Young Master Lu's Lovely New Bride

Shen Yuechuan stopped there with one hand on his forehead, looking at the blue sky, while casually placing the other hand on Xiao Yunyun’s shoulder. He sighed and said, “It’s a long story. You are too young to figure it out.”

Being close to him, Xiao Yunyun could feel Shen Yuechuan’s strong heartbeats. At the same time, she found that her heart was beating even faster than his.

In other people’s eyes, she and Shen Yuechuan just looked like friends, close but far from intimate.

Nevertheless, she couldn’t help feeling pleased that the words “close friends” could be used to describe Shen Yuechuan and her, which was enough to make her heart race.

However, his words did arouse her anger!

She recalled her job. Her patients had always shouted at her, “You’re just a new hand. You are too young to know a d*mn thing, aren’t you? “I want your superior physician here! “I’m here to see a doctor, not to be treated like a lab rat by an intern!” Those acid remarks made by her patients had shown disrespect for both her person and her specialized knowledge.

Xiao Yunyun had heard enough of the words “you are too young” at the hospital, and she hated them the most. She had never expected that Shen Yuechuan would say those words to her. Anger burned inside her as a result.

Xiao Yunyun elbowed Shen Yuechuan in the ribs and roared, “I’m just a few years younger than you!”

“Uh-huh.” Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun up and down, saying with interest, “That’s just enough for you to be my girlfriend.”

Xiao Yunyun was shocked by his words. She was first stunned and then confused; before she could make a quick-witted response, she blurted, “Go away! You can whistle for that!”

Shen Yuechuan smiled in a casual manner as he usually did, while a disappointed look flashed across his face.

He had always been good at hiding his negative emotions. Within seconds, he managed to appear casual while holding Xiao Yunyun closer to him. “Take it easy. You’re not my cup of tea. I was just kidding.”

“…”

Xiao Yunyun felt as if a sense of loss had gone right into her heart. She thought to herself, “I should have guessed it. I’m not Shen Yuechuan’s type.”

Xiao Yunyun took a deep breath and forced a smile of relief. “Then I can set my mind at ease.” “Answer me. Why didn’t you see it through at the auction?”

“If I had bid 28 billion yuan, we would have won the auction.”

Xiao Yunyun said in bewilderment, “Xu Youning bid 27.9 billion yuan. You bid 27 billion yuan. Why didn’t you bid a hundred million more if you could get the greenfield site at 28 billion yuan?”

“Because… the site isn’t worthy of such a high price.” Shen Yuechuan made a mysterious smile and said, “Let’s wait and see. Lu Enterprises will get the site in the end.”

Xiao Yunyun shook her head. “I’ll never understand you capitalists.”

“Same as you. I’ll never understand you doctors.” Shen Yuechuan opened the door and gestured for Xiao Yunyun to get in the car. “So, let’s go.”

After Xiao Yunyun got in the car, Shen Yuechuan locked the car and stood outside, leaning against it.

“Shen Yuechuan!” Xiao Yunyun slapped the window from inside the car and asked, “Why did you lock me here?”

Shen Yuechuan glanced back and rolled down the window. “I have something to talk with Xu Youning. Just stay in the car. I’ll be back soon.”

Before Xiao Yunyun could say anything, Shen Yuechuan closed the window again. At that very moment, Shen Yuechuan saw Xu Youning come out of the hotel, then he walked straight toward her.

Two of Kang Ruicheng’s men escorted Xu Youning. Seeing Shen Yuechuan approaching, the two reached into their pockets for weapons. “Miss Xu, he’s Lu Boyan’s assistant. He…”

Xu Youning lifted her hand, ordering them to stand down. “He won’t do anything to me. Get back in the car now.”

“No.” The two men didn’t do as Xu Youning said. “Brother Cheng asked us to protect you. We have to keep close to you.”

Xu Youning sneered and said, “But we don’t need to be too close. Do you understand?”

With that, Xu Youning walked forward. The two men moved perfectly together to keep close to her, as if they had rehearsed for it.

That was beyond Xu Youning’s patience. She turned around with a sour look on her beautiful face, then she whipped out an item from her handbag and pressed it against the belly of one of the guards. “Listen, you’re just my subordinates. Stay where you are. It’s your last warning. “Otherwise, you will end up in an ambulance!”

With that, Xu Youning placed the item into her handbag and walked straight toward Shen Yuechuan.

In order to avoid suspicion, she didn’t force Kang Ruicheng’s men to turn around, so she and Shen Yuechuan were still exposed to the two men’s eyes.

Shen Yuechuan looked Xu Youning up and down. “So it’s you, the mysterious top female agent of Kang Ruicheng.”

“Cut the crap.” Xu Youning’s voice sounded cold as if she didn’t know Shen Yuechuan at all. “What do you want?”

