There was no light on in the study, and only the starlight from the garden barely illuminated the window.
It was already early in the morning, and Lu Boyan didn't know how long he had been sitting here. There were already a lot of cigarette butts in the ashtray at his hand.
Su Jianan admitted to him that he liked Jiang Shaokai and filed for divorce, which he did not expect.
Those photos were taken by Chen Xuanxuan, who was following her, and sent to the magazine. He knew that.
No magazine dared to make these photos public without his permission, so he was the first person to see this set of photos.
At that moment, he was so jealous that he almost wanted to turn back time to last night, pick up Su Jianan as soon as he got off work, and cut off all contact between her and Jiang Shaokai.
But he suddenly realized that the person who had been with Su Jianan for the past six or seven years was Jiang Shaokai. Her laughter and tears over the years were all witnessed by Jiang Shaokai. Even if he could change last night, he couldn't change the past six or seven years.
He said that if Su Jianan really liked Jiang Shaokai, he would give the choice to Su Jianan, but when he saw these photos, he doubted that he could do it.
He just wanted to keep Su Jianan by his side, even if she would hate him.
However, she personally admitted that she liked Jiang Shaokai, and she took the initiative to file for divorce.
At that moment, something seemed to be broken in his heart. He had never been so jealous of someone, so jealous that he wanted to disappear from the world.
But what if Jiang Shaokai really disappears? Su Jianan still likes him. For Jiang Shaokai's dream, she could even force herself to marry him.
When had Su Jianan ever sacrificed like this for him
So, it's better to follow her words, sign a divorce agreement and let her go, before Jiang Shaokai marries someone else, before Kang Ruicheng discovers her, give her freedom and make her happy.
That night, Lu Boyan didn't sleep all night, and didn't close his eyes for a while until it was almost dawn.
While half asleep, he heard the grunting sound of the suitcase's pulley rubbing against the ground. He suddenly woke up, opened the study door and saw that it was Su Jian'an who was dragging the suitcase downstairs.
He panicked, his body already moving before his brain - he rushed over and stopped in front of Su Jianan: "Where are you going? Are you so eager to leave?"
"... Whatever you think." Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan for a moment and felt unable to explain, "Can you draft a divorce agreement in a week?"
Lu Boyan held her hand hard: "If the divorce agreement is not signed for a day, we will still be husband and wife. You are not allowed to leave here!"
He almost lost his usual demeanor and became only arrogant.
"I'm going on a business trip to City Z." Su Jianan broke away from Lu Boyan's hand, "Just calm down for a few days and draft the agreement. I'll sign it when I get back."
"Su Jian'an," Lu Boyan's deep eyes seemed to be self-deprecating, but more of an anger. "Three sentences in the agreement, how much do you want a divorce?"
He asked her the question a second time.
This time, Su Jianan gave a very clear answer: "I really want it. You really want it too, don't you? After the divorce, we have the freedom to choose again."
"Then you want to choose Jiang Shaokai?" Lu Bociyan sneered, suddenly filled with anger, "You go, now!"
Su Jian'an didn't say anything. She carried her small suitcase down the stairs and never looked back.
Lu Boyan watched as he gradually moved away. He moved his hand several times, but never stretched it out.
He looked away and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, Su Jianan was no longer there.
She just left.
When he decided to marry her, Lu Boyan knew that such a day would come, but he never thought that this day would come so quickly, just like he didn't expect that Kang Ruicheng would come back so soon.
Now go chase Su Jianan back and tell her that he didn't mean to do it these days. It's still too late to save her, he knows. But what if we chase her back? In the end, I have to let her go, let her go back to that simple and clean world.
It's better to let her leave now, and he accepts the fact just like he accepted the unexpected death of his father.
At this moment, Lu Boyan suddenly felt exhausted. Instead of going back to his room, he opened the door of Su Jianan's room.
On the day he agreed to marry Su Jianan, he asked Uncle Xu to prepare the room. The furniture was changed to the simple style she liked, the curtains were changed to her favorite off-white color, and the grass green carpet she liked was laid in front of the bed.
He went in to pick out that set of bedding for her when he passed by a home textile store. He heard that she liked light colors and soft fabrics, so he thought she would enjoy this set very much.
She had liked sleeping on a soft bed since she was a child, saying it felt like sleeping on a cloud, so he chose the softest mattress for her.
But only half a year later, she left, leaving only her scent.
Lu Boyan lay down on the bed. Her breath was stronger on the pillow. He breathed and covered her with the quilt. His whole body was surrounded by a strong sense of fatigue. He closed his eyes and fell into sleep. .
Before falling asleep, a drop of crystal liquid slipped from the corner of his eye and penetrated into the pillow. No one knows now or in the future.
…
…
The white LaCrosse was galloping on the road in the early morning, and the sunshine hitting her face couldn't make Su Jianan feel better.
As the car drove out of the villa area, everything in front of her eyes became hazy again. She finally stopped the car and leaned on the steering wheel.
Lu Boyan asked her to leave, but he showed no mercy and asked her to leave immediately.
When he went on a business trip to the United States, she cried on the phone, and he told her to stop crying across the ocean. Later, she woke up crying from the nightmare of almost being killed, and it was he who comforted her, Jian An, stop crying.
