A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 1040 I Want You to Marry Me

When Mu Sijue was in the meeting, Xu Youning was also very busy.

At the Kang family residence in the old city area.

As Xu Youning and Mumu said that they wanted to decorate the house, Kang Ruicheng’s subordinates soon carried over two boxes of Spring Festival decorations, inside which were four big red lanterns.

Mumu suddenly became interested in the lanterns. He picked up a lantern from the box and yelled, “Auntie Youning, can we replace the lantern on the door with this one? I want to light it. It means the Spring Festival is coming!”

The existing lantern on the door was lit by an energy-efficient bulb that would turn on automatically when the sky darkened.

But this was not the point. The point was—

There was an explosive device inside the lantern. If you fiddled with it, the whole house would be blown up!

Therefore, Xu Youning gasped with shock when Mumu suddenly said he wanted to change the lantern. She hurriedly said, “Mumu, the old lantern is very good. If we change it, it will be very sad.”

“But—” Mumu pointed at the “spring” character on the lantern and said, “The old lantern doesn’t have this. I want this on the lantern!”

“Well...” Xu Youning noticed a sticker that had the character “spring” in the box. She quickly took it out, saying, “The character can be pasted on the lantern. Let’s ask someone to paste it on the old lantern!”

If the little fellow insisted on replacing the lantern, it would not be an easy job.

They needed to find experts to clear the explosive first!

Mumu tilted his head and thought for a moment. Finally, he nodded and said, “Fine.”

Xu Youning called two people over and gave the “spring” sticker to them. “Paste it on the lantern. Be quick, and be careful!” she said.

“Huh?” Mumu blinked in confusion. “Auntie Youning, why did you tell them to be careful?”

Xu Youning coughed and found an excuse, “Because they need to climb up to stick it on. It’s very dangerous.”

Mumu was suddenly enlightened. He looked at the subordinates and followed Xu Youning’s example as he reminded them, “Uncle, be careful!”

“Okay, okay.”

They scurried out with the things. Mumu finally stopped thinking about the lantern.

Xu Youning breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up some other decorations from the box and took Mumu’s hand, saying, “Let’s go and put these up.”

“Okay!” Mumu skipped after Xu Youning, with curiosity and excitement written all over his face.

However, due to his limited height and strength, Mumu couldn’t really do much. He only offered to help.

The little guy trusted Xu Youning and understood his weakness. He didn’t take the initiative to do anything but just cooperated with Xu Youning.

Xu Youning spent more than an hour putting up the decorations. Mumu suddenly said, “Auntie Youning, let’s take a break.”

Xu Youning just finished pasting the character “fortune”. She got off the stool and habitually touched the little guy’s head. “Are you tired?” she asked.

“No, I’m not,” The little guy smiled sweetly. He looked at Xu Youning and said, “But if we don’t take a rest, I think you and the baby will be very tired.”

Xu Youning suddenly realized that the little fellow was thinking about her. She couldn’t help kissing him. “Okay, let’s have a rest.”

A servant brought some fruits and snacks. Mumu and Xu Youning leaned against each other as they ate and rested.

After finishing the food, Mumu forgot about the decorations and directly pulled Xu Youning to play games.

Mumu was addicted to these games. When he began, he did not stop until Kang Ruicheng came back in the evening. Seeing Kang Ruicheng frown at him, he put down the game equipment reluctantly.

Kang Ruicheng looked around the living room and found the surroundings festooned with red Spring Festival decorations. He looked at Mumu and asked, “Did you and Auntie Youning do these?”

Mumu thought for a moment, shook his head, and answered, “Those uncles helped us. Auntie Youning and I... spent more time playing games.”

It was only now that Xu Youning realised what a straight person he was.

“Auntie Youning hasn’t recovered yet. You’re not allowed to play games for too long.” Kang Ruicheng scolded Mumu and then looked at Xu Youning. “A Ning, come to the study with me. I have something to tell you.”

“Okay.”

Xu Youning responded and put down the game equipment, then followed Kang Ruicheng upstairs.

If she remembered correctly, nothing unusual had occurred during the past two days. Why would Kang Ruicheng want to talk to her privately?

Xu Youning was still confused when she entered the study.

When Kang Ruicheng saw the blank look on Xu Youning’s face, he motioned for her to sit down and said softly, “Don’t be nervous. It’s nothing serious. I just want to tell you that Su Jian’an is secretly making preparations for Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun’s wedding ceremony.”

