Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 1158 A Man of Flesh and Blood

In the children’s room.

Aunt Liu walked to the door of the room and saw Bai Tang in the room. She politely knocked on the door and called Su Jian’an.

“Madam.”

Hearing her voice, Su Jian’an subconsciously looked back and saw Aunt Liu. She smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“The food is ready,” Aunt Liu said, “you can go downstairs to eat. I’ll take care of Xiyu and Xiangyi.”

Su Jian’an nodded, kissed Xiangyi’s face, and put the little girl on the cot. “I’m going downstairs for lunch. Be good.”

“Mm!”

Xiangyi looked straight at Su Jian’an with her black eyes. Her voice sounded a little aggrieved, but she still obediently did not cry.

Bai Tang really liked this little girl and was reluctant to part with her. “Can’t we carry her down to eat with us?”

“Sure.” Su Jian’an asked jokingly, “But… will you hold her?”

“Me?” Bai Tang was a little tempted, but then he remembered that the little girl didn’t like him at all. He said in a low voice, “I’d better find a way to deal with her first.”

Su Jian’an gave Bai Tang an encouraging look. “Good luck.”

Bai Tang fiddled with his hair and said confidently, “I’m usually loved by people of all ages. What happened this time was purely an accident. Next time, I will definitely succeed!”

Su Jian’an was speechless.

Looking at Bai Tang’s confident look, she felt that she didn’t need to comfort him.

Su Jian’an walked out and saw Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue standing on the small balcony at a glance.

Mu Sijue’s back had a kind of heartbreaking loneliness.

If Youning saw it, she would be very sad, wouldn’t she?

Su Jian’an adjusted herself and walked over to knock on the door.

Lu Boyan could tell from the frequency of knocking that it was Su Jian’an. He looked back and found that it was indeed her.

He opened the door and walked back, looking at Su Jian’an. “What’s wrong?”

“Lunch is ready.” Su Jian’an looked at Mu Sijue and called him, “Sijue, let’s go downstairs together.”

Mu Sijue replied with an “okay”. There was no obvious emotion in his voice, but there was no resistance.

With him acting that way, Su Jian’an was already satisfied.

Lu Boyan habitually held her hand, and their shoulders were close to each other. There was no need for any talking, but the intimacy between them had naturally been revealed.

Mu Sijue looked at the beautiful couple in front of him and was a little absent-minded.

He and Xu Youning could have been the same as Su Jian’an and Lu Boyan.

However, they did not.

Most of the blames were attributed to him.

The more Mu Sijue thought about it, the more absent-minded he became, and he slowed down unconsciously.

Su Jian’an kept talking to Lu Boyan. They only had eyes for each other and did not notice Mu Sijue’s abnormality at all.

Bai Tang, the loner, noticed Mu Sijue and couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

He walked over and put his hand on Mu Sijue’s shoulder. “Mu Qi, do you know how you look now?”

Mu Sijue didn’t bother to look at Bai Tang. He said coldly, “Can you get out of my way?”

Bai Tang chose to play dumb and waved his hand. “No, no, that’s not the point. The point is that you look like a mess!”

Mu Sijue didn’t say anything.

For the first time, he knew that Bai Tang, a bizarre police graduate, could hit the nail on the head.

He paused, lowered his head slightly, and said with a self-deprecating smile, “I am a mess.”

The one he cared about the most was going through hell in the old house of the Kang family.

Bai Tang had stayed in country A for a few years. Not only had he mastered all kinds of flirting skills, but he had also learned to speak frankly.

Mu Sijue was beating around the bush. In fact, he didn’t quite understand what Mu Sijue meant.

However, he was very sure that he had never seen Mu Sijue like this.

The man Mu Sijue was in Bai Tang’s impression was cold and arrogant, but there was kindness hidden in him.

He was good at using violence and could kill a person without hesitation.

However, he was not a bloodthirsty person, and he would never hurt innocent people.

God gave him a handsome and deep face. He could obviously make a living with his appearance, but he forcibly covered his facial features with aloofness. He exuded a sense of indifference from a long distance. He was dark and mysterious, like a handsome Asura, making people tremble while attracting people to approach him.

There were so many women trying to get him, but no one had ever won Mu Sijue’s heart.

Bai Tang even wondered if Mu Sijue was cold-blooded.

Now he knew that Mu Sijue was not cold-blooded. He just had not met the person who could make his blood race yet.

Until one day, Xu Youning openly broke into his life.

Later, they fell in love with each other, and Mu Sijue had all the emotions and desires of a mortal.

Mu Sijue hadn’t expected that Xu Youning would make him in love so much that he could abandon everything for her.

Bai Tang was very curious about what kind of girl Xu Youning was.

Thinking of this, Bai Tang patted Mu Sijue on the shoulder and asked, “Do you regret it?”

Mu Sijue came to his senses, and the coldness he had used to disguise himself had returned to his face. It covered his facial features little by little, and his voice became particularly cold. “I regret it.”

“Hah!” Bai Tang laughed. “I knew it!”

If Mu Sijue hadn’t fallen in love with Xu Youning, he wouldn’t have been in so much pain. He would still be the man who didn’t care about any woman. He was mysterious and powerful, and countless people were willing to follow him for the rest of their lives.

Bai Tang was not surprised at all that Mu Sijue regretted it.

