Chapter 1864 I Decided to Give Him Freedom (2)
As for Xu Youning...
Mumu probably has no chance to live with her in this life.
If they can still stay in City A openly at this moment, then many things are still possible.
However, from the moment Kangruicheng decided to leave City A, all hope had disappeared.
Xu Youning truly became Mu Sijue's man and had nothing to do with Mu Mu anymore.
From now on, Kang Ruicheng is the only person who can grow up with Mumu.
Therefore, Dongzi hopes that Mumu and Kang Ruicheng can establish a normal father-son relationship.
In other words, Kang Ruicheng and Mu Mu need each other.
Needing each other is the best bond in the world.
Dongzi’s vision is beautiful. But in fact, he understood better than anyone else that Guang Mumu was a huge uncontrollable factor, let alone Kang Ruicheng.
The relationship between Kang Ruicheng and Mu Mu in the future cannot develop according to his wishes, but depends on the subsequent moods of Kang Ruicheng and Mu Mu...
"Dongzi."
While Dongzi was deep in thought, Kang Ruicheng suddenly spoke.
"I made a decision."
Dongzi's thoughts were forcibly pulled back. He looked at Kang Ruicheng blankly and asked puzzledly: "What decision?"
Kang Ruicheng often makes decisions, but he rarely tells anyone about his decisions.
He just needs others to implement his decisions.
This time, something was obviously abnormal.
Dongzi looked at Kang Ruicheng for a moment, for fear of missing any word.
Kang Ruicheng's next words were very brief, just a few words, but they contained a huge amount of information.
"I decided to give Mumu freedom."
This sentence went back and forth in Dongzi's mind several times. Dongzi didn't understand it and had to ask: "Brother Cheng, what kind of 'freedom' are you talking about?"
Kang Ruicheng calmly stated: "I told Mumu that from now on, he can do whatever he wants. I will not ask him for anything, let alone force him to do anything."
This time, Dongzi completely understood.
Kang Ruicheng... meant to give up letting Mu Mu inherit the Kang family.
This means that as he grows older, Kang Ruicheng has to give up everything he owns. It also means that Kang Ruicheng will destroy his promise to his father.
Before his father passed away, Kang Ruicheng promised that he would pass on the Kang family.
Mumu is the only heir to Kangruicheng.
But now, Kangruicheng wants to give Mumu a choice.
Mu Mu obviously would not choose to be an heir.
"Brother Cheng," Dongzi looked sternly and asked word by word, "Have you thought clearly? Our loss is only temporary. Don't be affected by this matter. When the news is over, everything we lost can be Take it back! We can defeat Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue!"
Dongzi thought that this defeat destroyed Kangruicheng's confidence, so Kangruicheng gave Mumu freedom.
However, the truth was not as complicated as he imagined.
"I think very clearly." Kang Ruicheng's voice was sober and calm, "Mumu came to this world not to fulfill my wishes. He should have his own, complete life."
He should have his own, complete life - this sentence was like a magical power, hitting Dongzi's heart hard.
Dongzi felt like he understood why Kang Ruicheng said that.
Kang Ruicheng is a person who has never enjoyed freedom. Before he was born, his father knew that he was a boy and decided to let him inherit everything in the Kang family.
From the moment he learned to walk, Kang Ruicheng has been living for inheritance. It was as if he was a robot without consciousness, being trained by his father and family elders.
Childhood, playmates, friends... these beautiful-sounding words have never had anything to do with life in Kangrui City.
At this age, Kang Ruicheng has probably realized what is missing in his life. Therefore, he decided to fulfill Mumu's life.
He didn't want to be a father like his father, let alone let Mumu repeat his life.
He gave Mumu freedom and let Mumu choose her own life.
This is the best love he can give Mumu currently.
"That's okay." Dongzi said slowly, "Brother Cheng, when Mumu grows up, he will definitely understand you and thank you."
Kang Ruicheng's lips curved into a smile, with a hint of ridicule in the arc.
Dongzi didn't understand it for a moment.
"What I did for Mu Mu was just what a father should do." Kang Ruicheng laughed at himself, "You haven't done anything yet, and you actually want Mu Mu to thank me later?"
Compared to what he did for Mumu, he seemed to owe Mumu more.
Therefore, when he gave Mu Mu freedom, it was more of a compensation to Mu Mu.
Dongzi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Brother Cheng, our situation is different from others. You can't use other people's standards to hold yourself accountable."
Kang Ruicheng said: "No matter what, I have made my decision." The implication was that Dongzi didn't need to say anything more.
Dongzi nodded understandingly and said with pious eyes: "Brother Cheng, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Kang Ruicheng nodded and signaled Dongzi to go about his business.
