Xu Youning subconsciously wanted to pull the quilt with her hands. She moved, only to make a loud noise of the handcuffs colliding on the head of the bed, and her wrist felt hurt by the cold metal handcuffs.

  Mu Sijue raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Xu Youning leisurely. The contrast between his relaxation and Xu Youning’s embarrassment was so annoying to her.

  Xu Youning got angry. She squeezed out a word from between her teeth, “Pervert!”


  Mu Sijue bent down, and his breath ambiguously fell on Xu Youning’s body as he said, “Are you referring to just now or last night?”


  Xu Youning snorted and said, “Don’t say it as if you were a pervert only just now and last night!”


  The implication was that Mu Sijue was a pervert all the time.

  Mu Sijue was not angry at receiving such a five-star bad comment. He bent down and said, “So, I should do something now, right?” The smile on his lips became bigger and bigger, which made people’s imaginations run wild.

  Xu Youning did not know if she had heard it wrong. She always felt that Mu Sijue deliberately emphasized the word “do”.

  Even her soul trembled once, and she subconsciously wanted to shrink into the quilt.

  Perhaps because of his guilty pleasure, Mu Sijue found that he liked to see Xu Youning’s timid look. He wanted to scare her again, but his phone rang at the wrong time.

  It was Song Jiqing.

  Mu Sijue answered the phone and said coldly, “Say it!”


  It was the first time for Song Jiqing to hear Mu Sijue speak in such a harsh tone. He paused for half a second and said, “I’ve arrived in City A. Ask Shen Yuechuan and Yunyun to get ready to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.”


  “.……” Mu Sijue pondered for a while and asked, “How sure are you about Yunyun’s situation?”


  “I’m very confident.” Song Jiqing seemed to be talking about something as easy as turning over his hand. He said with ease, “But there is ancestral guidance in the Song family that we can’t say for certain that we will completely cure the patients, or we’ll make trouble to ourselves. Besides, Shen Yuechuan is not easy to deal with at first glance. If I promise him that I can cure Xiao Yunyun, but I don’t make it, he will eat me alive.”


  “.……” Mu Sijue said, “Just do your best.”


  Song Jiqing laughed and said, “Don’t worry. For your sake, of course, I’ll do my best. But…… is it inappropriate for me to call you now. Did I ruin your plan?”


  Mu Sijue frowned. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard Song Jiqing continue to say,

  “Well, you’ve been single for so long, and I feel that you’ve suffered a lot because of suppressing your desire too long.” Song Jiqing released a mocking laugh. “Seventh Brother Mu suffered a lot because of suppressing his desire. If this spreads out, it won’t be a joke, but a terrifying story.”


  “.……”


  This time, Mu Sijue did not hesitate and decisively hung up Song Jiqing’s phone. He turned his head and saw Xu Youning’s confused look.

  “Did she hear what Song Jiqing said?”


  His heart sank, and a burst of anger that couldn’t be vented rose in his heart, but he didn’t understand what kind of feeling it was.

  Much later, Mu Sijue saw a word: guilty.

  “Mu Sijue.” Xu Youning stared at him and asked, “What did you mean by that?”


  Mu Sijue asked as if nothing had happened, “What did I say just now?”


  “What happened to Yunyun?” Xu Youning said, “Why did you ask that person if he was confident about Yunyun’s situation?”


  “.……”


  It turned out that she was just concerned about Xiao Yunyun.

  Mu Sijue was in a more complicated mood, but his tone finally returned to normal. “Yunyun’s right hand is seriously injured and may not recover. She may not be a doctor anymore.”


  To be a doctor was Xiao Yunyun’s only dream.

  If her right hand couldn’t recover, and Xiao Yunyun couldn’t hold the scalpel, it would shatter her dream.

  Xu Youning was stunned for a moment before she accepted the news. She looked at Mu Sijue and asked, “You’ve found someone to help her?”


  “One of my friends,” Mu Sijue said briefly, “and Yunyun will be discharged from the hospital for his treatment.”


  Mu Sijue’s friends were not ordinary people. He dared to ask Xiao Yunyun to be discharged from the hospital for treatment, which showed that he was confident about Xiao Yunyun’s situation.

  It would be best if Xiao Yunyun’s hand could recover.

  Otherwise, Xu Youning couldn’t imagine how Xiao Yunyun could suffer the frustrations in both love and dream.

  Speaking of Xiao Yunyun’s love, Xu Youning suddenly remembered something serious, and she asked,

  “Who will take care of Yunyun after she leaves the hospital? Jian’an doesn’t have time, and Xiaoxi is pregnant, so does Yunyun have to receive treatment outside alone?”


  Mu Sijue didn’t answer Xu Youning. He looked at her carefully and asked meaningfully, “Why do you care so much about Yunyun?”


  “I……” Xu Youning struggled for a moment. “I must see Yuechuan!”


  Mu Sijue answered lightly, “You can only see me now.”


  Although he said so, he seemed to be able to control everything.

  Xu Youning was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She wanted to bite Mu Sijue’s artery right away.

  However, if she really did so, she would be strangled to death by Mu Sijue first.

  Xu Youning could only emphasize coldly, “Mu Sijue, I really have something to talk to Shen Yuechuan. It concerns the happiness of Shen Yuechuan and Yunyun. Do you still want to delay their time?”


  “How would I know if you’re lying?” Mu Sijue said coldly, “Tell me, what do you want to say to Yuechuan? I’ll tell him based on the circumstances.”


