In the private hospital…

Shen Yuechuan called Mu Sijue because Xiao Yunyun had asked him to.

After hanging up the phone, he told Xiao Yunyun, “Xu Youning is fine. Mu Qi took her back.”

Nothing could happen to Xu Youning now that she was in Mr. Mu’s home, right?

Xiao Yunyun finally felt relieved. She smiled and said, “Let’s go back.”

Back at the apartment building, Xiao Yunyun found that Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi had come, as well as Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng.

“Why are you here?”

Xiao Yunyun was greatly surprised. If it weren’t for the fact that the injury on her right leg hadn’t completely healed yet, she would have rushed to Su Jian’an and the others already.

She had been breathing in the smell of disinfectant for more than half a month. Now she finally got discharged from the hospital, but since the morning, Su Yicheng and Su Jian’an had not called or visited her at all. She thought that they had forgotten about her.

Su Jian’an came over and touched Xiao Yunyun’s head. “Now that you’re out of the hospital, we will definitely celebrate for you.”

Only then did Xiao Yunyun notice that Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng were carrying stuff in their hands, which seemed to be vegetables and seafood.

There was nothing wrong with the ingredients. The amazing part was that they were actually in Lu Boyan’s and Su Yicheng’s hands!

When the two of them were not married, they were the two most handsome men in City A. They were the dream lovers of countless girls!

But now, they were helping their wives carry things like those normal husbands who accompanied their wives to go shopping in the supermarket.

The Charming Princes are going to walk down the aisle?

But then again, except for Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi, there was no other woman in the world who could make these two men go down the aisle, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunyun didn’t think it strange anymore.

Shen Yuechuan pushed Xiao Yunyun and said, “Let’s go upstairs.”

After Xiao Yunyun was hospitalized, Shen Yuechuan hadn’t gone back to his apartment. Fortunately, the auntie came to clean it regularly, so the apartment stayed clean and tidy.

Xiao Yunyun’s bright almond-shaped eyes were full of expectation. “Cousin, what are you going to cook for us?”

She had missed Su Jian’an’s cooking skills for a long time!

“There are so many people, so we can eat hot pot,” Su Jian’an said, “and I’ll make you soup.”

Xiao Yunyun nodded and looked at Su Jian’an pitifully. “I’m hungry…”

“Give me an hour.”

Su Jian’an carried the ingredients into the kitchen, and Lu Boyan naturally followed her. It seemed that he wanted to help Su Jian’an.

After putting the stuff down, Lu Boyan tilted his head and said something to Su Jian’an. She smiled at him, and he slowly rolled up his sleeves. His slender and well-proportioned arms were slowly exposed, and every movement of his was extremely charming and was a feast to the eye.

Luo Xiaoxi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xiao Yunyun. “What’s so attractive to you?”

“My cousin and cousin-in-law,” Xiao Yunyun said, “they’re really good-looking! Just like the popular online saying, they’re a perfect match for each other!”

Su Jian’an and Lu Boyan did not just look like a perfect match.

The most touching part was the tacit understanding between them.

It seemed that they knew each other’s thoughts with just one look or one action.

They were born to be a couple.

If they were not together, it would be very strange for them to end up with anyone else.

Luo Xiaoxi laughed. “When others are 10 years old, they are still playing with mud. But your cousin has fallen in love with Boss Lu. It would be strange if they aren’t destined to be together!”

Xiao Yunyun was speechless.

Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an could not hear what the people outside were talking about at all, but it had no effect on their tacit understanding.

When Su Jian’an had gotten the ingredients of the hot pot ready and finished cooking the soup for Xiao Yunyun, Lu Boyan had just cleaned all the vegetables, seafood, and meat.

The two of them worked together, and the timing was just right.

Su Jian’an checked Lu Boyan’s work and found that both the vegetables and the seafood were extremely clean.

Lu Boyan asked calmly, “How is it?”

“Great!” Su Jian’an tiptoed slightly and planted a kiss on Lu Boyan’s lips. “You’re about to become an expert in cleaning vegetables.”

Cleaning vegetables was Lu Boyan’s most recent hobby.

Occasionally, after he got home from work, he would happen to run into Su Jian’an preparing dinner. Then he would go into the kitchen to help.

However, his focus was never on washing the vegetables, but on Su Jian’an, who devoted herself to prepare dinner for him.

As long as he was with Su Jian’an, doing anything was the same for him.

“Alright,” Su Jian’an said. “Help me bring out the hot pot, and then we can start to eat.”

When Lu Boyan was carrying the soup pot, he took the opportunity to peck Su Jian’an’s lips. Then he raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction and took out the pot.

The whole apartment was filled with the fresh fragrance. They all enjoyed the feast. By the end, Xiao Yunyun sighed and said, “It would be better if Boss Mu and Youning could also come.”

Su Jian’an’s action of filling the bowl with soup paused—”Why would Yunyun mention Youning for no reason?”

She looked at Lu Boyan with doubt in her eyes.

Lu Boyan held Su Jian’an’s hand and motioned for her not to worry. He said in a low voice, “I’ll tell you after we’re back home.”

Xiyu and Xiangyi were at home. Although Tang Yulan and Aunt Liu were there to take care of them, Su Jian’an still couldn’t help worrying about them. In addition, with the matter of Xu Youning, she asked to leave before she had time to eat the fruit she bought.

