Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Being in such close proximity to Kang Ruicheng and inhaling his scent, Xu Youning stiffened and had a sudden aversion toward him.

However, in front of Kang Ruicheng, she could only suppress the disgust she felt, meet his eyes, and pretend to welcome his embrace.

Of course, she was not looking forward to Kang Ruicheng’s touch, nor could she accept it.

But now, Kang Ruicheng could definitely see all her reactions, so she had to pretend.

If Kang Ruicheng really intended to kiss her, she would resort to her ultimate method!

Since Xu Youning returned to the Kang family, Kang Ruicheng had been eager to get close to her, but Xu Youning had cooked up plenty of excuses to refuse his advances. Later, Xu Youning fell ill, so he could hang on to his fantasies first.

That was also the reason why he could not really trust Xu Youning.

He was not a young man in his early twenties. He knew very well that if a woman really wanted to stay with him, she would never refuse his advances.

In addition, he knew Xu Youning very well. He knew that she would never allow anyone she hated to get close to her, let alone have any intimate contact with her.

Although Xu Youning never resisted him, he had never really approached her.

How could he completely believe Xu Youning under such circumstances?

This was the closest Kang Ruicheng had been to Xu Youning.

He swore that he would never let Xu Youning go again.

Xu Youning was aware of Kang Ruicheng’s intention. She closed her eyes and pretended to be looking forward to it, but in fact, she was silently counting down from five.

Kang Ruicheng did not notice Xu Youning’s suppressed emotions at all. He even thought that she was really looking forward to his touch.

He raised his other hand and stroked Xu Youning’s cheek. He gazed at her, and was not in a hurry to kiss her.

He seemed to be a hunter who had been eyeing his prey for a long time but was not in a hurry to enjoy it after catching it.

He enjoyed watching the prey’s every move after he captured it, which was more pleasant than eating it.

Xu Youning could feel the heat radiating from Kang Ruicheng’s palms. At this moment, she was just counting down to one.

After saying the word “one” in her heart, Xu Youning fell to the ground as if she had lost all her strength.

She had her eyes closed all the time. Kang Ruicheng only saw her suddenly fall to the ground. He was stunned for a second and then realized that she had fainted. He exclaimed, “A Ning!”

Xu Youning could hear Kang Ruicheng’s voice, but she had to pretend that she could not hear anything so that it would appear like a realistic comedy.

Kang Ruicheng suddenly panicked. Regardless of Xu Youning’s facial expression, he subconsciously caught her and called again, “A Ning!”

“…” Xu Youning did not respond.

Kang Ruicheng did not waste any more time. He directly picked Xu Youning up, rushed out of the study, and walked toward her bedroom.

Before Xu Youning could celebrate her successful performance, she suddenly felt that something was very wrong.

She just wanted to fake a fainting spell to avoid Kang Ruicheng’s intimate contact.

However, after she was picked up by Kang Ruicheng, a wave of dizziness really overcame her whole being.

The next second, Xu Youning began to lose consciousness.

Alas, she really wanted to put on a good show in order to pretend that she had fainted.

But now, it was becoming a reality. She did not mean to really faint!

Mumu was playing alone downstairs and soon got bored. He hopped upstairs to find Xu Youning, only to see Kang Ruicheng coming out of the study with Xu Youning in his arms.

The little boy was stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted. He called out, “Auntie Youning!”

“…”

Xu Youning still did not respond.

Mumu followed Kang Ruicheng to the room and asked, “Daddy, what’s wrong with Auntie Youning? Is she feeling unwell?”

Kang Ruicheng did not have time to answer the little boy’s question. He said, “Go find Uncle Dongzi and ask him to call the doctor over for Aunt Youning!”

“Okay!”

Mumu stopped pestering Kang Ruicheng. He turned around, ran downstairs, and said to Dongzi directly, “Auntie Youning is not feeling well. Uncle Dongzi, please help her find a doctor!”

Dongzi was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on. He took out his phone, dialed Fang Heng’s number and ordered him to come over immediately.

Mumu was worried about Xu Youning, so he did not stay downstairs. He quickly turned around, went upstairs, and ran straight into Xu Youning’s room.

Kang Ruicheng had already set Xu Youning down on the bed.

On the surface, Xu Youning looked like her usual self. Tucked under the quilt, she seemed to be asleep. Her breathing was even and steady, and she seemed to be in a peaceful state.

But her pale face betrayed her condition.

Mumu walked to the bedside and looked worriedly at Xu Youning. After a while, he turned to Kang Ruicheng and asked, “Daddy, didn’t Auntie Youning already see the doctor? Why did she faint again?”

Kang Ruicheng said in a hoarse voice, “Mumu, Auntie Youning saw the doctor, but she hasn’t completely recovered. When the doctor cures her, she won’t be like this. You still have to wait patiently.”

Mumu blinked as if he did not fully understand, and his eyes gradually darkened. He did not ask when Xu Youning would recover.

