nXiao Yunyun went back home. She threw the bag on the couch and ran to the balcony before she could change her shoes.

nLooking down, Shen Yuechuan’s giant Land Rover was still parked in front of the apartment.

nUm? Was there something wrong with his car or…

nThe second possibility scared Xiao Yunyun, just like she didn’t dare to imagine the possibility between Shen Yuechuan and her.

nTo be specific, she just thought that a man who had seen so many beautiful girls like Shen Yuechuan wouldn’t be interested in her.

nBeing the case, it would be best to remain as friends. When speaking of the relationship between a man and a woman, it would be awkward later on if they didn’t turn out to be a good match.

nWhile she was deep in thought, Shen Yuechuan’s car moved. The car headlights were turned on and cut through the darkness; the vehicle was soon out of Xiao Yunyun’s sight.

nXiao Yunyun took a long breath.

nIt was good that she couldn’t see Shen Yuechuan. She could stop the fantasy over those impossible things.

nThe second day, at Lu Enterprises.

nShen Yuechuan carried a report into the CEO’s office and placed it on Lu Boyan’s desk. “Kang Ruicheng made a move.”

nLu Boyan went through the report and calmly put it down. “Kang Ruicheng wants to bid on the land in the south against us?”

n“Um-huh.” Shen Yuechuan knocked on the desk. “Kang Ruicheng has been the CEO of the Su Group for a long time and has done many movements. But this time he aims at us, right after Xu Youning returned to his side. Do you think it’s just a coincidence?”

n“He just wants to make use of Xu Youning.” Lu Boyan said, “Don’t forget that Xu Youning graduated from a business academy, plus she is his best spy. He has a greater chance to succeed with her help.”

nSo, Xu Youning was a problem to them.

nShen Yuechuan was upset. “What is wrong with Mu Sijue? “He likes Xu Youning, why would he send her back so she could help Kang Ruicheng? “He should just say it directly to Xu Youning. He can even force her to stay if she wasn’t willing. Isn’t it easy for him to lock a person up?”

n“Why don’t you ask this question yourself?” Lu Boyan suddenly aimed at Shen Yuechuan, “You have feelings for Yunyun. Everyone can see it except her. Why didn’t you say something to her?”

nBeing struck at his weakness, Shen Yuechuan became instantly weak. After quite a while, he rubbed the temple and said, “Xiao Yunyun and I are not suitable for each other.”

nLu Boyan asked, “Isn’t Yunyun the type you like?”

n“I like her. It has nothing to do with her type.” Then, Shen Yuechuan was suddenly lost in silence. He continued after quite a while, “I’m not suitable for her.”

nHe used the causal tone to cover the heaviness in his heart.

nLu Boyan looked at Shen Yuechuan and smiled.

nThe thoughts Shen Yuechuan had right now were basically the same ones he had when he was watching Su Jianan from afar several years before.

nEveryone had a different face in this world but the feelings one had when falling in love were almost the same—you would constantly look at yourself up and down, thinking that you were the only one who could take care of her. But later on, you had a deep seated feeling of being unsuitable for her.

n“It’s up to Yunyun whether you are suitable for her.” Lu Boyan tried to persuade him, “Don’t hide your emotions too deeply. Otherwise, you’ll be the one regretting in the future.”

n“Oh?” Shen Yuechuan asked intentionally, “Is it a suggestion… from someone who has experienced all this?”

n“Take it or leave it. It’s your choice.” Then, Lu Boyan gave Shen Yuechuan the car key.

nShen Yuechuan was confused. “What are you doing? “Are you forcing me to confess my love to Xiao Yunyun right now?”

n“I’m giving you a chance to make a good impression on your future mother-in-law.” Lu Boyan said, “Jianan’s aunt will arrive in City A at 8 tonight by plane. You should pick her up.”

nShen Yuechuan was upset. “Shouldn’t it be your job? “Why are you asking me to do it again?”

n“Because I have to keep my wife company at home.”

nA normal sentence sounded particularly reasonable from Lu Boyan’s mouth. It was as if nothing was more important than accompanying his wife. Shen Yuechuan had no way to deny it. He could only take the car key and go.

nIt was already six thirty in the evening when Shen Yuechuan left the company after work. He dialed Xiao Yunyun’s number and said the minute the call was connected, “It’s time for us to pick up your mother at the airport. Where are you?”

nXiao Yunyun had just finished a surgery and was almost out of breath. She thought she might have been delusional, so she took a good look at the name on the screen. It was indeed Shen Yuechuan!

nShe impatiently asked, “Why you are the one picking my mother up with me?”

n“I don’t know, either.” Shen Yuechuan shrugged, “I am just fulfilling the task my boss just gave me. If you have an opinion towards it, you can tell it to your cousin-in-law.”

nXiao Yunyun took a look at the time, “Forget it. There’s not much time left. Can you pick me up at the hospital?”

n“Of course!” Then, Shen Yuechuan hung up the phone and quickly started the car.

nIt was still the rush hour after work. So even the Land Rover which had great functions couldn’t run fast on a busy road. Shen Yuechuan’s car moved with great difficulty and finally arrived at the hospital fifteen minutes later.

nXiao Yunyun was already waiting. Once seeing Shen Yuechuan’s car, she rushed over immediately. “Get on the highway!”

