After the meal, Xiyu and Xiangyi woke up.
After the breast feeding, they were full and then lay side by side on the bed, accompanied by Su Jianâan and Lu Boyan.
After the two babies were born, no matter how busy Lu Boyan was, he would take time to accompany them every day.
The reason was very simple. When Lu Boyan was very young, his father also accompanied him like this, even if he had no impression of that now.
Besides, the children needed to grow up with their fatherâs company. Before they became adults, he did not want to miss any day of their growth.
Later, Xiyu and Xiangyi fell asleep obediently. Aunt Liu came upstairs to accompany the children, and Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan returned to their own room.
Su Jianâan had just taken a shower. So after washing her face and brushing her teeth, she lay down on the bed.
Lu Boyan also lay down. He held her in his arms and played with her long hair, and rarely did not go further.
Su Jianâan suddenly sighed. âI wonder how Youning and Sijue are doing.â
âThey are both adults, and they should be responsible for their own decisions,â Lu Boyan said, âso if you find that there is nothing surprising after investigating the matter of Xu Youningâs pregnancy, just leave them alone.â
Su Jianâan knew that Lu Boyan was afraid that she would get tired, so he did not want her to get overmuch involved in the affairs between Mu Sijue and Xu Youning.
After all, their affairs were so elaborate that it would take a lot of effort to thoroughly investigate them.
Su Jianâan grabbed Lu Boyanâs clothes with some hesitation.
Lu Boyan held her soft hand and gently stroked it. âWhatâs wrong?â
âI always have a feeling,â Su Jianâan said, âthat Youning is hiding something from us. Maybe... even Sijue doesnât know about it.â
âUh-huh.â Lu Boyan guided Su Jianâan to go on. âSo?â
âI hope that I can find out the truth,â Su Jianâan said, âfor if I have a correct feeling that Youning really has some secrets, there may be a turning point for her and Sijue.â
Lu Boyan thought for a moment and said, âIf you need help, let me know at any time.â
Su Jianâan looked at Lu Boyan with a smile and said, âYou also donât want Sijue to be separated from Youning, do you?â
âI donât care about Xu Youning.â Lu Boyanâs voice was cold, and then he emphasized, âI just donât want Mu Qi to be decadent.â
â...â Su Jianâan continued as if she hadnât heard Lu Boyanâs words, âIf there is really a misunderstanding between Sijue and Youning, as long as I help them solve it, they can be together again. At that time, weâll make no distinctions between them. If you care about Sijue, you care about Youning!â
She had always known that although Lu Boyan did not hate Xu Youning, he did not welcome her because Xu Youning was Kang Ruichengâs subordinate. However, since Mu Sijue liked Youning, it was improper for him to express his rejection.
Su Jianâan was different. She liked Youning all the time.
Lu Boyan was confused. âJianâan, Xu Youning did something bad to you. Why did you forgive her so easily?â
âBecause it was not her original intention,â Su Jianâan said, âand I always believe that Youning wonât hurt us.â
Xu Youning had received some special training, carried out Kang Ruichengâs instructions, and also acted as a bounty hunter.
Su Jianâan did not know that Xu Youningâs hands were stained with the blood of countless people.
Once Kang Ruichengâs power was destroyed, Xu Youning would lose her shelter and be listed on the wanted list of the international criminal police.
The worst thing was that Mu Sijue hated Xu Youning so much that he would no longer help her again.
Xu Youning had better have some secrets which could reawaken Mu Sijueâs affections for her.
Otherwise, coupled with Mu Sijueâs hatred for her, she would definitely have a difficult time in the future. Then Su Jianâan would have to worry about her for an unknown period.
Noticing that Lu Boyan was distracted, Su Jianâan pulled his sleeve. âHoney, what are you thinking about?â
Lu Boyan sighed in his heart.
He was mainly thinking about how to comfort Su Jianâan, who would silly feel sorry for Xu Youning, if the latter really fell into a miserable fate.
However, since it had not happened, Su Jianâan did not need to know those things yet.
âNothing.â Lu Boyan stroked Su Jianâanâs back. âLetâs sleep.â
Su Jianâan had not rested for a whole day, and also, her strength was greatly consumed in the afternoon. At the moment, lying in Lu Boyanâs arms, she felt at ease and became sleepy.
After hearing Lu Boyanâs words, she closed her eyes obediently and soon fell asleep.
They slept soundly all night.
The next day, in the Kangâs familyâs residence.
Xu Youning took Mumu downstairs and happened to hear Ah Jin reporting Mu Sijueâs whereabouts to Kang Ruicheng.
Ah Jin said, âBrother Cheng, the news is reliable that Mu Sijue has taken Mrs. Zhou back to City G. What should we do next?â
Before giving an answer, Kang Ruicheng noticed Xu Youningâs figure.
He beckoned Xu Youning over and asked, âA Ning, what do you think we should do next?â
âPay attention to Lu Boyanâs and Mu Sijueâs every move and be on guard against them,â Xu Youning blurted out without thinking.
