Chapter 1768 Be Good, Don’t Deceive Yourself (2)
The more Su Jianan talked, the less confident she became.
After all, she knew only too well that her argument didn't hold water.
Because she was once the white moonlight in someone's heart.
Fifteen years ago, when Lu Boyan was sixteen and she was ten, they met. They were still at an age where they didn't understand love, but something took root in their hearts and made them identify with each other.
In the next fourteen years, Lu Boyan moved to higher and further places step by step and achieved more and more dazzling achievements.
Of course, it's not that he hasn't met enough good people along the way, it's just that she has settled in his heart first. No matter how good a person appears, he can only stop at admiring her and there is no possibility of further emotional development.
So does she.
Fourteen long years have not been able to dilute her feelings for Lu Boyan. Even if someone like Jiang Shaokai appears, she is only willing to be friends with him.
Lu Boyan was like a seed buried deep in her heart. As the years passed, it had already filled her heart. Her eyes and heart could no longer accommodate other people.
This theory probably also applies to high cold.
After separating from his ex, Gao Han is still single, not because he hasn't met a suitable or good enough person.
It's because that person still occupies his whole heart, making him dream about her and keep him awake at night. He naturally ignores other women in this world.
Lu Boyan seemed to know that Su Jian'an was feeling guilty, and gave her the final blow gently: "Be good, don't deceive yourself."
"..." Su Jian'an was speechless for a while, pretending to be relieved, and said, "Forget it, you can't force fate."
Su Jianan still understood this truth, and Lu Boyan was very pleased and led her over.
Gao Han stood up to say hello in a gentlemanly manner. Mu Sijue poured two cups of tea and signaled to Lu Boyan and Su Jianan: "New tea, want to try?"
Su Jianan took a sip of tea, but couldn't taste anything special.
She was used to coffee, juice and boiled water. If it weren't for Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng's love for tea, she wouldn't even have been exposed to tea, so she understood Gao Han's frown just now and asked him to make two cups of coffee.
"Okay." The waiter left.
"Mu Mu went to the hospital this morning?" Mu Sijue suddenly asked.
"Yeah." Su Jian'an said, "But I didn't stay long and left."
Mu Sijue tapped the table with his long and powerful fingers, looking thoughtful: "Kangruicheng wants Mu Mu to come back at this time. What does he want to do?"
"It seems that Mumu is coming back this time."
After Su Jianan finished speaking, the coffee was delivered. She took it and took a sip and said, "You won't be full if you drink. Let's eat."
The waiter asked promptly: "Do you want to dine in the courtyard or go indoors?"
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianan and motioned for her to choose. Gao Han also smiled and said, "We respect the choice of the only lady present."
The temperature dropped suddenly at noon, and it was a bit cold, but fortunately it was not the biting cold in winter. Under such a temperature, it is a beautiful thing to eat hot meals and dishes in the ancient courtyard.
"Just outside." Su Jian settled for a moment and then said, "But you guys are here today not just for eating, right?"
"Of course." Gao Han smiled, "But it's just to taste the old man's private dishes."
Su Jianan was surprised and surprised: "Is this a private restaurant?"
"Yeah." Lu Boyan spoke softly, "But the old man doesn't receive guests at night, and I never had the chance to bring you here before." Before Su Jianan came to work at Lu's Group, they usually only had dinner together at night.
"Isn't it here now?" Su Jianan smiled, the corners of her beautiful eyes and eyebrows clearly tinged with happiness.
Gao Han looked at Lu Boyan and Su Jianan, with a faint smile on his lips, but his heart seemed to have a needle slowly passing through it.
There was also such a woman in his life.
He wanted to take her to see all the scenery, taste all the delicious food, sleep with her in his arms, wake up with her forehead next to hers in the morning, say good morning to each other, and then start a busy and fulfilling day. During a break, even if you don't do anything, it's nice to just be together.
But later, they got separated.
He still doesn't know if he lost her or if she got lost.
"Come on, try this old man's green and orange seabass." An aunt who looked to be in her early fifties came out with a dish and said with a smile, "The old man worked hard for more than two hours to make it."
The old lady's voice brought Gao Han back from his thoughts. He took the heavy plate in the old man's hand and said, "Thank you, auntie."
"You're welcome." Auntie wiped her hands on her apron, "The old man knew that you were coming today, so he ran to the port early in the morning to guard the sea bass and try it out."
Lu Boyan motioned to Su Jianan: "Try it."
Su Jianan picked a piece of fish, and the tender white fish slid into her mouth from the end of the chopsticks. With the first bite, she tasted the freshness of the fish and the aroma of green orange. The fresh and rich flavors were blended just right and preserved just right.
The green and orange seabass itself is a very unique Thai dish. After the old man improved it, it tastes even better.
