Young Master Lu's Lovely New Bride

At Mu Sijue’s villa next door.

When Mu Sijue returned to the room, Xu Youning was already lying in bed, looking like she was asleep.

He didn’t wake her up. Instead, he took a shower and went to bed.

After a long time, when making sure Mu Sijue was asleep, Xu Youning opened her eyes and turned to look at Mu Sijue.

Yes, she did not fall asleep at all.

It seemed that Mu Sijue didn’t intend to tell her about what had happened to Auntie Tang.

But it didn’t matter. She could take the initiative to talk about this with Mu Sijue.

When Mu Sijue opened his eyes the next morning, Xu Youning had already washed up and changed her clothes.

He frowned and looked at her, asking, “Why are you up so early?”

Xu Youning explained seriously, “Because I went to bed early yesterday.”

“…” Mu Sijue couldn’t find any flaws in this reason, so he could only go to wash up in the bathroom.

After he went out, Xu Youning was not in the room.

Mu Sijue went downstairs doubtfully. As expected, he saw Xu Youning and a table of substantial breakfast.

Mu Sijue knew Xu Youning well. She couldn’t make it, and she didn’t have that kind of cooking skill.

So there was only one possibility—Xu Youning asked the club to send the food over.

Mu Sijue was even more confused and asked, “Why don’t we go to the club and eat with Boyan and others?”

“Hmm,” Xu Youning said haltingly, “because… I have something to tell you.”

Mu Sijue took a sip of water and said lightly, “Okay, go ahead.”

Xu Youning walked towards Mu Sijue and sat face to face with him. She took a bite of the steamed bun and said, “Let’s have breakfast first.”

Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning and asked in a dangerous tone, “Why don’t you dare to tell me now?”

Xu Youning whispered, “I’m afraid that you will get angry before you are full. And it will be a waste of food…”

Mu Sijue frowned and ordered, “Speak louder!”

Xu Youning looked up at Mu Sijue and said seriously, “I’m afraid that you’re hungry.”

Mu Sijue knew that it was not the real reason. But if he didn’t eat, Xu Youning probably wouldn’t tell him the truth.

So he sat down and began to eat.

Xu Youning had no appetite. She glanced at Mu Sijue at each bite and her eyes gleamed with uncertainty as if she wanted to confirm something.

After finishing the porridge, Mu Sijue wiped his mouth and looked at Xu Youning, saying, “You can say it now.”

Xu Youning took a deep breath and said directly, “I know what happened to Auntie Tang.”

Mu Sijue frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“The photos sent by Kang Ruicheng at noon yesterday,” Xu Youning didn’t say anything more, “Mu Sijue, even if you don’t want to tell me, I already know.”

If she knew that Tang Yulan was injured, Xu Youning would definitely blame herself. So Mu Sijue didn’t want Xu Youning to know. Indeed, he didn’t intend to tell her the truth.

Su Jian’an was unlikely to tell Xu Youning, either.

Then how did Xu Youning know that?

“No need to guess. I overheard it,” Xu Youning said, “Jian’an didn’t tell me, but I heard it when she was talking to Xiaoxi in the kitchen.”

Yesterday afternoon, when Su Jian’an was preparing dinner in the kitchen, there was a sudden cry of surprise. Luo Xiaoxi went in to check Su Jian’an’s condition and had not been out for a long time.

Worrying that something might happen, Xu Youning walked over and happened to hear Su Jian’an telling Luo Xiaoxi everything at the door.

Mu Sijue said, “Boyan and I have roughly confirmed Auntie Tang’s position. You don’t need to intervene in this matter.”

“You can intervene, but you’re going to risk yourself, aren’t you?” Xu Youning suddenly said.

Mu Sijue was really shocked, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He didn’t expect Xu Youning to know that.

Needless to say, it must be Shen Yuechuan who told Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an.

“Mu Sijue, look,” Xu Youning continued, “if we must swap Auntie Tang with someone, that person would be me.”

Mu Sijue knew what Xu Youning was thinking. He looked serious and said in a cold voice, “Xu Youning, stop talking.”

“Just hear me out!” Xu Youning said stubbornly, “If you replace Auntie Tang with yourself, Kang Ruicheng will kill you as soon as possible. You are such a major threat to him. I know that you must make a plan to escape, but Kang Ruicheng will not give you a chance to carry out the plan.”

Mu Sijue asked indifferently, “Will you have any chance?”

“Of course I do!” Xu Youning said, “at least, Kang Ruicheng won’t kill me.”

“But he won’t let you go,” Mu Sijue couldn’t bear Xu Youning being restrained by Kang Ruicheng. He ordered, “Xu Youning, I’ll say this for the last time, stop talking.”

