was driving, which was why his car was devoid of any CDs in the past.
But ever since Su Jianan began riding his car back from work, the CD compartment of his car was loaded with all kinds of CDs.
Lu Boyan did not raise any objections to the addition.
In fact, on some occasions, he would even launch into discussions with Su Jianan about which singers had superior voices.

Right now, Su Jianan was playing the song of the singer that he hated the most.
He frowned and asked Su Jianan to switch to another song.
Su Jianan just smiled at him, ”Actually, this song sounds nice when I sing it. ”

Lu Boyan raised his brows; his eyes held nothing but doubt.

”Don ’t you believe me? ” Su Jianan tilted her chin upwards challengingly.
”I ’ll sing it to you next time! ”

”Are you sure you won ’t end up scarring me for life? ” Lu Boyan commented drily.

”… ” She would have socked him twice if Lu Boyan was not driving right now.

They spent the rest of the car ride in an amiable and relaxing manner.
When they arrived at the police office, Su Jianan suddenly realized something— right now, her life with Lu Boyan was no different than that of a real married couple.

Other than the fact that they had not consummated their marriage, other than the fact that they had agreed to a two-year marriage before they had even gotten their marriage license, everything else about their life together showed that they had become an actual married couple.

Except that she had no idea if their relationship could even last long and forever like those of real married couples.

On another side of the city, Lu Boyan arrived at the company.
The moment he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Shen Yuechuan trailing after him with a gloomy expression.
Lu Boyan released a rare laugh.
”This is the first time I ’ve skipped work in seven or eight years.
Aren ’t you overreacting a little? ” He joked.

”Old Mu is here.
He ’s in your office right now. ”

Due to the sensitive nature of his identity, Mu Sijue never once came to Lu Enterprises.
But today, Mu Sijue had arrived at Lu Boyan ’s office completely unannounced.
Plus, with the way, Shen Yuechuan ’s face was looking…

The smile vanished from Lu Boyan ’s countenance.
He stepped into his office with Shen Yuechuan.
At their entrance, Mu Sijue lifted his chin in greeting.
”Have a seat.
There ’s something I need to tell you. ”

Mu Sijue stared at Lu Boyan.
There was an unprecedented look of distress in Mu Sijue ’s eyes.

Lu Boyan knew right then that this was not a simple matter.
He leaned back against the couch and crossed his legs.
”Give it to me straight. ”

”I ’ve got the word about it a month ago.
I didn ’t know for sure until fairly recently, ” Mu Sijue said.
There was a brief pause.
”He ’s returned to City A. ”

The three of them knew better than anyone else who this ”he ” was.

All these years, with Mu Sijue working the dark, and Lu Boyan working in the light with Shen Yuechuan ’s assistance, the three of them had been widening their influence and securing their power.
All that, so that they could finally face that person in a head to head showdown.

Lu Boyan knew that he would return for sure; he would return to reclaim all the things belonging to the Kang Family, and he would try to restore the Kang Family to its former glory.
What Lu Boyan had not anticipated was for the man ’s return to be so soon.

”What do we do? ” Shen Yuechuan asked with a frown.
Shen Yuechuan was the type who could smile no matter what kind of trouble he was thrown into.
For the first time in his life, Shen Yuechuan was frowning in the face of an obstacle.

”This day is bound to come anyway.
All the preparations we ’ve made all these years, aren ’t they for the arrival of this very day? ” A look of danger was slowly creeping into Lu Boyan ’s profound eyes.
”The earlier he returns, the sooner we can deal with him. ”

Shen Yuechuan steepled his fingers.
”No.
I ’m not worried about Kang ’s return at all.
I ’ve been waiting for the coming of this battle for a long time.
What I ’m asking is, what should we do about Jianan? ”

Mu Sijue glanced at Lu Boyan.

Lu Boyan, on the other hand, descended into silence.

With his brows drawn together and his lashes lowered, he looked like a commander in chief about to make a tough decision.
Hesitance and indecision flashed across his eyes before he closed them.
”I don ’t know. ”

For the first time in his life, Shen Yuechuan heard those three words coming out of Lu Boyan ’s mouth.

He had always been the invincible, decisive, and quasi-omnipotent Lu Boyan.
His far-reaching vision and shrewdness would always ensure that things went smoothly as planned.
To many, he led a godlike existence.

Never in the man ’s life had he claimed to be clueless about something.
But now, Shen Yuechuan believed that Lu Boyan had no idea how to handle Su Jianan.

”I ’ve already told her the worst case scenario before we got married, ” Lu Boyan said, raising his head.
His eyes looked sharp and confident once again.
”Right now the priority is to deal with Su Hongyuan. ”

Shen Yuechuan understood where Lu Boyan was coming from.
He was looking out for Su Jianan ’s future; no matter what happened, he wanted Su Jianan to live out the rest of her life safely.

”Look, man.
Maybe it ’s because I don ’t know anything about this romance mumbo jumbo, that ’s why I don ’t understand what you ’re doing here, ” Mu Sijue said.
”But why are you hiding everything from her? Did it ever cross your mind that she might want to know about these things too? ”

”No.
She wouldn ’t want to know.
I don ’t want her to know either, ” Lu Boyan said.
”She had been living a clean life for the past 20 years or so.
I don ’t want to drag her into the darkness with me.
Besides…
She has someone she likes. ”

Yes.
The fact that Su Jianan had someone she liked was one thing that Lu Boyan had never forgotten.

”Holy shit! ” Shen Yuechuan exclaimed.
”I would ’ve forgotten all about that if you hadn ’t reminded me.
Back then, Luo Xiaoxi did mention that there ’s some guy whom Jianan ’s been crushing on for many years.
Then again, seeing her together with you for the past six months…
I wonder why I failed to remember this particular thing? ”

Mu Sijue chuckled.
”Because they seemed like they have the hots for each other, that ’s why, ” Mu Sijue said, hitting the nail right on the head.

”Damn right! ” Inwardly, Shen Yuechuan gave Mu Sijue kudos.
Smiling, Shen Yuechuan glanced at Lu Boyan.
”Maybe you ’ve already captured your Jianan ’s heart after you two got married, and you just didn ’t know it? ”

”Shut the hell up, all of you, ” Lu Boyan growled, his cold gaze sweeping from Mu Sijue to Shen Yuechuan.
”If either of you let it slip before Jianan, don ’t ever think about showing your face in City A. ”

Yeah, as if Shen Yuechuan was afraid of Lu Boyan ’s threat.
He resumed teasing Lu Boyan to his heart ’s content.
”Say, I don ’t get you, man.
You ’ve got the guts to have me alone as your backup last time during the business negotiation with that highly dangerous person in Cambodia.
And yet you ’re chickening out when it comes to letting your wife know you— oww! ”

Lu Boyan kicked him before he could finish.
