After Shen Yuechuan and Mu Sijue left, Lu Boyan was the only one left in the huge office.

There were piles of documents on his desk, but he stood in front of the window, holding a half-burned cigarette between his fingers, and thin ash fell on the floor at his feet.

He smoked heavily for a while, and during that time, he accidentally discovered that Su Yicheng was quitting smoking. When he saw him, he first asked him for a cigarette with a look of pain on his face.

"Where's your cigarette?" he asked Su Yicheng.

"It's not my sister, she's the one who followed you and called you 'Brother Boyan' when you were little." Su Yicheng sighed, but the smile on his lips was filled with happiness, "You keep saying in my ears all day that smoking is bad for your health." Well, they forced me to quit smoking and confiscated all my cigarettes and lighters."

He threw all his cigarettes and lighter to Su Yicheng: "I give them all to you."

He was obviously not the one who was forced to quit smoking, but he somehow endured the pain and quit smoking abruptly. From then on, he rarely smoked again. Even at such moments, he mostly just lit the cigarette and let it burn to ashes.

Shen Yuechuan teased him for not letting Su Jianan know anything. Yes, once something related to Su Jianan, he would be so cautious and hesitant, turning into a completely stranger to himself.

He once decided to bring Su Jianan into his world and give him the final choice.

But Su Jianan is so simple. If she knew everything, she would definitely choose to divorce him without hesitation and go be with the person she really likes.

Habits are terrible things. They had only been married for half a year, and he already refused to imagine life without her after the divorce.

Reason told him that starting from today, he would slowly return to the past, to the days without her.

When he was about to get off work, Su Jianan called: "Lu Boyan, I have to work overtime today. I won't be back until around eleven o'clock. What about you?"

"...I won't go back tonight." Lu Boyan closed his eyes, "Uncle Qian will pick you up."

As if knowing that Lu Boyan was about to hang up, Su Jianan called out: "Wait a minute!" After a pause, she asked, "Why don't you go home?"

Lu Boyan refused to imagine what Su Jianan was like now. He froze his heart and his voice became cold and hard: "I have official business."

Su Jianan was stunned by his voice. After a moment, she remembered "Oh" and said, "Then you get busy."

During the test, Su Jianan was obviously absent-minded. Sometimes Jiang Shaokai called her several times, but she didn't respond.

She didn't know if she was being sensitive or suspicious, but Lu Boyan was so cold just now.

That kind of coldness gave her the illusion that the sweetness, hugs, kisses and laughter after marriage had never happened and were just a dream of hers. In fact, her and Lu Boyan's subsequent life had always been like the first day of marriage. Again, they cared nothing for each other, as if she was just a stranger who happened to live with him under the same roof, and he knew that she would leave soon.

But he had just kissed her like that at noon, saying that he remembered that the tie was a gift from her.

"Jian An, what are you thinking about? The time is up." Jiang Shaokai turned off the instrument, "Are you okay?"

Su Jianan came back to her senses, shook her head, and focused on her work.

Don't think too much, she said to herself, maybe Lu Boyan is really just busy?

But a woman's sixth sense was at work, and Su Jian'an still felt very uneasy. She finished work after nine o'clock, and after hesitating for a long time, she called Lu Boyan.

The ringing lasted for more than forty seconds. Just when Su Jianan thought Lu Boyan wouldn't answer the phone, his voice came from the receiver: "What's wrong?"

"I'm off work." Su Jianan picked at the table and mustered up the courage to say, "I... I don't want to go back. Can I go to the company to find you?"

"..." After a long silence, Lu Boyan's voice finally sounded again: "Jian An, your coming to the company will disturb me. Be obedient and go home to sleep."

Su Jianan felt disappointed: "...Okay."

"I asked Uncle Qian to pick you up at ten o'clock. He should be here soon." Lu Boyan said, "Go and have a look at the entrance of the police station."

Su Jianan picked up her bag and walked to the door. She happened to see Uncle Qian's car stop. She pursed her lips and said, "Uncle Qian is here."

"Then you go home and go to bed early." Lu Boyan said, "That's it."

Before Su Jianan could say anything, Lu Boyan hung up the phone.

Su Jianan looked at her phone blankly, and finally determined that something was wrong with Lu Boyan.

Did something happen to him at work?

Just wait until tomorrow to ask him.

"Young Madam." Uncle Qian came down and opened the car door for Su Jianan, "Get in the car, I'll take you back."

The dark black car was speeding on the road. It was already late at this time, and there were only a few pedestrians on the bustling street. The bright lights were made redundant and empty, and Su Jianan felt even more lonely.

Uncle Qian saw Su Jianan's unusual silence and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to pick you up from get off work. I thought you had already been contracted by the young master after get off work."

Su Jianan reluctantly raised her lips: "He has something to do today and won't go home."

"Actually, before you got married, he often didn't even bother to go to the apartment. He worked overtime until early in the morning and would sleep directly in the lounge, and then got up and continued working the next day." Uncle Qian said, "But after you got married, he went home more frequently. Even if I work overtime, I won’t sleep in the rest room. I guess I was really busy this time, so I stayed at the company overnight again.”

"That's it." Su Jianan propped her chin. Maybe she really thought too much. Lu Boyan must be very tired from being busy. She still called to pester him... Hey, I won't do this again next time.

