Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 845 The So-called ‘Hush Money’

Outside, the darkness was like a curtain spreading in the sky. The moonlight quietly replaced the sunshine, making the stars particularly bright.

The crescent was like a knife, shining coldly. The stars were scattered, glittering in the moonlight, like pieces of silver casually sprinkled in the sky.

In Xiao Yunyun’s memory, she had never seen such a wonderful night sky.

She pulled Shen Yuechuan and said with expectation, “I want to go out for a walk!”

Shen Yuechuan often came here, so no matter how amazing the scenery was, he had long been tired of it.

But these days, Xiao Yunyun had been staying in the hospital, and she was downright tired of it. If he refused her, he would suffer more than just being bitten.

He took her hand and said, “I’ll take you there.”

As soon as they went out, a gust of cold wind blew at them, as cold and slashing as an ice knife.

Xiao Yunyun gritted her teeth and hissed. She moved closer to Shen Yuechuan like a small animal looking for shelter.

“We can go back if you’re feeling cold.” Shen Yuechuan said, “We still have time tomorrow.”

“No, I want to go out now. I want to see the stars!” Xiao Yunyun jumped up and down on the spot. “I’ll warm up after walking!”

She was particularly stubborn, as if she would not turn around even if she knocked a wall down.

Shen Yuechuan smiled helplessly, took off the gloves, and helped Xiao Yunyun put them on. He mysteriously smiled and said, “Come with me.”

He took Xiao Yunyun’s hand and walked to the back garden of the club

The garden of the villa was too small. The counterpart of the club was a real secret paradise.

Cold snaps were raging on the top of the mountain, and the cold wind was whistling. The moonlight coupled with the starlight shone down, leading to a layer of chilly silver on the back garden of the club, which added a chill to the winter.

Shen Yuechuan pulled Xiao Yunyun to his front and blocked the wind with his body. Then he pointed to the sky and said, “This is the best place to see the stars clearly.”

Xiao Yunyun raised her head. Shen Yuechuan didn’t lie to her. Above her head, the stars were shining brightly. The starry sky was more magnificent and realistic than pictures taken by photographers.

She turned around, pressed her body against Shen Yuechuan’s chest, and looked at him carefully. “How do you know that? Did you use this method to flirt with other girls?”

Shen Yuechuan poked her head and said, “Stop imagining it. I used to come here to talk about business. Once, I came here to smoke and accidentally found it.”

Xiao Yunyun lightly closed her mouth. “Have you told anyone else?”

Shen Yuechuan bit her finger. “You’re the first one.”

“And also the last one!” Xiao Yunyun added. Then she threatened Shen Yuechuan. “You are not allowed to tell anyone else. Only you and I know this secret!”

Shen Yuechuan thought for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, “Then you need to pay me the hush money.”

Xiao Yunyun held Shen Yuechuan’s shoulders and stood on tiptoe to kiss his lips. “Is that enough?”

Shen Yuechuan did not answer but asked, “Do you think I can be satisfied so easily?”

“…”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t expect Shen Yuechuan to be so blunt. Before she could react, he had already wrapped his arms around her waist, lowered his head, and kissed her lips. The tip of his tongue skillfully pried open her teeth and tasted her sweetness…

The wind in the back garden was very fierce, like a blade cutting her skin. Xiao Yunyun felt cold all over.

Except for her lips.

She didn’t know if the warmth of her lips came from her own temperature or Shen Yuechuan’s. But they were warm and soft, and no matter how cold the wind was, they wouldn’t be cold.

Xiao Yunyun found that she did not reject this feeling at all.

So she unconsciously hugged Shen Yuechuan tighter.

Feeling Xiao Yunyun’s response, Shen Yuechuan tightened his grip around her waist, and his lips gently and slowly sucked her sweetness in the cold wind.

Xiao Yunyun felt that the warmth seemed to have spread from her lips to her whole body. She was no longer cold, and she even felt the cold light of the moon and stars was a little bit warmer!

She closed her eyes and didn’t want to protest. She just wanted to enjoy it, be immersed in Shen Yuechuan’s kiss, and float in the world where there were only Shen Yuechuan and her.

It wasn’t until the moon disappeared into the clouds, and the light shining on the ground became dim that Shen Yuechuan let go of Xiao Yunyun. He stroked her lips with his slender fingers. “This is enough.”

Xiao Yunyun lightly closed her mouth, suddenly hugged Shen Yuechuan, and threw herself into his arms.

Shen Yuechuan noticed the change in her mood and held her in his arms. “What’s wrong?”

“I suddenly realized one thing.” Xiao Yunyun said, “In the past few years, I have always been eager to become an excellent doctor and prove to Mom that my choice is right. Except when I was an exchange student in City A, I have never relaxed or traveled. When I came here, I realized that there are many wonderful sceneries in the world. I think we should go and have a look!”

In other words, because she had fallen in love with Shen Yuechuan, she wanted to appreciate the sceneries of this world. After finding the beauty of the sceneries, she suddenly wanted to see them with Shen Yuechuan.

“Okay, when I recover, we’ll go.” Shen Yuechuan did not hide his love for her. “We’ll go wherever you want to go.”