nEven Lu Boyan had rarely spoken to Shen Yuechuan in that commanding tone. Shen Yuechuan uttered a “Ze” to express his unsatisfaction. When he was about to say something, Xiao Yunyun opened her mouth first—

nXiao Yunyun threatened, “I will complain to my cousin-in-law if you fail to take me to the airport before eight!”

n“…” Her threat was powerful and Shen Yuechuan was soon speechless after hearing those words.

nLuckily, it was much less crowded after they got on the highway. Shen Yuechuan drove fast and reached the airport with Xiao Yunyun at eight sharp.

nXiao Yunyun took a look at the flight information. Her mother’s flight had landed. She subconsciously ran to the exit.

nShen Yuechuan quickly caught Xiao Yunyun, “Where are you going?”

nXiao Yunyun pointed at the port, “My mother is coming out!”

n“Even if she is about to exit, she won’t be in that direction. Follow me!” Shen Yuechuan firmly pulled Xiao Yunyun to the opposite direction.

nXiao Yunyun didn’t know what Shen Yuechuan was doing and struggled along the way. “Shen Yuechuan, do you have no sense of direction? “The exit port is not that way!”

nShen Yuechuan turned around to stare at Xiao Yunyun. At the same time, he held her tighter, “If you keep moving, I’ll carry you on my shoulder!”

nXiao Yunyun wasn’t so easily scared. She expressed her scorn, “Do you think I wouldn’t call the police?”

n“I really think you wouldn’t.” Shen Yuechuan hummed, “They would possibly think we’re just a quarreling couple. “Well, if some girl calls the police to catch you because she is jealous of us holding hands, I would surely believe it.”

nXiao Yunyun searched all the Chinese vocabulary inside her brain and could only find one word suitable to describe Shen Yuechuan right then—annoying!

nShe gave Shen Yuechuan a look filled with contempt. “Did your face get crushed yesterday?”

nWhen she just finished speaking, she noticed Shen Yuechuan’s footsteps freeze. She looked in the direction of his eyesight and saw a VIP room.

nAll of a sudden, Xiao Yunyun understood something. “My mom is in the VIP room?”

nShen Yuechuan didn’t react. “We’ll know after we open the door.”

nXiao Yunyun walked up with doubt and pushed the door open—

nThe room behind the door had a cream-colored couch and table set. The elegant woman who was sitting on the couch and drinking tea was precisely her mother.

n“Mom!” Xiao Yunyun ran in and got into Su Yunjin’s arms. “I’ve missed you and dad so much.”

nAlthough she had quarreled with her mother over her major and it lasted for so many years, they still had a close connection. After such a long time away from her home, it would be a lie if she said she didn’t miss her parents.

n“I missed you too.” Su Yunjin patted on Xiao Yunyun’s back. “I’ve discussed with your father. You can be a doctor if you like. No matter how the current medical environment is, I will support you as long as you’re happy.”

nWhen choosing a major, Xiao Yunyun lied to her parents and changed her major from business academy to medical science. By then, she and her mother had a big fight.

nSo many years later, it was still like a barrier that existed between them. Although it was invisible, it made them less intimate.

nXiao Yunyun had originally thought she had to spend more time in making her mother accept her major. But it had been solved just like that?

n“Mom,” Xiao Yunyun asked surprisedly, “What did dad tell you about it?”

n“In all these years, your dad has told me everything he ought to.” Su Yunjin smiled frankly. “In fact, I thought it through by myself—You are an adult now and you have the right to decide your future. “Even if you made the wrong choice, it doesn’t matter. You can go back home and start over. We have the chance to support you. “After having this thought, I think your happiness is the only thing that matters. As for the rest… I don’t care.”

nXiao Yunyun was relieved. She hugged Su Yunjin, “Thank you, mom. “Well, you sounded hesitant about something. Did you intend to say this?”

nSu Yunjin had taken good care of her skin. So even if there were small wrinkles by her eyes, they simply seemed carved by time. It did not affect her beauty. Instead, she looked more profound and elegant.

nWhen she was quiet, Su Yunjin looked dignified and graceful, seemingly calm in any situation.

nBut after hearing Xiao Yunyun’s last sentence, her face became dark. She said after quite a while, “That’s a completely different matter. I’ll tell you about it after your cousin’s wedding.”

nSince a young age, Xiao Yunyun held no secrets from her parents. So she was actually extremely curious when Su Yunjin spoke so mysteriously. But her good manners kept her from asking further. She just said, “Okay, let’s go.”

nThe minute they walked out of the VIP room, they saw Shen Yuechuan. Xiao Yunyun then remembered to introduce him. She casually pointed at Shen Yuechuan, “Mum, this is a friend of my cousin-in-law. He asked him to pick you up.”

nShen Yuechuan smiled, “Hello, auntie. “My name is Shen Yuechuan. I’m actually Boss Lu’s assistant.”

nSu Yunjin was strict with Xiao Yunyun. And Xiao Yunyun’s way of introducing Shen Yuechuan had obviously been impolite.

nBut then, Su Yunjin had no time to think about that. Her eyes froze on Shen Yuechuan’s familiar face; shock emerged in her eyes…
