Chapter 543 She Didn’t Get a Gra.s.sland for the Wild Horse She Loved
Shen Yuechuan had met Lu Boyan before he was 20 years old. Still, he had much more love experiences than Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue combined.
Unexpectedly, Lu Boyan had never seen Shen Yuechuan worried about his relationships.
Shen Yuechuan had always wooed all the girls he was interested in without hesitation like Luo Xiaoxi usually did. The two both thought that it was natural to pursue what they liked.
The difference was that Luo Xiaoxi had been infatuated with Su Yicheng for over 10 years, while Shen Yuechuan’s pa.s.sion for a girl had never lasted for more than 100 days.
He had always ended his relationships without hesitation and bought enough luxuries to comfort the girl after he had lost interest.
Once, a girl went to Shen Yuechuan in tears, saying that she wanted to get back together with him because she couldn’t forget him.
Shen Yuechuan simply said, “I bought a limited edition Chanel bag and the latest edition Givenchy bag for you. What else do you want? Just tell me.”
The girl froze for a moment, and then she cried even louder, “I’ve long wanted a set of La Mer!”
Shen Yuechuan had what she wanted sent to her within 30 minutes and warned her in a cold voice, “Never again. Keep yourself out of my sight.”
There had been girls who were sincere to Shen Yuechuan over the years.
After all, Shen Yuechuan said that he was most afraid of the sincere girls who didn’t want any luxuries or expensive cosmetic products over him.
He had always said to them with confusion, “There is only one Shen Yuechuan in the world. How could I give myself to you?”
Those girls couldn’t understand Shen Yuechuan’s point at all, and they even thought that his words made sense. In the end, they warned him that he would receive retribution sooner or later and left him in despair.
Now it seemed that Shen Yuechuan’s retribution had come.
He became hesitant instead of unrestrained. He began to wonder whether this beloved girl adored him or not, nor was he sure if they would have a happy ending.
He still wanted to seek confirmation from Lu Boyan, although he knew that he would be ridiculed—”Does Xiao Yunyun also like me?”
Lu Boyan didn’t answer him at once. He slowly opened a doc.u.ment and read a few lines before he said, “She has always liked you.”
Shen Yuechuan was stunned. “What?”
Lu Boyan said again, “Yunyun has always liked you.”
Shen Yuechuan realized that he hadn’t been mistaken.
“So, the wicked girl likes me,” he thought.
He felt like he could burst with joy.
It was like a firework lighting up the night sky all of a sudden. He felt as if his world had been filled up with extraordinary radiance.
Shen Yuechuan couldn’t help laughing. He looked up and saw the bright sunshine outside, the colorful light of which bounced off the gla.s.s, looking rather dazzling.
It turned out that life was beautiful, and so was the world.
Everything in the world was extremely cute in Shen Yuechuan’s eyes at that moment. He would have laughed out loud if he weren’t in Lu Boyan’s office.
After a time, Shen Yuechuan gradually calmed himself down. He solemnly cleared his throat and asked, “How do you know?”
Lu Boyan snorted, “More than that, it was known to all the people who know you and Yunyun.”
“Is that so?” Shen Yuechuan asked with disbelief, “Then why didn’t I know?”
Lu Boyan said leisurely, “The onlooker sees most of the game…”
“Oh, yes, I’ve involved myself with a wicked girl!” Shen Yuechuan couldn’t hold back his smile. He thought for a while and stared at Lu Boyan in bewilderment. “Now that all of you knew about it, why didn’t anyone tell me? I’m your friend!”
“d.a.m.n it! Lu Boyan and the others must have seen how hesitant I’ve been these days. Why didn’t they give me a hint?” he thought to himself.
“Then I wouldn’t have been trapped in it!”
Lu Boyan kneaded his temples. It seemed that he was either disappointed or having a headache. “I’m sorry, we overestimated your IQ.”
Shen Yuechuan was silent.
There were two things Shen Yuechuan hated to hear: his appearance being belittled, and being questioned about his IQ.
However, he didn’t seem to be angry when Lu Boyan spoke bluntly. Unexpectedly, he gave a more brilliant smile.
In the end, he didn’t mind being questioned about his IQ because he finally knew that Xiao Yunyun adored him. He thought that there was no point in arguing about his IQ since facts spoke louder than words.
“I’ll say, how could there be a girl in the world who wouldn’t like me, right?” he thought.
Shen Yuechuan had always been a dedicated and professional man in the company, although he looked completely different when he was off duty. It was the first time that Lu Boyan had seen this kind of relieved and satisfied expression on his face. He suddenly realized that Shen Yuechuan had fallen in love.
Nonetheless, he was lucky to fall in love with Xiao Yunyun.
Lu Boyan asked, “What are you going to do next?”
