It was held at a five-star hotel, which belonged to Lu Enterprises. As Su Yicheng had wanted, the hotel restaurant had been closed for three days during the anniversary.

It was 7 p.m. as the guests and the staff members of the Cheng An Group arrived at the hotel.

Although Su Jianan could not drink or wear high-heeled shoes, which would be dangerous for her, she still attended the reception together with Lu Boyan.

She used to refuse it when Su Yicheng had asked her to attend those occasions and meet more people. But she had hardly been absent when it came to the anniversaries and annual meetings of the Cheng An Group.

She knew best how hard it had been for Su Yicheng to start empty-handed. However, with the belief of giving her a better life, he had muddled his way through and finally made it.

Su Jianan knew best what the Cheng An Group meant to Su Yicheng.

A black luxury car stopped in front of the hotel. Su Jianan saw Shen Yuechuan when she just got out of the car.

Shen Yuechuan was in a blue suit with a matching bow tie that day, with a youthful hairstyle that had been dyed partially. He looked younger and more handsome than usual.

That night, he would be the most eye-catching bachelor.

Shen Yuechuan, who was sharp-eyed, also saw Su Jianan and Lu Boyan at once. He walked over to them and said, “Let’s go.”

Su Jianan took Lu Boyan’s arm, saying, “Wait a minute... I wonder if you could help me.”

Shen Yuechuan thought for a while and asked in doubt, “What can I do for you?”

“Yunyun will be coming here alone. I think it may be inconvenient for her to call a taxi since she’s in a gown. Could you please go and drive her here?” Su Jianan smiled, perfectly hiding what she was thinking about.

Shen Yuechuan did not see through Su Jianan. He thought it was a piece of cake, so he replied without hesitation, “No problem. I’ll leave right now.”

“Do you know where Yunyun lives?” Su Jianan asked.

“I’ve returned a phone to her there.” Shen Yuechuan took out his car key and opened the door. He waved his hand with his back to Su Jianan, saying, “See you.”

Seeing the yellow sports car merge into the traffic, Su Jianan quickly phoned Xiao Yunyun and said, “Yunyun, dress yourself up. The more beautiful you are, the better! ... Uh, there will be many reporters at the reception, so you will probably be in the shot. You should be at your best since you have a connection with Cheng An Group!”

The ingenuous Xiao Yunyun believed Su Jianan’s words and said, “Of course. I won’t let my cousin lose face!”

“Come on, put on your sharpest gown!” Su Jianan encouraged her.

After the call, Su Jianan thought she was doing another good deed. She gave Lu Boyan a bright smile and said, “Let’s go.”

Lu Boyan held Su Jianan, saying, “If Yunyun and Yuechuan end up in a relationship, they’d owe it all to you.”

“Uh, a lady is willing to bring a romance to a happy ending!” Su Jianan said with a proud and mysterious look on her face.

Xiao Yunyun had been working in City A far away from home, so it could not be better if someone stayed by her side. As for Shen Yuechuan... he needed a person who would love him heart and soul while giving him warmth.

“If Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun love each other, it can’t be better,” Su Jianan thought.

However, at that moment what she needed to care about first was the issue of Lu Boyan and her.

It was widely spread that Lu Boyan and Su Jianan had reconciled. What’s more, after Luo Xiaoxi broke the news, the media confirmed that Lu Boyan had ended his relationship with Han Ruoxi, but the reporters had never gotten any photos regarding that.

That night, Lu Boyan showed up together with Su Jianan, which authenticated Luo Xiaoxi’s words. It also meant that the previous gossip was totally a rumor.

The reporters rushed to them within seconds, blocking their way forward, with the camera lights flashing wildly. They didn’t want to miss a single frame.

Lu Boyan had prepared for that. Eight muscular bodyguards, as well as the hotel security staff, stood around him and Su Jianan to form a line of defense, so she would not be bumped into.

The reporters were not affected by that at all, they just bombed them with a series of questions:

“Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu, is it true that you never got divorced? Can you say something about your signed divorce agreements that have been widely read on the Internet?”

“Mrs. Lu, why don’t you answer our questions? Are you trying to fool the public?”

Having been surrounded and asked by the reporters those days, Su Jianan was already afraid of them. Hearing that question, she anxiously looked at Lu Boyan, who stopped there all of a sudden.

The reporters suddenly became quiet and turned off their flash lamps.

They stared at Lu Boyan, who just looked seriously at the female reporter that had questioned Su Jianan. He asked, “Was your magazine the first to publish the photo of the signed agreements?”

The female reporter didn’t know why Lu Boyan had asked in that way. She became quite nervous, saying, “Yes.”

“At that time, there was some misunderstanding between my wife and I. We had never decided to submit the agreements to the court, let alone make them public.” Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes and asked, “How did you get the photo?”

“We...” That reporter paled at once. She swallowed hard while her palms were cold and sweaty.

At that moment, the other reporters just wanted to stay away from Lu Boyan. Even though it was their job, they just didn’t want to ask Su Jianan any questions.

