It was evening in London at this time.
The golden sunset shines on the Thames River, and the buildings on both sides of the river are reflected in the golden river water, and are swayed by the breeze.
"I miss you."
Su Jianan's low and soft voice came from the other side of the world, hitting Lu Boyan's heart without warning.
He suddenly stopped, and for the first time he had an unrealistic fantasy - how great would it really be to have teleportation
In this case, at this moment, he has already embraced Su Jianan in his arms.
Seeing that Lu Boyan suddenly stopped leaving, a group of assistant secretaries cast doubtful glances at him, and he motioned for them to leave first.
Lu Boyan walked to the river alone and said, "I have finished handling the matters here. After dinner, I will go to the airport. I will be home at noon tomorrow."
Su Jianan said "hmm", but her voice still sounded muffled. Lu Boyan frowned slightly. Just when he was about to ask her what was wrong, Su Jianan suddenly became energetic again: "Hey, please turn on the video!"
"Don't you feel bad about the phone bill?"
"I don't feel bad! You have money!" Su Jianan replied confidently.
Lu Boyan was unable to refute and connected the video call. Su Jianan's pretty face appeared on the screen and he couldn't look away.
Across the screen, Su Jianan naturally couldn't feel how hot Lu Boyan's gaze was, so she explained to herself: "Don't think too much, I'm not impatient to see you or anything, this is called an upgraded version of phone inspection!"
As she said this, she said "Huh" in surprise: "Are you next to the Thames? I've been to this place too. A little further past is Westminster Abbey."
The royal church where many great men were buried was indeed nearby. Lu Boyan let the camera of his mobile phone take a picture while asking Su Jianan: "When have you been here?"
"When I graduated from college," Su Jian'an said, "Xiao Xi said she wanted to see what the church where the prince and princess held their wedding was like, so she took me there as a graduation trip."
wedding
These two words attracted all Lu Boyan's attention.
"Jian An," he suddenly took his phone back and looked at Su Jian'an's face on the screen, "I have something to discuss with you when you get back. Just wait for me, okay?"
Su Jianan pursed her lips and smiled: "Then come back quickly, you won't wait until the deadline!"
"Sir?"
Before Lu Boyan could answer, a female voice suddenly sounded beside him. The woman spoke with a pure London accent: "Do you know how to get to London Bridge?"
Su Jianan could tell that the woman's accent was from London, and she even asked Lu Boyan for directions, obviously for the purpose of striking up a conversation!
She is looking forward to Lu Boyan’s answer!
As a result, Lu Boyan's voice was calm: "Sorry, I don't know. My wife is more familiar with this place. We are on the phone. Can I ask her for you?"
The woman looked at Lu Boyan's phone and was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled apologetically: "No, thank you." After that, she hurried away.
"Why are you lying to others?" Even though she said this, the corners of Su Jianan's lips couldn't help but raise, "I've only been to London once, how can I be familiar with it?"
"Do you want me to show her the way and then let her pester me to take her there?" Lu Boyan asked without answering.
"...Then you'd better send her away. She's not asking for directions anyway." Su Jian'an suddenly realized something was wrong, "Huh? How come you are so clear about the process of asking for directions and striking up a conversation?"
Lu Boyan said calmly: "I've been hit on too many times."
Su Jianan: "..."
"Mr. Lu." The assistant who was walking in front came back to remind Lu Boyan, "We will leave for the airport in an hour."
Su Jianan naturally heard the assistant's urging. Remembering that Lu Boyan hadn't had dinner yet, he hurriedly said, "You go to eat first. I have to go to bed too. See you tomorrow."
Lu Boyan also said: "See you tomorrow."
Seeing that he still showed no sign of actively hanging up, Su Jianan stretched out her slender finger and tapped the screen. After hanging up the phone, Lu Boyan's face disappeared from the screen.
She lay on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover her, and arched herself under the quilt, pressing the quilt tightly with her left and right sides of her body and feet—this was the big quilt she would use when the weather got cold. , so that the quilt will not be kicked down by her.
When Lu Boyan comes back tomorrow, she won't have to work so hard to cover herself up with the quilt.
Early the next morning, Su Jianan received a call from Captain Yan that he would have the day off.
Although she was happy, she was also confused: "Where is Wang Hong's case?"
"Let's put it aside for now." Captain Yan said helplessly, "We have no choice. Every year, such unsolved cases are archived. There are also new and more urgent cases. We can't spend so many resources just fighting on this case. . Take a day off, there will be a new case waiting for us tomorrow.”
"All right."
Su Jianan hung up the phone and found an unread text message, which was sent by Lu Boyan at around one o'clock in the morning. He got on the plane and would be home at noon today.
It was obviously still early, but after seeing this text message, Su Jianan couldn't fall asleep. She simply got up and went to have breakfast, then find something to do for herself, and soon it was past eleven o'clock.
"Young Madam," Uncle Xu came over and asked, "The young master is back today. What should you prepare for lunch?"
Su Jianan thought for a moment: "I'll do it!"
