Xu Youning tried to brainstorm on possible ways to protect Xiao Yunyun.

  At the same time, Xiao Yunyun became angry.

  After Cao Mingjian, who had made improper sexual advances to the nurse, was accused by the hospital’s lawyers, he had to apologize to the nurse. The matter could have ended there.

  However, the well-informed media managed to get wind of the incident and published the news.

  The boss of a construction company was dragged into a scandal by this piece of news.

  During the interview, the nurse specially thanked Shen Yuechuan. Only then did the outside world know that Shen Yuechuan was the person in charge of this hospital.

  Shen Yuechuan was not interested in the profit he would have gained if he had cooperated with Cao Mingjian and instead chose to protect the personal safety and rights of the nurse in the hospital. Thus, he was highly praised by the public. His reputation on the Internet was totally different from that of Cao Mingjian, who was widely denounced by the public.

  Cao Mingjian was really indignant and then revealed that Shen Yuechuan had several attending doctors. He insisted that Shen Yuechuan was seriously ill and even released a malicious speculation that Shen Yuechuan might not be able to leave the hospital alive.

  The media asked Lu Enterprises for confirmation and received a reply that Shen Yuechuan’s current condition was very good. The Lu Enterprises also thanked everyone for their concern.

  The media asked shrewdly, “What about in the future? Will Shen Yuechuan’s condition improve in the future? What’s wrong with him? Will he recover at all?”


  Lu Enterprises did not reply to any of the media’s further questions. Cao Mingjian became more unscrupulous and even implied to the netizens that Shen Yuechuan could have an incurable disease, so Lu Enterprises could not answer the media’s questions at all.

  Xiao Yunyun almost cried in anger and she was about to look for Cao Mingjian, but was stopped by Shen Yuechuan.

  “Why are you stopping me from going to him?” Xiao Yunyun said angrily, “I’m going to bring Ye Luo along so he can beat him up!”


  “Cao Mingjian has recovered and has been discharged from the hospital. Where are you going to beat him up?” Shen Yuechuan smiled. “I’m not angry. Why are you so angry?”


  What Xiao Yunyun was really angry about was the term “incurable disease” he used to describe Shen Yuechuan’s illness.

  What she was most afraid of was that the experts could do nothing about Shen Yuechuan’s illness. It was as if Cao Mingjian actually laid a curse on Shen Yuechuan by saying that his illness was terminal.

  Just as Ye Luo had said, it was good of her to merely beat him up!

  While sitting and picking viciously at the sofa, she thought of something in a split second. “Did Cao Mingjian stay in the department of nephrology?”


  “Yep.” Shen Yuechuan stared at Xiao Yunyun. “What are you going to do?”


  “Nothing.” Xiao Yunyun smiled and took Shen Yuechuan’s laptop. She opened it and said, “I’m just going to remind Cao Mingjian that his kidney ailment is not just a minor problem and he should take care of himself after leaving the hospital and not to overtax his kidneys.”


  After thinking about Xiao Yunyun’s last sentence, Shen Yuechuan found that the little girl knew a lot at a young age.

  He grabbed the computer and found that Yunyun was already at the desktop screen.

  He frowned, looked at Xiao Yunyun and asked, “What did you say on the Internet?”


  “Don’t worry.” Xiao Yunyun smiled and said, “I know what I’m doing.”


  In the afternoon, the news that Cao Mingjian suffered from a kidney problem and had been hospitalized for treatment related to a certain function was widely spread on the Internet.

  Netizens disliked Cao Mingjian because of his inappropriate behavior toward a nurse. Seeing this news, everyone was naturally very happy and started to tease Cao Mingjian.

  In just a few hours, the emojis of “Cao Mingjian is impotent” came out.

  Cao Mingjian finally had a taste of the “dislikes” from the Internet world, so he had to call Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun to apologize.

  Xiao Yunyun snorted and said, “It’s useless to apologize. I want you to tell everyone that it was purely your malicious speculation about Yuechuan being in a poor condition.”


  “Okay, okay.” Cao Mingjian did not dare to refuse. “Miss Xiao, as long as you’re happy, I will do anything!”


