Chapter 424 I’m in Charge of You And All about You

“Hungry dogs will eat dirty puddings…” She thought.

Xu Youning realized that she shouldn’t have said that; Mu Sijue wanted to pay her back!

“Well, I’ll cook! Anyway, I’m bad at cooking!” She thought.

…

In the afternoon, when Mu Sijue was sleeping, Xu Youning walked gingerly to the beside cupboard and wanted to take out her cellphone to contact Kang Ruicheng.

Mu Sijue wanted to sink Kang Ruicheng’s goods; she had to inform him of it.

Due to her false information, Kang Ruicheng lost the chance to cooperate with the Mexicans. If Kang Ruicheng sustained another loss that night, he would make her life hard in the ensuing days.

She opened the drawer; before she could find her cellphone, Xu Youning’s hand was grabbed.

From the familiar strength and touch, Xu Youning could tell it was Mu Sijue without looking. She turned and saw Mu Sijue deeply staring at her. He asked, “What are you looking for?”

Xu Youning felt nervous, but then she thought, “It’s my cellphone, why do I need to be guilty!?”

Miss Xu stroked her hair with confidence and said, “I’m looking for my own cellphone!” She stressed the two words “my own” deliberately.

Mu Sijue gave her a look that was saying “I see”, then he indifferently locked the drawer and threw the key out of the window.

Xu Youning widened her eyes and came to herself after a long while. She angrily said, “Mu Sijue, why do you lock my phone in it!?”

“I’m in charge of you, as well as your belongings.” Mu Sijue didn’t think it inappropriate at all and asked as if nothing had happened. “What’s wrong? Don’t you think so?”

“Nonsense! I need my cellphone!” Xu Youning was nearly driven crazy. “Don’t you know that people today can’t live without a cellphone!?”

Mu Sijue threw his cellphone to Xu Youning and said, “There is no pa.s.sword. You can use it as you wish.”

“…” Xu Youning was stunned.

She thought, “Are you kidding me? How dare I call Kang Ruicheng with your cellphone?”

Seeing Mu Sijue’s look as if he had shown great kindness to her, Xu Youning forced a smile and asked, “Seventh Brother, do I need to say thanks to you?”

“Yes.” Mu Sijue pretended to be serious and said, “As you said, my cellphone is much better than yours.”

The implied meaning of his words was that he was offering Xu Youning a better experience, so she had to thank him.

“…”

Xu Youning clenched her teeth, taking a slow breath to ease her anger inside and managed to choke down the urge to hit Mu Sijue with the cellphone.

“Flying all the way from City G to see Mu Sijue was totally wrong!” Xu Youning thought.

“Mu Sijue’s injury is none of my business. It’s him, not me that has been injured. Why do I worry about him?”

From what she knew from Mu Sijue, as long as he was alive, he would torment her in thousands of ways which could make her want to die. “Why did I ask for it!?”

Xu Youning turned her back to Mu Sijue and said, “I’ll go back to City G tomorrow!”

“Xu Youning, who do you think I am? Do you think you can come or leave here as you wish?” Mu Sijue warned her.

Xu Youning wasn’t that easy to surrender. She shouted with disdain, “I have my personal freedom. I can go anywhere I want. It’s none of your business!”

Mu Sijue didn’t get mad but smiled. “Try it.”

“I’m not afraid of you! I’ll do as I like!”

With that, Xu Youning stood up to rush out of the ward. At the very moment, Mu Sijue picked up the bedside phone on the wall and called Jie who was guarding outside.

Xu Youning pa.s.sed the parlor aggressively and pushed open the door of the ward. Two guys immediately stopped her and said, “Miss Xu, Seventh Brother said you are not allowed to leave for the moment.”

“Whatever he said!” Xu Youning’s words were full of rage. With that, she began to fight with those guys.

Although she was a Korean boxing master, those guys were good at combat; besides, they were experienced because they had lived through a welter of blood and bullets. Being no match for them, she was caught soon.

The two young men awkwardly said, “Miss Xu, you’d better stay here. Seventh Brother… You know him better than us.”

“Is he the only one who can lose his temper in this world!?”

Xu Youning struggled; the two didn’t want to hurt her and lightly held her arms, but they split the injury in her right hand by accident. She frowned; before she cried out, the blood had flowed out.

Jie asked the two guys to stop and sent Xu Youning back into the ward. “Seventh Brother, Miss Xu is here.”

Mu Sijue wasn’t surprised at all that Xu Youning was there again. He laid down the gla.s.s, glancing her at leisure and saw the blood on her hand at once. He suddenly said in a cold voice, “What happened?”

Jie felt nervous and said, “They fought with Miss Xu. Her hand hasn’t healed yet. They didn’t mean to hurt her… I’ll call the doctor right now!”

Before Jie leaving, Mu Sijue tore down the bedside phone and called the doctor’s office. Jie became more nervous and said, “Seventh Brother…”

Mu Sijue gave him a cold glance and said, “Go away! Do you forget the rules?”

Jie clenched his teeth and said, “I see!”

He walked out of the ward and pointed at the two guys who had hurt Xu Youning. “Go downstairs and run 10 kilometers.”

Jason was shocked; he asked, “Are you serious? Who’s Miss Xu? Why does Seventh Brother punish us for her!?”

“Did you hurt your brain when playing online games?” Jie glanced Jason with disdain and said, “Not only was Miss Xu told about Seventh Brother’s injury in no time, but also did she come here from China. Who do you think she is?”

