Chapter 494 I’d Like You to Dedicate Yourself to Me (2)
Shen Yuechuan continued with a mysterious tone, “Xu Youning interrupted me before I could ask her about the text message, but she just sounded as if she were talking to herself . She said that she didn’t regret her choice; she also said that Yicheng and Jianan are not so important to her . “At that time, two of Kang Ruicheng’s men were standing behind her . She looked as if she was afraid that they would know that she had sent me a text message . ”

Lu Boyan said, “She shouldn’t have been afraid if she sent us the text message because Kang Ruicheng asked her to do it . ”
“You got it . ” Shen Yuechuan snapped his fingers, looking at Lu Boyan with his eyes lighting up . “So, you guessed it!”
Lu Boyan had told Shen Yuechuan the previous night that Kang Ruicheng’s unlimited bidding strategy would likely be a trap .
The trap was set to test Xu Youning .
If Xu Youning wanted to go back to him sincerely, she would never tell Lu Boyan about his unlimited bidding strategy . In that case, Shen Yuechuan wouldn’t keep bidding against the Su Group .
If Xu Youning returned to him to work undercover, she would seize the opportunity to take her revenge, and she would tell Lu Boyan about it as soon as she could . As a result, Shen Yuechuan would keep bidding against the Su Group, thus forcing it to be the highest bidder .
However, Kang Ruicheng asked Xu Youning to stop bidding when it reached the upper limit of Lu Enterprises before the auction .
In that case, Kang Ruicheng would successfully take advantage of Xu Youning, whether she was a double agent or not . He would be able to let Lu Enterprises win the auction at the highest price and confirm Xu Youning’s identity at the same time .
However, Kang Ruicheng didn’t expect that Lu Boyan would figure this out when he received Xu Youning’s text message, telling Shen Yuechuan to act as the occasion demanded at the auction .
Shen Yuechuan was vigilant enough to notice all her hesitation and abnormalities whenever Xu Youning was bidding . Therefore, they embarrassed Kang Ruicheng without warning .
“That’s what’s called while the priest climbs a post, the devil climbs ten!” Shen Yuechuan leaned against the desk with his arms crossed, bantering with Lu Boyan . After a while, he asked, “By the way, when can we get that greenfield site? “It won’t do us any good if Kang Ruicheng owns it!”
“Don’t worry . ” Lu Boyan picked up a cup of coffee on the desk and took a sip at leisure . “It won’t be late for us to buy it from Kang Ruicheng when it depreciates to the lowest price . ”
Shen Yuechuan frowned while pondering, and he immediately figured out Lu Boyan’s plan . He smiled and said, “That’s great . It’s a business with low cost and high profit . I like it . “If there is nothing else, I’m leaving now . ”
“Wait a minute . ” Lu Boyan stopped Shen Yuechuan . “What are you going to do about Yunyun?”
“What should I do?” Shen Yuechuan shrugged helplessly . “As you can see, she and I lead completely separate lives . “She has grown up with an excellent family background . But I don’t even know who my parents are . “Two people of different upbringing won’t have a happy ending . ”

“I see . ” Lu Boyan laid down the coffee cup and asked indifferently, “You won’t mind if I introduce someone else to Yunyun, would you?”
Shen Yuechuan suddenly stopped there . “Who is it?”
“You know him . ” Lu Boyan said, “He is Qin Wei’s cousin, the young master of the Qin Enterprise Group . He is now the head of marketing in the South China area . He grew up in Europe, by the way . “According to your logic, he and Yunyun will have a happy ending . ”
“Are you talking about… Qin Han?” Shen Yuechuan snorted with disdain . “Old Master Qin asked me about a project in South Africa the other day . He was wondering who he should assign to expand markets there . “Now I think that Young Master Qin is the right man for that . Working in South Africa will benefit him both physically and in expertise . I’ll call the old master later . ”
With that, Shen Yuechuan strode away with pride like a gust of wind . Lu Boyan took a sip of coffee, flashing a smile while looking at his back .
Outside the study, Shen Yuechuan went downstairs and saw Su Jianan . “I’m leaving now . ”
“Yunyun and I are about to leave . Let’s go together . ” Su Yunjin stood up and patted Su Jianan’s hand . “Jianan, I will come to see you when I’m free . ”
“All right . ” Su Jianan nodded with a smile . After glancing at Shen Yuechuan and then at Xiao Yunyun, she supported her baby bump and walked them to the gate .
Xiao Yunyun and Su Yunjin had gone there by taxi . However, it didn’t seem that Su Jianan was going to ask her assistant to drive them back . Noticing that, Shen Yuechuan stopped his car in front of them out of courtesy, then he rolled down the window and said, “Auntie, it’s not convenient to call a taxi here . I’ll drive you back to the hotel . ”
“Will it trouble you?” Su Yunjin asked politely, but she didn’t refuse at all .
“Well, not at all . ” Hearing Shen Yuechuan’s words, Su Jianan smiled and asked, “Aunt, are you going back to the Century Hotel? “Yuechuan happens to live nearby, so he’s going your way . Plus he’s a hard-working young man, it wouldn’t bother him . ”
Shen Yuechuan managed to avoid twitching his lips . He said, “Yeah . It won’t bother me at all . ”
“I won’t stand on ceremony if that’s the case . ” Su Yunjin opened the door and motioned for Xiao Yunyun to get in the car, while she just stood there with a hesitant look .
“What’s wrong?” Su Yunjin said, “You’ve taken rides from Yuechuan many times, haven’t you?”
“…” Xiao Yunyun opened her mouth without speaking . She didn’t know what to say and only wanted to hit the wall until she died .

