Chapter 207 - Without You

Chapter 207 Without You

Through the rearview mirror, Su Jianan glanced at Kang Ruicheng, standing at the door of the police station, which sent shivers down her spine and made her uncomfortable.

She had been pursued before, but this time, Su Jianan had a premonition and a deep uneasiness.

Kang Ruicheng, he mustn't be a good man.

If she knew it earlier, she wouldn't nose around in the Happy World that day.

Red light ahead; Lu Boyan stepped on the brakes and glimpsed at Su Jianan.

In the past, when she got in the car, she either started to find the CD to play music, or she started talking to him. She rarely stared at the window.

He asked her, "Jianan, what's wrong?"

"What?" Su Jianan looked back at Lu Boyan and replied with hesitation.

'Should I tell Lu Boyan about Kang Ruicheng?'

Before coming up with an answer, the red light turned into a green light, thus the car moved forward again.

Su Jianan finally shook her head, "Nothing, a dead person was found in the suburbs in the morning. We confirmed the criminal, but there is no definite evidence to arrest him."

Hearing this, Lu Boyan frowned. "Don't think about work again when off-duty."

Su Jianan touched the tip of her nose and asked, "Why?"

Lu Boyan said, "You've been at work during the day, shouldn't you leave it to me after work? If you want to, you should think about him."

Su Jianan took a moment and couldn't help but laugh. "Are you jealous of my work?"

Lu Boyan picked up his eyebrows but made no reply. Su Jianan understood that was admitting this. She felt like sunshine coming in and became happy in an instant. She forgot Kang Ruicheng's things for a while, talking and laughing on their way home with Lu Boyan.

Before going to sleep, Lu Boyan suddenly told Su Jianan, "I'll go on a business trip tomorrow."

Su Jianan felt unprepared and stunned. "Where to?"

"England," Lu Boyan said.

England and City A were far apart, divided by the ocean.

Su Jianan's heart suddenly had a strong sour feeling, just like the time when she was going to study abroad, parting from Su Yicheng at the airport.

She licked her lips and greedily looked at Lu Boyan. "When are you coming back?"

"This weekend." Lu Boyan stroked Su Jianan's long hair and said, "You can directly tell me that you'll miss me."

Su Jianan curled her mouth and said, "I won't miss you!" She counted her fingers one by one. "I have to work during the day, I have to sleep at night, I have to go to Xiaoxi's competition on the weekend… Hey? I don't even have time to miss you."

Lu Boyan dangerously narrowed his eyes that would nearly bully Su Jianan. Su Jianan suddenly hugged his waist and rubbed against him. Then, completely snuggling into his arms she softly called, "Husband…"

How could she not miss him? In the following week, it would nearly take 150 hours. Lu Boyan went to socialize for only four or five hours, she already could not sleep.

Hesitating for a moment, Su Jianan said, "But during sleep and meal times, I'll take time to miss you!"

Lu Boyan smiled and pulled the quilt for her. "Sleep."

Su Jianan thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep and hugged Lu Boyan. She was afraid of suffering losses and suddenly hugged him tighter. She wished that the whole person would stick to her arms. After a little toss, she finally slept with peace of mind.

Lu Boyan branded a kiss on her eyebrow and closed his eyes.

The night was sinking in the night like dark ink. No one noticed that in such a sleepy night, a countdown had begun, and dark tentacles were crawling from afar…

……

……

In the Kangs' old house, the old city area.

At one o'clock in the morning, Kang Ruicheng lay on the wicker chair in the yard, energetic like the bodyguards outside who did the night shift.

Dongzi pushed the door and poured wine into his empty cup. He said, "Brother, I've known it." His tone appeared a bit conflicted.

Kang Ruicheng felt that things were not simple and more interesting. "Speak, I'll listen."

Dongzi said after swallowing, "According to the investigation, Su Jianan married to Lu Boyan at the beginning of this year…"

Kang Ruicheng unhappily stopped shaking the wicker chair. He asked, "Her husband's surname is Lu?"

"Oh, yes, he's called Lu Boyan." Dongzi couldn't understand, Lu Boyan was so famous in the market, why did Kang Ruicheng merely care about this surname?

He asked, "Brother, this surname… What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I really don't like this surname." Kang Ruicheng rashly drank a glass of wine. "Then I have no reason to leave Su Jianan to him."

Dongzi felt shameful because of the family surnamed Lu. He aimed to grab the wife of another… Was that okay?

Kang Ruicheng turned the wine glass in his hand. "Can you tell me something about this Lu Boyan?"

"His position here is like when you were in the Golden Triangle." Dongzi said, "This man started from scratch and built his own kingdom in just ten years. He is not a simple man. Brother, you see…"

Dongzi wanted to persuade Kang Ruicheng to give up on Su Jianan. After all, they still had more important things to do. Besides, beautiful women were all over the street; if he played for a long time, he would be tired. Why bother Lu Boyan?

"Shut up!" Before Dongzi continued, Kang Ruicheng gave a cold order.

"The main thing is that he is Lu Boyan!" Dongzi was also anxious. "If he were a small company boss, it's okay, he can't do anything even if we robbed him. But this is Lu Boyan. It's not easy to provoke, otherwise, how could he run the Lu's group for ten years? Besides, we don't have to provoke such a person because of a woman! We haven't yet gotten Mu Sijue of City G!"

