Chapter 799 Contact Mu Sijue

Xu Youning looked at the old-fashioned clock on the wall. It was exactly 10 o’clock now.

Mumu covered his mouth with his hand and yawned. “Why hasn’t Daddy come back yet? I want to sleep.”

Xu Youning put away the game device and said, “We won’t wait for your daddy. Let’s sleep first.”

Mumu tilted his head listlessly and felt that he couldn’t hold on any longer. He nodded and said, “Okay.”

He climbed into Xu Youning’s arms, put his arms around her neck like a spoiled child, then buried his head on her shoulder and said in a childish voice, “Auntie Youning, I want to sleep with you.”

“Don’t you like sleeping alone?” Xu Youning asked.

“No!” Mumu raised his head and looked at Xu Youning with sleepy eyes. “I’ll be scared if I sleep alone.”

“Huh?” Xu Youning looked at him in confusion. “You used to sleep alone in the United States. Weren’t you afraid?”

“Yes…” Mumu lowered his head and poked his finger against his other hand. “I told my auntie that I was afraid, but she told me that she couldn’t help me.”

Xu Youning’s heart suddenly melted.

After Mumu’s mother passed away, Kang Ruicheng sent him to the United States and left him alone in a villa. Although there were all kinds of bodyguards and nannies with him, they were all just working for Kang Ruicheng.

No one really cared whether he was happy during the day and whether he was afraid at night.

At the age when he should have been surrounded by love, Mumu had already understood what loneliness was.

Xu Youning stroked his head and said, “I’ll keep you company in the future.”

She took Mumu back to her room and he kept grabbing her hand so that she could not even change into her pajamas. She could only lie down with Mumu in this way.

Early in the morning, when Xu Youning was sleeping soundly, she suddenly heard an unusual noise. She opened her eyes and suddenly saw Kang Ruicheng sitting by the bed.

The light was off in the room and the cold and white light in the yard cast irregular shadows on Kang Ruicheng’s body. Half of his face was illuminated by the light, while the other half was hidden in the dark, exuding a dangerous aura like a sleeping beast.

Xu Youning took a deep breath. Before she could react, the beast in Kang Ruicheng’s body was awakened. He rushed to her and pressed her on the bed.

“A Ning…” Kang Ruicheng pressed down hard on Xu Youning and she could smell the alcohol on him. “I…”

He seemed to be about to say something, but he shut his mouth obscurely.

Xu Youning was so angry that she raised her hand subconsciously—

“Snap!”

A big slap fell on Kang Ruicheng’s face.

The atmosphere suddenly stiffened and Kang Ruicheng also largely sobered up. He looked at Xu Youning in disbelief.

What surprised him was not that Xu Youning dared to slap him, but Xu Youning’s resistance. She resisted his touch from the bottom of her heart.

Sure enough, things like her grandmother’s death not long ago was merely her excuse.

Xu Youning was not willing to accept him at all!

“Why?” Kang Ruicheng suddenly grabbed Xu Youning’s collar. “A Ning, why are you unwilling? Is it because of Mu Sijue? Right?”

“…” Xu Youning did not speak.

Just as Kang Ruicheng was about to lose his temper again, a small figure got up from the other side of the bed and looked at Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning in confusion. “Daddy, Auntie Youning, what are you doing?”

Kang Ruicheng did not expect that Mumu would be in the same bed. He let go of Xu Youning’s collar in an instant and tried to hide the anger in his voice. “I have something to talk to Auntie Youning. You go to sleep first.”

“Oh.” Mumu rubbed his eyes. “Auntie Youning, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

“OK.”

Xu Youning tucked the little boy in, got out of bed and walked out of the room.

For the first time, Kang Ruicheng felt embarrassed and upset. He followed Xu Youning out and closed the door.

Just at that moment, Xu Youning turned around and was about to give him another slap. Before she could slap Kang Ruicheng in the face, she was stopped by him.

Kang Ruicheng grabbed Xu Youning’s wrist ferociously and said, “Enough!”

Xu Youning used all her strength and broke away from Kang Ruicheng’s grip. She looked at him coldly and said, “You clearly promised me that you wouldn’t force me to do anything before you resolve the problem with Mu Sijue. But you are testing me time and again and now you broke into my room in the middle of the night. Are you trying to force me to move away?”

“…” Kang Ruicheng looked at her with regret and frustration. “I didn’t know that Mumu was in your room.”

Xu Youning sneered and said, “If Mumu had not been in my room, would you break in like this?”

“A Ning…” Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Youning intently and something flashed in his eyes. “I…”

“You don’t have to explain anymore!” Xu Youning interrupted Kang Ruicheng and emphasized each word coldly and clearly. “This is the last time I will forgive you. If there is a next time, I will move out with Mumu!”

After that, she pushed Kang Ruicheng away, went back to her room and locked the door. She leaned against the door feebly as if she had run out of strength.

Only then did Xu Youning realize that she had shivers running down her spine.

Just now, there was not only lust but also… affection in Kang Ruicheng’s eyes when he looked at her.

The level of affection was the same as her affection for Mu Sijue.

It was too absurd.

After a long time, Xu Youning came to her senses and thought of Mumu.

