Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 753 Seventh Brother, Hurry Back

The doctor had said that the old wound on her head was a time bomb for Xu Youning.

Once it exploded, the consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate.

Xu Youning had thought she would be lucky enough for the bomb to be in the know of her plans after staying in her head for that long, delaying the explosion until she killed Kang Ruicheng.

The bomb obviously had plans of its own. It was about to explode in front of Mu Sijue.

Xu Youning clenched her teeth and covered her swollen head, trying to swallow the unbearable pain.

She decided not to go through the risky treatment and returned to Kang Ruicheng in order to avenge her grandmother. Everyone misunderstood that she was crazily obsessed with Kang Ruicheng.

She had put in so much effort to win Kang Ruicheng’s trust, but she still had not had the time to do a thing…

She had to hold back the pain and keep her cover.

It turned out she had underestimated the power of the “bomb” and overestimated her endurance.

The heavy pain was like a heavenly net, covering her tightly. No matter how much she gritted her teeth, she couldn’t stop her tears from coming out…

Mu Sijue was left in a daze for half a minute.

He had seen Xu Youning when she was calm, ruthless, and charming.

However, she had never seen her in such a fragile state.

Xu Youning was like a small beast riddled with wounds at the moment. She curled up on the bed and was incapable of fighting back.

At a glance, he could only see the weakness and paleness that she had no time to hide.

Was it his rudeness that left her so weak and pale?

Mu Sijue’s hand trembled. He held Xu Youning’s shoulder and asked, “Xu Youning?”

“…”

Xu Youning was completely unable to hear Mu Sijue’s voice.

The pain on her head was getting more and more intense. She couldn’t wait to stick her head into the pillow and then lose consciousness forever.

That way she would no longer have to endure that overwhelming pain.

A trace of panic flashed across Mu Sijue’s eyes, given that Xu Youning didn’t respond. He forcefully turned Xu Youning’s face his way and said in a trembling voice, “What’s wrong with you?”

Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue in a daze. There was no sign of vitality in her eyes, as if she would die at any time.

“Xu Youning!” Mu Sijue’s heart tightened. He ordered, “Answer me!”

“…”

This time, Xu Youning neither obeyed nor disobeyed him.

She closed her eyes powerlessly. While lost in a haze, she seemed to have heard the call of death.

Speaking of which, if she died right then and there, not only would it be worthless, but also too dramatic. It wouldn’t be pleasant at all.

The only thing worth celebrating would probably be that Mu Sijue was by her side.

As she thought of this, a contented smile appeared on Xu Youning’s pale lips.

Mu Sijue didn’t notice this at all.

He considered countless possibilities as he looked at the almost unconscious Xu Youning, all of which left him confounded and panicking.

He only knew that Xu Youning had to be hale.

He had not told her everything. She had to be well.

Mu Sijue casually found his home clothes and used them to dress Xu Youning. He picked her up and said, “Hold on. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

While in a daze, Xu Youning felt that her face was pressed against Mu Sijue’s left chest. She was even able to heart Mu Sijue’s distressed heartbeat.

Was Mu Sijue nervous about her?

Perhaps this realization made Xu Youning feel gratified, or the pain had messed up her reason. She grabbed Mu Sijue’s clothes and complained with a tearful and pitiful tone, “Mu Sijue, it hurts…”

“Hold on.” Mu Sijue held Xu Youning tighter. “We’ll arrive at the hospital soon.”

Xu Youning tilted her head and buried her face in Mu Sijue’s arms. His breath was fully integrated with hers, and she gradually felt relieved.

As far as she recalled, that was the first time he had acted that gentle with her.

She would probably not have any regrets if she were to die that way.

Mu Sijue opened the door, placed Xu Youning in the back seat, and took a cushion so she could use it as a pillow. Once he tried to move to the driver’s seat, he found that Xu Youning was still clutching at his clothes tightly.

He gently took her hand away and said in an unprecedentedly soft voice, “Don’t be afraid. We’ll go to the hospital now.”

Xu Youning seemed to have heard it. She obediently put down her thin hand, letting it drop quietly.

Mu Sijue got out of the car, went back to the driver’s seat and started the engine. The black car cut through the dark night and sped toward the hospital like a hurricane.

His face was darker than the night.

There was clearly something wrong with Xu Youning.

She had hit her head in the car on the way back to the villa from the hospital that day, and it did look painful. However, he had thought she was pretending and warned her not to be making things up.

After that, Xu Youning quieted down. He felt that something was wrong, but she then returned to her usual appearance when he returned to the villa.

That is why he didn’t take it seriously.

If he remembered correctly, Xu Youning had also knocked her head when they had gone upstairs a while before, and then she ended up in such a state.

Was Xu Youning hiding something from him?

Mu Sijue stepped on the gas and rushed to the hospital at full speed. The pain in Xu Youning’s head had lessened before he arrived.

Xu Youning weakly opened her eyes; she felt that the atmosphere in the car was too depressing.

Was it because of her sudden headache?

She managed to sit up, thinking about what Mu Sijue had told her while she was in a daze. “Hold on. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Xu Youning looked out of the car window subconsciously. It was indeed the way to the private hospital.

She could not allow Mu Sijue drive her to the hospital.

Otherwise, everything she had hidden from him would be exposed.

