Half an hour later, Lu Boyan returned home and saw Su Jian’an sitting on the sofa with a serious look.
He walked up to her and asked, “What did Xu Youning tell you?”
Su Jian’an shook her head. “She didn’t say anything.”
Lu Boyan frowned and asked, “How did you know that there was something wrong with her?”
Su Jian’an pulled Lu Boyan to sit down. “I told Youning that I had thought she liked Sijue, but she said that I had misunderstood. If I really misunderstood, her tone should have been resolute, but in fact, she said that in a very hesitant tone, and—”
Having said too much in one breath, with insufficient lung capacity, Su Jian’an couldn’t take it anymore, so she had to stop and take a breath.
Lu Boyan handed Su Jian’an a glass of water. “Don’t worry. Speak slowly.”
Su Jian’an took a sip of water and hurriedly continued while ignoring Lu Boyan’s words, “Also, when Youning mentioned Kang Ruicheng, there was something wrong with her tone.”
“Hmm?” Lu Boyan asked patiently, “Something wrong?”
For a moment, Su Jian’an ignored that the person in front of her was Lu Boyan. She blurted out, “When you like someone, you will feel very sweet when you pronounce their name, just like when I mention you occasionally. Do you understand that kind of feeling? But when Youning mentioned Kang Ruicheng, her tone was too indifferent. I don’t believe that she likes Kang Ruicheng. Sijue must have misunderstood!”
She said that so hurriedly that her cheeks turned red, and she didn’t even realize what she had said.
Lu Boyan lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Su Jian’an was stunned and did not know what was going on.
They were talking about Mu Sijue and Xu Youning, but why did Lu Boyan suddenly kiss her?
Lu Boyan’s kiss was getting increasingly passionate. Su Jian’an habitually wrapped her arms around his waist and exchanged breaths with him. Soon, she became muddleheaded, throwing herself into Lu Boyan’s arms.
“Cough, cough.”
Uncle Xu’s cough was heard. Su Jian’an suddenly came to her senses and broke free from Lu Boyan’s arms. Her reddish face turned into a red apple which had just ripened, plump and watery, emitting an attractive fruit fragrance.
Looking at her, Lu Boyan still felt tempted.
Someone had asked him if his feeling for Su Jian’an had changed after getting married to her and having kids.
Of course, some changes had taken place.
Every day, he felt that he loved Su Jian’an more than yesterday.
He stared at Su Jian’an affectionately and gently, as if he was going to suck her into his eyes. She unnaturally looked away and stared at his chest. “We are talking about Sijue and Youning.”
“Answer my question first.” Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an with a faint smile. “When you mention me now, what will you look like?”
In the past, Su Jian’an used to feel sweet when mentioning him.
What about now? Did she still feel the same?
Su Jian’an looked straight into Lu Boyan’s eyes. “We’re already married. Of course, I will call ‘my husband’ generously whenever I talk of you.”
Lu Boyan was reasonably satisfied with the answer, but he asked as if he didn’t hear it clearly, “Pardon?”
Su Jian’an poked Lu Boyan’s chest and said, “Are you so bored? What’s more important now is the affair of Sijue and Youning!”
Lu Boyan reluctantly returned to the topic. “Something’s wrong with Xu Youning. So, what are your suspicions?”
“I—” Su Jian’an bit her lip and said uncertainly, “I suspect that Youning actually knows the truth about Granny Xu’s death.”
Lu Boyan had gone through ups and downs in the business world for so many years. There was little news that could shock him.
However, hearing Su Jian’an’s words, he was almost inevitably stunned for half a second.
Su Jian’an’s suspicion was not groundless.
Even if Su Jian’an didn’t know much about Mu Sijue, she didn’t believe that Mu Sijue would hurt an old man, let alone Xu Youning, who had followed Mu Sijue for a year.
Mu Sijue made a rule that he would never hurt the elderly and children, which was known to all of his men. How could Xu Youning forget it?
Perhaps, it wasn’t that Xu Youning didn’t believe in Mu Sijue. She actually knew the truth.
If that was the case, then when Xu Youning returned to Kang Ruicheng…
A possibility came to Lu Boyan’s mind. Instantly, he stood up and said, “I’ll contact Sijue right away.”
At this time, Mu Sijue and one of his men were talking on the phone.
He was informed that Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi had accidentally met Xu Youning today. Su Jian’an persuaded Xu Youning to come back, but Xu Youning said…
The young man’s voice suddenly stopped as if he didn’t dare to continue.
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, “What did she say?”
“Xu Youning told Mrs. Lu,” the man hesitated for a moment and said, “that she wouldn’t leave Kang Ruicheng. Also, she told you not to waste your time tracking her.”
Mu Sijue suddenly felt that someone suddenly bumped into his heart and caused a bottomless hole in his heart. He couldn’t feel the pain, but the blood kept flowing out of the hole.
She wouldn’t leave Kang Ruicheng.
“Well, sure enough, Xu Youning likes Kang Ruicheng.”
Mu Sijue hung up the phone and held it in his hand. The cuts on his palm, which had been caused by the glass shards, were about to split open again.
Before the phone was crushed by Mu Sijue, it had vibrated slightly, and Lu Boyan’s name appeared on the screen.
Mu Sijue picked up the call and answered with a “hmm”.
Lu Boyan noticed that there was something wrong with his tone, but he didn’t have time to ask the reason. He said directly, “Jian’an met Xu Youning today.”