Jason got his point at once, blaming himself for not being sagacious, then he went downstairs to run laps.

In the ward, there seemed to be a kind of awkward atmosphere.

Xu Youning stood there, feeling angry; Mu Sijue coldly stared at her and said, “Come here!”

Without looking at Mu Sijue, Xu Youning slowly stepped to the sickbed. All of a sudden, he gently held her right hand and pressed the wound to stop it from bleeding.

All her angry broke into pieces; she surprisingly looked at Mu Sijue’s charming fingers, unable to hold back her unique feelings for him.

She had been injured many times; most of the time, she had dressed the wounds herself; even when she was seriously injured, she had always been alone in the ward to recover.

No one had ever pressed her wound to stop her from bleeding.

However, when Mu Sijue did that way, she felt that… she didn’t deserve it.

Xu Youning’s sense of reason told her that she should withdraw her hand.

While her sensibility asked her to continue enjoying the way he cared about her, even if it was just her wishful illusion.

She obeyed her inner desire.

Half a minute later, the Spanish-speaking doctor and nurse went into the ward and asked Xu Youning to sit on the sofa.

Xu Youning subconsciously looked at Mu Sijue and found that he had let go of her hand. With the usual cold look on his face, he said, “Did you hear what the doctor said? Sit on the sofa!”

The skillful doctor bandaged Xu Youning’s wound within minutes, then he asked her not to get wet and left the ward.

Xu Youning watched them leaving and thought, “Maybe… I can go with the doctor.”

Thinking of the young men outside who were strong and combative, Xu Youning gave up that idea.

“It’s not safe outside,” Mu Sijue suddenly said; he seemed to have seen through Xu Youning. “Don’t go anywhere.”

After being in a daze for a while, Xu Youning asked, “Do you mean that… there are Kang Ruicheng’s men outside?” With that, she proudly gave him a smile. “Mu Sijue, you’re worrying about me.”

Mu Sijue sneered and said, “You’d better not cause me any trouble. If you are caught by his men…”

“Will you rescue me?” Xu Youning interrupted Mu Sijue, while her beautiful eyes were full of expectations.

“…”

“…”

“What do you think?”

Mu Sijue didn’t say he wouldn’t rescue her. However, from his disdain, Xu Youning could see that he was laughing at her for her wishful thinking and that she had overrated herself.

All of a sudden, Xu Youning felt like her heart was being soaked into the freezing water, then it got colder and colder.

She tried to behave in an elegant, chic way and said, “I’ll stay here, and they can’t catch me!”

Mu Sijue was silent; he ignored Xu Youning and began to deal with some emergency affairs on the computer.

Xu Youning cleared away all her disappointments and lay down on the sofa.

Without using a cellphone or going out, she couldn’t get in touch with Kang Ruicheng to tell him that his goods would be in trouble.

However, she wasn’t worried at all; instead, she felt more than relaxed.

In that case, even if Kang Ruicheng questioned her about it one day, she would have sufficient reasons to justify herself.

She had turned a blind eye to most of Kang Ruicheng’s businesses; however, she had always frowned upon his narcotics business.

She knew well how those would harm a person. She thought, “It’s a good idea to sink them into the sea, then fewer people will be harmed.”

By the way, she respected Mu Sijue because he had never set foot in the narcotics business.

Mu Sijue, a stubborn, domineering and callous man who would end a person’s life as he liked, had never set foot in that business, even if he had many convenient channels and it could profit him a lot.

“Mu Sijue, have you seen The Ghost?” Xu Youning suddenly asked.

Mu Sijue didn’t look away from his computer screen and asked, “What’s that?”

“A romantic film.” Xu Youning said, “It says that a kind person like the hero in it will go to Heaven after death, while a bad guy will be dragged into h.e.l.l by devils.”

Mu Sijue disapprovingly smiled and said, “Do you mean that I’ll go to h.e.l.l after I die?”

“No, just the opposite.” Xu Youning smirked as she looked at the ceiling. “I think you can go to Heaven.”

“…”

Xu Youning continued saying, “You are not so upright, but you are not a bad guy, because you have never committed heinous crimes. When one of Ah Guang’s men’s mother was sick, you gave him money and helped cure her. You’re indeed a kind man, and the angels will take you to Heaven.”

Beyond her expectation, Mu Sijue was listening. After she finished her words, he asked with interest, “How about you?”

Xu Youning’s beautiful eyes dimmed at once.

She thought, “As for me? I’ve been working for Kang Ruicheng, but I’ve never thought if I’m doing wrong or right. Maybe I’ll be dragged into h.e.l.l by devils, right?”

“Whatever, that will only happen after I die. Now that I’m alive, I’d like to have a fantasy.”

Xu Youning solemnly said, “I will hold your legs and go to Heaven with you. Seventh Brother, I wish you won’t kick me away.”

Then Xu Youning kept speaking, and Mu Sijue listened while working. Afterwards he didn’t hear clearly what she was saying and occasionally replied “oh”.

Xu Youning didn’t care whether Mu Sijue was bored or interested; she just kept talking.

After a while, the ward sank into quietness. Mu Sijue looked toward the sofa—with a pillow in her arms, Xu Youning had huddled herself up and fallen asleep.

He took a blanket and got out of bed, then he lifted his arms to place the blanket on Xu Youning.

Xu Youning held the blanket, then she turned over and slept deeper.
