A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu - Chapter 406

Chapter 406: 406

Xu Youning had no idea how she had fallen asleep . It was noon when she got up .

Subconsciously, she scanned her bed side, and there was only Ah Guang sitting on the couch . Disappointment came to her gradually .

It made sense . The night before, Mu Sijue stormed out without hesitation . It was highly unlikely that he would visit that day .

“Sister Youning, you’re up!” Ah Guang ran to her and said, “The doctor just checked on you and said that the wound on your forehead is healed . But um… um…”

“It left a scar,” Xu Youning finished Ah Guang’s sentence, “I already knew . It’s okay . ”

“The doctor said the wound was quite deep . So if you decide not to have a surgery for this, it’s gonna be hard for the scar to fade naturally . ” Ah Guang scratched the back of his head, “Girls are concerned for their appearance, right? Sister Youning, are you really fine with it?”

“…”

They were talking about a scar on the face . Would it be possible for a girl to be okay with it?

Xu Youning was optimistic, though . Come to think of it, she had that scar because of Mu Sijue . It was the guy she loved! It didn’t matter anymore .

She nodded with certainty and said, “It has no effect in my current life anyway . If I can’t stand this someday, I will just have it removed then . By the way, I am the one who’s scarred, not you . Why are you so worried?”

Ah Guang was like a little boy whose secret had been found out . He smiled shyly, “I… I was just wondering if Seventh Brother would help you . ”

“Mu Sijue?”

Inevitably, Mu Sijue’s emotionless back when leaving and the cold look on his face popped up in Xu Youning’s head . Suddenly, she felt a dull pain on her leg .

She forced herself to pull off a smile . “Seventh Brother is too busy to pay attention to trivial matters . ”

He could even overlook her confession and her courage, which kind of suggested that he wouldn’t care about the scar on her forehead .

At night, Xu Youning was looking at the mirror after Ah Guang had left .

After being healed for a week with different kinds of supplements, she looked better than ever with a healthy complexion . Nonetheless, the scar on her forehead was like a crack on an exquisite china, ruining her beauty cruelly and roughly .

Xu Youning covered the scar with her hair, as she did with the upsetting story of hers .

She thought, in self-deceit, that if she didn’t think of the times she spent with Mu Sijue, the memories could be buried in the past like the scar hidden beneath her hair .

Xu Youning lost all her hope . Also, Mu Sijue didn’t go to the hospital ever since . Xu Youning focused on her medical treatment and blocked herself from caring about Mu Sijue . Occasionally, when Ah Guang mentioned Mu Sijue, she smoothly switched the topic .

At that night, Mu Sijue had already informed her his answer, explicitly, with his reactions . It was useless for her to hold any anticipation about him . It was for the best to cut him loose, and set herself free .

As for the future… Well, she could make plans for the future in the future .

Su Jianan was getting better . When she was bored, she went to see Xu Youning; they hanged out together in the garden of the hospital . It had been fun .

That afternoon, Su Jianan called Xu Youning . She told her that Lu Boyan had sent some refreshments over and asked Xu Youning to meet her in the garden .

English tea time—all the delicate desserts on a white rack, with lustrous Earl Grey steaming—shining under the sunlight in the afternoon . Even it was at the hospital, the leisurely calm afternoon tea was not affected .

Ah Guang helped Xu Youning push her wheelchair . When they went down, Su Jianan had been already sitting under the sunshade . Given to Xu Youning’s work instinct, she noticed instantly that there is a guy and a woman besides of Xu Youning . They were wearing casuals, and seemed to be just like two normal people .

However, they were alert and guarding, which was self-explanatory for Xu Youning . The woman was protecting Su Jianan at a short distance in case of any possible attacks, while the guy was looking out for any dangers around them . Their aura and unflustered manners gave away that they were both experienced guards . She might know them if she knew their names .

Suddenly, it occurred to her that Kang Ruicheng had asked her to hurt Su Jianan .

Well, it seemed that even if she was willing to, she would be killed before she could approach her .

“Ah Guang, maybe you can take a walk or go back?”

Xu Youning pushed her wheelchair by herself to reach Su Jianan . The woman who was closely protecting Su Jianan scanned her quickly . Xu Youning felt a little bit uncomfortable .

“It was Boyan’s arrangement,” Su Jianan explained, “They hold nothing against you . It’s just their instinct . ”

“I understand . ” Xu Youning smiled and said, “I worked for Mu Sijue for a very long time . It’s not the first time for me being scanned by other people like that . It’s still hard to get used to it though . ”

Su Jianan continued, “Has Mu Sijue come to check on you?” It wasn’t difficult to see from her eyes that Su Jianan was looking forward to Xu Youning’s answer .

Xu Youning’s look dimmed, but then she realized that it wasn’t good to show her sadness . She beamed, in a way to cover her disappointment . She said, “Nah . Maybe he’s been busy . Well, he’s not gonna make me heal faster anyway . ”

Su Jianan struggled with the thought and said, “…That’s weird . ”

As far as she knew, Mu Sijue had not been very busy . That day, Mu Sijue used her as an excuse, saying that he was visiting her, but he actually went for Xu Youning . “He could reuse that excuse . Why hasn’t he come?”

