Chapter 768: Chapter 768 - I Thought I Could Still Keep It A Secret for A While

A bad feeling flashed through Xiao Yunyun’s mind. She tugged at Shen Yuechuan’s sleeve and said, “Shen Yuechuan.”

Shen Yuechuan opened his eyes and smiled at Xiao Yunyun, with his face being a little pale.

“What’s wrong with you?” Xiao Yunyun looked at him uneasily. “Our problem has been solved. Why are you...”

“I’m okay.” Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun’s face and kissed her on the forehead. “I’m just very happy.”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t quite believe his words. Shen Yuechuan didn’t look happy just now.

She still wanted to ask more, but Su Yunjin interrupted her and said, “Yunyun, there is one more thing that I forgot to tell you just now.”

Xiao Yunyun’s attention was diverted by Su Yunjin. “Mom, what’s the thing?”

Su Yunjin said, “After the car accident, the police found that you had an amulet with you. There seemed to be something inside. Your father kept it for you. I had planned to take the amulet to you this time so that you can miss your parents through it. But I was in such a hurry when I packed up that I forgot about it. I’ll remember to take it next time.”

For Xiao Yunyun, who had grown up in Australia, the amulet was a very novel thing.

Her parents must simply wish her peace by putting an amulet that carries such an obvious meaning on her.

Xiao Yunyun didn’t think too much about it. She just nodded with a smile and said, “Okay!”

When she looked back at Shen Yuechuan, his expression had returned to normal. His frown and pale face seemed to be her illusion just now.

“Was it really just an illusion?”

At this time, Luo Xiaoxi stood up from the sofa and suggested, “I think that we should celebrate.”

Su Jian’an echoed and asked, “How to celebrate?”

Xiao Yunyun made a proposal with great interest, but soon it was rejected by Luo Xiaoxi. She didn’t give up and ingratiated herself with Su Jian’an to persuade Luo Xiaoxi. The few of them began to discuss happily.

No one noticed that Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng, who were sitting on the other end of the sofa, looked dark and gloomy.

Su Yicheng closed the laptop and gave Lu Boyan a look.

Lu Boyan understood and called Shen Yuechuan, “Yuechuan, let’s go to the study.”

Su Yicheng held the laptop and stood up naturally. “I’ll go upstairs, too.”

Without waiting for anyone else to say anything, three tall and straight figures had already disappeared from the stairs.

Xiao Yunyun instantly forgot about her proposal and hurriedly held Su Jian’an’s hand. “Cousin, what are Cousin and Cousin-in-law going to do?”

“They—” Su Jian’an looked at Xiao Yunyun’s worried look and couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Actually, Xiao Yunyun had always been fairly worried about Shen Yuechuan.

But in order to hide her feelings, she had to beat around the bush before.

Now, she didn’t need to disguise herself anymore. She almost burst into tears.

Luo Xiaoxi leaned against the sofa and asked leisurely, “Yunyun, if Boyan and your cousin really want to do something to Yuechuan, what will you do?”

Although Xiao Yunyun had difficulty in moving, she was very clear-headed. “Only you and Cousin-in-law can stop them. Well, do me a favor!”

She blinked her eyes, and it was hard to refuse her.

“Don’t worry.” Su Jian’an handed Xiao Yunyun a glass of lemon water with honey. “They should just have something to tell Yuechuan. They won’t do anything to Yuechuan just because he hid his relationship with you from them.”

Xiao Yunyun replied with an “oh” and stared at the head of the stairs on the second floor. There was still a hint of worry in her eyes.

In the study on the second floor.

As soon as they entered the study, Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng wore a cold and serious look. Shen Yuechuan had already guessed something and asked spontaneously, “Do you guys know?”

Su Yicheng said, “Aunt has always said that your father passed away by accident. She has never explained the specific reason. I checked it out of curiosity.”

Lu Boyan looked at Shen Yuechuan and asked, “How are you now?”

Since both Su Yicheng and Lu Boyan knew about it, Shen Yuechuan didn’t have to hide it.

“I’m in the treatment for disease control,” Shen Yuechuan said frankly, “but the effect is not adequate.”

Lu Boyan suddenly thought of something and narrowed his deep eyes. “Daisy said that you often went to the hospital during this time. Are you in the treatment there?”

“Yes.” Shen Yuechuan sighed with regret. “I thought I could still keep it a secret for a while.”

Su Yicheng frowned deeply and thought of the major authoritative hospitals at home and abroad. In the end, he sadly realized that no matter which hospital he would send Shen Yuechuan to, Xiao Yunyun would definitely collapse.

Xiao Yunyun could stay optimistic, even if she was framed by Lin Zhixia for pocketing the red packet, even if her relationship with Shen Yuechuan was exposed. Because the opinions from the outside world could not hurt her.

However, Shen Yuechuan’s illness would be a real blow. How could she convince herself to be optimistic?

Lu Boyan suddenly broke the silence and said, “Yuechuan, you resign.”

Not only Shen Yuechuan who was called out, but also Su Yicheng looked at Lu Boyan in surprise.

Lu Boyan said, “The company needs you, but Yunyun needs you more. You can focus on your treatment first and then go back to work after you recover.”

