Chapter 1001 Touching Was Gaining (1)

At an office building in the Central Business District.

When Mu Sijue bought this office building, he planned to make it into the headquarters of MJ Technology.

Yes, he wanted to transfer his company to City A all for Xu Youning’s sake.

Xu Youning must have many people’s blood on her hands after working for Kang Ruicheng for so many years. Once she was no longer under the protection of Kang Ruicheng, she would definitely be pursued by the international criminal police.

At that time, Mu Sijue would be the only person who could protect Xu Youning.

He had already thought of what to offer to the police in exchange for Xu Youning.

He could give up a lot of things but he could not lose Xu Youning.

Therefore, he bought this office building to make it the headquarters of MJ Technology in preparation for the negotiation with the police in the future.

However, Xu Youning told him that she had never trusted him. She even aborted their child and went back to Kang Ruicheng.

At that moment, Mu Sijue suddenly felt that everything he had done, including buying the building, had been extremely stupid.

But now, recalling their past, Mu Sijue found he was foolish enough to believe what Xu Youning told him so easily and even wanted to disclose Xu Youning’s bloody past to the international criminal police, thus exposing her to a double crises.

Even if he could put everything right, he did not deserve to be forgiven.

Dusk fell and the whole building was gradually shrouded in darkness. Mu Sijue’s handsome face was partially in the light and in the shadows, which made him look more solemn.

Right at this moment, Mu Sijue’s cell phone rang with Ah Jin’s number displayed on the screen.

Mu Sijue picked up the phone quickly and asked directly, “How’s Xu Youning?”

“The doctors invited by Kang Jintian were detained by the local Customs. Kang Ruicheng was mad and Ms. Xu looked agitated too. But they’ve calmed down now,” Ah Jin let out a long sigh of relief, “Seventh Brother, we overcame one difficulty. Ms. Xu is safe for now.”

“Okay,” Mu Sijue’s tone became relieved, “Does she… look fine?”

“She is good. She has built up her strength,” Ah Jin answered, “Don’t worry, Seventh Brother. I’ll protect Ms. Xu if there’s an emergency.”

Mu Sijue didn’t reply. Instead, he was lost in thought.

Xu Youning was pregnant with his child. He should be the one to protect her.

However, not only did he fail to protect her but he also put Xu Youning and the baby in danger.

If Lu Boyan was a positive example of a new father, then he was the negative one.

After a long time, Mu Sijue slowly asked, “Was Kang Ruicheng aware that Xu Youning had sneaked into his study room?”

Hearing this, Ah Jin couldn’t help laughing and said with pure admiration, “Seventh Brother, I really admire you. You made Auston divert Kang Ruicheng’s attention. Ms. Xu came out of the study successfully and Kang Ruicheng didn’t discover it at all!”

When Xu Youning came out of the bedroom that day, she suddenly asked Ah Jin when Kang Ruicheng would come back.

Ah Jin knew what Xu Youning wanted to do, so he answered her question truthfully. Meanwhile, he kept an eye on Kang Ruicheng’s movements all the time for fear of any sudden change in his schedule and he contacted Mu Sijue at the same time.

Not long after Xu Youning sneaked into Kang Ruicheng’s study, Ah Jin was told that Kang Ruicheng had returned home ahead of time.

As there were several other subordinates around at that time, Ah Jin couldn’t rush into the study to pull Xu Youning out to get her out of trouble.

When Ah Jin was in an acute state of anxiety, Auston suddenly paid them a visit. Ah Jin hurriedly went to greet him.

Knowing Ah Jin’s identity, Auston secretly told Ah Jin to tell Kang Ruicheng he was here once Kang Ruicheng came back and that he could buy Xu Youning some time to leave the study.

As soon as Auston finished speaking, Ah Jin noticed Kang Ruicheng had arrived. He hurriedly chased after Kang Ruicheng to the second floor and stopped Kang Ruicheng at the door of the study. After telling Kang Ruicheng of Auston’s arrival, Ah Jin deliberately asked whether Auston had changed his mind and planned to work with them.

Kang Ruicheng had always been eager to cooperate with Auston to open up a safe transportation route. Therefore, he would not waste any time.

As expected, Kang Ruicheng went downstairs to meet Auston without hesitation.

Auston had a long chat with Kang Ruicheng, which gave Xu Youning nearly 20 minutes.

Before leaving, Auston stealthily whispered to Ah Jin that he came in time because of Mu Sijue.

Mu Sijue knew Kang Ruicheng was quite a fickle sort. He was afraid that Xu Youning would be exposed if Kang Ruicheng went home in advance.

It turned out that Mu Sijue was really good at predicting.

Xu Youning would never guess that it was Mu Sijue who had helped her at the most critical moment.

The naive girl would probably take it as a coincidence.

Ah Jin couldn’t help but feel sorry for Mu Sijue — wasn’t it too unfair for Mu Sijue that he had done so much for Xu Youning but she was not aware of anything?