“It’s true that Kang Ruicheng won’t offer to let me leave. But he will believe me when I go back this time. I can find the opportunity to escape at any time,” Xu Youning said, “if you go there, you will definitely be killed. But if it’s me, I won’t die no matter how bad the situation is, and I could even have a chance to come back. Mu Sijue, shouldn’t you think about it thoroughly at this time?”

Mu Sijue stared at Xu Youning frostily and asked, “Have you considered the child? Even if Kang Ruicheng trusts you and you can live, what about our child? Will Kang Ruicheng let him live?”

“…” Xu Youning paused and said, “I have my own way to keep the child. I can guarantee that Kang Ruicheng can’t hurt him.”

“Tell me, what’s in your mind?” Mu Sijue asked. His eyes were like torches, blazing with anger. But at the same time, his sight chilled others.

“…”

If Dr. Liu was not Kang Ruicheng’s accomplice, then the test result given by Dr. Liu would be the solution.

She would tell Kang Ruicheng that the child had no signs of life and that there was a blood clot in her brain which would impact her health if aborting the child. In this way, Kang Ruicheng would not harm her child.

However, she couldn’t tell Mu Sijue that.

Once he knew the blood clot in her brain, he would no longer insist on delivering the baby.

“Xu Youning,” Mu Sijue said in a colder tone, “why don’t you speak?”

Xu Youning swallowed and said, “Mu Sijue, trust me. Just this time.”

“You don’t even dare to tell me the so-called method. How can I trust you?” Mu Sijue stared at Xu Youning and asked, “what on earth are you thinking about?”

“I’ll tell you when I come back,” Xu Youning’s looked at him imploringly, “Mu Sijue, please trust me this time. I…”

“No way!” Mu Sijue interrupted Xu Youning decidedly, “I won’t agree.”

Mu Sijue took a tough stance. If it were in the past, Xu Youning might have given up.

However, as this matter concerned Auntie Tang’s life, she could not give up easily.

“Mu Sijue!” Xu Youning said seriously, “Can you think about Auntie Tang? Kang Ruicheng has begun to hurt her, and she would have a harder time in the following days! And have you ever thought about how much Boyan and Jian’an are worrying about her?”

“Even so,” Mu Sijue said word by word in a low voice, “I won’t let you go back.”

“I’m really confident,” Xu Youning pleaded, “Mu Sijue, I’m begging you. Believe me this time, okay?”

Mu Sijue was too tired to refuse again. So he threatened her directly, “Xu Youning, you’d better drop this idea. If you mention it one more time, I may handcuff you at home again.”

“…” Xu Youning couldn’t help satirizing him, saying, “Mu Sijue, what else can you do besides violence and threats?”

“You know what else I can do,” Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning’s belly and said, “if you really forget, I can let you experience it again in a few months.”

“…” Xu Youning couldn’t help glaring at Mu Sijue.

Mu Sijue snorted and said, “You’re right to ask me to have breakfast first.”

Xu Youning sneered and took a step back. “I know you well. Mu Sijue, are you full now?”

“Yes,” Mu Sijue said frankly, “partially because of you.”

“…” Xu Youning could only say, “You’re full. That’s good…”

Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and warned her, “Xu Youning, I’ll say it again. I don’t want to hear you mention what you said this morning again.”

Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue and asked diffidently, “What about asking you to have breakfast?”

“Did you do it on purpose?” Mu Sijue’s voice was full of homicidal intention.

Xu Youning shivered and said in a hurry, “Go. I’m in danger while you are around me.”

Mu Sijue still wanted to say something, but a bodyguard happened to come in and said, “Seventh Brother, Mr. Lu asked when can you leave?”

Xu Youning felt as if she grabbed a life-saving straw and silently thanked Lu Boyan a hundred times in her heart.

Of course, Mu Sijue noticed Xu Youning’s joy. He glanced at her and said, “Wait for me at home. I need to see you here when I come back.”

At that time, Xu Youning could only agree, saying, “I will.”

Mu Sijue didn’t say anything more. He left the villa to meet Lu Boyan.

Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue’s back, and the smile on her face disappeared little by little.

Mu Sijue still didn’t agree with her.

Should she give up or find another way?

As for Mu Sijue, he soon arrived at the apron and found Lu Boyan was already in the private plane, reading the company’s documents.

Seeing Mu Sijue getting on, Lu Boyan reminded him lightly, “You’re late.”

“Xu Youning caused some trouble,” Mu Sijue sat down and took a sip of tea, “she persuaded me to swap Auntie Tang with her.”

Lu Boyan browsed through the documents calmly and said, “As long as you don’t let her go back, what can she do?”

“…” Mu Sijue didn’t say anything.

Lu Boyan felt that something was wrong. He closed the file and looked at Mu Sijue, asking, “What are you thinking about?”

After a long time, Mu Sijue looked up and said, “I’m a little worried.”

If it was someone else, Lu Boyan might not feel anything special.

However, the one in front of him was Mu Sijue, a decisive person.

What made him worried was definitely not ordinary.
