Young Master Lu's Lovely New Bride

If Yang Shanshan was as powerful as Xu Youning, it would not be a surprise that Xu Youning sweated a little in order to fight with her.

However, Mu Sijue remembered clearly that he saw Xu Youning just standing there calmly, watching as Yang Shanshan approached her with a knife.

He couldn’t see Xu Youning’s expression clearly from afar.

But Xu Youning looked like a fool who was not afraid of death and insisted on meeting the sharp knife with her body.

At that moment, Mu Sijue only had one idea in his mind—he couldn’t let Yang Shanshan hurt Xu Youning.

There was no special reason. He just wouldn’t allow anyone else to hurt Xu Youning.

Xu Youning owed him a life, so he needed her to pay back with her own.

Therefore, Xu Youning’s life was his and no one was allowed to hurt Xu Youning except for him!

In addition, Mu Sijue thought that Xu Youning was impervious to Yang Shanshan’s attack because she was sure Yang Shanshan was no match for her.

If Xu Youning could fight like her usual self, it was really impossible for Yang Shanshan to hurt her.

But considering Xu Youning’s behavior, maybe she was unable to resist Yang Shanshan’s attack.

It sounded ridiculous.

How could Xu Youning who had been so rigidly trained by Kang Ruicheng fail to defeat Yang Shanshan who only had a knife in her hand?

“Or was Xu Youning really keeping a secret from them?”

Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes, stared at Xu Youning and asked, “Xu Youning, what’s wrong with you?”

Xu Youning was stunned and her heart did a complete somersault.

Since she had already recovered, how could Mu Sijue notice her abnormality when he was so furious?

However, she did not plan to tell him anything, especially about her sickness.

Xu Youning kept calm and looked into Mu Sijue’s eyes and said, “No matter what happens to me, I hope that you can keep Yang Shanshan in check. Please make it clear to her that we have nothing to do with each other. Tell her not to treat me as a rival in love anymore. If she dares to hurt me one more time, I won’t let her off.”

Seeming not to hear Xu Youning’s words, Mu Sijue went closer to her and barked at her, “Answer my question!”

Xu Youning felt a headache coming on again—how could she forget that Mu Sijue was so difficult to deal with from before?

When she was thinking about how to cope with Mu Sijue, she saw Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi coming out with a group of people with a threatening air about them.

What was worse, Yang Shanshan had picked up her knife and wanted to try again.

At first, Xu Youning found Yang Shanshan’s behavior a little strange—Mu Sijue was standing in front of her and there was an obstacle behind her. Was Yang Shanshan going to rush over first, walk past Mu Sijue, and then stab her in the back?

If that was the case, she was certain that Yang Shanshan’s actions were just for laughs, today.

But on second thought, Xu Youning suddenly found something was wrong—Yang Shanshan was not targeting her, but… Mu Sijue!

Xu Youning’s face changed. She subconsciously looked at Mu Sijue and shouted out a warning, “Watch out!”

Mu Sijue noticed Yang Shanshan’s action. He turned around and faced Yang Shanshan as he tried to stop her. Unexpectedly, Yang Shanshan suddenly dodged him and stabbed the knife at Xu Youning again.

This time, Yang Shanshan aimed at Xu Youning’s lower abdomen.

Xu Youning swore in her heart. When she was thinking about how to avoid Yang Shanshan’s knife, Mu Sijue reacted faster than her. He clasped her decisively and stepped aside.

Xu Youning planned to dodge, too. Mu Sijue’s hug helped her avoid Yang Shanshan’s knife easily. When she realized what had happened, she found she was well shielded in Mu Sijue’s arms.

Somehow, Yang Shanshan’s knife headed toward Mu Sijue.

But Yang Shanshan had never thought about hurting Mu Sijue.

She pointed the knife towards Mu Sijue just to test Xu Youning because she wanted Mu Sijue to see clearly that Xu Youning didn’t care about him at all and could even watch him being attacked.

Yang Shanshan didn’t expect that her knife was really aimed at Mu Sijue eventually.

But at this time, she couldn’t control her strength or take the knife back—

Mu Sijue would inevitably be hurt.

“Seventh Brother, watch out!”

A subordinate pulled out the anesthetic gun and aimed it at Yang Shanshan’s hand, but he failed to shoot at Yang Shanshan. Mu Sijue couldn’t react in time. Yang Shanshan’s knife pierced into his waist. Blood gushed out, dyeing his coat dark red.

This was not the result Yang Shanshan wanted.

She covered her mouth and cried in fear. She pulled the knife out in panic, but unexpectedly, more blood flowed out…

Looking at the red stains on the blade, Yang Shanshan couldn’t stop trembling and her eyes reddened. She was lost and did not know what to do.

Xu Youning also looked at Mu Sijue in shock.

Though he was stabbed by Yang Shanshan, Mu Sijue’s expression did not change. If she had not seen the blood on the knife, she would have thought that Mu Sijue was not injured at all.

Mu Sijue always had a greater pain tolerance than others. But that was not the point.

The point was why he did that.

On the day when she was in a negotiation with Auston, Mu Sijue saved her from another person’s bullet.

Today, Mu Sijue got stabbed in order to protect her.

Mu Sijue had been saying that he would kill her. But in fact, he was reluctant to do so and he even didn’t allow anyone to hurt her.

