A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 987

“OK.”

Xu Youning was very calm, as if she understood why Kang Ruicheng wanted her to answer his questions.

Kang Ruicheng crossed his fingers and put his elbows on his knees. He bent over slightly and looked at Xu Youning. “Tell me, why did Yang Shanshan want to kill you so badly?”

Xu Youning tried to restrain herself, but in the end, she still burst into laughter.

Kang Ruicheng narrowed his eyes in confusion. “A Ning, what are you laughing at?”

“I didn’t expect you to ask this question first.” Xu Youning slowly stopped smiling. “But since you are curious, I’ll tell you the answer.”

“Uh huh,” Kang Ruicheng said, “I’m listening.”

Xu Youning said slowly, “If you know Yang Shanshan well, you will know that she is a willful, selfish and suspicious person. Besides, her biggest obsession is Mu Sijue. Because I worked undercover for Mu Sijue and became pregnant with his child in the end, Yang Shanshan hates me and wants to kill me.”

Xu Youning gave an explanation like an understatement, as if she were just talking about an unimportant matter, instead of a matter related to her life.

Kang Ruicheng did not believe Xu Youning’s words unconditionally. He looked at her suspiciously and asked, “Is that all?”

Of course not.

However, Xu Youning did not intend to tell Kang Ruicheng the truth.

Telling Kang Ruicheng all the truth was equivalent to planting a seed of doubt in his heart. In the future, anything about her would probably make the seed take root and sprout, which would finally endanger her life.

The present situation was already dangerous enough for her, and she did not want to make things more difficult for herself.

Thinking of that, Xu Youning looked into Kang Ruicheng’s eyes and asked instead of answering, “Isn’t that enough? Or do you have some doubts in your heart because the answer I gave is not what you expected?!”

Xu Youning sounded somewhat excited.

The doctor had specially told him that Xu Youning must not have mood swings, which would affect the stability of the blood clot.

“A Ning, calm down first.” Kang Ruicheng hurriedly explained, “I’m just used to probing further like this.”

Xu Youning breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. “I know. Ask the second question. You must have other questions for me.”

Indeed, Kang Ruicheng had another question he was eager to ask.

Kang Ruicheng took a deep look at Xu Youning and said after a while, “Just now, Mu Sijue took the knife for you.”

“…” Xu Youning had long guessed that Kang Ruicheng would not ignore it. She did not explain immediately. Instead, she looked at Kang Ruicheng for a long time and slowly said, “I’m also surprised at what he did.”

In fact, Xu Youning did not know how to explain it for the time being.

She only knew that at the moment when Mu Sijue took the knife for her, her surprise must have been obvious on her face, and Kang Ruicheng must have seen it clearly.

It was useless for her to try to eagerly explain it or deny it.

It was the wisest choice for her to admit the part that she could admit. In this way, it would be easier for her to convince Kang Ruicheng.

Kang Ruicheng leaned back, stroked his chin with his thumb, and asked meaningfully, “Why do you think Mu Sijue did that?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Xu Youning sneered disdainfully. “He still can’t forget me.”

Xu Youning did not hesitate, nor could she.

Mu Sijue had taken the knife for her, which was too shocking and too suspicious. Her correct reaction was that she had thought about it long ago, instead of thinking about it after Kang Ruicheng asked about it.

Now, once she hesitated, it would be more likely to arouse Kang Ruicheng’s suspicion.

After listening to Xu Youning’s explanation, Kang Ruicheng’s expression did not change. Xu Youning knew that it meant that Kang Ruicheng was very satisfied with her answer.

Xu Youning was right. Then, Kang Ruicheng asked in a gentler tone, “What are you going to do?”

Xu Youning shrugged and looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with her. “I don’t want to do anything about it.”

Kang Ruicheng stroked his chin again and said in a meaningful tone, “What a pity! You know, Mu Sijue has never had a formal female companion. You are the first woman he cares so much about.”

“But, Mu Sijue is my enemy.” Xu Youning’s face suddenly clouded, and there was a chill in her eyes. “He clearly knew how important Grandma was to me, but in order to take revenge on me, he killed her. Even if he paid me back with his life, I won’t forgive him!”

Xu Youning’s tone was unprecedentedly decisive. Her words were full of long-established hatred, which was enough to make every listener frightened.

Kang Ruicheng did not react for a moment and fell into silence.

Xu Youning looked at Kang Ruicheng and sneered in her heart.

She had once thought that Kang Ruicheng would never realize that he was the murderer.

Now it seemed that he would also feel guilty.

Had Kang Ruicheng ever woken up from a nightmare at midnight?

The deep coldness in her heart spread to Xu Youning’s face. The more she looked cold and indifferent, the firmer her hatred seemed to be.

