Chapter 28 Indescribable Sense Of Yearning
As soon as they got in the car, Su JianAn took out the black card and gave it to Lu BaoYan and said, “I want to return this to you.”
Lu BaoYan knitted his brows “Cannot use?”
“You gave me the wrong one.” Su JianAn said seriously, “My salary for two years is 480,000, but you give me a credit card. Wait, don’t tell me that you want me to use all 480,000 and return it back to you? But, how can I count the money I used every time I swipe…”
Lu BaoYan’s brows were deeper “You only need salary for two years?”
Day before, Su JianAn also said that she would do her duty for two years.
But why only two years?
“What are you talking about? We’ll getting divorce in two years.” Su JianAn said, “I can’t just divorce with you but still going to cook for you. Others will think that lotus roots may break, but the fiber remains joined…[1]”
Lu BaoYan’s brows finally relaxed. He didn’t take the card but instead slammed the throttle. The high-class ONE77 rushed out like a string of arrows. Su JianAn slammed onto the back of the chair and burst into pain. She looked at Lu BaoYan with anger, but found that his face was dark like a black cloud.
Su JianAn had seen the cold ice look of Lu BaoYan before. But then he was just cold, not so…frightening.
Yes, frightening. His long and narrow eyes were cold and gloomy. She felt suffocated. He looked like a cheetah on the edge of anger.
She was afraid of saying anything, she can’t say a word.
The sharp brakes rang loudly, and ONE77 was strongly parked in front of the police station. Lu BaoYan said coldly “We are here.”
Su JianAn tried to smile “Thank you.”
His handsome face was expressionless. He didn’t even glance at her and she hurriedly went out of the car.
What kind of behavior he was showing, she never ask him to send her back, she could ride in Jiang ShaoKai’s car!
Soon, ONE77 whistling away from the police station, Su JianAn thought of Lu BaoYan’s gentleness while in the Chasing Moon Restaurant, sure enough he was just find a stage to put on comedy[2]. Now no one present, he treated her as his half enemy.
The heart of a man is like a needle!
However, Su JianAn has become accustomed to Lu BaoYan’s moodiness, she turned and went into the police station.
After work, Su JianAn hurriedly home.
20,000 a month is not a small amount, she wanted to prepare dinner before Lu BaoYan returns.
Considering that at noon they had a little greasy meals in the Chasing Moon Restaurant, Su JianAn specially prepared a light dinner. She waited until 8 o’clock, and Lu BaoYan still not come back.
Old Xu was less anxious than Su JianAn “Young Madam, do you want to call the Young Master?”
“Oh okay.”
Su JianAn took out her phone and was about to call Lu BaoYan, then she realized that she didn’t save his phone number.
How ridiculous, the Mrs. Lu that everyone envied don’t even now her own husband’s phone number.
Old Xu took Su JianAn’s phone and dialled Lu BaoYan’s phone number. She heard a female voice “Hello, the number you dialed has been turned off…”
“The Young Master must be busy right now.” Old Xu said, “Young Madam, do you want to eat first?”
Su JianAn always felt that eating is the top priority in life. Only eating and sleeping she thought she could not live without, but maybe because she was too full during lunch. She didn’t have any appetite for dinner. “Old Xu, when Lu BaoYan is back, please give him a hot meal. I am going back to the room.”
Old Xu looked at Su JianAn’s back and sighed “Their relationship seem to be a little bit better, but what happened now?”
Su JianAn went back to the room and took a shower. After chatting with Luo XiaoXi, she read a book while listening to a soft music.
She thought that she was not affected by Lu BaoYan not being at home, but she did not realize that she was actually keeping her eyes on her bedroom door that was slightly opened, waiting for any movement from downstairs.
Until twelve o’clock, there was no movement from downstairs, and there were countless possibilities in Su JianAn’s mind – he might be very busy, involve in an accident, or… maybe he is with Han RuoXi.
The last guess made Su JianAn felt a different kind of feeling. She didn’t dare to understand it carefully, and she closed her eyes and hypnotized herself.
The next day, Su JianAn was woken up by the alarm clock. She bounced off at the speed of light and changed her clothes.
Lu BaoYan sat in the living room.
She blinked her eyes – When did he come back?
Lu BaoYan's line of sight swept over, and Su JianAn raised her lips “Good Morning.”
Lu BaoYan hesitated, but still said “I worked overtime yesterday and slept in the company.”
"Huh?" Su JianAn blinked in surprise. "You didn't come back last night?"
In fact, Lu BaoYan did not have time to come back in the morning, but he still took two hours to come back and tell Su JianAn that he did not come back last night.
However, her reaction was, she don't even know whether her husband has gone home or not?
Su JianAn looked at Lu BaoYan with strange look, she coughed and weakly handing out the black card "That, you forgot to take the card yesterday."
Lu BaoYan blinked, Su JianAn felt that he was going to be angry, thus she hurriedly said “I don’t need this card!”. In addition to buying electronic products and lenses, she rarely has a large amount of consumption.
“You either accept this card or you are working without pay.”
Lu BaoYan turned and left.