He knew that no one in this world knew the answer to this question.

He could not help Xu Youning.

The only thing he could do was to accompany Xu Youning to face the sickness she had.

Mumu sat down and looked solemnly at Xu Youning, who was in a coma. After a while, he suddenly reached out and touched Xu Youning’s face. “Auntie Youning, if you are tired, you can have a good rest. I will always be with you, as I promised you. I will definitely do it!”

Kang Ruicheng looked at Mumu and wanted to say something comforting to pacify the little boy, only to see that the worry on Mumu’s face had somehow faded away.

The little boy was probably very clear about Xu Youning’s current situation. Any words of comfort would not be of any help to him right now.

Kang Ruicheng did not say anything in the end. He went to the balcony outside and smoked, while waiting for Fang Heng to come over.

Fang Heng rushed to the old house of the Kang family as soon as he received the call from Dongzi. It took him less than 30 minutes to arrive, so he must have driven over at breakneck speed.

Fang Heng had to emphasize that when he treated Xu Youning, he completely regarded her as Mu Sijue’s woman.

If she were Kang Ruicheng’s woman, he would not have put in so much effort.

As soon as Dongzi saw Fang Heng, he immediately took the latter upstairs and entered Xu Youning’s room.

Xu Youning was still in a coma, and her face became increasingly pale. If it weren’t for her faint breathing, Fang Heng would have thought that Xu Youning had no vital signs.

“Doctor.” Mumu looked at Fang Heng with pleading eyes. “Can you find a way to help Auntie Youning?”

Fang Heng’s heart softened, and he touched Mumu’s head. “Don’t worry, little boy. I will.”

“Mumu.” Kang Ruicheng pulled Mumu over. “Don’t hinder the doctor from treating Auntie Youning.”

“Oh!”

Mumu obediently followed Kang Ruicheng to get out of the way, all the while gazing at Xu Youning and never letting go of Kang Ruicheng’s hand.

He was still young. No matter how calm he looked, he could not hide the worry and uneasiness in his heart.

Fang Heng quickly finished some basic checks for Xu Youning and finally decided to give her an IV drip.

He neatly inserted the thin needle into Xu Youning’s vein. The cold medicinal liquid quickly flowed along the infusion tube into Xu Youning’s blood system.

Mumu came over and looked up at Fang Heng. “Doctor, will Auntie Youning recover after the drip is done?”

Fang Heng had an apologetic expression, squatted down, looked at Mumu, and said, “This solution can only help Miss Xu regain her physical strength, but it can’t relieve her illness. However, I will find a way to cure her. Trust me, okay?”

It was related to Xu Youning’s life, so Mumu was much more cautious. He looked at Fang Heng uncertainly and asked, “Doctor, can I trust you?”

Fang Heng could not help laughing. “Of course, I’m an excellent brain surgeon!”

“Well… Okay, I trust you.” As Mumu spoke, he reached out and asked Fang Heng to make a pinky swear with him. “You have to promise me!”

Fang Heng cooperatively hooked the little boy’s little finger and pressed his thumb against Mumu’s. “I promise that I will find a way to cure Miss Xu.”

He was serious.

He had promised Mu Sijue and Lu Boyan that he would try his best to cure Xu Youning. It was not a big deal to make a promise with the little boy now.

Anyway, if he could not cure Xu Youning, even if Mumu would let him go, Mu Sijue would not let him off so easily.

“Doctor,” Kang Ruicheng called Fang Heng, “If you are done, come with me. I have something to ask you.”

Fang Heng nodded and followed Kang Ruicheng to the living room downstairs.

Kang Ruicheng asked directly, “How sure are you about curing Youning’s illness?”

Fang Heng was also very straightforward. He looked at Kang Ruicheng and said, “I’m not very sure, but I’ll try my best.”

This was not the answer Kang Ruicheng wanted.

But he knew that no matter which doctor he invited, no one dared to tell him with certainty that Xu Youning would be cured.

Xu Youning’s situation was much worse than everyone had imagined.

Kang Ruicheng did not say anything more. He called Dongzi over and said, “Send the doctor out.”

After Fang Heng left, Kang Ruicheng smoked a cigarette before pushing the door of Xu Youning’s room open and walking in.

Mumu smelled the smoke from Kang Ruicheng and looked at him. “Daddy, what’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing.” Kang Ruicheng rarely talked to Mumu in a soft tone. “I’m going out for a while. Can you accompany Auntie Youning?”

Mumu nodded and said seriously, “Don’t worry. I’ll always be with Auntie Youning.”

After Kang Ruicheng left the room, Mumu sat down by the bed again. He just stayed with Xu Youning and did not feel bored.

In less than half an hour, Xu Youning woke up and saw the drip bottle above her bedside. Mumu was sitting by the bed, cupping his face in both hands and looking at her. He was frowning, as if he was very worried about her.

Xu Youning struggled to sit up. Looking at the needle in her hand, she frowned like Mumu and was about to pull it out.
