A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 445 - She and I Don't Have Much Time

Chapter 445 She and I Don’t Have Much Time

Her brother?

Su Jianan couldn’t help raising the corners of her mouth when thinking of Su Yicheng.

Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi had spent more than a decade chasing after each other. But this time, after over half a year’s preparation, they were really about to get married.

Su Jianan still remembered that when Luo Xiaoxi had a high-profile pursuit of Su Yicheng over 10 years ago, so many people had sneered at Luo Xiaoxi, waiting to laugh at her.

She had secretly told Luo Xiaoxi about it. But Luo Xiaoxi, who used to be ill-tempered, had no reaction to it. She just coldly smiled and said, “Someday, I will leave them no chance to laugh!”

Luo Xiaoxi made it. The wedding veil that Su Yicheng had personally put on her seriously turned all the laughter back on to them.

As a result, there were really some people who got their happiness by persevering.

Su Jianan turned around to look at Lu Boyan and said, “Sijue and you are here. Why isn’t Yuechuan here?” In her impression, the three of them should all be present.

“There is something in the company that Yuechuan has to deal with,” Lu Boyan said. “He will be here tomorrow.”

Su Jianan suddenly thought of something and said actively, “Then should I ask Yunyun to come here too?”

“You can if you want to.” Lu Boyan said casually, “There is a place to stay.”

Su Jianan stopped and stared. “That’s right. Why haven’t I thought about the place to stay? But… did Mu Sijue just tell Youning that there were only two rooms to stay in?”

Lu Boyan surprisedly lifted his eyebrows and said incredulously, “You believe Mu Qi?”

Su Jianan: “…” Well, she might have been too naive.

Lu Boyan went to unpack the luggage while Su Jianan walked to the window and dialed Xiao Yunyun’s phone number.

Xiao Yunyun was just like every other youth who liked to play and liked trying new things. But as a doctor, which was a scared career, she had to hide her natural character and face the patients with professionalism and authority.

This time, she had saved several days’ vacation, which she wasn’t sure how to spend, when Su Jianan called her. So she said yes before Su Jianan could finish her words. “I will ask the director for a leave when I’m off duty! Then I will book the earliest flight tomorrow and come to see you!”

“Yunyun, um…”

Su Jianan wanted to add something but Xiao Yunyun had hung up before she could complete her words.

The past few days, Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan, who couldn’t get on well with each other, also met at her home. Every time they met, they would always start a fight. Sometimes, it was Shen Yuechuan who was stamping with rage, while other times it was Xiao Yunyun who freaked out.

Su Jianan couldn’t understand why they acted like that. As a result, she wanted to tell Xiao Yunyun that Shen Yuechuan would be there as well tomorrow so she could be prepared.

But Xiao Yunyun hung up.

“Tomorrow, Yuechuan will also be here.” Su Jianan finished the words anyway.

Then Xiao Yunyun shouldn’t blame her when she saw Shen Yuechuan the next day, right?

It was her fault that she didn’t wait for the whole sentence.

Lu Boyan finished putting away the luggage and walked over to her. Then he saw Su Jianan lost in thought, so he asked casually, “What’s wrong?”

Su Jianan said with a smile, “I’m kind of looking forward to tomorrow.”

Although Lu Boyan didn’t know what she was looking forward to, he curled his lips and asked, “Are you hungry? We should have a meal now.”

Before her pregnancy, Su Jianan was fully enthusiastic about eating.

But since she had gotten pregnant, eating became her priority. Her daily mission changed from three meals a day to five meals a day. Besides, she had to overeat for every meal.

She had protested to Lu Boyan about it, but Lu Boyan gave her an irrefutable reason: “You alone have to eat for three people, so it’s natural for you to feel full.”

His words were so reasonable that she could only silently finish all the food that the cook offered.

Now that they were not at home, could she be relieved?

Su Jianan happily followed Lu Boyan to the restaurant, but only found that her nutritious dishes were already there on the table. And right beside her nutritious meal was a seafood feast.

She swallowed her saliva and stared at Lu Boyan. “I want to eat with you. Can you take my nutritious food away?”

“No.” Lu Boyan turned her down without a second thought. “You’re not allowed to eat any of the seafood.”

Su Jianan felt depressed immediately and unhappily sat down. Then she used the chopsticks to pick the food in front of her while saying, “I thought that you would have forgotten about the menu!”

After she got out of the hospital, Lu Boyan hired a diet.i.tian to design a special menu for her every week. This time, she went out with Lu Boyan, so she had thought that she didn’t have to eat according to that menu.

Unexpectedly, Lu Boyan was so considerate to have even brought her menu here!

“I didn’t bring the menu,” Lu Boyan said calmly. “I just took the cook and doctor along.”

“…” Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan and became completely speechless.

Lu Boyan placed a pot of hot fish soup in front of Su Jianan and said, “Come on, drink it. It will be just another three months. Then you can eat anything you want.”

“…” Su Jianan was upset as she took the spoon and started eating.

A moment later, from the door of the restaurant came the sound of footsteps. Su Jianan lifted her head and saw Mu Sijue and Xu Youning walking in.

Both of Mu Sijue’s hands were in his pockets, and his attractive face seemed to be covered with cold ice, as if one would freeze upon getting closer to him.

