Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 522 Su Jianan’s Rival in Love (1)

Xiao Yunyun was skilled at adjusting her own condition. She quickly covered the depression in her heart and presented a smile on her face.

She pouted to Shen Yuechuan and said, “No matter what you promised to others, saving me was just a simple thing.”

Shen Yuechuan crossed his arms in front of his chest and casually looked up and down at Xiao Yunyun. “Your behavior will make me misunderstand that you really appreciate me a lot.”

Xiao Yunyun looked into Shen Yuechuan’s eyes and said directly, “I do.”

“…” Shen Yuechuan stopped and didn’t know what to say.

Xiao Yunyun continued frankly, “Although I don’t like any of the things you did before, I really have to thank you this time. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I would have been helpless against Zhong Lue. And I can’t imagine… what would have happened next.”

Shen Yuechuan revealed an unexpected mysterious smile and said, “So you were also scared of death.”

“…” Xiao Yunyun opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she finally stopped herself.

She wasn’t scared of death.

She just rejected any other men except for Shen Yuechuan.

But if she said such a thing directly, would Shen Yuechuan laugh to death?

“Stop talking about that. I’ll buy the medicine for you.” Then Xiao Yunyun turned around to go outside.

“Wait a minute,” Shen Yuechuan pointed at the dress Xiao Yunyun wore and said, “Do you want to buy the medicine while dressed like that?”

Xiao Yunyun lowered her head to look at herself. The tube top dress that barely covered her knees looked grand and sexy. It was really improper to buy medicine in that attire.

She shrugged. “But I don’t have any other clothes to wear.”

Shen Yuechuan quickly took off the overcoat of his suit and covered Xiao Yunyun’s slim shoulders with it. “Let’s go. I’ll go there with you.”

Xiao Yunyun just felt the warmth surrounding her back and shoulders. She unconsciously pulled the coat closer and smelled the slight perfume, which was the same Shen Yuechuan was wearing that evening.

She didn’t know whether it was out of greed or perversion. But she subconsciously pulled the clothes tighter.

She had known Shen Yuechuan for a long time. Except for the unexpected kiss on the island, she had no other intimate interaction with him. Even a hug would be impossible for her to think about.

This time, she could consider this as if Shen Yuechuan were hugging her from the back.

“What are you doing?” Shen Yuechuan urged, “Let’s go.”

Xiao Yunyun caught the collar in case it would fall down and followed Shen Yuechuan. She asked, “Is it all right for you to leave? It’s such a grand wedding with so many guests. The best men must have some sort of duties.”

Shen Yuechuan took a look at the crowd-laden garden and smiled. “You cousin won’t stop me if he knows I am with you.”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t know the reason why Shen Yuechuan was so confident and murmured, “He definitely won’t stop you. He will only ask someone to beat you up!”

Shen Yuechuan lifted his eyebrows. “Even if your cousin tries to do that, will you let that happen?”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t hesitate at all as she replied, “Your life has nothing to do with me. Does my willingness matter?”

Shen Yuechuan felt hurt. “You’re a heartless wicked girl. I ran to save you at the speed I use when I’m racing.”

Xiao Yunyun would only see that racing word as a metaphor. But there was one thing that she was really curious about—

“I told the girl to find someone. She knew who I was, since she called me Miss Xiao. But why did she look for you instead of my cousin?”

She was Su Yicheng’s cousin. Being the case, the waitress should have looked for Su Yicheng to save her. Shen Yuechuan shouldn’t have been the first choice.

But why was Shen Yuechuan was the one who came in the end?”

The reason was simple—even the waitress could feel Shen Yuechuan treated Xiao Yunyun differently.

But if he told her the truth, Shen Yuechuan could foresee that he would be subject to another thrashing. So, he found a good excuse for himself. “Lu Boyan owns this hotel and I always deal with the cooperative companies in the hotel so I’m pretty familiar with the staff. What happened then was an emergency. If you were the waitress, who will you look for to deal with it?”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t care about the complete answer he gave. She just focused on the first sentence. “You mean, you’re very familiar with that waitress?”

Shen Yuechuan didn’t expect Xiao Yunyun to focus on that. He raised his lips and said, “Well, are you jealous?”

Then Xiao Yunyun realized she was a bit jealous.

“But only idiots would admit that! Hum!”

Finally, Xiao Yunyun chose to cover it up. “No wonder she looked for you. You were already familiar with each other.”

Shen Yuechuan found that Xiao Yunyun had misunderstood and he tried to explain, “It’s not what you think…”

Xiao Yunyun lifted her hand as a signal for Shen Yuechuan to stop talking and she said casually, “I don’t mind what kind of relationship you two have. I just want to know where the nearest drugstore is.”

Seeing his explanation frustrated, Shen Yuechuan could only take Xiao Yunyun to the nearest drugstore first.

Once they entered the store, Xiao Yunyun skillfully named a few types of medicine and grabbed some bandages and gauze. Then she paid off the check and passed the stuff to Shen Yuechuan. “Don’t forget to take it home.”

