Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 289 Do You Want to Marry Me? (1)

At 11 o’clock in the evening, Fanting Garden.

The cold wind of winter night was like a knife, and the collapsed building had become a ruin, revealing an inexplicable gloominess.

In order not to be discovered, Ah Guang parked the car in the ground parking lot of Phase III, and they walked to the site of the collapse accident.

Originally, Xu Youning was just behind Mu Sijue, but she was getting closer and closer to him.

Mu Sijue always disliked the closeness from others, so he looked at Xu Youning coldly, who then immediately smiled at him in a pitiful way. “Seventh Brother, I am a little scared.”

“Oh—” Mu Sijue sneered with disapproval, “is there still a thing that you Xu Youning is afraid of in this world?”

Xu Youning pointed to the ruins in front and said, “People died there! Have you heard that the souls of those people who unexpectedly died would stay for seven days…? Today is the second day! I don’t want to see ghosts…”

Mu Sijue did not believe in ghosts and gods, and naturally sneered at what she had just said, not even wanting to look at her again.

Outside the warning line at the scene of the accident, Mu Sijue gave Ah Guang a look, who quickly understood, and ran to the two policemen in a panic, shouting, “Police officer, police officer!”

The policeman heard the voice and stood up. “What’s wrong?”

“I, I, I live in the building over there!” Ah Guang pointed to a building of the third phase, “I just got home from work, parked the car downstairs and found out that the light in my room was lit, I think there might be a thief in my house!”

“The security job of this community has been performing well. I have never heard of thieves,” the police said, “did you forget to turn off the lights when you went out?”

“Impossible!” Ah Guang said firmly, “I went out in the morning, and did not turn on the lights before going out! The security of this community has done a good job so far, but now there’s a collapse accident. Who can guarantee that there will be no thieves taking the opportunity to mix in?”

After a pause, Ah Guang continued to say, “I originally wanted to call the police, but I am not sure if it is a false alarm. The security guard at the lobby told me that there are two police officers here, so I came to you. Can you accompany me to go up and check?”

The two policemen agreed to it with a slight indulgence, “Okay, let’s go check it with you. Anyway, there is nothing to protect in this scene, let’s just take a rest.”

“Thank you, officer!”

Ah Guang quickly led the police away; Mu Sijue pulled Xu Youning across the cordon and entered the scene of the accident.

Xu Youning put on the night vision goggles, clapped her hands, and looked like she was going to do something big. “Seventh Brother, what are we going to do?”

Mu Sijue looked around and said, “The reason why Lu Enterprises was identified as the responsible party, in addition to the confession throwing negative light to Lu Enterprises. Another reason is that there is no suspicious investigation on the scene.”

Xu Youning looked confused. “There are no suspicious things at the scene, so why are we still here in the middle of the night?”

“No suspicious things is what makes it the most suspicious,” Mu Sijue’s eyes were as sharp as blades, behind the night vision goggles, “The police must have ignored some key clues, we have to find out.”

“It must be the most common thing on the construction site, so that the police didn’t notice,” Xu Youning said, “So, the more common things are more suspicious! We have to think about it backwards!”

In the darkness, Mu Sijue put on a smile, which was difficult to tell whether she was appreciated or teased, “You aren’t stupid enough to be hopeless.”

Xu Youning made a face to him, and turned to find something.

She looked very carefully with her eyes, not letting go of any corner.

As she said, she also wanted to help Su Jianan, which was probably why Mu Sijue took her to the scene.

If she found the murderer, maybe she could help Su Jianan teach the guy how to be a good man!

However, Xu Youning never imagined that she would see such a thing—nobody knew about it, except for that person and a few people including her.

Not to mention a few buildings, it could destroy the entire community.

Xu Youning looked back at Mu Sijue subconsciously. He maintained a distance of no more than 6 meters from her, but he was not paying attention to her at the moment.

She had some chaos in her mind, but in the end, Xu Youning quickly picked things up and put them in her pockets.

The action was too quick and the palm seemed to have been cut, but she had no time to take care of it, she just made a fist to stop bleeding—this could provide a good excuse for her nervousness.

Then, Xu Youning was in a mess.

She seemed to be standing at the junction of two worlds and being pulled by two forces.

Which side should she be on?

Why was Mu Sijue the person who turned over the case for her father?

Why was her also the one framing Lu Enterprises?

Why did fate joke with her in such a way?

“Have you found anything?”

With the voice of Mu Sijue approaching, his footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Xu Youning spent two seconds to hide her emotions, stood up, and shook her head in disappointment. “Nothing.”

Mu Sijue did not suspect her, and raised his chin toward the distance. “Me neither, let’s go there and see.”

He walked in front, Xu Youning looked at his straight back which was terrifiying, and suddenly felt lucky that it was at night.

If it were daytime, her panic and uneasiness would surely be noticed by his sharp eyes.

An hour later, Ah Guang sent a message saying that he could do it and the police returned.

