A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 444 - Jianan, I Envy You

Chapter 444 Jianan, I Envy You

Too many things had happened during that period of time. Xu Youning had forgotten for how long she hadn’t seen Su Jianan.

The last time she had seen her was in A City. Because of her serious car accident she had encountered and the strong morning sickness Su Jianan had, they were in the same hospital.

A few months pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Su Jianan seemed to be the same as before, but also seemed to be very different—

She was plumper than before. She seemed to have put on weight showing on her face, but her legs were as slim as ever. That was probably why her curves and shape remained exquisite, not affected by the pregnancy. Even when she lost her slender waist, she was still attractive.

That’s when Xu Youning knew that there were some people who could stay beautiful whenever.

Su Jianan’s pregnancy was quite visible. Her loose maternity dress couldn’t cover up her big belly. Two small lives were growing inside her body.

She held Lu Boyan’s hand and stood with Lu Boyan side by side under a Camphor tree, with a faint smile on her face. She was elegant and lovable, like a clear stream in the valley, which was irresistible to people but also intimidating because of her purity.

Xu Youning thought, “This is the woman!”

Perhaps, only that kind of woman could make a man like Lu Boyan be so committed wholeheartedly.

A month before, gossip reporter wrote an article. It was said that since Su Jianan was pregnant, Lu Boyan rarely appeared in social occasions, even though there were countless models and celebrities waiting for him.

Lu Boyan barely worked overtime. According to his secretary, Lu Boyan did his work efficiently every day. The closer to the day that Su Jianan labored, the more likely he came home on time.

A man, who was powerful in the business sector and attractive among the women, didn’t have a scandal when his wife became pregnant. Also, he rejected every scenario that may cause rumors.

The article was widespread, and there were all kinds of t.i.tles, such as “This Is A How A Rich Man Should Be”, “A Role Model Of A High-quality Man” and so on. Countless women were drooling and made the announcement that they were gonna steal Su Jianan’s man.

The reporter who wrote the article said one thing and threw the wet blanket on those women. “This is a man who has been protecting and staying with Su Jianan with all his heart for 15 years. He’s not the kind of man that you can steal.”

After reading that article, Xu Youning envied Su Jianan for once.

But, just envied.

Unlike Su Jianan, she deserved no happiness. She was destined to be alienated.

Xu Youning didn’t allow herself to think further. She smiled and went straight to Su Jianan.

On the way, a sharp pain hit her in the forehead without warning.

For a moment, it seemed that there were countless sharp knives stirring in her mind. She had a splitting headache and everything in front of her was becoming blurry.

But before she could cry out in pain, the sharp ache suddenly disappeared; Xu Youning covered her temple, feeling confused.

Su Jianan saw Xu Youning’s expression. She walked over and asked, “Youning, what’s wrong with you?”

Xu Youning put down her hand and shook her head with a smile. “Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something.” She scanned Su Jianan carefully, pursed her lips and pointed at her belly. “Are the two little fellas going to be born soon?”

“There are only two months left before the due date.” Su Jianan stroked her belly subconsciously. “You will be able to see them soon.”

Two months…

Xu Youning didn’t know if she still had enough time, so she changed the topic. “Are they boys or girls?”

“I didn’t ask the doctor.” Su Jianan smiled happily with curved eyebrows. “In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they are boys or girls. We love them either way.”

Xu Youning nodded in agreement. Having the twins was already a huge surprise. Who cares what gender they were?

At that time, Lu Boyan came from behind and naturally reached out to Su Jianan, putting his arm around her, “Let’s go to where we live first.”

Xu Youning smiled and nodded to Lu Boyan as a way of greeting.

In the end, she felt that Lu Boyan was the one who had changed the most.

When she knew that Lu Boyan had a good relations.h.i.+p with Mu Sijue, she had looked into him. She knew how indifferent and decisive the man had been.

However, after getting married with Su Jianan for more than a year, he seemed to have more patience and softness to the world.

Or maybe, when he was with Su Jianan, he would show more of his patience and tenderness.

Su Jianan turned and looked at Lu Boyan. The sun shone on her and brightened up her milky skin. “You go get the luggage. I will take Youning there.”

“Okay.” Lu Boyan loosened his grip on Su Jianan’s waist. “Be careful.”

Su Jianan nodded and held Xu Youning’s hand. “Let’s go. Yuechuan said that the houses they designed for this island are very special. Let’s go and have a look.”

Xu Youning was curious, “Boss Lu… Isn’t he busy? Why would you come for a vacation?”

“Ever since I was pregnant, I was either at home or in the hospital. Maybe he thinks that I was bored for too long and needed to go out and catch some fresh air.” Su Jianan walked at a modest pace, and smiled relaxingly, “Just as the development project of this island had just finished, he took me to experience it first, as he could also use this as a break.”

