Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 726 What’s Wrong with Kissing You? If You Have the Ability, Kiss Me!

Before they knew it, the sun had begun to set.

For no reason, Xiao Yunyun always felt that the autumn evening was bleaker, more open, painful, and elegant than the other seasons’.

Perhaps it was because of the withered yellow leaves, or because of the sunset glow which was beautiful but was about to soon vanish.

When the clock struck half past five in the afternoon, the door of the ward was knocked. Then, Su Yicheng came in.

For Su Yicheng, Luo Xiaoxi was like a strong magnet. No matter where she was, he could always find her first, and focused on her.

Upon seeing Su Yicheng, Luo Xiaoxi didn’t say anything, but the happy smile showed in her eyes couldn’t be concealed at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunyun deliberately asked, “Cousin, why do you come here so early? Aren’t you busy at the company?”

“…” After a while, Su Yicheng looked away from Luo Xiaoxi and then said to Xiao Yunyun, “It’s never early to come to see you.”

Xiao Yunyun curled her lips and said, “Don’t think I didn’t see that you’ve been staring at my cousin-in-law since you came in. You don’t care about me at all…”

After being debunked, Su Yicheng did not feel guilty. On the contrary, he looked calmer and said leisurely, “Since you’ve seen it, I’ll tell you the truth—I’m here to pick up your cousin-in-law home.”

Xiao Yunyun turned her head and said, “Just go.”

She was not jealous.

Yeah, she was not jealous at all.

“Are you angry?” Luo Xiaoxi smiled and said, “We can have dinner with you before leaving.”

“Have dinner…?”

Speaking of that, Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help thinking of Shen Yuechuan and raising the corner of her mouth slightly. Obviously, she was looking forward to it.

She waved at Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi. “No need, no need. Just go now.”

Su Yicheng was a little surprised by the change in her attitude. He was about to ask her when Luo Xiaoxi touched his hand quietly. They had a tacit understanding, so he took back his question and said, “We’re really leaving.”

Xiao Yunyun nodded with a smile. “I’m temporarily partly paralyzed, so I won’t see you off.”

After leaving the ward, Su Yicheng asked Luo Xiaoxi, “Do you know why?”

“Of course I know,” Luo Xiaoxi said briefly, “after we left at noon, Yuechuan brought food to Yunyun. I fed all the takeaway food I brought back to the stray cats.”

Su Yicheng hesitated for a moment before slowly telling her his guess. “Yunyun is waiting for Yuechuan to come?”

“It’s probably like that.” Luo Xiaoxi sighed and said, “I really hope there will be a reversal.”

However, the truth was completely revealed before them, and they couldn’t deny it at all.

The reversal… wasn’t something that would appear as long as they hoped.

Unless there was a great driven force.

After Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi left, Xiao Yunyun had been staring at the clock on the wall. After the clock finally stroke six, she stared at her cell phone again.

Su Yicheng just came back from a business trip today, and yet he could get off work so early. Shen Yuechuan… had no reason to get off work too late, right?

But why hadn’t he come yet?

Xiao Yunyun lay down, sat up, lay down, and sat up again… After repeating the motions dozens of times, she finally couldn’t help sending a message to Shen Yuechuan.

—”If you don’t come soon, I’m going to starve to death! [Sad] [Sad]”

After the message was sent, Xiao Yunyun never looked away from the phone screen. To her disappointment, Shen Yuechuan didn’t reply for a long time.

“Ahh!”

Xiao Yunyun let out a cry as if she was venting, and put her phone on the bed with the screen facing down. After a while, she picked it up, but Shen Yuechuan still did not reply.

She finally tasted the feeling of loss—in a split second, her rapid heartbeat slowed down, and she lost interest in everything. Everything in the world became boring and dull.

Shen Yuechuan was the only one who could cheer her up again. But there was no news from him, no news from him…

Xiao Yunyun threw the cell phone away and kept sighing like an old man, until the door of the ward was pushed open and Shen Yuechuan came in with a few boxes of takeout food.

Happiness came as a surprise. Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes and confirmed that it was really Shen Yuechuan. She grinned as if she were the blooming flowers in the sea of flowers, bright and lively.

Shen Yuechuan couldn’t help being stunned.

Sometimes, he really suspected that there was sunshine collected in Xiao Yunyun’s eyes. Otherwise, how could he think of “protecting” her when she smiled?

He wanted to protect her smile, her innocence and happiness, and the rest of her life.

Unfortunately, that was only his wish.

Right now, he couldn’t even protect himself.

Shen Yuechuan covered up all his softness and rapid heartbeat, put down the meal box, and said, “Didn’t you say that you were going to starve to death? Have dinner.”

Regardless of her hunger, Xiao Yunyun held her chin and looked at Shen Yuechuan. “What were you doing when you received my message?”

Shen Yuechuan obviously didn’t want to answer. He placed the portable table in front of Xiao Yunyun, put the food on the table one by one, and repeated saying in a lukewarm tone, “Have dinner.”

Seeing his look, Xiao Yunyun was even more determined about her speculation. She forced a smile at him and said, “When the message arrived, you were already preparing the takeout food, weren’t you?”

She was right.

After work, Shen Yuechuan couldn’t help driving to the restaurant as if he had been enchanted. He ordered a few of Xiao Yunyun’s favorite dishes and asked them to pack up the food.

When he left the restaurant, he received Xiao Yunyun’s message. He first felt incredible—why was Xiao Yunyun so sure that he would send her food?

