Chapter 1145 Her Dependence Seems to Be Too Much (2)
Except for when he got up in the morning and lost his temper, Xiyu was usually very easy to be pampered with.
As long as Lu Boyan or Su Jian’an held the little boy, he would soon calm down and lie on the baby bed obediently, or simply sleep.
But today, no matter how hard Su Jian’an pampered him, he refused to calm down and burst into tears. Every cry accurately hurt Su Jian’an, which made her faintly feel pain.
Although Su Jian’an was distressed, she had no choice but to touch the little boy’s face and ask softly, “Do you miss your sister?”
It was unknown if it was because Xiyu heard the word “sister”, but he quieted down for a moment. He looked at Su Jian’an with his eyes covered with tears, and his aggrieved look was particularly heartbreaking.
“Good boy.” Su Jian’an continued to pamper the little boy. “Your sister is not feeling well, but she will come back tomorrow. Can you wait a little longer?”
“Mm! Mm!”
Xiyu probably didn’t want to agree to Su Jian’an’s request. He made a protest, pursed his lips, and began to cry again.
Su Jian’an did not know if it was a coincidence. She might have said something wrong.
Xiyu should be hoping that his sister could come back early, right?
She had the same thought.
However, there was nothing she could do about it since Xiangyi had to stay in the hospital for observation.
Su Jian’an was thinking about how to calm Xiyu down next when her mobile phone rang, and Lu Boyan’s name was displayed on the screen.
She picked up the phone. Before she could speak, Lu Boyan had already heard Xiyu’s crying.
Lu Boyan frowned and asked, “What’s up with Xiyu?”
“Alas…” Su Jian’an sighed, and her voice was full of helplessness. “I think it’s because he didn’t see Xiangyi after taking a shower…”
Lu Boyan’s frown deepened. He continued to ask, “How long has Xiyu been crying?”
“It’s been a while.” The more Su Jian’an said it, the more helpless she became. “No matter how I tried, he doesn’t want to stop. I don’t know what to do now…”
Lu Boyan didn’t say anything.
Su Jian’an couldn’t wait for Lu Boyan to speak. She cried and sent out a signal for help, “Boyan, do you know what I should do?”
She didn’t have much hope, but she didn’t expect Lu Boyan to answer quickly, “Yes.”
“Great!” Su Jian’an seemed to have heard the voice of her savior. She instantly braced herself and asked, “Do you have any idea?”
“I’ll make a video call to you,” Lu Boyan said, “Hang up and answer the video call.”
Su Jian’an had thought that Lu Boyan would come up with some strange tricks, but she did not expect it to be just this kind of trick. Her expectation was instantly extinguished, and she said listlessly, “Stop this. I’m holding Xiyu in my arms.”
Lu Boyan asked for a video call probably just to see how embarra.s.sed she looked now, didn’t he?
Xiyu was crying, and Su Jian’an felt heartbroken, so she was not in the mood to play along with Lu Boyan.
“Jian’an, what did I do to you before to make you think that I would joke regardless of when it is?” Lu Boyan pressed his temple and decided to restore his image in Su Jian’an’s mind. However, he didn’t expose it. He just appeased Su Jian’an. “If Xiyu doesn’t stop crying within five minutes after you accept the video call, I can agree to any of your requirements.”
Su Jian’an thought about it. Taking a video call was just like lifting a finger.
Since Lu Boyan wanted to play, she didn’t mind playing with him.
Maybe she could beat Lu Boyan in this round.
Thinking of this, Su Jian’an decisively hung up the phone. In less than ten seconds, Lu Boyan’s video request appeared on the phone and the iPad at the same time.
She held Xiyu in her arms, so it was not convenient for her to hold her mobile phone. The iPad was right next to her, so she made a video call with Lu Boyan with the iPad.
The screen flashed, and Lu Boyan’s breathtakingly handsome face appeared on the screen. At the same time, Xiangyi also appeared.
It was unknown when the little girl had woken up. She obediently snuggled up in Lu Boyan’s arms with her small fist in her mouth, and her dark and clear eyes kept rolling. She looked at the hospital suite up and down, serious and curious, and looked extremely cute.
When Su Jian’an found that Xiangyi was not feeling well, the little girl’s face was livid. She was so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry, but she couldn’t make a sound. She was completely different from her usual lively and lovely self.
At that moment, Su Jian’an was so scared that she almost couldn’t breathe.
Fortunately, when Xiangyi woke up, she returned to her usual state.
Su Jian’an felt that the boulder in her heart was finally removed, and a large amount of fresh air poured into her. It was as if she had been reborn.
“Xiangyi, I’m here!”
Su Jian’an almost subconsciously called Xiangyi, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or gratified.
Xiangyi was familiar with Su Jian’an’s voice. She looked in the direction of the voice and soon saw her mother. “Ah!” She waved and kicked like a dolphin. The dimples on her face made her smile even more lovely.
The little girl seemed to be trying to tell Su Jian’an how excited she was in this way.
Xiyu might have heard his sister’s voice. He suddenly quieted down and kept looking around.
