Chapter 22 Touched by Lu BaoYan
Su JianAn was very excited along the way to the Bauhinia Garden.
“Lu BaoYan, having a mother like Aunt Tang, you must be very happy!”
This was what she most admires Lu BaoYan.
From the start of their marriage to the present, Su JianAn had been calling Tang YuLan as aunt like before, but Tang YuLan has been waiting for her to change the way she address her.
Lu BaoYan glared at her and reminded her “Su JianAn, we are married now, my mother is also your mother.”
For Su JianAn who lost her mother since she was fifteen years old, a mother love was especially precious. Lu BaoYan’s words meant… willing to share maternal love with her?
“Lu BaoYan, I was actually touched by you… Although it is only for two years, I will treat Aunt Tang like my own mother!” Su Jianan said sincerely, “Thank you!”
“…” Lu BaoYan just wanted to remind her to change the way she address his mother.
He suddenly couldn’t bear to correct her.
Tang YuLan waited for one morning and finally able to met Su JianAn. She was delighted to wave toward Su JianAn “Jian An, come in quickly.”
Su JianAn went to Tang YuLan and let out a bright smile. She solemnly said “Mom, I am coming to see you.”
Finally got to heard her beloved daughter-in-law calling her “mother”, Tang YuLan could not being any happier than this. She had been waiting for too long. As soon as she heard it, she doubted her own ears and looked at Su JianAn with her eyes wide open, as if she could not wait to reverse the time and return to a few seconds before giving her a chance to listen again.
Su JianAn was seen a bit stunned “Mom, what happened?”
This time, Tang YuLan confirmed that she suddenly clung to Su JianAn “Good girl.”
Su JianAn also gently hugged Tang YuLan and smiled.
In the arms of her mother, she has long gone wrong. In this world, only Tang YuLan could let her relive the feeling of being embraced by her mother.
Tang YuLan’s excitement took a long time to calm down, and she remembered her son “What about Bao Yan? He didn’t come with you?”
“He is outside.”
Su JianAn’s just finished her words when Lu BaoYan came in from the outside. Tang YuLan was very happy to say “I’m going to cook for you at noon! Jian An, would you like to learn my cooking skill?”
Su JianAn was looking forward and nodding “Of course!”
“Has Bao Yan told you that this is actually our former home?” Tang YuLan looked around the whole room. “Bao Yan lived here since he was born, until that happened, we have to go abroad…”
Everyone has unspeakable scar at the bottom of their heart, and Tang YuLan’s scar was the thing that happened fourteen years back. Su JianAn did not want to evoke Tang YuLan’s sad memories. She smiled and asked “Really? Which room did he stayed at when he was a child?”
Tang YuLan handed Su JianAn’s hand to Lu BaoYan “Bao Yan, you take Jian An to see, I am going to prepare lunch for you.”
Su JianAn was somewhat uncomfortable. She wanted to pull her hand back but Lu BaoYan seemed to know her thoughts. He tightened her hand “On the second floor, follow me.”
His hand was not as rough as a normal man. His dry and warm hand wrapped her little hand, inexplicably gave her a sense of security.
However, Su JianAn knew that Lu BaoYan could not hold her for a lifetime.
As soon as they arrived upstairs, she pretended to naturally break their hand and walked around in his childhood room and looked at it. Finally, she summed up “Lu BaoYan, it turns out that you’re a boring person since childhood.”
In the large room, except for the basic furniture, it only had a large bookcase. But the bookshelf can’t find anything other than a book full of shelves. Generally, there were no comic magazines that boys often looking for when they were young, let alone those anime figure and games.
Lu BaoYan raised the corner of his lips “The room when you were young was not any better than here.”
Su JianAn herself was not interested in rag dolls and plush toys. Her only hobby was to collect detective novels and watch anime. Her mother and Tang YuLan once said that her room was not like others little girl’s room. She still remember that Lu BaoYan was looking at her eyes at the time.
She pretended to be full of enthusiasm “It was only because of my childhood hobbies… was a bit special.”
Lu BaoYan raised his eyebrows “You are different from others. I’m also different from others. So doesn’t that make us both boring?”
*Cough* *cough* Su JianAn touched the tip of his nose with guilty conscience and was busy using the only box on the top of the bookshelf to changed the topic.
“Is your toys from your childhood are stored here?” Said she as she going to take the box down.
Lu BaoYan narrowes his eyes and there was a sense of danger in it – things in the box could never be seen by Su JianAn!
His legs were long, and he stepped towards Su JianAn by three steps. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her whole person with huge strength.
“What……”
Su JianAn suddenly lost her balanced and her face slammed into Lu BaoYan’s chest.
