Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 868 - Did Not Expect that Lu Boyan Was Such a Person



Chapter 868 Did Not Expect that Lu Boyan Was Such a Person

When Su Jian’an came out of the kitchen with the salt shrimps she had just made, she saw Xu Youning coming in and suddenly felt guilty.

Less than half a minute later, Mu Sijue walked in.

This made Su Jian’an completely nervous.

“Why didn’t they come in together?

“Was I more of a hindrance than a help?”

Thinking of this, Su Jian’an broke out in a sweat. “Why hasn’t Boyan come back yet?” she thought aloud.

She needed her husband to help her!

Mu Sijue didn’t notice that Su Jian’an’s was in a panic, and said, “Boyan is outside.”

These words were like the life-saving straw for Su Jian’an. She put down the plate, saying, “I’ll go find him!”

Then she rushed off and happened to bump into Lu Boyan.

Lu Boyan had never seen her in such a hurry after she conceived. He caught her, stroked her messy hair, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Su Jian’an patted her chest. “I’m just afraid that Sijue…”

“What’s going on with Mu Qi?” Lu Boyan frowned and asked.

Su Jian’an told Lu Boyan about her giving false information about Xu Youning’s physical condition. In the end, she added, “Sijue and Youning came in one after the other just now. I’m afraid that they might have quarreled with each other because of my mistake. Will Sijue blame me?”

She had heard that anyone who offended Mu Sijue would come to bad ends.

Being silent for a moment, Lu Boyan comforted her with a smile. “Don’t worry. In fact, Mu Qi should thank you.”

Su Jian’an shook her head and said, “No need for that.”

If she really caused a quarrel between them, she only wished that Mu Sijue didn’t punish her. How could she dare to ask for his appreciation?

Lu Boyan told her, “Xu Youning has agreed to marry Mu Qi.”

Su Jian’an was shaken. “Really?” she asked unbelievably.

“Mu Qi told me in person,” Lu Boyan said, “just now.”

Stunned for a while, Su Jian’an finally realized that there was no contradiction between Mu Sijue and Xu Youning. He came in late just because he wanted to tell Lu Boyan this news.

She actually contributed to their marriage!

Su Jian’an breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt proud of herself.

She let go of Lu Boyan and smoothed her hair, saying, “When Sijue thanks me, how should I respond? Just tell him ‘you are welcome, and you owe me a favor’?”

Lu Boyan raised his eyebrow and joked, “That’s too polite. You can ask for more.”

Su Jian’an was speechless. She did not expect that her husband was such a person.

But she liked it!

“Jian’an,” Lu Boyan suddenly asked, “why did you accept my proposal back then?”

“Why do you ask this?” Su Jian’an was curious, and she soon answered him, “It seemed like I was forced. But in fact, it was because I liked you.”

Lu Boyan’s lips curled up slightly. “If you didn’t like me, would you have married me?” He gave another question.

“No,” Su Jian’an shook her head without hesitation. “I would have protected myself in other ways. I think… I would never marry someone I don’t like.”

Lu Boyan took it as Su Jian’an’s confession of love. He held her in his arms, kissed her forehead, and whispered, ” Tell this to Mu Qi if there is any chance.”

Su Jian’an asked in wonder, “Why tell him?”

“He just said that you were forced to marry me,” Lu Boyan said seriously, “I think it’s necessary to let him know the truth.”

Su Jian’an was speechless.

She didn’t know why the two men would discuss the reason why she married Lu Boyan.

However, his serious and childish look was so cute now that she couldn’t help smiling.

Lu Boyan pulled Su Jian’an closer to him and asked in a low voice, “What’s so funny?”

But Su Jian’an just kissed his lips and said, “Let’s go in.”

The dinner was all served, and everyone was sitting at the table, except Su Yicheng.

While Su Jian’an was hesitating whether to wait for him, Luo Xiaoxi interrupted her thought and said, “Let’s eat. Yicheng has a social engagement tonight, so we don’t need to wait for him.”

Luo Xiaoxi always believed Su Yicheng. Even if he came back early in the morning, she would never ask more. She just filled her belly and waited for him to come back.

After she got pregnant, Su Yicheng would usually ask his secretary to reject some unimportant social activities. This was probably why she trusted him so much.

After dinner, it was getting late. Aunt Zhou took Mumu back to take a shower. Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue went upstairs to the study to discuss something. Only Su Jian’an, Xu Youning, and Luo Xiaoxi were left in the living room.

Su Jian’an opened her computer to continue writing about the wedding plan for Yuechuan and Yunyun.

Xu Youning suddenly said, “Jian’an, it’s Mumu’s birthday the day after tomorrow.”

Su Jian’an put down the computer and looked at Xu Youning in confusion, asking, “Why didn’t you say that when we were having dinner?” She could tell that Xu Youning waited until now on purpose.