Otherwise, they would no longer be heard in the media circle the next day...

No one dared to ask an extra question, let alone block their way. Then Lu Boyan held Su Jianan to walk toward the reception.

Su Jianan confirmed that the reporters couldn’t hear their words, so she said to Lu Boyan in a low voice, “I sent the photo to them...”

Lu Boyan replied as if nothing had happened, “I knew that.”

Su Jianan’s beautiful peach-blossom-like eyes widened slightly. She asked, “Then why did you question the reporter that way?”

Lu Boyan said with disdain, “It’s the best way to shut them up.”

Su Jianan: “...”

Compared with the reporters, the worldly-wise businessmen were not surprised at all when they saw Lu Boyan and Su Jianan. They didn’t show any surprise when looking into the couple’s eyes and just tried to show their congratulations as well as admiration.

Su Jianan just greeted those people with a standard smile on her face, while looking toward the entrance from time to time.

She was looking forward to Shen Yuechuan showing up together with Xiao Yunyun.

When Shen Yuechuan just reached Xiao Yunyun’s house, he stopped his car and rolled down the window as usual. Then he saw Xiao Yunyun pushing open the apartment gate and walking through it.

She was in a high-waisted, light-yellow tube dress, which gave her figure a perfect body proportion, and a pair of good-looking high heels, with her fair-skinned lean ankles bare. Looking at her delicate, pretty face, Shen Yuechuan felt an inexplicable urge to protect her arise within his heart.

“Oh heck!” he thought.

With that, Shen Yuechuan beeped the horn and it got Xiao Yunyun’s attention. He got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and said, “This way.”

Xiao Yunyun drew her coat with a surprised look on her face, saying, “How come you’re here?”

“Why can’t I come here?” Shen Yuechuan knew that Xiao Yunyun hadn’t expected him there, but he had just shown up. He became kind of satisfied, saying, “Don’t forget that you owe me a meal.”

Su Jianan had told Xiao Yunyun on the phone that someone would pick her up. Xiao Yunyun had thought it would be their driver, who wasn’t free then because he needed to drive Su Jianan and Lu Boyan. Then it could only be another person.

She nodded and said, “You are better than others.” With that, she sat in the passenger seat.

Shen Yuechuan had thought that Xiao Yunyun would disdain him. Hearing what she just said, however, he became somewhat interested in its meaning.

“I am better than others,” he thought.

“Did she mean that I am better than most men?

“Huh, this young lady does have good taste!”

Xiao Yunyun glanced at Shen Yuechuan smiling, so she looked at him with suspicion—There could not be any reason for him to smile. If it were not for her knowing him, she would be wondering if he was mad.

Therefore, to have someone she knew pick her up would be better than having someone she didn’t know.

Xiao Yunyun’s apartment was not far from the hotel. Within 20 minutes, the sports car running with a great roar arrived there safe and sound.

Shen Yuechuan got out of the car and gracefully opened the door for Xiao Yunyun, and as he threw the valet his keys, then he took Xiao Yunyun into the hotel.

It was warm in the banquet hall; they took off their coats and handed them to the waiter. At that moment, Su Yicheng’s assistant, Xiao Chen, noticed them.

He poked Shen Yuechuan with his elbow, saying, “Is she your new girlfriend?”

“Nonsense!” Shen Yuechuan said, “She’s Xiao Yunyun, your boss Mr. Su’s cousin.”

Xiao Chen was temporarily at a loss. He then rapidly swallowed his meaningful smile, politely stretching out his hand to Xiao Yunyun, and said, “Young Miss Xiao, nice to meet you. I’m Mr. Su’s assistant. You may call me Xiao Chen.”

Xiao Yunyun shook hands with Xiao Chen. After he left, she eyed Shen Yuechuan from head to toe and said, “How’s it possible for a man like you to constantly change girlfriends? I can see the girls today are setting the bar too low!”

Shen Yuechuan was 27 that year, who would have been a freak if he hadn’t changed his girlfriends. He wondered why Xiao Yunyun spoke ironic words to him. But he just said, “Does that bother you?”

“No. Your girlfriends must love stallion-like men, who are not my cup of tea.” Xiao Yunyun took a glass of wine from the waiter’s tray and walked away.

Shen Yuechuan stared at her attractive back, thinking, “You’d better not fall in love with such a man.”

Xiao Yunyun knew that Su Yicheng was busy that day, so she decided to meet Su Jianan first.

Su Jianan and Lu Boyan were easy to be picked out from a crowd. If they were sitting next to each other, there would even be no need to look for them because they had caught everyone’s eyes.

Xiao Yunyun suddenly stopped there and gazed across at them.

Lu Boyan was talking to someone, while Su Jianan was standing by his side, smiling, without any words. She didn’t conceal it at all that she trusted and relied on him a lot; he held her in his arm to protect her, though it was impossible for her to get bumped into on such an occasion.

Xiao Yunyun drank the wine while thinking, “I’d better not be a third wheel. Just go and look for my cousin!”
