While Shen Yuechuan was thinking, Mu Sijue came down from upstairs.
Mu Sijue had regained his usual calm and dignified look, and the joy and anger he had experienced yesterday couldnât be seen at all.
Seeing Shen Yuechuan, Mu Sijue was not surprised. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and asked, âHave you had breakfast?â
âNot yet,â Shen Yuechuan said, âI came here as soon as I received Ah Guangâs call.â
Mu Sijue acted as if he didnât know what Shen Yuechuan was talking about. He asked lightly, âTogether?â
Shen Yuechuan didnât have much appetite, but driven by curiosity, he still followed Mu Sijue to the restaurant and sat opposite him.
Mu Sijue picked up the knife and fork and said, âIf you want to ask, go ahead.â
What he hated most was that other people swept over him with a curious sight.
Shen Yuechuan sat up straight, looked at Mu Sijue seriously, and asked, âXu Youning ran away. What are you going to do?â
He thought that Mu Sijue would say, âI donât have to do anything. Itâs just Xu Youning. I donât care if she runs away or not.â
However, Mu Sijueâs answer was far beyond his expectation.
âIâll find her back in the way how she ran away.â
Mu Sijueâs voice was calm, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
However, if one listened carefully, it wouldnât be difficult to hear his determination.
Shen Yuechuan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Mu Sijue had returned to his usual appearance. It turned out that he had had a plan for a long time.
After recovering from his surprise, Shen Yuechuan asked in a teasing tone, âYou admit your feelings for Xu Youning?â
âThere are a few things that I have to know.â Mu Sijue evaded the crucial point and said, âThe answer is on Xu Youning.â
âThatâs the only reason?â Shen Yuechuan didnât believe it. âDo you have anything else to say?â
Mu Sijue unhurriedly cut the sun egg on the plate and said, âI admit that she is very important to me.â
Shen Yuechuan looked at Mu Sijue. His right hand clenched into a fist, and he put it on his lips, but he still couldnât help laughing.
No matter what, it was a good thing that Mu Sijue was willing to face his feelings.
He patted Mu Sijueâs shoulder and said, âI understand your current mood.â
He stood up and was about to leave.
Mu Sijue looked at Shen Yuechuanâs untouched breakfast and asked, âArenât you hungry?â
Shen Yuechuan checked the time. âYunyun is about to wake up. I have to go back.â
When he went out, Xiao Yunyun was still asleep and didnât know that he had left. âIf the little girl canât see me when she wakes up, although she wonât be angry, she will definitely be unhappy.â
â... Letâs go.â Mu Sijue slightly glanced at Shen Yuechuan and said, âBut how are you going to deal with the things I told you?â
âMy weakness is in Kang Ruichengâs hands. Of course, the best solution is to kill Kang Ruicheng, but it canât be done for the time being.â Shen Yuechuan was relaxed and seemed to be free of any pressure. âIn that case, letâs just let nature take its course. We can do anything we want according to the situation.â
Mu Sijue never thought that Shen Yuechuan would have such an attitude. He looked at him and asked, âAre you affected by Yunyun?â
Shen Yuechuan raised the corner of his mouth, and there was sweetness in his smile. âI guess so.â
Mu Sijue really couldnât bear to see Shen Yuechuan like this. He waved his hand and said, âPiss off.â
âI have to admit that I envy Shen Yuechuan.
âHowever, the reason why Shen Yuechuan can be with Xiao Yunyun is that he has the courage to break through all obstacles.
âNext time I see Xu Youning, perhaps I should also take out this kind of courage...â
On the other side, Shen Yuechuan soon returned to the apartment.
As he expected, Xiao Yunyun woke up.
It was unknown if the traditional Chinese medicine made by Song Jiqing had side effects, but Xiao Yunyun preferred to sleep even more often than before. If she hadnât felt that Shen Yuechuan didnât seem to be by her side in a daze, she might have slept until the sky was dark.
When she reluctantly opened her eyes, sure enough, Shen Yuechuan left.
âItâs so early. Where did he go?â
Xiao Yunyun lifted the quilt and sat up. Her head was like a machine that had just been started. âI wonder where Iâm going to find Shen Yuechuan.â
Before she could come up with an answer, the door was pushed open, and then Shen Yuechuan came in.
Xiao Yunyun rubbed her sleepy eyes lazily and asked in a hoarse voice, âWhere have you been?â
âMu Qiâs place.â
The weather had gradually turned cold. Xiao Yunyun was only wearing a long-sleeved nightdress. Shen Yuechuan was worried that she would catch a cold, so he took a cardigan from the coat rack next to her and put it on her. He didnât forget to help her put it on.
Xiao Yunyun had been used to Shen Yuechuanâs care and consideration. She looked at him in a daze and asked, âWhy did you go to Boss Muâs place so early?â
â...â Shen Yuechuan paused for a moment and then said, âXu Youning left.â
Xiao Yunyun shivered and woke up in an instant. She widened her eyes and asked, âWhat happened?â
Shen Yuechuan told Xiao Yunyun the whole story of Xu Youningâs escape. After that, he found that Xiao Yunyunâs expression became very complicated.