“In fact, Mumu hasn’t celebrated any of his birthdays before,” Xu Youning said.

“Why?” Su Jian’an was puzzled. “Mumu will be five years old after this birthday. How could he have never had a birthday party?”

After all, she had already planned to celebrate Xiyu and Xiangyi’s first to eighteenth birthdays before they were born.

How come no one cared about Mumu’s birthday?

“It is because nobody would help.” Xu Youning tried not to make things serious. “As soon as his mommy passed away, Kang Ruicheng sent him to the country A. He doesn’t remember his son’s birthday at all. The nanny took care of Mumu only for money and would never put any effort into his birthday.”

Su Jian’an got her intention. “So you want to give him a surprise?”

Xu Youning nodded. “This may be the last thing I can do for him.”

Su Jian’an closed the computer and said, “Okay, let’s talk about Mumu’s birthday party first. There’s still some time before Yunyun and Yuechuan’s wedding. There’s no rush.”

Xu Youning knew that Su Jian’an would agree, but she was still moved when she heard what Su Jian’an said. “Thank you, Jian’an,” she said, feeling touched.

After all, Mumu was Kang Ruicheng’s son. But Su Jian’an could forget about the feud between Lu Boyan and Kang Ruicheng and celebrate Mumu’s birthday. Other than thanking her, she did not know what else to say.

“You don’t have to thank me.” Su Jian’an smiled. “Mumu is different from Kang Ruicheng. I like him very much. Besides, being Kang Ruicheng’s son is not his choice. This time, let’s celebrate his birthday together just as… a farewell.”

Xu Youning nodded and discussed with Su Jian’an about the cake and decoration. She wrote a memo to note the details that were easily forgotten.

It was ten o’clock by the time Xu Youning and Su Jian’an had planned everything.

They went through some details, and Xu Youning rechecked the plan. “Okay, it’s all settled,” she said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Sijue appeared on the first floor and asked Xu Youning to return home.

So she got up and said goodbye to Su Jian’an smilingly.

Mu Sijue held Xu Youning’s hand and took her out.

Walking through the garden, Xu Youning suddenly stopped and said, “I’m a little hungry.”

Without saying anything, Mu Sijue took her straight to the club because he didn’t want to inconvenience Aunt Zhou, who was already asleep.

The club’s restaurant was open 24 hours a day. The chef could make whatever Xu Youning wanted to eat.

The peak time had already passed, so there were only a few guests in the restaurant. Mu Sijue and Xu Youning sat down by the window.

He ordered many dishes without looking at the menu, and each one of them was what Xu Youning liked.

The corner of Xu Youning’s mouth twitched. She said, “It’s too much. How can I finish it?”

Mu Sijue responded, “Choose what you want.”

But Xu Youning didn’t know which one to pick. “I… I like every single one of them.”

“Then take a bite of each one of them,” Mu Sijue said.

Xu Youning didn’t know what else to say.

The snacks and porridge were quickly served. Mu Sijue passed the chopsticks to Xu Youning and asked, “What were you talking about with Jian’an back then?”

Mu Sijue had seen them discussing heatedly as if they were making some important plans when he was on the stairs.

“The day after tomorrow is Mumu’s birthday,” Xu Youning answered, “We are going to hold a special birthday party for him.”

Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning for a moment and then said, “After the party, I will send him back. We have already reached an agreement on it. You can’t go back on your words.”

This time, Mu Sijue didn’t give Xu Youning any room for negotiation.

Xu Youning’s heart suddenly sank. Her reluctance to part with Mumu was like a vine wrapping her heart.

However, Mumu had to go back eventually. In the future, the little guy would have to go on his life journey alone.

She could not take care of him for the rest of her life.

Xu Youning nodded and said, “Okay.” She didn’t say anything more and immersed herself in eating. While swallowing food, she swallowed her tears, too.

Looking at her, Mu Sijue frowned slightly—that little guy was too important in Xu Youning’s heart.

Mu Sijue was not happy, but he couldn’t be jealous of Mumu, either.

He could only admit that Kang Ruicheng had a son who was more adorable than anyone had imagined.

Perhaps it was because she ate too fast, Xu Youning was soon full, leaving more than half of the snacks on the table.

But she had been taught that wasting food was shameful since childhood.

Noticing that Xu Youning was indecisive, Mu Sijue asked the waiter to take the food away and said to her, “Let’s go home.”

Back at the villa, Xu Youning simply took a shower and drank a glass of milk before she went to bed.

After she came here, she slept very well every night, as if she had gone back to her carefree childhood.

She thought that this night would be no different. But not long after she fell asleep, the nightmare entangled her and twisted her throat like a viper. She couldn’t breathe and could only struggle in her dream…

She could never imagine that the nightmare would become a reality one day…