Su Jianan swallowed gently and turned her head to look at Lu Boyan: "Can we come here often for lunch in the future?" Her eyes were shining brightly.
"I have no say in this." Lu Boyan said, "It depends on the old man's mood."
Is there anyone in this world who dares to let Lu Boyan see his mood?
This person must not be simple!
Su Jianan asked with a sense of awe: "You keep talking about the old man, the old man, who is this old man...?"
The old man is actually not old. He is less than sixty years old and his body is still quite strong. It's just that he has experienced too much, and the wind, frost, rain and snow of his life are engraved on him, making him look a little vicissitudes of life. I don’t know who started it, but now everyone calls him old man, which is also an honorific.
As for the identity of the old man...
Before his retirement, the old man firmly occupied the top position in the political and legal circles and was a very prestigious figure. After retiring, he opened a private restaurant deep in the old alley. It was just a hobby. Whether it would be open or not would all depend on the mood of the old man or the friendship between the visitors and the old man.
Naturally, young people like Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue, who were in their early thirties, had never dealt with the old man.
However, the old man and Lu Boyan's father were close friends.
The old man asked Lu Boyan to come over for this meal.
The old man is very willing to give Lu Boyan advice on dealing with Kang Ruicheng, and Lu Boyan is also willing to listen to the old man's opinions.
Hearing this, Su Jianan realized that it was not appropriate for her to continue questioning, so she concentrated on eating.
I have to say that the old man’s craftsmanship is really good, and he has unique knowledge and know-how about the characteristics of ingredients and cooking techniques.
When the food is in the mouth, the eater can feel that the old man's good cooking skills have not gone through mechanical training, but are more accumulated over the years.
He must not have a recipe. The recipes and the dosage of each ingredient are all in his mind. The dishes he makes casually but carefully, even if they are home-cooked dishes, leave people with a lingering aroma and endless aftertaste.
After eating, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue stood up, and Su Jianan looked at them confused.
Lu Boyan said: "Let's go in and talk to the old man about something, and you can look around."
Su Jianan nodded: "Okay."
Seeing Lu Boyan and others disappear behind the door, Su Jianan sighed in despair.
When she saw Mu Sijue and Gao Han here, she thought Lu Boyan was going to tell her the full plan.
Now it seems that Lu Boyan really just brought her here for dinner.
Of course, Lu Boyan didn't let her know their action plan to protect her.
However, the more this happened, the stronger her desire to become stronger became.
She wanted to be someone who could help Lu Boyan do everything, instead of just being a good-looking woman by her side.
"Mrs. Lu," the aunt who had just served the food appeared next to Su Jian'an, "the old man asked me to take you around. He thinks you might like the environment here."
"Okay." Su Jianan smiled, "Sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble." Auntie said, "I'll take you shopping first. After Bo Yan and the others have finished talking, I'll take you to meet the old man. Knowing that Bo Yan is married, the old man has been talking about it for a long time, and even made a special trip to find out who Bo Yan is married to. What kind of girl."
"..." Su Jianan was a little surprised.
The aunt continued: "Later, Bo Yan came over in person and said something to the old man, and the old man felt relieved. Today I saw that what Bo Yan said at the beginning was not an exaggeration at all."
Su Jianan's surprise turned into curiosity little by little, and she asked, "Auntie, what did Bo Yan tell you before?"
Auntie smiled and fell into memories——
That was two years ago. Not long after the news of Lu Boyan's marriage came out, Lu Boyan suddenly said he was coming, and the old man had prepared food and waited for him.
After lunch, Lu Boyan and the old man took advantage of the good weather to play chess in the yard.
In the middle of the chess game, the old man suddenly asked: "Bo Yan, can you tell Uncle Wei what kind of girl you married?"
Lu Boyan's movements never stopped, and he said calmly: "A very good girl."
The old man has known Lu Boyan for so long, but he has never heard him say that a girl is nice. When describing female subordinates with outstanding abilities, Lu Boyan usually only says that their abilities are outstanding.
This girl probably has a very different meaning to Lu Boyan.
The old man smiled and asked: "How good is it?"
"Better than anything in this world." Lu Boyan said, "I have been waiting for her for fourteen years."
"You kid..." The old man smiled helplessly, "Our Xiaoqing is still planning on you. Now it seems that Xiaoqing has no hope?"
Lu Boyan smiled but didn't answer, and cleverly let the old man win the game.
Lu Boyan didn't say anything, and the old man didn't expose it, but they all knew in their hearts——
There is probably no one in this world who can compare to the girl that Lu Boyan has been waiting for for fourteen years.
Let alone the old man’s daughter, except for that girl, probably no one has the chance to become Lu Boyan’s wife…
