Chapter 1156 Don’t Get Too Close to My Wife (2)

In the study, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue sat face-to-face on the two single sofas.

Bai Tang felt the most comfortable. He occupied the long sofa alone and could make any kind of posture he wanted.

Bai Tang had always been indulgent, so his posture was naturally like that of a young master.

However, when he was facing Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue, his tone was unexpectedly strict. “Regardless of anything else, let’s assume that Kang Ruicheng will be attending the banquet with Xu Youning. Let’s discuss whether Mu Qi will take action or not.”

No one spoke, and the big study was quiet.

Bai Tang hated silence the most. He glanced at Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue and urged them to talk.

Lu Boyan was not the person involved, so he had no position to speak. He naturally turned his eyes to Mu Sijue.

Mu Sijue’s eagle-like eyes were no longer as sharp as before. He lowered his head slightly and said word by word, “I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”

This was an opportunity to save Xu Youning.

Mu Sijue couldn’t convince himself to give it up.

Bai Tang rubbed the tip of his nose with his knuckle thoughtfully and nodded. “Sijue, I understand how you feel. But have you ever thought about the consequences if our operation fails after we take action?”

Once Mu Sijue decided to confront Kang Ruicheng head-on, there would be a fierce fight at the banquet.

This matter would not only have a bad impact on City A but also bring a lot of trouble to Mu Sijue and Lu Boyan.

Mu Sijue certainly wouldn’t mind such trouble if he could successfully save Xu Youning.

But what if their operation failed?

Not only would Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue get themselves into trouble, but also Xu Youning would suffer miserably.

It seemed that it was too hasty to decide to take action immediately.

Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were well aware of the pros and cons.

Mu Sijue just couldn’t convince himself to give up the opportunity in front of him, let alone do nothing.

“Boyan, Sijue, we can’t rush it.” Bai Tang looked very calm and said slowly, “We should take our time to think about it and make a proper plan. Not only will we not miss this opportunity, but also we and Xu Youning will be safe.”

Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue both knew that Bai Tang’s suggestion was the wisest choice.

The reason why Lu Boyan did not say it out loud was that he knew Mu Sijue too well.

Mu Sijue must be struggling to decide if he should gamble on everything and try his best to seize this opportunity. As long as he could save Xu Youning, he could lose everything.

If Mu Sijue still wanted to go all out, it would actually be meaningless for Lu Boyan to say the so-called wise choice.

If Mu Sijue could still stay rational and weigh the pros and cons, he would naturally make the same choice as Bai Tang without the latter’s reminder.

Therefore, Lu Boyan was just waiting.

He was waiting for Mu Sijue to make a choice.

Mu Sijue knew very well that once he made that so-called wise choice, it meant that he might give up the only chance at present.

He was silent for a long time. Then, he looked up at Bai Tang.

Chief Tang arranged for Bai Tang to come over just to exchange information with Lu Boyan.

Bai Tang could have just let it go.

Since he was here, it meant that he had a plan.

Mu Sijue said slowly, “Bai Tang, I want to hear your advice first.”

“Alas-” Bai Tang sighed in disappointment. “I knew I had to come on stage.”

Bai Tang knew that Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue both had emotional concerns at this time. As an outsider, he was the most suitable person to make plans.

Bai Tang adjusted his posture and looked at Mu Sijue seriously. “On the day of the banquet, it’s not that you can’t take action, but that you can’t act casually.”

Mu Sijue looked at Bai Tang and motioned for him to continue. “What do you think I should do?”

“It’s very simple.” Bai Tang said lightly, “You need to get prepared to take action first. On the day of the banquet, if there is a chance, and you are sure to succeed, don’t waste this opportunity. Just take it and bring Xu Youning back.”

Hearing this, Lu Boyan faintly reminded Bai Tang, “You should know clearly what will happen at the scene and what the aftermath will be if we confront Kang Ruicheng head-on.”

Bai Tang gave Lu Boyan a reassuring look and said, “I know that, of course. But if you’re sure that you can save Xu Youning, we don’t have to worry about that. Just leave it to my dad! Of course, you may get into some little trouble, but I believe that you can handle it!”

The other two were speechless.

Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue looked at Bai Tang, and both of their expressions became a little strange.

Bai Tang didn’t expect that they would react so calmly, which was not within his expectations.

Young Master Bai got furious. He slammed on the table and said, “I’m making my dad bear the consequences, not you. Can you give me a response? If you don’t play along, how can we cooperate in the future, huh?!”

As soon as Bai Tang finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. It was neither too fast nor too slow and sounded quite rhythmic.

Bai Tang had always hated being disturbed, especially when he was in a bad mood.

He almost flipped the table and shouted impatiently, “Who is it?”

Lu Boyan glanced at Bai Tang lightly, and there was already a hint of anger in his voice. “It’s my wife. Dare you to shout again?”

“It’s Su Jian’an?”

“It’s her?” Bai Tang suddenly became listless and hurriedly said, “Go and open the door! But why were you so mean just now? Do you think you’re great to have a wife?”