“You promised me. Don’t go back on your word!” Xiao Yunyun quickly hooked Shen Yuechuan’s finger, thought for a moment, and said, “Let’s plan it. If you want to fulfill your promise, the first thing you have to do is to recover!”

Looking at Xiao Yunyun’s serious look, Shen Yuechuan could only hold back his smile. He nodded solemnly and said, “I will try my best.”

“Let’s set this small goal first!” Xiao Yunyun smiled. “We’ll talk about other things after you recover!”

Shen Yuechuan knew what Xiao Yunyun was worried about. He hugged her and whispered in her ear, “Don’t worry. I have been treated so many times, and everything went smoothly. The last operation will definitely go well.”

“…” Xiao Yunyun didn’t speak for a moment, then suddenly patted Shen Yuechuan on the shoulder. “You can’t let me down!”

“Well, haven’t I promised you that a long time ago?” Shen Yuechuan took Xiao Yunyun’s hands and held them in his palm. “It’s too cold. Let’s go back lest we catch a cold.”

This time, Xiao Yunyun was unexpectedly obedient. She nodded and followed Shen Yuechuan to Mu Sijue’s villa.

Actually, she was worried about Shen Yuechuan.

Song Jiqing had said that every treatment would make Shen Yuechuan’s body weaker. Although it could not be seen on the surface, Shen Yuechuan’s constitution that he was proud of had long deteriorated largely because of the disease.

She was worried that once Shen Yuechuan caught a cold, his condition would get worse.

The two of them returned to Mu Sijue’s villa hand in hand, only to find that Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were gone. Only Su Jian’an and Xu Youning were in the living room with three children.

Without guessing, Shen Yuechuan knew where Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were. He let go of Xiao Yunyun’s hand and said, “I’ll go upstairs. You stay here. Be good, and don’t run around alone.”

“Okay.” Xiao Yunyun nodded, with her almond-shaped eyes shining. “Don’t be too tired.”

Shen Yuechuan smiled and secretly kissed her while others were not paying attention and then turned to go upstairs.

Xiao Yunyun pressed her lips and smiled happily. It was not until she couldn’t see Shen Yuechuan’s figure that she ran over to tease Xiangyi together with Mumu. Her eyes were clear and bright, as if she was still a little girl who knew nothing about the world.

Xu Youning stared at Xiao Yunyun for a moment and said, “I suddenly realized that Yunyun is still a child.”

Su Jian’an nodded in agreement and almost wanted to raise her hands to show her agreement.

It could be seen from what had happened between her and Shen Yuechuan that Xiao Yunyun was still a child, a very stubborn child.

She stubbornly liked Shen Yuechuan, stubbornly pursued Shen Yuechuan, and swore to get Shen Yuechuan.

Even if she had such a serious car accident, she still immediately forgave Shen Yuechuan.

For Xiao Yunyun, what was the most important was Shen Yuechuan.

Now, when she could finally be with Shen Yuechuan, she was content and wore a happy and bright smile on her face.

But in fact, she was still worried about Yuechuan, wasn’t she? She didn’t want to affect other people’s moods, so she carefully hid her worries.

Thus, Xiao Yunyun was no longer a child in some aspects.

Xu Youning suddenly remembered something and asked Su Jian’an, “How is Yuechuan?”

She had planned to ask that when she took Mumu to the hospital yesterday, but she didn’t expect that Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an were also in Shen Yuechuan’s ward. Her plan was suddenly foiled.

“Yuechuan has been receiving treatment. At present, it seems that the treatment is very effective.” Su Jian’an looked at Xiao Yunyun, who was not far away, and continued, “But the current treatment can only relieve his pain when the disease attacks. If he wants to recover, he still needs operations. If the operation fails, the current treatment will be regarded as useless.”

“…” Xu Youning had been stunned for a while before she made a sound. “I heard that Yuechuan’s illness was inherited from his father, wasn’t it?”

Su Jian’an knew what Xu Youning wanted to ask. She nodded and said, “On the day of Yuechuan’s birth, his father passed away.”

In other words, the treatment and operation of Shen Yuechuan’s father had failed.

Xu Youning subconsciously looked at Xiao Yunyun. She was teasing Xiangyi together with Mumu, and when Xiangyi laughed happily, she would roar with happier laughter. Her eyes and brows seemed to be embellished with sunshine, looking bright and charming.

No wonder Shen Yuechuan, who was so rational, couldn’t help breaking ethical barriers and admitted his forbidden love for her.

However, the happier Xiao Yunyun’s laughter was now, the more Xu Youning couldn’t imagine what Xiao Yunyun would do if something terrible happened to Shen Yuechuan.

She had had a similar feeling after her grandmother passed away.

It was as if the backup suddenly collapsed, leading to the ruin of the world, with the smoke and dust filling the entire world.

She didn’t want Xiao Yunyun to experience it.

“Youning, you don’t have to worry.” Su Jian’an said, “Henry is the attending doctor of Yuechuan’s father. He has been studying this disease for twenty years. Now the doctor is treating Yuechuan. Also, the medical community knows something about Yuechuan’s disease. Yuechuan… will be fine.”

In fact, even Henry was not sure whether Shen Yuechuan would be fine.

Su Jian’an said that only because Xu Youning was pregnant and she didn’t want her to worry about Shen Yuechuan.
