Chapter 367 - Have You Fallen in Love with Mu Sijue?

Chapter 367 Have You Fallen in Love with Mu Sijue?

Dingya Villas.

As soon as Su Jianan returned to the room, Aunt Liu urged, "Young Madam, go back to the room and lie down, please call us if you need anything."

Su Jianan's latest morning sickness scared Aunt Liu. At the moment she was just like Lu Boyan; they wished Su Jianan could lie on the bed all the time, fearing that she would suddenly feel so uncomfortable that she wouldn't even be able to speak.

Su Jianan smiled. "Aunt Liu, I'm fine today, you don't need to worry."

When she was about to show Aunt Liu how good she was that day, the phone suddenly rang.

Not registered, but Su Jianan would never forget that number, which was simply a nightmare to her.

She hurriedly picked up her mobile phone and went back to the room. Kang Ruicheng's voice came from a distance, "Going back to Lu Boyan, are you happy?"

Whenever she heard Kang Ruicheng's voice, Su Jianan felt as if a poisonous snake were crawling over her feet, and a chill could be felt through the bone marrow to the rest of her body.

Despite being at home—and knowing that people around the villa were all arranged by Lu Boyan—so Kang Ruicheng could not approach her, Su Jianan was still scared.

However, no matter how scared, she could not let Kang Ruicheng notice it.

She raised her lips to pretend being at ease. "Of course I'm happy. Only people with bloodstained hands like you can't live in peace."

Su Jianan determined that Kang Ruicheng's hands had taken more than one life. For so many years, was there one night when he wasn't entangled in nightmares and couldn't sleep?

Kang Ruicheng laughed abruptly. "Jianan, you are still too naive—does Lu Boyan like you because of this?"

Su Jianan thought for a moment and understood why Kang Ruicheng said that she was naive—precisely because he had more than one life with his own hands, he could live in peace. His current status was built based on those lives; he had long been cold-blooded and numbed to it.

"Kang Ruicheng, you won't end well." Thinking Lu Boyan's father's life was one of those people, Su Jianan's voice revealed a bit of hatred.

"We're speaking of this…?" Kang Ruicheng smiled carelessly. "In a few years, you will know who is not going to end well—send Lu Boyan a message for me: I will not let you go so easily, neither Lu Enterprises. Lu Boyan should have died 14 years ago, and he was lucky to have lived so many more years. Now, he should prepare his suicide note, lest he thinks of the matter just before he dies and doesn't explain clearly, so that it won't be too late."

After being intimidated, Su Jianan was not afraid at all, and retorted coldly, "Kang Ruicheng, it is you who should prepare for last wishes. It's not just Boyan; those you killed will not let you go!"

After speaking, Su Jianan hung up the phone, and carefully recalled the contents of the call. Apart from threatening her, Kang Ruicheng didn't seem to say anything else.

His purpose was nothing but to prevent her from living a peaceful life.

Because he hid himself in the uneasiness of his heart every day. Knowing that others couldn't be at ease, it would provide him with a kind of morbid satisfaction.

What a creep!

At ten o'clock, the door was pushed open. Su Jianan thought it was Lu Boyan coming back, and rejoiced for a while, but when she looked again, she saw that it was just Aunt Liu coming in with a bowl of soup.

Aunt Liu placed the soup on the table and saw through what Su Jianan was thinking with just a glance. "The young master hasn't returned home yet. You should drink the soup first. He should almost be back afterwards."

The soup was still hot, and Su Jianan never dared to eat anything that was too hot, so she asked Aunt Liu to put it aside to cool.

After less than ten minutes, the door was pushed open again. Su Jianan lowered her head and continued playing with her tablet, saying lazily, "Aunt Liu, I haven't eaten it yet."

"Aunt Liu" said nothing, and brought the soup over. "Why not?"

"It's too hot…" While speaking, Su Jianan suddenly realized that something was wrong. The voice she heard just then was not Aunt Liu's!

Looking up, it turned out to be Lu Boyan. She unconsciously put a smile on her face and fell into his arms. "You're finally back."

Lu Boyan hugged Su Jianan and kissed her hair. "Missed me?"

Su Jianan did not deny nor admit it, then tilted her head with eyes looking bright. "Take a guess!"

No need to guess, Lu Boyan had already seen the answer from her surprised expression. He took a spoonful of soup and blew it. "Open your mouth."

Su Jianan obediently drank the soup and took the bowl. "I'll drink it myself. You can take a bath; I've already prepared clothes for you."

Regardless of Su Jianan, who just drank the soup, Lu Boyan kissed her lips, "Thank you my wife."

Su Jianan pretended to be calm, and after Lu Boyan entered the bathroom, she couldn't help smirking while drinking soup.

If one thought about it, they had been married for almost a year.

But that feeling was still very much like the first love of adolescence described in books. Even if he just said some simple words, he could still easily touch her heart and make her secretly rejoice.

When Lu Boyan finished his shower and dried his hair, Su Jianan entered the bathroom to brush her teeth. They almost ended at the same time. Lu Boyan took Su Jianan back to the room and asked her, "Why did you look upset when I came back?"

Su Jianan knew that nothing could escape from Lu Boyan's eyes, and honestly told him about the call received from Kang Ruicheng. She specially analyzed Kang Ruicheng's intention, and came to a conclusion, "There must be something wrong with Kang Ruicheng's mind!"

Lu Boyan said nothing. He took Su Jianan's mobile phone and said, "I'll get you a new phone tomorrow."

Su Jianan had guessed Lu Boyan's purpose and hesitated. "Do you also want to change my card?" Kang Ruicheng could still contact her if she only changed the phone but not the phone card.