After Dongzi left, Kang Ruicheng was the only one left in the huge living room.
Kang Ruicheng stood up, walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and pushed open the thick wooden window.
The wind on the mountain is strong and the temperature is low. As soon as the windows are opened, the sharp mountain wind immediately roars in and hits people. The cigarette burned quickly, as if bowing to evil forces, and the ash fell down with the wind.
In China, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Kangruicheng has not felt the Chinese New Year atmosphere for a long time. In other words, he has never felt it well.
From the time he can remember, he has been receiving various trainings every day, and there is no concept of "holidays" in his life.
Sometimes, he felt that it was very lively outside and asked his father what was going on. His father would always answer him coldly: Everything outside was none of his business. He should focus on training.
When he grew up, he began to have the concept of holidays, but he lost interest in the rituals of holidays.
As he grew older, he was often sent abroad to learn more languages and skills. Traveling across the country, he often encounters dazzling festivals, which further makes him lose interest in celebrating festivals.
However, he can imagine how lively the Chinese New Year is.
At this moment, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue must be immersed in the New Year atmosphere and spend this major annual festival in the best mood.
And, in order to avoid being hunted, he could only hide in the mountains and forests. Not only was he frightened, but he also had to think hard about how to avoid being found.
All this is thanks to Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue.
Kang Ruicheng thought about it and unconsciously put out the cigarette in his hand.
One day, he will give back to Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue double what he has endured now.
In the whole house, the only person who was calm and feeling good was Mu Mu.
After Mumu went upstairs, she took off her clothes and shoes and got directly into the sleeping bag.
Dongzi prepared the sleeping bag for him, fearing that he would catch a cold at night.
As it turns out, this sleeping bag was prepared correctly. It was such a cold weather on the mountain. As long as Mumu got in, her whole body would be warmed up in no time.
Today, for some unknown reason, Mumu felt that the sleeping bag warmed up faster.
Well, maybe it’s because I’m in a good mood!
Mumu hid herself in the sleeping bag, leaving only her mouth and nose exposed, and soon fell asleep, falling into a happy dream.
In the dream, he was lying on Kang Ruicheng's back. They went to many places and talked a lot. Most importantly, they were both laughing and there wasn't a word of argument.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Mu woke up with a smile on her lips. He rubbed his eyes, still immersed in his dream and unable to recover.
However, what was more real than the dream was that he did have a pleasant mountain climbing experience with Kang Ruicheng this morning.
In the future, maybe they can all have this pleasant experience whenever he wants.
Thinking about it, Mu Mu suddenly no longer cared about the content of the dream. She got out of the sleeping bag neatly, put on her clothes and shoes, and ran downstairs.
Kang Ruicheng was still standing in front of the living room window.
Twilight falls faster in the mountains than in the city.
It was not yet six o'clock, and the light outside had become dim and gloomy. In such a large environment, the warm orange light in the room looks particularly warm.
Mu Mu's footsteps stopped not far from Kangruicheng, and she called Kangruicheng crisply:
"Daddy!"
Kang Ruicheng turned around and looked at Mu Mu: "Are you awake?"
Mu Mu nodded: "Yes!"
Kang Ruicheng turned around and walked towards the living room, saying, "Come here and tell you something."
"Oh." Mu Mu came over, sat on the sofa, and looked at Kang Ruicheng curiously.
Facing Mu Mu's big, innocent eyes, Kang Ruicheng didn't know how to speak for a moment, and finally had to simplify his words into sentences that didn't sound suspenseful.
"We're going to be here for a long time. You have no toys, no playmates, and no internet to play video games. You can only stay with me."
Mu Mu completely understood Kang Ruicheng's words.
What he didn't understand was: Why did Kang Ruicheng say this with such a serious expression?
Mu Mu blinked and gave Kang Ruicheng a very bland reaction.
"Oh."
Seeing Mu Mu's disinterested look, Kang Ruicheng couldn't help but be a little suspicious and confirmed: "Do you really understand what I'm talking about?" In his impression, Mu Mu was just like an ordinary playful child. It was simply impossible for him to endure the boring days in the mountains. Mu Mu's reaction made him suspect that the little guy didn't understand what he said.
Mu Mu nodded, her big innocent eyes full of sincerity, and said, "I understand."
Kang Ruicheng repeatedly confirmed: "You have no objection? Really?"
Mu Mu shrugged indifferently like an adult: "I really, really have no objection."
"..."
Kang Ruicheng suddenly stopped talking.
He suddenly realized that maybe he had underestimated Mu Mu all along.
In other words, he didn't understand Mumu even though he was his only son.
"Daddy," Mu Mu asked suddenly, "do you want to know why I don't have any objection?"
