After dinner, Su Jian’an settled her two babies for the night. Lu Boyan was still dealing with some paperwork in the study so she went back to the bedroom and planned to sleep early instead of disturbing Lu Boyan.

However, she lay tossing and turning and had not fallen asleep yet when Lu Boyan came in.

As soon as Lu Boyan lay down, Su Jian’an wriggled into his arms and held him tightly, half of her face buried against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Lu Boyan stroked Su Jian’an’s hair and asked, “Why haven’t you slept yet?”

“I’m thinking about Youning,” Su Jian’an was hesitant and perturbed, “If I find out that Youning was really hiding something bad from us, what should we do?”

“You are only responsible for finding out the truth. If there is really something wrong, Sijue will deal with it.” Lu Boyan looked at the time and found it was already late, so he pressed Su Jian’an deliberately. “If you don’t sleep now, how about we do something interesting?”

Su Jian’an was clear about what the interesting thing was.

If it had been in the past, she would have blushed and avoided him, and in a half-loathing and half-consenting state, would have been conquered by Lu Boyan in the end.

However, during this time, what happened between Mu Sijue and Xu Youning was a reminder to her that it was not easy for two people to be with each other—it took a decade for Lu Boyan and her to have this current happy life. But there were many more people who were still experiencing twists and turns in their relationships.

In addition to thankful, she wanted to hold Lu Boyan tightly and enjoy the time with him.

Su Jian’an looked up at Lu Boyan. Her eyes looked extremely enticing in the dark, which touched Lu Boyan’s nerves.

Lu Boyan’s eyes rested on Su Jian’an’s lips. Just as he was about to kiss her, Su Jian’an suddenly took the initiative to kiss him.

Su Jian’an was rarely so active.

Surprised for a short while, Lu Boyan soon reacted. He wrapped Su Jian’an’s mouth, pried open her teeth, and kissed her affectionately.

Su Jian’an suddenly became very bold. She took off Lu Boyan’s clothes and nestled against him eagerly. It was as if she finally found something warm after walking in the snow for a long time.

However, she was not familiar with how to take the lead in sex. Strong in will but weak in power, she could not help being anxious.

Seeing Su Jian’an’s look, Lu Boyan kissed her eyes, smiled and held her hand, and said in a hoarse and sexy voice, “Jian’an, your hand should be here. Take what you want by yourself.”

Su Jian’an wanted to cover her face.

From then on, there was one more sentence that would make her shy—take what you want by yourself.

Su Jian’an blushed and her face felt as if it was on fire.

Lu Boyan indulged himself by kissing her flushed cheeks. “Jian’an, you took the initiative,” he said.

Su Jian’an closed her eyes resignedly—yes, she did.

In this case, she would play all her cards!

Su Jian’an flirted with Lu Boyan enthusiastically. Under the cover of the night, she became an alluring elf, completely cooperating with Lu Boyan.

In the end, when she lost herself in the process, she suddenly said, “Honey, I love you.”

Lu Boyan slowed down his out-of-control movements, kissed Su Jian’an’s sweaty forehead tenderly and said, “I love you too.”

For Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an, this night was destined to be romantic and passionate.

But things were different on Kang Ruicheng’s side.

At the Kang family house, after Kang Ruicheng was taken away by the police, the Su Group blocked the news. Other than knowing that the CEO of the Su Group was at the police station, the gossipers did not learn much about anything else.

However, some eagle-eyed netizens observed the photos that showed Kang Ruicheng being caught and found that it was the policemen from the Economic Criminal Investigation Department who took Kang Ruicheng away.

That was to say, Kang Ruicheng must be helping in an economic case.

Considering Kang Ruicheng’s identity as the CEO of the Su Group, people made a lot of speculations.

The media kept calling the Public Relations Department of the Su Group who, however, only said perfunctorily that it was not convenient to reveal the details at the moment.

During the 24 hours when Kang Ruicheng was detained, the police failed to find any effective evidence and could only release him.

When Kang Ruicheng left the police station, he was protected by many bodyguards, which enabled him to get away from the media’s siege and return home.

Xu Youning knew it would not be a peaceful night. So she coaxed Mumu to sleep early and sat in the living room, waiting for Kang Ruicheng to come back.

A group of subordinates escorted Kang Ruicheng back. He looked sullen and terrifying as if he had suddenly been stabbed in the back. Now, he couldn’t wait to tear that person apart to vent his hatred.

Dongzi poured a glass of water and handed it to Kang Ruicheng, saying, “Brother Cheng, calm down.”

Kang Ruicheng took the glass and held it tightly in his hand. His knuckles were white as if he exerted too much force. “Find out how Mu Sijue collected the evidence!” His voice sounded distorted too.

After that, Kang Ruicheng slammed the glass on the table. The water splashed all over the place.

Dongzi bowed his head and said, “I’ll do it right away!”

Kang Ruicheng waved his hand to motion for the other subordinates to leave. That left only him and Xu Youning in the living room.

