Su Jianâan stayed at home with her two children, and finally, she could take a break. She fiddled with her phone and saw a news notification from a financial newspaper:
In the afternoon, the closing quotation stock price of Zhong Enterprises plummeted. Its major shareholders all asked to withdraw their funds from the company, and its senior executives handed in their resignation resolutely.
An insider told the newspaper that both the Zhong Enterprises and Zhong Family were in a mess.
It was obvious that someone was targeting the Zhong Enterprises, and this person had to be very powerful judging by that the Zhong Family, who was powerful as well, was defeated so quickly.
It was difficult to guess who this person was.
However, Su Jianâan knew who it was without guessing.
Nevertheless, Lu Boyan had never mentioned it to her.
When it almost got dark, Lu Boyan came back. Su Jianâan wanted to ask about the news of the Zhong family, but Lu Boyan took her to the fitting room upstairs.
In addition to their bedroom, the fitting room was the second place where they could make out in the house.
Su Jianâan blushed and quickly suppressed her indescribable emotions. âBoyan...â
Lu Boyan handed her a set of sportswear and said, âChange into it. You can ask me a question after you run every kilometer.â
Su Jianâan gritted her teeth and changed into her sportswear.
If Lu Boyan tried to force her to keep running in this way, she could only surrender and admit that Lu Boyan had come up with a good idea!
After warming up, Su Jianâan started running with Lu Boyan.
Because her legs were still sore, it was much harder for her to run than yesterday, and she could hardly move her feet.
However, for the chance to ask him questions, she gave it her all!
Lu Boyan didnât take pity on her. She was not good at exercising, so it was inevitable that she would feel pain during the process, but everything would be fine after she managed to overcome it.
After running for a kilometer, Su Jianâan stopped and her legs went so weak that she almost fell to the ground.
Lu Boyan quickly held her and said, âTake a deep breath. Donât sit down immediately.â
Su Jianâan took a few deep breaths. âI want to ask you about the Zhong Enterprises.â
âYes, itâs me who did it,â Lu Boyan said. âBecause Zhong Lyue was put into prison, the Zhong Family has always hated the Lu Enterprises. In this case, the best way to solve the matter is to make the Zhong Family leave City A.â
Su Jianâan expressed her doubts. âAre you sure?â
Lu Boyan took a deep look at her. âIf they leave City A now, they will still have a chance to make a comeback. If they insist on staying here, they will be ruined forever.â
Su Jianâan understood.
Lu Boyan forced the Zhong Family to leave City A just because he didnât want to see them in the city again, not because he was being considerate to them.
It made sense.
Since Tang Yulan was so badly injured because of the Zhong Family, Lu Boyan could not wait to turn the entire Zhong Family into ashes. How could he be considerate to them?
Su Jianâan finally understood why people said that the last person they wanted to mess with in City A was Lu Boyan.
However, she still had worries and asked hesitantly, âWill the Zhong Family fight back just as the Su Group did?â
Before their children were born, Lu Boyan had tried to acquire the Su Group.
Just as he was about to succeed, Kang Ruicheng suddenly invested secretly in the Su Group and became the CEO of the group.
Su Jianâan was afraid that such an accident would happen again.
âDonât worry. It wonât happen again,â Lu Boyan said. âThis time, Kang Ruicheng should be busy handling his own problems.â
Su Jianâan was excited to hear the words âbusy handling his own problemsâ.
She wanted to learn more details, but Lu Boyan said before she could ask any question, âIf you want to ask me another question, you need to run another kilometer.â
Su Jianâanâs eyes widened in shock. âAm I your wife?â
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and replied, âYes, but Iâm a man of principles.â
Su Jianâan was speechless and started to run silently.
After running for another two or three kilometers, Su Jianâan suddenly didnât feel that tired anymore and stopped panting heavily. She started to enjoy running.
After running five kilometers, Su Jianâan felt comfortable all over.
Lu Boyan smiled when he found that Su Jianâan no longer wore a bitter smile. âDo you find it enjoyable?â He asked.
Su Jianâan looked at the garden in the twilight and nodded. âIâve decided to run with you from tomorrow.â
As a medical examiner, she knew the human body better than most people in the world, so she naturally knew that if one wanted to remain healthy, he would need to do a certain amount of exercise.
Yuechuan had already fallen sick. She didnât want to fall sick, lie in the hospital for treatment, or make those who she loved worry about her.
Before falling asleep, Su Jianâan kept snuggling into Lu Boyanâs arms and pressed her body against his as if she wanted their bodies to merge into one.
Lu Boyan stroked Su Jianâanâs hair and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âYuechuan is going to receive his last treatment tomorrow. Iâm a little worried. What if...â
Su Jianâan couldnât bear to continue.
She couldnât face it if things went worse.
Lu Boyan wrapped his arms around her head tightly. âJiqing and Henry will do their best. If the treatment effect is not ideal, they will think of another way.â
âMm,â Su Jianâan said gloomily.
âJianâan, Yuechuan has a medical team,â Lu Boyan said softly. âLet those doctors take care of Yuechuanâs condition. You should have a good rest. You have to go to the hospital to accompany Yunyun and Yuechuan tomorrow, and I canât go with you as Iâm busy tomorrow.â
Su Jianâan nodded. âOkay.â
Lu Boyan kissed Su Jianâanâs forehead. âClose your eyes and sleep.â
Perhaps because Lu Boyanâs embrace eased her tension, Su Jianâan soon fell asleep.
The next day.
Lu Boyan had to attend some important meetings, so he went to the company early.
