Mu Sijue’s Narcissism
Su Jian’an stayed at home with her two children, and finally, she could take a break. She fiddled with her phone and saw a news notification from a financial newspaper:
In the afternoon, the closing quotation stock price of Zhong Enterprises plummeted. Its major shareholders all asked to withdraw their funds from the company, and its senior executives handed in their resignation resolutely.
An insider told the newspaper that both the Zhong Enterprises and Zhong Family were in a mess.
It was obvious that someone was targeting the Zhong Enterprises, and this person had to be very powerful judging by that the Zhong Family, who was powerful as well, was defeated so quickly.
It was difficult to guess who this person was.
However, Su Jian’an knew who it was without guessing.
Nevertheless, Lu Boyan had never mentioned it to her.
When it almost got dark, Lu Boyan came back. Su Jian’an wanted to ask about the news of the Zhong family, but Lu Boyan took her to the fitting room upstairs.
In addition to their bedroom, the fitting room was the second place where they could make out in the house.
Su Jian’an blushed and quickly suppressed her indescribable emotions. "Boyan…"
Lu Boyan handed her a set of sportswear and said, "Change into it. You can ask me a question after you run every kilometer."
Su Jian’an gritted her teeth and changed into her sportswear.
If Lu Boyan tried to force her to keep running in this way, she could only surrender and admit that Lu Boyan had come up with a good idea!
After warming up, Su Jian’an started running with Lu Boyan.
Because her legs were still sore, it was much harder for her to run than yesterday, and she could hardly move her feet.
However, for the chance to ask him questions, she gave it her all!
Lu Boyan didn’t take pity on her. She was not good at exercising, so it was inevitable that she would feel pain during the process, but everything would be fine after she managed to overcome it.
After running for a kilometer, Su Jian’an stopped and her legs went so weak that she almost fell to the ground.
Lu Boyan quickly held her and said, "Take a deep breath. Don’t sit down immediately."
Su Jian’an took a few deep breaths. "I want to ask you about the Zhong Enterprises."
"Yes, it’s me who did it," Lu Boyan said. "Because Zhong Lyue was put into prison, the Zhong Family has always hated the Lu Enterprises. In this case, the best way to solve the matter is to make the Zhong Family leave City A."
Su Jian’an expressed her doubts. "Are you sure?"
Lu Boyan took a deep look at her. "If they leave City A now, they will still have a chance to make a comeback. If they insist on staying here, they will be ruined forever."
Su Jian’an understood.
Lu Boyan forced the Zhong Family to leave City A just because he didn’t want to see them in the city again, not because he was being considerate to them.
It made sense.
Since Tang Yulan was so badly injured because of the Zhong Family, Lu Boyan could not wait to turn the entire Zhong Family into ashes. How could he be considerate to them?
Su Jian’an finally understood why people said that the last person they wanted to mess with in City A was Lu Boyan.
However, she still had worries and asked hesitantly, "Will the Zhong Family fight back just as the Su Group did?"
Before their children were born, Lu Boyan had tried to acquire the Su Group.
Just as he was about to succeed, Kang Ruicheng suddenly invested secretly in the Su Group and became the CEO of the group.
Su Jian’an was afraid that such an accident would happen again.
"Don’t worry. It won’t happen again," Lu Boyan said. "This time, Kang Ruicheng should be busy handling his own problems."
Su Jian’an was excited to hear the words "busy handling his own problems".
She wanted to learn more details, but Lu Boyan said before she could ask any question, "If you want to ask me another question, you need to run another kilometer."
Su Jian’an’s eyes widened in shock. "Am I your wife?"
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and replied, "Yes, but I’m a man of principles."
Su Jian’an was speechless and started to run silently.
After running for another two or three kilometers, Su Jian’an suddenly didn’t feel that tired anymore and stopped panting heavily. She started to enjoy running.
After running five kilometers, Su Jian’an felt comfortable all over.
Lu Boyan smiled when he found that Su Jian’an no longer wore a bitter smile. "Do you find it enjoyable?" He asked.
Su Jian’an looked at the garden in the twilight and nodded. "I’ve decided to run with you from tomorrow."
As a medical examiner, she knew the human body better than most people in the world, so she naturally knew that if one wanted to remain healthy, he would need to do a certain amount of
Yuechuan had already fallen sick. She didn’t want to fall sick, lie in the hospital for treatment, or make those who she loved worry about her.
Before falling asleep, Su Jian’an kept snuggling into Lu Boyan’s arms and pressed her body against his as if she wanted their bodies to merge into one.
Lu Boyan stroked Su Jian’an’s hair and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Yuechuan is going to receive his last treatment tomorrow. I’m a little worried. What if…"
Su Jian’an couldn’t bear to continue.
She couldn’t face it if things went worse.
Lu Boyan wrapped his arms around her head tightly. "Jiqing and Henry will do their best. If the treatment effect is not ideal, they will think of another way."
"Mm," Su Jian’an said gloomily.
"Jian’an, Yuechuan has a medical team," Lu Boyan said softly. "Let those doctors take care of Yuechuan’s condition. You should have a good rest. You have to go to the hospital to accompany Yunyun and Yuechuan tomorrow, and I can’t go with you as I’m busy tomorrow."
Su Jian’an nodded. "Okay."
Lu Boyan kissed Su Jian’an’s forehead. "Close your eyes and sleep."
Perhaps because Lu Boyan’s embrace eased her tension, Su Jian’an soon fell asleep.
The next day.
Lu Boyan had to attend some important meetings, so he went to the company early.