After cooking dinner for Lu Boyan for so long, Su Jianan has already observed which foods Lu Boyan prefers. Today, he cooked all his favorites. It was already past one o'clock when he finished the work.
Uncle Xu happily walked into the kitchen: "Madam, the young master called just now. He got off the plane and is on his way home!"
"Really?" Su Jianan's eyes lit up and she subconsciously looked down at herself. Loose home clothes
She took off her apron in dissatisfaction: "Uncle Xu, ask someone to bring the dishes out. I'll go back to the room."
When the last note fell, Su Jianan also disappeared from the kitchen door and rushed to the second floor.
Her goal was clear—the room.
As soon as she rushed into the room, she opened the wardrobe and picked through it. There were obviously a lot of clothes, but she didn't know which one to change.
Don't choose something too dazzling, it will look too grand. Lu Boyan will notice the clues and she will laugh to death from him. But her slightly more low-key ones are all casual clothes, which have no sense of beauty at all. They might as well wear home clothes.
"well-"
Su Jianan took a few steps back in dilemma, and fell down on the bed, resting her chin on her hands and worrying about the wardrobe of clothes.
Finally, her eyes fell on a light-colored skirt—the one Lu Boyan took her to buy last time!
Since he picked this one, it means it's what he likes, right? The colors and styles are all low-key and simple, which meets her requirements!
Su Jianan no longer hesitated. She took off her skirt and put it on, then took care of her hair. Finally, she felt it was too deliberate, so she casually messed up her black hair.
At this moment, there was a "click" and the door was pushed open.
Su Jianan subconsciously saw—
Lu Boyan!
It had only been a week, but Su Jianan felt as if she hadn't seen him in a century, but he still looked the same as when he left, with spotless leather shoes, a crisp and well-fitting suit, and an unparalleled handsome face.
Ignoring that her hair was still messy, Su Jianan rushed over, plunged into Lu Boyan's arms, and hugged his waist tightly.
Needless to say, Su Jianan's every move revealed her longing and love.
Lu Boyan smoothed her long, disheveled hair: "Didn't I call to say I was almost home? Why don't you wait for me downstairs?"
"I..." Su Jianan said hesitantly, "The clothes I just wore were too ugly..."
Lu Boyan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "I thought you did it on purpose."
Su Jianan was confused and blinked: "What's intentional?"
Lu Boyan said nothing, lowered his head and kissed Su Jianan.
The exotic scenery was fresh and wonderful, but without her around to talk to, he couldn't eat the food she made with her own hands, and she wasn't around during the long dark night. He just wanted to end the tedious business as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible.
He finally let go of Su Jian'an, but she didn't look away shyly like before, but stared at him.
Occasionally he would find Su Jianan secretly looking at him, but as long as he turned his head, she would immediately look away and would not admit it if asked. Sometimes he would even argue that she was looking at the scenery.
It was really unusual for her to stare at him like this today.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"It's nothing." Su Jianan smiled and shook her head, "I just want to confirm that you are back." In this way, she can feel at ease.
She was extra straightforward today, maybe she really missed him.
Lu Boyan's mood suddenly improved. He pulled Su Jianan over and pressed his forehead against hers: "How about using other methods to confirm, huh?"
Before Su Jianan understood what Lu Boyan meant, her stomach began to protest: "Gugu-gugu-"
Lu Boyan frowned: "You haven't eaten yet?"
Su Jianan lowered her eyebrows, her voice a little aggrieved: "I want to wait for you to come back and eat together..."
After so many years of ups and downs in the mall, Lu Boyan thought he had already trained the beating heart under his chest to be indestructible.
But Su Jianan's low and soft words easily made that place soft.
He single-handedly expanded the territory of the Lu family and went on countless business trips. Every time he went in and out of this so-called home with simple luggage, there was no reluctant look when he left, and there was no ecstatic face when he came back.
It seems like this is not a home, just a place for him to temporarily store his personal belongings.
But now, there is another Su Jian'an here, someone who is reluctant to let him go and who looks forward to his return every day.
This feeling is so subtle and beautiful that it cannot be expressed in words.
Seeing that Lu Boyan had no reaction, Su Jianan asked, "Didn't you eat it on the plane?"
Her watery eyes were filled with disappointment. Lu Boyan rubbed her hair: "Stupid."
At an altitude of 30,000 feet, thinking that he would see her in a few hours, how could Lu Boyan still be in the mood to eat
He took Su Jianan's hand and said, "Let's go down."
Only then did the smile return to Su Jianan's face. Her steps became much brisker, and she followed Lu Boyan downstairs and went straight to the restaurant.
Aunt Liu had already served the rice and soup. Su Jianan drank less than half a bowl of soup as soon as she sat down. Aunt Liu smiled and said, "The young master is back, and the young lady's appetite has improved!"
Aunt Li, who was busy on the side, echoed: "Who says it's not the case?"
Su Jianan caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of Lu Boyan's lips and felt embarrassed. She wanted to bury her face in the soup bowl. (To be continued)
