Young Master Lu's Lovely New Bride

Shen Yuechuan was angry not because of Kang Ruicheng’s brutal behaviors, but because Mu Sijue actually wanted to take risks.

He threw the phone back to Mu Sijue and tried to say in a calm voice, “I understand how you feel now, but have you ever thought about it? If we trade you for Auntie Tang, we will lose more.”

For Kang Ruicheng, Tang Yulan could be used as only a bargaining chip. He would not really kill Tang Yulan, because Tang Yulan could be exchanged for what he wanted.

However, Mu Sijue was different.

His existence was a huge obstacle for Kang Ruicheng.

Kang Ruicheng tried every means to return to City A, because he wanted to restore the status of the Kang’s family, regain some off-the-books income, and make the Kang’s family glorious again. But unfortunately, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were in his way.

If Mu Sijue disappeared from the world, one of the obstacles would be gone.

According to Kang Ruicheng’s way of doing things, he would definitely choose the status of the Kang’s family instead of Xu Youning.

In other words, after Mu Sijue offered to be the hostage, Kang Ruicheng was very likely not to persist in getting Xu Youning back. Instead, he would agree Mu Sijue’s request to be his hostage.

It could indeed get Tang Yulan out of danger.

However, Mu Sijue would die.

Kang Ruicheng was such a cruel man. Once he took control of Mu Sijue, he would not give Mu Sijue any chance to resist. He would definitely kill Mu Sijue immediately to avoid any future troubles.

Thus, it was impossible for Mu Sijue to come back.

Shen Yuechuan believed that Mu Sijue knew it, but Mu Sijue still offered to trade himself for Tang Yulan. He even reminded Kang Ruicheng that Kang Ruicheng could kill him immediately.

It would be weird if Kang Ruicheng was not tempted!

Shen Yuechuan was so angry that his temples were bulging. He roared, “Mu Sijue, have you got rocks in your head?”

Mu Sijue looked calm and said, “I have a plan.”

“A death plan?!” Shen Yuechuan said angrily, “as soon as you arrive, in order to remove you to avoid any future troubles, Kang Ruicheng will shoot you right away. No matter how perfect your escape plan is, there will be no chance to carry it out!”

Yes, Mu Sijue indeed planned to find an opportunity to escape after he got Tang Yulan back.

He knew that it was very risky, and he would probably even die.

However, after seeing those photos of Tang Yulan, he could no longer calmly consider the possibility of escaping.

Mu Sijue said, “We haven’t tried it yet. Isn’t it too early for you to conclude that I can’t escape?”

Shen Yuechuan pressed hard on his temples, trying to suppress his anger. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would explode.

But in the end, Shen Yuechuan failed and roared out of control, “Mu Sijue, you’ll die if you try it! If Xu Youning knows about it, she will be very disappointed in you.”

“…” The light in Mu Sijue’s eyes dimmed, and complicated emotions showed up in his eyes. He fell into silence.

Shen Yuechuan knew that he had stepped on Mu Sijue’s weak point. He continued, “Xu Youning is pregnant, but you are going to risk your life. Mu Qi, do you think Youning will collapse if anything happens to you? Even if Xu Youning can hold on, what about your child?”

After a pause, Shen Yuechuan lowered his voice. “Mu Qi, among us, I know best what it feels like to have no father. It means a very lonely childhood. Don’t let your child suffer the feelings of being alone and helpless. It’s too miserable.”

Mu Sijue glanced at Shen Yuechuan and asked, “Does Yunyun know that you came here to work?”

Shen Yuechuan did not tell Xiao Yunyun about it at all, nor did he dare to.

Yes, just like Mu Sijue, he was doing something harmful to himself and hiding it from the person he loved the most.

What was different was that if something happened to him, he could go back to the hospital at any time. But if something happened to Mu Sijue, he would never come back.

Shen Yuechuan snorted and said, “Mu Qi, We’re in totally different situations. You just deliberately mentioned Yunyun!”

Mu Sijue said, “I mean, you should go back. Boyan and I will deal with the things here. You go back to the hospital.”

“Why did you ask me to leave?” Shen Yuechuan said, “I can still help you here.”

“We can’t afford to offend Yunyun.” Mu Sijue said, “You’d better go back.”

“You don’t dare to offend Yunyun?” Shen Yuechuan stared at Mu Sijue and smiled meaningfully, “so, I should let Yunyun deal with you in the future?”

Mu Sijue did not answer, and walked toward the elevator. Shen Yuechuan had no choice but to keep up with him.

The elevator soon went down to the top floor, but Mu Sijue did not step out. He just said to Shen Yuechuan, “Tell Boyan that I’m leaving and we can meet in the afternoon.”

When Shen Yuechuan returned to the office, Lu Boyan soon noticed that he came back alone, so he asked, “Where’s Mu Qi?”

“Well…” Shen Yuechuan did not know whether to tell Lu Boyan what had just happened.

Lu Boyan had already seen some clues from Shen Yuechuan’s look. He closed the file and looked at Shen Yuechuan, “Tell me what happened.”

Shen Yuechuan pondered for a moment and said seriously, “Mu Qi is crazy.”

