In the later period of her pregnancy, Su Jianan became more and more drowsy.
However, she didnât know why she had often been awakened at night if Lu Boyan hadnât returned home.
Just like that moment, when she felt a change around her, she opened her eyes almost subconsciously and saw Lu Boyan lying down.
Lu Boyan had tried his best not to make any noises. He found that Su Jianan was awake, so he asked in surprise, âDid I disturb you?â
Su Jianan shook her head and said in a lazy voice, âNo.â Then she leaned into Lu Boyanâs arms and said, âI canât sleep unless you come back.â
Lu Boyan apologetically kissed Su Jiananâs forehead and said, âI will come back as soon as possible in the future.â
Only if he came back, Su Jianan would be at ease. She murmured and sank into her sweet dream within half a minute.
Lu Boyan looked at the sleeping Su Jianan, unconsciously turning his lips into a smileâ
Tang Yulan had asked him to go home as early as possible in the evening, to reassure Su Jianan.
He then realized that Su Jianan didnât disbelieve him; she was just in no humor to care about whether he would do anything out of line.
Lu Boyan hugged Su Jianan tightly and soon fell asleep.
In another place under the same night sky, someone was wondering whether to enter the house or not.
Kang Ruichengâs purpose as CEO of the Su Group was obviousâto launder his illegally obtained money and to compete with Lu Boyanâs businesses.
The business world was like Lu Boyanâs home field, so Mu Sijue was not worried that Lu Boyan would lose.
What worried him was that Kang Ruicheng would continue to use inhuman methods. So he had to find out the truth about the collapse of Fanting Garden and completely prove that Lu Enterprises was innocent.
And the truth might have been found out by Xu Youning.
He took Xu Youning to City A to deal with the matter, without having expected that he would be seen through by Lu Boyan.
âIt wonât work. Even if you can find someone with a similar appearance and personality as her, you know very well that itâs not her,â Lu Boyan said.
He thought those words over and over again, but he was anxious to prove that Lu Boyan was wrong. Then he turned back and drove toward the pub street downtown.
It was easy to pick up a woman on the pub street in a metropolis like City A.
He just didnât expect to leave the bar with a drunk woman in his arms and meet Xu Youning face to face, on his way to the hotel.
Xu Youning had just finished the work Mu Sijue had told her to do. She didnât want to go back that early so she wandered about on the pub street. She didnât plan to go for a drink but saw something out of her expectationâMu Sijue was holding a woman around the waist and the intimate two were walking out from a bar.
From the postures and the romance between the two, it wasnât difficult to tell that their next destination was a hotel.
Xu Youning looked up to the sky, thinking, âI nearly became crippled because of working for Mu Sijue, but heâs enjoying his time with a sexy lady. Thatâs really... unfair.â
Mu Sijue saw Xu Youning and then turned his lips into a smile. He tossed her the car key and said, âTake us to the Four Seasons Hotel.â
âMay I...?â Xu Youning wanted to decline because she didnât want to drive for the two who seemed to have lost control of their sexual desires.
However, before she could finish her words, Mu Sijue said in a cold voice, âYou canât say no.â
Xu Youning didnât have the strength to fight against Mu Sijue, so she had to drive his luxury car and pulled over beside him. Seeing Mu Sijue not about to get in it, she asked in bewilderment, âDo you just want me to drive your car back to your house?â
Mu Sijue kicked the door and said in a cold voice, âGet off and open it.â
Xu Youning was about to explodeââIs Mu Sijue thinking that Iâm his driver?â
âDamn, just watch yourself!â
To Mu Sijueâs surprise, Xu Youning got out of the car and opened the door for him. She also respectfully made a âpleaseâ gesture to him.
He stared at Xu Youning and then gracefully asked the sexy lady to get in the car first. She kissed his cheek and said, âThank you.â
Xu Youning raised her chin, rolling her eyes. Then she slammed the door and sat in the driverâs seat. As soon as she fastened the seat belt, she glimpsed from the rear-view mirror that Mu Sijue was holding the lady in his arms, deeply kissing her.
âHmm...â The smart lady touched Mu Sijueâs neck with her soft fingers and immersed her upper body in his arms with proper sexuality and allure.
Xu Youning was amazed. âIs she too open, or am I a nobody?â
Then she looked closely at Mu Sijue, who was obviously fond of that kind of lady and was enjoying the kiss. He naturally fondled the ladyâs long, slender legs with one hand, and all of his motions looked sexy.
Xu Youning thought, âHow dare you act that way before me in the evening. What the f*ckââ
Xu Youning indignantly stepped on the accelerator and the car suddenly ran. The two jerked forwards in the back seats and the lady gently gave a cry of fear. Then Mu Sijue held her tightly and whispered to her, âIâm with you, itâs okay.â
The lady gave a happy smile to him at once and raised her lips. Mu Sijue kissed her again and a romantic, sexy atmosphere returned to the back seat...
Xu Youningâs trick failed.
âWait. Am I playing a trick on them?â
Xu Youning realized that she was taking offense as if her favorite toy had been touched with disdain. A small cluster of flames was burning fiercely within her heart, and she could not wait to open the door and throw the two in the backseat out of the car.
âXu Youning, hurry up.â
Just then, Mu Sijueâs urging came from the back and his voice sounded quite calm.
