For a long time, Xu Youning did not speak. She just lowered her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Su Jian’an was a little worried and asked, “Youning, are you all right?”

If Xu Youning was angry, Su Jian’an could understand.

After all, Mu Sijue was going to take risks when Youning was pregnant, and even his life would be in danger.

If anything happened to Mu Sijue, Youning and the unborn baby would have no one to count on.

It was too cruel for the baby.

“Youning.” Su Jian’an said, “Boyan and I won’t allow Sijue to do it. But Boyan and I can’t stop him, so I think I should tell you about it, for you’re the only one who can convince him.”

Only then did Xu Youning look up at Su Jian’an, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with her look, “I know, Jian’an, thank you.”

Su Jian’an shook her head, indicating that Xu Youning did not need to be so polite. She said, “It’s cold outside. We’d better not stay in a draught here. Let’s go back.”

“Wait a minute.” Xu Youning grabbed Su Jian’an, “Jian’an, I want to ask you a question.”

“Huh?” Su Jian’an was a little curious, “what is it?”

“Why did Mu Sijue suddenly mention trading himself for Auntie Tang?” Xu Youning gradually looked uneasy, “did something bad happen?”

Su Jian’an subconsciously denied it, “No.” After a pause, in order to make her reply more persuasive, she continued, “in the past few days, Sijue has been investigating how Kang Ruicheng transferred my mother-in-law, but there is no progress. Sijue may be… a little restless.”

“Jian’an, in fact, I know you quite well,” Xu Youning said, “if everything is okay, you will not say so much.”

“…” Su Jian’an was speechless.

Seeing that Su Jian’an was in a dilemma, Xu Youning could not bear to ask further. She held her hand and said, “Let’s go back first. I’ll ask Mu Sijue when he comes back.”

Su Jian’an secretly breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the living room with Xu Youning.

In the living room, Xiao Yunyun was holding Xiangyi in her arms and saying to the little girl, “Xiangyi, do you think I should eat here with your mother or go back to eat with Uncle Yuechuan?”

“…” Of course, Xiangyi could not understand Xiao Yunyun’s words, but Xiao Yunyun asked so seriously that the little girl was completely attracted by her and stared at her with her black eyes.

Xiao Yunyun continued, “The food here is very tasty. Let’s abandon Uncle Yuechuan, okay?”

Xiangyi kicked her leg and screamed loudly, “Ah!”

Xiao Yunyun looked puzzled and asked, “Xiangyi, do you agree or not?”

“Xiangyi agreed,” Su Jian’an walked over and asked Xiao Yunyun, “did Yuechuan ask someone to send you here? Or did the club send someone to take you here?”

Xiao Yunyun tilted her head and replied, “Yuechuan asked someone to send me here.”

“Then I don’t have to make arrangements,” Su Jian’an held Xiangyi from Xiao Yunyun’s arms and said to her, “you can go back now.”

“Cousin,” Xiao Yunyun looked frustrated, “are you driving me away?”

Su Jian’an poked her forehead and said, “Don’t blame me. It’s obvious that you want to go back.”

“Eh?” Xiao Yunyun looked very curious, “Cousin, how did you know?”

“I know you too well. If you were really going to abandon Yuechuan, how could you ask for Xiangyi’s opinion?” Su Jian’an suddenly exposed Xiao Yunyun, “you would only come to ask me what we’ll eat for dinner.”

“…”

At this moment, Xiao Yunyun deeply felt that it was not a good thing that someone knew you too well.

When you did not even know what you were thinking, you had already put yourself in an awkward position in front of her.

Seeing Xiao Yunyun about to cry, Su Jian’an smiled and said, “Well, I’ll drive you to the parking lot.”

Xiao Yunyun could only go to the parking lot with Su Jian’an.

On the way, Xiao Yunyun suddenly remembered one thing and said, “Cousin, let’s put my wedding aside for the time being. The most important thing now is to rescue Auntie Tang.”

Su Jian’an had already told Shen Yuechuan that.

She felt a little guilty, but she still pretended to look serious, “I don’t have time to care about your wedding with Yuechuan these days.”

While talking, they arrived at the parking lot. Seeing Xiao Yunyun, the bodyguards opened the door in advance and waited for her.

Xiao Yunyun turned around and hugged Su Jian’an, “Cousin, thanks for your hard work.”

Su Jian’an smiled and also hugged Xiao Yunyun, “Well, go back. You should be able to eat with Yuechuan in time.”

“Okay,” Xiao Yunyun waved at Su Jian’an, “cousin, see you soon.”

“See you soon.”

Su Jian’an stood in situ and watched Xiao Yunyun’s car until it disappeared from her sight. Then she turned back to her house.

The two little kids were very well-behaved, and Su Jian’an was happy that she did not have to coax them. She said, “I’ll cook dinner.”

When encountering something tricky, Su Jian’an liked to stay in the kitchen. By cutting, washing and cooking, she could slowly calm down.

However, in the end, it turned out that Su Jian’an had overestimated the charm of the kitchen.

While cutting, she thought of the photo of Tang Yulan’s bloody arms, and she was distracted. Then she got her finger cut, and blood quickly gushed out of the wound.

“Ah!” Su Jian’an exclaimed subconsciously and pressed the wound.

Hearing the exclamation, Luo Xiaoxi ran into the kitchen and sharply found that Su Jian’an was injured. She got a band-aid from the first aid kit and bandaged Su Jian’an’s finger. Then she asked, “Jian’an, did something happen?”