Su Jian’an thought for a moment and decided to take her two children with her to the hospital. She left them in Tang Yulan’s ward and asked Aunt Liu to take care of them. Then, she went to find Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan.
Shen Yuechuan’s treatment would begin at 10 o’clock, and there were still 30 minutes left.
Su Jian’an walked out of the elevator and saw Mu Sijue standing at the door of the ward. She was confused and asked, "Sijue, why don’t you go in?"
Mu Sijue replied, "Yuechuan and Yunyun are in the room."
Su Jian’an gave him a look of "I got it" and stood side by side with Mu Sijue.
Both of them remained silent, which made the atmosphere a little embarrassing.
To ease the embarrassment, Su Jian’an said, "Boyan has something to do and will come in the afternoon."
"He told me about it." Mu Sijue’s voice was indifferent. "It doesn’t matter. Since I’m here, he doesn’t need to come in person."
Su Jian’an really didn’t know what to say, and she just replied with a "hmm".
Mu Sijue didn’t say anything more. He stood there with a poker face, like an ice sculpture. His cold aura seemed to be able to freeze the surrounding air.
Su Jian’an couldn’t help rubbing her arms to keep them warm. She thought to herself, "No wonder Youning always complains about Mu Sijue."
It was too difficult for ordinary people to bear his pressing aura.
Su Jian’an was under a lot of pressure standing with him.
In the ward, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun had no idea what was happening outside.
They had been preparing for this day for a long time.
Xiao Yunyun had thought that she wouldn’t be very nervous when this day came and that she would face it calmly.
However, since Shen Yuechuan’s fate would be determined this day, how could she not be nervous?
When Henry told her that it was almost time Shen Yuechuan received his treatment, Xiao Yunyun’s eyes became tearful. She grabbed Shen Yuechuan’s hand and said, "You know, you are not my type."
Xiao Yunyun had always told him that Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng were her types.
"Yeah, I know. But it’s too late to regret." With that, Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun’s hand tightly. "We are already engaged."
"As long as we’re not married yet, I could change my mind." Xiao Yunyun grabbed Shen Yuechuan more and more tightly. "So, you’d better come out safely this time. Otherwise, I’ll change my mind and go to pursue men like Lu Boyan and Su Yicheng."
In the end, Xiao Yunyun’s eyes became tearful again.
Shen Yuechuan sighed. "Silly girl."
He held Xiao Yunyun in his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her gently on the lips.
Xiao Yunyun closed her eyes and kept persuading herself not to cry. Shen Yuechuan was going to receive his last treatment soon, so she shouldn’t make him worry.
She absolutely could not cry.
Xiao Yunyun finally held back her tears while Shen Yuechuan kissed her gently.
Not long after, her phone rang again. Henry’s urging voice came from the receiver. "Yuechuan, you should get ready."
Shen Yuechuan let go of Xiao Yunyun’s hands and rubbed her forehead intimately with his chin. "Don’t cry. I will wake up tomorrow at the latest."
Xiao Yunyun held back her tears and nodded.
She was a doctor as well, so she knew Shen Yuechuan’s treatment couldn’t be delayed. She grabbed his hand and walked out, saying, "Go. Go to Henry."
After changing his clothes, Shen Yuechuan lay on the operating bed and was pushed into the operating room.
Xiao Yunyun’s heart jumped quickly; she was so nervous. She grabbed Shen Yuechuan’s hand and followed him all the way.
Shen Yuechuan mouthed, "Wait for me to come out after the treatment."
Xiao Yunyun’s eyes became tearful once more. She wanted to say something, but she felt like there was a fireball stuck in her throat that she couldn’t speak, no matter how hard she tried.
When they arrived at the operating room, the nurse stopped Xiao Yunyun. "Please wait outside, miss."
Xiao Yunyun was forced to let go of Shen Yuechuan’s hand, and she finally cried out, "Yuechuan!"
The operating room’s door closed with a click. It was unknown whether Shen Yuechuan heard Xiao Yunyun’s voice or not, but Xiao Yunyun could not hear his response.
All of a sudden, Xiao Yunyun burst into tears. She held onto the door of the operating room as if she wanted to push the door open.
Su Jian’an came over and held Xiao Yunyun’s shoulder with one hand. "Yunyun, come with me and wait over there."
Xiao Yunyun turned around and looked at Su Jian’an with tears in her eyes. "Jian’an, I regretted it."
Su Jian’an was confused. "What do you mean?"
Xiao Yunyun looked like she was about to cry. "Before Yuechuan was pushed into the room, I threatened him that if he didn’t hold on, I would find another boyfriend who is like my cousin and your husband."
"Huh?" Su Jian’an was confused. "Why do you want to find another boyfriend who is like my brother and Boyan?"
Xiao Yunyun said in a crying voice, "Because they are my type!" After that, she suddenly realized that what Su Jian’an said was not the point…
Su Jian’an firmly believed that Xiao Yunyun, a naive girl, must have been deceived by all kinds of news reports that praised Lu Boyan.
Mu Sijue handed Xiao Yunyun a handkerchief but didn’t say anything, but his expression showed that he despised Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun took the handkerchief, wiped her tears off, and looked at Mu Sijue in confusion. "Boss Mu, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Don’t get me wrong," Mu Sijue said, "I’m just thinking that you have poor taste. I can’t believe you like Boyan."
Xiao Yunyun was distracted by the topic and she asked curiously, "What kind of men should I like that you will think I have a good taste?"
Mu Sijue replied in a naturally proud tone, "Of course, men like me."
