Chapter 1098 - Has Tricked Herself and Can Only Stick It to the End

Su Jian’an didn’t say anything.

After listening to Lu Boyan’s words, Su Jian’an was speechless for a long time.

In the end, she could only comfort herself.

“Although he strongly praised himself by saying that, he also praised me at the same time!

“He is much nicer to me than before, isn’t he?

“Since he would do this, I should be satisfied, right?

“I can’t have higher expectations for him!”

Thinking of this, Su Jian’an forced herself to show an expression of approval and nodded. “Your analysis is very reasonable. I can’t refute it and can only agree with you.”

Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an had been married for so long, and he knew her well that she compromised so easily not because she really agreed with him.

His petite wife was at her wit’s end.

Lu Boyan did not know if he had bad taste. He was still the same as he was when he first got married and enjoyed the feeling of making things difficult for Su Jian’an.

Su Jian’an looked at Lu Boyan, and her sharp eyes found that he was smiling.

“Humph, he must be enjoying it, isn’t he?”

The more Su Jian’an thought about it, the more upset she became. She looked at Lu Boyan unhappily. “Boss, if you’re satisfied, put Xiangyi down. It’s time for her to sleep.”

Lu Boyan looked at his daughter in his arms with gentle eyes.

He asked the little girl, “Do you want to sleep? Huh?”

It was unknown whether Xiangyi understood her father’s words or not. She let out a cry of protest in a loud voice, and her lovely little mouth pouted slightly as if she was unhappy.

Lu Boyan smiled. After a while, he looked at Su Jian’an with a helpless expression and said, “Our daughter doesn’t want to sleep.”

Xiangyi had always been relatively dependent on Lu Boyan. At this moment, being held in his arms, of course, she was not willing to leave him.

However, Su Jian’an insisted on going against Lu Boyan.

She looked at Xiangyi carefully and said, “Why didn’t I hear Xiangyi saying that she doesn’t want to sleep?”

Lu Boyan knew that Su Jian’an was playing dumb.

He had never told Su Jian’an that he had gone through ups and downs in the business world for so many years. In addition to negotiation, he was best at beating his opponents at their own game.

Since Su Jian’an wanted to play dumb, he didn’t mind playing along with her once.

Lu Boyan pretended to hand Xiangyi over to Su Jian’an and asked, “Would you listen to her more carefully again?”

Su Jian’an grew silent.

She did not expect Lu Boyan to do such a thing. She silently thought that she had tricked herself, and she had to stick it to the end even if she didn’t want to.

She held Xiangyi in her arms, and the little girl looked at her in surprise. It seemed that she realized that the person holding her was not her father. Her tender face wrinkled as she burst into tears.

Su Jian’an was stunned and felt that she was at a loss in how to respond, which she hadn’t felt for quite a while.

“I’ve always known that Xiangyi likes her father more. As long as Lu Boyan comes back, she would be very willing to stay with him.

“But have things already come to this point?

“Am I not a good mother?”

When Lu Boyan heard his daughter’s cry, he naturally felt distressed. He directly held Xiangyi back and pampered her in his arms for a while. Finally, the little girl stopped crying and buried her head in his arms. She was like a small animal that had lost its direction.

Not long after, Xiangyi fell asleep quietly.

Lu Boyan put Xiangyi on the baby bed and tucked her in. When he turned around, he found that Su Jian’an’s beautiful face was full of sadness.

He could roughly guess the reason why Su Jian’an was sad, but he still asked, “Jian’an, what’s going on with you?”

“It’s unfair!” Su Jian’an looked indignant. “You go to work every day. It’s obvious that Xiangyi spends more time with me. Why does she like you more?”

“Don’t forget that Xiyu likes to stick to you more.” Lu Boyan actually sounded a little helpless. “Jian’an, I’m their father. You can’t ask both of them to rely on you. It will be unfair to me.”

Su Jian’an did not speak, nor did she want to.

Of course, it was not that she had nothing to say.

She just knew very well that she could not refute Lu Boyan.

Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an and continued, “Jian’an, the most important thing is that if both of them rely on you, you will be exhausted.”

This time, Su Jian’an was completely speechless.

“He could actually beat around the bush and say that he’s doing this for me… Lu Boyan is definitely a rare talent!”

After a long while, Su Jian’an talked and compromised with Lu Boyan. “Well, you won.”

Lu Boyan smiled and stroked Su Jianan’s hair. He took her hand and said, “Go to the study with me to deal with something.”

For a moment, Su Jian’an forgot to object. She obediently followed Lu Boyan into the study and became his temporary secretary.

Looking at Lu Boyan calmly and quickly handling the company’s affairs, Su Jian’an quickly forgot that she had just been tricked by him as she obediently learned the basics of business from him.

What Su Jian’an didn’t know was that far away in the old house of the Kang family, someone was worrying about them.

And that person was naturally Xu Youning.

Xu Youning was worried because when she was having lunch today, she had heard Dongzi reporting to Kang Ruicheng that Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun had already returned to the hospital.

