Chapter 589 Life Is So Tough

Kang Ruicheng closed the window, lit a cigarette and placed it in his mouth. After a while, he said, “It would be abnormal if she didn’t care about Su Jian’an.”

After interacting for so many years, Kang Ruicheng knew her all too well.

Xu Youning had been trained to be as swift and strong as a demon. When she really made a move, she was fast and accurate.

However, Xu Youning was never heartless.

She had clearly seen countless bloody and dark scenes, but she still couldn’t let go of her family and friends.

So, as strong as she was, she almost collapsed when her only family member passed away. Similarly, she would never hurt Su Jian’an, because she had always regarded Su Jian’an as her friend.

However, once she hated someone, Xu Youning would turn into another person.

Once facing the one she hated, Xu Youning’s blood would instantly grow cold. She would take revenge at all costs. Just like in the past, in order to bring justice to her parents, she didn’t hesitate to accept the cruel training that went beyond her limit.

Xu Youning had two kinds of completely different personalities. She could be either extremely gentle or extremely cruel. What she looked like depended on what you meant to her.

This was also the reason why Kang Ruicheng tried his best to make Xu Youning hate Mu Sijue.

Kang Ruicheng knew very well that she would only sever the love she had for Mu Sijue if she regarded him as an enemy. That way she would willingly return and help him deal with Mu Sijue.

It seemed that everything was under his control after that.

Thinking of this, Kang Ruicheng took out the cigarette of his mouth and smiled.

He liked the feeling of having complete control.

The driver didn’t quite understand Kang Ruicheng’s logic, but he didn’t dare to ask, so he changed his question, “Brother Cheng, shall we go back?”

Kang Ruicheng replied with a “Yeah” in a low voice. The black Land Rover’s engine was started once again; they drove toward the old area of City A.

At this time, Xu Youning was on her way back, walking along the sidewalk.

Going to see Su Jian’an was an excuse. She just wanted to get off the car and take a fresh breath.

She had lurked around Kang Ruicheng during this time, carefully keeping herself in the dark. She had been nervous 24 hours of a day, and she was already on the verge of collapse.

What made her feel desperate was that she didn’t know when such days would end.

She didn’t know when she could tell Mu Sijue the truth.

It didn’t take long for Xu Youning to arrive at the hospital’s gate.

She hesitated for a long time, not daring to enter.

As Kang Ruicheng said, Su Jian’an would never have any accidents as long as Lu Boyan was with her; she could only secretly have a look at Su Jian’an when she went in.

This way… It seemed that it would only make her feel even more upset.

Come to think of it, Su Jian’an was waiting for the delivery at the hospital. If she remembered correctly, she was almost due.

Su Jian’an’s pregnancy was a big deal for Lu Boyan and his friends.

“Would Mu Sijue come to City A?”

However, what could she do if he did? Nothing would change, and she still couldn’t tell Mu Sijue the truth.

Seeing Mu Sijue would only make her feel more distressed.

Thinking of this, Xu Youning stopped a taxi and got in.

“Miss, where are we going?” The driver looked back at Xu Youning and asked.

Xu Youning thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go downtown. Any place in that area will do…”

She had just discovered that City A was quite big, but there was no place for her once she left Kang Ruicheng’s territory. If she didn’t want to be alone, she could only mingle in the crowd at the center of the city.

In the same city, just like Xu Youning, Shen Yuechuan was also unhappy.

Su Jian’an was about to give birth to her baby, which meant that Lu Boyan didn’t have much time for work.

In other words, Shen Yuechuan needed to work as the acting president while under the name of Special Assistant. He would be much busier than he had ever been before.

Being busy was also good for Shen Yuechuan. At least, he wouldn’t have much time to miss Xiao Yunyun. When he returned home, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down. He didn’t have extra energy to experience the feeling of being disappointed in love.

The bad thing was that he had to be careful when he went to the hospital in the future. In case that the Director spilled the beans one day, he would have to cope with Lu Boyan’s interrogation.

Life was indeed tough.

On Monday, when it was time to get off work, Lu Boyan handed over the rest of the work to Shen Yuechuan, saying that he was going to the hospital.

Shen Yuechuan had long been mentally prepared, so he was calm. “Okay,” he said, “I’ll go there later.”

Lu Boyan frowned, as if he were asking Shen Yuechuan what Su Jian’an had to do with him.

Shen Yuechuan shrugged and seemed to take it for granted. “You know, Jian’an is my cousin. She’s at the hospital waiting for the delivery, so I should pay her a visit. I don’t have time during the day, so I can only go there at night.”

Lu Boyan pondered for a moment. Without saying anything, he took a step and was about to leave.

Shen Yuechuan noticed that there was something wrong with Lu Boyan’s look and suddenly realized something. He stopped Lu Boyan and said, “Wait a minute!”

Lu Boyan turned around and looked at Shen Yuechuan expressionlessly. “Is there anything else?”

“It’s about our family.” Shen Yuechuan wore a happy smile on his handsome face. “Jian’an is my cousin, so you are my cousin-in-law. What about calling me cousin from here on?”

“Get out of here!”

Lu Boyan directly ignored Shen Yuechuan and walked towards the special elevator.

