A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 754 - Huh? Mu Sijue Likes Her?

Chapter 754 Huh? Mu Sijue Likes Her?

After that, Mu Sijue hung up the phone. He saw Jie and the others driving over in the rearview mirror. It seemed that they were going to help him force a path for him.

“Seventh Brother, wait a minute!” As expected, Jie’s voice was heard on the walkie-talkie. “We’ll get rid of those bastards and clear the way immediately!”

Mu Sijue picked up the walkie-talkie and said slowly, “No, you can go back.”

Jie was stunned and asked, “Why?”

Mu Sijue didn’t answer. He turned off the walkie-talkie and looked at the road ahead—

He couldn’t see anything. Xu Youning and Kang Ruicheng’s car had long disappeared from his sight.

There were only a few street lamps left on the long road, which cast beams of dim yellow light and barely lit up the night.

Mu Sijue stared at the last beam of light he was able to see. He finally turned the car around and returned to the villa after a long time passed.

He was wrong.

Even after treating Xu Youning well, telling her over and over that she belonged to him, the one who occupied Xu Youning’s heart had always been Kang Ruicheng.

He had always been just a target for her mission. The person who had the deepest understanding with her was Kang Ruicheng.

No matter what Xu Youning had told him or done, she just wanted to complete her mission smoothly.

It was ridiculous, to have taken it seriously. He even wanted to get her back after she finished her mission and gone back to Kang Ruicheng.

Xu Youning had never thought of staying with him. How could he get her back?

They were supposed to be against each other, instead of being in harmony with each other every day and night.

The servant had been awakened by the noise just then. When she woke up, she had heard word that Xu Youning had seemed to be uncomfortable. While she wondered if she could help, she saw Mu Sijue going back.

She almost subconsciously went up to him and said, “Mr. Mu...”

She wanted to ask about Xu Youning, only to find that Mu Sijue returned alone.

Mu Sijue’s face was frighteningly cold; his dark eyes seemed to contain two beasts that were ready to attack, which made people feel the need to keep some distance from him.

The servant didn’t dare to ask anything in the end. She stepped back silently and watched Mu Sijue go upstairs, step by step.

Mu Sijue left in a hurry with Xu Youning in his arms. He didn’t even have time to close the door; the clothes and supplies left by Xu Youning came into view as soon as he returned to the door.

Those things which still had her scent, it was a reminder that Xu Youning had really been there.

While in a trance, he felt that there were traces of Xu Youning everywhere in the room and the house.

Mu Sijue abruptly stopped at the door of the room. After a while, he turned around and left without hesitation.

“Seventh Brother,” seeing Mu Sijue go out, Jie ran over and asked worriedly, “It’s so late. Where are you going?”

Mu Sijue didn’t say anything and went straight to the garage. Jie followed him and kept a certain distance from him.

After getting in the car, Mu Sijue stepped hard on the accelerator, and the car sped away from the villa. Not even a good driver like Jie would have caught up with him.

Without guessing, Jie knew that Mu Sijue had been influenced by Xu Youning.

However, even if he escaped from that place, would his memories related to Xu Youning be expelled from his mind?

Mu Sijue—who was so powerful and was feared by everyone in City G—was actually trying to escape from the memories related to a woman. It was an unheard-of story to be told.

Jie was very curious about what kind of feelings Xu Youning had for Mu Sijue.

When they were in Mexico, they could feel that Xu Youning liked Mu Sijue. Now that she had finally returned to Mu Sijue, why did she have to try her hardest to leave?

Only Xu Youning knew the answer to that question, which had completely baffled Jie.

She wanted to avenge her grandmother and help Lu Boyan bring down Kang Ruicheng who was a devil. She could only go back to be with Kang Ruicheng.

Compared with Mu Sijue, Kang Ruicheng trusted her completely. She would perfectly be able to work undercover.

After Kang Ruicheng’s car drove away for a while, there was a lonely road trailing behind them.

Xu Youning was finally sure that Kang Ruicheng had shaken Mu Sijue off, or that Mu Sijue had not even tried to chase after them.

She should have felt relieved.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not pretend to be happy, at all.

She recalled Mu Sijue’s figure as he stood under the street lamp again and again—his stiff body, his disappointed look, the deep pain in his eyes... They kept appearing in her mind.

Did she really make Mu Sijue so sad by insisting on running away?

Why?

“Because Mu Sijue likes me?”

Xu Youning immediately denied it.

She had lied to Mu Sijue, betraying him in the end. Mu Sijue couldn’t wait to kill her in the most ruthless manner. How could he like her?

He was Mu Sijue, the most powerful and terrifying man in City G. He was neither a psychotic nor a masochist. How could he like her?

Realizing this, Xu Youning found something even worse—she seemed to be even more unhappy.

Kang Ruicheng kept paying attention to the road, checking whether Mu Sijue had caught up with them or not. For a moment, he didn’t notice Xu Youning’s abnormal behavior. He just asked, “Were you hurt just now?”

Xu Youning looked down at herself, only to find that Mu Sijue had helped her put on his clothes in a hurry. The clothes were imbued with his smell. As soon as she lowered her head, his unique smell would clearly seep into her nostrils.

However, she could no longer go back.

Xu Youning held her clothes tightly. She had an impulse to cry for some reason.

