Chapter 493 Iâd Like You to Dedicate Yourself to Me (1)
Shen Yuechuan stopped there with one hand on his forehead, looking at the blue sky, while casually placing the other hand on Xiao Yunyunâs shoulder. He sighed and said, âItâs a long story. You are too young to figure it out.â
Being close to him, Xiao Yunyun could feel Shen Yuechuanâs strong heartbeats. At the same time, she found that her heart was beating even faster than his.
In other peopleâs eyes, she and Shen Yuechuan just looked like friends, close but far from intimate.
Nevertheless, she couldnât help feeling pleased that the words âclose friendsâ could be used to describe Shen Yuechuan and her, which was enough to make her heart race.
However, his words did arouse her anger!
She recalled her job. Her patients had always shouted at her, âYouâre just a new hand. You are too young to know a d*mn thing, arenât you? âI want your superior physician here! âIâm here to see a doctor, not to be treated like a lab rat by an intern!â Those acid remarks made by her patients had shown disrespect for both her person and her specialized knowledge.
Xiao Yunyun had heard enough of the words âyou are too youngâ at the hospital, and she hated them the most. She had never expected that Shen Yuechuan would say those words to her. Anger burned inside her as a result.
Xiao Yunyun elbowed Shen Yuechuan in the ribs and roared, âIâm just a few years younger than you!â
âUh-huh.â Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun up and down, saying with interest, âThatâs just enough for you to be my girlfriend.â
Xiao Yunyun was shocked by his words. She was first stunned and then confused; before she could make a quick-witted response, she blurted, âGo away! You can whistle for that!â
Shen Yuechuan smiled in a casual manner as he usually did, while a disappointed look flashed across his face.
He had always been good at hiding his negative emotions. Within seconds, he managed to appear casual while holding Xiao Yunyun closer to him. âTake it easy. Youâre not my cup of tea. I was just kidding.â
ââŠâ
Xiao Yunyun felt as if a sense of loss had gone right into her heart. She thought to herself, âI should have guessed it. Iâm not Shen Yuechuanâs type.â
Xiao Yunyun took a deep breath and forced a smile of relief. âThen I can set my mind at ease.â âAnswer me. Why didnât you see it through at the auction?â
âIf I had bid 28 billion yuan, we would have won the auction.â
Xiao Yunyun said in bewilderment, âXu Youning bid 27.9 billion yuan. You bid 27 billion yuan. Why didnât you bid a hundred million more if you could get the greenfield site at 28 billion yuan?â
âBecause⊠the site isnât worthy of such a high price.â Shen Yuechuan made a mysterious smile and said, âLetâs wait and see. Lu Enterprises will get the site in the end.â
Xiao Yunyun shook her head. âIâll never understand you capitalists.â
âSame as you. Iâll never understand you doctors.â Shen Yuechuan opened the door and gestured for Xiao Yunyun to get in the car. âSo, letâs go.â
After Xiao Yunyun got in the car, Shen Yuechuan locked the car and stood outside, leaning against it.
âShen Yuechuan!â Xiao Yunyun slapped the window from inside the car and asked, âWhy did you lock me here?â
Shen Yuechuan glanced back and rolled down the window. âI have something to talk with Xu Youning. Just stay in the car. Iâll be back soon.â
Before Xiao Yunyun could say anything, Shen Yuechuan closed the window again. At that very moment, Shen Yuechuan saw Xu Youning come out of the hotel, then he walked straight toward her.
Two of Kang Ruichengâs men escorted Xu Youning. Seeing Shen Yuechuan approaching, the two reached into their pockets for weapons. âMiss Xu, heâs Lu Boyanâs assistant. HeâŠâ
Xu Youning lifted her hand, ordering them to stand down. âHe wonât do anything to me. Get back in the car now.â
âNo.â The two men didnât do as Xu Youning said. âBrother Cheng asked us to protect you. We have to keep close to you.â
Xu Youning sneered and said, âBut we donât need to be too close. Do you understand?â
With that, Xu Youning walked forward. The two men moved perfectly together to keep close to her, as if they had rehearsed for it.
That was beyond Xu Youningâs patience. She turned around with a sour look on her beautiful face, then she whipped out an item from her handbag and pressed it against the belly of one of the guards. âListen, youâre just my subordinates. Stay where you are. Itâs your last warning. âOtherwise, you will end up in an ambulance!â
With that, Xu Youning placed the item into her handbag and walked straight toward Shen Yuechuan.
In order to avoid suspicion, she didnât force Kang Ruichengâs men to turn around, so she and Shen Yuechuan were still exposed to the two menâs eyes.
Shen Yuechuan looked Xu Youning up and down. âSo itâs you, the mysterious top female agent of Kang Ruicheng.â
âCut the crap.â Xu Youningâs voice sounded cold as if she didnât know Shen Yuechuan at all. âWhat do you want?â
âI want to ask youâŠâ
âYes, I got close to Mu Sijue, Jianan, and every one of you on purpose.â Xu Youning interrupted Shen Yuechuan with a cold face as if she was talking about other peopleâs business. âIâve always been acting in front of you. Because I wanted to win your trust so that I could fulfill the missions that Kang Ruicheng assigned me.â
ââŠâ Shen Yuechuan stared at Xu Youning without speaking.