Xu Youning glanced around. The environment of the island was very casual and the design was elegant. The blue sky above her head seemed to be specially decorated so as to match the scenery. It was as blue as the ocean and the clouds floated over gently like cotton. It was indeed a good place for relaxation.

But she couldn’t be as relaxed as Su Jianan.

Her old grandmother, the uncertain future, the danger that could erupt at any time… Those were like bombs on her, and he didn’t know when they would explode.

“Jianan,” Xu Youning said, almost from the bottom of her heart. “I envy you.”

She wasn’t envious that Su Jianan had a brother who loved her that much, nor was she envious that Su Jianan had a husband who was willing to give everything for her; she was envious of Su Jianan’s normal life.

She couldn’t even have a normal life. How could she be happy?

Su Jianan didn’t know why Xu Youning suddenly said that. She subconsciously frowned and said, “If you knew what I have experienced, you wouldn’t be envious of me.”

She had suddenly lost her mother, at the age when she needed maternal love the most. The so-called “home” fell apart overnight. She had once fallen into despair.

Because she didn’t give up her life, Lu Boyan and her could get together.

Either happiness or despair, they all arrived from a reason.

Xu Youning couldn’t tell anyone about her story, so she could only shrug her shoulders and force a helpless smile.

Not long after the two of them left, they saw groups of separate log cabins in front of them.

The design of the cabins was witty. It ensured an open vision but also took into account the privacy. There were all kinds of flower racks and tables outside. It was good for a person staying outside and doing nothing or for a group people having parties.

Perhaps it was because of the relaxing atmosphere of the island, or because of the existence of Su Jianan, Xu Youning’s uneasy heart was gradually calmed down.

Obviously, Su Jianan didn’t know anything. Even if Mu Sijue wanted to do something to her, he wouldn’t do it in front of Su Jianan.

Therefore, she should be safe for the moment.

At that moment, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue approached them with their luggage. Mu Sijue stopped in front of the wooden cabin next to them. “Xu Youning. come here.”

Xu Youning walked around and reached out her hand to Mu Sijue. “Thank you. I can carry my own luggage.”

Mu Sijue squinted and said, “You’re welcome. I am carrying my luggage in anyway.”

Xu Youning was highly alert, “What do you mean?”

Mu Sijue raised the corner of his mouth and said, “It means that you’re staying with me.”

He took his luggage and walked into the wooden cabin. Xu Youning opened her arms and stopped him hurriedly. “There are so many cabins here. Why do I need to stay with you?”

“There are only two cabins available right now.” Mu Sijue asked her back, “do you want to sleep on the beach if you’re not staying with me?”

“…” Xu Youning was speechless.

“And,” Mu Sijue said, with eyes were like torches, revealing a sense of danger, “Unless I release you, you have nowhere to go or to be.”

Xu Youning felt a chill on her back.

If it were in the past, she wouldn’t think too much into that.

But just then, she knew that Mu Sijue was probably aware of her ident.i.ty, so she couldn’t help but suspect that there was a hidden meaning in Mu Sijue’s words.

Was Mu Sijue trying to tell her that she was stuck with him and he was going to torture her for the rest of her life?

Thinking about that, the chill went straight to Xu Youning’s head from her back.

Lu Boyan and Su Jianan were next to them.

By hearing Mu Sijue’s possessive tone, Su Jianan sensed that something was going on between him and Xu Youning. That’s why she was still on the outside, listening to their conversation. She stood at the door and looked at them for a while, then she asked Lu Boyan with certainty, “They are official, right?”

Lu Boyan thought for a moment and said, “Kind of.”

Su Jianan couldn’t be easily fooled. “What is it then? What do you mean by ‘kind of’?”

“It’s difficult to explain,” Lu Boyan dragged on, “How about we go in first, and I will tell you when we have time?”

“Alright.” Su Jianan suppressed her curiosity and followed Lu Boyan into the wooden cabin.

The interior design of the cabin was quite simple. There was almost no barrier between the living room, the bedroom, and the kitchen. All the furniture was colored in its natural way, with nothing complicated nor any carving. Everything preserved its simplicity and purity.

The house smelled like wood, as if they were in the forest. Opening the window, there was an endless sea outside. The water was blue, as if reflecting the color of the sky, which was pleasing and relaxing.

A breeze blew in, and the linen curtains swayed slightly. Su Jianan noticed that the colors chosen for the decoration was plain. They weren’t eye-catching, but were potent nonetheless.

That wooden house, from the inside to the outside, was like the house on the beach in her dream.

Lu Boyan hugged her from behind and put his hands on her belly. “Do you like it?”

Su Jianan nodded, and then she felt confused. “I didn’t tell you about all this. How did you know?”

Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “Your brother told me.”