The elevator descended slowly and stopped on the first floor. Lu Boyan walked out of the company. The driver had already driven the car over; he asked him, “Boss Lu, are we going to the hospital?”

“Yes.”

On the way, Lu Boyan used his laptop to deal with a few emails, and soon he arrived at the hospital.

Two days ago, when Su Jian’an went to the hospital to wait for the delivery, he had also packed up his things and taken the hospital as his home.

He had promised Su Jian’an that he would not let her stay in the hospital alone.

In the hospital, the independent Gynecology and Obstetrics building stood under the sunset, beautiful and magnificent. Lu Boyan went straight in and took the elevator to the top floor.

Pushing open the door of the suite, Lu Boyan found Xiao Yunyun sitting on the sofa in the living room and peeling some fruits. He was surprised; Xiao Yunyun immediately noticed him and waved the fruit knife at him. “Cousin-in-law!”

Lu Boyan suppressed the surprise on his face and entered the suite. He asked Xiao Yunyun, “Are you off work?”

“Yes!” The smile on Xiao Yunyun’s face was particularly brilliant. “I don’t have to work overtime today. So I’m here now.”

Lu Boyan took off his suit jacket and left it on the hanger in the room. He washed his hands and tentatively asked Xiao Yunyun, “Have you prepared for the postgraduate entrance exam?”

“I’m getting ready.” Xiao Yunyun shrugged her shoulders lightly. “In fact, I am sure I can pass the exam! But I don’t want to fight without preparing, so I have been studying.”

After that, Xiao Yunyun finished the peeling. She neatly cut the apple into four pieces and removed the seeds. She handed them to Lu Boyan. “Cousin-in-law, how about eating some?”

Lu Boyan looked at the apple, and there was no trace of the cuts made by the knife. He smiled and said, “You’re good at cutting.”

“I’m a cardiac surgeon. I can even cut a person’s heart with a knife, let alone an apple!” Xiao Yunyun chuckled. There seemed to be sunlight in her bright smile. “Oh, I forgot. This is for my cousin!”

“Let me take them.” Lu Boyan picked up the small fruit plate on the tea table and placed the apple pieces on it. Then, he took it into the room.

Su Jian’an was leaning against the bed while she watched a movie. When she saw Lu Boyan coming in, she put down the tablet computer and said, “I’ve been hearing you talk with Yunyun. What did you say?”

“What we said is not the point.” Lu Boyan put down the fruit plate. “Yuechuan will arrive later.”

Su Jian’an was stunned for a moment and then she reacted. She widened her eyes and asked, “What should we do?”

Lu Boyan said, “You can’t stop Yuechuan from coming here, and you can’t tell Yunyun to leave in advance, either. It seems too deliberate.”

“So, do you want them to meet?” Su Jian’an lowered her voice and looked out of the door with concern. “Yunyun has been in a good state these days. I don’t want her mood to be affected.”

“But she still has to stay in City A for some time. It’s impossible for her to stay away from Yuechuan,” Lu Boyan said, “We don’t have to intervene. If they really meet, they can handle it.”

“That’s the only way.” Su Jian’an sat up and put a piece of apple in her mouth with a small fork. She frowned and said without warning, “I want to eat cherries.”

After the pregnancy, Su Jian’an’s taste was as unpredictable as the weather in June. Lu Boyan had long gotten used to it. He rolled up his sleeves and said, “There are some cherries outside. I’ll wash some for you.”

Lu Boyan washed the cherries and went back to the room. Just then, the hospital’s restaurant brought dinner, including four dishes, one soup of vegetables and meat. It was enough for three people to eat.

Su Jian’an didn’t have a good appetite. After eating a bit, she put down the bowl and chopsticks and slowly drank the soup.

Not long after, Xiao Yunyun also said that she was full. She offered to wash the dishes, then she picked up the bag and said, “I’ll be going now.”

Su Jian’an asked, “Aren’t you going to stay for a little longer?”

“I want to, but my principle is not to be a third wheel! I’m leaving.”

After that, Xiao Yunyun ran out of the suite like a gust of wind, and the elevator happened to stop on that very floor. She rushed in and pressed the button of the first floor.

In fact, it was still early. She could only study if she left for home now. She didn’t have the motivation to study that day. “How about going to the supermarket to buy something to eat?”

Before Xiao Yunyun could come up with an answer, there was a “Ding—”, and the elevator door slowly opened.

Xiao Yunyun was about to step out when a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

The man was tall and handsome, with a casual and elegant style even in the formal business suit. Although he always looked like a frivolous person, he could still attract a group of girls and make people feel that he was reliable. Who else could be such a kind of person except for Shen Yuechuan?

Xiao Yunyun was stunned. She looked at Shen Yuechuan in a daze, completely forgetting to get out of the elevator.

It wasn’t until the elevator door automatically and slowly closed that Xiao Yunyun suddenly reacted and hurriedly said “Ah”, as she was about to use her hand to stop the elevator door.

“So stupid!” Shen Yuechuan pressed the button to open the elevator outside the door. After the door was opened, he directly dragged Xiao Yunyun out and looked at her with a frown. “Don’t you know that it’s dangerous to stop the elevator door with your hands?”