She walked back to the bed and saw that Mumu was dozing off, wrapped in a quilt. His little head kept nodding and finally, he couldn’t hold on anymore and fell to the bed together with the quilt.

As soon as he fell, Mumu woke up. He looked at himself and found that his sleeping position was a little strange. He casually kicked the quilt off, got under the quilt, made himself comfortable and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

He did not notice that Xu Youning was there. He probably forgot that she had gone out.

Xu Youning looked at Mumu and her uneasy heart calmed down. She laid down and tucked him in.

Now, she could still use her anger as an excuse to rebuff Kang Ruicheng time and again.

However, if she kept this up, it would arouse Kang Ruicheng’s suspicion sooner or later.

She should take advantage of Kang Ruicheng’s complete trust in her now to quickly collect the evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s crimes and end everything as soon as possible. She could not delay it any longer.

However, after everything was over, Mumu…

Xu Youning hugged the little boy and said, “Mumu, I’m sorry.”

Of course, Mumu didn’t hear Xu Youning’s words. He unconsciously scratched his little face, nestled in Xu Youning’s arms and slept until dawn.

The next day, when Xu Youning opened her eyes, she saw Mumu sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed and looking at her.

“Auntie Youning!” Seeing that Xu Youning was awake, a smile appeared on Mumu’s face. “Good morning!”

Only then did Xu Youning realize that the early morning of winter could also be particularly warm.

She kissed the little boy on his forehead. “Morning.”

After washing up, Xu Youning went downstairs with Mumu. When she found that breakfast on the table was only for two persons, she looked at Ah Jin in confusion.

“Brother Cheng went out early in the morning,” Ah Jin said. “The servant only prepared breakfast for you and Mumu.”

Xu Youning carried Mumu to the chair and said, “Let’s not bother about him. Let’s eat.”

Mumu nodded and said while slurping up the porridge, “Auntie Youning, let’s continue to play games after breakfast, okay?”

Xu Youning inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ah Jin’s mobile phone sticking out of his coat pocket. She said calmly, “I have something to do later. Let Uncle Ah Jin play with you first. I’ll come down and play with you after I’m done, okay?”

Although Mumu liked Xu Youning more, he didn’t reject Ah Jin. He nodded and said, “Okay.”

After breakfast, Xu Youning picked Mumu up and walked to Ah Jin. “Please play with him for a while.”

“No problem.” Ah Jin stretched out his hands to Mumu and said, “Come on, give me a hug.”

Mumu was very obedient and hugged Ah Jin. When Xu Youning loosened her grip, she gripped Ah Jin’s mobile phone with two fingers and quietly pulled it out. The mobile phone slipped silently into her sleeve..

Xu Youning calmly put her hands into the pockets of her coat and said, “You have fun. I’ll go upstairs.”

Back in the room, Xu Youning locked the door and unlocked Ah Jin’s cell phone. Only then did she remember that she didn’t know Shen Yuechuan’s number.

Shen Yuechuan’s contact information was open to the public. If she searched for it, she could definitely find it.

However, she didn’t have enough time.

She had to return the phone to Ah Jin before Ah Jin discovered it was gone. Otherwise, if Kang Ruicheng asked about it, they would suspect her.

Xu Youning weighed her options and finally dialed Mu Sijue’s number.

Yes, she remembered Mu Sijue’s number so clearly.

After she dialed the number, there was a dull beep on the phone. Xu Youning unconsciously clutched the corner of her clothes and her heart began to beat faster and faster.

She had the closest contact with Mu Sijue and also had the most bitter quarrel and break up with him. But when she thought that she was about to hear just his voice, her heart still beat irritatingly faster.

She had the same kind of reaction as a 17-year-old girl, when she was going to meet a boy in white shirt whom she had a secret crush on for a long time.

In this life, maybe she would never be able to escape from Mu Sijue’s charms.

“Hello?”

Mu Sijue’s deep and cold voice came from the phone, which instantly captured Xu Youning’s soul. She opened her mouth, but suddenly lost her ability to speak so that she couldn’t make a sound for a long time.

Only then did Xu Youning realize how useless she was. It was enough for her just to hear Mu Sijue’s voice.

“Who is that speaking?”

Mu Sijue was not a patient person and there was already a hint of displeasure in his voice.

Xu Youning took a deep breath and used all her strength to steady her voice. “It’s me.”

“…” After two seconds of silence, Mu Sijue’s deep and seductive voice sounded. “Xu Youning?”

“Yes, it’s me.” Xu Youning tried her best to make herself sound calm. “Mu Sijue, I have something to tell you. It’s about Yunyun and Yuechuan.”

On the one hand, she was nervous. On the other hand, still, she was nervous. Xu Youning’s palms were sweating even though it was winter. She emphasized, “Listen to me carefully.”

“Let’s talk when we meet.” Mu Sijue capriciously interrupted Xu Youning with such a statement.

Xu Youning almost choked on her own unspoken words. She said angrily, “I don’t want to see you!”

According to Mu Sijue’s temperament, he definitely could not stand her indifference to him. Next, he would order her to say it out quickly.

However, this time, Xu Youning was wrong—

As if he did not understand her words, Mu Sijue said, “I want to see you.”