Xu Youning looked right into Shen Yuechuanâs eyes and asked indifferently, âAnything else?â
Her eyes looked cold and resolute. She was like a changed person, no longer the Xu Youning who had been witty and energetic.
If it werenât for knowing that she was good at deceiving others, Shen Yuechuan would think that the one in front of him was just a cold-blooded killer who was wearing a mask made of Xu Youningâs skin.
âNothing.â Shen Yuechuan smiled and asked, âWhat about you? Do you have anything to say to anyone?â
âHaâŠâ Xu Youning suddenly burst into laughter, which was full of sarcasm.
With that, she looked at Shen Yuechuan in disdain. âDo you think that I should apologize to Jianan or Brother Yicheng? âOh, theyâre not so close to me as you may think. They were useful to me, but they canât affect my decisions. âBy the way, for the sake of my grandma, I wonât hurt them.â
âAll right.â Shen Yuechuan gave Xu Youning a calm look and said, âYouâd better behave yourself.â
Without even giving Shen Yuechuan a disdainful look, Xu Youning pursed her lips and kept on walking, passing by him as she walked straight toward her car.
Shen Yuechuan gazed at Xu Youningâs back. He rubbed his chin, while an indescribable look flashed across his face. After a while, he returned to his car.
Xiao Yunyun hurried to ask, âWhat did Xu Youning say to you?â
Shen Yuechuan calmly retold what Xu Youning had said.
He had thought that Xiao Yunyun would get angry to hear that. However, beyond his expectation, Xiao Yunyun was quite calm.
Shen Yuechuan said with confusion, âXu Youning took advantage of Jianan and your cousin. Donât you feel bitter about it? âYou know, they have always cared about Xu Youning.â
âThey care about her because Granny Xu had looked after them. They have done what theyâre supposed to do. âAs for Xu YouningâŠâ Xiao Yunyun sighed. âI canât believe that sheâs such a person. âBut they wonât regret taking care of her. Whatâs the point of feeling bitter about it? âBy the way, itâs not up to me.â
Shen Yuechuan thought for a while and suddenly said, âYeah. It has nothing to do with you.â
âHey, I didnât mean that itâs none of my businessâŠâ Xiao Yunyun hastened to explain, fearing that Shen Yuechuan might think she was ruthless. Unexpectedly, Shen Yuechuan laughed.
Shen Yuechuan said with a soft smile, âItâs a lot of trouble. Your cousin-in-law and I donât want anyone else to be involved in it. âSo, youâd better not become a part of it.â
In that way, Xiao Yunyun would be safe, unlike Su Jianan or Xu Youning who were in danger at all times.
Xiao Yunyun gazed at Shen Yuechuan with confusion for a long time, finding it impossible to figure out his smile.
She wondered, âWhat does he mean? âHe doesnât want me to get into trouble?â
âHey, Shen Yuechuan cares about me, doesnât he?â
Xiao Yunyun was lost in her thoughts as Shen Yuechuan drove back to Dingya Villas.
Su Yunjin was still there, talking with Su Jianan about child raising. Xiao Yunyun walked over with curiosity and rested her chin on her hand to listening in silence. She wanted to know how she had been brought up,
While no one was noticing, Shen Yuechuan motioned for Lu Boyan to go to the study upstairs.
As soon as he entered the study, Lu Boyan closed the door and asked, âCould you confirm Xu Youningâs real identity?â
Shen Yuechuan shook his head. âFrankly, Iâm not sure. âXu Youning said in the text message that Kang Ruicheng ordered her to bid regardless of limits since he was determined to get that greenfield site. âBut she was hesitant when she was bidding today. It didnât seem that she was bidding without limits. âStrangely enough, her final bid was 27.9 billion yuan, but her offers were mostly integers before that.â
Lu Boyan frowned. âDo you mean that she knew how much we could offer?â
Shen Yuechuan nodded. âYes. Itâs likely that she knew we would bid at most 28 billion yuan. âShe bid 27.9 billion yuan just to wait for us to bid more, to finally let us win the auction at the highest price.â
Lu Boyan began to ponder, while his eyes dimmed. âMaybe youâre right. Xu Youning sent us the text message to mislead us, instead of reminding us.â
Shen Yuechuan shook his head. âIf thatâs the case, she shouldnât have behaved like that today.â
âFirstly, she hesitated when she was bidding; secondly, it seemed that she chose the 27.9 billion yuan bid on purpose, because she wanted to remind me that I would fall into the trap if I bid 28 billion yuan; thirdly, and itâs the most critical point⊠I waited for her outside the hotel after the auction because I wanted to ask her about the text message. Guess what I found out?â
