Chapter 948 Comparisons Were Odious
Thinking of something, Su Jian’an suddenly blushed.
Lu Boyan was looking at Su Jian’an carefully. Seeing her fair-skinned cheeks gradually turning red, he frowned and asked, “Jian’an, what are you thinking about?”
Su Jian’an didn’t know how to respond.
How could she tell Lu Boyan that she thought of another kind of exercise?
“I’m talking about the exercise we’ve agreed on,” Lu Boyan raised the corner of his mouth, smiling, “what are you thinking of?”
“I’m wondering whether to set a high goal or a low one,” Su Jian’an blurted out, trying to conceal her awkwardness.
Lu Boyan responded calmly, “How do you define the ‘high’ and ‘low’?”
“5 kilometers and 3 kilometers!”
Su Jian’an was ready to risk herself—5 kilometers was an insurmountable peak for her.
But for Lu Boyan, 5 kilometers was not even enough to warm up.
If it was said by others, Lu Boyan would immediately abandon this weak teammate.
However, Su Jian’an was his wife and the mother of his two children.
He could only accept this teammate and teach her from the beginning, just as guiding their sexual life.
Lu Boyan patted Su Jian’an’s head and said softly, “Let’s start with 3 kilometers on the first day.”
Without any doubt, Su Jian’an changed into sportswear and sneakers with Lu Boyan.
In order to avoid sports injury, Lu Boyan led Su Jian’an to warm up first.
Since Su Jian’an did not have much experience, many of her movements were not standard enough. Lu Boyan said she would hurt herself in this way.
Su Jian’an shrugged and asked, “Then how should I do it?”
As it was hard to describe by spoken words, Lu Boyan could only teach Su Jian’an step by step, which made body contact inevitable.
To be honest, Su Jian’an and Lu Boyan had had much closer body contact than this movement guidance.
But at this time, the sportswear made Lu Boyan more manly and sexy. Su Jian’an even felt that his body temperature was much higher than usual, full of lure.
When doing the last movement, Su Jian’an’s back was against Lu Boyan’s chest. She could feel his strong heartbeat.
Su Jian’an really felt that she didn’t need to warm up.
If she got warmer, she would explode.
Fortunately, the second before Su Jian’an was about to “explode”, Lu Boyan stopped and asked, “How do you feel now?”
“Very good!” Su Jian’an did not dare to look at Lu Boyan, “I feel I can run 300 kilometers!”
“Jian’an,” Lu Boyan suddenly asked, “why is your face so red?”
Su Jian’an would not tell Lu Boyan the real reason. She grabbed at an excuse, saying, “I blush once I exercise!”
Lu Boyan took a deep look at Su Jian’an, responding, “I believe it.”
“Eh?” Su Jian’an was much surprised, “are you so easy to be fooled?”
“I just remembered something,” said Lu Boyan.
Su Jian’an turned from surprise to curiosity. “What’s it?” She asked.
Lu Boyan lowered his magnetic voice and whispered in Su Jian’an’s ear, “Sometimes, even if you don’t move, you will blush.”
Su Jian’an felt as if she was struck by lightning.
She knew what Lu Boyan was talking about.
She pretended not to understand and said, “I’ll run 3 kilometers first. Record the distance for me.”
Su Jian’an was totally a green hand in running.
In Lu Boyan’s words, she was crawling at a tortoise’s speed instead of running. He could catch up with her just by walking at big steps.
In less than two minutes, Su Jian’an was already out of breath.
Even so, she still paid attention to her running form and asked Lu Boyan, “Do I look ugly?”
“No,” Lu Boyan’s breath was the same as usual, “you have a beautiful face and you already win others.”
Su Jian’an was very jealous of Lu Boyan.
Why was Lu Boyan not tired at all when she was panting like this?
Lu Boyan was awesome. As Mrs. Lu, how could she be so weak?
Unwilling to fall behind, Su Jian’an felt full of strength.
She exerted herself and ran for another two minutes. Her tread gradually became heavier. Obviously, she couldn’t hold on any longer.
Lu Boyan didn’t want to push Su Jian’an too hard. So he grabbed her and said, “Jian’an, have a rest.”
Su Jian’an stopped and felt like her heart was about to jump out and her chest was swollen to explode.
She gasped for air and looked at Lu Boyan, unable to say a word. Her legs were so sore and numb that she couldn’t feel them.
“Breathe as usual, not too fast, or you’ll choke,” Lu Boyan opened a bottle of water and handed it to Su Jian’an, “drink some water.”
Su Jian’an had a few swallows and fell into Lu Boyan’s arms, asking, “How far have I run?” Please, told her that she had finished the 3 kilometers.
Lu Boyan did not give a specific number but said, “I will tell you after running for 3 kilometers.”
Su Jian’an nodded, put her hands on her waist, and gasped, “Can I walk for a while? I won’t count it into the 3 kilometers.”
“Of course,” Lu Boyan wiped the sweat from Su Jian’an’s forehead, “let’s walk for four minutes.”
After walking for a while, Su Jian’an got her breath and could speak as normal. “Let’s continue,” she said.
