A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 869 - Boss Mu, Please Act as Usual

Chapter 869 Boss Mu, Please Act as Usual

At the end of the dream, Xu Youning felt a tearing pain, as if someone was cutting her into pieces with a knife.

“Mu Sijue!”

She suddenly woke up in cold sweat, calling Mu Sijue’s name.

Mu Sijue was a light sleeper. Hearing Xu Youning’s voice, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at her—

Xu Youning was gasping, with her hand grabbing his clothes tightly. She was just like a person who accidentally fell off the cliff and grasped the tree growing on the cliff edge. Her doe-liked eyes were full of horror and looked particularly empty.

Mu Sijue turned on the bedside lamp and held Xu Youning’s hand. “What’s wrong?” He asked.

After a long while, Xu Youning finally managed to make a sound. “I had a nightmare…”

Mu Sijue frowned and asked, “What did you dream of?”

Xu Youning hesitated for a moment and shook her head. “I can’t remember clearly…”

Mu Sijue stopped asking. He turned over and held Xu Youning in his arms. “It’s okay. It’s just a dream. Hit the sack.”

He held her tightly, making her unable to wiggle out of his embrace. However, this gave her an indescribable sense of security.

For the first time, Xu Youning didn’t struggle. She leaned against Mu Sijue and closed her eyes, but she could not fall asleep at all.

She remembered every detail of the dream, but she didn’t want to tell Mu Sijue for fear that he wouldn’t bear the same fear.

However, it was said by the older generation that dreams were often the opposite of reality.

That was to say, the terrible things in her dream would never happen in real life. As Mu Sijue said, it was just a dream.

Comforting herself in this way, Xu Youning finally felt a little relieved, and her breathing gradually became steady. After a while, she fell into a deep sleep.

Day broke soon.

Xu Youning had slept for a long time this morning. When she opened her eyes, she found the suns.h.i.+ne had already strewed the carpet in front of the French window.

According to her experience, it was at least 10 o’clock.

She turned over and saw Mu Sijue sitting on the sofa and staring at the laptop on his lap.

“Gee—”

Xu Youning gasped in surprise.

Hearing that, Mu Sijue looked up at her and asked, “Awake?”

Xu Youning pulled the quilt to cover herself and looked at Mu Sijue in confusion. “Why are you still at home?” she asked.

Mu Sijue put down his computer, got up, and walked straight to the bed. “I’m waiting for you,” he responded.

Xu Youning’s eyes lit up. She asked with her voice full of undisguised expectation, “Are you going to take me out?”

She had gotten bored with staying on the top of the mountain, so she wanted to take a stroll for a long time.

Mu Sijue smiled and broke Xu Youning’s fantasy with four words. “You think too much.”

Xu Youning put away her smile in disappointment. She uncovered the quilt and got out of bed, asking angrily, “Then why are you waiting for me?”

“I’m wondering why did you have a nightmare last night,” said Mu Sijue.

Xu Youning was stunned. “Mu Sijue is still at home now just because of my nightmare?”

“Oh my G.o.d, it’s too abnormal.”

Xu Youning turned around and looked at Mu Sijue. After thinking for a while, she was still in puzzlement. She said, “It’s hard to explain why I had the nightmare. Everyone has nightmares. Generally, there’s no complicated reason, so you don’t have to worry too much. Anyway, I’m fine now. Haven’t you had nightmares?”

Mu Sijue said coldly, “I usually appear in others’ nightmares.”

Xu Youning felt as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat. She responded stiffly, “Don’t worry, I didn’t have the nightmare because of you. I can’t even remember what I dreamed of, not to mention the fear.”

Mu Sijue scrutinized Xu Youning — she didn’t seem to be afraid anymore, and she was as relaxed as usual as if the person who grabbed his clothes last night were not her.

So he stopped talking about the nightmare and said, “I won’t come back tonight.”

Xu Youning asked subconsciously, “Where are you going?”

Mu Sijue looked at her without saying anything.

Only then did Xu Youning realize that there was something that Mu Sijue couldn’t tell her and she’d better not know.

She said, “Okay, I got it. You can go.”

“If you are afraid at night, you can go to Jian’an,” Mu Sijue said. “Boyan will not come back, either.”

Xu Youning thought for a while, but she still couldn’t understand Mu Sijue. She looked at him blankly and asked, “Why will I be afraid?”

Mu Sijue’s expression suddenly became a little unnatural. “Anyway, remember what I said.”

“Sure,” Xu Youning responded casually, “I’ll keep it in mind.”

Just then, Mu Sijue’s phone rang. Rather than picking it up, he hung up the phone, and said, “I gotta go.”

Xu Youning wanted to pretend not to care about him, but she couldn’t help saying, “Mu Sijue… be careful.”

After all, she was still worried about him.

Mu Sijue glanced at her gently and said, “I will. Wait for me.”