  Cao Mingjian finally understood that in the Lu Enterprises, the first person he could not afford to offend was Su Jian’an, followed by Xiao Yunyun.

  If he offended Su Jian’an, he would be killed by Lu Boyan and probably no one wanted to test Lu Boyan’s means.

  If he offended Xiao Yunyun, he would be killed by Xiao Yunyun herself. Although the little girl’s means were not as sinister as Lu Boyan’s, she was insidious, too insidious!

  Shen Yuechuan hung up and looked at Xiao Yunyun. “You’re not angry now, are you?”


  Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and said, “Cao Mingjian is not worthy of my anger from morning till now.”


  A few days later, Shen Yuechuan was treated for the second time.

  This time, when he came out of the operating room, Shen Yuechuan’s face was paler than the last time and he slept for a longer period too.

  Xiao Yunyun felt her heart prickling in fear. She looked at Song Jiqing with mixed feelings and said, “You told me last time that the next treatment would be more painful. You were not kidding, right?”


  Song Jiqing said, “No, I was serious.”


  Xiao Yunyun was speechless.

  Seeing that Xiao Yunyun was about to cry, Song Jiqing was in a daze for a while as he thought of the violent little girl who would never cry. After a long time, he came to his senses and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. If this treatment is effective, Yuechuan will feel much better next time.”


  In fact, the effect of this treatment was much better than what all the doctors had imagined. Not to mention the precise examinations done by the doctors, it could be seen with the naked eye that he was much better.

  Xiao Yunyun was so happy that she wanted to give Song Jiqing and Henry a hug, but she was stopped by Shen Yuechuan before she could do anything of that sort.

  Shen Yuechuan said, “If you want a hug, you should hug me instead.”


  Xiao Yunyun was very obedient and threw herself into Shen Yuechuan’s arms. “Shen Yuechuan, you have to be in this condition always.”


  “You have to be like this always and improve rapidly.”


  Shen Yuechuan kissed the top of her head. “Okay.”


  After another day of observation, Henry told Shen Yuechuan that if he wanted to leave the hospital, he could stay at home for a few days. If he was comfortable staying at home, he could come back when it was time to receive the next treatment.

  Xiao Yunyun asked, “When will the next treatment be?”


  “Half a month later,” Henry said. “At present, the treatment is effective for Yuechuan, but it can’t be too frequent. We have to make allowances for a recovery period.”


  Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun’s hand and said, “Pack up. Let’s go home today.”


  Xiao Yunyun was not as excited as she had expected. She released Shen Yuechuan’s hand, looked at him and said, “You should not leave the hospital.”


  There was worry and uneasiness hidden in her eyes. Upon closer scrutiny, there was also a trace of fear in her eyes.

  Shen Yuechuan understood. He held Xiao Yunyun’s hand and comforted her in a soft voice, “Yunyun, I’m better now. It’s not a problem for me to stay at home.”


  Xiao Yunyun still shook her head. “What if you collapse again like last time?”


  “I promise you it will not happen.” Shen Yuechuan said, “Even if such a terrible thing really happens, Song Jiqing is downstairs. Rest assured, okay?”

  “.……”


  Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and did not speak.

  She also wanted to go home, but she was worried if he was not under the care of Henry and the other experts.

  Seeing Xiao Yunyun wavering, Shen Yuechuan bent down and whispered in her ear, “It’s inconvenient for us to do lots of things in the hospital. Let’s stay at home for a few days, okay?”


  “Boom—” Xiao Yunyun’s cheeks instantly turned red. She looked at Henry standing beside her and wanted to plunge her head into Shen Yuechuan’s chest.

  Shen Yuechuan patted Xiao Yunyun’s head and comforted her with a smile. “Don’t worry. Henry doesn’t understand.”


  Xiao Yunyun grabbed hold of Shen Yuechuan’s clothes, bit her lip and said, “You can go home, but as soon as you feel uncomfortable, you must come back to the hospital.”


  “Okay.” Shen Yuechuan kissed Xiao Yunyun and said meaningfully, “However, I won’t feel uncomfortable at home this time. I will only……”


  He didn’t continue, but Xiao Yunyun seemed to know what his unspoken words meant. Her face was so red, it was as if it was almost on fire.

