While Shen Yuechuan was thinking, Mu Sijue came down from upstairs.
Mu Sijue had regained his usual calm and dignified look, and the joy and anger he had experienced yesterday couldn’t be seen at all.
Seeing Shen Yuechuan, Mu Sijue was not surprised. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and asked, “Have you had breakfast?”
“Not yet,” Shen Yuechuan said, “I came here as soon as I received Ah Guang’s call.”
Mu Sijue acted as if he didn’t know what Shen Yuechuan was talking about. He asked lightly, “Together?”
Shen Yuechuan didn’t have much appetite, but driven by curiosity, he still followed Mu Sijue to the restaurant and sat opposite him.
Mu Sijue picked up the knife and fork and said, “If you want to ask, go ahead.”
What he hated most was that other people swept over him with a curious sight.
Shen Yuechuan sat up straight, looked at Mu Sijue seriously, and asked, “Xu Youning ran away. What are you going to do?”
He thought that Mu Sijue would say, “I don’t have to do anything. It’s just Xu Youning. I don’t care if she runs away or not.”
However, Mu Sijue’s answer was far beyond his expectation.
“I’ll find her back in the way how she ran away.”
Mu Sijue’s voice was calm, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
However, if one listened carefully, it wouldn’t be difficult to hear his determination.
Shen Yuechuan suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Mu Sijue had returned to his usual appearance. It turned out that he had had a plan for a long time.
After recovering from his surprise, Shen Yuechuan asked in a teasing tone, “You admit your feelings for Xu Youning?”
“There are a few things that I have to know.” Mu Sijue evaded the crucial point and said, “The answer is on Xu Youning.”
“That’s the only reason?” Shen Yuechuan didn’t believe it. “Do you have anything else to say?”
Mu Sijue unhurriedly cut the sun egg on the plate and said, “I admit that she is very important to me.”
Shen Yuechuan looked at Mu Sijue. His right hand clenched into a fist, and he put it on his lips, but he still couldn’t help laughing.
No matter what, it was a good thing that Mu Sijue was willing to face his feelings.
He patted Mu Sijue’s shoulder and said, “I understand your current mood.”
He stood up and was about to leave.
Mu Sijue looked at Shen Yuechuan’s untouched breakfast and asked, “Aren’t you hungry?”
Shen Yuechuan checked the time. “Yunyun is about to wake up. I have to go back.”
When he went out, Xiao Yunyun was still asleep and didn’t know that he had left. “If the little girl can’t see me when she wakes up, although she won’t be angry, she will definitely be unhappy.”
“… Let’s go.” Mu Sijue slightly glanced at Shen Yuechuan and said, “But how are you going to deal with the things I told you?”
“My weakness is in Kang Ruicheng’s hands. Of course, the best solution is to kill Kang Ruicheng, but it can’t be done for the time being.” Shen Yuechuan was relaxed and seemed to be free of any pressure. “In that case, let’s just let nature take its course. We can do anything we want according to the situation.”
Mu Sijue never thought that Shen Yuechuan would have such an attitude. He looked at him and asked, “Are you affected by Yunyun?”
Shen Yuechuan raised the corner of his mouth, and there was sweetness in his smile. “I guess so.”
Mu Sijue really couldn’t bear to see Shen Yuechuan like this. He waved his hand and said, “Piss off.”
“I have to admit that I envy Shen Yuechuan.
“However, the reason why Shen Yuechuan can be with Xiao Yunyun is that he has the courage to break through all obstacles.
“Next time I see Xu Youning, perhaps I should also take out this kind of courage…”
On the other side, Shen Yuechuan soon returned to the apartment.
As he expected, Xiao Yunyun woke up.
It was unknown if the traditional Chinese medicine made by Song Jiqing had side effects, but Xiao Yunyun preferred to sleep even more often than before. If she hadn’t felt that Shen Yuechuan didn’t seem to be by her side in a daze, she might have slept until the sky was dark.
When she reluctantly opened her eyes, sure enough, Shen Yuechuan left.
“It’s so early. Where did he go?”
Xiao Yunyun lifted the quilt and sat up. Her head was like a machine that had just been started. “I wonder where I’m going to find Shen Yuechuan.”
Before she could come up with an answer, the door was pushed open, and then Shen Yuechuan came in.
Xiao Yunyun rubbed her sleepy eyes lazily and asked in a hoarse voice, “Where have you been?”
“Mu Qi’s place.”
The weather had gradually turned cold. Xiao Yunyun was only wearing a long-sleeved nightdress. Shen Yuechuan was worried that she would catch a cold, so he took a cardigan from the coat rack next to her and put it on her. He didn’t forget to help her put it on.
Xiao Yunyun had been used to Shen Yuechuan’s care and consideration. She looked at him in a daze and asked, “Why did you go to Boss Mu’s place so early?”
“…” Shen Yuechuan paused for a moment and then said, “Xu Youning left.”
Xiao Yunyun shivered and woke up in an instant. She widened her eyes and asked, “What happened?”
Shen Yuechuan told Xiao Yunyun the whole story of Xu Youning’s escape. After that, he found that Xiao Yunyun’s expression became very complicated.
He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Yunyun looked as if she was trying to figure out who she should really care about. She bit her lips and said, “Youning still could escape under such circumstance. I think she is very cool! But, Boss Mu must be very sad… Shouldn’t I have such a reaction?”
“You think too much,” Shen Yuechuan said lightly, “Mu Qi is not sad at all.”