Kang Ruicheng thought that she was seriously injured, so he asked worriedly, “Where did you get hurt?”

Only then did Xu Youning come to her senses. She shook her head and said, “It’s not a big deal. There are just some scratches on my hands and knees.”

Speaking of this, Xu Youning suddenly remembered when she had been in Mu Sijue’s car.

If Mu Sijue had not stepped on the brakes to slowed the car, she would have at least broken some bones.

She had been ready to get hurt before she jumped out of the car, but she wasn’t worried since she had Kang Ruicheng’s cooperation.

Mu Sijue had clearly noticed her intention when she placed her hand on the door handle. Why did he still decide to stop?

Shouldn’t he have locked the car door to stop her from escaping?

By the way, why did Mu Sijue forget to lock the door while driving?

Previously, whether he took her back from the hospital or drove her to the hospital to see Xiao Yunyun, Mu Sijue would never forget to lock the car, avoiding any opportunities for her to escape.

Looking back even further, Xu Youning found the weirdest thing—if she had been able to notice that Kang Ruicheng’s men were following them when she felt at ease, why did Mu Sijue who was driving didn’t notice and simply rushed to the hospital recklessly?

Xu Youning could guess the answers according to all those abnormalities.

Every answer denied the possibility that Mu Sijue didn’t like her, which made her feel ecstatic.

However, she wasn’t sure. She didn’t dare to show any joy.

She would lose all her face if the answer was not as she had thought.

But what if it was true?

“Is it really not serious?” Kang Ruicheng asked with concern.

“Yeah.” Xu Youning couldn’t help smiling. “Let’s go back first. I’m afraid that Mu Sijue will still try to catch up with us. I would rather die than be caught by him at this point.”

Well, her sentence was said contrary to her wishes.

She was willing to go back, and she wanted to ask Mu Sijue for an answer in person.

But it was not the right time. The first thing was to kill Kang Ruicheng.

Kang Ruicheng reached out and gently held Xu Youning’s hand. He promised, “A Ning, I promise that Mu Sijue will no longer have the chance to hurt you in the future.”

Xu Youning resisted the urge to reject him from the bottom of her heart, and forced herself to accept Kang Ruicheng’s touch. She replied with an “okay” and gave him a smile.

Back at the old house of the Kang family, Kang Ruicheng asked someone to bring a first-aid kit. He opened it and asked Xu Youning, “Where are your injuries?”

Xu Youning rolled up her sleeves, revealing her bleeding right arm.

Kang Ruicheng frowned with distress and said, “Hold on. I’ll help you deal with this.”

She was stunned and remembered that Mu Sijue had said to her just then: “Hold on. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

She was in Mu Sijue’s arms at that time. Perhaps his heart was beating fast and his tone was uneasy because he was too nervous, but he still tried his best to comfort her.

No wonder she suddenly felt very much at ease at that time, even while feeling that much pain.

She had just found out that Mu Sijue actually cared about her. Wasn’t that so?

She suddenly felt there was a glimmer of hope in the future.

Kang Ruicheng discovered Xu Youning was absent-minded by then. He thought for a moment and asked, “A Ning, it’s so late. Why did Mu Sijue take you out?”

Xu Youning came to her senses, quickly sorted out her thoughts, and said casually, “I was pretending to be sick.”

“Was Mu Sijue taking you to the hospital?” asked Kang Ruicheng.

“I’m sick. Of course he has to take me to the hospital,” Xu Youning said, “He doesn’t want me to die so soon. Besides, if anything happens to me, he won’t be able to explain it to Jian’an.”

Su Jian’an had always been very concerned about her well-being.

Xu Youning’s words had no loopholes.

Kang Ruicheng calmly dealt with the wound on Xu Youning’s hand and motioned for her to stretch out her feet. Only then did he find that the clothes she was wearing didn’t fit her. It was obvious that they belonged to Mu Sijue.

Kang Ruicheng instantly wore a cold look in his eyes.

Xu Youning said lightly, “I’ve been locked in Mu Sijue’s house for too many days. I don’t have any clothes, so I can only wear this.”

Kang Ruicheng’s face darkened. “Change them!”

Xu Youning looked as if she didn’t care. “Let’s first deal with my wounds. It would be too troublesome to run up and come down again.”

After that, Kang Ruicheng’s face darkened almost all the way.

Finally, after he managed to deal with the bruises on Xu Youning’s knees. He stared at her and asked, “Did Mu Sijue do anything to you?”

“...” Xu Youning didn’t answer.

Kang Ruicheng realized something, and his look became more and more violent. He inadvertently saw a red mark on Xu Youning’s neck. He pulled her collar down and saw small marks on her collarbone.

He immediately knew who had left these marks without needing to think further.

Kang Ruicheng suddenly clenched his fist, and the power was so strong he could almost break his knuckles.

“What else did Mu Sijue do to you?”

Kang Ruicheng’s voice seemed to come from hell. It was cold and horrible, exuding a frightening aura.

Xu Youning said in a self-deprecating tone, “In addition to that kind of thing, what else could he do to me?”

“Bang—”

Kang Ruicheng pounded the first-aid kit with his fist. The bottles, cans and all kinds of medical products were instantly broken into pieces, and his knuckles were also broken.

Xu Youning said calmly, “You should have thought of this possibility when you sent me to work undercover around Mu Sijue. Do you regret it?”