“Young Master!” Old Xu shouted behind him. “You haven’t had breakfast yet!”
“…” Lu BaoYan did not turn, Old Xu looked at Su JianAn and sighed.
Su JianAn also sighed “It seems that Lu BaoYan was not happy since last night…”
“Young Madam, the Young Master is not happy after returning.” Old Xu clearly pointed out.
Su JianAn stunned “He doesn’t like to go back to this house? Must be hard for him.”
Old Xu sighed for a long time looking at his poor Young Master.
For the next period of time, Lu BaoYan suddenly became very busy, he rarely came back home to eat dinner, and also was not seen in the morning.
At the beginning, Su JianAn was not too happy, because she did not have to wait for Lu BaoYan, and she still received her salary! There is nothing better than this in this world!
Therefore, when she saw Lu BaoYan, she always smiled, as if the unhappiness at noon did not happen.
Lu BaoYan always looked tired and sleep as soon as he came back. The next day he left before she woke up.
Everyday when Su JianAn arrived home, she will looked at the living room and everyday she noticed that nobody there. Suddenly, she was not used to it.
The longest time, Lu BaoYan did not go home for four consecutive days. Old Xu did not mention him, and sure enough Su JianAn never take the initiative to ask Old Xu about him.
But she gradually began to missed him.
Sometimes she missed his smiling face.
She missed his voice.
She missed his warm palm.
Maybe he was really busy, or… not willing to go home.
Su JianAn was holding a detective novel while sitting on her bed and had a moment in her head. In the past half of the month, she had only seen Lu BaoYan four times.
The next day, Lu BaoYan had refreshed the number of days of not seeing him to five days.
But why did she remember these numbers so clearly? It seems that her mathematics was too good that she became sensitive to numbers. Definitely not a good thing…
“Young Madam!” Old Xu’s voice was heard along with a quick knock on the door, “Young Madam!”
Su JianAn hurriedly threw the book and ran to open the door “What happened?”
“The Young Master is hospitalized.”
Su JianAn sat in the car, she was on her way to the hospital, her hands trembled slightly.
Old Xu said that Shen YueChuan just called and said that Lu BaoYan was in hospital and hurriedly hung up the phone. She didn’t dare to think about how bad the situation would be.
She just felt that her heart was hung up at that moment, and countless panic flooded the heart.
Lu BaoYan, he appear to be omnipotent, so she never thought he would be hospitalized.
She didn’t even think about it. She was so scared when she heard about him being hospitalized.
As she arrived at the hospital, she went to the inpatient department of the internal medicine department regardless of her care. She finally found Lu BaoYan's ward and opened the door to see him lying on the hospital bed. Her footsteps stopped.
In just five days, he had lost lots of weight, his face was pale, and his blue-green vein popped out. Although he did not affect his beauty, he still look sick and weak.
He really collapsed.
The rim of Su JianAn's eyes were warm, she walked over "Lu Baoyan, wake up…"
She wants Lu BaoYan to open his eyes and look at her with a smile, pushing her forehead and calling her stupid…
“Lu BaoYan, you… open your eyes and look at me…”
Suddenly, Su JianAn's tears fell on the back of Lu BaoYan's hand.
If this was a TV series, the actor should be awakened by the warm tears of the heroine, slowly open his eyes and gently wipe the tears for the heroine.
But Su JianAn just heard Lu BaoYan say “What do you have to look good?”
His voice was a little weak, but his behavior that made people unable to speak could not change.
“Are you awake?” Su JianAn forgot to be angry and quickly wiped away her tears “I am going to call a doctor!”
Lu BaoYan grabbed her hand and dragged her back “No need, I am not sick.”
His eyes were glued to Su JianAn’s face.
In the past half a month, he was so busy that he didn’t even have time to drink, let alone to see her. Finally he got to see her, he found her eyes were red and her peach blossoms eyes were full of seriousness.
“It’s not something shameful to get sick.” Su JianAn said in a comforting tone “Just admit that you are sick, I won’t laugh at you.”
Lu BaoYan “…”
At the same time, Shen YueChuan who had completed the formalities, walked in the room and saw that Su JianAn's eyes were red. He comforted her "Jian An, don't be afraid, it’s just Bao Yan didn’t eat regularly for five days, and there was no rest for two days, causing old problems. He just have stomach pain, he will not die.”
“You have stomach illness?” Su JianAn looked at Lu BaoYan. “Your stomach is sick! Do you still say that you are not sick?”
Lu BaoYan rubbed his eyebrows
He saw that the drip was empty, so he wanted to pull the needle from his hands.
Su JianAn took his hand "Let me." She have a surgeon's license, and sure enough more professional than him.
She carefully pulled the needle, and put a piece of cotton on his hand “Press and hold this.”
Her hands were holding his palms, her hands were soft and warm. Lu BaoYan suddenly didn’t want her to let go, with his very sick look he said “You help me press and let’s go home.”
"But" said Shen YueChuan, "I just gave you a hospitalization procedure!"
“If you like to stay, then you stay, the hospitalization fee is mine.”
Shen YueChuan burst into tears.