Su Jian’an knew who Xiyu was looking for. She smiled and pointed in the direction of the iPad screen, saying, “Xiyu, look over here.”
Of course, Xiyu didn’t understand, but as Su Jian’an helped him adjust his angle, he naturally saw Xiangyi.
The little boy blinked his eyes and reached out his little hand to touch the iPad screen. The position where he touched just showed Xiangyi’s tender little face.
Xiyu was still young, so he didn’t know that he had only touched his sister’s image through the electronic screen.
He probably thought that he had really touched his younger sister, so he grinned.
Looking at this scene, Su Jian’an felt warm in her heart. She couldn’t help laughing, and then her tears burst out.
She grew up under Su Yicheng’s protection. She knew how happy she was, but she didn’t know exactly how.
At that moment, she seemed to have understood.
Her daughter was as lucky as her. She was born with an elder brother who loved her more than he loved himself.
Xiangyi also saw her brother and made a sound like a dolphin again. The two lovely dimples on her face became deeper and deeper, and her eyes became brighter.
Lu Boyan looked at Xiyu and Xiangyi with a faint smile on his face.
Sure enough, his method worked.
While thinking, Lu Boyan’s attention was diverted to Su Jian’an.
He saw Su Jian’an’s tears right away.
“Jian’an?”
Lu Boyan frowned slightly and almost subconsciously called Su Jian’an. His voice was low and gentle, which made her feel comforted right away.
Su Jian’an wiped away her tears, shook her head, and motioned for Lu Boyan to rest a.s.sured. “I’m fine. I just thought that…” She choked with sobs and could not go on.
Lu Boyan stroked Su Jian’an’s face on the screen and said softly, “I know. Don’t cry.”
He knew that Su Jian’an must have thought of Su Yicheng and the time when they lost their mother. Naturally, he also knew how she felt now.
Su Jian’an didn’t have to say anything. He understood everything.
Su Jian’an replied with an “okay” and did not go on. She adjusted herself and Xiyu in her arms also quieted down.
Aunt Liu had just made milk, so she handed it to Su Jian’an and said, “Give it to Xiyu. He needs to sleep now.”
Su Jian’an took the bottle and put it in Xiyu’s mouth. The little boy obediently opened his mouth and drank the milk mouthful by mouthful. Not long after, he closed his eyes. He drank the milk more and more slowly and finally completely loosened the pacifier.
He fell asleep.
He finally fell asleep.
Su Jian’an felt relieved all over. She put Xiyu on the baby bed and then went back to where the Ipad was.
Lu Boyan was still on the other end of the call, but Xiangyi in his arms was also gone.
Su Jian’an looked around, but the scope of the camera was limited. She could not find her daughter no matter how hard she tried, so she had to ask, “Where’s Xiangyi?”
“She’s asleep,” Lu Boyan said. “I just carried her to the bed.”
Since the two little kids were asleep, Su Jian’an suddenly relaxed.
She looked at the time and found that it was still early. It was far from time to sleep.
In the past, Lu Boyan would deal with a few doc.u.ments or arrange one or two video conferences at this time.
Would he still need to deal with his business today?
Thinking about it, Su Jian’an tapped on the iPad screen and asked Lu Boyan, “Do you still have work to do?
“Yes, but I’ve asked my a.s.sistant to postpone it.” Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, “What can I do for you, Mrs. Lu?”
“Well, nothing.” Su Jian’an stretched herself. “Since you have no work to do, you should have a good rest. I’ll go to the hospital to pick up Xiangyi tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Lu Boyan saw that Su Jian’an had not changed her clothes yet, and he guessed that she was busy with Xiyu’s affairs as soon as she got home, so she should have no time to care about him. He said, “You should go to take a shower.”
After the shower, Su Jian’an lay comfortably on the bed, but she did not feel sleepy at all.
After the two little kids were born, she had to take care of them carefully. Her workload was no less than when she worked at the police station. When she had time to rest every day, she was very tired.
Because she was tired, as long as she lay down, she would be able to fall asleep soon.
Of course, this was based on the premise that Lu Boyan would not disturb her.
Today, she didn’t feel sleepy after lying down, which was definitely not because it was not the time to sleep.
Su Jian’an didn’t know how many times she had tossed and turned, but her phone rang, indicating that she had received a new text message.
She took the phone and unlocked the screen. It was a message from Lu Boyan.
“I can’t fall asleep.”
Su Jian’an smiled and typed to reply quickly.
“I was already asleep!”
As soon as the message was sent, the request for a video call popped up on the screen. Of course, the person who made the request was Lu Boyan.
Su Jian’an accepted the video call and saw that Lu Boyan was already lying on the bed like her.
She put the phone on the pillow, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at Lu Boyan. She deliberately asked, “Why can’t you fall asleep?”
Lu Boyan didn’t hide it. He looked at Su Jian’an meaningfully and said, “Because someone’s missing.”
Su Jian’an continued to play dumb. “What? Who’s missing?”
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an deeply through the screen and said, “You are.”