If he had just seen the tears on her face, would he have felt a little bit distressed? How could someone who had hurt her become like this
"Baba—"
There was a rapid honking sound from behind. Su Jianan looked back and saw that her car was blocking someone else's way. She hurriedly wiped her tears and started the car and drove towards the police station.
When she arrived at the police station and parked her car, it happened to be 8:15. She checked her things again to make sure nothing was missing, and went to the tarmac to meet everyone.
After Captain Yan called his name, Su Jianan followed the team members to board the plane. The helicopter's propellers turned and stirred up wind and sand, taking them towards another city.
Su Jianan sat at the back and had been reading the case information. Captain Yan and the others next to her were chatting and laughing, but she just felt that all the sounds were far away from her.
"Jian An, we have to have a meeting with the local police station when we get to Sanqing Town. Their police officers will tell us the information in the meeting." Xiaoying came over and took away the information in Su Jianan's hand, "I always thought It's Jiang Shaokai who's coming, your Mr. Lu... is he willing to let you go to such a remote town?"
Su Jianan was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly raised the corners of her lips: "He knows this is my work requirement."
"That's it." Xiaoying looked at Su Jian'an and suddenly felt like he was in a new world, "Your eyes... are a bit swollen."
"Oh." Su Jianan smiled and rubbed her eyes, "I drank too much water before going to bed last night. I'm going to wash my face."
After saying that, Su Jianan got up and went into the bathroom. Xiaoying was stunned before she could react. Captain Yan dragged her back: "Jian An has been acting weird since yesterday. I guess it was because of a quarrel with Lu Boyan. Don't ask. It’s about her Lu Boyan.”
Xiaoying realized later, no wonder Jian An's eyes were swollen! After saying that, he was slapped hard on the head by Captain Yan.
Su Jianan washed her face and stayed in the bathroom for a while before coming out. Except for her eyes being a little swollen, she looked no different from the Su Jianan she used to have.
Xiaoying returned the information to her: "Jian An, you should read the information and don't think too much."
"I don't have any eyesight!" Captain Yan hit Xiaoying's head hard again. Xiaoying said "ouch" and looked at Captain Yan aggrievedly, but did not dare to say anything.
"I'm fine." Su Jianan smiled at everyone, "I won't bring my personal emotions to work. By the way, what do you think of this case?"
Everyone followed Su Jianan's topic and started chatting about the case. The more they talked, the more seriously they became involved. Gradually, Su Jianan also forgot about what happened with Lu Boyan. She listened to everyone's opinions while providing them with her professional issues. Solve doubts and enjoy the harmonious atmosphere of teamwork.
But there was one place where the atmosphere was very unharmonious at the moment - Shen Yuechuan's office.
Lu Boyan didn't come to the company again! He left the meeting again! And he didn’t answer the phone this time!
"Well, our Mr. Lu family has a lovely wife." Another assistant said with a smile while sorting the documents, "You told us to get used to it in the meeting that day, but why did you go crazy yourself?"
Shen Yuechuan said "Oh", "I wish things were really that simple."
He knew that Lu Boyan's reason for not coming to the company must be because of Su Jianan, but it certainly wasn't because he overslept while holding Su Jianan.
In the end, Shen Yuechuan decided to go to Lu Boyan's house. As soon as he stepped in, he found that the atmosphere at home was strange and stiff. He asked Uncle Xu, "What's going on?"
"Young Madam took her luggage and left this morning." Uncle Xu shook his head, "It's hard for this family to feel like home, and now it's like this again."
Shen Yuechuan rushed upstairs and pushed open Lu Boyan's room door. No one was there. He suddenly realized something and pushed open Su Jianan's room door. Sure enough, Lu Boyan was lying on the bed.
He sighed, walked in and shook Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan frowned slightly in his sleep: "Jian An, don't make trouble."
Shen Yuechuan was sad and angry: "What's wrong with Jane? She's gone!"
Lu Boyan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yuechuan in a daze. After a while, he remembered that Su Jianan was indeed gone. He watched her go this morning.
He covered his eyes with his arms: "You go out, I will be at the company in an hour."
"Why did you let her go?" Shen Yuechuan jumped angrily, "What on earth did you say to her?"
"... She told me that she liked Jiang Shaokai and asked me to draft a divorce agreement." Lu Boyan moved his hand away and smiled bitterly, "This is the best time to let her go. There is no need to let her know anything. I even No more trying to make her hate me.”
“…”
Shen Yuechuan was speechless for a long time - Jian An likes that boy Jiang Shaokai? Why does he look so different!
"There might be some misunderstanding. The investigation I mentioned before was just a joke to you!" Shen Yuechuan became anxious, "You promised Jian An a divorce? Just push her to Jiang Shaokai like this?"
"After we deal with Su Hongyuan, Jiang Shaokai can protect her." Lu Boyan said, "Keep her by my side, you know how dangerous it is."
Shen Yuechuan knew and gradually understood the pain. He sighed and left the room.
After lying there for a while, Lu Boyan lifted the quilt and got up.
The sunlight filtered into the room through the beige curtains he had chosen himself. As he looked at the huge room, his heart suddenly became empty.
Just like this room, I always feel like something is missing.
—is the one who used to live here, and she may never come back. (To be continued)