Xu Youning patted the back of the driver’s seat and said, “Mu Sijue…”

Her voice still sounded a little weak.

“Lie down,” Mu Sijue ordered in a deep voice, “Hold on a little longer. We’ll soon get to the hospital.”

“I’m fine,” Xu Youning said weakly, “It’s so late. Don’t go to the hospital. Let’s go back.”

Mu Sijue certainly didn’t believe it. “It didn’t seem that you were fine just now.”

“I’m fine now, really!” Xu Youning explained in a hurry, “I felt uncomfortable because it’s the sequela of the training I went through in the past. I’ll be fine after the pain goes away. Let’s go back. Don’t go to the hospital.”

Xu Youning had been trying to run away since she was taken back to the villa by Mu Sijue.

She was eager to go back?

Mu Sijue noticed that something was wrong, and asked sharply, “You have been working undercover around me for so long, but you never had such symptoms. Why did it suddenly appear now?”

“I…”

Xu Youning was still thinking about how to explain, but Mu Sijue interrupted her coldly, “Are you hiding something from me?”

“No,” Xu Youning subconsciously denied. “I’m telling the truth! Mu Sijue, don’t waste time. Let’s go back.”

No matter what she had to pay, she couldn’t let Mu Sijue discover her secret!

“Whether you’re telling me the truth or not, the doctor will tell me the answer.”

Mu Sijue didn’t show any sign of turning the car around. The black car was like a cheetah running in the forest, rushing to the hospital regardless of anything.

The uneasiness at the bottom of Xu Youning’s heart quickly began to spread, but there was nothing she could do.

While she was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, she noticed the car behind them from the rearview mirror.

Others didn’t know, but she clearly knew that it was Kang Ruicheng’s car, although she didn’t know when it had begun following them. It was obvious that he was planning to pick her up.

Mu Sijue had always been quite defensive. Why didn’t he notice that Kang Ruicheng was behind him this time?

Anyway, it was an opportunity for Xu Youning.

Not only could she get rid of Mu Sijue’s control if she jumped out of the car, but she could also keep the secret this way.

Xu Youning looked at the driver’s seat. She could see Mu Sijue’s cold and handsome profile from her viewpoint, which made her heart skip a beat.

She opened her mouth and called, “Mu Sijue…”

Maybe that would be the last time she called Mu Sijue by his name.

Mu Sijue didn’t notice the underlying meaning in Xu Youning’s voice. He looked back at her unhappily and said, “Didn’t I tell you to lie down? Lie down!”

Xu Youning didn’t speak, quietly finding the handle of the car door with her right hand.

Mu Sijue caught a glimpse of Xu Youning’s movement and realized what she was going to do. He subconsciously stepped on the brake and shouted, “Xu Youning!”

Xu Youning pretended that she didn’t hear him. She made up her mind, pushed the door open and decisively jumped out of the car.

Although the car had already slowed down, she still unavoidably scratched her arms and calves after she jumped out; she could even feel warm blood soak her clothes and pants.

She didn’t have time to care about it and quickly got up. Kang Ruicheng’s car just stopped beside her, and the door beside the passenger’s seat had been pushed open for her.

She couldn’t help looking back at Mu Sijue. For a while, she thought she had an illusion.

She saw Mu Sijue standing by the car door, still in the posture of chasing after her. The street lights lit up his look of great shock and disbelief. She didn’t know if there was anger or heartbreak in his dark eyes.

The dim yellow light stretched his lonely figure, stiff and disappointed.

When they inadvertently met each other’s eyes, Xu Youning felt as if her heart had been stabbed viciously by a knife. The sharp pain overwhelmed her, roaring and drowning her in the deep sea of pain.

She had a feeling that Mu Sijue’s pain was no less than hers at that moment.

“But, how could it be possible?”

Mu Sijue would only be angry if she ran away. Why would he be sad?

Xu Youning made up her mind, sat in the passenger’s seat, and decisively said, “Let’s go!”

“Xu Youning!”

Mu Sijue called a person’s name in such a frenzy for the first time in his life, but that person didn’t care about him at all; she didn’t even look back at him.

There were still a lot of answers he needed to hear from Xu Youning. He couldn’t let her go!

Mu Sijue got in the car. As soon as he started the car and was about to chase after Xu Youning, Kang Ruicheng’s men drove their cars over and blocked his way. He could only watch Kang Ruicheng’s car drive farther and farther away through the windshield.

His cell phone rang when he was thinking of a way to deal with this. It was Ah Guang’s call.

Once he answered the phone, Ah Guang said in a hurried voice, “Seventh Brother, hurry back! Kang Ruicheng was informed that you were outside, so he took people to the villa in person. He wanted to take Sister Youning away while you were not here! Jie and the others are no match for Kang Ruicheng. Hurry back!”

“…”

Mu Sijue didn’t speak.

Xu Youning had noticed that Kang Ruicheng’s car was following them as they drove to the hospital, didn’t she?

That was why she had been so decisive to jump out of the car.

But he was actually worried that she would get hurt.

He really was… a joke.

After not hearing Mu Sijue’s reply for a long time, Ah Guang couldn’t help suspecting he had not gotten through. He looked at his phone screen, which showed that he had indeed been talking to Mu Sijue.

“Seventh Brother?” Ah Guang asked in doubt.

Mu Sijue said slowly, “Xu Youning is gone.”
