Chapter 968 Mu Sijue’s Plot (1)

Xu Youning would never be modest when she was praised.

She smiled at Auston and said, “Mr. Auston, you have quite a good taste.” Those who appreciated her were discerning ones!

The corners of Auston’s mouth twitched. He looked at Mu Sijue and said, “Mu, your language is too complicated. I didn’t learn it well. Is Miss Xu praising me or herself?”

Mu Sijue looked indifferent and answered briefly, “Herself.”

“Why?” Auston raised his eyebrows in confusion. “It sounds like Miss Xu is praising me.”

Mu Sijue gave Auston a comforting look. “Undoubtedly, she can’t praise you for you are blind.”

“…”

A look of grievance appeared on Auston’s face.

Did Mu Sijue need to have such a big complaint about his praise that Xu Youning was special?

“Since it’s so sunny, I’ll have more fun!”

Auston turned to look at Xu Youning and said with an enchanting smile, “Miss Xu, I’m very happy to negotiate with you. It’s very likely that I will change my mind and cooperate with you.”

The good news came as fast as a tornado, so that Xu Youning felt a little dizzy and asked curiously, “Why?”

“Because you’re very beautiful.” Auston’s smile was like a blooming flower. “I like to cooperate with beautiful women.”

Mu Sijue’s gaze turned cold, and he sneered in his heart. “Auston was really blind!”

Xu Youning was overjoyed at his praise. She blinked her deer-like eyes and said charmingly, “Mr. Auston, you’ve found the right person.”

The implication was that she was a beautiful woman and that it was a right choice for Auston to cooperate with her.

Auston sat down and stared at Xu Youning with interest. He blinked his deep and attractive eyes and said, “I think so.”

“Since we have such a tacit understanding, I’ll directly offer the price.” Xu Youning leaned forward slightly and got closer to Auston. “I’ll give you twice as much as what Mu Sijue offers to you. What do you think?”

She was poaching a partner from Mu Sijue blatantly.

Auston whistled and looked at Mu Sijue leisurely. “Mu, did you hear that? Miss Xu is beautiful and generous. Oh my mama, I’m tempted by Miss Xu instead of her price!”

Compared with many foreigners, Auston was pretty good at Mandarin, but he did not grow up in this country after all. So, his Mandarin was not very fluent and standard.

When he said “oh my mama” with a foreign accent, Xu Youning almost burst out laughing.

This man must be here to make her laugh, right?

Also, he had an extraordinary relationship with Mu Sijue.

Ordinary people did not dare to talk to Mu Sijue in this way.

“Miss Xu, what do you think of me? Do you want to have a romantic relationship with me?” Auston pretended to look gentlemanly and charming, with his deep blue eyes full of affection. “We can have a cooperation while dating.”

Xu Youning could see that Auston was not really interested in her. He just wanted to tease her.

She had always disliked these methods.

But this time, in front of Mu Sijue, she crazily wanted to cooperate with Auston and see how Mu Sijue would react.

Xu Youning smiled and gazed at Auston intently. Her gentle voice sounded a little ambiguous. “As long as I date you, you will really cooperate with me?”

“Uh-huh.” Auston nodded charmingly. “As long as you date me, I’ll immediately abandon Mu and elope with you!”

The smile on Xu Youning’s lips spread to the bottom of her eyes, revealing a charming light.

Just as she was about to agree, with a “bang”, a bullet suddenly pierced through the window and directly flew toward her as if it had eyes.

There was a sniper on the tall building opposite the bar!

Mu Sijue’s face clouded immediately. He almost subconsciously got up and threw himself at Xu Youning, then rolled off the sofa with her in his arms. Xu Youning fell on him, and he pushed her away and pressed her under his body to protect her.

At this moment, the bullet hit the sofa with a poof and embedded itself deeply in it, leaving a small burnt hole on the surface of the sofa.

If Mu Sijue hadn’t reacted in time and rolled off the sofa with Xu Youning in his arms, the bullet would have pierced through Xu Youning’s head and embedded itself in her head.

Mu Sijue saved her life.

Xu Youning grabbed Mu Sijue’s arm and could not react at all. She just stared at Mu Sijue blankly with wide eyes.

There was really someone who wanted to kill her, but it was not Mu Sijue.

Xu Youning suddenly had a strong intuition that the person who had sniped at her last night was not Mu Sijue, either!

Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning, who was in a daze, and sneered. “How do you feel when you are almost killed while flirting with a man?”

“It feels good to flirt with a handsome guy, but I don’t like the feeling of being almost killed.” Xu Youning’s eyes were slowly fixed on Mu Sijue’s handsome face, and she asked, “It’s not your man. Who does the sniper work for?”

If the sniper worked for Mu Sijue, it meant that Mu Sijue wanted to kill her. In that case, it was impossible for him to rush to save her.

Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes, and said sarcastically, “How many people have you offended in order to help Kang Ruicheng? More than ten people, right?”

Xu Youning faintly sensed a touch of jealousy in Mu Sijue’s words.

She looked at Mu Sijue with uncertainty. “Are you jealous?”

