God help me!
Su Jianan gloated and rushed out of the elevator, completely unaware of Lu Boyan's gaze - it had become dangerous at some point.
When we got home, it was already getting late. The chef had already prepared all the ingredients. Su Jianan only needed to open the fire and take the spoon.
She skillfully put on the apron, thought for a while, called the chef, and told the chef some tips she had figured out while cooking.
The monk Zhang Er, the chef, was confused and asked: "Madam, why are you telling me this?"
"If you do this, Bo Yan will like to eat it more." Su Jianan said with a smile.
"Hey -" the chef also laughed and waved his hand, "Why don't you just do it! Mr. Lu will like it more!"
“…”
Su Jianan tried hard not to let the smile on her face freeze, she pursed her lips and forced out a smile, then turned around to cook, but accidentally choked on the chili—
After a brief sting, tears suddenly fell down.
"Ouch." The chef came over hurriedly, "Madam, I'll do it, you go and have a rest."
"It's okay." Su Jian'an stubbornly refused to let go, "I just choked a little and will be fine soon."
Soon, there will be no such opportunity…
After cooking the food, Su Jianan had already put her mind in order and pretended to be relaxed while having a meal with Lu Boyan.
After dinner, Lu Boyan went to the study to hold a video conference, and Su Jianan followed him upstairs.
I thought Su Jianan was going back to the room, but as soon as Lu Boyan stepped into the study, he suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes from behind.
Looking back, it turned out to be Su Jianan.
She looked at him pitifully: "I'll just go in and stay. I promise I won't disturb you!"
In the study -
Behind the desk, Lu Boyan was having a meeting in a language that Su Jianan didn't understand. Su Jianan was sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with a symbolic book on her lap, but she didn't turn the page after more than half an hour. Instead, he was stuck on Lu Boyan.
When Lu Boyan was in the meeting, his eyes would occasionally turn to her, and she immediately lowered her head and pretended to read a book.
I promised that I would never disturb him!
What finally distracted Su Jianan's attention was the falling snow outside the window.
It's getting colder and snowing again. When you wake up tomorrow, you will see a world covered in silver again, right
This winter will probably become the most beautiful winter in her life.
I don't know how long it had passed, but the sound of rustling footsteps penetrated my ears. Su Jianan came back to her senses, looked up and saw that it was Lu Boyan.
Before she could react, Lu Boyan suddenly leaned over, making her shrink back suddenly and look at Lu Boyan defensively.
Lu Boyan just turned her book upside down and said with a half-smile, "This book will be upside down in your hands all night long."
Su Jianan was embarrassed and said casually: "Oh, I'm practicing reading a book backwards..."
"..." Lu Boyan sat down next to her, put his hand across her shoulders and pulled her into his arms, "Pack your luggage tomorrow. We will fly directly to Bordeaux the day after tomorrow."
Su Jianan nodded: "Yes!"
I looked at the time, it was 10:30, which was getting late, so I decided to go back to the room.
Standing up, Su Jianan didn't move.
Lu Boyan looked at her calmly: "What's wrong?"
Su Jianan smiled brightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with bright anticipation: "Can you carry me on your back? Just like you did when you were a child."
Lu Boyan's memory was instantly brought back to fourteen years ago by Su Jianan's words.
That time it was Su Jianan who wanted to find him, but she felt bored when she arrived at the old house, so she ran out regardless of the adults' obstruction.
He chased her out and walked around with Su Jianan outside. Her young face was soon reddened by the sun, she sweated a lot, and she clamored to go back.
He promised to take her back, but she was so coquettish that she disliked the heat. She stood there with her head lowered and refused to move. Her eyes would glance at his back from time to time, and a flash of joy flashed across her bright eyes. Her little thoughts could not be more obvious.
Lu Boyan thought he would not agree, but as if his body was not controlled by his brain, he squatted down in front of her: "Come up."
Su Jianan happily climbed onto his back, and he carried her home.
Su Jianan chattered a lot to him on the way, and her childish words have become blurry. He just clearly remembers that she was very happy at the time, like a child who got candy.
Unexpectedly, she would do this again today, her eyes were the same as before: bright, excited, and full of expectation.
Su Jianan thought Lu Boyan would indulge her like he did when he was a child and asked him to come up, but in the end—
"Dong—" He slapped his forehead hard, and he scolded helplessly, "How old are you?"
After saying this, Lu Boyan walked out. Su Jianan didn't care about his "atrocities" and chased after him, wrapping her arms around his neck like a koala. The two of them laughed and made a fuss all the way back to the room.
They stayed with Lu Boyan like this for another day, and on the third day, the two flew straight to Bordeaux.
At three o'clock in the afternoon local time, Lu Boyan's private plane landed at Bordeaux Airport.
The temperature in Bordeaux in December is similar to that in City A, except that the sunshine is warmer and the wind blowing in the face does not have that biting chill.
The secretary had already arranged everything. After leaving the airport, a car took Lu Boyan and Su Jianan directly to the hotel.