“Tell her that I love her,” Shen Yuechuan said without hesitation as he pictured the scene. “By the way, I’ve never done that to a girl. Could you please give me some advice?”
Lu Boyan said with a helpless look, “Yunyun is unlike Jianan.”
“I’m different from you.” Shen Yuechuan asked, “You made Jianan so angry that she left in a huff before you could confess your love to her, didn’t you?”
Back then, Su Jianan went to a small town in City Z that was far away from him. She was even trapped on a mountain because of a typhoon and almost lost her life.
Upon hearing the last thing he wanted to talk about, Lu Boyan made a sour face. “Do you think that you will get along well?”
Shen Yuechuan was silent again.
He was facing a harsh reality—he had angered Xiao Yunyun.
After thinking for a while, Shen Yuechuan said, “I want to give Yunyun a surprise that she will never forget! I think she’ll forgive me if I do that.”
Lu Boyan calmly handed a doc.u.ment to Shen Yuechuan, “You’ll have to reach a deal with the MR Group before you do that. Xia Mili and Yuan Xun will come here for a meeting tomorrow.”
“Speaking of Xia Mili,” Shen Yuechuan asked with curiosity, “Did you ask Jianan about it after you went home last night?”
“Do you remember that the other day I sent her back to the hotel after she got drunk at the party?” Lu Boyan asked, “Someone took photos of us and sent them to Jianan the next day.”
Shen Yuechuan thought for a while and found that it had been a long time. He asked in bewilderment, “Didn’t Jianan quarrel with you when she saw those photos?”
“Do you think that Jianan is as silly as you?” After a pause, Lu Boyan said, “She thought that someone had sent those photos to her on purpose.”
Shen Yuechuan nodded, “I agree with the second half of your words. And then?”
“And I’d like you to find out who sent the photos to Jianan,” Lu Boyan gave Shen Yuechuan a task with ease.
Shen Yuechuan was speechless. “d.a.m.n!”
“In return, I’ll ask Jianan to keep an eye on Yunyun so that you can take your time and figure out a plan,” Lu Boyan said, “What do you think?”
It wasn’t a good deal. It wouldn’t be easy for him to find out who had sent Su Jianan those photos because it had been a long time since she had received them.
Yet, no one could help Shen Yuechuan to know about Xiao Yunyun’s whereabouts other than Su Jianan.
After pondering over it for a while, Shen Yuechuan agreed to the unfair deal and took the doc.u.ment away.
Lu Boyan picked up his cellphone and called home after his office door was closed. Su Jianan answered the call.
He rarely called home at that time of day. Su Jianan asked in surprise, “What’s wrong? Did you forget anything at home?”
“No, it’s about Yuechuan and Yunyun.” Lu Boyan told Su Jianan about what Shen Yuechuan had told him in detail.
Su Jianan was surprised as he finished his words. She laughed and said, “I can’t believe that Yunyun dared to question Yuechuan. She is much braver than I thought.”
“Actually, she’s braver than you.” Lu Boyan smiled. “Why didn’t you question me?” He had forced kisses on Su Jianan many times before.
Su Jianan said leisurely, “Oh, I thought you were trying to feel me up!”
Lu Boyan was quiet.
Su Jianan was more interested in Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun, so she asked with curiosity, “And what? What’s Yuechuan going to do?”
Lu Boyan thought for a while and decided not to tell Su Jianan about it. He simply said, “Yuechuan said that he had plans. You only need to keep an eye on Yunyun for the next few days.”
“She must be very sad now.” Su Jianan thought for a while and said, “That’s it. I’m going to call her.”
She hung up before Lu Boyan could say anything more. He looked at his cellphone with a helpless smile, and then laid it down to continue his work.
In the Lu Family villa, Su Jianan found Xiao Yunyun’s number and called her.
Xiao Yunyun was still in the taxi at that time.
The taxi inched its way through the morning rush hour traffic. All the vehicles on the road seemed to have broken down, repeatedly honking wildly.
Xiao Yunyun leaned her head against the window, uninterested in anything around her, let alone the traffic jam.
It was the first time that she had fallen in love with a man.
She didn’t regret it, however, she hoped if only it weren’t Shen Yuechuan. In that case, she would have enjoyed the romantic moments like having meals, going shopping, and watching movies with him, which were what normal couples usually did in a relationship.
However, she felt as if she had fallen in love with a wild horse, but she wasn’t able to get a gra.s.sland for it.
“How unlucky I am,” she thought to herself.
Her cellphone rang before Xiao Yunyun burst into tears.
It was Su Jianan calling.
Xiao Yunyun rubbed her eyes as she said, “h.e.l.lo, Cousin.”
“Yunyun, you’re off work, aren’t you?” Su Jianan said in a gentle voice, “Come to my house for breakfast. The chef made your favorite soup dumplings.”
