“Silly girl,” Su Jian’an smiled, “I promised to help you.”

Xiao Yunyun also laughed. She didn’t say anything, but she sounded like she was crying.

At this time, Lu Boyan came back from the study.

Su Jian’an looked at Lu Boyan and said to Xiao Yunyun on the other side of the phone, “That’s it for now. I’ll contact you after discussing the specific details with Xiaoxi.”

“Mm!” Xiao Yunyun paused and suddenly laughed. Her voice sounded meaningful. “Is my cousin-in-law back?”

“…” This little girl!

Su Jian’an decisively hung up on Xiao Yunyun.

Lu Boyan had already walked to the bedside and looked at Su Jian’an. “Yunyun’s call?”

“Yes.” Su Jian’an nodded and her expression became a little complicated. “Yunyun still wants to go ahead with the wedding plans.”

Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an for a moment and asked, “Don’t you want Yunyun and Yuechuan to get married?”

“How could it be?” Su Jian’an seemed to have thought it through. Her expression slowly relaxed, and a smile appeared on her lips. “I just think that Yunyun is much braver than me.”

Lu Boyan leaned back against the headboard and looked at Su Jian’an calmly. “Why do you think so?”

Su Jian’an snuggled into Lu Boyan’s arms and whispered, “After graduation, I knew that you were in City A and I could even see your company from the place where I lived… but I didn’t even dare to meet you.”

Xiao Yunyun was her total opposite. In this case, Xiao Yunyun could still resolutely say that she was going to marry Shen Yuechuan.

Su Jian’an felt ashamed of herself.

Lu Boyan had already noticed something else—

He looked at Su Jian’an thoughtfully. “You could see Lu Enterprises from your previous apartment?”

Only then did Su Jian’an realize what she had inadvertently let slip out. She silently let go of Lu Boyan and looked away, wanting to run away.

However, how could Lu Boyan give her a chance?

Lu Boyan turned over and pressed Su Jian’an down. He looked at her intently and said, “Jian’an, answer me.”

Su Jian’an’s cheeks blushed a bright red, and she could only avoid Lu Boyan’s eyes. “There’s, there’s nothing to say…”

“Jian’an.” Lu Boyan’s voice sank, and then there was a kind of charm. “I heard it very clearly just now. Are you really not going to tell me?”

Su Jian’an closed her eyes and went all out. “Yes, I could see Lu Enterprises from my previous apartment!”

Lu Boyan smirked and said in a happy voice, “Did you peep at me every day?”

Su Jian’an’s expression became gloomy and aggrieved. “There’s a river between us. It’s too far. I couldn’t see…”

Lu Boyan burst into laughter and lowered his head to kiss Su Jian’an’s lips. He looked at her and said, “Now that we’re so close, can you see me?”

His eyes were already deep-set, and at this moment, there was a touch of affection in them. They looked so charming that people could almost drown in them.

Feeling embarrassed, Su Jian’an was stunned again and couldn’t react for a long time.

Lu Boyan was not in a hurry. He just looked at Su Jian’an and patiently waited for her answer.

He thought that Su Jian’an would never know that when she was mesmerized by him, she was more enticing than anything in the world, and he just wanted to… eat her bit by bit.

After a long time, Su Jian’an came to her senses. As soon as she opened her mouth, before she could speak, Lu Boyan’s lips landed on hers and sucked on her lips.

Su Jian’an felt that Lu Boyan’s kiss was like a whirlpool, which was created by Lu Boyan. She had no choice but to sink with Lu Boyan.

However, as long as Lu Boyan was with her, she was willing.

On this matter, even if they had done it many times, Su Jian’an was still a little nervous.

Only this time, she seemed to be ready to risk everything. She was very relaxed and even cooperated with Lu Boyan’s every movement.

More and more of her secrets were revealed, so there was nothing for her to be embarrassed about.

Lu Boyan loved the way Su Jian’an reacted so much that his movements became more and more gentle, and Su Jian’an almost melted into a pool of water under his body.

The night promised to be romantic and endless.

On the other side of the city, Xu Youning, who was in the old house of the Kang family, was much calmer.

Since she was forced to tell Kang Ruicheng about her illness, she knew that Kang Ruicheng would definitely find a doctor for her. Everything she had hidden would be unveiled little by little in front of Kang Ruicheng.

At that time, what she needed to face was a great life-and-death crisis.

But now, she had solved the crisis without any effort.

She did not believe that it was luck. She was more willing to believe that this was a premeditated arrangement.

As for whether Mu Sijue was behind it or not, she would find evidence to confirm it.

“Auntie Youning.” Mumu pushed the door open and ran in. He jumped onto the bed and said, “I’ve finished drinking my milk!”

In fact, Mumu didn’t like to drink milk, but because of Xu Youning’s request, he still obediently had a glass of milk every morning and night.

Xu Youning’s reason was very simple—one could grow faster if one drank milk.

Her reason happened to conform to Mumu’s long-time desire—Mumu hoped that he could grow up quickly and be capable of protecting Xu Youning.

Because of this, the little kid drank his milk enthusiastically.

Xu Youning couldn’t tell Mumu that now, no one could protect her.

