Chapter 1228

Chapter 1228: It’s enough that you like me.

Kang Ruicheng’s question came out of nowhere, and Xu Yuning’s heart thumped hard.

Kang Ruicheng didn’t say it explicitly, but she still vaguely understood why Kang Ruicheng was doing this.

Last night, Kang Ruicheng should have already determined that the purpose of her return was not pure.

So, as soon as he came back today, he was in a hurry to separate her and Mu Mu.

Kang Ruicheng should be worried that when the time comes for him to reveal her, she will use Mu Mu to escape.

But, she knew that something like that would never happen.

Even if she had no way to survive, she would never use Mu Mu.

She hoped more than anyone that Mu could grow up healthy, how could she possibly take advantage of him and leave a shadow trauma in his heart?

However, even if she could tell Kang Ruicheng this plainly, Kang Ruicheng should not believe it.

Besides, she and Mu Mu, really should be separated.

Otherwise, when it comes time to actually separate, the little guy won’t be able to handle it.

Thinking this way, Xu Yuning didn’t start an argument with Kang Ruicheng, and only said, “In this matter, you should let me discuss with Mu Mu.”

Kang Ruicheng sneered and looked at Xu Yuning grimly, “You mean that Mu Mu listens to you more?”

Xu Yuning knew that she had perhaps revealed herself, yet she still did not have the slightest fear, she met Kang Ruicheng’s gaze and asked rhetorically, “Isn’t it?”

As a matter of fact, compared to Kang Ruicheng as his daddy, Mu Mu did listen more to Xu Yuning.

Kang Ruicheng was choked speechless, and finally could only say in a muffled voice, “I’ll give you a chance, you can talk to him now.”

Xu Yuning didn’t pay any more attention to Kang Ruicheng and extended his hand towards Mu Mu, “Mu Mu, come over to my side.”

Mu Mu came over in a resigned manner, looking at Xu Yuning with tearful eyes, still choking.

It was obvious that the little kid was upset, and the tiny person looked helpless and pitiful.

Xu Yuning felt a sour pain in his heart, reached out his hand to wipe the tears from the little one’s face, and said, “I want to talk to you for a while, is that okay?”

“Uh, yes.” Mu choked back a sob and nodded.

Xu Yuning was patient and looked at the little one softly, “Why are you crying so hard? Because of the matter of going to school, or because you’re going to be separated from me?”

I don’t know which sentence poked Mu Mu’s tear ducts, the little guy “wow”, cried out again.

It wasn’t the first time Xu Yuning had dealt with this kind of situation, but the other party was Mu Mu, so it was inevitable that she was still a bit overwhelmed, and she could only coax the little one, “Don’t cry, you can talk to me slowly.”

Mu bawled while saying, “Auntie Yuning, I don’t want to be separated from you.”

“I know.” Xu Yuning hugged Mu Mu and stroked the back of his head, “But have you forgotten what we agreed on?”

“I ……” Mu choked, her voice full of innocence, “I didn’t forget ah ……”

“Then don’t cry.” Xu Yuning whispered in Mu Mu’s ear, “You have to do what you promised me.”

Mu promised Xu Yuning that he wouldn’t cry and would grow up well without hanging what happened.

Xu Yuning said so, the little one could only nod his head, stopping his tears, leaving only a shallow sobbing sound.

Xu Yuning helped the little guy wipe the tear tracks on his face and coaxed him for a while before going to find Kang Ruicheng.

Kang Ruicheng was reading a document, when he saw Xu Yuning coming over, he coldly asked, “How is Mu Mu?”

“Mu Mu is fine.” Xu Yuning paused, but still asked, “When do you plan to send Mu Mu to school?”

“This afternoon, there’s no discussion.” Kang Ruicheng glanced at Mu Mu, no emotion in his voice, “You’d better help him accept this fact.”

Xu Yuning looked at Kang Ruicheng in disbelief, “Can’t you give Mu Mu an extra half day?”

“Heh–” Kang Ruicheng’s gaze deepened a few more points, “He’s my son, it’s fate that didn’t give him any extra time.”

“……”

Xu Yuning opened his mouth, but realized that he had no words at all.

Kang Ruicheng did do this for Mu Mu’s sake.

She had to admit that being born as Kang Ruicheng’s son, Mu Mu had to grow up and learn more skills faster than other children.

Otherwise, danger would come to him at any time, and danger would not take into account that he was only a five-year-old child, but would only be cruel and merciless to him.

As a matter of fact, Kang Ruicheng did think about Mu Mu.

He had already determined that Xu Yuning didn’t really want to come back, and once she had the chance, she would definitely leave.

This family, after all, will only have him and Mu Mu left.

If that was the case, why didn’t he let Mu Mu adapt to being without Xu Yuning earlier?

Otherwise, according to Mu Mu’s dependence on Xu Yuning, the day Xu Yuning left, he would have been even more upset than he is now.

Lots of injuries and pain that little kids should adapt to as early as possible.

Kang Ruicheng then emphasized in a cold voice, “Regardless of whether or not you can talk to Mu Mu, this afternoon, he must go to school!”

His tone sounded as if it was non-negotiable.