Xu Youning was stunned and asked subconsciously, “If it’s a secret, how did you know?”

Kang Ruicheng replied honestly, “I have been monitoring Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue. Nothing can escape my eyes.”

“So?” Xu Youning was still puzzled. “Will their wedding impact us?”

“It won’t. But it should be a happy event for Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue.” Kang Ruicheng paused for a moment, and a sinister look flashed across his eyes. “However, I don’t want them to be happy.”

In other words, he wanted to ruin Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun’s wedding.

“No!” Xu Youning subconsciously refused. “Yuechuan should be undergoing an operation soon, so Yunyun wants to marry him before that. You can’t ruin their wedding. It’s very important to them!”

Kang Ruicheng glanced at Xu Youning in surprise and said sharply, “You’re not close to Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun. Why are you so worked up?”

“It doesn’t matter whether I’m close to them or not!” Xu Youning didn’t hold back at all. The more she said, the more agitated she became. “Yunyun is a very good girl. She should be happy, and she deserves to be happy! I won’t allow you to ruin their wedding!”

“Since you’re pleading on their behalf, I can promise you I will not ruin their wedding.” After a pause, Kang Ruicheng continued, “But, if I do something else on that day, you can’t stop me anymore.”

Kang Ruicheng agreed so readily that Xu Youning couldn’t react. It wasn’t until she heard his last sentence that she suddenly understood—

From the beginning, Kang Ruicheng did not have any intention to ruin Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun’s wedding.

Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an must attach great importance to this wedding. They would make comprehensive security arrangements.

It would not be easy for Kang Ruicheng to ruin the wedding.

Besides, ruining the wedding would do nothing but merely annoy Lu Boyan.

Kang Ruicheng never did meaningless things.

Therefore, he had other plans from the very beginning!

Kang Ruicheng anticipated that she would stop him from trying to ruin the wedding. So he deliberately mentioned that and promised he would not when she was against the idea. In this way, it would be easy for him to issue the second condition.

In this case, she would not be able to ask him for anything else and could only allow him to do whatever he wanted.

This was Kang Ruicheng’s trick that he had used several times and each time she would be fooled.

Xu Youning knew that no matter what she said now, she could not stop Kang Ruicheng.

She swallowed hard and said, “Then you should at least tell me what you are going to do on the day.”

“I’m sorry.” Kang Ruicheng stood up and leaned over. He whispered in Xu Youning’s ear, “A Ning, I won’t tell you.”

Xu Youning was speechless and a little angry. She complained, “If so, you shouldn’t have told me from the beginning!”

Kang Ruicheng seemed to smile, but there was no expression on his face. “I just didn’t expect that you care so much about Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun,” he said.

Xu Youning knew what Kang Ruicheng wanted to hear.

She smiled and said frankly, “I do care about them. Do you know what I was thinking when you told me about their wedding? I was thinking that it would be great if I could attend.”

The smile on Kang Ruicheng’s face froze. “A Ning!” he stared at Xu Youning and growled.

Mu Sijue would definitely be the best man at Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun’s wedding.

How could Xu Youning say she wanted to go!

What would she do if she saw Mu Sijue?

Xu Youning ignored Kang Ruicheng and continued, “But Mu Sijue is in the way. If he is not in this world, I should go to the wedding.”

She said this so sincerely that even Kang Ruicheng, who was familiar with her, did not know she was probing.

Kang Ruicheng thought for a moment and said, “Maybe we can make Mu Sijue disappear from the world before the wedding.”

A few minutes ago, when Kang Ruicheng said that he would take action on the day of Shen Yuechuan and Yunyun’s wedding, Xu Youning suspected that he was targeting Mu Sijue.

Now it seemed that he was indeed.

Xu Youning pretended to be calm, and her eyes were full of hatred. “If you can kill Mu Sijue, I’ll do anything you ask.”

“What if I ask you to marry me?”

Kang Ruicheng’s request came without any warning. He just wanted to see how Xu Youning would react.

Xu Youning was stunned for a second, but she showed no resistance. Instead, a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes. “If I must get married, then you are the best person,” she said.

It meant she made Kang Ruicheng a promise.

Kang Ruicheng caressed Xu Youning’s face and said softly, “A Ning, you don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this.”

After he said this, Kang Ruicheng held Xu Youning’s face and lowered his head. He fixed his eyes on her lips...