Shen Yuechuan firmly refused. “Kang Ruicheng will take the next action soon after this plan failed. I can’t leave the company now.”

“No matter what Kang Ruicheng is going to do next, Mu Qi and I can handle it,” Lu Boyan said decisively.

“I know Kang Ruicheng. With my help, you will have a less difficult time.” Shen Yuechuan insisted, “Kang Ruicheng spent so much effort in cooperating with Lin Zhixia so as to let me leave the company. If you ask me to resign, it will just fulfill Kang Ruicheng’s wish, won’t it?”

“Being jointly forced to resign by the shareholders is totally different from voluntary resignation.” It was rare for Lu Boyan to say so much at a time. “Your illness can’t be delayed anymore. You take into account the company’s situation, and I also have to take into account Yunyun’s mood after she knows about your illness.”

Shen Yuechuan quickly calmed down and tried to think of a way to convince Lu Boyan to let him stay in the company.

After all, there was a tacit understanding between Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan for many years. He saw through what Shen Yuechuan was thinking at a glance and interrupted him without leaving leeway. “Don’t think about it. If you don’t want to submit your resignation, I’m very willing to fire you and find the best doctor for you.”

“...”

Shen Yuechuan was defeated immediately.

They had known each other for so many years. Although they were not related by blood, they were like real brothers. Before Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an got married, except for Mu Qi, he was the only one who knew that Lu Boyan liked Su Jian’an.

That was the reason why he was even more unwilling to tell Lu Boyan about his illness. He was sure that Lu Boyan would ask him to leave the company for treatment without any room for negotiation.

In the end, Shen Yuechuan made a compromise. “Let’s both take a step back. I will fully cooperate on the treatment, but I can’t leave the company. I’ll continue to work not only for the sake of defending against Kang Ruicheng but also because I don’t want Yunyun to know my illness for the time being.”

After a pause, Shen Yuechuan added, “Don’t worry, I haven’t been in the worst stage yet. I can handle my work.”

If Lu Boyan dismissed him, he would have nowhere to go and would have to stay in the apartment all day long. Xiao Yunyun would suspect him sooner or later.

However, Xiao Yunyun’s injury had not yet recovered. In addition, she could be with Shen Yuechuan openly just now. It was indeed not suitable for her to know about Shen Yuechuan’s illness now.

Su Yicheng cast a glance at Lu Boyan, indicating that he could agree.

Lu Boyan finally agreed, but he still emphasized, “Once your situation becomes worse...”

Before Lu Boyan could finish his words, Shen Yuechuan had interrupted, “Don’t worry, once my situation becomes worse, I will go to the hospital immediately without you telling me. I also want to survive.”

In the study, the atmosphere was a little heavy for a while.

Shen Yuechuan didn’t like the heavy atmosphere. He pretended to feel relaxed and said, “I’ve agreed to your request. Would you please do me a favor? There can be an onset of my illness at any time. If Yunyun is with me then, help me cover it up. It’s not very troublesome. You can just distract Yunyun’s attention like my mother did just now. By the way, the food is the best tool.”

He was not demanding too much. Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng should agree to his request without hesitation.

However, they just stared at Shen Yuechuan and didn’t speak for a long time.

Shen Yuechuan’s hair stood on end under their gaze. He teased, “Normally, only young women would stare at me in this way.”

Su Yicheng asked, “How did you call Aunt just now?”

Only then did Shen Yuechuan realize that he had just unconsciously called Su Yunjin “Mom”.

Although he hadn’t called Su Yunjin mom since his family background was revealed, the fact that Su Yunjin was his mother had already been deeply engraved in his mind.

He was grateful to Su Yunjin for returning as soon as she knew that his relationship with Xiao Yunyun was revealed on the Internet.

Probably, that was the reason why he had accepted Su Yunjin from the bottom of his heart.

Su Yicheng teased Shen Yuechuan in return. “You’ve changed the way you call Aunt. When are you going to call me Cousin?”

Shen Yuechuan wittily glanced at Lu Boyan, raised his eyebrows, and said, “I will call you Cousin whenever he calls you Cousin.”

“...” Lu Boyan pretended that he hadn’t heard anything and turned to walk out of the study.

Downstairs, the others had already come to an agreement on how to celebrate. Everyone had agreed to go out and have a great meal to celebrate. They had already informed Tang Yulan.

When they arrived at the hotel, Luo Xiaoxi said, “There are many shopping malls nearby. After dinner, how about we go shopping?”

Xiao Yunyun had stayed at home for too long. Finally, she had a chance to come out. She immediately raised her left hand and said, “I’m going!”

She was really happy that she could eat all over the street without hesitation!

Su Jian’an hesitated because the two little guys were still at home.

Even if she was interested in something, nothing was more important to her now than being with her little guys.

Tang Yulan saw through Su Jian’an’s hesitation and said, “Jian’an, don’t worry. After dinner, I’ll take care of Xiyu and Xiangyi. You can go shopping and buy some winter clothes for them.”

Su Jian’an finally had nothing to worry about, and nodded. “Okay.”

When this group of people was celebrating in the hotel, Kang Ruicheng, who was far away in the old house of the Kang family, was crazily smashing things...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
