Chapter 495 Wait a Minute, Let Me See if It’s Love

Xiao Yunyun buried her face against Shen Yuechuan’s chest. She could clearly feel her heart pounding.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Her heart raced, and each beat was able to reveal her anxiety.

Fortunately, Shen Yuechuan could not hear them.

Xiao Yunyun closed her eyes and rested her head on Shen Yuechuan’s chest without moving.

She couldn’t deny her attachment to him.

She was loath to part with his strong chest. She thought to herself, “When will the heart in his chest pound because of me?”

Shen Yuechuan was immersed in a kind of warmth he had never experienced, with a desire to move his arms.

As long kept her close, he could hold Xiao Yunyun and express his feelings for her.

“Xiao Yunyun just regards me as one of her friends, doesn’t she? “It will surprise her if I express my feelings for her now. Isn’t it just like suddenly calling a halt to our fight and telling her that we should stop to see if it’s love?”

“Xiao Yunyun will either think that I’m crazy or she’ll panic.”

With that, Shen Yuechuan suddenly felt upset and clenched his fists.

Shen Yuechuan was lost in his thoughts, without noticing anything strange—If it had been in the past, Xiao Yunyun would have pushed him away the moment she b.u.mped into him. How come she buried her face against his chest for so long?

At that moment, Xiao Yunyun realized that she shouldn’t have behaved like that. She looked up; as she was about to speak, there came another urging voice from the hotel gate. “Everybody please get out of the way. We have to rush the patient to the hospital.”

“Another patient? “What happened?” With that, Xiao Yunyun subconsciously turned her head to see it.

“Don’t look.” Shen Yuechuan responded quickly. He cupped the back of Xiao Yunyun’s head with his palm while encircling her waist with the other arm to press her face against his chest. “You can do nothing about it even if you see what’s going on.”

Xiao Yunyun was flushed again.

“Maybe Shen Yuechuan’s hug just now was accidental. But now he is holding me out of concern, isn’t he?”

“Oh, what are we like in other people’s eyes now? Do they think that we are lovers?”

With those thoughts in mind, Xiao Yunyun didn’t realize that she had been close to Shen Yuechuan until a long time later. Fearing that he would notice her feelings, she struggled to look up and asked, “Why did you say that?”

“He’s a burned patient, but you’re not a dermatologist. What can you do to help?” Shen Yuechuan glanced at Xiao Yunyun and said, “By the way, they’re not heading for the hospital where you work.”

“Wherever they are sent, patients are no different to a doctor.” Xiao Yunyun stared at Shen Yuechuan and asked, “Why don’t you let me have a look?”

Shen Yuechuan touched Xiao Yunyun’s head and sighed. “He’s seriously burned. It looks terrifying. I’m afraid that you may have nightmares.”

After a silence, Xiao Yunyun gave him a faint smile. “Well, that’s true…”

The fact was that medical students like her had seen countless even more terrifying scenes that ordinary people could hardly imagine in cla.s.srooms and labs. Therefore, she could withstand it.

To watch a seriously burned patient was like a piece of cake to medical students.

Shen Yuechuan’s subconscious concern for her did mean a lot to her.

Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun, who was like a docile pet in his arms. To his surprise, he felt as if a stone in his heart had vanished.

Shen Yuechuan had to keep a cool head in his work. He had always appeared to be casual. However, he had kept asking himself to be heartless so that he could make rational decisions instead of being affected by emotions.

Things would go badly if Shen Yuechuan’s heart softened.

However, he thought to himself, “It’s because of Xiao Yunyun. Well, I’m glad to accept that.”

Shen Yuechuan smiled and said, “You’re dealing with people’s hearts every day in the hospital. Now, do you feel my heartbeat?”

Xiao Yun pretended to listen to his heart and said, “Yes, I do.”

“How does it feel?” Shen Yuechuan asked.

Xiao Yunyun said, “Your heartbeats sound strong and vigorous. If I could dissect it and look inside, I would see a very healthy heart!”

Shen Yuechuan: “…”

Speaking of her profession, Xiao Yunyun’s eyes lit up with excitement. “By the way, do you know why I can hear your heartbeat?”

Shen Yuechuan said, “Because my heart is racing. Isn’t it?” He thought that Xiao Yunyun would get the hidden meaning in his words.

“It’s not!” Xiao Yunyun had always regarded her profession as her life. She denied Shen Yuechuan’s answer without thinking. “Because a human being’s ribcage is hollow, and your heart is beating inside it!”

Shen Yuechuan: “…” He thought to himself, “D*mn! “Who the h.e.l.l cares about a hollow ribcage! “The point is that my heart is racing because of you!”

Seeing Shen Yuechuan’s embarra.s.sed face, Xiao Yunyun said in bewilderment, “You can’t figure it out, can you? “Take it easy. People rarely hear about it though you may not find it hard to understand. Don’t get frustrated!”

“…” Shen Yuechuan didn’t feel frustrated at all. Instead, he didn’t feel like talking with her.

“I should go now.” Xiao Yunyun pointed at the hotel gate and waved her hand toward Shen Yuechuan. “Take care when driving. See you next time.”

