A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 437 - Mu Sijue, You Used Me

Chapter 437 Mu Sijue, You Used Me

After that episode, Xu Youning learned to keep a distance from Mu Sijue when she stayed with him alone, and she always incidentally forgot to close the door when she changed the dressing on his wound.

Mu Sijue saw through her idea but did not reveal it.

Anyway, she promised.

Five days later, Mu Sijue’s wound was basically healed.

“Seventh Brother, your regenerative ability is amazing.” Xu Youning sighed. His vitality was even as strong as a c.o.c.kroach’s.

Mu Sijue ignored Xu Youning. “From today on, you don’t have to stay with me. Just do your business.”

After speaking, he turned around and went straight out, then got into the car to go to the company.

Xu Youning watched his back and failed to respond.

Recently, she had been staying by Mu Sijue’s side. Someone in the company even teased them by saying they were conjoined twins. If they behaved more intimately, it was a public display of affection. She just had not gotten used to suddenly parting from him.

On the contrary, Mu Sijue felt very free and easy to leave her, and he turned around and went out without even looking back at her.

Whether Mu Sijue loved her or not could be revealed in the details.

However, before staying with Mu Sijue, she had clearly been living alone for almost a decade. Why would she fail to get used to being alone?

Or could someone easily break into your life like a bad habit?

Fortunately, Xu Youning had the characteristics of a workaholic. When she was busy, she would devote herself completely to work. The moment she arrived at the club, she was overwhelmed by a lot of work. She ran around all day long and had no time for a break, let alone to consider if Mu Sijue loved her.

When everything settled down in the evening, Xu Youning and Ah Guang came out of a bar. She received a call from Mu Sijue as soon as they breathed the air outside.

“Come to Number One Clubhouse.”

Mu Sijue’s order was concise and clear, and he allowed for no refusal. Before Xu Youning had time to ask what he wanted her to do, he had hung up.

Xu Youning could only silently swear at the phone and get into Ah Guang’s car. “Go to Number One Clubhouse.”

As soon as she stepped into the clubhouse, Xu Youning was sharp-witted enough to notice the unusual atmosphere.

The customers here were having fun, but every service staff member in the clubhouse seemed to be careful and thoughtful. When they saw Xu Youning, they all looked nervous, respectfully greeting her. “Sister Youning.”

Xu Youning touched the tip of her nose, casually grabbing a person and asking, “Is Seventh Brother here?”

“Yes,” the waiter looked carefully at Xu Youning, and said, “they are upstairs.”

“They?”

Xu Youning was confused. “Who else other than Mu Sijue?”

After entering the private room, Xu Youning finally understood the reason for the unusual atmosphere tonight. There were also Zhao Yinghong and several of his men inside.

It was known to all that a great man cannot brook a rival. Zhao Yinghong and Mu Sijue were two big shots in City G. On the surface, they lived in peace with each other, but actually, they would meet each other as little as possible.

But today, they were sitting in the same private room. Seemingly, they felt at ease with each other, but everyone knew that it was a fiery peace.

Mu Sijue sat on a love seat, with his long legs crossed. He posed casually, with undoubtedly-regal dignity nonetheless.

Seeing Xu Youning, the chill around him suddenly disappeared without a trace. He beckoned Xu Youning over. “Come here.”

From Xu Youning’s point of view, Mu Sijue was just beckoning a pet, but in the eyes of others, Mu Sijue’s movements and eyes were all revealing that he spoiled Xu Youning and was possessive of her.

In the presence of so many people, especially Zhao Yinghong, who was a deadly foe of Mu Sijue, Xu Youning could not disobey Mu Sijue, so she smiled and walked to lean close to Mu Sijue, lowering her voice and asking, “What the h.e.l.l? Do you still need the display of affection?”

“Of course.” Mu Sijue considerately handed Xu Youning a gla.s.s of freshly squeezed orange juice. “I’m going to get revenge for you.”

Xu Youning subconsciously looked around the whole room and saw Zhao Yinghong sitting beside Tian Zhen, who had cut her hand with a broken bottle before.

Tian Zhen was Zhao Yinghong’s man. The day after Mu Sijue just returned from Mexico, Zhao Yinghong had maliciously pried into Mu Sijue’s wound and promised to teach Tian Zhen a lesson at the Mu family’s old house.

Of course, he could not really lay a finger on Tian Zhen. If he obeyed Mu Sijue, he could not go on being their boss.

However, since he had chosen to eat his words, why did he appear with Tian Zhen before Mu Sijue in Number One Clubhouse?

“Sijue, I’ll say it again. I’m senior to you, so you should not do it without my permission.” Zhao Yinghong stared at Mu Sijue angrily and resentfully, and he was seemingly aggressive but actually helpless.

“You can consider yourself my elder only when I respect you.” Mu Sijue said with a sneer, “Otherwise, Uncle Zhao, aren’t you insulting yourself?”

The implication was that if you thought highly of yourself when no one looked up to you, be careful not to die from your arrogance.

“Mu Sijue, you are too arrogant!” Zhao Yinghong slammed the wine gla.s.s on the table. “While your grandpa was still alive, he also had to save the face of the Zhao family! Now do you want to trigger a conflict between the two families just for a woman?”

“Uncle Zhao, are you afraid?” Mu Sijue took Xu Youning into his arms. “You can only blame your man for daring to hurt her. He can hurt anyone, except her.”

“I have apologized to Miss Xu. Why are you…?”

