Chapter 1049 Jian’an, Shall We Try for Something Childish
Mu Sijue had a fair understanding of Kang Ruicheng and the way he operated.
He could rationally infer that Kang Ruicheng told Xu Youning about his plan for the sole purpose of putting her to the test.
On the day of Yuechuan and Yunyun’s wedding, as long as he was so heavily guarded that Kang Ruicheng coul not even get within an inch of him, Kang Ruicheng would inevitably suspect that Xu Youning had leaked the news.
However, after her return to the Kang family, Xu Youning had been living under Kang Ruicheng’s eagle-eyed surveillance. She could not have been the one to reveal the news to him.
Therefore, Kang Ruicheng would thus be very certain that there was someone working undercover in the Kang family.
The one who was helping Xu Youning.
A few days ago, Kang Ruicheng sent Ah Jin to Country C. There was a possibility that he had his suspicions about Ah Jin, so he sent Ah Jin away and then undertook an investigation.
Once Kang Ruicheng was sure that the reason for Xu Youning’s return to the Kang family was not that simple, he could basically confirm that Ah Jin was working undercover and helping Xu Youning.
Ah Jin must also be very aware that he himself would be in danger after telling him the news.
However, Ah Jin still decided to take this risk for the sake of his safety.
Mu Sijue had to take the lives of Xu Youning and Ah Jin into serious consideration.
Therefore, it was not difficult to answer Lu Boyan’s question.
Mu Sijue looked at Lu Boyan. With an indifferent look, he said firmly in a low voice, without hesitation, “I will pretend that I don’t know anything.”
Lu Boyan knew why Mu Sijue made such a choice.
Ten years ago, he decided to befriend Mu Sijue because he saw his human nature beneath his cold exterior.
Lu Boyan had always known that Mu Sijue was not a kind person, someone who would never show any mercy to his enemies.
But Mu Sijue would never do anything against humanity unlike Kang Ruicheng.
It turned out that he made the right decision to be friends with Mu Sijue.
After so many years, Mu Sijue was still the same. Just like now, even if he knew that he would be in danger, he was still willing to take the risk all for the sake of Ah Jin and Xu Youning’s safety.
Mu Sijue’s expression slowly turned cold and he emphasized, “On the day of Yuechuan and Yunyun’s wedding, I won’t bring more people with me. In addition, don’t try to help me out. I need to stay the same as usual.”
Only when he stayed the same as usual would Kang Ruicheng’s doubts about Xu Youning be dispelled.
Lu Boyan looked at Mu Sijue and his eyes narrowed. “Are you really not afraid of danger?”
“If you mean the kind of deadly danger,” Mu Sijue said directly, “of course I am afraid.”
Lu Boyan was even more confused. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Since you’re afraid, why don’t you secretly strengthen your defense when you know it’s dangerous? We definitely have the ability to hide this from Kang Ruicheng.”
“No need.” Mu Sijue smirked and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. “If Kang Ruicheng will really do it, I’ll deal with him.”
Lu Boyan knew what Mu Sijue meant.
Although Mu Sijue was afraid of danger, he was not afraid of Kang Ruicheng.
In fact, even the strongest person would be afraid of any life-threatening danger.
However, if the person who posed a threat was your enemy, your fear would be overshadowed by your desire to challenge it.
If Kang Ruicheng really took action, Mu Sijue planned to prove to Kang Ruicheng that Kang Ruicheng could not do anything to him and that he was more qualified to have Xu Youning than Kang Ruicheng.
Su Jian’an settled the two babies and went downstairs leisurely. She saw that all the soup and dishes had been placed on the table, but Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were still in the living room.
She said to them, “Let’s eat.”
Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue tacitly did not mention the call from Ah Jin to Su Jian’an, and they went to the dining room obediently.
After dinner, Mu Sijue went upstairs to have a look at the two babies. He did not stay too long and soon left Dingya Villas.
Lu Boyan followed Mu Sijue out, watched his car drive away, and returned to the living room.
Tang Yulan was making a phone call to Su Yunjin in the living room.
Su Yunjin had always felt that there must be someone in the world who could cure Shen Yuechuan. She took Shen Yuechuan’s medical records all over the world and visited every hospital in the hope of finding a cure for Shen Yuechuan.
After many visits, Su Yunjin had gained something from time to time, but she failed to find a way to completely cure Shen Yuechuan.
Tang Yulan had always been against it.
Firstly, it was too tiring.
Secondly, Tang Yulan thought that since Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue had found the best doctors, it would be better for Su Yunjin to return to City A and accompany Shen Yuechuan than to run around aimlessly.
Sometimes, for a patient, the company and support of his family was more important than any medicine in the world.
Su Yunjin replied that it was enough for Yuechuan to have Yunyun with him. She still wanted to do something practical for Yuechuan.
But now, Su Yunjin had to come back.
Tang Yulan told Su Yunjin that Yuechuan and Yunyun’s wedding day had been decided, and all the preparations were also done. Su Yunjin could just come back directly to attend their wedding.
