Chapter 994 I’ll Greatly Dote on You
In the Lu Family’s villa, Xiyu took a shower, had a full glass of milk, and soon fell asleep.
Xiangyi was in high spirits and had been lying in Lu Boyan’s arms. As soon as Lu Boyan teased her, she would laugh, and her clear and crisp laughter filled the entire living room.
Su Jian’an remembered Lu Boyan’s schedule today. He still had a video meeting ten minutes later, so she didn’t think he would have time to accompany Xiangyi.
She walked over and was about to take Xiangyi away from Lu Boyan. Unexpectedly, as soon as she touched the little girl, the little girl pursed her lips and was about to cry. Lu Boyan had to continue holding her in his arms. She whined like a spoiled child and grabbed Lu Boyan’s clothes tightly with her small hands.
Su Jian’an was depressed and looked at Lu Boyan with a conflicted look. “What about your meeting?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Lu Boyan stroked his daughter’s tender face with a look of affection. “It’s just a video meeting. I can hold her in my arms.”
“…” Su Jian’an was stunned, and her delicate face was full of disbelief. “Are you… sure?”
Lu Boyan was a workaholic, and he never allowed his personal feelings to get involved in work.
But now, he could actually work with Xiangyi in his arms?
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “Is there any problem?”
Who would dare to question what Lu Boyan was going to do?
Su Jian’an shook her head and said weakly, “No…”
She was just afraid of scaring the other participants.
After all, when he was holding his daughter, Lu Boyan was like a completely different person from him at work.
Lu Boyan went to the study room on the second floor with Xiangyi in his arms. The video meeting had just begun, and Lu Boyan was caught holding something in his arms in the camera.
The other participants were all stunned when they saw this scene. They pointed to what was in Lu Boyan’s arms on the screen and asked in confusion, “Boss Lu, what… what is this?”
Lu Boyan looked down at the little girl in his arms and slightly raised the corners of his mouth. “My daughter.”
This time, what surprised everyone was not what was in Lu Boyan’s arms, but the smile on Lu Boyan’s face.
It should be noted that every decision of Lu Boyan on business was related to the future of Lu Enterprises. He had always been serious.
How adorable the little angel in his arms was to make Lu Boyan smile like that?
Lu Boyan did not care about other people’s surprised eyes. He looked at the time displayed on the lower right corner of the computer and said lightly, “I hope to finish the meeting quickly, for my daughter will be unhappy after staying in the same place for too long.”
Obviously, Lu Boyan’s daughter was his treasure. If they dared to make Lu Boyan’s treasure unhappy, Lu Boyan could make them regret being born.
So the others said, “OK.”
“No problem.”
Lu Boyan touched Xiangyi’s face and his voice was as gentle as water. “Be good and don’t make any noise. I’ll play with you after the meeting.”
Xiangyi clenched her small fists and replied with a “hmm”.
Of course, she was not agreeing to Lu Boyan’s request, but the little girl’s obedient and soft look still filled Lu Boyan’s heart with tenderness.
The meeting began soon. Unlike before, everyone, including Lu Boyan, would frequently divert their attention to the little girl in Lu Boyan’s arms.
The others were curious.
They were curious about what Lu Boyan looked like while holding his daughter, and even more curious about what Lu Boyan’s and Su Jian’an’s daughter looked like.
To their disappointment, Lu Boyan had always been paying attention to protecting the little girl. They could only see the back of the little girl, but she was very restless and moved from time to time, making soft and lovely sounds. The sounds melted their hearts, but they could not see the appearance of the little girl, which made them even more unable to wait to see what the girl looked like.
Compared with others, Lu Boyan obviously diverted attention to her daughter more frequently. He looked down at the little girl in his arms from time to time, and the sharpness in his eyes and around his eyebrows disappeared, replaced by a rare touch of softness.
However, this did not affect Lu Boyan’s judgment. His speech at the meeting was still clear and reasonable, and his decisions were still rational and correct.
Xiangyi was active, so not long after Lu Boyan held her in the same posture in his arms, she began to protest. She struggled in Lu Boyan’s arms and hummed from time to time. Her voice sounded extremely aggrieved.
Lu Boyan patted the little girl on the shoulder and coaxed her softly, “Good girl, give Papa another 15 minutes.”
Xiangyi blinked her eyes and stopped acting willfully. She quieted down and obediently leaned against her father’s chest.
Lu Boyan looked at the camera and continued the meeting while comforting his daughter.
For the first time, Xiangyi had heard her father talk so much. She opened her eyes curiously and stared at Lu Boyan.
In less than five minutes, the little girl was sleepy. She yawned, rubbed herself against Lu Boyan’s chest, and closed her eyes lazily like a little bear.
Upon noticing that the little girl quieted down, Lu Boyan looked down. Sure enough, she was asleep.
He smiled and wrapped the cashmere blanket around the little girl to prevent her from catching a cold.
Fifteen minutes later, the video meeting ended. Lu Boyan returned to the children’s room with Xiangyi in his arms and carefully settled the little girl down. When he was about to leave, the little girl suddenly opened her eyes and saw that Lu Boyan was about to leave. She hummed with grievance, with tears in her black and bright eyes.