“I never said that I accepted your apology.” Mu Sijue interrupted Zhao Yinghong and calmly looked at Xu Youning. “What about you?”

As Xu Youning had followed Mu Sijue for so long, a tacit understanding had been developed between them. She said with a smile, “Of course neither do I.”

After speaking, she got close to Mu Sijue and whispered in his ears. On the face of it, she was showing her deep affection for him, but she was actually asking him, “What do you want Tian Zhen to do? I find that Zhao Yinghong looks so angry.”

“It’s no big deal.” Mu Sijue said in an understated manner, “He left a cut on your hand. I’m going to cut off his hand. Do you think I ask too much of him?”

Xu Youning smiled stiffly. “Not at all.”

“You’re just… a little bit cruel.”

“I can’t accept your condition!” Zhao Yinghong was not a coward, and he abruptly stood up and was about to go.

They all knew that his leaving would destroy the seemingly peaceful relations.h.i.+p between the Zhao family and the Mu family, and from then on, they would be as incompatible as fire and water.

Unexpectedly, he did not scare Mu Sijue at all. Mu Sijue even gave Ah Guang a nod to see Zhao Yinghong off, and also gave a kind warning. “Uncle Zhao, pay attention to your site in the east of the city these days.”

“I’ll wait and see!” Zhao Yinghong could not yield to a young man, and he said with a snort, “Your grandpa failed to destroy me. I don’t believe that you can do it!”

“You will find out the answer soon.”

Mu Sijue smiled indifferently, and Zhao Yinghong found it impossible to carry on the negotiation with him. Swinging his arms, he left the room.

There were just Xu Youning and Mu Sijue alone in the private room now.

In the eyes of others, the relations.h.i.+p between Mu Sijue and Zhao Yinghong broke down totally because of Xu Youning.

Xu Youning did not feel flattered at all. On the contrary, she was extraordinarily calm. “Mu Sijue, you used me.”

Mu Sijue raised his eyebrows. “Are you unhappy?”

A bitter feeling arose in Xu Youning’s heart, and she could neither laugh nor cry.

Mu Sijue was furious because of a woman, without hesitating to bring the conflict, which was undisclosed for many years, between the Mu family and the Zhao family to the table. If the news was made public, how honorable she would be!

But only she knew that Mu Sijue just used her.

To be frank, Mu Sijue did not intend to get revenge for her cut. He had been eager to cause trouble to Zhao Yinghong for a long time. It just so happened that Zhao Yinghong had disobeyed him. The excuse was open and aboveboard, and he could finally open fire.

The care and pampering that Mu Sijue had given her was nothing but illusions. No matter what he did to her, he had his own purpose. He calculated that she would cooperate with him and that Zhao Yinghong would protect Tian Zhen.

Everything was in the control of Mu Sijue.

Xu Youning said with a smile, “Yeah, I’m happy. I’m still useful. How dare I not be happy?”

She would clearly show what she was thinking by her expressions, and rarely showed such a hypocritical expression on her face—happy but with a very stiff smile and empty eyes. No one would think that she was happy now.

Mu Sijue abruptly pulled her into his arms with a grim look. “Yes, you should be happy.”

Indeed, she should be pleased that he wanted to use her instead of directly killing her.

“How will you deal with Zhao Yinghong?” Xu Youning asked.

Mu Sijue stared at Xu Youning like a wolf, and then said with an increasingly unfathomable look, “It’s not what you should care about now.”

After speaking, he sealed Xu Youning’s lips with a kiss.

Before Xu Youning struggled, Mu Sijue had deftly held her tightly, wildly pried open her clenched teach, and wantonly explored her body.

Afraid to knock into his wound, she did not dare to push him away, so she had to resolutely bite his lips. But unexpectedly, he just paused for half a second and gave her a deeper kiss.

The kiss was awash with the smell of blood.

Gradually, Xu Youning had no power to resist, feebly lying on the sofa, and Mu Sijue was no longer content with simple kisses.

When Xu Youning closed her eyes and was about to give in, the door of the private room was suddenly opened, which allowed the light of the corridor in, illuminating the person who stood in the doorway. It was Yang Shanshan.

Xu Youning gasped and was about to push Mu Sijue away, when the latter blocked Yang Shanshan’s view of Xu Youning and looked at Yang Shanshan unhappily. “Why not knock on the door?”

Yang Shanshan was stunned and came to her senses after a while. “If I had knocked on the door, how could I see such a wonderful scene? Private secretary? On-call 24 hours a day? With your body?!”

After speaking, Yang Shanshan rushed into the private room. Mu Sijue frowned, stood up, and pulled Yang Shanshan out.

Yang Shanshan almost collapsed. “What is your relations.h.i.+p with her? Who the h.e.l.l is she?!”

“Seventh Brother, what’s wrong?” Ah Guang returned and saw Yang Shanshan and Mu Sijue standing in the corridor, and asked in confusion, “Where is Sister Youning?”

“Sister Youning?” Yang Shanshan understood instantly. “Is the woman inside Xu Youning!”

Mu Sijue pushed Yang Shanshan to Ah Guang. “Send her home.”

“Let me go!” Yang Shanshan struggled violently. “I must go inside to find her!”

“Stop it!”

Mu Sijue roared in a low voice, and then it was instantly quiet in the whole corridor. Yang Shanshan stared at Mu Sijue in surprise. “Are you yelling at me because of her?”

Mu Sijue gave Ah Guang a hint, and the latter understood, then pulled Yang Shanshan away.
