed that it was so coincidental, she would not have believed Han Ruoxi’s words so easily the day before yesterday and been so sad almost overnight.

However, it was not too late to know the truth.

Seeing that Su Jianan seemed thoughtful, Lu Boyan took out the necklace from the box. “You don’t like it?”

“Of course, I do.” Su Jianan turned her back to Lu Boyan spontaneously. “Put it on for me.”

The button of the necklace was almost invisible. Lu Boyan helped her to buckle up it, then adjusted the necklace for her, and looked at the little woman in the mirror. The pendant of the necklace hung on the middle of her collarbone, which made her beautiful collarbone even more obvious to see. The delicate pendant was so dazzling that it seemed to have added some radiance to the quiet Su Jianan.

There were also earrings and bracelets in the box, but Su Jianan did not need to wear the bracelets at this time. Besides, she had no hole on her ears to wear the earrings, so, these two things had no use for her. Lu Boyan closed the box and suddenly realized something. He looked at Su Jianan and asked, “How do you know that it is customized?”

The smile on Su Jianan’s face was frozen for a second, and she answered, “Hmm, it’s time to go to the hotel now.”

Lu Boyan took her hands and asked, “You didn’t know when I bought this diamond. Who told you about it?”
