Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 870 It Was His Scheme

Mu Sijue said lightly, “I’m not worried that Xu Youning will leave.”

His tone showed that he was indeed not worried about that.

Su Jian’an was even more curious. “Then what are you worried about?”

“…”

Mu Sijue didn’t reply. And for a long time, there was silence at the other end of the line.

Su Jian’an had thought that there was something wrong with the communication network, but she checked her mobile phone and found that the signal was strong and that the call was still connected.

Why didn’t Mu Sijue speak?

Su Jian’an was confused when Mu Sijue’s voice came. “Last night, Xu Youning had a nightmare.”

Su Jian’an still didn’t quite understand Mu Sijue’s intention, so she asked further, “So?”

Mu Sijue continued, “Most people have nightmares because they don’t feel safe. I want to know why Xu Youning doesn’t feel safe even though I am by her side.”

“…” This time, it was Su Jian’an’s turn to be speechless.

Mu Sijue asked, “Jian’an, did you hear me clearly?”

“Yes…” Su Jian’an’s voice was a little low and vague. “I was just a little surprised…”

“Why?” Mu Sijue was confused.

“I’m surprised that you know so much…” Su Jian’an suppressed her curiosity and tried to ask in a normal tone, “You haven’t had nightmares, right? How can you know the reason why most people have nightmares?”

In fact, Su Jian’an vaguely guessed the answer.

Mu Sijue paused and said, “I searched for it on the internet in the morning.”

“Sure enough, that’s the case!”

Su Jian’an found it even more unbelievable, and her voice became lower and vaguer. After a while, she came to her senses and said, “I’ll go to see Youning now.”

Xu Youning got up late in the morning, so she was not sleepy. She and Mumu were piling up the building blocks in the living room, and they had built a small house.

Mumu first saw Su Jian’an and called politely, “Auntie Jian’an”!

Xu Youning was aware that Su Jian’an had something on her mind, so she asked Aunt Zhou to take Mumu to sleep. She put away the blocks on the carpet and motioned for Su Jian’an to sit down. “What’s the matter?”

Su Jian’an held back her laughter and said, “Just now, Sijue called me and said that you had a nightmare last night. He was worried about you and asked me to come and look at you.”

Xu Youning was stunned. She searched through all the vocabulary she knew and didn’t know what to say.

Su Jian’an sat down calmly and continued to throw bombs at Xu Youning. “Sijue also said that he had searched for the reason of nightmares on the Internet and found that it was because of the lack of security.”

Xu Youning squeezed out one word with difficulty. “So?”

“So, your Boss Mu is very depressed.” Su Jian’an stared at Xu Youning and continued, “You are obviously by his side, but why do you still feel insecure?”

Xu Youning quickly understood. “Is that Mu Sijue’s question?”

“Yep.” Su Jian’an finally couldn’t help laughing. “I really didn’t expect that Boss Mu would be anxious about such a thing.”

Xu Youning didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It’s just a nightmare, but Mu Sijue made a big fuss. Besides, after waking up, I… don’t even remember the contents of the nightmare.”

Su Jian’an could tell that Xu Youning didn’t want to continue this topic, so she turned to ask, “Did you tell Mumu about sending him to Yunyun tomorrow?”

Xu Youning nodded. “I told him that we have something to do tomorrow, so I would send him to Yunyun, and that he needs to stay there for a day. He agreed.”

“The little guy easily believed you.” Su Jian’an smiled and said, “Well, tomorrow we will carry out our plan!”

Xu Youning certainly had no objection. “Okay, it’s settled then.”

Su Jian’an stood up and naturally went to the previous topic. “Will you be afraid if you sleep alone? If you are afraid, you can sleep in my house.”

Xu Youning pondered for a moment and said, “Jian’an, after you go back, if Mu Sijue calls you again, you can remind him not to forget who I used to be. I won’t be afraid even if a wolf comes, let alone a nightmare.”

Su Jian’an understood what Xu Youning meant. After thinking for a while, she still said, “Youning, you have to get used to it gradually. When I was pregnant, Boyan also treated me as if I were a fragile object, so that I almost forgot that I was a legal medical expert. Instead, I believed that I was really vulnerable.”

Xu Youning showed a look of understanding. “Do you mean that’s what all men will do?”

Su Jian’an shook her head and corrected her. “I mean—that’s what the man who loves you will do.”

Xu Youning was stunned. Love was really a word that could easily make people happy and satisfied.

She did not let herself laugh, but the happiness on her lips and in her eyes did not escape Su Jian’an’s notice.

Su Jian’an seized this opportunity and added, “Youning, you’re safe here. Sijue will protect you. So, don’t think too much. If you don’t feel safe, the fetus in your belly can’t feel safe either.”

Xu Youning nodded and said, “I see. Go back quickly. Xiyu and Xiangyi are still at home.”

“Good night.”

Su Jian’an returned to the villa next door and sent a text message to Mu Sijue. She simply said that Youning was fine and he didn’t have to worry.

The text message was sent successfully. Before Su Jian’an put down her mobile phone, it had rung.

