Chapter 778 - Youning, What Are You Hiding From Us?

From then on, Shen Yuechuan went to Song Jiqing’s house every day and drank a bowl of black bitter medicine before going upstairs.

After drinking for a few days, he felt much better. Later, when he went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor also said that he looked much better than before. Song Jiqing’s bitter medicine might really be helpful to him.

When Shen Yuechuan was not at home, Xiao Yunyun also tried her best to recover. At first, she could only walk for five minutes. Now she could have a thirty-minute walk, which relied on her painful insistence.

However, she could not let Shen Yuechuan know the good news for the time being.

It was not only Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan, but also Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi had a secret.

Due to Xiao Yunyun’s request, Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi had to prepare some things for her. The most important thing was the dress.

Su Jian’an considered that the dress must be splendid.

Luo Xiaoxi felt that it must amaze the whole audience and make Xiao Yunyun attract all the eyes on her.

The only pity was that Xiao Yunyun was in such a hurry that it was too late to make a custom-made dress for her. Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi could only pick one from major luxury shops.

One afternoon, Su Jian’an finally had time to ask Luo Xiaoxi out. The driver took them to the largest shopping mall in the city center, followed and protected by six or seven bodyguards in casual clothes.

After shopping for an entire afternoon, Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi finally picked one that they both liked, and its size was exactly suitable to Xiao Yunyun.

Luo Xiaoxi happily clapped her hands with Su Jian’an. When she saw a store of branded children’s clothing, she took Su Jian’an’s hand and rushed over. “Let’s see if there are any clothes suitable for Xiangyi and Xiyu!”

“They already have a lot of clothes.” Su Jian’an kept up with Luo Xiaoxi and said, “Slow down. Don’t forget that you are pregnant now.”

“I’m glad! I…”

After entering the store of children’s clothing, Luo Xiaoxi’s voice stopped abruptly. She was stunned and looked straight ahead.

“What happened?”

Su Jian’an looked in the direction of Luo Xiaoxi’s sight and was also stunned.

Xu Youning was also in this store, holding a child’s hand. It seemed that she was picking clothes for the child.

Xu Youning didn’t expect to meet Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi here either.

However, since they had met, it must be fate.

Xu Youning smiled. “Jian’an, Xiaoxi, long time no see.”

Su Jian’an was still a little stunned, and her voice was full of uncertainty. “It’s been a long time. Youning, what’s going on?”

Xu Youning smiled openly and said, “I’m doing great.”

“Thank you for reminding us about Yuechuan and Yunyun some time ago,” said Su Jian’an.

“I didn’t help much, actually.” Xu Youning said, “Fortunately, the problem has been solved.”

“Youning…”

Su Jian’an was about to say further when the child holding Xu Youning’s hand suddenly pulled the corner of Xu Youning’s clothes. He swallowed and said, “Aunt Youning, do you know these two beautiful aunties?”

“Yes, I do.” Xu Youning said with a smile, “Do you also want to know them?”

He kept staring at Su Jian’an and then pulled the corner of Xu Youning’s clothes. “Aunt Youning, I used to think that you were the most beautiful person in the world. But now, I think someone else is as beautiful as you! Will you be jealous?”

Su Jian’an couldn’t help laughing and asked Xu Youning, “Is it your friend’s child?” “He is so cute!”

Xu Youning looked a little bleak, and she said, “His father… is Kang Ruicheng.”

Luo Xiaoxi did not know Kang Ruicheng, but after the incident of Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun, Su Yicheng told her about this person, as well as the grievances between Kang Ruicheng and Lu Boyan.

She concluded that Kang Ruicheng was a devil!

However, this little angel was actually the child of that devil?

“It doesn’t make sense. It must be because of gene mutation!”

Su Jian’an was also very surprised. When she was thinking about what to say, the little boy nodded cutely. “Yes, yes, my daddy’s Chinese name is Kang Ruicheng. Auntie, do you know my daddy?”

Su Jian’an came to her senses and looked at Mumu gently.

No matter what kind of person Kang Ruicheng was, this little boy was only a child who was less than five years old, and he knew nothing.

Su Jian’an smiled and nodded. “I know your daddy.”

The little boy stared blankly at Su Jian’an. He ran over and threw himself into Su Jian’an’s arms. “Auntie, you look more beautiful when you smile. I like you more and more. When I grow up, I want to marry you. Will you marry me?”

Xu Youning came over and patted Mumu. “You have good taste, but she is married. Also, she is a mother.”

He pursed his lips as if he was about to cry. He clung to Su Jian’an’s leg and refused to let go at all.

Maybe it was because she had become a mother, even if the child’s father was Kang Ruicheng, Su Jian’an still couldn’t help feeling softhearted.

Su Jian’an touched the little boy’s head. He raised his head and blinked his big eyes, which lay under his long eyelashes. “Auntie, how old is your baby? Is it a little boy or a little girl?”

“My babies are still less than half a year old,” said Su Jian’an with a smile. “A boy and a girl. What’s wrong?”

“Are they twins?” The little boy suddenly spoke perfect American English, and then he spoke Mandarin. “Auntie, your baby will become as beautiful as you when she grows up. Can I play with her? I can protect her!”