“…See you.” Shen Yuechuan watched Xiao Yunyun leave; he didn’t get in his car until she was out of his sight.

Shen Yuechuan called the Lu Family after his car mounted the road.

Aunt Liu answered the phone. Hearing Shen Yuechuan’s voice, Aunt Liu asked, “Mr. Shen, who do you want to take the call? The young master or his wife?”

“Neither.” Shen Yuechuan said wistfully, “Aunt Liu, please tell Jianan that I’ve driven her aunt and Xiao Yunyun to the hotel.”

“OK.” Aunt Liu asked, “Anything else?”

“No.”

Aunt Liu hung up and told Shen Yuechuan’s words to Su Jianan.

Su Jianan nodded and turned to look at Lu Boyan who was sitting beside her. “I think my aunt also likes Yuechuan.”

Lu Boyan was lost in his thoughts. He replied “oh” and fell silent.

In Su Jianan’s eyes, he looked strange.

Su Jianan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Lu Boyan. “Are you thinking about Youning?”

Lu Boyan came to his senses and looked into Su Jianan’s eyes. He sighed helplessly and said, “Yes.”

Su Jianan seated herself upright and gave Lu Boyan a serious look. “Tell me about it now. “Yesterday you said you would tell me about Youning after Yuechuan returned from the auction.”

Lu Boyan gently held Su Jianan’s hands and said, “Do you remember that yesterday I thought that maybe Xu Youning had returned to Kang Ruicheng to work undercover for us instead of conspiring against us?”

Su Jianan nodded in a daze. “Are you telling me that you guessed it?”

“…” Lu Boyan was silent, which was equivalent to “yes.”

Su Jianan felt as if having been struck by lightning with a “boom—” sound in her brain.

She had a bad feeling when she talked about that issue with Lu Boyan the previous day. However, she felt as if the world had stopped spinning when Lu Boyan confirmed it at that moment.

Lu Boyan had once told her that Kang Ruicheng was a heartless man who could even be ruthless to his beloved.

Once Kang Ruicheng found out that Xu Youning, who was supposed to work for him, had returned to him to help them conspire against him, he would torment her like crazy instead of ending her life.

Su Jianan would rather Xu Youning regard her and Lu Boyan as her enemies than take such a risk.

“What on earth happened?” Su Jianan grabbed Lu Boyan’s sleeves. “How could Mu Sijue ask Youning to return to Kang Ruicheng and work undercover?”

“He isn’t aware of it.” Lu Boyan briefly told her that Xu Youning had sent a text message to Shen Yuechuan. Then he said, “Yuechuan and I guessed from her text message that she may have returned to Kang Ruicheng to work undercover, but we’re not sure since there’s no evidence of it.”

“But…” Su Jianan hesitated.

Lu Boyan saw through Su Jianan. He asked, “You fear that it’s indeed like that?”

Su Jianan looked down. “I don’t think Youning would regard my brother and me as her enemies. So I’d rather believe that she has returned to work undercover. “But on the other hand, it’s too dangerous for her to do that. I would be better if she saw us as enemies.”

With that, Su Jianan realized that she was talking in a roundabout way. She gave Lu Boyan a helpless look and said, “You just told me that Mu Sijue isn’t aware of it, didn’t you? “He adores Youning. How could he not know that?”

Lu Boyan sighed and said, “Perhaps Xu Youning did know that Mu Qi wasn’t the one who killed Granny Xu. “She must be familiar with Kang Ruicheng’s cruelty since she used to be his right-hand woman. Perhaps she did know that Kang Ruicheng was the person who ordered Granny Xu’s murder.”

“She pretended to fall into Kang Ruicheng’s trap. She revealed herself in front of Ah Guang and the others to force Mu Qi to get rid of her. But all that was a play directed by her to deceive Kang Ruicheng. Because she wanted to wait for revenge after returning to him. “She even knew that Ah Guang would let her go.”

With that, Lu Boyan chuckled. “Xu Youning was much more intelligent than we thought.”

“Or perhaps Youning did take a chance. “She decided to return to Kang Ruicheng to avenge Granny Xu if Ah Guang let her go. “But if Ah Guang carried out Mu Sijue’s order, she would choose to die.” Su Jianan slumped down in the sofa with a lingering fear in mind and said, “Xiaoxi once said that Youning deserved an Oscar. “It turned out that she would have won an Oscar like Leonardo this year if she had broken into show business…”

Lu Boyan burst into laughter. “We shouldn’t tell Mu Qi about it for the time being. “Those are all our conjectures. We can’t get any evidence of it until Xu Youning contacts us a second time. “If we guessed wrong… I’m afraid that Mu Qi would not endure the fact.”

“…” Su Jianan nodded in agreement because she could imagine what Mu Sijue would look like when he knew the truth.

She and Lu Boyan had the same idea: Mu Sijue would go mad if he knew about their talk.

It wasn’t that he would go mad because Xu Youning had deceived him again.

He would go mad once he realized that he had forced Xu Youning to return to Kang Ruicheng, who would kill her at any time, instead of having seen through her plan.
