Chapter 429 - Returning Home and Forgetting Everything

The landing gear flew off the ground and the luxurious private jet flew up to 10,000 meters high.

Xu Youning was sitting by a window. Although Mu Sijue and she were seated in the same row, there was an aisle between them. Their seats were close to but alienated from each other, just like their current relationship.

No matter what happened between them, and no matter how intimate they seemed to outsiders, the gap between them was doomed to be insurmountable.

Xu Youning pressed her face against the porthole and looked down. She looked through the thin clouds at the high-rise buildings on the ground, which usually looked like giants but were as small as an ant at this time.

Did it mean that people could see through their own affections and let go of their attachments to others only when they climbed up to a certain height?

If it was true, when she became as strong as Mu Sijue, could she ignore him and stop taking a fancy to him like now?

Thinking it over, Xu Youning suddenly felt that she was too naive.

Mu Sijue could give her to others indifferently and return home with leaving her alone in Mexico… If these things had been done by others, she would have killed them.

But Mu Sijue did those things to her, she still hurried to run after him to the airport.

The method of being strong and showing your beautiful life to him was not practical for her. She could not give up Mu Sijue at all.

Therefore, she could only forget everything that had happened in Mexico as soon as possible, and cherish every day she would spend with Mu Sijue later.

After her identity was revealed, she would never have any chance.

Thinking about this, Xu Youning adjusted her mood and asked the stewardess for a simple meal and a drink. After eating, she unfastened the seat belt and quietly moved to the seat beside Mu Sijue.

She really suspected that Mu Sijue’s body structure was different from that of ordinary people. Otherwise, how could he still have the energy to deal with business after such a serious injury?

Mu Sijue waited for a long time and did not hear Xu Youning speak. He stopped typing on the keyboard and looked at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Would you like to use the room?” Xu Youning added, “I’m a little tired and I want to sleep. I’ll go in if you don’t need it.”

She had been staring at Mu Sijue with a crooked neck, so that he thought that she was worried that he was overworked, but it turned out that she was tired.

He suddenly typed harder on the keyboard, and said coldly, “I don’t need it.”

“Oh,” Xu Youning said, “Then I’m going in.”

When she entered the room, she simply washed herself and threw herself onto the soft small bed.

This room was usually used by Mu Sijue, and it was arranged in exactly the same way as his bedroom. Everything was in cool tone, and even the bedding was dull black, which made the small room more depressing.

Xu Youning was not in the mood to care about that, wrapped herself in the quilt, closed her eyes and hypnotized herself.

In order to have a good time in the following limited time, before the plane landed, she had to let go of what had happened in Mexico, including the sentence “Since you like Xu Youning only who is the most unimpressive one of my women, she is for you now.”

It was said that sleep was the most primitive cure for injury of human beings, and now she needed a lot of sleep.

Falling asleep was not difficult for Xu Youning, especially when she failed to rest well last night and greatly exerted her energy today. It did not take long for her to happily fall asleep.

In the passenger compartment outside the room.

Jason finally could not help reminding Mu Sijue. “Seventh Brother, the doctor said that you hadn’t fully recovered from your wound and you couldn’t work for long, and that you needed a proper rest.”

Mu Sijue replied simply, “I know.”

“But, the room was…” Jason was about to speak but finally stopped talking. The room was occupied by Xu Youning!

“Don’t wake up her.” Mu Sijue then looked up at Jason with a cold look. “She will wake up by herself.”

“…” Jason wanted to ask, “Will she?”

The answer was no.

On the way from Mexico to City G, Xu Youning had been sleeping.

When the plane landed, it was exactly 10 o’clock in the morning local time. It was a sunny day in the early summer of City G.

Jason first led Mu Sijue’s men to get off the plane, and Mu Sijue went to the small room to wake up Xu Youning.

At this time, Xu Youning was sleeping soundly with a blindfold.

Mu Sijue took away the quilt held in her arms. “Xu Youning, wake up.”

Xu Youning was very vigilant. As soon as she heard the noise, she immediately took off her blindfold and sat up. Seeing Mu Sijue, she subconsciously looked out of the porthole. It turned out that the plane had already landed. She could see many huge planes outside, as well as some familiar Asia people.

“Here we are.” Mu Sijue reminded her coldly. “Get off the plane.”

“You haven’t even got off the plane yet. Why do you first come to wake me up?” Xu Youning pursed her lips, got out of the bed, slipped out of the room, and quickly got off the plane as if to escape from a cell.

Since she was back, let everything go back to the beginning of the story.

As for her time in Mexico… Hey, what happened to her in Mexico?

…

Airport exit.

Ah Guang was leaning against the door and waiting. On seeing Mu Sijue and Xu Youning, he waved at them and opened the door for them.

Xu Youning did not get in the car.

Ah Guang called her wonderingly. “Sister Youning, get in the car.”

“You first drive Seventh Brother home.” Xu Youning waved her hand. “I’m not going in the same direction. I’ll just take a taxi by myself.”

Ah Guang seemed to be in a dilemma.

Jason had told him that Xu Youning had been abducted in Mexico by Kang Ruicheng. He was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks and pinned all his hope on Mu Sijue.

