In the garden.
The closer Xiao Yunyun walked towards Shen Yuechuan, the more strained his smile looked.
Before Xiao Yunyun interrogation, he raised his hands to show his surrender and said, “May I explain to you in five minutes what happened that day?”
Seeing his courtesy, Xiao Yunyun thought it might not be appropriate to bawl at him, so she just waved her hand and said, “Please yourself.”
“Although I chose to tie you up that day, I’m not a violent man, but…”
Before Shen Yuechuan could finish his words, Xiao Yunyun said with disdain, “Because you’re a mad man!”
Shen Yuechuan twitched his lips with anger, staring at Xiao Yunyun, and said firmly, “Because you wouldn’t tell the truth if I didn’t do that.”
Xiao Yunyun pretended to be satisfied with his answer, but asked with a cold smile, “Do you mean that… I deserved it?”
“…”
Shen Yuechuan had heard that she had a weird comprehension, which he finally witnessed at that moment.
He sat on the bench, looking rather relaxed, and said indifferently, “Clever lady, you got it.”
Xiao Yunyun did not expect him to be that blunt. She approached him, and asked, “Why don’t you apologize?”
Shen Yuechuan smiled and said, “Will you accept my apology?”
“Never! A ‘I’m sorry’ is nothing.” Xiao Yunyun made a threatening look and said, “You shall pay for what you have done. Take care of me while walking at night!”
With that, Xiao Yunyun strode into the house, as if she had returned after a victory in war.
Shen Yuechuan looked at her slim back, thinking of the threatening look she tried to make just then, and shook his head.
“What a young lady. Why did she think she could scare me that way?” He thought.
“I’ve never been afraid of anything, even if I were threatened with a gun against my head by a dreaded serial killer wanted by the Interpol!”
Meanwhile, Xiao Yunyun was in the living room, but she did not find Su Jianan or Lu Boyan, who had gone back into the house earlier than her.
Aunt Liu said they had not returned yet, and told her that they could be in the back hall.
Xiao Yunyun then walked to the back hall and saw Su Jianan and Lu Boyan in the kitchen.
Su Jianan pointed at a dressed chicken, saying, “I want to have tea-smoked chicken!”
Lu Boyan took her hand and was about to go out, saying, “The cook will make the dish for you.”
Su Jianan wanted to cook herself, which Lu Boyan knew. However, it was plain that he would not agree on that. She just pursed her lips and left the kitchen reluctantly.
Xiao Yunyun looked at them with curiosity, asking, “Have you been in the kitchen since you were back?” She thought, “Why are they fond of staying in a kitchen?”
Su Jianan thought of Lu Boyan’s kiss just then, feeling rather embarrassed, and coughed. “Yunyun, what would you like for lunch? Just tell the cook.”
Xiao Yunyun ignored her doubts at once, happily walking towards the fridge to pick something she would like.
Then Aunt Liu went to them and said, “Young Master, Young Madam, you’ve got some visitors.”
Su Jianan held Lu Boyan’s arm, walked into the living room, and saw three Europeans.
She knew the two girls in the group, who were wedding dress designer Jesse David’s assistants.
And she guessed that the young man who looked like an artist should exactly be Jesse David, a mysterious person.
The mysterious young man, popular with all the brides around the world, looked rather graceful. Even Luo Xiaoxi, who was always fussy about clothes, used to tell her that: A perfect wedding must include a dress designed by Jesse David.
“Mr. Lu.” Jesse walked to Lu Boyan and shook hands with him; he then turned to Su Jianan, stood straight to show his respect, held Su Jianan’s hand with both hands, kissed her fingers, and said, “Mrs. Lu, you look even more breathtaking than in your photos.” In his eyes, she was indeed an oriental beauty.
Su Jianan smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Jesse took a huge delicate gift box from his assistants, handed it to Lu Boyan and said, “It’s the wedding dress designed for Mrs. Lu. I’m sure she will be the most remarkable bride in the world on your wedding day.”
“Thank you.” Lu Boyan took the box.
Then, Jesse’s assistants walked to Su Jianan and said, “Mrs. Lu, you may try the wedding dress on. If it doesn’t suit you well, we’ll take it to our workshop and make adjustments.”
Su Jianan subconsciously looked at Lu Boyan; he took her hand and said, “Let’s go upstairs.”
In the bedroom, Su Jianan showed how surprised she was; she turned around and stared at Lu Boyan, saying, “Did you already know that the wedding dress would be sent here today?”
She had been looking forward to it since Lu Boyan proposed a new wedding. After all, she used to think it unreachable that she would wear a wedding dress and marry him.
She thought that Lu Boyan stopped preparing for the wedding when she was forced to divorce him. Since then, she had not talked with him about that; to her surprise, everything had been arranged well.
“I knew it one day earlier than you.” Lu Boyan took the wedding dress from the box and said, “Put it on, see if you like it.”
“It’s too long…” Su Jianan helplessly said, “I wonder if I can…”
“I’ll assist you.” Lu Boyan took Su Jianan into the dressing room.