Xu Youning opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But at this time, Yang Shanshan came to her senses and raised her knife to attack Xu Youning again.

Yang Shanshan thought that since she had already hurt Mu Sijue, it was no big deal to add Xu Youning to the wounded list!

But she didn’t know Xu Youning had been totally irritated.

The angry Xu Youning was unstoppable.

Xu Youning raised her leg and kicked Yang Shanshan with all her might.

Yang Shanshan couldn’t take Xu Youning’s attack at all. She screamed and kept stepping back with her knife. In the end, she fell to the ground, but before she could even recover from the pain, she was dragged up by Kang Ruicheng.

Kang Ruicheng picked up the knife and held it to Yang Shanshan’s throat. He threatened Mu Sijue, saying, “Let A Ning go! Otherwise, I will kill your little lover!”

As Mu Sijue was injured, he might not be a match for Kang Ruicheng. But his subordinate reacted quickly. He grabbed Xu Youning immediately and pointed his gun at Xu Youning’s head.

Only then did Yang Shanshan realize how serious the situation was. She was so frightened that she cried, “Brother Sijue, save me. I want to go back and see my father!”

Since Yang Shanshan was old Mr. Yang’s only daughter and was taken captive by Kang Ruicheng, Mu Sijue would not leave her behind.

Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning, took over the gun from his subordinate, and aimed it at Xu Youning’s head. “Kang Ruicheng, if you dare to hurt Shanshan, I will use Xu Youning as a payback.”

Kang Ruicheng smiled as if he didn’t believe Mu Sijue. “Really?” he said.

Yes, he didn’t believe Mu Sijue.

Just then, he had seen clearly for himself that Mu Sijue shielded Xu Youning without any hesitation and was stabbed because of her.

How could Mu Sijue hurt Xu Youning in order to save Yang Shanshan?

Mu Sijue noticed Kang Ruicheng’s doubts and said in a cold voice, “You can try.”

Kang Ruicheng moved his hand and nicked Yang Shanshan’s neck. Mu Sijue, without hesitating for a second, sliced Xu Youning’s neck immediately, which made her bleed more heavily than Yang Shanshan.

As he had said, he would let double the price of Xu Youning’s payback.

Kang Ruicheng’s face darkened and he stopped soon.

The doctor had warned him not to let Xu Youning get hurt, especially not to let her bleed.

“Mu Sijue, let’s do this in a fair way,” Kang Ruicheng said, “I’ll count to three. As long as you let Youning go, I’ll release Yang Shanshan.”

Mu Sijue pointed his gun at Youning’s head and warned in a cold voice, “Kang Ruicheng, if you break your promise again, Xu Youning will never go back again.”

In other words, after he let Xu Youning go, if Kang Ruicheng still held on to Yang Shanshan, he would pull the trigger.

Kang Ruicheng was anxious to get Xu Youning back. So he began to count, “Three, two, one.”

Mu Sijue pushed Xu Youning out heartlessly with his gun still aimed at her head.

Kang Ruicheng pushed Yang Shanshan away and walked over to catch Xu Youning. Seeing the sweat on her forehead, he frowned and asked with concern, “Are you all right?”

Xu Youning closed her eyes and whispered, “Let’s go!”

Kang Ruicheng glared at Mu Sijue and took Xu Youning away in the car. They soon disappeared from the street where the bar was located.

On the street, Yang Shanshan looked at Mu Sijue with a pale face and said, “Brother Sijue, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I…”

Mu Sijue looked in the direction where Xu Youning left and totally ignored Yang Shanshan’s explanation.

He didn’t expect to meet Xu Youning here today. He knew Kang Ruicheng would be there at nine o’clock, so he specially made an appointment with Auston at 10:30.

But just now, he received a text message from Auston, saying Yang Shanshan had arrived in advance.

He was worried that Kang Ruicheng would discover Yang Shanshan’s identity and have his eye on her, so he dropped what he was doing and came over.

In the car, he didn’t expect to see Yang Shanshan rushing toward Xu Youning with a knife and Xu Youning staying rooted to the spot, not defending herself at all.

Yang Shanshan knew clearly why Xu Youning was like that.

Mu Sijue interrupted Yang Shanshan and said, “Get in the car first.”

Yang Shanshan was ready to be scolded by Mu Sijue, but… Mu Sijue just asked her to get in the car?

“Did it mean that Mu Sijue did not blame her at all?”

Although Mu Sijue saved Xu Youning, he treated her well, too. In Mu Sijue’s heart, she was equal to Xu Youning, the undercover agent!

Yang Shanshan finally stopped crying and got in the car obediently. “Brother Sijue, let me help you dress your wound,” she said.

“No, thank you,” Mu Sijue stared at her and said, “Just answer my question.”

“Sure,” Yang Shanshan smiled, “What do you want to know?”

“When you stabbed Xu Youning with your knife, she didn’t avoid your attack.” Mu Sijue asked, “Was there anything wrong with her?”

After Xu Youning left, it was the first time that Mu Sijue had calmly asked her about the incident.

However, Yang Shanshan had never expected what Mu Sijue wanted to know from her was related to Xu Youning.

Yang Shanshan felt sad that the reason why Mu Sijue didn’t care about her hurting him was not that he did not blame her but that his attention was totally on Xu Youning

Perhaps, he even forgot about his injury, let alone the trifling fact that she was the one who hurt him…