Kang Ruicheng mistakenly thought that Xu Youning’s coldness and hatred at the moment were aimed at Mu Sijue.

He felt a little fortunate about it.

However, the person Xu Youning should really hate was him.

Kang Ruicheng could not imagine how much pain he would feel if Xu Youning really hated him.

However, he would never let Xu Youning know the truth. He would make Xu Youning believe that Mu Sijue was her grandmother’s murderer.

Kang Ruicheng did not respond for a long time. Xu Youning called him and asked in a confused tone, “What’s wrong with you?”

Kang Ruicheng came to his senses and acted as if nothing had happened. He comforted Xu Youning in a gentle voice. “A Ning, don’t think too much. Your health is more important. As for Mu Sijue, we can settle with him sooner or later.”

Xu Youning nodded and firmly said, “OK!”

Kang Ruicheng remembered another thing and continued, “You don’t have to worry about the blood clots in your brain. I’ve already asked someone to find a doctor for you.”

Xu Youning’s heart skipped a beat. She tried to hide her panic and pretended to be surprised. “Really? Who did you ask for help?”

“My uncle,” Kang Ruicheng said, “He is in the Golden Triangle with abundant medical resources. If we ask him for help, we can find a better doctor more quickly.”

Xu Youning nodded and said, “Okay, I hope so.”

Kang Ruicheng got up and went straight to Xu Youning, exuding an aura of oppression.

Xu Youning had always been resistant to the person she did not like. When Kang Ruicheng approached, she just wanted to escape.

However, once she tried to evade him, she would expose herself.

Xu Youning was grateful that Kang Ruicheng had emphasized the need to hide her inner feelings and act in an extremely realistic manner when he was training her. Thus, she could hide the resistance in her heart now and calmly accept Kang Ruicheng’s approach.

Kang Ruicheng put his hands on Xu Youning’s shoulders, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead. “A Ning, you are ill because of me. From now on, I will take care of you and protect you. So, you don’t have to worry about anything. Just stay with me.”

Xu Youning closed her eyes and felt as if she had returned to the past.

If it were two years ago when she did not know Mu Sijue, she would definitely be ecstatic and even hug Kang Ruicheng excitedly when she heard what he said.

But now and in the future, it would not happen.

Kang Ruicheng had killed her grandmother and even endangered Su Jian’an’s life. Now, she just wanted to find evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s crimes or to shoot him in the heart.

Of course, it was not the right time yet. At this moment, she should still show the reaction Kang Ruicheng wanted.

Xu Youning opened her eyes and looked at Kang Ruicheng, with tears in her eyes. “Okay.”

“I still have something to do,” Kang Ruicheng said softly, “go back to your room and have a rest.”

“OK.”

Xu Youning nodded, got up and went upstairs.

Mumu was still sleeping soundly on the bed. His innocent appearance made her heart soften.

Xu Youning walked over, lifted the quilt, and lay down beside the little boy.

At this moment, Mumu suddenly turned over and murmured in his sleep. Then, he lay on his stomach like a sleeping bear.

Xu Youning smiled and shifted the little boy’s posture. She carefully tucked him in and then lay down to sleep.

However, Kang Ruicheng’s voice came to her mind like a devil’s voice. She could not fall asleep at all.

“We will be able to find a better doctor more quickly.”

Kang Ruicheng was very excited, but it was not good news for Xu Youning.

The faster Kang Jintian found a doctor for her, the earlier she would be exposed, and the greater the crisis she would face.

If she was in a better condition, she would have to continue to search for evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s crimes.

In the current situation, she could not afford to delay any longer.

When she thought of this, Xu Youning almost could not help thinking of Mu Sijue.

“What was Mu Sijue doing at this time?”

“Hmm…”

Mumu suddenly stretched himself and opened his eyes in his sleep, and saw that Xu Youning had woken up. After a long time, he came to his senses and asked, “Auntie Youning, why didn’t you sleep?”

“I slept.” In order not to let the little boy worry, Xu Youning touched his head and said, “It’s not that I didn’t sleep, but that I slept for a shorter time than you.”

Mumu rubbed his eyes and said, “Okay.” As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled. The little boy touched it and looked at Xu Youning with grievance. “Auntie Youning, I’m hungry.”

Xu Youning lifted the quilt off the little boy and said, “Get up. Let’s eat.”

Mumu was really hungry. He grabbed the spoon and kept eating. Even Xu Youning could hardly keep up with him as he gobbled down his food.

More than half of the three dishes and one soup had been eaten by Mumu.

After finishing the last mouthful of rice in the bowl, Mumu looked up and sighed with satisfaction. “I’m full!”

“Great!” Then, Xu Youning wiped the little boy’s mouth and said, “Let’s take a walk. I have something to tell you, okay?”
