Young Master Lu's Lovely New Bride

In the Kang family residence.

Xu Youning woke up early. When she opened her eyes, the morning sunshine flooded the whole room.

She got up and walked to the window. Pushing open the window which was fogged with mist, she saw the tranquility of the old city area.

Unfortunately, beneath this tranquility, countless waves surged wildly.

Xu Youning took a deep breath and filled her lungs with the fresh morning air.

Before she had time to breathe out, someone knocked on the door.

Without a doubt, she knew who was knocking. She walked over and opened the door. It was indeed Kang Ruicheng.

Kang Ruicheng’s face was taut and he had an impatient look about him. “A Ning, get ready as soon as possible. We will leave for the hospital in 45 minutes.”

Xu Youning nodded. “I see.”

She closed the door and went back to her room. Instead of lying on the bed, she went into the bathroom, placed both hands on the sink, and looked at herself in the mirror.

The Kang family’s old residence had a shabby facade, but was equipped with modern appliances inside. The heating system in the bathroom worked very well, blocking out the cold winter air.

Even so, Xu Youning still felt a chill spreading up her back.

The day had finally arrived.

She still had to face her unknown fate.

If she was feeling optimistic, there was really nothing for her to be worried about as Mu Sijue would already have arranged everything for her in the hospital.

However, what if things did not turn out as what she had optimistically expected?

If Auston really liked Mu Sijue, and Auston was behind everything, then Mu Sijue not only didn’t know the truth, but he probably was not even aware that she was going to the hospital today.

In this way, when she arrived at the hospital today, her secrets would be exposed little by little.

Her crisis would occur ahead of time.

Xu Youning turned on the tap, splashed a handful of cold water on her face, and felt the chill spreading all over her body through the veins on her face.

“That’s good. I need to stay sober.”

Xu Youning washed up and walked out of the bathroom, just in time to see Mumu getting up with the quilt still wrapped around him.

When he saw Xu Youning, the little guy slid off the bed in a daze, stumbled over to Xu Youning, and held her leg. “Auntie Youning, are you going to the hospital?”

“Yes.” Xu Youning nodded. “I’ll go after breakfast.”

“Umm!” Mumu was jolted out of sleepiness. He raised his head and looked at Xu Youning in high spirits. “I’ll go with you. Wait for me!”

After that, Mumu slipped into the bathroom with a “swish—” sound, as if he was riding on a cloud. Soon, there were clanking sounds coming from inside.

Xu Youning was afraid that the little fellow would hurt himself, so she went in to help him brush his teeth and said, “We still have time. There’s no need to hurry.”

Mumu spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth and said, “But I want you to see the doctor as soon as possible!”

Xu Youning pretended to ponder for a while and compromised. “Well, let’s speed up!”

Mumu nodded cooperatively. “OK!”

After he washed up, Xu Youning took Mumu’s hand and went downstairs. Breakfast was ready.

Mumu nimbly climbed onto the chair, sat down, and started eating his breakfast speedily.

In contrast, Xu Youning was like someone in a daze and her movements were slow. In the end, she came to her senses after being urged by Mumu and finished the porridge in her bowl.

After breakfast, Kang Ruicheng went out with Mumu and Xu Youning, ready to go to the hospital.

Xu Youning walked behind them. She seemed very dispirited, her eyes looked listless and her footsteps were unsteady.

Seeing this, Kang Ruicheng stopped to wait for Xu Youning. He took her hand and comforted her. “A Ning, don’t be afraid. I’ll be with you.”

Xu Youning looked at Kang Ruicheng, nodded, and followed him.

In fact, she was more nervous than afraid.

However, no matter how nervous she was, she couldn’t escape from making this trip to the hospital.

Therefore, it was better to confront it head-on.

Dongzi drove over and opened the door after he parked the car. “Brother Cheng, Ms. Xu, get in the car please.”

Xu Youning and Mumu got in first followed by Kang Ruicheng. The car immediately started and proceeded to the Eighth People’s Hospital.

After returning to Kang Ruicheng’s side this time, Xu Youning had never left the old city area. At this moment, the sun shone through the window and the sunshine cloaked her body in a comfortable warmth.

Perhaps it was because she was sick, but she suddenly appreciated how precious this warm and sunny moment was.

Because no one could predict when her life would plunge into darkness.

Not long after, the car stopped in front of the gate of the Eighth People’s Hospital.

Dongzi turned around and said, “Brother Cheng, Ms. Xu, we’ve arrived at the hospital.”

Xu Youning happened to be sitting next to the door. Hearing that, she was about to open it.

Kang Ruicheng held Xu Youning’s hand. He looked out of the window coldly and said, “Wait a minute.”

Xu Youning was a little stunned and asked in confusion, “What are we wating for?”

Kang Ruicheng did not reply, and his eyes swept keenly over the area as he looked out of the window.

Not long after, a man ran over and knocked on the window. He made an “OK” gesture to Kang Ruicheng, indicating that he could get out of the car.

Xu Youning finally realized that Kang Ruicheng was on his guard against someone.

She looked at Kang Ruicheng with a bemused expression. “Do you think Mu Sijue will come?”