Su Yunjin knew that Yunyun would marry Yuechuan, but she did not expect that they would pick the first day of the New Year for their wedding day. She was so surprised that she could not say anything.
Tang Yulan smiled and asked, “Yunjin, you’re very happy, aren’t you?”
Su Yunjin nodded repeatedly on the other side of the phone in a distant country. After a while, she remembered that Tang Yulan could not see it and said, “Yes, I’m very happy!”
“I understand how you’re feeling now!” Tang Yulan also laughed. She said in recollection, “When Boyan was about to get married, I was so happy that I almost could not sleep! Now your daughter and son are getting married at the same time. You should be happier than I was!”
“Yes, yes!” Su Yunjin was so excited that she spoke incoherently. “Yulan, I don’t know what to say.”
Tang Yulan directly said, “You don’t have to say anything! The most important thing for you is to come back as soon as possible!”
Su Yunjin could not help laughing again. “I’ve booked a flight already!”
“That’s good.” Tang Yulan showed a gratified smile. “Let’s talk when you come back.”
“Okay, see you later.”
As soon as Su Yunjin finished speaking, Tang Yulan ended the call.
Tang Yulan put down her mobile phone and noticed that Lu Boyan had come back. She could not help asking, “Boyan, are you still busy now?”
Lu Boyan was in charge of the Lu Enterprises, and he was so busy that it was common for him to work overtime at home at night.
Tang Yulan always persuaded Lu Boyan to take breaks from time to time.
Lu Boyan responded with a light smile. He could not relax.
Tang Yulan also knew that as long as the Kang family’s foundation was not destroyed, it was impossible for Lu Boyan to stop working.
Lu Boyan knew that Tang Yulan was worried about him, so he intentionally told her that he was not tired.
He was no longer the same as before. He had Su Jian’an and two children now.
He was no longer fighting on his own. Instead, he had the source of power.
Even so, Tang Yulan still hoped that Lu Boyan would not be too tired.
Lu Boyan smiled and answered, “Mom, I have finished dealing with my business today.”
“That’s good.” Tang Yulan waved her hand and asked Lu Boyan to go upstairs. “You and Jian’an go to bed early.”
Lu Boyan nodded and went upstairs. Instead of going to his room, he went to the children’s room.
In the children’s room, Su Jian’an and Aunt Liu were trying to coax the two babies to sleep. Xiyu and Xiangyi were very well-behaved. After a while, they fell asleep obediently. Their little hands were positioned by their mouths as they slept soundly, looking particularly cute.
Aunt Liu smiled and said, “Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, go back to rest. I’ll take care of Xiyu and Xiangyi.”
Su Jian’an looked at the two babies and was not worried that they would kick up a fuss. Then, she followed Lu Boyan out of the children’s room.
Back in the room, Jian’an suddenly thought of something and stopped Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan turned around and looked at her meaningfully. “Are you... making a request?”
Su Jian’an could not help complaining. “Mr. Lu, you really misunderstood my intentions. I just wanted to ask you what was in the bag that Sijue just took away.”
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “Jian’an, why are you so curious about that?”
Usually, Su Jian’an would not be curious about any irrelevant minor details.
Su Jian’an’s explanation was simple and proper. “Because the bag doesn’t match Sijue’s image!”
Mu Sijue had an aura of mystery and danger and carrying some lethal weapons fitted his image. It was not unseemly for him to carry such an elegant bag in his hand, but it looked rather incongruous.
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an’s enquiring face and could not help rubbing her head. “It’s the suit Yuechuan will wear on his wedding day.”
On the surface, Shen Yuechuan was not very particular about his clothing, but most of his suits were handmade and customized by a particular brand.
As Shen Yuechuan had said, although he fitted well into all the suits, only the custom-made suits could bring out his perfection for such an important occasion and role.
The brand kept a record of Shen Yuechuan’s fitting statistics. Lu Boyan contacted the brand and requested for a newly customized suit for Shen Yuechuan.
Shen Yuechuan was a regular customer of the brand. When they found that this suit would be for Shen Yuechuan’s wedding, the design director not only designed it himself, but also participated in the production process.
Su Jian’an’s beautiful peach-blossom eyes lit up. “Since the design director is also involved, Yuechuan’s wedding clothes would look great on him!”
“...” Lu Boyan thought for a moment and said seriously, “I have decided that when we hold our wedding, the directors of major brands must participate in the design and production of my attire.”
“...” Su Jian’an tried hard to hide her speechlessness. She looked at Lu Boyan and said, “Mr. Lu, you don’t have to compete with Yuechuan in this kind of thing, do you?”
“If you hadn’t praised Yuechuan, it would be negotiable.” Lu Boyan lowered his head, leaned over to Su Jian’an’s ear, and whispered, “But you praised Yuechuan just now. So, it’s not negotiable.”
“Childish!”
Su Jian’an complained about Lu Boyan and took her clothes into the bathroom.
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an’s back, and silently thought that since Su Jian’an felt that he was childish, it would not be bad for them to try to do something childish tonight.
