Chapter 1228 It’s Enough that You Like Me

Kang Ruicheng's question came out of the blue, and Xu Youning's heart thumped hard.

Kang Ruicheng didn't say it clearly, but she still vaguely understood why Kang Ruicheng did this.

Last night, Kang Ruicheng should have determined that her purpose of coming back was not simple.

Therefore, as soon as he came back today, he was eager to separate her and Mu Mu.

Kang Ruicheng should be worried that when he wants to expose her, she will use Mumu to escape.

But, she knew, that would never happen.

Even if she has no way to survive, she will never take advantage of Mu Mu.

She hopes Mumu can grow up healthily more than anyone else. How could she possibly use him and leave a shadow and trauma in his heart?

However, even if she could tell Kang Ruicheng clearly, Kang Ruicheng would not believe it.

Besides, she and Mu Mu really should separate.

Otherwise, when the time comes to actually separate, the little one won't be able to bear it.

With this in mind, Xu Youning did not argue with Kang Ruicheng. He just said, "You should let Mu Mu and I discuss this matter."

Kang Ruicheng sneered and looked at Xu Youning gloomily: "You mean, Mu Mu will listen to you more?"

Xu Youning knew that she might have been exposed, but she still had no fear at all. She met Kang Ruicheng's gaze and asked, "Isn't it?"

In fact, compared to Kang Ruicheng, the father, Mu Mu did listen to Xu Youning more.

Kang Ruicheng was choked and speechless. In the end, he could only say in a muffled voice: "I'll give you a chance. You can tell him now."

Xu Youning ignored Kang Ruicheng and stretched out his hand towards Mu Mu: "Mu Mu, come over to my side."

Mu Mu walked over aggrievedly, looking at Xu Youning with tearful eyes, still sobbing.

It can be seen that the little ghost is very sad, and the little person looks helpless and pitiful.

Xu Youning felt a sore feeling in his heart. He stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on the little guy's face and said, "I want to talk to you, is that okay?"

"Well, okay." Mu Mu choked and nodded.

Xu Youning was very patient and looked at the little guy softly: "Why are you crying so hard? Is it because you have to go to school or because you are separated from me?"

I don't know which sentence hit Mu Mu's tear ducts, and the little guy let out a "wow" and cried again.

This was not Xu Youning's first time dealing with this situation, but since the other party was Mu Mu, she was still a little at a loss and could only coax the little guy: "Don't cry, you can tell me slowly."

Mu Mu cried loudly and said, "Aunt Youning, I don't want to be separated from you."

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

"I..." Mu Mu choked, her voice full of innocence, "I haven't forgotten..."

"Then don't cry." Xu Youning whispered in Mu Mu's ear, "You have to do what you promised me."

Mu Mu promised Xu Youning that no matter what happens, he will not cry and will grow up well.

Xu Youning said this, and the little guy could only nod his head and stop his tears, leaving only a shallow sob.

Xu Youning helped the little guy wipe away the tears on his face and coaxed him for a while before going to find Kang Ruicheng.

Kang Ruicheng was reading a document. Seeing Xu Youning coming over, he asked coldly: "How is Mumu?"

"Mumu is fine." Xu Youning paused, then asked, "When do you plan to send Mumu to school?"

"There is no need to discuss this afternoon." Kang Ruicheng glanced at Mu Mu, his voice without any emotion, "You'd better help him accept this fact."

Xu Youning looked at Kang Ruicheng in confusion: "Can't you give Mumu an extra half day?"

"Haha -" Kang Ruicheng's eyes became a little deeper, "He is my son, but fate did not give him extra time."

"..."

Xu Youning opened his mouth, but found that he had no words to reply.

Kang Ruicheng did this for Mu Mu's consideration.

She had to admit that as Kang Ruicheng's son, Mumu had to grow up faster and learn more skills faster than other children.

Otherwise, danger will find him at any time, and the danger will not take into account that he is only a five-year-old child, and will only attack him cruelly and ruthlessly.

In fact, Kangruicheng did consider Mumu.

He has determined that Xu Youning does not really want to come back. Once there is a chance, she will definitely leave.

In the end, he and Mu Mu will be the only ones left in this family.

In this case, why didn't he let Mu Mu adapt to the life without Xu Youning earlier?

Otherwise, based on how much Mu Mu relies on Xu Youning, he will definitely be even more sad than he is now on the day Xu Youning leaves.

There are many injuries that children should adapt to as soon as possible.

Kang Ruicheng then emphasized coldly: "Whether you can make peace with Mu Mu or not, he must go to school this afternoon!"

His tone sounded like it was non-negotiable.

Xu Youning was too lazy to argue with him and nodded: "I understand. I will discuss it with Mu Mu and persuade him to accept your arrangement."