If she wanted to live well, she could only rely on herself to overcome all obstacles and difficulties.

Seeing Xu Youning lost in thought, Mumu shook her leg and asked, “Auntie Youning, why aren’t you listening to me?”

“I heard you.” Xu Youning smiled and got out of bed with the little fellow. “Let’s go brush your teeth.”

After entering the bathroom, Xu Youning took the little fellow’s toothbrush, helped him squeeze out the toothpaste, and then squatted down. “Open your mouth.”

Mumu opened his mouth obediently. “Ah—”

He could brush his teeth by himself, but when Xu Youning was there, he liked to rely on her.

Xu Youning was also willing to do these trivial and heart-warming things for the little fellow. She turned on the electric toothbrush, cleaned the little fellow’s teeth with a buzz, and finally took him back to the room.

After lying down, Mumu suddenly hugged Xu Youning.

Xu Youning was stunned and touched the little guy’s head. “What’s wrong?”

The little fellow shook his head. “Nothing. I want to sleep with you in my arms.”

Although Mumu was young, he had never done anything without reason.

Now, he obviously didn’t want to tell her the truth.

Xu Youning didn’t force Mumu. She smiled and patted him on the back to coax him to sleep.

After all, Mumu was a child. No matter how troublesome his worries were, he still fell asleep soon.

Xu Youning also closed her eyes and fell asleep with the little fellow.

A few hours later, the morning sun covered the darkness of yesterday and a new day arrived.

When Xu Youning took Mumu downstairs, Kang Ruicheng had just returned home.

Xu Youning was not surprised. When Kang Ruicheng was busy, he often didn’t come back at night, so she had said that even if he lived with Mumu, he couldn’t take care of Mumu.

“Good morning, Daddy!” After waking up, Mumu felt refreshed and energetic. His young voice was full of vitality. “Why did you come back only now?”

Kang Ruicheng was in a good mood. He picked Mumu up and said, “I’ve been helping Auntie Youning find a doctor.”

“Wow!” Mumu’s eyes lit up instantly. “Have you found one?”

“Of course.” Kang Ruicheng said, “After breakfast, we can take Aunt Youning to the hospital right away.”

“Okay!” Mumu clapped his hands happily. “In this way, Auntie Youning can get better!”

“You’re right!” Kang Ruicheng agreed with Mumu enthusiastically and then looked at Xu Youning. “A Ning, what do you think?”

Xu Youning didn’t want to go to the hospital right away.

If she guessed right and Mu Sijue already knew everything she had hidden, then Mu Sijue should help her deal with her treatment as well.

No matter which hospital Kang Ruicheng took her to, Mu Sijue needed time to arrange everything in the hospital in order to avoid her secret being exposed.

She needed to buy time for Mu Sijue.

Xu Youning shook her head and said, “I don’t want to go today.”

Before Kang Ruicheng could speak, Mumu had slipped down from his arms. He ran to Xu Youning and looked at her in confusion. “Auntie Youning, why don’t you want to see a doctor?”

Xu Youning tried her best to give a simple explaination that Mumu could understand. “I feel much better. I don’t want to go for the time being. When I feel uncomfortable, I will go, okay?”

Mumu pursed his lips. “I hope you can go now.”

“I don’t feel uncomfortable now. Even if I go to the hospital, the doctor can’t treat me.” Xu Youning tried her best to persuade the little fellow. “I want to stay at home with you. Can I go there in a few days?”

Mumu lowered his head and thought for a moment. He didn’t continue to press Xu Youning. He said reluctantly, “Well, you can ask Daddy about it again.”

Kang Ruicheng was as confused as Mumu. He frowned and looked at Xu Youning. “Do you really just want to stay at home to accompany Mumu?”

Xu Youning motioned for Kang Ruicheng to go out.

Persuading Mumu was not of much use to her. In the end, she still needed to convince Kang Ruicheng.

In the yard, Xu Youning said, “Whether I go to the hospital or not, the answer will be disappointing. I don’t want to face a disappointing answer so soon.”

“A Ning, you promised me that you would cooperate on the treatment.” Kang Ruicheng’s face darkened a little. “You can’t break your promise.”

“Don’t worry. I know I’m sick. It’s a matter of course for me to receive treatment. I won’t go back on my word.” After a pause, Xu Youning asked, “But can I postpone it by one day?”

Kang Ruicheng looked closely at her and found that there was fear in Xu Youning’s eyes.

He suddenly understood that it was not that Xu Youning didn’t want to see a doctor, but that she was afraid to hear the diagnosis that would be a death knell to her.

He remembered Xu Youning from a few years ago.

At that time, Xu Youning was still young, but there was fearlessness in her eyes as if she could carry anything that weighed on her shoulders with a smile.

This was the first time he had seen fear in Xu Youning’s eyes.

Death probably was a real threat to Xu Youning.

Kang Ruicheng’s heart softened almost instantly. He held Xu Youning in his arms and said softly, “Okay, let’s go to the hospital in a few days.”

“Okay.” Youning grabbed Kang Ruicheng’s clothes. She seemed to be touched, but in fact, her eyes were calm.

She no longer cared about the truth and lies.

Now, she just wanted to achieve her goal.