It would never happen, would it?

Eventually, Su Jian’an couldn’t bear to let the child down, so she said kindly, “Yes, of course.”

The boy’s eyes lit up, and he kissed Su Jian’an’s face very gently. “Thank you, Auntie!”

Su Jian’an touched the little boy’s tender face and felt that if she continued to talk to him, she would probably want to take him home.

In order to restrain her impulse, Su Jian’an looked at Xu Youning. “Can we have a private chat?”

Su Jian’an and Xu Youning went to a nearby cafe. Only Luo Xiaoxi and Mumu were left in the children’s clothing store, staring at each other.

“Little guy,” Luo Xiaoxi teased the boy and said with a serious look, “Am I not beautiful? Why do you only praise her?”

Mumu tilted his head and said, “She reminded me of Mommy.”

“Uh-huh.” Luo Xiaoxi continued to ask, “So what about me?”

“A big star!” Mumu tried his best to stretch out his short hands, drew a big circle in the air, and seriously emphasized, “A very, very big star!”

Luo Xiaoxi couldn’t help laughing out loud, and at the same time, she sighed silently.

What a lovely child! If it weren’t Kang Ruicheng’s kid, she really wanted to take him home and take care of him for a day and give him the best of everything.

In the meantime, Su Jian’an and Xu Youning were chatting in the coffee shop.

“Youning, Sijue wants you back.” Su Jian’an asked, “Why won’t you go back?”

Xu Youning shook her head. “I cannot go back. I… I won’t leave Kang Ruicheng.”

“I thought the person you like is Sijue,” Su Jian’an said.

Xu Youning just smiled and said weakly, “Jian’an, you misunderstood.”

Even if Su Jian’an guessed correctly, she had to insist on saying that Su Jian’an had misunderstood.

For a moment, Su Jian’an did not know what to say.

If Mu Sijue heard her words, he would be very sad, wouldn’t he?

Xu Youning took a deep breath and said, “And, Jian’an, help me tell Mu Sijue not to waste his efforts anymore.”

For a moment, Su Jian’an did not understand. She asked in confusion, “What?”

“He can’t find a chance to kidnap me again.” Xu Youning said, “When I go out, I will take Mumu with me. He can’t kidnap me in front of a child, can he?”

Only then did Su Jian’an realize that Mu Sijue had been waiting for an opportunity to take Xu Youning away again.

However, even so, Xu Youning was still unwilling to go back to him.

“What on earth is the reason?”

Su Jian’an shook her head. “Youning, I know what a woman looks like when she really likes someone. Don’t lie to me. You don’t like Kang Ruicheng at all.”

Just now, when Xu Youning said that she would not leave Kang Ruicheng, she paused.

Also, Youning said that she had misunderstood in an uncertain tone.

Xu Youning was not telling the truth. She just wanted to achieve some purposes by saying those words.

When a woman really liked someone, she would feel sweet even when she pronounces his name, but Xu Youning mentioned Kang Ruicheng in such a calm tone, which was not normal at all.

Something came to Su Jian’an’s mind all of a sudden. She looked at Xu Youning and asked, “Youning, are you hiding something from us?”

Xu Youning quickly avoided Su Jian’an’s eyes and stood up. “It’s getting late. I’m going back with Mumu.”

She rushed out of the coffee shop and went back to the children’s clothing store to find Mumu, who was chatting happily with Luo Xiaoxi in Mandarin or in English.

Mumu soon noticed that Xu Youning was back. “Huh?” He asked, “Auntie Youning, have you finished talking with that auntie?”

“Yeah.” Xu Youning walked over and held his hand. “We have to go back now.”

“Oh.” Mumu waved at Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoyi. “Goodbye, aunties.”

Before Su Jian’an could say anything, Xu Youning had already carried Mumu into the elevator.

Seeing something wrong with Su Jian’an’s expression, Luo Xiaoxi asked, “What’s wrong? What did Youning say to you?”

“She didn’t say anything, but that’s what makes her more suspicious. Youning must be hiding something from us. Maybe…” Thinking of a possible cause, Su Jian’an broke out in a cold sweat. She didn’t have time to go shopping. She picked up Xiao Yunyun’s dress and said, “Xiaoxi, let’s go back.”

After getting in the car, Su Jian’an called Lu Boyan. “Honey, are you home?”

“I still have something to do, and I’m going home after dealing with it.” Lu Boyan noticed the anxiety in Su Jian’an’s tone and asked, “What’s the trouble?”

“If your business is not urgent, you go home first.” Su Jian’an said, “I just met Youning, and she didn’t quite seem herself.”

Mu Sijue also said so, so he had to find a chance to take Xu Youning back.

Lu Boyan closed the folder and said, “I’ll be right back.”

Su Jian’an knew Xu Youning. In front of her, Xu Youning would be more relaxed.

Mu Sijue had always suspected that Xu Youning was hiding something from him. Maybe… Su Jian’an had seen it.

Lu Boyan looked at the time, asked the driver to speed up the car, and rushed home as fast as he could.