Kang Ruicheng snorted coldly: "I'll give you thirty minutes."

He went upstairs without looking back, and Dongzi hurriedly followed him.

Entering the study room, Kang Ruicheng seemed to be very tired. He slumped down on the office chair, lit another cigarette and started smoking out of boredom.

Dongzi stood in front of the table, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Brother Cheng, I thought you would do something to Miss Xu when you came back. But, you didn't do anything. Why is that?"

The moment he knew the purpose of Xu Youning's return, Kang Ruicheng clearly collapsed in rage.

Dongzi knows Kang Ruicheng, and according to his usual style, he will deal with Xu Youning as soon as he comes back.

Kangrui City has always had zero tolerance for traitors.

However, the fact is that after Kang Ruicheng came back, there was no movement at all, as if he didn't know anything yet.

This completely goes against Kang Ruicheng's style, that's why Dongzi is so surprised.

Kang Ruicheng took a deep drag on the cigarette and raised the corners of his lips with an unknown arc: "You think my behavior is ridiculous, don't you? I think it's ridiculous too."

The more Dongzi listened, the less he understood. He looked at Kang Ruicheng in confusion: "Brother Cheng, why...why do you say that?"

Kang Ruicheng blew out a circle of smoke and said slowly: "The moment I saw Aning sneaking into my study, I was almost sure that she came back to me as an undercover agent. At that moment, I wanted to deal with her immediately. But after returning home, Seeing her, I suddenly changed my focus."

Dongzi then asked: "Brother Cheng, what are you going to do now?"

"..." This time, Kang Ruicheng paused for a long time before saying slowly, "What's my plan? As long as she doesn't try to leave, I won't reveal her identity, and I won't care what she provides to Mu Sijue; I'll keep her as long as she wants to stay here. I might even give him another chance if she confesses to me."

Facts have proved that Kang Ruicheng still overestimated himself.

He thought that in anger, she could be cruel to Xu Youning.

However, he still wanted to let her go and give her another chance.

"..." Dongzi was silent for a long time and said in a sighing tone, "Brother Cheng, you really like Miss Xu."

Kang Ruicheng raised the corners of his lips, and his smile looked a little bleak: "Maybe." After a pause, he lit another cigarette, "You go down."

Dongzi opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing, nodded, and left the study.

On the way downstairs, Dongzi sighed all the way.

He didn't know whether he should feel lucky or sad for Xu Youning.

He knew very well that Kang Ruicheng would never tolerate someone without any reason.

Kangruicheng's tolerance is all because of expectations.

This time, Kang Ruicheng obviously expected Xu Youning to change his mind, give up on Mu Sijue, and return to him.

If Xu Youning couldn't understand Kang Ruicheng's intention and insisted on going back to find Mu Sijue, then... her end would be worse than if Kang Ruicheng dealt with her now.

Once he fails to live up to Kang Ruicheng's expectations, Xu Youning will be miserable.

This is that people who are loved deeply but don't get it in the end are often hurt.

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

Mu Mu flattened her mouth with a face full of reluctance: "I don't want to go to kindergarten. The things the teacher teaches are so childish. I have learned them a long time ago. There is no point in my class!" Then she started acting coquettishly, "Aunt Youning, I want to be at home with you!"

Xu Youning touched the little guy's head and patiently guided him: "Daddy asked you to go to kindergarten, not to let you learn things, but to let you experience the life of kindergarten. Believe me, kindergarten will be fun, and you will There’s a lot of fun to be found there.”

Mu Mu curled her lips: "I don't think so! Kindergartens are full of brats. They can struggle with very simple problems for a long time, and they will cry over trivial things. It's not fun!"

"You are a kid yourself!" Xu Youning couldn't help but coax the little guy patiently, "Children can cry. Didn't you just cry?"

"..." Mu Mu stared. He admitted that he had cried just now, but he did not want to admit that he was childish. His eyes like black grapes rolled around for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence, "My tears have nothing to do with theirs." It’s the same, hum!”

Xu Youning was caught off guard, "Pfft--" and was amused by the little guy.

She looked at the little guy curiously: "What's the difference between your tears and theirs?"

Mu Mu flattened her mouth: "My tears look more handsome!"

"Well, then you should go to kindergarten!" Xu Youning followed the little guy's reasoning and said, "You are so handsome, there will be many little girls who like you, don't you go and feel it?"

Mu Mu thought for a while and asked instead: "Aunt Youning, do you like me?"

Xu Youning nodded without hesitation: "I like it!"

"Well, that's enough!" Mu Mu curled her lips, "I don't need other girls to like me!"

Xu Youning smiled helplessly: "Mumu, one day, you will need it."