Mu Sijue’s voice suddenly became deeper. “I know.”
“You know it?” Lu Boyan asked in surprise, “Have you ever doubted that Xu Youning might know the truth about her grandmother’s death?”
Mu Sijue abruptly laughed, and his voice was full of self-deprecation. “You think too much.”
Xu Youning never knew the truth, and she was firmly suspicious of him.
“You thinking too little.” Lu Boyan said, “You’ve come into contact with Xu Youning twice in City A, but haven’t you found anything wrong with her?”
Mu Sijue said, “There may be something wrong with her health.”
Lu Boyan pinched the part between his eyebrows. “What else?”
Mu Sijue suddenly realized something and growled in a low voice, “What on earth do you want to tell me?”
Lu Boyan then said slowly, “Jian’an chatted with Xu Youning for a while. She suspected that Xu Youning knew the truth about Granny Xu’s death. If so, Xu Youning went back to Kang Ruicheng just to seek revenge.”
In a split second, Mu Sijue thought of a few things.
After Xiyu and Xiangyi were born, he came across Xu Youning in the hospital. They confronted each other in the garden. At the moment when he was distracted, Xu Youning obviously had a chance to get rid of him, but she was actually stabbed by him.
He had vaguely felt that something was wrong at that time, but there was no more evidence, so he didn’t take it seriously.
Perhaps, she wanted to use that wound to gain Kang Ruicheng’s trust?
Also, if Xu Youning insisted that he was the murderer of her grandmother, how could she tolerate him sleeping with her?
According to Xu Youning’s character, she would probably die with him when he touched her.
Lu Boyan added, “Maybe we all underestimated Xu Youning. From the beginning, she knew the truth.”
Mu Sijue abruptly grabbed the things at hand and said, “I’ll go to City A right away.”
If Su Jian’an’s suspicion was right, when Kang Ruicheng found out the real reason why Xu Youning stayed with him, he would use all kinds of harsh punishments on her.
Even if Su Jian’an’s suspicion was wrong, it didn’t matter. He could tell Xu Youning the truth.
He couldn’t tolerate Xu Youning staying with Kang Ruicheng for even one day more!
Lu Boyan had guessed that Mu Sijue would be anxious, but he didn’t expect that Mu Sijue would be so anxious. He still wanted to say something else, but Mu Sijue had already hung up the phone, so he had to put his phone away.
Su Jian’an hurriedly asked, “What did Sijue say?”
Lu Boyan tried to put it lightly. “He said he would come to City A right away.”
Su Jian’an nodded and said, “That’s good. At least he should take Youning back first. If Youning really plans to take revenge, she is in a very dangerous situation.”
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an curiously. “I told you the truth about Granny Xu’s death. Why didn’t you tell Xu Youning in the cafe?”
Su Jian’an made a careful and detailed analysis. “Kang Ruicheng should have sent some people to follow Youning. If I had said it out loud and Kang Ruicheng’s people heard me, it would not be helpful to Youning, and she could even be in danger.”
Lu Boyan kissed Su Jian’an. “Smart.”
Su Jian’an snorted softly. “Don’t forget what I used to be! I used to work with Jiang Shaokai and solved many outstanding cases.”
Even if Jiang Shaokai was married, Lu Boyan still did not want to hear Su Jian’an say his name.
Boss Lu was obviously jealous. He took a bite of Su Jian’an’s lips and said, “If you work with Jiang Shaokai, you can only solve the cases. If we work together, we can do a lot of things.”
Su Jian’an acted as if she didn’t understand Lu Boyan’s hint and asked in confusion, “So?”
“So, don’t mention Jiang Shaokai anymore,” Lu Boyan said, “otherwise, I will be jealous.”
“I see a green-eyed monster.” Su Jian’an smiled and added, “Is that you?”
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an at leisure. “That’s me, so what are you going to do?”
Su Jian’an shook her head with a smile and took a step back, accidentally knocking over the bag that she had just brought back. The clothes inside slipped out.
She was about to put the clothes away when Lu Boyan had already picked them before her.
“I just bought it!” Su Jian’an said hurriedly, “Is it beautiful?”
“It’s too small,” Lu Boyan said, “not suitable for you.”
Su Jian’an almost exploded. “It’s a small-size one. I’m wearing small-size clothes. It’s not small at all. Or…” She suddenly said in an unpleasant tone, “Do you think I’m growing fatter?”
Lu Boyan looked at Su Jian’an with a faint smile. “Just a particular part. Why are you so agitated?”
Su Jian’an did not respond for a moment. She asked in a daze, “Which part?”
Lu Boyan lowered his head and whispered into Su Jian’an’s ear, “I’ll tell you tonight.”
Su Jian’an suddenly understood, and her cheeks turned red all of a sudden. She looked at Lu Boyan unnaturally. “How, how do you know… that it’s small for that part? You, you just took a look at it.”
Lu Boyan took a bite of Su Jian’an’s ear. “Don’t forget that ‘they’ were brought up by me.”
Brought up… by him…
Su Jian’an completely broke down and buried her face in Lu Boyan’s arms. “Stop it…”
Lu Boyan smiled and held the little woman, whose cheeks were burning hot, in his arms with a happy smile.
Feeling his good mood, Su Jian’an bit his clothes unwillingly. “Bad guy.”
However, she still loved him very much, however bad Lu Boyan was.
It seemed to be a predestined thing. She could not change it, nor did she want to change it.