  In the afternoon, the two of them packed up and went to Dingya Villas first.

  On the way, Xiao Yunyun was in an unusually good mood. She chatted casually with Shen Yuechuan, but later she noticed that Shen Yuechuan spoke lesser and lesser, while staring at the outside rearview mirror of the car from time to time.

  “Why is he staring into the rearview mirror?”


  She stretched out her hands and held Shen Yuechuan’s face. “Yuechuan, are you tired?”


  “No.” Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun in his arms and looked down at her. “What were you talking about just now?”


  “Well, I said……”


  Xiao Yunyun continued speaking. She was so engrossed that she didn’t notice that after a few minutes, Shen Yuechuan’s eyes were again looking into the rearview mirror.

  This time, Shen Yuechuan finally confirmed one thing.

  When they arrived at the Lu family’s residence, Su Jian’an had already prepared a hearty feast. Most of the dishes were Shen Yuechuan’s and Xiao Yunyun’s favorite ones. Of course, Xiao Yunyun’s favorite soup dumplings were there too.

  After the meal, Shen Yuechuan called Lu Boyan. “Let’s go to the study.”


  After entering the study, Shen Yuechuan closed the door.

  Lu Boyan vaguely realized that it might not be a simple thing. He asked, “Did you find something?”


  Shen Yuechuan nodded. “When I came back from the hospital just now, I found that some people were following Yunyun and me from the hospital gate.”


  Lu Boyan frowned and asked, “Kang Ruicheng?”


  “It’s indeed Kang Ruicheng’s way of tracking.” After a pause, Shen Yuechuan turned to ask, “But I don’t understand why Kang Ruicheng would still follow me.”


  When he was still working at Lu Enterprises, Kang Ruicheng did have a reason to deal with him.

  But now, he had resigned and he was even a patient. He was no longer a threat to Kang Ruicheng, so Kang Ruicheng had no reason to follow him.

  However, Xiao Yunyun was also in the car at that time.

  Lu Boyan soon understood Shen Yuechuan’s concern. “Are you suspecting that Kang Ruicheng’s target is Yunyun? Why?”


  “We should investigate Yunyun’s family background,” Shen Yuechuan said. “According to the records of the case, Yunyun’s parents were immigrants from Australia. But apart from this, the police could not find any other clues or even any traces about their parents. Don’t you think it’s strange?”


  It was strange indeed.

  Two adults would always have some family members who were still around in this world.

  However, after the car accident, Xiao Yunyun became an orphan. The Australian police could not get in touch with any of her parents’ relatives at all.

  “There’s one more thing.” Shen Yuechuan looked at Lu Boyan and said seriously, “I’ve investigated the car accident which Yunyun’s parents were in. It…… was very similar to Uncle Lu’s car accident.”


  “What?”


  Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes in an instant and his tone was as chilly as the cold wind blowing outside the window.

  Shen Yuechuan turned on the tablet, searched for a document and presented it to Lu Boyan.

  After reading it, Lu Boyan immediately asked Mu Sijue to investigate the identity of Xiao Yunyun’s parents.

  Shen Yuechuan was right. The car accident was exactly the same as his father’s car accident which had been deliberately caused by Kang Ruicheng.

  However, when Xiao Yunyun’s parents died, Kang Ruicheng was still young. It should have been caused by other people in the Kang family.

  If Yunyun’s parents were not simply immigrants, then Kang Ruicheng must have a special reason to keep an eye on Yunyun.

  There was something Kang Ruicheng wanted from Yunyun and she was already in danger without being aware of it.

  Lu Boyan reminded Shen Yuechuan. “Don’t let Yunyun go out alone during this period.”


  “I know.” After a pause, Shen Yuechuan added, “I’ll go back to work tomorrow.”


  Lu Boyan knew that Shen Yuechuan was doing that for Xiao Yunyun’s sake. After thinking for a while, he said, “Explain it clearly to Yunyun.”


  If Yunyun misunderstood and thought he was the one who asked Shen Yuechuan to go back to work, the little girl would definitely complain to Su Jian’an.

  At that time, he would not be able to clear his name even if he had a second mouth.

  Boss Lu refused to be a villain.