There was a look of disdain in Mu Sijue’s cold eyes. “You’re hallucinating.”

Xu Youning was still somewhat suspicious. She stared at Mu Sijue and inadvertently smelled the familiar masculine breaths, and coupled with a faint smell of tobacco, it released great male hormones and smelled very good.

For a period of time, the smell had accompanied Xu Youning to sleep and wake up every day.

Memories overwhelmed her and made Xu Youning almost drowned.

Fortunately, she thought of her child and woke up in time.

The child was already fragile. If Mu Sijue continued pressing her like this, maybe the child would be hurt.

Almost subconsciously, Xu Youning pushed Mu Sijue with all her strength. “Get off me!”

Mu Sijue felt Xu Youning’s resistance, and his face suddenly clouded.

Xu Youning could flirt with Auston charmingly and call herself Kang Ruicheng’s fiancee, but she resisted his touch so much?

For the first time, Mu Sijue felt that he had just been a joke.

Just now, if he had not saved Xu Youning, she would not be able to react in time.

Then now, in front of him was Xu Youning’s corpse.

Why did he save Xu Youning?

The answer came to Mu Sijue’s mind, which made him feel humiliated. In order to escape that feeling, he directly pushed Xu Youning away and stood up as if nothing had happened.

“Miss Xu!” One of Kang Ruicheng’s men rushed over. “Are you okay?”

Xu Youning patted the dust off her clothes and asked calmly, “Where’s Dongzi?”

The man said, “He went out with a few people, trying to catch the sniper.”

Xu Youning replied with a “hmm” to indicate that she got it, and asked the man to leave.

She returned to be calm and looked at Mu Sijue. “The sniper last night wasn’t your subordinate, right? Why did you admit it just now?”

“There is no difference between me and others,” Mu Sijue said, “for sooner or later, I will snipe at you.”

“Since you want me to die, why did you save me just now?” Xu Youning was very puzzled. “If you hadn’t rush over, I would have been shot and died.”

Mu Sijue raised the corners of his mouth and suddenly pinched Xu Youning’s chin. He said word by word, “When you are in front of me, only I can kill you. Xu Youning, you haven’t experienced the pain I have suffered, so you can’t die yet.”

So that was the reason. It was not that he still had feelings for her, but that he wanted to torture her and kill her with his own hands.

Xu Youning hid the subtle disappointment in her heart and turned her head, trying to get rid of Mu Sijue’s grip.

However, Mu Sijue’s hand was like an iron clamp, and she could not get rid of it at all.

She glared at Mu Sijue angrily and said, “Let me go!”

Mu Sijue released Xu Youning rudely, and there were no other things than a look of indifference in his eyes, as if Xu Youning were just a stranger.

At this time, Dongzi came back with his men and looked at Xu Youning apologetically. “Miss Xu, I’m sorry. I didn’t find the sniper.”

“After the miss, he must have run away earlier. How could you have a chance to find him?” Xu Youning looked relaxed, as if she had not been almost killed. “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”

Thinking of Xu Youning’s illness, Dongzi asked worriedly, “Miss Xu, how do you feel about…”

Xu Youning immediately realized what Dongzi wanted to ask. She could not let Mu Sijue know about her illness, so she must stop Dongzi’s question!

“It’s not the first time for me to pass a bullet. I really feel okay.” Xu Youning interrupted Dongzi and looked at Auston. “Mr. Auston, shall we go on with the negotiation?”

Auston looked scared and said in a weak voice, “Miss Xu, in this case, it isn’t suitable for us to negotiate, is it?”

“Then there’s no need to waste time.” Xu Youning smiled at Auston. “Glad to meet you. Goodbye.”

After that, Xu Youning was about to leave with her men.

“Xu Youning.” Mu Sijue stopped Xu Youning and looked at her with an indiscernible look. “Don’t you have anything else to deal with?”

Xu Youning turned her head coldly and just replied, “Isn’t it enough for you to lure me here and trick me with Auston? What else do you want from me?”

The last glimmer of hope in Mu Sijue’s heart was gone, and he coldly said, “Get out!”

Xu Youning “obediently” turned around and left the bar.

“Hey, Miss Xu, can I ask for a chance to explain?” Auston shouted at Xu Youning’s back, “It’s all Mu’s idea. I was forced to play tricks on you. Can you forgive me?”

Xu Youning ignored Auston’s shouting, got in the car directly, and left the bar.

Xu Youning had just brushed past Death, and Dongzi was still afraid. He drove fast, and several off-road vehicles soon disappeared from the bar street.

In the bar, Auston said unhappily, “Damn, I became a bad guy just like this!” Then he glared at Mu Sijue and said, “It’s all fucking your fault!”

Mu Sijue looked at Auston coldly and warned him in an unfriendly tone. “Enough!”

After looking at Mu Sijue carefully for a while, Auston sat down on the sofa next to Mu Sijue and said, “Tell me the truth. Why did you try so hard to lure Xu Youning here? Are you plotting something?”

Mu Sijue’s face clouded, and a trace of self-mockery spread from the corners of his mouth. He picked up the glass on the table and drank it up…