Ah Jin thought for a second and asked, “Seventh Brother, do you need me to inform Ms. Xu that you’ve known about everything?”

“No,” Mu Sijue said, “She concealed her purpose very well now and Kang Ruicheng didn’t doubt her at all. If you suddenly tell her that I know the truth, it will only ruin her plan.”

Ah Jin already understood Mu Sijue even if he didn’t continue.

At this point, there was no hurry for Xu Youning to discover the truth. Mu Sijue just wanted to protect Xu Youning until she came back safely from Kang Ruicheng.

It would not be too late to tell her that he knew everything at that time.

Ah Jin gave Mu Sijue a thumbs-up in his heart and then asked, “Seventh Brother, is there anything else I can do?”

“No, not yet,” Mu Sijue said. He then added after a pause, “Help me take care of Xu Youning.”

“Don’t worry, Seventh Brother,” Ah Jin vowed, “Even if it’s just for your child, I will take good care of Ms. Xu!”

Having Ah Jin’s words, Mu Sijue felt much more relieved. He hung up the phone and found it was already dark outside.

He left the office building.

The driver had already parked the car at the door of the building. Seeing Mu Sijue coming out, he hurriedly came out of the car and opened the door for him, and asked, “Seventh Brother, where are we going?”

Before Mu Sijue could answer, his phone rang again.

It was Lu Boyan’s call this time.

“Xu Youning is fine. How about having dinner with me?” Lu Boyan said calmly. But there was a teasing quality in his tone.

It was Lu Boyan who stopped the doctors. Thus, he would, of course, receive the news ahead of Mu Sijue.

Therefore, Mu Sijue was not surprised that Lu Boyan knew Xu Youning was out of danger.

He also knew that Lu Boyan asked him over not just for a meal.

“Okay,” Mu Sijue answered, “I’ll be right there.”

He hung up the phone and asked the driver to go to Dingya Villas.

When they arrived, it was very dark. Lu Boyan’s house was ablaze with light. Beams of warm light came out from the specially designed windows, which made the house look particularly welcoming.

“The people inside the house were happy, weren’t they?”

When Lu Boyan married Su Jian’an, he had planned to divorce her two years later in case Kang Ruicheng posed any danger to her.

However, no one expected that Su Jian’an, like an addictive poppy, made Lu Boyan gradually fall in love with her and unable to extricate himself. Eventually, he completely gave up the idea of divorce and set out to create a family.

Mu Sijue once teased Lu Boyan—

“Why are you in such a hurry to step into the grave of love?”

“A single person like me can develop a relationship or split up with someone as he wishes. How free it feels!”

Mu Sijue at that time really couldn’t understand why others would find someone else to tie them down.

Why did they trap themselves in the small world that they built with their husbands or wives while the world outside was so big?

Now, Mu Sijue finally understood.

It was all because of love.

Only love could change a person.

How unbelievable was that?

He used to scorn the constraints brought by marriage, but now, he longed for that constraint as long as the person he married was Xu Youning.

The gardener of the Lu Family came out to water the flowers at this time. Seeing Mu Sijue, he hurriedly greeted him, saying, “Mr. Mu, you’ve come! Mr. Lu and Old Madam are waiting for you for dinner. Please come in.”

“Old Madam?”

“Had Tang Yulan been discharged from the hospital?”

Mu Sijue walked quickly to the living room and as expected, saw Tang Yulan sitting on the sofa, playing with Xiyu.

Tang Yulan soon saw Mu Sijue and a kind smile appeared on her mature face. “Sijue is here! Come, let’s eat,” she said.

“Auntie Tang, when did you leave the hospital?” Mu Sijue asked in surprise, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Tang Yulan waved her hand and said smilingly, “It’s not a big deal. You’ve been busy. No need to bother you. I’m very happy you can come to have dinner with me.”

But Mu Sijue thought Tang Yulan was hospitalised mainly because of him.

Since he failed to save her, he should at least pick her up when she left the hospital.

Tang Yulan seemed to be able to read Mu Sijue’s mind. She patted his hand with a smile and said, “Sijue, I don’t blame you for the kidnapping. Besides, if it weren’t for Youning, I might have died. To be honest, I should apologize to you. If it weren’t for me, Youning wouldn’t have taken the risk to go back to Kang Ruicheng.”

“Auntie Tang, it’s not like that,” Mu Sijue comforted Tang Yulan, “I will save Youning. Please take good care of yourself.”

“Alright, let’s make a deal,” Tang Yulan smiled, “I’ll rest and you bring Youning back. Neither of us are in the wrong.”

Mu Sijue nodded in agreement with Tang Yulan.

Su Jian’an came out of the kitchen with a pot of steaming soup and said, “Dinner is ready.”

Mu Sijue helped Tang Yulan to the dining room.

He and Xu Youning had passed the first crisis as the local Customs held the doctors invited by Kang Jintian. However, new challenges were still waiting for them in the future.

In the face of the unknown, he could only try his best to arrange for everything to be done well.

Only by maintaining the best condition could he successfully bring Xu Youning back.