Lu Boyan calmly retorted Bai Tang. “I’m better than you, a single man.” After that, he turned around and walked to the door.

Bai Tang was stunned by that.

“Do I deserve to be laughed at for being single?

“Mu Sijue is also not married, is he?”

Bai Tang looked at Mu Sijue in a complicated mood. When he was hesitating about what to say, Mu Sijue had already said first, “Don’t look at me. I have a child.”

Bai Tang didn’t say anything.

He deeply felt the tragedy of being single.

On the other side, Lu Boyan had opened the door.

He was right. It was Su Jian’an outside the door.

Su Jian’an hesitated outside and finally asked Uncle Xu to knock on the door for her.

Lu Boyan took the tray and looked at Su Jian’an with a frown. “Why didn’t you go to rest?”

Su Jian’an pursed her lips and said, “I don’t feel uncomfortable now. It’s too boring to lie in bed. By the way, have you made a decision?”

“Not yet.” Lu Boyan rubbed Su Jian’an’s head. “I’ll tell you at noon.”

“Okay, I’ll prepare lunch for you!”

Su Jian’an nodded obediently and was about to turn to go downstairs.

“Jian’an,” Lu Boyan stopped Su Jian’an and said firmly, “leave that to the chef. Bai Tang is not picky. He will eat whatever he gets.”

Su Jian’an couldn’t help smiling. “I see. I’ll leave you to the guys now.”

Lu Boyan took the coffee back to the study and put the tray on the tea table. “Jian’an made it.”

Bai Tang relied heavily on coffee. When he smelled the fragrance, he felt refreshed. He picked up a cup and took a sip. It was almost the same as the coffee he had tasted in the coffee shops abroad.

“Hmm, it tastes so nice.” Bai Tang sighed with satisfaction and patted Lu Boyan on the shoulder. “How did you manage to marry such a good wife?”

“It’s not about how.” Lu Boyan said lightly, “It’s that the man she married is me.”

The implication was that he could marry Su Jian’an because it was him.

There was probably no hope for the others to get Su Jian’an.

“Hey!” Bai Tang looked at Lu Boyan contemptuously. “Anyway, she is already yours. You can say whatever you want.”

Lu Boyan glanced at Bai Tang and said, “Get to the point.”

Bai Tang took another sip of coffee and looked at Mu Sijue.

He had said what he needed to say, and the key point now was Mu Sijue.

If Mu Sijue did not make a decision, what they talked about would be meaningless.

Lu Boyan also picked up the coffee and looked at Mu Sijue.

This decision was related to what happened to Mu Sijue next, so he had to wait patiently.

Mu Sijue slightly lowered his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said, “Bai Tang, we’ll do as you say.”

Bai Tang was stunned for a long time before he dared to believe that Mu Sijue had really decided to listen to him.

He sighed again, pulled up his coat, put on a very handsome posture, and said, “This can only mean one thing- in terms of intelligence, I’m very likely to crush you!”

Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue tacitly ignored Bai Tang and continued to discuss some details.

Bai Tang looked at the two people sitting on both sides of him and could not help complaining, “You have no sense of humor!”

In fact, he didn’t know that Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue had already thought of his so-called most rational choice. But for various reasons, one of them didn’t want to say, and the other couldn’t.

Bai Tang’s role here was very subtle. He just acted as a spokesperson and urged Mu Sijue to make this choice.

Now, Mu Sijue had made his choice.

Bai Tang’s mission was complete.

While Lu Boyan and the others were discussing the details, Su Jian’an was busy in the kitchen downstairs.

She had heard that Lu Boyan did not allow her to work lest she would catch a cold, but she still wanted to cook a few dishes for Mu Sijue and Bai Tang, who had rarely come here.

The chef cleaned and prepared the ingredients, and Su Jian’an was only in charge of cooking them.

When all the dishes were done, the soup in the pot boiled and emitted a strong fragrance, which gradually filled the whole kitchen.

The chef couldn’t help sighing. “Mrs. Lu, since you married Mr. Lu, it seems that we no longer need to do our job.”

Uncle Xu smiled and checked the time. It was just the right time for lunch. He said, “I’ll go up and call Mr. Lu and Mr. Mu.”

Su Jian’an didn’t know if Lu Boyan had finished talking with Mu Sijue, so she stopped Uncle Xu and said, “I’ll go.”

She took off her apron and handed it to Uncle Xu before she walked out of the kitchen.

At this time, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue upstairs had just finished talking.

Bai Tang stood up and stretched. “I’m so hungry, Boss Lu. Are you going to entertain me?”

Lu Boyan looked at the clock on the wall. By then, the chef should have prepared lunch.

He then stood up and said, “Let’s go downstairs to eat.”

Mu Sijue didn’t move and suddenly said, “I want to go and see Xiyu and Xiangyi first.”

Before Lu Boyan could speak, Bai Tang had come over and asked, “Who are Xiyu and Xiangyi?” Then, he suddenly recalled that Lu Boyan had already been a father and asked, “Boyan, are they your legendary twins?”