The dressing room was smaller than the bedroom by half, which made Su Jianan kind of embarrassed. Before taking off her clothes, she blushed, drawing the hem of her coat, and said, “I’d rather you ask Yunyun here to help me…”
The latest skin-to-skin contact she had with Lu Boyan was just kissing; she could not imagine what would happen if she asked him to help her change clothes…
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrow and said, “You can only wear a wedding dress for me. And, I’ll be the first one to see you in it.”
Su Jianan’s face became redder. “But…”
Before she could finish her words, he took off her coat; she had to cooperate.
Gradually, silence filled the dressing room; his breathing drowned out the rubbing sounds of the dress.
After that, Su Jianan noticed her completely red face in the mirror; Lu Boyan stood behind her, staring at her with deep love while something was shining in his eyes.
Feeling his warm palm, she coughed in embarrassment, feigning easiness, turned to him and said, “How do I look?”
Lu Boyan held her waist, which was no longer slim, looked down at her, saying, “You look perfect.”
He lowered his voice; Su Jianan clearly realized that and was about to show the dress to the designer. All of a sudden, he kissed her.
The kiss was gentle and hot, like a torch burning more and more furiously. To begin with, Su Jianan could do nothing but to be immersed in his affectionate vortex.
Luckily, Lu Boyan was still reasonable, and he released Su Jianan before he couldn’t control himself.
Her red face seemed about to bleed; she was dazzled, unable to look right into his eyes.
Lu Boyan held her, lowered his head against her forehead, saying, “I want a wedding right now.”
Su Jianan burst into a laugh and said, “You’re kidding me. But… when is our wedding?”
“In May this year,” said Lu Boyan.
“No,” Su Jianan said, “At that time, I’ll be much fatter than I’m now; my belly is going to be like a big ball, so it will be impossible for me to put the wedding dress on. Even if it can be altered, I won’t look perfect then!”
The only thing she wanted for their wedding day was that she would be at her best.
Lu Boyan thought for a while and asked, “How about bringing it forward to next month?”
“No…” Su Jianan said, “You know, the public thinks we’ve gotten divorced; it will surprise the media a lot if we hold the wedding so soon. And, you can’t spare any time for it since you have to investigate the cause of the Fanting Garden accident, as well as deal with Kang Ruicheng.”
Lu Boyan had the same idea as Su Jianan, so he asked her, “When do you think it will be proper?”
“After the babies are born,” Su Jianan smiled and said, “Then you will probably be free.”
It would take Su Jianan several months to recover after the babies’ birth, which meant that Lu Boyan had to wait for at least a year.
He frowned, showing an extremely unwilling look.
Su Jianan pointed at her belly and said, “You must wait because of them. It’s not my fault…”
“…” Lu Boyan felt depressed, thinking: Indeed, it’s his fault.
Su Jianan had not seen him look like that; she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him to comfort him. “That’s OK. I won’t leave you. Let’s go downstairs.”
Everyone was there then. With a voice saying “she’s coming”, all the people in the living room looked up and became quiet at once.
Xiao Yunyun had heard that: She’s so gorgeous that I nearly forget to breathe.
She used to think it was exaggerated; but at that moment, she realized it was true.
There was a beauty that could make others forget to breathe.
And it was exactly Su Jianan who was in a wedding dress.
The well-cut handmade wedding dress was elegant and youthful with a super texture; it fitted Su Jianan well and outlined her perfect figure, which made her face more delicate as well as bewitching.
She went downstairs step by step, just like a fairy maiden walking out of a wonderland. They could not take their eyes off her, nor could they breathe for fear that they would disturb such a beauty.
Jesse rubbed his chin and said with amazement, “She looks gorgeous in the wedding dress. I’m willing to spend three years making it, let alone three months.”
After Su Jianan went downstairs, Jesse asked her to make a few movements so that he could see if the wedding dress was the right size.
In the end, Jesse nodded and said, “I’ll design the other dresses as soon as possible.”
After asking Su Jianan for her opinions, Jesse left with his assistants. Xiao Yunyun could not hold back her excitement, saying, “When’s your wedding? I wish the whole world could see you in this wedding dress!”
Su Jianan helplessly pointed at her belly, saying, “Let’s talk about it next year. Now, I want to change my dress.”
The long bridal gown made it hard for Su Jianan to go upstairs, so Lu Boyan took her in his arms.
Xiao Yunyun looked at them with envy, and suddenly turned to Shen Yuechuan, saying, “Was that designer the legendary Jesse David?”
Shen Yuechuan: “Uh-huh.”
Xiao Yunyun was amazed and said, “Lu Boyan is so awesome…”
Jesse David, whom even a vogue veteran like Han Ruoxi could hardly meet, not only designed and made the wedding gown himself for Su Jianan, but also took it from abroad to her.
Xiao Yunyun thought, “I must tell this to the reporters one day and make a whirlwind of media coverage.”
She just wanted to piss Han Ruoxi off.