Su Jian’an was stunned, “Why do you ask that?”

“You used to hold scalpels,” Luo Xiaoxi said, “you have never made such a mistake in so many years of cooking. What on earth happened?”

In the face of Luo Xiaoxi, Su Jian’an did not need to hide anything. She told Luo Xiaoxi everything about Tang Yulan’s injury, including the fact that Mu Sijue was going to take risks.

“Beast,” Luo Xiaoxi gritted her teeth, “how could Kang Ruicheng treat Auntie Tang like this? From the beginning to the end, the whole thing had nothing to do with Auntie Tang.”

“But Kang Ruicheng doesn’t think so,” Su Jian’an pressed the wound on her finger and said, “you and Yuechuan are right. Kang Ruicheng is not a human at all.”

“How’s your finger?” Luo Xiaoxi said, “how about you stop cooking? We can eat at the clubhouse.”

Su Jian’an shook her head and said, “If I give up halfway, Xu Youning will definitely notice something wrong. Sijue will probably not intend to tell her about the photos, and we should not let her find anything wrong.”

“All right,” Luo Xiaoxi could only listen to Su Jian’an, “be careful.”

Su Jian’an nodded and pulled herself together. After an hour, the dinner was finally ready.

Su Yicheng happened to come back. After the meal, Su Jian’an urged him to take Xiaoxi back to rest. She also urged Xu Youning to go back, on the grounds that pregnant women should rest early and well.

Luo Xiaoxi was still worried, “Jian’an, can you stay at home alone? Do you want us to stay with you until Boyan comes back?”

“Boyan won’t be back until 10 o’clock, or even later,” Su Jian’an said, “you just go back now and rest early. After I help Xiyu and Xiangyi take a shower, Boyan should be back.”

Luo Xiaoxi knew that it was useless to say more, so she left with Su Yicheng. Xu Youning also went out with them.

Su Jian’an went upstairs and entered the children’s room. She picked up Xiyu and said, “Your uncle and Auntie Youning went back. Mom will bath you and your sister.”

Xiyu yawned and rubbed his eyes with his little hand. He seemed to be already sleepy.

“Good boy, you can sleep after taking a shower.”

Su Jian’an went into the bathroom with Xiyu in her arms, and Aunt Liu followed in to help.

The bathroom was adequately heated. Su Jian’an helped the little boy take off his clothes and put him in the warm water while holding him.

Xiyu seemed to be energetic all of a sudden. He jumped in the water and hummed. There was a rare look of excitement on his face.

Su Jian’an could not help smiling.

She finally found that Xiyu liked water. Every time he touched water, he was particularly excited.

Or maybe this little boy had mysophobia and liked bathing.

On this point, he was similar to Lu Boyan.

Aunt Liu was afraid that the little boy would catch a cold, so she quickly finished bathing Xiyu, “Okay, pick him up.”

Su Jian’an lifted the little boy up from the water, and Xiyu immediately hummed to protest. He looked unhappy and was not willing to get up from the water at all.

Su Jian’an had ways to deal with him and quickly helped him put on the clothes.

Xiyu accepted the fact of leaving water so easily and soon quieted down. After drinking the milk, he fell asleep in Su Jian’an’s arms.

Su Jian’an handed Xiyu to Uncle Xu and then went to hold Xiangyi in her arms.

Xiangyi was totally different from her brother. As soon as she was put in the water, she cried. She had been grabbing Su Jian’an’s clothes tightly and seemed to be uneasy.

Tang Yulan said that it was because the little girl was afraid of water and needed to get used to it.

After bathing so many times, Xiangyi still could not get used to the water, and Tang Yulan…

Su Jian’an stopped thinking about it. She coaxed Xiangyi in a soft voice while bathing her.

Xiangyi seemed to feel that her mother was in a bad mood, so she pursed her lips and soon stopped crying. After the shower, she fell asleep without drinking milk.

After the two little kids settled down, Su Jian’an went to take a shower and it was not long before 10 o’clock.

No news was good news. Boyan did not call back, which meant that he would come back at about 10 o’clock, right?

Su Jian’an went downstairs and poured herself a glass of hot water in the kitchen. As soon as she came out of the kitchen, she saw Lu Boyan coming back.

She quickly put down the glass and ran over, “Did everything go well?”

“Yeah,” Lu Boyan took Su Jian’an’s hand and asked, “where are Xiyu and Xiangyi?”

“They are already asleep,” Su Jian’an suddenly thought of something and asked, “is Sijue back?”

“He came back with me,” Lu Boyan stared at Su Jian’an and asked, “aren’t you afraid that I will be jealous for you care about Sijue so much?”

“No joke. I’m serious,” Su Jian’an said, “I didn’t tell Youning about the photos, but Youning has found something wrong. I don’t know if Sijue can deal with Youning.”

“You don’t have to worry about Mu Qi,” Mu Sijue said, “Xu Youning is no match for him, unless he deliberately loses to her.”

Su Jian’an glanced at Lu Boyan doubtfully, “you used to deliberately lose to me too?”

Lu Boyan did not answer. Instead, he threw the question back to Su Jian’an, “What do you think?”

“I won’t say it out,” she pulled Lu Boyan upstairs, “let’s go upstairs and take a shower.”

Lu Boyan smiled and followed Su Jian’an upstairs.