Mu Sijue continued without warning, “I regret that I didn’t express my love to her earlier.”

During this period, Mu Sijue often thought that if he hadn’t tested Xu Youning but had made it clear that Kang Ruicheng was the murderer and expressed his feelings for her on the day of Granny Xu’s death, at least Xu Youning wouldn’t have been so desperate and helpless, nor would she have decided to return to Mu Sijue to avenge Granny Xu on her own.

Mu Sijue had let go of many things by himself, and he had to spend more effort to find them.

However, after this time, he would never let go of Xu Youning’s hand so easily.

Bai Tang looked at Mu Sijue in shock and was stunned.

He suddenly hoped that a bolt of lightning would strike him hard so that he could tell if this was an illusion or reality.

“Mu Sijue regrets it? And he regrets that he didn’t confess his love to a woman earlier?”

Bai Tang punched Mu Sijue in the chest and said, “Congratulations! Unfortunately, you’re now a man of flesh and blood. By the way, Xu Youning is the catalyst of your reborn.”

Mu Sijue stared at Bai Tang, revealing a dangerous aura. “Bai Tang, how many times have you been beaten since you were a child?”

Mu Sijue was just curious-Bai Tang’s words were so annoying. How did he manage to survive until now?

“I’m sorry to disappoint you.” Bai Tang shrugged. “In fact, no one dared to beat me. Brat, I was a wild kid when I was young, okay?”

Mu Sijue said coldly, “You should be glad that we were not in the same city when we were kids.”

Bai Tang didn’t say anything.

He thought for a while and realized that he had been threatened by Mu Sijue.

“Mu Sijue is so not sensible.

“We didn’t live in the same city when we were kids, and that was his loss!

“If we had known each other since childhood, I would have taught him how to hold on to love so that he would become cold-blooded!”

Mu Sijue ignored Bai Tang and went straight downstairs.

Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an were both in the dining room, and Su Jian’an was serving soup.

Bai Tang and Mu Sijue quickly sat down. Bai Tang rubbed his hands against the dishes on the table. “This looks delicious. Boyan, do you have a great chef in your house?”

“Mr. Bai,” Uncle Xu said with a smile, “the food today was made by Mrs. Lu herself.”

Before Bai Tang could exclaim, Lu Boyan had already frowned and looked at Su Jian’an. “Didn’t I tell you to rest?”

“I merely stir-fried a few dishes.” Su Jian’an motioned for Lu Boyan to rest assured. “I’m fine.”

Bai Tang was right across from Lu Boyan. Naturally, he did not miss his nervous look. He could not help complaining, “Boyan, do you have to be that cautious?”

Lu Boyan glanced at Bai Tang and ordered coldly, “Shut up.”

“Well, let’s eat.” Su Jian’an tried to smooth things over. “Try the food and see if you like it.”

Bai Tang had never stood on ceremony. He picked up a piece of Braised Pork with his cutlery.

The large pieces of meat had been stewed soft while the sauce had seeped into the meat. When he took a bite, the aroma of the meat and the sauce burst out in his mouth.

Bai Tang felt that he was not having meat but a taste of happiness.

The lady he admired was so perfect that he did not dare to pursue her.

Bai Tang reminisced for a long time. He then slowly opened his eyes and looked at Su Jian’an. “Do you have any sisters?”

“Yes.” Su Jian’an thought of Yunyun, nodded, and asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”

Bai Tang made a gesture of “please”. “Can you introduce your sister to me? I really want to know her!”

Bai Tang’s logic was very simple. Since Su Jian’an was so wonderful, her sister would not be bad, right?

He did not dare to pursue Su Jian’an, but if he could date someone who was like Su Jian’an, he could deal with it.

“I’m sorry.” Su Jian’an smiled. “My sister is married. By the way, Yuechuan is her husband.”

“Yuechuan?” Bai Tang poked the food on his plate gloomily. “Isn’t he sick? How did he manage to get married? By the way, I need to visit him later. Is it convenient for you to give me the address of the hospital?”

Su Jian’an wrote down the address of the hospital on a note and handed it to Bai Tang. “Just go according to this address.”

Bai Tang took the note and looked at Su Jian’an’s handwriting. Sure enough, it was elegant and graceful.

He made a salute to Su Jian’an. “Thank you.” Then, he turned to look at Lu Boyan. “Remember to inform your men of my visit.”

Bai Tang knew Lu Boyan’s style too well.

If he guessed correctly, the hospital where Yuechuan stayed must have been equipped with strong security forces. It was impossible for him to enter easily unless Lu Boyan had informed his men first.

After lunch, Bai Tangsheng praised Su Jian’an’s cooking. Then, he didn’t stay any longer and left directly.

Mu Sijue also had something to do, so he followed Bai Tang and left.

Su Jian’an deliberately paid attention to Mu Sijue. After his car left, she looked at Lu Boyan and said, “Sijue seems to be in a much better mood.”

Lu Boyan knew the reason. On the balcony just now, he told Mu Sijue that no matter what happened on the day of the banquet, he would definitely see Xu Youning.

For Mu Sijue, even if he just glanced at Xu Youning, it would be a comfort.

However, this wasn’t good news for Lu Boyan as he felt sad for Mu Sijue.

He thought that Mu Sijue could have had more.