Xu Youning looked at Su Jianan confusedly . “What do you mean?”

Su Jianan shook her head, the pointed at the macarons on the desert rack and tried to distract Xu Youning, saying, “Try . It’s been said that these are the best macarons in the city . ”

“Oh . ” Xu Youning was a macaron maniac . She then enjoyed her afternoon tea relaxingly . In the meantime, she checked the other guard out, the male one, who was standing nearby and looking around . She pointed at him and asked, “Is it necessary to be this careful when you are at your own hospital?”

Su Jianan took a sip of her juice and replied, “I don’t like it either . But Boyan said it’s for the best to be cautious . ” She had no choice .

Xu Youning nodded, showing approval . “Indeed, it’s never wrong to be careful . ”

After their tea time, the female guard protecting Su Jianan called Lu Boyan’s office . “Mr . Lu, Xu Youning didn’t appear to be a harm to Mrs . Lu . ”

“But Kang Ruicheng does,” Lu Boyan said, “Don’t slack off . ”

The woman responded with solemnity, “Understood!”

As long as they were there, nobody could harm Su Jianan; not even her hair, let alone the babies .

After that, with the help of the doctors, Su Jianan was getting better and better . She had stayed for few more days just to make sure that her condition was stable . Finally, Dr . Han discharged her .

It was during a weekend when she was discharged; a warm, sunny day . Su Jianan woke up early in the morning . She couldn’t wait another minute to take off her patient clothes .

After ten days of staying in the hospital, she looked thinner and slightly pale . The maternity clothes were obviously too big for her . It seemed like they could fit a larger pregnant lady . Heartbroken, Lu Boyan frowned hard . But she was quite optimistic about things . “I did get bigger . ”

Lu Boyan scanned her, asking with suspicion, “Where?”

Su Jianan pointed at her own stomach, looking serious . “Here . ”

She wasn’t kidding at all . Maybe it was because of the twins, ever since her bump was showing, her stomach was like a balloon: getting bigger and bigger day by day at an outrageous speed . Other pregnant moms could never defeat her in terms of the speed of growing her bump .

Despite her fast growing belly, other pregnant moms at the same period as her could easily defeat her in terms of weight . Carrying around a big, rounded bump with her skinny body would be a challenge for her . It would get even bigger once it reached its limit .

“…” Lu Boyan’s hand touched her stomach gently, “Are you tired?”

“Hey, don’t forget what I did for a living!” Su Jianan meant it as she said, “I used to stand in front of the dissecting table for a whole day . And I had to hang in there even when I worked overnight . But now I can sit or lie down whenever I want . How tired could I be now?”

Lu Boyan went silent for a while . He said, “I think we should cut down a little bit on discussing your profession or dissecting tables before the babies come along . It’s bad fetal education . ”

“…” Su Jianan mulled over it, and nodded her approval . But then, all of a sudden, she realized something—”Did Lu Boyan just refer to my profession with contempt?”

Before she could ask, she was dragged out of the hospital .

April, the end of spring . The remaining coldness was dissipated by the sunlight . The once withered tree thrived with green leaves, reflecting a flourishing city view .

Before they got into the car, Su Jianan thanked Dr . Han as she was sending them off, for her dedication while taking care of her .

“I was just doing my job,” Dr . Han said, “The most important thing is that your babies and you are safe and sound . ” Or else, they could lose their jobs .

On the way home, Su Jianan thought of Xu Youning and asked, “When can Youning be discharged?”

“Around these few days, I guess,” Lu Boyan said, “Mu Qi would have it settled . Don’t worry . ”

What really worried Su Jianan was the relationship between Mu Sijue and Xu Youning .

However, love was destined .

Like Lu Boyan and her, two people with no previous connections; they got in touch because of a certain incident and fell for each other when they were young, then were confused and kept apart for 14 years . But they were eventually married and fell in love all over again because of their families’ arrangement .

If Mu Sijue and Xu Youning were meant to be, no matter what lied between them, they would pass through all of it and be together in the end .

But if they weren’t meant to be, then Xu Youning would have to suffer . After all, love cannot be forced . Not everyone gets what they want .

They went back to the Dingya Villas, where Shen Yuechuan was sitting on the couch in the living room brazenly, enjoying the food prepared by the chef .

Seeing that Lu Boyan had come returned, Shen Yuechuan handed a file to him, saying, “Selling figures of the property this month . ”

Lu Boyan flipped over the file casually . It seemed like he had expected the result; he put down the file with no response .

“Mood killer . ” Shen Yuechuan looked at Lu Boyan, unsatisfied . “It’s not bad at all . Show something . ”

Lu Boyan said with the slightest emotion, “It’s just my normal standard . ”

Su Yicheng: “…”

Su Jianan grabbed the file and flipped it over . She didn’t know much about the content, but from the conclusion of the report, she could tell that the Lu Enterprises Property Agency returned to where it once was . All the selling counters of the properties were crowded . Even the collapsed Fanting Garden entered the process of reconstruction . The workers and their families were settled and received proper amounts of reimbursement . All of those were reported by the press; Lu Enterprises regained its reputation .

Lu Boyan won, after all .