Su Jianâan thought for a moment and decided to take her two children with her to the hospital. She left them in Tang Yulanâs ward and asked Aunt Liu to take care of them. Then, she went to find Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan.
Shen Yuechuanâs treatment would begin at 10 oâclock, and there were still 30 minutes left.
Su Jianâan walked out of the elevator and saw Mu Sijue standing at the door of the ward. She was confused and asked, âSijue, why donât you go in?â
Mu Sijue replied, âYuechuan and Yunyun are in the room.â
Su Jianâan gave him a look of âI got itâ and stood side by side with Mu Sijue.
Both of them remained silent, which made the atmosphere a little embarrassing.
To ease the embarrassment, Su Jianâan said, âBoyan has something to do and will come in the afternoon.â
âHe told me about it.â Mu Sijueâs voice was indifferent. âIt doesnât matter. Since Iâm here, he doesnât need to come in person.â
Su Jianâan really didnât know what to say, and she just replied with a âhmmâ.
Mu Sijue didnât say anything more. He stood there with a poker face, like an ice sculpture. His cold aura seemed to be able to freeze the surrounding air.
Su Jianâan couldnât help rubbing her arms to keep them warm. She thought to herself, âNo wonder Youning always complains about Mu Sijue.â
It was too difficult for ordinary people to bear his pressing aura.
Su Jianâan was under a lot of pressure standing with him.
In the ward, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun had no idea what was happening outside.
They had been preparing for this day for a long time.
Xiao Yunyun had thought that she wouldnât be very nervous when this day came and that she would face it calmly.
However, since Shen Yuechuanâs fate would be determined this day, how could she not be nervous?
When Henry told her that it was almost time Shen Yuechuan received his treatment, Xiao Yunyunâs eyes became tearful. She grabbed Shen Yuechuanâs hand and said, âYou know, you are not my type.â
Xiao Yunyun had always told him that Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng were her types.
âYeah, I know. But itâs too late to regret.â With that, Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyunâs hand tightly. âWe are already engaged.â
âAs long as weâre not married yet, I could change my mind.â Xiao Yunyun grabbed Shen Yuechuan more and more tightly. âSo, youâd better come out safely this time. Otherwise, Iâll change my mind and go to pursue men like Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng.â
In the end, Xiao Yunyunâs eyes became tearful again.
Shen Yuechuan sighed. âSilly girl.â
He held Xiao Yunyun in his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her gently on the lips.
Xiao Yunyun closed her eyes and kept persuading herself not to cry. Shen Yuechuan was going to receive his last treatment soon, so she shouldnât make him worry.
She absolutely could not cry.
Xiao Yunyun finally held back her tears while Shen Yuechuan kissed her gently.
Not long after, her phone rang again. Henryâs urging voice came from the receiver. âYuechuan, you should get ready.â
Shen Yuechuan let go of Xiao Yunyunâs hands and rubbed her forehead intimately with his chin. âDonât cry. I will wake up tomorrow at the latest.â
Xiao Yunyun held back her tears and nodded.
She was a doctor as well, so she knew Shen Yuechuanâs treatment couldnât be delayed. She grabbed his hand and walked out, saying, âGo. Go to Henry.â
After changing his clothes, Shen Yuechuan lay on the operating bed and was pushed into the operating room.
Xiao Yunyunâs heart jumped quickly; she was so nervous. She grabbed Shen Yuechuanâs hand and followed him all the way.
Shen Yuechuan mouthed, âWait for me to come out after the treatment.â
Xiao Yunyunâs eyes became tearful once more. She wanted to say something, but she felt like there was a fireball stuck in her throat that she couldnât speak, no matter how hard she tried.
When they arrived at the operating room, the nurse stopped Xiao Yunyun. âPlease wait outside, miss.â
Xiao Yunyun was forced to let go of Shen Yuechuanâs hand, and she finally cried out, âYuechuan!â
The operating roomâs door closed with a click. It was unknown whether Shen Yuechuan heard Xiao Yunyunâs voice or not, but Xiao Yunyun could not hear his response.
All of a sudden, Xiao Yunyun burst into tears. She held onto the door of the operating room as if she wanted to push the door open.
Su Jianâan came over and held Xiao Yunyunâs shoulder with one hand. âYunyun, come with me and wait over there.â
Xiao Yunyun turned around and looked at Su Jianâan with tears in her eyes. âJianâan, I regretted it.â
Su Jianâan was confused. âWhat do you mean?â
Xiao Yunyun looked like she was about to cry. âBefore Yuechuan was pushed into the room, I threatened him that if he didnât hold on, I would find another boyfriend who is like my cousin and your husband.â
âHuh?â Su Jianâan was confused. âWhy do you want to find another boyfriend who is like my brother and Boyan?â
Xiao Yunyun said in a crying voice, âBecause they are my type!â After that, she suddenly realized that what Su Jianâan said was not the point...
Su Jianâan firmly believed that Xiao Yunyun, a naive girl, must have been deceived by all kinds of news reports that praised Lu Boyan.
Mu Sijue handed Xiao Yunyun a handkerchief but didnât say anything, but his expression showed that he despised Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun took the handkerchief, wiped her tears off, and looked at Mu Sijue in confusion. âBoss Mu, why are you looking at me like that?â
âDonât get me wrong,â Mu Sijue said, âIâm just thinking that you have poor taste. I canât believe you like Boyan.â
Xiao Yunyun was distracted by the topic and she asked curiously, âWhat kind of men should I like that you will think I have a good taste?â
Mu Sijue replied in a naturally proud tone, âOf course, men like me.â