Xu Yuning didn’t bother to argue with him and nodded, “I know, I’ll discuss with Mu Mu and convince him to accept your arrangement.”

Kang Ruicheng snorted coldly, “I’ll give you thirty minutes.”

He went up the stairs without looking back, and Tohko hurried to keep pace with him.

Into the study, Kang Ruicheng as if very tired, the whole person disheveled in the office chair, and lit a cigarette boredom smoke up.

Dongzi stood in front of the table and hesitated for a moment, but still asked, “Brother Cheng, I thought that when you came back, you would do something to Ms. Xu. However, you didn’t do anything, why is that?”

The moment he knew the purpose of Xu Yuning’s return, Kang Ruicheng had clearly broken down in a fit of rage.

Dongzi knew Kang Ruicheng, and according to his usual style, he would deal with Xu Yuning as soon as he returned.

Conrad City has always had zero tolerance for traitors.

However, the truth was that Concrete City had come back with absolutely no movement at all, as if he didn’t know anything yet.

This was completely against Kang Rui Cheng’s style, which was why Dongzi was so surprised.

Kang Ruicheng took a deep drag on his cigarette, the corner of his lips hooked up in a meaningful arc: “You think my behavior is ridiculous, don’t you? I also think it’s ridiculous.”

The more Dongzi listened, the less he understood, and he looked at Kang Ruicheng in a puzzled manner, “Brother Cheng, why do you …… say that?”

Kang Ruicheng exhaled a ring of smoke and slowly said, “The moment I saw Ah Ning sneak into my study, I was almost certain that she had returned to me to work undercover. At that moment, I couldn’t wait to deal with her immediately. But when I came home and saw her, I suddenly changed my attention.”

Dongzi then asked, “Brother Cheng, what are you going to do now?”

“…… “This time, Kang Ruicheng paused for a long time before slowly saying, “My intention? As long as she doesn’t try to leave, I won’t reveal her identity, and I won’t care what she offers to Sir Mu Si; as long as she’s still willing to stay here, I’ll keep her. I may even give him another chance if she is honest with me.”

As it turned out, Kang Ruicheng still overestimated himself.

He thought that in a fit of rage, she could lay her hands on Xu Yuning.

Yet, he still wanted to spare her and give her another chance.

“…… “Dongzi was silent for a long time, and said in an exclamatory tone, “Brother Cheng, you really like Miss Xu.”

Kang Ruicheng hooked up the corners of his lips, his smile looked a little miserable, “Maybe.” After a pause, he lit another cigarette, “You go down.”

Dongzi opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say anything else, nodded, and left the study.

On the way downstairs, Tohko sighed all the way.

He didn’t know if he should feel happy for Xu Yuning or feel sad.

He knew very well that Kang Rui Cheng never forgave a person without a reason.

Conrad City’s tolerance is all because something is expected.

This time, Kang Ruicheng was obviously expecting Xu Yuning to change her mind, give up on Mu Siju and return to him.

If Xu Yuning can t comprehend Kang Ruicheng s intentions and is obsessed with wanting to go back to Mu Siju, then …… her end will be worse than Kang Ruicheng dealing with her right now.

Once she failed Kang Ruicheng’s expectations, Xu Yuning would be in pain.

That’s the thing, people who are loved deeply and end up not getting it tend to get hurt.

Downstairs, Xu Yuning was oblivious and was still discussing with Mu Mu about the little one going to school.

Mu Mu flattened his mouth, his face full of reluctance, “I don’t want to go to kindergarten, what the teacher teaches is so childish, I learned it a long time ago, there’s no point for me to attend classes at all!” Saying that, she started to pout, “Auntie Yuning, I want to stay home with you!”

Xu Yuning stroked the little guy’s head and patiently guided him, “Daddy didn’t let you go to kindergarten to let you learn things, he wanted you to experience kindergarten life. Believe me, kindergarten will be fun, you’ll find a lot of fun there.”

Mu Mu bristled, “I don’t think so oh! Kindergarten is full of little kids, they can get hung up on simple questions for a long time, and they’ll cry over the smallest things, it’s not fun!”

“You’re a little kid yourself!” Xu Yuning cried and laughed, patiently coaxing the little one, “Kids cry, didn’t you just cry?”

“……” Mu glared, he admitted that he had just cried, but he didn’t want to admit that he was childish, his black grape-like eyes skittered for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence, “My tears are not the same as them… Hmph!”

Xu Yuning was caught off guard, and with a “pfft-“, he was just amused by the little guy.

She looked at the little one curiously, “How are your tears different from theirs?”

Mu flattened her mouth, “My tears are more handsome looking!”

“Well, all the more reason for you to go to kindergarten!” Xu Yuning followed the little guy’s crooked reasoning and said in a good way, “You’re so handsome, there will be a lot of little girls who will like you, won’t you go and feel it?”

Mu thought for a moment and asked without answering, “Auntie Yuning, do you like me?”

Xu Yuning nodded without hesitation, “Love it!”

“Well, that’s enough!” Mu skimmed her lips, “I don’t need the likes of other girls!”

Xu Yuning smiled helplessly, “Mu Mu, one day, you will need it.”