Luo Xiaoxi was still in the early stages of pregnancy. At the critical moment, Su Yicheng was always very nervous. He claimed that Luo Xiaoxi needed to rest and left with Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an.

Before going out, Su Yicheng and Su Jian’an reminded Shen Yuechuan at the same time, “Take good care of Yunyun.”

Shen Yuechuan said, “Don’t worry. I will do my best to fulfill all her requests.”

Shen Yuechuan normally acted casually, but the promise he made was absolutely trustworthy. They finally left without any worries.

Only Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun were left in the apartment.

Xiao Yunyun held her chin leisurely and looked at Shen Yuechuan with a smile. “You just told my cousin that you would grant all my requests.”

“Uh-huh.” Shen Yuechuan sat down leisurely. “What? Do you have a request now?”

Xiao Yunyun’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes were full of love. “Give me a kiss.”

Shen Yuechuan was very happy to satisfy such a request—

Outside the door, Su Jian’an, Lu Boyan, and the others had not entered the elevator yet.

Behind the door, Shen Yuechuan had already held Xiao Yunyun in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. The breathes of the two were twisted together, and their lips and tongues were tightly entangled, as if they wanted to integrate themselves into each other and never part.

Su Jian’an had been thinking about Xu Youning. As soon as she got in the car, she couldn’t wait to ask Lu Boyan, “What happened? Why did Yunyun suddenly mention Youning?”

Lu Boyan generally told Su Jian’an about the whole process of Xu Youning coming to find Shen Yuechuan and running into Mu Sijue, who took Xu Youning back to his villa by force.

In the end, Lu Boyan added, “Now, Xu Youning is still in Mu Qi’s villa.”

Su Jian’an didn’t expect that so many things had happened over the past few days. It took her a long time to find her voice. “Will Youning leave again?”

“She wanted to leave in the morning, but was discovered by Mu Qi,” Lu Boyan said. “From now on, her decision doesn’t matter anymore. It depends on whether Mu Qi is willing to let her go or not.”

Su Jian’an asked cautiously, “Then—will Mu Sijue…?”

“No.” Lu Boyan knew Mu Sijue too well and said without hesitation, “Since he has taken Xu Youning back to the villa, it’s unlikely that Mu Qi will let her go, unless something unexpected happens.”

“There’d better be no accidents. Kang Ruicheng is not a good person, and it’s not good for Youning to go back to him.” While speaking, Su Jian’an suddenly looked at Lu Boyan with affection, and there was a smile in her eyes. “Sweetie…”

Lu Boyan was too familiar with Su Jian’an’s habits. He knew what she wanted without guessing.

He took the initiative to kiss Su Jian’an’s lips and stopped her from finishing her words. He coaxed her softly, “Good girl, it’s not the right time.”

Su Jian’an wanted to visit Xu Youning, but just this morning, Xu Youning had infuriated Mu Sijue.

According to Mu Sijue’s style, he wouldn’t let go of Xu Youning easily. Xu Youning’s situation was not clear yet.

It was not a good time to see Xu Youning.

Su Jian’an pestered Lu Boyan and continued to ask, “How long will it take?”

Lu Boyan tried his best to comfort Su Jian’an. “Wait until I contact Mu Qi, huh?”

Su Jian’an knew that if she could see Xu Youning, Lu Boyan wouldn’t stop her. Since he asked her to wait, it could only mean that it was really inappropriate to see her now.

She could only agree depressedly. “Okay.”

At the moment, she could only pray that Song Jiqing could cure Xiao Yunyun’s hand and that Xu Youning would give Mu Sijue enough trust that she wouldn’t run away again.

Later, Su Jian’an completely understood a sentence.

“Occasionally, things in our lives go contrary.”

In the villa…

An afternoon passed by quickly. Xu Youning slept for a while, and it was late at night when she woke up.

Although the lights were on in the room, it was quiet all around, which made Xu Youning feel unusual.

She hoped… that Mu Sijue was around.

Even if Mu Sijue didn’t say anything good to her or completely ignored her, she still hoped that he would be here. As long as she could see him, she would be satisfied.

She did not want to be alone on such a dark night.

While she was thinking, with a click, the door was pushed open, and Mu Sijue’s tall and straight figure slowly entered the room.

Xu Youning widened her eyes and looked at him in surprise. She couldn’t look away for quite a while.

Was it a coincidence, or was it possible that… he could read her feelings?

The last possibility made Xu Youning totally confused. She shook her head and drove those confusing thoughts from her mind.

Her heart and Mu Sijue’s were not even in the same place. How could they be connected?

Mu Sijue came over and unlocked Xu Youning’s handcuffs. He ordered, “Go downstairs and eat.”

Xu Youning stretched her sore wrist and looked up at Mu Sijue. “Are you going to handcuff me like this every time you go outside?”

“So what?” Mu Sijue asked coldly, “Do you have a problem with it?”

“Absolutely!” Xu Youning complained, “It feels awful…”

“You asked for it.” Mu Sijue said coldly, “If you didn’t try to escape, maybe I would consider letting you moving around freely here.”

Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue with a conflicted look. “Can we start over from the morning?”

If she had known that she couldn’t run away and that she would be handcuffed, she could guarantee that she wouldn’t try to escape again!

However, Mu Sijue misunderstood Xu Youning’s meaning. He looked at Xu Youning with an ironical look and asked, “Do you want to run away again?”

Xu Youning was speechless.

It was done. Why did she have an ominous feeling?
