Chapter 316 Pregnant…? (2)
Su Jianan felt like she did not deserve that.
As if she were standing at the coast, watching the scenery, to suddenly be swept away by the raging waves, drowning in them. She could not even protest, let alone push Lu Boyan away.
She set her heart on stopping that, and angrily bit on Lu Boyan’s lips.
Lu Boyan was stunned. Perhaps her actions were out of his expectation.
Su Jianan was about to escape with that chance, but Lu Boyan had gone a step ahead of her, realizing her intention. He locked her waist with his arms, and kissed her even more intensely.
Lu Boyan grew more forceful with both his lips and arms.
Ever since Su Jianan had initiated a divorce, he had been penting up rage. Su Jianan’s actions those few days had worsened it. First it was openly riding on Jiang Shaokai’s car from the police station, then it was to appear at the party hand in hand with him.
They were still married. What did Su Jianan take him, her lawfully wedded husband, as?
If that were not a cocktail party hosted by someone else, and with so many other unrelated people around, he would have thrown Jiang Shaokai down from the seventh floor!
After a round of mindless and indulgent ravaging, the darkness and danger in Lu Boyan’s eyes had diminished substantially.
“Jianan,” He released Su Jianan, staring at her intensely. “Look carefully, who you belong to.”
Su Jianan cheeks were flushed red, and was still panting heavily. Her eyes were filled with indignance and rage.
Only after a while later, she could finally speak, and shoved Lu Boyan forcefully, “You bast…”
Before she could complete her sentence, she suddenly felt nauseous, and the words got stuck in her throat.
Su Jianan’s face paled, and pushed Lu Boyan away, then rushed off to the washroom.
Liquid filled her mouth, and her stomach cramped. All the food she had in the afternoon had been vomited.
Su Jianan was shocked—why did that suddenly happen? She was very sure she was not feeling sick?
All of a sudden, Su Yicheng’s words surfaced in her mind, “What’s with you lately? You’ve been complaining about the smell of milk and fish soup. When did you become so picky?”
Accompanied with her inexplicable uneasiness in the morning, it was because her period was late.
She… seemed to be…
No way, no way it could be that coincidental. It should not be that way!
“Jianan… Jianan?”
Lu Boyan called out for a few times, Su Jianan did not respond.
He held Su Jianan’s hand and said, “Let me take you to the hospital.”
“No!” Su Jianan slapped away Lu Boyan’s hand and glared at him defensively. “Why should I go to the hospital?”
“You’re not feeling well?” Lu Boyan was partially commanding and partially pleading. He reached his hand out to Su Jianan. “Be good, follow me.”
Su Jianan shook her head, and retreated subconsciously, “I’m not uncomfortable. I’m not going.”
She could not go, either.
If it were that she was pregnant as she predicted, it would definitely be confirmed at the hospital.
The following sequence of events were imaginable to her. Lu Boyan would take her home, Su Yicheng would tell Lu Boyan about her secret, and by then, to make Lu Boyan sign the divorce papers would be impossible.
Su Jianan calmed herself down, and looked at Lu Boyan as she said, “I’ve merely had some food I haven’t had in a long time, and wasn’t adjusted to it. I’m fine after puking.”
Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with the guilt of lying. Lu Boyan squinted at her, and her facial expression looked increasingly natural, regaining a healthy glow. Indeed, it did not look like she was unwell.
Because of her mother passing away at the hospital, she had never liked hospitals, so Lu Boyan did not think much of it and ordered someone to send in a bottle of mouthwash.
Su Jianan received the mouthwash, and was going to shut the washroom’s door.
Lu Boyan was quick to stop her, and he stared intensely at Su Jianan. Su Jianan explained innocently, “I… only need to use the toilet.”
Only then did Lu Boyan withdraw his hand. He said, “I’ll wait for you outside.”
Su Jianan simply acknowledged quietly, then sat on the toilet, with her face buried in her hands. Her heart was in a mess.
She vaguely heard Lu Boyan making a call outside, but she could not hear whatever he was saying because she had been thinking about how to deceive him.
After sitting for a while, she was still clueless. However, in order to not make things suspicious, Su Jianan could only leave the seat. She flushed and went out.
Lu Boyan had just finished the call, and looked at her. “Are you better?”
“…I’m okay,” Su Jianan was suddenly flustered, and lowered her head awkwardly. “I’m leaving.”
She was going to leave when her wrist was tightly grabbed. She could no longer move forward.
Lu Boyan said coldly from behind her, “Who are you going to look for?”
“It’s not like you didn’t see who I came with,” Su Jianan said as she turned back, then calmly asked, “Oh right, why aren’t you with Han Ruoxi?”
Lu Boyan sneered coldly, “Would you be happy if I were here with Han Ruoxi?”
Su Jianan shrugged and said, “I don’t care.”
She knew, only that type of indifference would hurt Lu Boyan.
As expected, his face turned sullen, then pushed Su Jianan on the sofa.
Even though the sofa was soft, the impact of the fall was still hard. Su Jianan subconsciously shielded her abdomen in a panic, and at the same moment, Lu Boyan went and pressed down on her.
Su Jianan’s expression changed instantly. She pushed him away, panicking, “Lu Boyan, no!”
Lu Boyan locked both of her hands, and asked forcefully, “Then who do you want? Hm?”
His eyes were a beautiful dark shade, but at that moment, they were dark like a solid, jet black ink. Su Jianan shielded her abdomen, and could no longer care about his feelings, she articulated,
“Lu Boyan, if you were to touch me today, I’ll tell the journalists tomorrow that we’ve already signed the papers! I will even tell them about you and Han Ruoxi. You’re the one who made her popular, and she has never had any negative news. I’m sure you don’t wish for her to have any scandals at this moment?”