“Maybe.” Kang Ruicheng sneered and looked at Xu Youning. “A Ning, I always have this feeling that Mu Sijue hasn’t given up on you yet.”

Xu Youning also laughed, but it was hard to tell whether she was being sarcastic. “Really? I didn’t expect Mu Sijue to be so infatuated with me…”

She wished that Mu Sijue was really so infatuated with her.

As long as Mu Sijue had not given up on her, he would come and pick her up, and she still had hopes of escaping from Kang Ruicheng’s control.

What she was afraid of was that Mu Sijue had completely given up on her.

After getting out of the car, Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning held Mumu’s hands and walked ahead, followed by Dongzi and seven other men. The group of more than a dozen people formed a small team, which made them very conspicuous, and people kept looking at them.

Xu Youning was not used to being the center of attention. She coughed and in a low voice said, “Let’s walk a little faster.”

When she quickened her pace, Mu Sijue received a phone call from his man in the apartment downtown—

His subordinate’s voice rang in Mu Sijue’s ears through the phone. “Seventh Brother, Kang Ruicheng brought Xu Youning to the hospital, as well as the kid from the Kang family.”

Mu Sijue sat behind the computer desk, watching the surveillance scene at the doctor’s office.

The “doctor” had gone to work and was waiting for Xu Youning in the office.

It wouldn’t be long before Xu Youning appeared on the screen.

This was the first time Mu Sijue had seen Xu Youning since they met on the street where the bars were located.

Mu Sijue clutched his mobile phone and asked clearly, “Do we have a chance to take action?”

“…” After a long silence on the other side of the phone, the voice of his subordinate slowly said, “Kang Ruicheng is obviously on guard against us. In addition to the eight people with him, he also arranged for a lot of people to be on guard around the hospital. Seventh Brother, we… have no chance to take action.”

Kang Ruicheng had always been cautious. It came as no surprise that he was so wary of Mu Sijue.

However, he did not intend to give up.

“Keep an eye on them!” Mu Sijue ordered coldly, “Contact me as soon as you have a chance.”

“We understand!” The man said firmly, “Seventh Brother, don’t worry.”

Mu Sijue hung up the phone. His man next to him suddenly pointed to the computer screen and said excitedly, “Seventh Brother, look!”

Mu Sijue saw—Xu Youning entered the doctor’s office.

Mu Sijue’s hands suddenly tightened, and his eyes seemed to be glued to the screen. He stared at Xu Youning for a moment, and his lean body stiffened visibly.

His subordinates looked at each other and left the study in unison.

They could tease Mu Sijue at ordinary times, but at this time, they knew they should leave him alone.

In the monitor of the consulting room, Xu Youning walked to the doctor’s desk and sat down. The doctor opened her medical record and began to ask some questions.

A camera happened to face Xu Youning’s face. She looked at the doctor seriously and answered every question carefully, looking quite nervous.

Xu Youning must be worried about her condition.

However, at the top of the mountain, she hid everything and struggled alone with this crisis of life and death without revealing anything to him.

At that time, how much pain did Xu Youning suffer?

With that in mind, Mu Sijue reached out his hand and stroked Xu Youning’s face on the computer screen.

When he was with Xu Youning, he had never touched her like this.

If he wanted to make up for this lack of affection, he could only bring Xu Youning back.

Mu Sijue dialed his man’s number and asked, “How many people did Kang Ruicheng bring?”

His man knew what Mu Sijue was thinking and regretfully told him, “We saw nearly 50 people and there must be some more in hiding. Seventh Brother… we can’t take action.”

Kang Ruicheng brought so many people, and Mu Sijue also knew that he couldn’t do it.

Once they took action, Kang Ruicheng would definitely resist desperately. It was not a good choice for him to set off a bloody battle in a public hospital.

Moreover, once he took action, he would definitely endanger Xu Youning.

Without absolute confidence, he would never make a move so easily.

Mu Sijue had to hang up the phone, and his calm eyes returned to the computer screen.

The doctor had finished asking the questions and made a “please” gesture to Xu Youning. Xu Youning then stood up and followed the doctor out.

Mu Sijue also stood up and took his coat which was hanging aside. At this time, Xu Youning suddenly looked back at the monitor camera in the consulting room.

Mu Sijue looked at the screen and felt as if he were looking into Xu Youning’s eyes.

He seemed to have been fiercely shaken, and then his heart constricted abruptly while a wave of sharp pain spread throughout his body.

Mu Sijue put on his coat and said calmly and firmly, “Let’s go to the hospital!”

His man closed the laptop, picked it up, and called the people downstairs to prepare the car.

After getting out of the apartment, Mu Sijue straightened his collar and strode toward the car parked at the door. After getting in the car, he ordered coldly, “Go!”

“Yes!”

His man knew that Mu Sijue was pressed for time, so he didn’t dare to hesitate. He directly started the car and drove to the Eighth People’s Hospital at breakneck speed.

The scenery outside the window was like shooting stars, constantly falling out of Mu Sijue’s sight.

Mu Sijue didn’t have time to notice that. All he thought about was Xu Youning’s eyes just now…