As she spoke, she carried Mumu to the chair casually.
However, Kang Ruicheng knew her well and knew that she was serious.
Only Ah Jin looked confused. âWhy should we guard against Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue?â
Xu Youning filled a bowl of congee for Mumu and explained, âAunt Zhou is like Mu Sijueâs biological mother, and Tang Yulan is Lu Boyanâs mother. You hurt the two old people so badly, will Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue let you go so easily?â
Ah Jin nodded as if he suddenly understood. âI see.â
Kang Ruicheng obviously agreed with Xu Youning, so he just turned to say to Ah Jin, âJust do as Miss Xu said. Pay close attention to what Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue do recently. Now, you can leave.â
âYes.â
Ah Jin nodded, glanced at Xu Youning, silently complained about the womanâs ruthlessness, and then left the old house of the Kangâs family.
Then, Kang Ruicheng asked Xu Youning, âWhat about you? What are you going to do?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Youning knew what Kang Ruicheng was asking, and she took a sip of congee and said, âIâm going to have a checkup first.â
When Xu Youning was at the apartment yesterday, Doctor Liu had specially told her that after such a long time, her situation might have changed. Sheâd better go back to the hospital for a checkup.
Kang Ruicheng also heard Doctor Liu.
Kang Ruicheng nodded. âIâll go with you.â
Xu Youningâs heart skipped a beat, and several excuses flashed through her mind. She checked them one by one, trying to pick the most convincing one.
She worked with Doctor Liu to deceive Kang Ruicheng, saying that the child in her belly could not be removed.
The purpose of her checkup today was to find out whether her child was affected by the blood clot and was still alive or not.
But if Kang Ruicheng went with her, it would be very inconvenient for her to communicate with Doctor Liu. They would not only be unable to reveal many things before Kang Ruicheng, but also would probably be exposed. This trip would be useless.
Xu Youning quickly found an excuse. âYou should be very busy, so you donât have to accompany me. I can do it alone.â
Kang Ruicheng frowned and seemed to be dissatisfied with someone. âA Ning, how can I let you do it alone?â
Xu Youning knew that at this time, she could not keep explaining to Kang Ruicheng and only caring about him.
In this case, Kang Ruicheng would always yield to rejecting force instead of soft approach.
Xu Youning put down the spoon and looked at Kang Ruicheng coldly, with a sneer on her lips. âAre you worried that I canât do it alone or that Iâm untrustworthy?â
She did not hide her doubts at all.
Kang Ruicheng hurriedly explained, âA Ning, you think too much. Iâm just worried that you canât do it alone. Youâre already back. How can I worry that youâre untrustworthy?â
Xu Youningâs eyes twinkled with upset, and her voice softened. âSorry, I thought too much...â
Yes, it was time for her to show her weakness now. Kang Ruicheng would definitely fall for it.
It turned out that Xu Youningâs decision was very wise. As soon as she showed her weakness and upset, Kang Ruicheng looked much gentler.
Kang Ruicheng suddenly realized that Xu Youning hated to be distrusted by others the most.
She had just escaped from Mu Sijue, and she must be very sensitive now. It was understandable that even his little doubt could cause a huge reaction from her.
Kang Ruicheng finally said, âI can let you go alone, but when you come back, you have to tell me the result of the checkup truthfully.â
Xu Youning nodded and said, âIâll take Mumu with me. Go ahead with your own business.â
Kang Ruicheng did not say anything else.
There was a reason why he did not insist on going with Xu Youning.
On the surface, he already trusted Xu Youning.
However, Mu Sijue had made it very clear that Kang Ruicheng was the murderer of Granny Xu.
Even if Xu Youning showed her suspicion about Mu Sijueâs words after coming back and took the initiative to confirm whether he had killed her grandma or not, no one could prove that Xu Youning really trusted him.
Kang Ruicheng was somewhat suspicious that Xu Youning had already believed in Mu Sijue, so she came back to work undercover and take revenge on him.
He promised to let Xu Youning see the doctor alone because it was a chance to test Xu Youning.
If Xu Youning really believed in him, then Xu Youning would tell him the truth about her illness, and the result of her checkup should be also consistent with what she had said.
If instead he found that Xu Youning was hiding something from him, or that she told a lie about her illness, then undoubtedly, Xu Youning did come back for revenge. Thus, he would kill her.
He did have feelings for Xu Youning, and Mumu liked her very much. If Xu Youning agreed to be with him, he and Mumu would both be very happy.
However, he did not need a woman who loved Mu Sijue to stay with him. It was too dangerous.
After breakfast, Xu Youning took Mumu to the hospital.
Mumu could feel that Xu Youning was in a bad mood, so he sat on the car seat obediently and looked at Xu Youning without saying anything.
He did not know what Xu Youning was worried about.
Only Xu Youning knew that she was worried about her child.
At this point, whether the child was alive or not, it was a huge regret for her...