If she remembered correctly, Shen Yuechuan and Yunyun had just gotten married yesterday.

“Why would they rush back to the hospital on the second day of their marriage?

“If all things are normal, shouldn’t Shen Yuechuan and Yunyun be going on a honeymoon? At least they should spend some time alone with each other for two or three days, right?

“That’s more like getting married!”

Xu Youning’s intuition told her that Shen Yuechuan’s situation might not be optimistic.

Xu Youning thought of it, and so did Kang Ruicheng.

After listening to Dongzi’s report, Kang Ruicheng smiled coldly. “It would be best if something happened to Shen Yuechuan. In this way, Lu Boyan’s right-hand man will be crippled. Many things that were originally under Shen Yuechuan’s charge will inevitably get into a stalemate. We can take advantage of this.”

After all, Dongzi knew Kang Ruicheng well. He immediately understood what Kang Ruicheng was thinking and said decisively, “Brother Cheng, I’ll check it out and see if I can investigate this thoroughly.”

Kang Ruicheng nodded. “Go ahead. Make it back as soon as possible.”

It turned out that Dongzi had overestimated his and Kang Ruicheng’s strength.

In the afternoon, Dongzi came back with a dejected face and said, “Brother Cheng, I just heard that after Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun returned to the hospital, there seemed to be a very urgent matter in the private hospital under Lu Enterprises. I heard that someone was sent to the first aid, but I can’t find out if it’s true or not, and I can’t be sure if it’s Shen Yuechuan who was sent to the first aid. The hospital has kept the news from spreading, and they’re quite good at their confidential work. I can’t find a breakthrough.”

Kang Ruicheng realized that things were not that simple. As the president of the Su Group, he contacted several business friends.

The friends he contacted had one thing in common – they all knew Shen Yuechuan and had a good relationship with him.

However, even if Kang Ruicheng talked with these people, he couldn’t get any information about Shen Yuechuan.

Just like that, the situation fell into a stalemate.

Dongzi got more and more troubled. He looked at Kang Ruicheng and asked, “Brother Cheng, what should we do?”

Kang Ruicheng thought for quite a while and said, “Since we can’t get anything, it means… that there is actually no news about Shen Yuechuan and his situation remains stable.”

He was clearly offering Dongzi an out.

Dongzi hurriedly played along and said, “Maybe that’s indeed the case!”

“In that case,” Kang Ruicheng said calmly, “then you don’t need to investigate anymore. Go do something else.”

“Okay!” Dongzi immediately agreed and left the old house of the Kang family.

Hearing this, Xu Youning took Mumu’s hand and said, “It’s time for you to take a nap. I’ll take you upstairs.”

In terms of acting skills, Mumu was a great actor.

The little boy yawned cooperatively, nodded, and said in an adorable voice, “Okay. Auntie Youning, I’m so sleepy.”

Back in the room, the drowsiness in Mumu’s eyes instantly disappeared.

The little boy grabbed Xu Youning’s hand and asked hurriedly, “Auntie Youning, is Uncle Yuechuan really okay?”

Xu Youning touched the little boy’s face with a smile and said, “Your father said that he’s okay, so he’s fine. Look, I’m not worried about Uncle Yuechuan at all!”

“Haha…” The little boy smiled and said mischievously, “I don’t believe Daddy’s words, but I believe yours!”

Xu Youning was amused by his words. She got a warm towel out of the bathroom and wiped his face and hands for him. Then, she carried him to bed and said, “Okay now. It’s time for you to sleep.”

Mumu grabbed Xu Youning’s hand uneasily and pleaded, “I can sleep, but Auntie Youning, can you stay with me?”

As Xu Youning listened to the little boy’s tone, she couldn’t help being softhearted. She nodded and said, “Of course. I will stay here. You can rest assured and sleep. Good boy.”

Only then did Mumu reveal a relieved smile and close his eyes.

Xu Youning tucked the little boy in, gently patted his shoulder, and pampered him to sleep.

He was a child after all. He got sleepy soon after he got on the bed. Before he fell asleep, the little boy opened his eyes several times to check if Xu Youning was still there.

Xu Youning’s heart softened again. Mumu was much more sensitive than ordinary children while growing up in a complicated environment.

If possible, she hoped that the little boy would not be so smart or so sensitive.

However, in less than fifteen minutes, the little boy’s eyelids completely drooped, and his breathing became even and long.

He fell asleep.

Xu Youning withdrew her hand. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she looked at Mumu for a long time without moving.

Just now, when Mumu asked about Shen Yuechuan, she lied to him.

Having worked undercover around Mu Sijue for a year, she was more or less familiar with his style.

If Shen Yuechuan was really fine, they wouldn’t have kept the news so tightly.

The hospital was on high alert, but Dongzi couldn’t get anything all of a sudden. It could just show that Shen Yuechuan was the one who had an accident in the private hospital today.

Xu Youning just wanted to know how Shen Yuechuan was now and whether he could get through his crisis or not.

“If he can’t…

“This will be a bolt from the blue for Xiao Yunyun, who has just married Yuechuan, won’t it?”
