Chapter 485 I Guess It’s Called Destiny!
Sometimes, Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi didn’t act like a couple. Instead, they acted like competitive opponents. It was fun to have an intellectual fight in their eyes.
So Su Yicheng had never evaded Luo Xiaoxi’s questions.
Unless there was a special situation!
Luo Xiaoxi slightly patted on Su Yicheng’s shoulder. “You’re hiding something from me!”
“Em?” Su Yicheng pretended that he didn’t understand, “Am I?”
“Don’t play the fool with me!” Luo Xiaoxi held Su Yicheng’s neck and leaned in his arms. She sweetly threatened, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll ask Jianan! Well, does Jianan know about it?”
It couldn’t be a good thing if he didn’t want to talk about it. Su Jianan’s term was close. So Luo Xiaoxi was sure that Su Yicheng wouldn’t want to bother Su Jianan, whether she knew or not.
She was indirectly forcing Su Yicheng to say it.
Su Yicheng painfully rubbed his temple, “Jianan may not know as well as I do.”
“Well…” Luo Xiaoxi looked unhappy, “Okay, you can tell me.”
Su Yicheng had no choice but to briefly tell her who Xu Youning really was.
After hearing his explanation, Luo Xiaoxi’s mouth was wide open due to her astonishment. She couldn’t close it for quite a while.
In her eyes, Xu Youning was just a bit fiercer than ordinary girls. Except that, she looked no different from other girls.
An evil character didn’t go with Xu Youning’s righteousness. She had never thought it that way.
Xu Youning was actually a spy sent by a criminal?
“Damn it!” Luo Xiaoxi expressed her sincere amazement, “So cool!”
Su Yicheng: “…”
Luo Xiaoxi was still dipped in shock, “It’s a pity for Xu Youning to be a spy with such acting skills. If she had joined the acting field, it would have been very easy for her to win an Oscar!”
It was undeniable that Luo Xiaoxi was bold and careless. But in fact, she was extremely sensitive to danger. Those who got close to her intentionally or harmfully never succeeded.
However, after so many times of meeting with Xu Youning, she had never doubted her, not even once!
Luo Xiaoxi poked Su Yicheng’s hand. “You should persuade Youning to come back. Recently, a famous director is planning to film a New Year movie. The female leading role is a spy with three different identities. I would recommend her to be in it, she would definitely become famous…”
Su Yicheng silently sighed, “It took her great efforts to escape from Mu Sijue. She will never come back.”
“Well…”
Even Luo Xiaoxi didn’t notice the disappointment in her tone.
She had the same feeling as Su Jianan. They just couldn’t believe that Xu Youning would do anything harmful to them. Even though Xu Youning’s identity had been revealed, they still wanted her to come back.
Su Yicheng looked at Luo Xiaoxi and said, “Don’t worry, Youning wouldn’t hurt you.”
Luo Xiaoxi unfolded her hands, “I know that. She has no reason to hurt me.” After a pause, she continued, “It is just a pity.”
If Xu Youning wasn’t a spy, she really wanted to befriend her.
“This is Youning’s own choice. We have no say in the matter.” Su Yicheng put an end to the topic, “We should go back.”
After lunch, they got on the plane back to City A.
To get enough time for the wedding and the honeymoon, Su Yicheng had arranged a tight schedule those days. He went to City G temporarily. There were tons of things to fix in the company, so he had to go there to deal with them.
Luo Xiaoxi was severely allergic to “working overtime” and didn’t agree to go to the company with Su Yicheng anyways. Once exiting the airport, she got into another car and went to Su Jianan’s home in Dingya Villas.
Coincidentally, Xiao Yunyun was also at Su Jianan’s home.
As luck would have it, the minute Luo Xiaoxi went in, Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan had arrived.
Seeing this, Luo Xiaoxi joked, “Yuechuan, did you come here on purpose because you knew Yunyun would be here today?”
Shen Yuechuan took a look at Xiao Yunyun. Her beautiful face was filled with nervousness and she didn’t dare to look back at him.
He calmly lifted one of his eyebrows to Luo Xiaoxi. “What about you? Did you come here intentionally because you knew I was coming?”
Since she knew about love, Luo Xiaoxi had been the one who always flirted with others. The only man who could make her flush was Su Yicheng.
“…Fuck off!” Luo Xiaoxi stretched her leg to Shen Yuechuan, meaning to teach him a lesson.
Shen Yuechuan smiled and evaded flexibly. The room was instantly filled with laughter and joy.
No one noticed that Xiao Yunyun didn’t smile at all.
She had left work on time that day, which was rare for her. Xiao Yunyun didn’t want to go home, but she didn’t have any other place to go. Thinking about where she could hang out and how she needed to choose a ceremonial dress with Luo Xiaoxi, she realized she hadn’t met Su Jianan for a long time. So she took a taxi and went there without hesitation.
She didn’t expect to run into Shen Yuechuan.
In fact, Xiao Yunyun hadn’t seen Shen Yuechuan since they returned from the island. That vague kiss in the cabin by the seaside was firmly enclosed like a leaf pressed inside a book. The memory occasionally emerged but no more than that.
Maybe because it was too much like a dream.