Only then did Xu Youning say, “The negotiation with Auston failed. Our opponent is Mu Sijue, and Auston and Mu Sijue seem to be friends. We had no advantage at all.”

On the way back from the police station, Dongzi had already updated Kang Ruicheng on the result of the negotiation and that someone had attacked Xu Youning in the bar.

Kang Ruicheng paid no attention to the news about the cooperation with Auston. Instead, he smiled oddly and said, “I heard that Mu Sijue saved you today?”

Xu Youning always bore in mind that she couldn’t show even the tiniest bit of affection for Mu Sijue.

She didn’t admit or deny it. Instead, she emphasized her ability, answering, “Because he reacted a little bit faster than me. But, even if he didn’t do it, I could still avoid the bullet.”

Kang Ruicheng gazed at Xu Youning without speaking.

Xu Youning asked directly, “What are you suspecting?”

It was hard to tell what Kang Ruicheng’s look meant. He said intentionally, “A Ning, the more urgent the situation is, the more a person will expose his feelings.”

In other words, Mu Sijue still cared about her.

However, Xu Youning didn’t care about it at all. Like an emotionless cold-blooded animal, she responded extremely calmly, “It has nothing to do with me. I didn’t force Mu Sijue to save me and I did not appreciate his effort.”

“Even so, I still need to confirm something in person.”

Kang Ruicheng suddenly stood up and walked toward Xu Youning like a bloodthirsty demon.

Xu Youning kept telling herself that it was Kang Ruicheng who had killed her grandmother. So when they talked face to face, he should be the one who should feel guilty and scared.

She didn’t do anything wrong to Kang Ruicheng, so she did not need to be afraid of him.

Thinking about it, Xu Youning’s fear and panic gradually eased. She looked into Kang Ruicheng’s eyes with confusion and asked, “What do you want to confirm?”

“Get up. Follow me to the hospital!”

Kang Ruicheng didn’t allow Xu Youning to refuse his request or find any excuse.

Xu Youning was very alert. She knew that at this time, she could not show any fear or hesitation. Otherwise, Kang Ruicheng would be even more suspicious of her.

She should stay calm.

Xu Youning nodded and said calmly, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

Kang Ruicheng didn’t change his mind even though Xu Youning agreed to cooperate with him. He asked his driver to prepare the car and took Xu Youning out.

After getting in the car, Kang Ruicheng named a private hospital.

The driver asked doubtfully, “Brother Cheng, we are not going to the Eighth People’s Hospital?”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense?” Kang Ruicheng glared daggers at the driver. “Just go wherever I ask you to. Drive!”

The driver didn’t dare to say anything more and started the car quickly.

Xu Youning sat next to him. Although she didn’t say a word, her brain was working fast.

Kang Ruicheng was very angry now. This was not the time for her to lose her temper.

If she guessed right, Kang Ruicheng wanted to find another hospital to confirm whether her child was dead or not and whether the blood clots in her brain existed.

The blood clots did exist, of course.

What worried Xu Youning was how to react if, unluckily, her child was found alive.

She had two choices.

First, take a chance on the second test. She could insist that the result was wrong due to the equipment failure in the private hospital. The second examination might produce a different result.

Second, being honest. She would admit that the child was indeed alive, and she lied to Kang Ruicheng because she wanted the child.

But no matter which method she used, Kang Ruicheng would not trust her anymore, which would put her in danger. If Kang Ruicheng found out that she had been searching for evidence of his money laundering business, she would definitely die.

Now, she could only pray for God’s intervention so she could deceive Kang Ruicheng.

Only in this way could she and her child be safe and her child would have a chance to come to this world.

Kang Ruicheng turned to glance at Xu Youning and found that she was her usual calm self, showing no fear about what would happen next.

However, he learned from this incident not to trust her but trust the examination results only.

In less than half an hour, the car stopped in front of a public hospital. Uncle He came out and led Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning inside.

Kang Ruicheng ordered his subordinates, “Guard the hospital, and remember, I don’t want anyone to find out about this.”

The subordinates nodded, replying, “Understood.”

After entering the hospital, Uncle He said, “Ah Cheng, I’ve arranged everything. Who will bring Ms. Xu for the examination? You or me?”

Kang Ruicheng glanced at Xu Youning and said coldly, “You take us there.”

This time, he was going to be there the whole time so that Xu Youning would have no chance to be alone with the doctor.

Uncle He didn’t say anything and motioned for Kang Ruicheng to follow him.

Kang Ruicheng pulled Xu Youning ahead. His face was dark with anger and he had a murderous look in his eyes. It was as if he could cut a person into pieces in minutes.

Xu Youning tried her best to keep calm. She walked into the examination room where the equipment was a bit old and cooperated with the doctor to do the pregnancy test.

Some instruments moved over her abdomen and the results gradually came out.

She looked at the ceiling and prayed silently.

Though never being a lucky person, she had not complained about her fate at all.

This time, for the sake of her child, shouldn’t the God of Luck help her at least once?