"Dongzi, do you know why I didn't send you out to do things?" Kang Ruicheng said. "You have too many considerations before you do it. I only know that I want Su Jianan; what I, Kang Ruicheng wants, isn't it simple? No matter who she is married to, I'll grab her!"

Dongzi knew that he could not persuade Kang Ruicheng, and bit his teeth. "Then you say how we are to act! And after investigating, I found that Lu Boyan would go to the UK for a business trip tomorrow. It is better… we'll go and tie her to let you play a few days, how about it?"

He looked forward to having Su Jianan, just like the women Kang Ruicheng used to be interested in the past. After playing for four or five days, Kang Ruicheng would be tired of her, and then he would walk away.

"Didn't you say that Lu Boyan is not an easy to provoke person? Is this kind of person's wife so easy to tie up?" Kang Ruicheng smiled. "I would like to first see how their marriage is doing."

"I monitored this!" Dongzi rushed to explain. "It's said that Su Jianan and Lu Boyan were married to produce a protective umbrella, so some people speculate that the media said that their so-called good marriage just on the outside, it is Su Jianan who used it to deceive her father. In fact, both of them are pretending! Yes, it is said that Lu Boyan and the big star Han Ruoxi were lovers before."

Kang Ruicheng was more interested, drinking the little bit of wine left at the bottom of the bottle, and confessing. "Dongzi, start tomorrow, do as I ordered."

Dongzi immediately replied, "Yes!"

Kang Ruicheng waved to tell Dongzi to go first. After the door was closed, he leaned back on the wicker chair and looked at the night sky that could not even reveal a star because of the city lights. He coldly turned up the corner of his mouth.

Lu Boyan, Lu…

This life, he hated this surname, his home, was destroyed by the man surnamed Lu.

At that time, he shouldn't have been so impulsive to take that man's life in a car accident, then hounding his wife and son to death.

He should have let him live first, then start from his son, then to his wife, destroying one by one; this, to let him taste the pain of losing his loved ones, and then to send him to death.

A phone ring brought Kang Ruicheng's thoughts back to reality. He looked at the number displayed on the screen, and the smile on his lips faded away. "A Ning."

"It's me." There was a female voice in the receiver.

"How are you in City G?" Kang Ruicheng asked, "Do Mu Sijue still not believe in you?"

"He can hardly believe people, I'm trying to find a way." A Ning said, "Before you act, I must have the trust of Mu Sijue! Right… I've heard from Dongzi, you are looking for a woman in City A?"

Kang Ruicheng's face immediately went cold. "It's none of your business! You are performing tasks, don't ask anything outside the mission! I'll tell you if necessary."

In other words, what he didn't say was what she couldn't ask.

A Ning's sound obviously became lost. "Oh," she said, "I'm sorry, I know. If it's okay, I'll hang up first."

"A Ning…" There was a touch of helplessness in the sound of Kang Ruicheng.

"I'm fine." A Ning laughed at Kang Ruicheng. "But, if you fall in love with someone, tell me please? It's nothing, I just… want to know."

Kang Ruicheng closed his eyes, hung up the phone, buckled the phone to the tea table, and sighed at the heavy night sky.

In City G, a beautiful young girl sadly smiled and put the phone away.

This night was a sleepless night for her.

The following day.

Su Jianan didn't know if it was because she remembered that Lu Boyan was going on a business trip today. She woke up early, and LuBoyan still slept.

She took a look at Lu Boyan for a while, then carefully got out of bed. After checking the weather in the UK she then moved a suitcase to pack up the baggage for Lu Boyan.

She used to help Su Yicheng to prepare the baggage for the business trip. She had her own set of folding clothes. She quickly classified casual wear and pajamas. The next step was the daily necessities.

When Lu Boyan woke up, he subconsciously touched his side, empty, and he frowned, then he saw Su Jianan kneeling at the end of the bed, putting his things in the luggage one by one, and counting them in a small voice,

"Shaving water, electric toothbrush, razor… what else?"

Su Jianan thought it hard. Suddenly someone was holding her from behind. She "snapped" her voice. She didn't have to guess that he was Lu Boyan. She couldn't have time to say anything. His warm kiss had fallen between her shoulders and neck.

She couldn't help but laugh and pushed Lu Boyan, "Itchy… Right, can you see if there is anything missing?" Lu Boyan, this person was very picky, although the hotel would prepare toothbrush and toothpaste, he would never use them.

Lu Boyan left a mark on her shoulder. "Missed one."

"What?" Su Jianan rummaged and checked. "Nothing." The baggage he had traveled with on the last trip was also packed up by her. This time it was almost the same, what's missing?"

"You," Lu Boyan said.

"…Boring." Su Jianan slammed and pushed Lu Boyan. "What time are you flying?"

"8:50."

Su Jianan looked at the time, not too early nor too late. She pushed Lu Boyan to the bathroom then said, "I'm waiting for you downstairs."

Lu Boyan obviously didn't want to go in, and he pretended to pull Su Jianan into the bathroom. Su Jianan was greatly shocked, frightened holding the door frame. She saw his deep smile on his lips, and then helplessly softened her shoulders. "Childish."

But it was undeniable that she enjoyed Lu Boyan's childishness.

Outsiders, even if Shen Yuechuan who was closer to him, might not be able to see his childish side.