“How is that possible?” Xiao Yunyun’s small face was full of disbelief. “Boss Mu clearly cares about Youning very much! Am I wrong?”
“You’re right,” Shen Yuechuan continued, “although Xu Youning ran away, Mu Qi said that he would get her back.”
Xiao Yunyun was surprised and then said with a smile, “This is in line with Boss Mu’s style!”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s Boss Mu!”
“I bought breakfast. I have your favorite steamed buns.” Shen Yuechuan asked, “Are you hungry?”
Xiao Yunyun swallowed and said, “Yeah.”
Shen Yuechuan knew that as long as there were small steamed buns, Xiao Yunyun would feel hungry even if she was not.
He picked her up and went into the bathroom. He looked down at her and said, “Call me when you’re done.”
He was about to put Xiao Yunyun down, but Xiao Yunyun’s hands around his neck showed no sign of letting go.
He raised his eyebrows in confusion. Suddenly, he saw Xiao Yunyun raise her head. Then, his lips felt the familiar softness and warmth.
“All right.” Only then did Xiao Yunyun let Shen Yuechuan go with satisfaction. “Put me down.”
The injury on Xiao Yunyun’s leg was healing. It was not a problem for her to stand with one leg and wash up, but Shen Yuechuan was still worried. He reminded her a few times before leaving.
After breakfast, Xiao Yunyun found that it was already past Shen Yuechuan’s working time.
She looked at Shen Yuechuan gloatingly. “You’re late. Will my cousin-in-law deduct your salary?”
“No.” Shen Yuechuan kissed Xiao Yunyun’s lips. “Your cousin-in-law said that my most important task recently was to take good care of you.”
“Well!” Xiao Yunyun smiled. “If that’s the case—Special Assistant Shen, your task is done very well. I can ask my cousin-in-law to give you a bonus!”
Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun with affection. “What should I do? I don’t want to work.”
“No way.” Xiao Yunyun resolutely pushed Shen Yuechuan. “You are the right-hand man of my cousin-in-law. How can company work without you? Go to work right now! When you come back from work, we still have an entire night!”
The words “the right-hand man” made Shen Yuechuan ignore the ambiguous feeling of “an entire night”, reminding him of Kang Ruicheng.
“According to Kang Ruicheng’s usual style, it’s very likely that Kang Ruicheng will put the blame on me for taking Xu Youning away from Mu Sijue. It’s unknown when Kang Ruicheng will announce my relationship with Xiao Yunyun.”
Shen Yuechuan’s face became serious. “You should be mentally prepared. We—”
“I know.” Xiao Yunyun interrupted Shen Yuechuan with a bright smile. “It’s my choice to be with you. I don’t care if it’s right or wrong, but I’m willing to bear the consequences of my choice. You don’t have to worry about me. Just work hard. Maybe there will be a turning point!”
Shen Yuechuan couldn’t be as optimistic as Xiao Yunyun.
It was a fact that he and Xiao Yunyun were together, and it was also a fact that they were brother and sister. In this way, it was also a fact that they had violated the ethics.
They were destined to be criticized. How could there be a turning point?
However, Shen Yuechuan was glad to see Xiao Yunyun so optimistic. He kissed her and went to the company.
In the Lu Enterprises.
Lu Boyan had also heard about Xu Youning’s escape. As soon as Shen Yuechuan arrived, he went to Shen Yuechuan and asked him about the details.
After listening, Lu Boyan couldn’t believe it and asked, “Is Mu Qi just going to let her go?”
“Of course not. Mu Qi won’t let go of Xu Youning so easily,” Shen Yuechuan said, “Don’t worry. Mu Qi told me he’ll find her back in the way how she ran away.”
In that case, Lu Boyan was not surprised. He opened the document and said, “I know. You’re two hours late. It’s time to work.”
Shen Yuechuan thought for a moment and said slowly, “I have something to tell you.”
Shen Yuechuan’s tone and expression were unprecedentedly serious and solemn.
Lu Boyan had known Shen Yuechuan for so many years, so he was too clear about Shen Yuechuan’s character and style. Even if it was a big event like “the end of the world”, Shen Yuechuan would say it out with a completely unconcerned attitude.
“It’s rare for him to show such an expression. It can only mean that what he’s going to say is more important than anything else.”
Sure enough, Shen Yuechuan solemnly announced, “I’m with Yunyun.”
“…”
Some time ago, Su Jian’an occasionally said that Xiao Yunyun was in a good state. Even if she knew that her right hand could not recover, she was very optimistic.
Lu Boyan felt that it was a coincidence. He told Su Jian’an that Shen Yuechuan had been in a good state recently as well, and it seemed that he was in a good mood.
At that time, Su Jian’an had guessed something, but since Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun did not say anything, it was not convenient for them to ask.
“After hiding it from us for so long, Shen Yuechuan finally said it.”
Lu Boyan looked at Shen Yuechuan. “I thought you were going to keep it a secret.”
Shen Yuechuan was stunned.
“I thought that I and Xiao Yunyun had covered it up very well, but… Lu Boyan had already seen through it?
“It doesn’t make sense. Except for Su Jian’an, Lu Boyan does not have such delicate thoughts about others.
“That is to say, it was very likely that Su Jian’an had discovered it, and then she told Lu Boyan.”
Shen Yuechuan did not forget Su Jian’an’s profession. He was not surprised to be discovered by her.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuechuan smiled helplessly. “I want to keep it a secret, but… I can’t hide it anymore.”
Lu Boyan heard something unusual and asked in a serious voice, “What’s going on?”