Xiao Yunyun’s heart was touched after running into Shen Yuechuan there. All the cells in her body seemed to be motivated and something was about to spill out from the bottom of her heart.
But Shen Yuechuan’s attention didn’t seem to be on her. He appeared to be chatting happily with Luo Xiaoxi.
At the moment, it was like a bucket of icy water pouring down her head. The happiness and joy gradually faded. She leaned aside to avoid seeing Shen Yuechuan and used a smile to cover up the disappointment in her heart.
But why did she care about it?
Luo Xiaoxi was her cousin-in-law and couldn’t possibly have any other relationship with Shen Yuechuan. Besides, she wasn’t related with Shen Yuechuan, either.
The three of them were just ordinary friends.
Thinking about it, Xiao Yunyun took a long breath. When she lifted her eyes, she met Su Jianan’s smiling eyes.
What she didn’t know was that all of her slight expressions and reactions were captured by Su Jianan’s eyes.
There was a time when Su Jianan had been just as skittish and hesitant as she was. Therefore, she totally understood her mood.
“Huh.” Xiao Yunyun realized she had been seen through and pointed at the kitchen, “I’ll see if dinner’s ready.”
Su Jianan kindly nodded, “Okay.”
Xiao Yunyun almost escaped to the kitchen. Only Lu Boyan noticed Su Jianan’s smile which became more and more apparent. He asked her, “What are you smiling for?”
“I’ll tell you later.” Su Jianan smiled mysteriously. “You should first tell me, why is Yuechuan here?”
“Uncle Qian had something to do back home. He just took me back.” While speaking, Lu Boyan suddenly understood something. “You think he knew Yunyun was here?”
“Yunyun came by after work with no plan at all. No matter how smart Yuechuan is, he couldn’t have known about it.” Su Jianan said seriously, “No doubt it’s destiny at play!”
“…” Lu Boyan was speechless.
At the moment, no one noticed that Shen Yuechuan was secretly chasing Xiao Yunyun’s figure with his eyes. A strong feeling arose in his eyes.
After getting back from the island, he kept working hard without giving himself some time to breathe.
The reason why he forced himself like that was to stop himself from thinking about something.
Because… it was impossible.
He had been wild for more than a decade and his bad stories could fill up a museum. He didn’t even know who his parents were. But Xiao Yunyun was an innocent and beloved girl in her parents’ eyes…
How could it be possible?
He didn’t know Xiao Yunyun would be there. It was just a coincidence.
But just such a coincidence made him flip. Striking a deal worth more than a billion wouldn’t make him heel happier.
Shen Yuechuan painfully held back, he had to end this train of thought as soon as possible.
Before he could come up with a specific way, Xiao Yunyun poked her head from the kitchen. “Get ready for the meal!”
Halfway through their meal, Su Jianan asked Luo Xiaoxi, “How are the wedding preparations?”
“Almost done. There are only a few trifles left. We decided to leave them to the wedding company.” Luo Xiaoxi suddenly smiled, “Now, all I need is to match the best man and the bridesmaid.”
Then, Luo Xiaoxi intentionally looked at Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan. Her meaning was clear.
Shen Yuechuan was experienced, so he kept his cool and continued eating. Xiao Yunyun wanted to act calmer too. But… to match, damn it, it sounded so evil.
Xiao Yunyun’s hand slipped and the pork she picked up with much difficulty just fell inside the bowl.
Luo Xiaoxi wouldn’t miss this chance. She stared at Xiao Yunyun and asked, “Yunyun, you are one of the bridesmaids. How do you think I should arrange the match?”
“Um, well… just as you like.” Xiao Yunyun pretended like she didn’t care. “It doesn’t matter to me.”
Luo Xiaoxi turned around to ask Shen Yuechuan, “You are one of the best men. What do you think?”
Shen Yuechuan didn’t answer as easily as Xiao Yunyun. He said smilingly, “I think… the best men should line up to let the bridesmaids choose!”
Luo Xiaoxi was about to praise Shen Yuechuan when he continued, “Although, that would make all of them scramble for one of the best men! Of course, the best man is me!”
“…” This was the first time for Luo Xiaoxi to meet someone who was more narcissistic than her. She had nothing to say. Then she looked at Xiao Yunyun as she were giving her the cue to fight back.
Xiao Yunyun reminded in a gentle voice, “There’s only a fine line between narcissism and shamelessness.”
Shen Yuechuan leaned over to look at Xiao Yunyun. He wasn’t angry. Instead he kept smiling and asked, “What do you mean?”
“I mean that someone is shameless.” Xiao Yunyun puckered her lips. “Besides, as a reminder, none of my cousin’s bridesmaids are blind.” Her words suggested that no one would scramble over Shen Yuechuan because they weren’t blind.
Shen Yuechuan was upset but he still pretended to be magnanimous. “I won’t bother to argue with a little girl like you. I’ll show you at the wedding!”
“Show me what?” Xiao Yunyun asked casually, “Show me how embarrassed you can be?”
Shen Yuechuan would turn 28 that year, just the best age.
But what did Xiao Yunyun just say? That he was an old man?
“…” Shen Yuechuan felt pain in his liver.