It’s really a slap in the face – her lips were close to Lu BaoYan’s chest…
Lu BaoYan wore a thin shirt and he almost could feel how soft her lips were. His heart seemed to be gently rubbed by one hand. She dialed a bit, and a strange feeling spread in his heart.
‘I really want to… just put her in my arms.’
Su JianAn’s little face had already burned red, struggling to stand up and screaming at the culprit “Lu BaoYan!”
“Su JianAn, it is impolite to touch other people’s thing without permission.”
He blocked Su JianAn with one sentence.
Su JianAn snorted and slipped out of the room.
Watching her figure disappeared into the door of the room, Lu BaoYan took the box and opened it. There was a photo that has been preserved for a few years…
Su JianAn slipped into the kitchen and saw Tang YuLan was washing vegetables. She rolled up her sleeves and her voice was soft “Mom, let me help you.”
Without waiting for Tang YuLan’s answer, she already took a potato and cut it.
Tang YuLan smiled and suddenly remembered something “I have to go upstairs to get something.”
Passing through Lu BaoYan’s room, Tang YuLan saw her son was looking at a photo.
Probably a photo of his father before he passed away.
Tang YuLan sighed and walked into the room “Bao Yan.”
Lu BaoYan heard the voice of his mother and quickly placing the photos into the box “Mom, what happened?”
Tang YuLan took his hand to sat down “When you come back today, I presume that JianAn was the one to bring you back. I know, JianAn is more thoughtful than you, at least she had the thought to come and see this old lady” Tang YuLan laughed since she was very pleased. “Promise me, you must protect her for a lifetime.”
“Mom, you can rest assured. With me still here, she will never suffer any harm.”
His eyes was full of sure and sincerity.
Tang YuLan nodded and patted her son’s hand “I’ll go back to the room to get something.”
Lu BaoYan sent his mother to the door before returning into the room. He looked at the photo that had been stored for more than ten years before he put it on the box, and put it back in place, and went downstairs.
Su JianAn was still cutting vegetables in the kitchen. Tang YuLan took something and pulled Lu BaoYan into the kitchen. Both of them stunned.
Whether it’s vegetables or meat, Su JianAn already cut them neatly on the plate, just as beautiful as the platter. The potatoes were cut almost as thin as each piece, and the knife was comparable to a professional chef.
“Jian An…” Tang YuLan called “Don’t you specialize in knife workers?”
“Mom,” Lu BaoYan reminded his mother “She is a forensic doctor.” It was said that Su JianAn can neatly cut a dead body, then what more a potato?
Tang YuLan woke up like a dream “Jian An, I heard that the little girl from the Chen’s family was ridiculed you for being just a forensic doctor at the reception of the day before yesterday? Hah! I have to ask her to see your knife skill and make sure that she will tremble and scream when she sees you later.”
Su JianAn was speechless – It seems that her mother-in-law was not a good character.
Tang YuLan asked Lu BaoYan again: “Bao Yan, you haven’t arranged anything this evening, right?”
Lu BaoYan said truthfully “No.”
Tang YuLan smiled with satisfaction and walked around Su JianAn “Jian An, how about you stayed there tonight, then going back tomorrow?”
Lu BaoYan’s eyes narrowed indicating her to look for an excuse to refuse. Tang YuLan did not paid attention to him and pulled Su JianAn,
Su JianAn only looked happy, and nodded “Well, anyway, I have nothing to do these two days.” She just wanted to spend more time with Tang YuLan.
There was no room for recovery, and Lu BaoYan was so good that he will be embarrassed – anyway, it is certainly not him who is in a hurry.
Tang YuLan was very happy to wore the apron and started cooking.
Pork ribs soup, potato goulash, steamed squid, simmered yellow eggs, boiled cabbage heart, four dishes and one soup quickly came out. Tang YuLan let Su JianAn first taste “Try all these dishes. Only these Mom can cook for you”
“Mom, all these are enough for me” Su JianAn smiled and picked her chopstick and tasted the potato stewed beef.
She smiled happily “It’s so delicious.”
Tang YuLan smiled and said: “Then start eating.”
Su JianAn sat down and politely gave Tang YuLan a bowl of soup, and naturally took Lu BaoYan’s bowl and filled it with soup “Drink soup.”
Lu BaoYan looked at his little wife in a strange way. She smiled very comfortably without sitting on the opposite side. He also had to smile: “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Su JianAn was in a good mood, and every dish on the table became delicious. After her mother died, this was probably the most delicious meal she had ever had.
After the meal, the maid came to served fruit, Tang YuLan looked at her son and daughter-in-law with a serious heart “Jian An, Bao Yan, I have something serious to discuss with you two.”
“When are you going to have children? I want to have a few grandchildren’s.”
*Cough* *cough* Su JianAn could not control herself, and the water she had just drank was sprayed out.