At that moment, the boxes in his hand became a kind of irony.

Xiao Yunyun was right. He not only prepared dinner for her, but also specially ordered her favorite food.

Did she sense anything?

Because of this speculation, Shen Yuechuan could only make himself look indifferent.

“It’s because of me that you had a car accident. I should be responsible for taking care of you,” Shen Yuechuan said coldly, “after you recover and are discharged from the hospital, I won’t look after you anymore.”

Xiao Yunyun blinked at him as if she hadn’t heard his words. “Come here.”

Shen Yuechuan was caught off guard and leaned over in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

“Mwah!”

Xiao Yunyun suddenly kissed Shen Yuechuan on the face.

Shen Yuechuan only felt that something warm touched his cheek. When he reacted, Xiao Yunyun’s laughter had already sounded in his ear.

He looked at Xiao Yunyun in a daze—she was as happy as a child who had secretly got candies. The smile on her face was even brighter than just now, which made her look more attractive.

All of a sudden, his heart softened uncontrollably.

The next second, Shen Yuechuan realized that this was not the reaction he should have had.

She was going too farther and farther. If he continued to pamper her, things would only get out of control.

Soon, anger showed up on Shen Yuechuan’s face. He looked at Xiao Yunyun gloomily, but Xiao Yunyun was not scared at all. She pursed her lips and asked, “Are you angry?”

“Xiao Yunyun.” Shen Yuechuan gnashed his teeth. “Do you think I’ve been too kind to you these days?”

“Are you really angry?” Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes and said to herself, “What should you do? Why don’t you… give me a kiss back?”

“…” Shen Yuechuan helplessly realized that he was wrong.

Xiao Yunyun behaved more excessively than he had imagined. She looked as if he couldn’t do anything to her.

If it went on like this, Shen Yuechuan was afraid that he would get out of the control of reason.

Shen Yuechuan’s face clouded. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out. Xiao Yunyun stopped him in time. “Shen Yuechuan, come back.”

“…” Shen Yuechuan didn’t show any sign of turning around.

Xiao Yunyun anxiously threatened. “Believe it or not, I’ll cry right away!”

Shen Yuechuan turned around angrily and glared at Xiao Yunyun. “What on earth do you want from me?”

“I want to hear you tell the truth.” Xiao Yunyun calmly looked into Shen Yuechuan’s eyes. “You must have hidden something from me or lied to me. I’ll give you a chance. Tell me the truth.”

Shen Yuechuan asked in amusement, “What kind of truth do you want to hear from me?”

“Tell me, do you like me or not?” Xiao Yunyun said stubbornly, “remember, I want to listen to the ‘truth’.”

“The truth?”

For Shen Yuechuan, these two words were ridiculous. He mustn’t say them out.

Otherwise, everything would be out of control, and be messier and more complicated than it was now.

“The truth is—I don’t like you.” Before Xiao Yunyun could question him, Shen Yuechuan warned, “So, you’d better stop messing around.”

Xiao Yunyun fearlessly tilted her head. “What if I continue to ‘mess around’?”

“I’ll send you back to Australia.” Shen Yuechuan narrowed his eyes and said, “I’m not joking with you.”

“All right.” Xiao Yunyun pretended to compromise. “Then you answer my last question—have you really loved Lin Zhixia?”

Shen Yuechuan avoided Xiao Yunyun’s gaze. “It’s my business. It has nothing to do with you.”

“Rogue’s logic.” Xiao Yunyun couldn’t help complaining, “If your business has nothing to do with me, then what right do you have to care about me and send me back to Australia?”

“You don’t want me to care about you?” Shen Yuechuan smiled and said, “Very good. Let’s meet again after you’re discharged from the hospital.” After that, he pretended to leave.

Only then did Xiao Yunyun realize that she had got herself into trouble. She quickly grabbed Shen Yuechuan and said, “I allow you to care about me from time to time. I won’t mess around anymore. Don’t go.”

Shen Yuechuan was mollified finally, and he said in a still stiff tone, “Have dinner!”

Xiao Yunyun suddenly had an idea. She smiled and said, “Aren’t you going to care about me? Feed me!” Seeing that Shen Yuechuan’s face darkened, she continued, “You can’t be too overbearing. If you have the right, you have to perform your duty!”

“…”

Shen Yuechuan picked up the spoon and thought to himself, “One day, I’ll find a way to deal with Xiao Yunyun.”

Xiao Yunyun polished off the soup and dishes. She was very cooperative during the whole process. In the end, she stared at Shen Yuechuan with a smile, as if she had other plans.

Suddenly, she raised her head, as if she were going to kiss Shen Yuechuan. But the latter reacted quickly and avoided it in time.

Xiao Yunyun laughed out loud. She held her chin with one hand and said leisurely, “I was trying to scare you, coward.”

She didn’t know why Shen Yuechuan tried to avoid the question if he had been really in love with Lin Zhixia, but she knew that Shen Yuechuan didn’t tell the truth.

It meant that Shen Yuechuan probably didn’t tell the truth about whether he liked her or not either.

Well, she had kissed Shen Yuechuan today, and she could think of ways to go further in the future.

She didn’t believe that Shen Yuechuan could keep his mouth shut even if she used all her skills!

In a spirit of fighting, Xiao Yunyun took out her cell phone and sharply found a report related to her. She clicked on it and felt that she had found a big secret. She couldn’t help staring at Shen Yuechuan…

“Hmph, I’ll see how Shen Yuechuan denies it this time!”