“You dare threaten me with Han Ruoxi?” Lu Boyan sneered. “Then who are you most worried about right now? Jiang Shaokai?”
“Lu Boyan!” Su Jianan yelled, and went all out to interrupt Lu Boyan. “If you dare touch Shaokai, I will immediately file for divorce!”
“…” She dared to defend Jiang Shaokai like that before him, and even called Jiang Shaokai so intimately.
Lu Boyan slowly released Su Jianan’s hands. The smile on his face grew increasingly cold.
He stood up, then left the lounge without looking back once.
Su Jianan could no longer care about Lu Boyan. She stood up and adjusted her gown, then went out to look for Su Yicheng, flusteredly asking to return home.
“What happened?” Su Yicheng observed that she did not look right. “What did Boyan say to you?”
Su Jianan shook her head, and pleaded, “Brother, take me home.”
Su Yicheng bade farewell to the party’s host, then left the hotel with Su Jianan.
Only until they got in the car, Su Jianan remembered Jiang Shaokai. Just when she was about to call him, Su Yicheng stopped her, saying, “No need. Shaokai said just a moment ago that something had cropped up at home, so he already left.”
Su Jianan was puzzled. “Wasn’t he here today because of his family, so why…?”
“Haven’t you realized?” Su Yicheng shook his head as he smiled and said, “Boyan’s doing.”
Su Jianan suddenly recalled that when she was in the washroom, Lu Boyan was making a call outside. She had vaguely heard him saying “Mr. Jiang” or something. It turned out that he was calling Jiang Shaokai’s father.
She was left speechless. If it were in the past, Lu Boyan would never resort to such means.
“What happened to you two inside the lounge?” Su Yicheng said. “Do you know that everyone was standing outside, anticipating a good show?”
Su Jianan fiddled with her hands nervously, “Brother, I think… I might be… pregnant.”
Su Yicheng was very glad that Su Jianan had finally noticed, and asked, “What do you plan to do? I will definitely not let you do this anymore. If Boyan knew, he would definitely take you home. I won’t be able to stop him.”
“So, he can’t know,” Su Jianan looked like she was begging Su Yicheng. “Brother, I must divorce him, so you must definitely keep this a secret. If he knew about this, we can’t get divorced.”
Su Yicheng nodded. “I will try my best.”
He only feared that, Lu Boyan might have noticed something was off. It would be hard even if he wanted to keep it a secret.
Passing by the pharmacy, Su Jianan got Su Yicheng to stop the car. Su Yicheng knew what she was going to buy, so he got her to stay in the car. He was going to buy it for her instead.
There was a crowd at the pharmacy at that timing, so it took Su Yicheng a while before returning. He handed the things to Su Jianan.
Su Jianan squeezed the little box. She felt uneasy yet happy.
Even if that child had come at the wrong time, but… it was hers and Lu Boyan’s child.
If all that had not happened, she would pick the most unexpected moment to tell Lu Boyan. He would definitely be sent to cloud nine.
But currently, she could only hide it from Lu Boyan, and chase him away with the most callous words.
She wondered where he went after leaving the lounge.
Lu Boyan had attended the cocktail party in order to help stabilize the situation of Lu Enterprises. Even if he had been completely enraged by Su Jianan, he could not leave, so he could only send Shen Yuechuan to watch after Su Jianan.
But not too long later, Shen Yuechuan returned, and whispered to him, “Jianan and Yicheng have left.”
Lu Boyan frowned. “They left?”
“I watched them leave,” Shen Yuechuan was very certain, but his voice slowly turned hesitant. “However…”
“Say it!” Lu Boyan commanded coldly.
“I think something is off with Jianan,” Shen Yuechuan said. “She was very nervous when she left, and had almost pulled Su Yicheng away as if she were escaping. If you did not do anything to her in the lounge, then did you discover anything odd?”
Odd?
Lu Boyan put down his wine glass, facing the window, where he could see City A’s dazzling night view.
Su Jianan’s sudden vomiting. The image of her falling onto the sofa and her actions surfaced on his mind.
People would usually try to place their hands on the ground when they fall, as an attempt to minimize the impact on their bodies.
But Su Jianan had instinctively shielded her abdomen.
He had yet to go near her, but she had already reacted so dramatically. She even went all out to threaten him in order to prevent him from touching her. As if by touching her lightly, it would cause an irreversible damage.
Lu Boyan had made the connection of a possibility.
He suppressed the joy of his heart. He recalled carefully, thinking about the days in Paris with Su Jianan; it was most probably during the right time of Su Jianan’s menstrual cycle. Yet they were still…
Su Jianan was pregnant!
Lu Boyan turned and went outside. He rushed out without a care, Shen Yuechuan chased after him to the elevator landing, and stopped him. He asked, “What are you thinking of doing? Jianan insists on divorcing you now, you must keep calm no matter what you thought of!”
Lu Boyan was enlightened by Shen Yuechuan, and nodded. “Right, she wants a divorce now, so she will not admit to it. If I forced her, what would she do?”
Shen Yuechuan was lost, “…What are you talking about?”
Lu Boyan showed no signs of wanting to explain, and said, “I’ll be at the downtown condominium tonight. Come pick me up earlier tomorrow morning, I’m going to look for Jianan.”
A helpless Shen Yuechuan: “…Oh.”