He couldnât help but ask, âWhatâs wrong?â
Xiao Yunyun looked as if she was trying to figure out who she should really care about. She bit her lips and said, âYouning still could escape under such circumstance. I think she is very cool! But, Boss Mu must be very sad... Shouldnât I have such a reaction?â
âYou think too much,â Shen Yuechuan said lightly, âMu Qi is not sad at all.â
âHow is that possible?â Xiao Yunyunâs small face was full of disbelief. âBoss Mu clearly cares about Youning very much! Am I wrong?â
âYouâre right,â Shen Yuechuan continued, âalthough Xu Youning ran away, Mu Qi said that he would get her back.â
Xiao Yunyun was surprised and then said with a smile, âThis is in line with Boss Muâs style!â
âYes, thatâs right. Itâs Boss Mu!â
âI bought breakfast. I have your favorite steamed buns.â Shen Yuechuan asked, âAre you hungry?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Yunyun swallowed and said, âYeah.â
Shen Yuechuan knew that as long as there were small steamed buns, Xiao Yunyun would feel hungry even if she was not.
He picked her up and went into the bathroom. He looked down at her and said, âCall me when youâre done.â
He was about to put Xiao Yunyun down, but Xiao Yunyunâs hands around his neck showed no sign of letting go.
He raised his eyebrows in confusion. Suddenly, he saw Xiao Yunyun raise her head. Then, his lips felt the familiar softness and warmth.
âAll right.â Only then did Xiao Yunyun let Shen Yuechuan go with satisfaction. âPut me down.â
The injury on Xiao Yunyunâs leg was healing. It was not a problem for her to stand with one leg and wash up, but Shen Yuechuan was still worried. He reminded her a few times before leaving.
After breakfast, Xiao Yunyun found that it was already past Shen Yuechuanâs working time.
She looked at Shen Yuechuan gloatingly. âYouâre late. Will my cousin-in-law deduct your salary?â
âNo.â Shen Yuechuan kissed Xiao Yunyunâs lips. âYour cousin-in-law said that my most important task recently was to take good care of you.â
âWell!â Xiao Yunyun smiled. âIf thatâs the caseâSpecial Assistant Shen, your task is done very well. I can ask my cousin-in-law to give you a bonus!â
Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun with affection. âWhat should I do? I donât want to work.â
âNo way.â Xiao Yunyun resolutely pushed Shen Yuechuan. âYou are the right-hand man of my cousin-in-law. How can company work without you? Go to work right now! When you come back from work, we still have an entire night!â
The words âthe right-hand manâ made Shen Yuechuan ignore the ambiguous feeling of âan entire nightâ, reminding him of Kang Ruicheng.
âAccording to Kang Ruichengâs usual style, itâs very likely that Kang Ruicheng will put the blame on me for taking Xu Youning away from Mu Sijue. Itâs unknown when Kang Ruicheng will announce my relationship with Xiao Yunyun.â
Shen Yuechuanâs face became serious. âYou should be mentally prepared. Weââ
âI know.â Xiao Yunyun interrupted Shen Yuechuan with a bright smile. âItâs my choice to be with you. I donât care if itâs right or wrong, but Iâm willing to bear the consequences of my choice. You donât have to worry about me. Just work hard. Maybe there will be a turning point!â
Shen Yuechuan couldnât be as optimistic as Xiao Yunyun.
It was a fact that he and Xiao Yunyun were together, and it was also a fact that they were brother and sister. In this way, it was also a fact that they had violated the ethics.
They were destined to be criticized. How could there be a turning point?
However, Shen Yuechuan was glad to see Xiao Yunyun so optimistic. He kissed her and went to the company.
In the Lu Enterprises.
Lu Boyan had also heard about Xu Youningâs escape. As soon as Shen Yuechuan arrived, he went to Shen Yuechuan and asked him about the details.
After listening, Lu Boyan couldnât believe it and asked, âIs Mu Qi just going to let her go?â
âOf course not. Mu Qi wonât let go of Xu Youning so easily,â Shen Yuechuan said, âDonât worry. Mu Qi told me heâll find her back in the way how she ran away.â
In that case, Lu Boyan was not surprised. He opened the document and said, âI know. Youâre two hours late. Itâs time to work.â
Shen Yuechuan thought for a moment and said slowly, âI have something to tell you.â
Shen Yuechuanâs tone and expression were unprecedentedly serious and solemn.
Lu Boyan had known Shen Yuechuan for so many years, so he was too clear about Shen Yuechuanâs character and style. Even if it was a big event like âthe end of the worldâ, Shen Yuechuan would say it out with a completely unconcerned attitude.
âItâs rare for him to show such an expression. It can only mean that what heâs going to say is more important than anything else.â
Sure enough, Shen Yuechuan solemnly announced, âIâm with Yunyun.â
â...â
Some time ago, Su Jianâan occasionally said that Xiao Yunyun was in a good state. Even if she knew that her right hand could not recover, she was very optimistic.
Lu Boyan felt that it was a coincidence. He told Su Jianâan that Shen Yuechuan had been in a good state recently as well, and it seemed that he was in a good mood.
At that time, Su Jianâan had guessed something, but since Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun did not say anything, it was not convenient for them to ask.
âAfter hiding it from us for so long, Shen Yuechuan finally said it.â
Lu Boyan looked at Shen Yuechuan. âI thought you were going to keep it a secret.â
Shen Yuechuan was stunned.
âI thought that I and Xiao Yunyun had covered it up very well, but... Lu Boyan had already seen through it?
âIt doesnât make sense. Except for Su Jianâan, Lu Boyan does not have such delicate thoughts about others.
âThat is to say, it was very likely that Su Jianâan had discovered it, and then she told Lu Boyan.â
Shen Yuechuan did not forget Su Jianâanâs profession. He was not surprised to be discovered by her.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuechuan smiled helplessly. âI want to keep it a secret, but... I canât hide it anymore.â
Lu Boyan heard something unusual and asked in a serious voice, âWhatâs going on?â