Later, Jason had also said that Mu Sijue did not intend to save Xu Youning, and it was true.

He had already decided that, if Mu Sijue did not return with Xu Youning, he would go to Mexico to rescue Xu Youning. But when the plane was about to take off, Jason called him again and said that Xu Youning was back.

Ah Guang had thought that everything had been over, but the fact… was obviously not as simple as he imagined.

He said, “No, I can drive you home first, and Seventh Brother…”

“Ah Guang!” Mu Sijue interrupted Ah Guang, and commanded without showing his feelings. “Get in the car.”

Ah Guang looked at Mu Sijue, and then Xu Youning. Finally, he closed the door and got into the driver’s seat.

At this time, the window beside the backseat was put down slowly, and Mu Sijue said to Xu Youning without emotions, “Let Jason send you home.”

“Okay.” Xu Youning made a perfunctory reply and watched Mu Sijue’s car drive away. She was about to stop a taxi, when Jason drove the car and stopped before her. “Miss Xu, get in the car.”

On the way back, Xu Youning said nothing.

She was not unwilling to ride in the same car with Mu Sijue, but she had to go back to visit her grandmother. Mu Sijue would affect her mood to some extent. Grandmother knew her too well, and she did not want Grandma to realize her real feelings.

Seeing Xu Youning be silent, Jason asked carefully, “Miss Xu, are you angry with Seventh Brother?”

Xu Youning laughed. “Have you ever seen that a person who runs errands dares to be angry with its boss?”

“… Actually, the truth is not what you think.” Jason was not very good with words, and after a long time he could just say, “I want to tell you, Jie was immediately sent by Seventh Brother to a place in the middle of nowhere to perform tasks after he came back. He will stay there for at least half a year!”

Xu Youning was confused. “… Jason, what do you want to say?”

Jason said, “I want to say that Seventh Brother was very angry with Jie at his failure to protect you!”

Xu Youning said with a smile, “Of course he was angry.”

But Mu Sijue was angry not because she was hurt. He was just mad at Jie’s incompetence in watching a person. Jie must be punished, otherwise how could he be qualified to work for Mu Sijue later?

The threat from Kang Ruicheng also made Mu Sijue angry. But similarly, it was not because she would be hurt, but because Kang Ruicheng offended his authority.

Jason always felt that Xu Youning’s words sounded a little weird, but he could not explain the weirdness, so he nodded. “Well, you just need to know that Seventh Brother was angry.”

After arriving at home, Xu Youning adjusted her mood and rushed into the house. “Grandma!”

Granny Xu was sitting on the sofa and happily watching a reality show. She was more delighted when she saw Xu Youning come back. “Wicked girl, disappearing for so many days, you just made a phone call and said that you would go abroad. If Ah Guang hadn’t told me that you went to work abroad and couldn’t call me because of time difference, I would have been so worried about you!”

“Grandma, you don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine.” Xu Youning smiled. “Look, I look good and well! Also, I won’t leave you in the future. Or I will take you with me when I leave!”

“Grandma was too old to go any further.” Granny Xu smiled helplessly and patted Xu Youning on her hand. “In the future, A Ning, you’ll go further alone.”

Xu Youning did not know why Grandma always mentioned such things again and again. Xu Youning always pouted on hearing that. “Even if you can’t move, I can carry you on my back. I don’t want to go alone. I’ll follow you wherever you go!”

“Silly girl.” Granny Xu smiled and asked Auntie Sun to cook something for Xu Youning.

Xu Youning liked to eat noodles, so Auntie Sun simply made her a bowl of noodles. After eating, Ah Guang came to her.

Xu Youning probably guessed what Ah Guang wanted to say, and took him to a small park nearby.

“Sister Youning, are you okay?” After a long while, Ah Guang finally asked, “Did Kang Ruicheng do any harm to you?”

“I’m okay.” Xu Youning smiled. “Kang Ruicheng lost interest in me after knowing that he could not threaten Mu Sijue with my death, so he only locked me up for a few days.”

“I will capture Kang Ruicheng in person and take revenge on you!” Ah Guang swore.

Xu Youning could not help but laugh out loud. “Okay.” She paused and asked, “Are you here today just to tell me this?”

“No, Seventh Brother asked me to tell you some words.” Ah Guang said helplessly, “Seventh Brother said, you could take a few days off and just go back whenever you want.”

Xu Youning lightly closed her lips. “I see.”

Ah Guang then noticed that Xu Youning’s hand was still wrapped with gauze, and asked in wonder, “Is the wound still okay?”

“I had some water on the wound a few days ago and it was slightly inflamed. I was worried that something would run into it on the plane, so I wrapped it with gauze.” Xu Youning removed the gauze and saw that the wound was scarred.

The wound would be scarred, and then the scar would fade away… It would be a long process.

However, everything would always be okay. One day, no one could see that her hand was once injured.

“With some medicine for scar removal, it will fade away a little bit faster.” Ah Guang looked at the time. “I have to go back.”

“OK.” said Xu Youning. She watched Ah Guang’s car drive away, and slowly walked home.

With some medicine, the scar will fade away a little bit faster.

But who could tell her what medicine a heartbroken people could use?