Shen Yuechuan took over the plastic bag, then she looked at Xiao Yunyun delightedly and asked, “When will you change the bandages for me?”

Xiao Yunyun didn’t know if she had heard it wrong. Shen Yuechuan seemed to be looking forward to it.

She didn’t think much of it. Instead, she just ignored Shen Yuechuan’s strangeness in the way she had been used to. Then she looked professional and said, “After the wedding, I will go back home after I treat the wound again. You won’t have to refresh it again today. Just remember to keep it dry. As for tomorrow… we can talk about it later!”

Then they walked out of the drugstore and went back to the bustling hotel. She felt particularly happy.

Maybe it was because she knew for sure that she could see Shen Yuechuan on the next day.

When she thought seriously about it, she had known Shen Yuechuan for a while, but she and Shen Yuechuan basically wouldn’t see each other in private except for the encounter at Lu Boyan’s house and the few days spent on the island.

There was a period when all of Lu Enterprises was extremely busy. Most of the times she visited Su Jianan with a little expectation, she didn’t run into Shen Yuechuan “by accident” and had to go home disappointed.

She still remembered that disappointed feeling. It was as if seeing that her favorite toy in the shop window had been bought by someone else when she was little. It wasn’t a big deal. But it made her world become grey. She didn’t want to talk or do anything. She just wanted to think about Shen Yuechuan.

At that time, she was really crazily… missing him.

But at the moment she was pretty sure that she could see Shen Yuechuan on the next day.

Um, how could she be unhappy?

Right then, Shen Yuechuan caught up with Xiao Yunyun from behind. “I have a question for you.”

Xiao Yunyun allowed it generously. “Just say it.”

“You clearly knew that you couldn’t handle Zhong Lue and you didn’t know the waitress at the hotel. Why did you help her?” Shen Yuechuan said, “Under such circumstances, the best thing to do is to call security.”

Xiao Yunyun thought about it and said, “I always want to be a hero! When I run into situations like that, I don’t have the time to call security. I can only be a hero and protecting her myself!”

Shen Yuechuan smiled. “Really?”

Of course not.

Xiao Yunyun had been through the horrible training of the medical academy. No matter how much the patients were in pain, she could also handle their problems and cure their wounds firmly. In that case, she definitely knew that calling security was the best choice.

But she just couldn’t forget the way Zhong Lue joked about Shen Yuechuan.

She could laugh at Shen Yuechuan as loudly as she wanted to but others couldn’t, not to mention Zhong Lue was a hundred times worse than Shen Yuechuan!

Therefore, she was actually defending Shen Yuechuan, rather than helping that waitress. After all, she had Su Yicheng and Lu Boyan to rely on. She could easily get half of Zhong Lue’s life easily so she wasn’t afraid at all.

But it would surely sound stupid if she said it out loud, and she might even be laughed at by Shen Yuechuan.

So, it was better to make him think of her as a chivalrous girl.

Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun went back to the hotel and ran into the waitress who was showing Shen Yuechuan’s bunch of friends out. The girl looked troubled and Shen Yuechuan’s friends were stretching their wrists and spines, looking refreshed.

It wasn’t difficult to imagine Zhong Lue’s condition.

Seeing Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun coming back together, the bunch of friends all looked at Shen Yuechuan vaguely and the girl rushed directly to him, “Thank you, Special Assistant Shen!”

“No need to mention it,” Shen Yuechuan smiled and said, “Just like Boss Lu said, it’s the company’s duty to protect you.”

The girl smiled brightly and then looked at Xiao Yunyun. “Miss Xiao, I also have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, that bastard might have done something to me.”

“Don’t be so polite,” Xiao Yunyun waved her hand and said, “I also have the responsibility to protect you on behalf of my cousin-in-law!”

The girl heard the words and vaguely glanced at the couple. Then she raised her lips and said, “Enjoy the rest of the evening. I’ll get back to work.”

The waitress just left and someone called Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun, “Where were you? Come here, you two are necessary in the game!”

Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun had to walk over and a man sharply noticed that Shen Yuechuan’s clothes were on Xiao Yunyun’s shoulders. The man joked, “Yuechuan, you’re so warm!”

Then Xiao Yunyun realized she was still wearing his coat. She didn’t know whether to take it off and leave it there or how to explain. She just flushed badly.

At last, Luo Xiaoxi came along and dragged Xiao Yunyun away.

Xiao Yunyun pouted and was extremely worried. “Sis, I want to explain…”

Luo Xiaoxi interrupted Xiao Yunyun, “I know the reason. Yuechuan’s coat is on your shoulders because it can’t be on any other woman’s shoulders except for you. I’m not interested in this kind of gossip. I need you to help me with something—watch a woman for me.”

“Which woman?” Xiao Yunyun stared with eyes wide open and asked, “Is she your rival in love?”

Luo Xiaoxi said seriously, “It’s your cousin’s rival in love!”