Xu Youning and Mu Sijue had looked around twice and found nothing.

Mu Sijue was obviously very dissatisfied with the results. He frowned and the eyes behind the night vision goggles were dark like ink. There was a coldness along with the sharpness, which looked like he was pushing people away.

Xu Youning couldn’t see through what Mu Sijue was thinking, thinking that he was angry, so she walked over and whispered, “Seventh Brother, let’s go back and see if we can find something during the day if we have opportunity.”

She admired herself for she could even tell such a lie without feeling anything.

She knew clearly, unless she took out the things in her pocket. Otherwise, Mu Sijue would not find anything, and Lu Enterprises would be judged guilty.

Mu Sijue answered and took Xu Youning back to the parking place, Ah Guang had been waiting in front of the car. He respectfully opened the door of the back seat for him, but he said: “No, I’ll drive back by myself.”

Mu Sijue had already sat in the driver’s seat before Ah Guang even realized it; Xu Youning was also a bit confused for a while, and did not know whether she should get in the car.

Mu Sijue lowered the window and looked at Xu Youning coldly. “Do you want to spend the night here?”

Xu Youning took a breath and ran to the front door of the passenger seat, sprinting as if she were in a 100 meters race. She opened the door and smoothly sat down, as if she were really afraid that Mu Sijue was going to leave her there.

The car was quickly started. When they returned to the villa, Xu Youning ran to open the door. After entering, she took out slippers for Mu Sijue, then sat down and changed hers. She said, “It is suspicious that there is no nothing at the scene. It is also very suspicious that the confession is unfavourable to Lu Enterprises. We can check the people who have been questioned by the police.”

“…”

“…”

For a long time, she did not hear Mu Sijue’s answer. Xu Youning raised her head in confusion and looked up at his condescending gaze.

She was very stunned in her heart, and she was very upset, but her face was a blank. “Seventh Brother, why are you looking at me?”

“How did you get hurt?” Mu Sijue asked while staring at the blood on her hand.

Xu Youning opened her hand and said, “Oh,” she said easily, “I didn’t pay attention and was scratched by the glass, it’s fine.”

She had no time to take care of it but taking a closer look, although the wound stopped bleeding, a long scratch was left on the palm of her hand. The skin was split and the hand was covered with blood, which was very terrifiying.

Probably Mu Sijue had seen more bloody scenes; he got her a medicine box and threw it to her. “Handle the wound, there are still many things to do, don’t make it a trouble.”

Xu Youning opened the medicine box obediently, took out the disinfecting water, bandages and medicines to handle the wound neatly.

When she was about to wrap it with the bandage, she suddenly heard Mu Sijue’s voice, “Did you often get hurt, why are you so good at this?”

Xu Youning was stunned and pouted, “When I was young, I had wounds on me through out the year. I was afraid that my grandmother would beat me so I secretly dealt with the wounds. So when talking about treating wounds, I have experiences for decades!”

But she could not tie the bandage with one hand. When she was about to use her mouth, a pair of good-looking hands reached out, and she was completely stunned.

It was impossible; Mu Sijue, who had been struggling in the world, and had lived through the desert and the rainforest, had such pretty hands, which should be extremely rough. Why were they so good-looking?

They were long and slim, the joints were distinct, and even the thin calluses on the fingers were very beautiful…

The gauze was quickly tied; Xu Youning also came back to herself and smiled at Mu Sijue. “Thank you Seventh Brother. This is the first time someone helped me with a wound, I’m so touched!”

“How touched?” Mu Sijue suddenly leaned over, “Do you want to marry me?”

His voice was so charming, Xu Youning’s hands were subconsciously guarded on her chest, and she looked at Mu Sijue, not only breathing, but even the heartbeat was completely disturbed…

She looked like a stunned little animal, staring at Mu Sijue with her eyes wide open, and the struggle in the eyes was obvious.

Mu Sijue squinted slightly, as if he were hunting. Xu Youning even felt his warm breathing, and her hands involuntarily grasped the sofa.

She saw his eyes getting deeper and deeper, filled with something she seemed to understand, or not…

She constantly hinted to herself to be calm, and finally her breathing and heartbeat were gradually returning to normal, but her ability to think seemd to have been taken away…

She subconsciously closed her eyes and calmly accepted what would happen next.

However, just before she closed her eyes—

“Ha—” Mu Sijue gave a short and ridiculing laugh.

Xu Youning came to herself quickly, and stared at him with her big eyes filled with discontent. He stood up like nothing happened and put on a smile, “I told you earlier, I am not interested in flat bodies.”

Xu Youning. “…”

A bad feeling of being teased around came from her heart.

That was the biggest shame for Xu Youning in this life.

She gritted her teeth and was going to attack, while Mu Sijue had already put his hands in his pockets and gently walked upstairs. She could only punch and kick against his back.

“Damn, you think you can seduce people just because you’re handsome!”