Xu Youning didnât notice those details, thinking that Mu Sijue could not repress his sexuality. So she said, âHmm. Got it, no problem!â
As she slammed on the accelerator and sharply spun the steering wheel, the car made a perfect turn, as if it was driving by a professional racer. The lady in the backseat, who had been immersed in the kisses almost fell in disorder. She hugged Mu Sijue in panic and snorted, âWhatâs wrong with the driver?â
Mu Sijue frowned and said in a low, angry voice, âXu Youning!â
âYou told me to hurry up.â Xu Youning smiled as if it had nothing to do with her and asked, âAre you satisfied with it?â
Mu Sijue could easily cope with that; but the lady in his arms was like a frightened bird, timidly curling itself up, with her pretty eyes filled with pity and innocence.
The romantic and sexy atmosphere just a while ago had faded away.
Mu Sijue then realized that it was a wrong decision to have Xu Youning drive for him. From the very beginning, he hadnât devoted himself to the kisses at all.
What he was caring about was only how Xu Youning would react.
And she didnât disappoint himâ
When they were four kilometers away from the Four Seasons Hotel, a police car with sirens wailing overtook them and a policeman said over the loudspeaker that they were supposed to stop immediately.
âFinally!â Xu Youning thought.
Xu Youning resisted the urge to snicker and stopped the car obediently. A traffic police officer quickly walked toward it, knocked at the driverâs door and said, âYou were exceeding the speed limit by 60%. Please get out of the car and show me your driverâs license.â
âDriverâs license?â Xu Youning shrugged and said, âI didnât bring it with me.â
âThen you must excuse me,â said the officer, âwe have to take you to the transportation bureau.â
Xu Youning looked back to the back seats with an innocent look on her face and said, âIâm sorry. I wanted to hurry to the hotel and I didnât expect to delay you...â
Mu Sijue made a sour face and said nothing, while the lady in his arms who seemed weak gave Xu Youning an angry stare.
Xu Youning understood her very well. If the cooked duck in her hand flew away, she would not just stare at the troublemaker and she was likely to stab him!
When they reached the transportation bureau, Mu Sijue said to the lady, âGo back now.â
She held Mu Sijueâs arm and asked reluctantly, âHow about you?â
She was loath to part with Mu Sijue, the best man she had ever seen on regards to appearance as well as manners, and she had taken great efforts to get his attention that night. If she left alone, what she had done would be in vain.
Mu Sijue called a taxi for her and prepaid the fare. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and said, âItâs my car so I canât leave now.â
âIâll stay with you.â The lady was still reluctant to get in the taxi and she said, âI donât mind it.â
âBut I do.â Mu Sijueâs voice was still gentle but his eyes were cold, which was a sign that his patience was running out. He said, âYou donât belong here.â
His words sounded flattering, however, the lady inexplicably felt scared. She kissed Mu Sijueâs cheek and got in the taxi to leave.
Xu Youning, who was watching them not far away, had already gotten goose pimples.
She thought, âItâs really shocking that Mu Sijue is comforting a lady.â
At the bureau, it was already 2 a.m. after they finished all the formalities.
The car was temporarily detained, so Xu Youning called a taxi. As soon as she got in it, she slanted her head to have a rest.
As she was about to fall asleep, Mu Sijue asked in a cold voice, âXu Youning, did you do that on purpose?â
âWhat?â Xu Youning replied vaguely, âYeah, that lady...â
She wanted to say that the lady didnât deserve Mu Sijue.
âBut who deserves him? Would that be me?â Xu Youning thought.
âOh, in all the world, Iâm the last who deserves Mu Sijue. I canât even say if someone deserves him or not.â
Realizing that, Xu Youning felt inexplicably upset. So she stopped thinking about it and fell asleep.
In Mu Sijueâs eyes, Xu Youning didnât explain much and she just fell asleep with her words unfinished. When the car turned, she was tilted and her head was suddenly rested on his shoulder.
As he usually did, he would push Xu Youning away.
Looking at her defenseless face, however, he was hesitant.
âHow dare she, an undercover person, sleeping so soundly with her target alone?â He thought.
âHumph, does she underestimate me or does she have infinite confidence in herself?â
After half an hour, the taxi stopped in front of the villa. Xu Youning probably felt it because her eyelashes moved. Mu Sijue almost subconsciously pushed her to the other side and got off himself.
Xu Youning was still sleeping in the taxi. She leaned against the door and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
The driver was embarrassed and said, âItâs... Sir, could you wake up your girlfriend?â
Mu Sijue silently opened the door and Xu Youning slipped out of the taxi. The sudden weightlessness woke her up. She immediately grabbed the door and stood on her feet.
She could tell that Mu Sijue disdained to wake her up, so he took her out of the taxi as if she were garbage. Since Mu Sijue had never been gentle to her and she was used to it, she casually walked away and entered the house.
Mu Sijue followed Xu Youning and watched her staggering upstairs. He suddenly said, âXu Youning.â
Xu Youning stopped; with her almost begging eyes she looked back at Mu Sijue and said, âIâm sleepy. Are you going to kill me? Whatever, letâs talk about it tomorrow, shall we?â
Mu Sijue gloomily looked at her and didnât speak. Xu Youning thought he had acquiesced in her living there one more day and she ran back to the room as if she had gotten an amnesty.