Uncle Qian's words made Su Jianan temporarily feel at ease. After returning home, she took a bath and went to bed early.

At this time, Uncle Qian dialed Lu Boyan's phone number in the living room downstairs: "The young lady is asleep."

Lu Boyan said "hmm": "Is there anything abnormal about her?"

"She didn't look happy when we got in the car." Uncle Qian smiled, "I guess she wasn't used to me picking her up from get off work. Later I told her that you used to stay overnight at the company, and she looked like It’s the same as usual. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go and rest first.”

Lu Boyan hung up the phone and suddenly couldn't stand the documents in front of him. He stood up to make coffee and when he was about to put ice cubes in, he retracted his hand.

Su Jianan said that he had a bad stomach and was not allowed to drink iced coffee. The order was given to his secretary. After that, he never drank iced coffee again. When she usually makes the soup for dinner, the chef will also tell him that the soup his wife made today is good for the stomach.

Although Su Jianan never said it, he could vaguely feel that she cared about him. He had felt it since that time when he was hospitalized for a stomach attack and she was frightened to tears.

But this kind of concern should be no different from her concern for Su Yicheng.

After drinking coffee, he finished his work at around two o'clock in the morning. He went to sleep as usual, but suddenly he felt uncomfortable.

After marrying Su Jian'an, the villa in the suburbs seemed to have truly become a complete home, and "going home to sleep" became as natural as having three meals a day.

Because he has Su Jianan, his wife, at home, home is where he rests after work. When he wakes up, he can see Su Jianan's smiling face.

But before he married Su Jianan, in order to save time, he often made do in the lounge, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Therefore, all his habits will collapse when he encounters Su Jianan.

Finally fell asleep, but woke up very early the next day. He looked at the time and saw it was just after six o'clock.

If you go home, you should be able to have breakfast with Su Jianan.

Reason told him that he shouldn't go back since he had already started doing this, but he still picked up the car keys and left the office.

When he met Su Jian'an, not only his habits but also his sanity collapsed.

villa.

After the alarm clock rang twice, Su Jianan finally got up from the bed with messy hair. After washing, she happily left the room, but suddenly remembered that Lu Boyan did not go home today.

She was the only one eating breakfast.

She sighed, lowered her head listlessly and walked downstairs slowly, but she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Looking up, Lu Boyan was standing at the foot of the stairs looking at her.

"You're back!" She suddenly ran downstairs like a filled balloon, and stopped in front of Lu Boyan in surprise, "Didn't you say you couldn't come back?"

"I said I wouldn't come back yesterday."

In fact, Lu Boyan didn't know why he came back, just to have breakfast with her. Just like when I was so busy that my stomach trouble recurred, I came back early in the morning just to take a look at her.

He was even more dissatisfied with his actions and found an excuse to leave: "I'll go up and change clothes."

"But haven't you changed your clothes?" Su Jianan looked at him doubtfully, "This is not what you wore yesterday."

Lu Boyan frowned: "I don't like this."

After saying that, he went upstairs without looking back. Su Jianan curled her lips and said, "Picky."

But she was still happy that he was back.

The kitchen had already prepared breakfast. When Lu Boyan came back, Aunt Liu added another portion and set out the knives and forks. Lu Boyan happened to come down from upstairs.

Su Jianan thought he would change into a nice-looking suit, but... what he was wearing was clearly the same suit he wore back.

Perhaps sensing her puzzled gaze, Lu Boyan looked over when he sat down and said calmly: "When I got back to the room, I suddenly realized that this set is not bad."

"It's fickle." Su Jian'an popped the sun egg, and the bread was stained with egg yolk, "The weather is unpredictable."

Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes: "Who are you talking about?"

Su Jianan coughed and smiled dryly: "I said eggs."

After breakfast, Lu Boyan suddenly arranged for Uncle Qian to see Su Jianan off, and Shen Yuechuan to pick him up.

Su Jianan couldn't react: "Lu Boyan, aren't you...going to the company?" In that case, they were on the way, so why ask Shen Yuechuan to pick him up?

Shen Yuechuan knew what Lu Boyan was thinking, so he quickly made an excuse for Lu Boyan: "Yes, we are not going to the company. We are going to another place, which happens to be in the opposite direction to the police station."

Su Jian'an said "Oh", and seeing Lu Boyan's cold expression, he walked up to him, obviously looking like he had something to say, and Shen Yuechuan automatically avoided the car.

"I want to explain to you what happened yesterday." Su Jianan mustered up the courage to say.

"What's up?"

"When I called you in the evening, were you busy?" Su Jian'an explained to someone for the first time, inevitably blushing, "Actually, I didn't mean to pester you to go home, I just... I'm not used to money at the moment. Uncle, come pick me up. If you work overtime from now on, I won’t disturb your work."

"Very good." Lu Boyan said.

"What?" Su Jianan raised her head and looked at Lu Boyan in shock, "What... do you mean?"

"You are more conscious than I thought." Lu Boyan looked at her with an almost unfamiliar look, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave."

Su Jianan didn't react until Shen Yuechuan drove away.

In the past, when she got off work early, she liked to go to Lu Boyan's office. So, did she always disturb him?

He was really good-tempered, and he even ruffled her hair and asked her to play with his secretary. At that time, she thought he was happy.

If you don’t go, don’t go! From now on, even if she gets off work at 12 noon, she shouldn’t go to Lu Boyan’s company again!