Everything in a foreign country was strange and new. Su Jianan looked around curiously. When he encountered someone who was extremely interested, he pulled Lu Boyan and asked, "What is this?"
The amazing thing is that Lu Boyan can always answer no matter what she asks.
So, all her curiosity turned into doubt: "You have obviously never stayed in France, how can you know so much?"
Lu Boyan explained calmly: "Because I purchased the winery, I have to come here once a year." He held Su Jianan's hand and said, "I will bring you with me in the future. Come a few more times and you won't be curious about anything." "
Su Jianan was stunned for half a second, and then, quietly concealing the sourness in her heart, she squeezed out a smile and nodded happily: "Okay!"
After arriving at the hotel and settling in, Lu Boyan asked, "Would you like to take a rest?"
"No, I've been asleep on the plane for more than ten hours." Su Jianan put a scarf around her neck and held Lu Boyan's hand, "Let's go out for a walk."
Lu Boyan: "Go to the winery?"
Su Jianan didn't care at all: "I listen to you!"
Six years ago, Lu Boyan acquired this winery. The climate and soil conditions of the winery are very good. It is a natural place for grape planting. It has quickly become famous within a few years. The red wine produced is listed as one of the most famous wines in Bordeaux, and the winery has been rated as the most beautiful winery.
However, the glory of the winery is in midsummer. The grapevines have lost all their leaves in winter, and there is a large area of bare land. There is not even a trace of life on the dry soil. Only a few buildings in the manor are still distinctive.
Lu Boyan led Su Jianan up a small hill and motioned her to look into the distance.
Looking in the direction he pointed, the red sunset fell into Su Jianan's eyes.
The so-called sunset melts gold, or so it goes. Most of the grape growing land is plated with light gold, silently shining with tiny spots of light, as if telling the story of its glory in midsummer.
Maybe it was because the manor was too quiet, or maybe because the scenery was too peaceful, Su Jianan's mind also calmed down.
She pulled Lu Boyan to sit on the spot, clinging to him, immersed in the brief peace.
Lu Boyan gathered the scarf for her: "Is it cold?"
"It's not cold." Su Jianan shook her head and hugged Lu Boyan, "I don't want to go back."
Lu Boyan just thought she was greedy for the scenery in front of her: "You only see the sunset and don't want to go back?"
"Yeah." Su Jianan nuzzled into his arms, "It's so beautiful!"
In fact, where is the scenery that I am greedy for
He obviously misses the people around him and is greedy for this uninterrupted feeling of happiness.
"Mr. Lu." A middle-aged man wearing a custom-made suit came over with two young men. He leaned over and smiled at Lu Boyan. "This is our newly released red wine. How do you like it?"
Two young men placed the tray in front of Lu Boyan, which contained red wine and cups.
Lu Boyan thanked them, and the old gentleman took the young man away.
Su Jianan looked at the somewhat "desolate" surroundings and couldn't help but laugh: "Do we really want to taste the newly released red wine here?"
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and said in a rare casual manner: "What's not allowed?"
The red wine poured into the goblet, and Su Jianan took a sip. She couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but she felt... satisfied.
All she wants is the memory of being with Lu Boyan.
The sun went down quickly, and the light shrank little by little, leaving only a trace of the setting sun on the horizon.
Lu Boyan stood up and stretched out his hand towards Su Jianan: "I'll take you to see the wine cellar."
Su Jianan took his hand and stood up. Only then did she realize that her feet were numb from sitting for too long. Not to mention walking downhill, the soles of her feet were numb even if she moved them.
She looked at Lu Boyan in embarrassment: "Let me slow down for a moment."
Lu Boyan suddenly squatted down in front of her: "Come up."
Su Jianan was stunned and stared at Lu Boyan's back. Fourteen years seemed to pass by before his eyes.
Fourteen years ago, Lu Boyan was just a handsome young man. His back was not so broad and strong, and he did not have beautiful and clear muscle lines.
Now, he is a man with a heavy burden on his shoulders and the hopes of filling the company with employees.
His back should always be proudly straight, and no one or anything can make him bend his back.
Su Jianan lay down and rested her chin on his shoulder: "Aren't you afraid of being seen by the employees in the winery?"
Lu Boyan didn't care: "I'm not carrying someone else's wife."
Su Jianan laughed unconsciously, wrapped her hands around Lu Boyan's neck, lay on his back with peace of mind, and looked at the last ray of the setting sun on the horizon.
It's so beautiful, but it won't last long.
"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk." Although it's already bad, it's the most appropriate way to describe Su Jian'an's mood at the moment.
After all, Su Jianan wanted to maintain Lu Boyan's tall and cold image in the eyes of the employees. After walking out of the grape planting area, the numbness in his feet eased, so he struggled down and followed Lu Boyan to visit the wine cellar.
Because we usually bring customers or media to visit, the wine cellar is very beautifully designed, with a rich and quiet artistic heritage, well-organized workers in uniforms, and the aroma of wine...
If time didn't allow, Su Jianan wouldn't mind staying here for half a day. (To be continued)