Because of muscle soreness in her legs, Su Jian’an ran much slower this time. Lu Boyan really strode beside her leisurely. In comparison, the breathless Su Jian’an’s looked... weak.
Su Jian’an only felt an abyss of disgrace!
She must get rid of this humiliation within twenty days!
Knowing Su Jian’an very well, Lu Boyan soon notice that she was unhappy. So he began to run slowly and patted her head, saying, “You’ve just begun. You don’t need to compare yourself to me.”
Su Jian’an said angrily, “What if I insist on competing with you?”
Lu Boyan sighed and responded, “Jian’an, comparisons are odious.”
Su Jian’an was speechless.
She swore that before she finished the 3 kilometers, she would not talk to Lu Boyan.
After running around her garden for countless circles, Su Jian’an finally asked, “Honey, how far have I run?”
Lu Boyan looked at the sports watch on his wrist and answered, “5 kilometers.”
Su Jian’an suddenly stopped and widened her eyes, feeling like every single cell in her body was heating. “I ran 5 kilometers?” Asked she.
“Yes,” Lu Boyan smiled, “it’s easier than you thought, isn’t it?”
Su Jian’an couldn’t agree with him. She shook her head and said with a crying face, “Actually, I’m worn out.”
Lu Boyan took Su Jian’an’s hand, saying, “Let’s go inside.”
They went back to the gym from the back door of the garden.
Su Jian’an began to stretch herself while watching Lu Boyan doing exercise in the fitness facilities.
She had to admit that it was a feast for her eyes—Lu Boyan was too handsome while working out.
In order not to be obsessed with the beauty of her husband, Su Jian’an decided to find a topic to talk about. She said, “Boyan, how can we confirm the number on the note on Doctor Liu’s desk is the contact information of Sijue?”
Lu Boyan said casually, “I will send someone to sneak into Doctor Liu’s office.”
Su Jian’an paused and then said, “Then... I’ll leave it to you.”
Lu Boyan responded, “Sure, I’ll handle difficult things.”
Su Jian’an soon realized that Lu Boyan meant she was weak.
She picked up a boxing glove from the ground and threw it to Lu Boyan. Then, she quickly ran upstairs to her room to shower.
After washing off her sweat, Su Jian’an felt refreshed. She put on her jacket and went to the children’s room next door to see the two little guys.
The temperature in the children’s room was suitable so that Xiyu and Xiangyi slept very well. Aunt Liu was accompanying them, knitting sweaters for them at the same time.
Su Jian’an said to her, “Aunt Liu, the light is bad. Leave the sweater and go to bed early.”
To guarantee the sleep quality of the two little guys, only one table lamp beside Aunt Liu’s bed was lit in the room. The 5-watt warm light bulb was not strong enough to illuminate a 40-square-meter room.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve been doing knitting for decades. Very proficient in it. I don’t need too much light,” Aunt Liu said, “but I think you’d better rest early. You need to work at the company and take care of the old lady these days. You must be tired.”
But Su Jian’an did not feel very tired, so she started to learn knitting from Aunt Liu.
After an hour, Aunt Liu said she was sleepy. So Su Jian’an told her to have a good rest and then went to the study next door.
Sure enough, Lu Boyan was there, having a video conference with the senior managers of the overseas branch.
Su Jian’an did not disturb him. She took a book from the bookshelf and started reading on the sofa with a blanket covering her.
She yawned after reading less than 30 pages. So she put the book on her chest, tucked herself in the cashmere blanket and closed her eyes.
Lu Boyan finished his meeting. As soon as he turned off the camera, he heard something falling on the ground. Looking in the direction of the sound, he found Su Jian’an’s book plopped on the carpet.
He walked over and found Su Jian’an was indeed asleep.
Lu Boyan pinched Su Jian’an’s nose and called her, “Jian’an.”
“...” Su Jian’an did not respond.
Playing a trick on her, Lu Boyan swept her cheek with her hair. “Jian’an?” He called again.
“Hmm...” Su Jian’an murmured.
She turned over and buried her face in the pillow.
Lu Boyan knew he could not wake Su Jian’an up like this. If he played too hard, Su Jian’an would definitely lose her temper when she opened her eyes.
After a busy day, he would have no energy to deal with a lion-like Su Jian’an.
Therefore, Lu Boyan carried Su Jian’an back to her room.
In fact, Su Jian’an was not completely asleep. She could feel Lu Boyan was calling and teasing her, but she didn’t want to wake up.
As expected, Lu Boyan carried her back to the room.
Lying on the bed, Su Jian’an felt completely relieved. She curled up in the quilt and threw herself into sleep.
After some time, Su Jian’an suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The quilt seemed to be lifted. She felt cold on her legs and someone was touching her legs up and down...
Being so familiar with the hands, she was sure it was Lu Boyan.
The key point was what was Lu Boyan doing?
“Hmm...”
Su Jian’an protested in a half-awake state. She kicked her legs, trying to make Lu Boyan release her.
However, instead of loosening his grip, Lu Boyan pressed her leg with more strength and ordered, “Jian’an, don’t move!”