Lu Boyan knew that Su Jianan's number had been used since high school. She didn't want to change it. So he hugged her and lay down. "Relax, I'll just change your mobile phone."

Su Jianan couldn't figure out what the use was to just change the phone, so she simply didn't think about it anymore and snuggled into Lu Boyan's arms. "What about the trouble you found for Kang Ruicheng?"

Lu Boyan looked at the time, then said, "After calling you, he may have gotten word of it. He might be venting his anger on some unlucky men under his control."

Although she didn't know what Lu Boyan did, once he made a move, Kang Ruicheng's loss would not be simple. Su Jianan rewarded Lu Boyan with a light kiss. "I want to know about Yuechuan."

Lu Boyan was silent for a moment before saying, "He, like most orphans in the United States, was sent to an orphanage as soon as he was born. The director said he only knew his mother was from City A. There was no more information aside from that."

Su Jianan said, "I can't imagine Yuechuan being an orphan."

Although Shen Yuechuan always seemed to be quite careless, in fact, he was a very smart and calm person.

Su Jianan once wondered why he had to cover himself, and right then she might have learned the answer—Shen Yuechuan didn't want others to know that he was an abandoned child, so he pretended to be frivolous. That way, even if others knew, they would think that even if he was abandoned, he still lived happier than most people.

But there was a question, Su Jianan couldn't figure out. "Why wasn't Yuechuan adopted? Because he's Asian?"

"He was cute when he was a kid, and he had adoption requests every day," Lu Boyan said, "But he didn't want to leave the orphanage."

"…He still wants to find his biological parents?" Su Jianan guessed.

"Actually, he never found them," Lu Boyan said, "I found for him once after I returned to City A. He got angry when he knew of it, and said that if I did it again, he would return to the United States and never return."

Su Jianan thought for a long time and sighed. "He just doesn't know how to face it."

"Maybe." Lu Boyan kissed Su Jianan's eyebrows and said, "It's late, go to bed."

Su Jianan closed her eyes obediently. Before long, she was fast asleep.

Lu Boyan hugged Su Jianan tight and also fell asleep.

Another place under the same night sky was not peaceful—

As Lu Boyan expected, at that time, Kang Ruicheng was furious.

Working with Mike was an important step for him to seize the market. His only competitor, Mu Sijue, offended Mike, which was a godsend for him.

But when Mike arrived in City A, his plan was actually destroyed by Lu Boyan?

He rushed to see Mike and tried his best to save the situation, but Mike always kept a wait-and-see attitude and refused to make a decision to finalize the cooperation.

He patiently asked, "What did Lu Boyan tell you?"

"He said your background in City A is not clean, and he will send you to prison," Mike shrugged and said, "I chose to work with Mu Sijue before because I knew he would never land in prison. And you, obviously, are not as powerful as him in City A, and I don't want an unstable partner. Otherwise, the person most affected after an accident would be me."

Mike asked him to prove that he could overpower Lu Boyan, or he could go straight to topple Lu Boyan to prove his strength.

After returning, Kang Ruicheng contacted Xu Youning directly.

As soon as the phone was connected, Xu Youning heard an angry voice. "You are crazy! What if I were with Mu Sijue! Don't you think that he would suspect me!?"

"It's two o'clock in the morning. If you still were with Mu Sijue, I would be very happy," said Kang Ruicheng.

Xu Youning sneered and asked, "What's the matter?"

"When Mike arrived in City A, he had already negotiated the terms of cooperation with me, but today Lu Boyan stepped in. I think that Mike will go back to City G to find Mu Sijue."

Before Kang Ruicheng finished, Xu Youning had already guessed the purpose of that call. "You want me to also destroy the negotiation between Mu Sijue and Mike?"

"Mu Sijue has Lu Boyan in City A, and I have you in City G, and we are quite capable."

"You're wrong," Xu Youning interrupted Kang Ruicheng, "Even if you are equal in strength with Mu Sijue, I'm not Lu Boyan's opponent. Also, after what happened last time, Mu Sijue will not let me see Mike again. I can't finish the task."

"You can't, or don't want to?" Kang Ruicheng revealed a warning in his tone. "A Ning, you would never said that before."

"You never told me to betray myself before!" Xu Youning retorted, facing the god in her heart for the first time, and her voice trembled with excitement.

Kang Ruicheng held his cell phone and remained silent for a long time. There seemed to be a coldness in his voice. "A Ning, have you fallen in love with Mu Sijue?"

If she weren't in love with Mu Sijue, Xu Youning would not resist it so much.

She had gone on an impure path, but her feelings were still pure, so she resisted any other purpose to have a close relationship with Mu Sijue.

Xu Youning hesitated for a while. After some time, she found her own voice. "Don't guess randomly, I just hate you."

"Hate me, or hate yourself?" Kang Ruicheng smiled coldly. "A Ning, you made the lowest level mistake."

"…Really?" Xu Youning asked slowly, "What happens if I make such a low-level mistake?"

"You know more about Mu Sijue than me. You can't always camouflage around him, so complete the task and come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Mu Sijue finds out who you are, you will be dragged down by your feelings. There will be no good results."

"The worst result is nothing more than death," Xu Youning said firmly, "Now, I will never go back."

After that, she hung up.

She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to follow Kang Ruicheng at first, and she needed to stay with Mu Sijue. If one day she found that she was wrong, she might still have a chance to make up for her mistakes.

Kang Ruicheng told her to go back, because he found that she, as a tool, was still sharp, but she was about to get out of his control.

If she went back, she would really die.