Xu Youning nodded as if she was bewitched. Not until Mu Sijue left the room did she walk into the bathroom.

When she finished the morning wash and went downstairs, she saw Aunt Zhou standing in the living room, frowning and looking out.

“Aunt Zhou,” Xu Youning asked, “what’s wrong?”

Aunt Zhou sighed and answered, “Earlier this morning, I called Little Seven to have breakfast, but he said he wanted to wait for you. Now you finally woke up, but he left in a hurry. He didn’t have time to eat even a little porridge. If he always skips breakfast, he will get stomach ailments.”

Xu Youning suppressed her worry and comforted Aunt Zhou, “He will eat on the way. Don’t worry about him.”

Aunt Zhou nodded, and she suddenly thought of something, asking, “Tomorrow is Mumu’s birthday, right?”

“Yes,” Xu Youning nodded and said, “Jian’an and I are going to hold a party for him. But he doesn’t know anything—we want to give him a surprise.”

“Well, it’s good to leave him a happy memory in the last few days here.” Aunt Zhou thought for a moment and added, “I will go to the market tomorrow and prepare more delicious food.”

After coming here, Aunt Zhou would go to the market in the city in person every few days to buy some vegetables and meat.

In her opinion, although the organic vegetables provided by the club were good, she still preferred to pick and cook all by herself. In this way, the dishes would be tastier.

Xu Youning was accustomed to Aunt Zhou’s habits. She nodded and said, “I’ll ask the driver to take you there tomorrow.”

After breakfast, Xu Youning went to find Su Jian’an and happened to run into Luo Xiaoxi at the door.

Luo Xiaoxi waved her hand to greet Xu Youning, calling her “Mrs. Mu”.

Xu Youning was stunned, and she stammered, “Xiaoxi, how… how did you… know?”

She just accepted Mu Sijue’s proposal yesterday and was called Mrs. Mu today.

This feeling was a little strange, but more than that, it was happiness.

Luo Xiaoxi said smilingly, “As long as your Boss Mu is happy, he can let everyone know that you’re going to marry him!”

Xu Youning was suddenly curious. When did Mu Sijue become so sw.a.n.ky?

Luo Xiaoxi held Xu Youning’s hand and said, “Okay, Mrs. Mu, let’s get in.”

Su Jian’an had just fed the two little guys milk. When she saw Xu Youning and Luo Xiaoxi coming in, she smiled and said, “Your timing is just right.”

For the rest of the day, the three of them worked hard at planning Yunyun and Yuechuan’s wedding.

After dinner, Su Jian’an said, “Youning, find an excuse to send Mumu to Yunyun tomorrow. She will take him back in the evening, and then we can begin his birthday party. I have already told Yunyun the schedule. What you need to do is keeping it secret from Mumu.”

Xu Youning responded, “Mumu likes Yunyun very much. He will be very willing to stay with her for a day. So I don’t need any excuse.”

“It’s better.” Su Jian’an turned off the computer and said, “Okay, that’s all for today. You can go home and rest early.”

After Xu Youning and Luo Xiaoxi left, Su Jian’an and Aunt Liu bathed the two little guys, changed their clothes, and fed them milk. Soon, the babies fell asleep.

Aunt Liu looked at the time and asked, “It’s past eight o’clock, Mrs. Why hasn’t Mr. Lu come back yet?” Ever since he got married to Su Jian’an, Lu Boyan rarely came home after seven o’clock.

“He has something to do and won’t come back tonight.” Su Jian’an said, “We can go to bed early.”

As soon as Su Jian’an finished talking, her cell phone rang.

Aunt Liu said with a smile, “It must be Mr. Lu.”

However, beyond expectation, she did not speak out “honey” immediately as before. It was a strange number. Su Jian’an went out with the phone and then picked it up.

“h.e.l.lo?” she did not say anything else and waited for the person to speak.

“Jian’an, it’s me.”

A familiar male voice came from the phone. It was a dangerous yet low magnetic voice.

Su Jian’an was astonished. She looked at her phone several times and still found it unbelievable. “…Sijue?”

Mu Sijue replied with a “yes” and then said in a hesitant tone, “Jian’an, can you do me a favor?”

“Yes, as long as I can. What do you need me to do?”

Su Jian’an pinched herself to confirm that it was not a dream. Mu Sijue was actually asking her for help!

“I want you to see Youning.”

Mu Sijue didn’t continue, but Su Jian’an knew his intention. She asked, “Are you worried about her?”

“A little bit,” said Mu Sijue.

“Why?” Su Jian’an was a little surprised. “Youning has promised to marry you. What are you anxious about?”

Su Jian’an thought Mu Sijue was afraid that Xu Youning would run away.

She naively reckoned that it must be because Mu Sijue lacked a sense of security.

However, what Mu Sijue said next made her suspect that he didn’t act as usual this morning..