“I want to ask you…”

“Yes, I got close to Mu Sijue, Jianan, and every one of you on purpose.” Xu Youning interrupted Shen Yuechuan with a cold face as if she was talking about other people’s business. “I’ve always been acting in front of you. Because I wanted to win your trust so that I could fulfill the missions that Kang Ruicheng assigned me.”

“…” Shen Yuechuan stared at Xu Youning without speaking.

Xu Youning looked right into Shen Yuechuan’s eyes and asked indifferently, “Anything else?”

Her eyes looked cold and resolute. She was like a changed person, no longer the Xu Youning who had been witty and energetic.

If it weren’t for knowing that she was good at deceiving others, Shen Yuechuan would think that the one in front of him was just a cold-blooded killer who was wearing a mask made of Xu Youning’s skin.

“Nothing.” Shen Yuechuan smiled and asked, “What about you? Do you have anything to say to anyone?”

“Ha…” Xu Youning suddenly burst into laughter, which was full of sarcasm.

With that, she looked at Shen Yuechuan in disdain. “Do you think that I should apologize to Jianan or Brother Yicheng? “Oh, they’re not so close to me as you may think. They were useful to me, but they can’t affect my decisions. “By the way, for the sake of my grandma, I won’t hurt them.”

“All right.” Shen Yuechuan gave Xu Youning a calm look and said, “You’d better behave yourself.”

Without even giving Shen Yuechuan a disdainful look, Xu Youning pursed her lips and kept on walking, passing by him as she walked straight toward her car.

Shen Yuechuan gazed at Xu Youning’s back. He rubbed his chin, while an indescribable look flashed across his face. After a while, he returned to his car.

Xiao Yunyun hurried to ask, “What did Xu Youning say to you?”

Shen Yuechuan calmly retold what Xu Youning had said.

He had thought that Xiao Yunyun would get angry to hear that. However, beyond his expectation, Xiao Yunyun was quite calm.

Shen Yuechuan said with confusion, “Xu Youning took advantage of Jianan and your cousin. Don’t you feel bitter about it? “You know, they have always cared about Xu Youning.”

“They care about her because Granny Xu had looked after them. They have done what they’re supposed to do. “As for Xu Youning…” Xiao Yunyun sighed. “I can’t believe that she’s such a person. “But they won’t regret taking care of her. What’s the point of feeling bitter about it? “By the way, it’s not up to me.”

Shen Yuechuan thought for a while and suddenly said, “Yeah. It has nothing to do with you.”

“Hey, I didn’t mean that it’s none of my business…” Xiao Yunyun hastened to explain, fearing that Shen Yuechuan might think she was ruthless. Unexpectedly, Shen Yuechuan laughed.

Shen Yuechuan said with a soft smile, “It’s a lot of trouble. Your cousin-in-law and I don’t want anyone else to be involved in it. “So, you’d better not become a part of it.”

In that way, Xiao Yunyun would be safe, unlike Su Jianan or Xu Youning who were in danger at all times.

Xiao Yunyun gazed at Shen Yuechuan with confusion for a long time, finding it impossible to figure out his smile.

She wondered, “What does he mean? “He doesn’t want me to get into trouble?”

“Hey, Shen Yuechuan cares about me, doesn’t he?”

Xiao Yunyun was lost in her thoughts as Shen Yuechuan drove back to Dingya Villas.

Su Yunjin was still there, talking with Su Jianan about child raising. Xiao Yunyun walked over with curiosity and rested her chin on her hand to listening in silence. She wanted to know how she had been brought up,

While no one was noticing, Shen Yuechuan motioned for Lu Boyan to go to the study upstairs.

As soon as he entered the study, Lu Boyan closed the door and asked, “Could you confirm Xu Youning’s real identity?”

Shen Yuechuan shook his head. “Frankly, I’m not sure. “Xu Youning said in the text message that Kang Ruicheng ordered her to bid regardless of limits since he was determined to get that greenfield site. “But she was hesitant when she was bidding today. It didn’t seem that she was bidding without limits. “Strangely enough, her final bid was 27.9 billion yuan, but her offers were mostly integers before that.”

Lu Boyan frowned. “Do you mean that she knew how much we could offer?”

Shen Yuechuan nodded. “Yes. It’s likely that she knew we would bid at most 28 billion yuan. “She bid 27.9 billion yuan just to wait for us to bid more, to finally let us win the auction at the highest price.”

Lu Boyan began to ponder, while his eyes dimmed. “Maybe you’re right. Xu Youning sent us the text message to mislead us, instead of reminding us.”

Shen Yuechuan shook his head. “If that’s the case, she shouldn’t have behaved like that today.”

“Firstly, she hesitated when she was bidding; secondly, it seemed that she chose the 27.9 billion yuan bid on purpose, because she wanted to remind me that I would fall into the trap if I bid 28 billion yuan; thirdly, and it’s the most critical point… I waited for her outside the hotel after the auction because I wanted to ask her about the text message. Guess what I found out?”