  “.……” Xu Youning shook her head. “It concerns their privacy. Even if it’s you, I can’t say it.”


  Mu Sijue’s attention was focused on Xu Youning’s words. “What do you mean by saying ‘even if it’s me’?”


  Xu Youning deliberately emphasized it. Did it mean that in her heart, his position was at least special?

  Only then did Xu Youning realize that she had unconsciously regarded Mu Sijue as a different existence from the others in her heart.

  What was worse was that she had revealed the secret in front of Mu Sijue.

  Fortunately, she was able to make it justifiable.

  “I mean—even if you have a special relationship with Shen Yuechuan, I can’t tell you.” Xu Youning smiled and said, “Seventh Brother, don’t think too much.”


  “In that case—” Mu Sijue raised the corner of his mouth and gave Xu Youning a heavy counterattack, and said, “Unfortunately, you can’t see Yuechuan.”


  Xu Youning knew Mu Sijue too well. At this time, the bigger his smile was, the angrier he became.

  He did not care about Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun just because he was angry?

  She got angry. “Mu Sijue, can you not be so childish?”


  For the first time, someone accused Brother Mu Qi of being childish.

  Mu Sijue’s face darkened, and he asked sharply, “What are you looking Yuechuan for?”


  It was obvious from his look that he would not let her go, let alone let her see Shen Yuechuan.

  Xu Youning had to compromise and said honestly, “Kang Ruicheng wants to expose the matter of Shen Yuechuan and Yunyun.”


  “To expose that they are siblings?” Mu Sijue sneered. “I thought that only mad dogs would casually bite people. Has Kang Ruicheng been bitten by a mad dog?”


  “.……” Xu Youning was speechless for a long time and said the truth helplessly, “Yunyun and Yuechuan love each other, and Lin Zhixia is just a smoke bomb used by Shen Yuechuan. That’s what Kang Ruicheng wants to expose. Think about the consequences yourself!”


  “.……” Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t find any sign of Xu Youning lying at all.

  He turned around and was about to leave when Xu Youning stopped him in time. “Where are you going?”


  Mu Sijue said in a deep voice, “To contact Yuechuan.”


  “The love between Yuechuan and Yunyun is real. What’s the use of you contacting Yuechuan?” Xu Youning said, “Why don’t you find a way to help him solve this crisis?”


  Two genetically related people fell in love with each other. The man found a girl to be their smoke bomb and finally caused the girl to be scolded by thousands of netizens……

  Once it was exposed by the media, the result of Xiao Yunyun’s red packet incident would be reversed, and Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun would also face a lot of pressure in the country.

  It was probably Kang Ruicheng’s aim to force Shen Yuechuan to leave and destroy Lu Boyan’s right-hand man.

  Xu Youning dared to stop him, mostly because she had a way to stop Kang Ruicheng.

  Mu Sijue turned around and stared at Xu Youning. “Do you have an idea?”


  “Of course I do.” Xu Youning pulled the handcuffs. “Release me first. I’m so uncomfortable!”


  Mu Sijue took the key out of the drawer of the bedside table and unlocked Xu Youning’s handcuffs. At the same time, he warned her, “Don’t try to run away.”


  Xu Youning stretched her sore wrist and said word by word, “Let me correct it. It’s not running away, but I’ll just go back. You took me to this place by force!”


  In Mu Sijue’s understanding, Xu Youning meant that she didn’t want to come here at all because she belonged to the Kang family’s old house instead of this place.

  In an instant, Mu Sijue’s eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. “Don’t talk nonsense. Tell me about your idea.”


  “I’m the idea.” Xu Youning looked into Mu Sijue’s eyes and said, “Since you’ve kidnapped me, why don’t you make good use of me?”


  Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning. She still had ambiguous red marks on her shoulders and collarbones.

  He raised the corner of his mouth with satisfaction. “I think I’ve made good use of you.”


  “.……” Xu Youning was so angry that she really wanted to rush up to bite Mu Sijue to death. But for the sake of Xiao Yunyun, she finally held back this impulse and said, “You can use me to exchange with Kang Ruicheng for something good for you.”


  Mu Sijue glanced at her and asked in a low voice, “What do you mean?”


  “I didn’t go back all night. Kang Ruicheng probably already knew that I am in your hands.” Xu Youning said in detail, “You can contact Kang Ruicheng and use me as an exchange, asking him to pretend that he doesn’t know about Shen Yuechuan and Yunyun.”


  This was a good idea.

  However, Mu Sijue did not agree with Xu Youning’s proposal immediately.

  On the contrary, his facial features were quickly covered with a layer of chilliness, and he said in a terribly cold voice, “Are you doing this for the good of Yuechuan and Yunyun, or for the sake of returning to the Kang family?”


  “Using her in exchange for the condition?

  “Ha, why didn’t she directly say that she wanted to go back to Kang Ruicheng?”


  Xu Youning looked into Mu Sijue’s eyes, and her whole body felt cold.

  She had seen his look, but it was the first time that she knew that he could be so angry.

  His handsome face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice that would not melt. He looked at her with a frightening look of coldness. It seemed that the air was condensing to form the rainstorm at the bottom of his eyes, and the next second, the rainstorm would sweep across the whole world.

  If Mu Sijue was a beast, Xu Youning had no doubt that he had already torn her into pieces and eaten her up.

  But most importantly, why was he so angry?
