Chapter 1097 - Lu Boyan’s Trick

There was a reason why Su Jian’an was so determined.

When Yuechuan was still in his mother’s womb, fate had been deliberately making things difficult for his father.

He had just come into this world and hadn’t even had the time to feel his father’s love when he watched as his father left the world in his embrace.

After that, he was helplessly abandoned by his mother and sent to an orphanage.

Because he grew up in an orphanage, Shen Yuechuan had a different childhood compared with others.

Other kids had complete families and their childhood would be full of children’s entertainment, but he didn’t have any of those.

He only had a lot of friends who had been abandoned by their parents like him.

These were all debts owed by fate to Shen Yuechuan.

Su Jian’an thought that she didn’t need fate to make it up to Yuechuan in other aspects, as long as his illness was willing to let go of Yuechuan and let him live well.

As long as Yuechuan could survive, the debt that fate owed him could be written off.

“This deal is worth it. Fate won’t give up such a good opportunity, will it?

“Therefore, Yuechuan’s surgery will definitely succeed. He will definitely get better.”

At the end of the thought, Su Jian’an did not know if it was logical speculation or a blind self-comfort.

“Mm! Mm!”

Xiangyi, who was on the baby bed, seemed to have seen through her mother’s confusion. She kicked and babbled as if she was calling Su Jian’an.

Hearing her daughter’s voice, Su Jian’an came to her senses by conditioned reflex and touched the little girl’s face with a smile. “Are you calling me?”

“Mm! Mm!”

Xiangyi inherited her eyes from Su Jian’an and had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.

At this time, the little girl’s peach blossom eyes widened as she looked at Su Jian’an like a little angel. She was dancing with joy, which made people fall in love with her at first glance.

Inadvertently, there was a gentle smile on Su Jianan’s face.

She picked up her daughter, let the little girl lean in her arms, and pampered her softly.

While pampering her, Su Jian’an suddenly became lost in thought as she looked at Xiangyi.

When Lu Boyan pushed the door open and came in, he saw Su Jian’an lost in thought.

He walked over and took his daughter from Su Jian’an’s arms. He teased the little girl first and said, “Jian’an, what are you thinking about?”

Su Jian’an looked thoughtful. “I’m wondering if I should train Xiangyi from a young age.”

Lu Boyan did not expect Su Jian’an to think about this. He asked in confusion, “What are you going to train Xiangyi in?”

“It’s… something about relationships.” The more Su Jian’an spoke, the more serious her tone became. “I don’t want Xiangyi to meet too many difficulties in terms of relationships after she grows up.”

Lu Boyan showed a look of understanding and agreed, “Okay.”

“But…” Su Jian’an was a little hesitant. “If I deliberately cultivate her value of emotions, it might lead to her understanding of too many things too early. What if she starts dating someone at a very young age?”

Lu Boyan felt that Su Jianan’s concerns made sense in a certain way.

He pondered for a moment before he said, “Or maybe you should also cultivate Xiangyi’s spouse-selection idea?”

Su Jian’an thought it was feasible and nodded. “That sounds nice!”

At this time, Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an never thought that it was too early for them to think about those things.

Everything that happened in the future was beyond their expectations.

Xiangyi didn’t understand that her parents were worried about her. When she saw Lu Boyan’s mouth moving, she looked at him curiously. After quite a while, she realized that he was her father. She let out a cute cry of surprise and tried her best to get into his arms.

Lu Boyan looked at his daughter’s little face and felt that when she lay in his arms, she was just a small kid and needed his full attention.

As he thought of this, his heart was gradually filled with tenderness.

Lu Boyan suddenly felt a kind of satisfaction that he got from holding his daughter, which could not be expressed too clearly to outsiders.

However, he was indeed surrounded by his sense of satisfaction and happiness.

After such a long time, Lu Boyan slowly felt that this kind of happiness actually did not need to be shared with others.

Because everyone could experience this kind of happiness. If anyone couldn’t experience it now, it would just be a matter of time before they got it.

However, after what happened today, Lu Boyan suddenly realized that he had been too optimistic.

It was very likely that Yuechuan wouldn’t be able to experience this kind of happiness, and he wouldn’t even be able to survive.

Fate was really too unfair to Yuechuan.

Su Jian’an looked at Lu Boyan and touched his arm. “It’s my turn to ask you now – what are you thinking about?”

Lu Boyan came to his senses and did not tell the truth about his thoughts. He just said, “We don’t have to think too much about what will happen after Xiyu and Xiangyi grow up. In the future, we can let them choose the lifestyles they want.”

That was also what Su Jian’an thought.

She didn’t intend to force some of her ideas on her kids, and she didn’t want to arrange their future for them.

The two little kids had the right to grow up freely from the moment they were born.

She, on the other hand, was only responsible for taking care of them until they became grown-ups.