Then, Shen Yuechuan told Lu Boyan all about the call between Mu Sijue and Kang Ruicheng.

Lu Boyan lowered his eyes and did not speak.

He knew Mu Sijue well. Mu Sijue never wanted the people around him to get hurt because of him.

Therefore, when there was an emergency, even if he had to take risks, he would not give up any of his subordinates.

Lu Boyan was not surprised at all that Mu Sijue was stimulated by those photos.

Lu Boyan did not say anything, but asked Su Jian’an to tell Xu Youning about it after going back.

Su Jian’an thought for a moment and soon understood Lu Boyan’s intention. She smiled and nodded, “don’t worry. I’m the best person for the job!”

Lu Boyan smiled, opened the file and continued to read it.

He loved Su Jian’an more and more, not only because Su Jian’an became more and more charming, but also because he never needed to explain in detail and Su Jian’an could completely understand his intentions.

There would be no second person in the world who had such a tacit understanding with him.

However, Shen Yuechuan was really unaware of Lu Boyan’s intention. He looked at Lu Boyan in confusion and asked, “Why do you want to tell Youning? Aren’t you afraid of stimulating her?”

“Well, it’s actually very simple,” Su Jian’an said, “for example, I want you to go back to the hospital, but if you are unwilling, I can only contact Yunyun.”

Shen Yuechuan immediately understood and replied, “Oh~”

After less than two seconds, Shen Yuechuan made a gesture of surrender while saying, “Oh! I’ll go back right away, okay?”

If Xiao Yunyun knew that he had sneaked into the company, she would definitely watch over him like a surveillance camera in the next few days, without letting him be out of her sight.

To avoid it, Shen Yuechuan chose to go back to the hospital.

Since Lu Boyan no longer needed his help, there was no point in being a third wheel in the office.

Not long after Shen Yuechuan left, Lu Boyan also got off work and left with Su Jian’an.

Uncle Qian had already stopped the car at the entrance of the company building. Lu Boyan opened the door and motioned for Su Jian’an to get in.

After sitting down, Su Jian’an found that Lu Boyan did not get in the car. She looked at him confusedly and asked, “Why don’t you get in?”

“I still have something to do, and I need to go somewhere with Sijue,” Lu Boyan said, “Uncle Qian will send you back first.”

“Okay,” Su Jian’an compressed her lips, “will you go back tonight?”

“About 10 o’clock,” Lu Boyan said, “if I can’t go back on time, I will call you.”

“Okay,” Su Jian’an waved at Lu Boyan, “see you tonight.”

“See you tonight.”

Lu Boyan closed the door for Su Jian’an, and got in another car to meet Mu Sijue until her car disappeared from his sight.

Su Jian’an was worried about the two little kids. She wished that the car could have two wings and fly back to the top of the mountain right away.

Actually, it was a one-and-a-half-hour drive.

An hour and a half later, the car returned to the top of the mountain. Su Jian’an ran back as soon as she got off the car.

When she rushed in, several ones including Luo Xiaoxi were staying with the two kids in the living room. Xiangyi was amused and laughing, while Xiyu was yawning lazily in Xu Youning’s arms.

Luo Xiaoxi noticed Su Jian’an first, and she tapped on Xiangyi’s face and motioned for her to look at Su Jian’an, “Xiangyi, look! Who’s back?”

As soon as Su Jian’an washed her hands, she came to pick up her daughter.

Xiangyi blinked her eyes and stared at Su Jian’an for a moment. Suddenly, she pursed her lips and buried her face in Su Jian’an’s arms, crying loudly. Her voice was full of grievance, which made people feel extremely sorry for her.

“Good girl, don’t cry,” Su Jian’an coaxed the little girl, “mom is back.”

“Poor little girl,” Xiao Yunyun walked over, touched Xiangyi’s face, and then turned to ask Su Jian’an, “cousin, isn’t my cousin-in-law back?”

“Boyan and Sijue still have something to deal with,” Su Jian’an looked at Xu Youning and said, “youning, Sijue may come back around 10 o’clock in the evening.”

“I know,” Xu Youning nodded and added, “Mu Sijue called me.”

Su Jian’an hesitated for a moment and finally asked, “Did Sijue tell you anything else?”

“No, he just said that he would come back late today,” Xu Youning noticed that something was wrong and looked at Su Jian’an suspiciously, “Jian’an, what else should Mu Sijue tell me?”

Su Jian’an thought that she should tell Xu Youning the truth.

Neither Boyan nor her wanted Mu Sijue to take risks, even if Mu Sijue just had that thought in his mind now.

However, Mu Sijue might not listen to them.

But Xu Youning’s advice would work.

Su Jian’an handed Xiangyi to Xiao Yunyun and kissed the little girl on her face, “Good girl, don’t cry. Mom will be back soon.”

Xiangyi replied with a “hmm”, lay in Xiao Yunyun’s arms, and looked at Su Jian’an obediently.

Su Jian’an took Xu Youning out and told her everything. In the end, she added, “Youning, please persuade Sijue. Whether it’s for himself or for you and your child, he can’t take risks.”

“…” Xu Youning did not speak for a moment.

For now, no one expected such a subtle thing to eventually become the cause of what would happen.