She thought it was Mu Sijue, but when she answered the phone, she heard Lu Boyan’s voice.

Su Jian’an suddenly relaxed and sat down on the sofa. “Why don’t you and Sijue use your own phones?”

Lu Boyan said, “It’s not convenient to turn on our phones.”

Su Jian’an didn’t know why Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue spent the whole night outside. But since it was not convenient for them to turn on their phones, they should be doing something very important, right?

She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is everything going well?”

“It is for now,” said Lu Boyan. “I’ll be back tomorrow morning. Don’t worry about me.”

Despite Lu Boyan’s words, Su Jian’an still reminded him to be careful.

“I know.” Lu Boyan’s voice became a little gentler. “Jian’an, I love you.”

A smile showed up on Su Jian’an’s lips. “I love you too.”

Lu Boyan chuckled and said, “Sleep early. I’ll be back when you wake up.”

“Okay.”

Su Jian’an compressed her lips, and there was clearly a touch of happiness at the corners of her mouth.

She hung up the phone and went upstairs.

Perhaps because Lu Boyan said that when she woke up, he would be back, Su Jian’an lay down and had a deep and sound sleep.

In contrast, it was much more difficult for Xu Youning to fall asleep.

The last time Mu Sijue left her for more than twelve hours was when he returned to City G a few days ago.

For the whole day, she had been eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing with Su Jian’an and others. She didn’t have any special feelings about Mu Sijue’s departure.

But now, in the darkness, there was mystery and danger everywhere. Only then did Xu Youning realize that she didn’t know where Mu Sijue was or what he was doing.

She only knew that she was worried about Mu Sijue, and that she missed him very much.

Xu Youning unconsciously reached out and stroked the position where Mu Sijue usually lay.

She had been used to the fact that not long after she lay down, Mu Sijue would lie there, breathe with her at the same pace, and fall asleep at the same time.

But tonight, she couldn’t wait for him to be back.

She felt as if her heart were suddenly empty. If Mu Sijue didn’t come back, it could not be filled.

Mu Sijue had become an irreplaceable part of her life.

Xu Youning didn’t know whether it was a good thing or not. She only knew that she couldn’t do anything about it.

When it was one o’clock in the morning, Xu Youning still couldn’t fall asleep. She went downstairs and unexpectedly found Aunt Zhou downstairs.

“Aunt Zhou.” Xu Youning walked over and asked, “Why didn’t you sleep?”

“I don’t know if I’m too old to stay calm. If Little Seven doesn’t come back, I can’t fall asleep.” Aunt Zhou shook her head with a wry smile. “What about you? Why did you come downstairs?”

“I…” Xu Youning stuttered and finally found an excuse. “I came downstairs to drink some water.”

“You are also worried about Little Seven and cannot fall asleep, right?” Aunt Zhou saw through Xu Youning and poured her a cup of warm water. “I was young once. You can camouflage your expression, but you cannot camouflage your tone.”

Rarely, Xu Youning was shy. She took the water and took a sip, saying, “Aunt Zhou, you don’t wait. Go to bed early. Mu Sijue won’t come back tonight.”

“It doesn’t matter to me. But you have to have a good rest.” Aunt Zhou patted Xu Youning’s hand and said, “Go to sleep. Staying up late is bad for the fetus. I’ll go upstairs when I’m sleepy.”

Xu Youning nodded and turned to go upstairs.

She tossed and turned until three o’clock in the morning, and finally fell asleep.

Not long after, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue arrived at the top of the mountain in the gray morning light.

After getting off the helicopter, both of them didn’t speak and were anxious to return to their respective houses.

Lu Boyan’s villa was closer to the helistop, so Lu Boyan arrived home first.

He went straight upstairs and pushed the door open, and saw Su Jian’an sleeping soundly on the big soft bed.

There was still the smell of gunpowder on his body, so he didn’t get close to Su Jian’an. Instead, he took his leisurewear and went into the bathroom.

Su Jian’an was worried about Lu Boyan, so she opened her eyes as soon as dawn broke. She subconsciously looked at the position beside her. Lu Boyan had not returned yet.

Before she became disappointed, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.

She was too familiar with it, which was the sound of Lu Boyan taking a shower!

The surprise came so fast, and Su Jian’an almost jumped off the bed. She ran over and knocked on the bathroom door. “Boyan, is it you?”

The sound of running water became lower, and then Lu Boyan’s voice came out. “Yeah, I just came back.”

Su Jian’an smiled, and her hanging heart slowly became calm. Immediately, she felt relieved and relaxed.

“Jian’an.” Lu Boyan’s voice came out again.

Su Jian’an answered subconsciously, “Yep!”

“I didn’t bring any clothes in,” said Lu Boyan. “Fetch me a set of leisurewear.”

“Okay!” Su Jian’an opened the wardrobe, picked a suit of clothes, pushed open the bathroom door off guard, and then handed him the leisurewear. “Here you are.”

At this time, Su Jian’an did not realize that it was his scheme!