Lu Boyan touched Xiangyi’s little face and coaxed her, but the little girl still did not intend to stop crying.
He had no choice but to carry Xiangyi back to his room.
While drying her hair, Su Jian’an came out of the bathroom. She happened to see Lu Boyan coming back with Xiangyi in his arms. She was confused and asked, “Hasn’t Xiangyi fallen asleep yet?”
“She just slept for a while.” Lu Boyan looked at his daughter, and his tone sounded somewhat helpless and greatly doting. “She woke up as soon as I put her on the baby bed.”
In a trance, Su Jian’an realized that Xiangyi would be stick to Lu Boyan tonight.
She looked at Lu Boyan with a conflicted look. “Is it good for you to dote on Xiangyi so much?”
She had asked Lu Boyan this question more than once, but it seemed that Lu Boyan really did not intend to be strict with Xiangyi.
“What’s wrong with that?” Lu Boyan seemed to take it for granted. “If we give the best to her now, when she grows up, she will not be easily attracted by ordinary men. You’re the example.”
Su Jian’an was confused. She pointed at herself and asked, “Me?”
“Yes.” Lu Boyan analyzed seriously. “You knew me when you were ten years old, so you didn’t like any other men who later appeared in your life.”
The implication was that if Xiangyi was doted on by him since she was a child, when she grew up, she would not be easily attracted by men with ordinary means.
Men should greatly spoil all the ladies in his house!
“…” Su Jian’an was speechless.
Lu Boyan put his daughter on the bed and kissed her face lovingly. “Dad is going to take a shower. You wait for Dad to come out.”
Xiangyi replied loudly with a “hmm” and raised the corners of her small mouth. When she smiled, she looked like an angel.
Lu Boyan’s heart softened and he went to take a shower with satisfaction.
Because of Xiangyi, Lu Boyan took the shower much faster. When he came out, Su Jian’an was accompanying the little girl.
The little girl was still very energetic and asked Su Jian’an to amuse her. As soon as Su Jian’an stopped, she would cry in protest.
Seeing Lu Boyan come out, Su Jian’an suddenly wore a bitter look. “It’s all your fault!”
At the beginning of Xiangyi’s crying, if Lu Boyan had coaxed her to sleep instead of carrying her back to the room, she would have fallen asleep a long time ago.
But now, she needed to try her best to amuse this little girl.
Lu Boyan looked at his energetic daughter with a soft smile on his lips. “You go to sleep first. I’ll accompany her.”
“Well, OK!”
Su Jian’an decisively left her daughter to Lu Boyan, turned over and closed her eyes.
Lu Boyan lay down on the other side of the bed and made Xiangyi lie between Su Jian’an and him. The little girl looked left at her father and right at her mother, and she laughed happily. Her clean and happy voice was very much like the sound of the best musical instruments.
Perhaps because she found it novel, Xiangyi kept looking left and right, and her laughter became louder and louder.
Lu Boyan looked at the little girl helplessly. “Shh-” he whispered, “Mom is sleepy. Let’s be quiet, okay?”
“Hmmm…” Xiangyi put her fist in her mouth and looked at Lu Boyan innocently, as if she understood.
Xiyu liked to eat fingers, while Xiangyi liked to eat her fists.
Unfortunately, neither of them was a good habit, so Lu Boyan did not want them to develop them.
Lu Boyan removed Xiangyi’s hand while talking to her at the same time. The little girl did not protest. She looked at Lu Boyan obediently, looking particularly adorable.
“Good girl.” Lu Boyan stroked his daughter’s face and continued to coax her. “Mom is asleep. Let’s go to sleep too.”
In fact, Su Jian’an was not asleep yet. She opened her eyes and saw Lu Boyan holding Xiangyi in his arms, who obediently closed her eyes.
A burst of warmth spread throughout Su Jian’an’s heart, and she felt as if she had lost her pursuit in an instant.
Fame, fortune, money, and power were all unnecessary. It was enough as long as the two babies and Lu Boyan were fine and she could fall asleep like this every night.
Compared with Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an who were in peace, Mu Sijue was destined to be restless this night.
At about three o’clock in the morning, Mu Sijue finished his arrangement and returned to the apartment downtown.
The moment he opened the door and walked into the apartment, Mu Sijue fell into the darkness and did not dare to move.
Some memories turned into a tide in the dark night, rushing toward him and becoming clear pictures in front of him.
He saw Xu Youning, who was young and fearless, sitting on the hospital bed with her legs in the plaster and bandages on her head and saying that she liked him in a very serious manner.
Then, he saw Su Jian’an holding an empty bottle of Mifepristone and Misoprostol.
At that time, there was obvious sadness hidden in Xu Youning’s eyes. Why did he ignore it totally and only remember that Xu Youning had killed his child?
Mu Sijue grabbed the doorknob tighter and tighter, and it was almost deformed.
However, this could not reverse the facts.
Regret was the most useless emotion in the world. He could only find ways to remedy everything.