She wondered, “D*mn it! Why are my mom and Su Jianan fond of setting me up with Shen Yuechuan!?”
However, Shen Yuechuan didn’t seem to figure out the hidden meaning of Su Jianan’s words . “Is Shen Yuechuan insensitive, or am I thinking too much?”
“Whatever, now that Shen Yuechuan is so calm, I shouldn’t be bashful . Who cares!”
With that, Xiao Yunyun worked up the nerve to get into Shen Yuechuan’s car and said, “OK . Let’s go!”
As Shen Yuechuan stepped on the accelerator, his car got on the road which was surrounded by green trees in the villa district .
Xiao Yunyun kept looking down at her phone all the way . When she caught a glimpse of Su Yunjin, she found that she was gazing at Shen Yuechuan’s back with a soft look she had never seen .
Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and sent a message to Su Yunjin’s phone: “You’ve fixed your eyes on Shen Yuechuan . Are you picking a son-in-law?”
Su Yunjin had hired a private detective to find out detailed information about Shen Yuechuan the other day, and she had asked the detective to contact her by texting . As a result, she had been waiting for text messages those days, and she had nearly been glued to her phone .
As she gazed at Shen Yuechuan, her phone gently vibrated in her palm . She subconsciously unlocked the screen to check the message, without expecting that it was from Xiao Yunyun . She turned her head only to see Xiao Yunyun grinning, who was just like a child that had successfully played a prank .
Su Yunjin helplessly clicked Xiao Yunyun’s forehead with her plump forefinger . “Behave like a lady . It’s no joke . ”
“Oh . ” Xiao Yunyun stuck out her tongue . “I see . ”
She looked down at her phone again, while a sense of disappointment spread in her heart .
She had wanted to sound out Su Yunjin’s idea about Shen Yuechuan by sending that text message . She had thought that her mother wouldn’t complain about her joke if she liked Shen Yuechuan as she did . The reason why she had made the joke was that she found Su Yunjin didn’t seem to dislike her contact with Shen Yuechuan . Besides, she was even acting like Su Jianan, always trying to set her up with Shen Yuechuan .
She had thought that Su Yunjin was satisfied with him .
However, she found that Su Yunjin might not agree on her closer relationship with Shen Yuechuan, although Su Yunjin was happy to see her stay with him .

She thought to herself, “Well, I’ll never understand the adult world . ”
In less than an hour later, Shen Yuechuan stopped his car in front of the Century Hotel . Before he could say anything, he heard Su Yunjin say “ah” from the back seat .
Shen Yuechuan turned and asked, “Auntie, what’s wrong?”
“It just occurred to me that I have something urgent to deal with . ” Su Yunjin hastened to push the door open and get out of the car . “Yuechuan, I have to go now . “Yunyun, thank Yuechuan for me . ”
With that, Su Yunjin closed the door and quickly left for the hotel gate .
Xiao Yunyun bit her lip with a puzzled expression . “It didn’t seem like my mom had any urgent business just now . ”
“That’s not the point . ” “The point is that auntie told you to thank me,” Shen Yuechuan said to Xiao Yunyun with a teasing smile .
Xiao Yunyun calmly looked into Shen Yuechuan’s eyes . “How can I ever thank you?”
“I think—” Su Yicheng looked at Xiao Yunyun with a faint smile . “I’d like you to dedicate yourself to me . ”
“Get lost!” Xiao Yunyun blushed and threw her shoulder bag toward Shen Yuechuan without thinking, then she opened the door and got out .
She thought to herself, “Dedicate myself to you? I’ll gladly do that . But that’s impossible . How dare Shen Yuechuan make fun of me? What a bastard!”
“That’s disturbing me, you know?!”
Shen Yuechuan got out of the car with Xiao Yunyun’s shoulder bag, then he walked up to her and asked, “Did I annoy you?”
Xiao Yunyun snatched her bag from him and carried it over her shoulder . “Shen Yuechuan…”
As she was about to explain it to Shen Yuechuan, there came an urging voice from behind, “Step aside . You’re in the way . ”
A group of emergency personnel carried a patient and rushed out of the hotel .
Occupational instinct prompted Xiao Yunyun to look at the patient, and she forgot to make way . Seeing her stand there still, Shen Yuechuan put his palm on her shoulder so that she would make way .
“Ah…” Before Xiao Yunyun could react, she staggered back against Shen Yuechuan and fell into his arms, with her face buried close against his chest . With his arms around her shoulders, Shen Yuechuan looked as if he were hugging her .
Shen Yuechuan did have love experiences . He had given his lovers hugs to comfort them, which was different from the one at that moment .
His comforting hug was like plain boiled water, insipid and dull .
At that moment, however, he felt like his chest was about to overflow with warmth . Shen Yuechuan had the sudden notion to keep his arms around Xiao Yunyun like that .
He couldn’t help thinking, if only Xiao Yunyun could fill up his lonely heart with her warmth .
He couldn’t deny his attachment to that kind of warmth, which he had long been looking forward to…