But Xu Youning completely ignored Mu Sijue’s coldness and stood by him as if nothing was wrong. He acted so naturally, as if he didn’t even see Mu Sijue.

Su Jianan thought quietly that everything has something that conquers it. The old saying was so right.

Xu Youning walked over and sat across from Su Jianan, which was one seat away from Mu Sijue. After taking a look at Su Jianan’s nutritious food, she said, “Jianan, you’re only allowed to eat this?”

Su Jianan nodded pitifully.

“I’m so sorry for you.” Xu Youning picked up a little shrimp and quickly peeled it while saying, “So it really takes a lot of courage to be pregnant.”

Mu Sijue, who sat beside them, heard the words and stopped his movements slightly. Then he continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

It was like two worlds at the same table.

On the other side, Lu Boyan put more effort into caring for Su Jianan. He helped her with the soup and food. Besides that, he constantly asked her about the taste and secretly encouraged her to eat more.

Su Jianan comfortably enjoyed Lu Boyan’s care and occasionally answered his questions. At the same time, she chatted with him smilingly, which was an extremely happy scene.

They were the warm side.

On the other side, Mu Sijue and Xu Youning were separate and completely ignored each other. Xu Youning occasionally talked with Su Jianan and Mu Sijue would talk business in the company with Lu Boyan.

But from the moment they walked in, Mu Sijue and Xu Youning were like two parallel lines that wouldn’t meet.

They were the cold side.

If Su Jianan hadn’t known the real circ.u.mstances, she would suspect that they didn’t even know each other.

After the meal, Lu Boyan stayed to discuss work with Mu Sijue. Su Jianan was not a bit interested in the business, so she pulled Xu Youning to leave.

Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were the only two people left in the restaurant.

Lu Boyan didn’t hurry to start the topic of work. Instead, he asked, “Did you have a quarrel with Xu Youning?”

Mu Sijue lit a cigarette and kept silent for a while. Then he said strangely, “She and I don’t have much time.”

Lu Boyan frowned. “Has she found out?”

“When we came from Mexico and Uncle Yang went to my home, she knew about the relationship between Ah Guang’s father and the Mu family.” Mu Sijue said, “I had asked her to investigate Ah Guang, so she would have found something even if she was stupid.”

“What do you plan to do?” Lu Boyan asked.

Mu Sijue had asked himself this question countless times.

Judging from the current situation, the only solution was to make a confession to Xu Youning and persuade her to stay.

But the one whom Xu Youning liked was Kang Ruicheng.

Either a man’s dignity or the status of Seventh Brother would never allow Mu Sijue to let go of Xu Youning.

Only when he handled the spy Xu Youning could he give his brothers a reply.

Mu Sijue didn’t want to continue the subject. “I’ll see for myself when I come back. But if it really happens, you won’t be able to hide it from Jianan.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Lu Boyan said, “Jianan’s condition is secure. I’ll explain it to her later.”

Mu Sijue nodded and ended the topic. He put out the cigarette and stiffly changed the topic to their work.

Outside of the restaurant, Su Jianan took Xu Youning into a small forest.

It was summer but it was not too hot on the island. It was even cooler in the forest. The shadows covered their hands and the rustling of the leaves constantly blew by their ears.

Xu Youning took a long breath then said, “It’s like being back in childhood.”

At that time, she used to climb trees, pick fruits, catch shrimps, and run into the river with a group of friends. And they always ran through woods barefoot to an empty beach to play all kinds of games.

At that time, she still had her parents. She could never imagine that she would live like this two decades later.

Su Jianan had a connection with Lu Boyan and asked the same question, “Youning, did you have a quarrel with Sijue?”

Xu Youning shrugged. “We always fight several times a day. If someday we stop fighting, it will be because one of us dies.”

Su Jianan was scared by Xu Youning’s words, and said after quite a while, “Youning, actually, I think… Sijue cares for you a lot.”

Xu Youning lifted her head and looked at the sunshine cut into strips by the branches, which gently landed on the ground.

She raised the corner of her mouth and said, “Jianan, that was all fake.”

If she hadn’t guessed wrong, Mu Sijue should have known who she was when he asked her to investigate Ah Guang. He didn’t expose it because he wanted to use her to go against Kang Ruicheng.

Last time, Mu Sijue gave her a fake price to mislead Kang Ruicheng so that he smoothly won the cooperation with the Mexican.

Aside from what she knew, there had to be many things that she didn’t know. She and Mu Sijue lied to each other and acted in front of each other, both of them thinking that they pretended perfectly.

There was nothing real between them.

Su Jianan found that she couldn’t understand Xu Youning’s words completely and was quite confused. “What do you mean?”

Xu Youning just said with a smile, “Jianan, I’m sorry.”

Su Jianan was even more confused. “Why are you apologizing to me?”

Xu Youning replied with great difficulty, “Because…”

It was because she was a liar who had been lying to Su Jianan from the beginning, which not only almost got Lu Enterprises into a crisis, but also made Su Jianan and Lu Boyan nearly divorce.

Su Jianan helped her all the time but she just kept hurting Su Jianan.

Luckily, she stopped before she caused anything horrible.

“You’ll know in the future.” Xu Youning changed the subject. “What is there after we cross the forest? Do you know?”

Although Su Jianan felt strange about it, she just shook her head and replied, “I don’t know. Let’s get there to have a look.”