Lu Boyan thought so as well.

Su Jian’an’s peach blossom eyes were blinking. She looked at Lu Boyan with sparkling eyes and said, “I suddenly envy Xiyu and Xiangyi. They have such a good father like you!”

Lu Boyan said calmly, “In the future, Xiyu and Xiangyi will also envy you.”

“Hmm?” Su Jian’an was confused. “What will they envy me for?”

Lu Boyan said directly, “They will envy you for having such a good husband.”

Su Jian’an never expected that Lu Boyan would say that. She looked at him helplessly and said, “I’m trying to praise you. Can’t you do the same to me?”

“How could anyone praise themselves in such a manner?”

Lu Boyan smiled and kissed her lips. He comforted her and said, “I should thank you for allowing me to marry you. You’re a good wife.”

Although it was not a formal compliment, his words worked on Su Jian’an.

She looked at Lu Boyan with a slight smile before she tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek.

She did not think that she was good or perfect.

However, in Lu Boyan’s eyes, she was indeed the best in the world.

Every time Lu Boyan praised her, she would also think that she was the best in the world.

In fact, she might not be really good.

However, it was undeniable that she married a great man.

Xiangyi was sandwiched between her parents. It was the first time that she had witnessed a couple’s affection, so she protested. “Ah!” Her voice was as clear as a dolphin’s. It was difficult for Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an to ignore it.

Lu Boyan looked down at the little girl and kissed her. The little girl finally stopped messing around and leaned against her father’s arms obediently. From time to time, she hummed like a lazy little bear, looking very cute.

Su Jian’an touched the little girl’s face and said, “Sometimes, I hope that she can grow up as soon as possible. But most of the time, I hope that she can grow up slowly.”

When their little girl grew up, even though she had the protection of her and Lu Boyan, it was inevitable that she would have her own troubles.

However, there were many troubles in the world that Su Jian’an hoped her daughter could avoid and not go through.

Lu Boyan also looked at his daughter with boundless tenderness in his eyes. “Xiangyi can slowly grow up, but not her brother.”

Su Jian’an looked at Xiyu, who was sleeping soundly, and reminded Lu Boyan helplessly, “Mr. Lu, you are blatantly treating them differently!”

Lu Boyan did not feel that there was anything wrong with his words at all. He took it a matter of course and said, “Boys should grow up as soon as possible so that they can protect their wives.”

“Wives?

“Xiyu’s wife?”

“You…” Su Jian’an was so scared that she uttered, “Honey, are you thinking of Xiyu’s marriage so soon? He’s still too young for that, isn’t he?”

“If he meets the right person, he should get married early. There’s nothing bad about it.” Lu Boyan suddenly looked at Su Jian’an deeply and said, “Jian’an, I regret that I wasted so many years and let you be alone in those years.”

Su Jian’an didn’t say anything.

She was rendered speechless again and thought to herself, “Is this a sudden confession of love from Lu Boyan?”

Su Jian’an had not been in a state of confusion for a long time, but now she really couldn’t react and could only look at Lu Boyan blankly.

Lu Boyan smiled and guided her slowly, “If you feel moved, you can express it with practical actions.”

Su Jian’an thought for a moment and looked at Lu Boyan suspiciously. “Mr. Lu, is this your real purpose?”

Lu Boyan bent his fingers slightly and knocked hard on Su Jian’an’s forehead. When he knocked, he didn’t care if it would make Su Jian’an in pain or not.

Su Jian’an was in pain. She covered her forehead and could not help protesting. “Is it okay for you to abuse me in front of our kid like this?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Lu Boyan looked at Xiangyi and his tone was still doting. “Xiangyi is still young and doesn’t understand these things.”

In other words, he could do whatever he wanted.

Su Jian’an was speechless.

He was obviously bullying her when he said that, but as he said it in a doting tone, there was no sense of bullying at all but only a deep and fascinating love.

Su Jian’an looked at Lu Boyan carefully. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a serious face, “I am not worried that my daughter will fall in love at a very young age.”

“Why?” Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked quite curious. “Weren’t you worried just now?”

“I’m not worried when I think of the fact that you’re Xiangyi’s father.” Su Jian’an looked as if she was analyzing the facts. “I’ve heard that most of the girls would choose their boyfriends with their fathers’ standards. I think that even if more than 20 years have passed, no one will be able to compare with you.”

“Well, I’m definitely not praising Lu Boyan this time.

“What I mean is that his talent and ability to bully others has reached an unprecedented level.”

Of course, Lu Boyan did not know Su Jianan’s real meaning and just thought that she was really praising him.

He stroked Su Jian’an’s hair and said, “You are Xiangyi’s mother. You have such good taste in choosing your man, so Xiangyi must be good at it as well. Don’t worry.”
