Chapter 1013 I Like You So Much

“Auntie Youning, what were you looking for in Daddy’s study?”

Xu Youning froze and didn’t know how to answer Mumu’s question.

“Should she tell him frankly that she sneaked in to find evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s crimes so that she could send Kang Ruicheng to prison and bring him to justice?”

No matter whether Kang Ruicheng was a good father, Mumu loved him.

“If she told him the truth, he would regret helping her, wouldn’t he?”

However, she could not conceal it forever.

When Mumu grew up, he would know that she came back this time to seek revenge.

He would eventually regret having treated her so well.

Thinking of this, Xu Youning had mixed feelings and subconsciously loosened her hold.

Mumu noticed Xu Youning’s hesitancy and freed himself from her arms. “Auntie Youning, you don’t have to answer my question. I’m happy that you’re fine,” he said.

Xu Youning’s eyes reddened even more. She closed her eyes to hold back her tears and it was only after a long while that she could finally open her eyes. She looked at Mumu and said, “Mumu, I’m sorry.”

Mumu pursed his small lips and reached out to hug Xu Youning. He said in a low, sobbing voice, “Auntie Youning, you have to protect yourself and don’t let yourself be discovered by Daddy.”

He had already guessed that Auntie Youning went into Daddy’s study to find something that Daddy didn’t want anyone to find out.

However, Auntie Youning still went in.

Compared with Kang Ruicheng’s secrets being exposed, Mumu was more worried that Xu Youning would be discovered.

Although Mumu rarely lived with Kang Ruicheng, he understood the killing trait of Kang Ruicheng’s character.

No matter what Xu Youning was looking for, he didn’t want her to be discovered, because once she was, she would be in danger.

Mumu hoped that Xu Youning could live well, even if they would never meet again after she left this time.

Xu Youning’s mind was full of Mumu’s statement “don’t be discovered by Daddy,” and she almost cried. In the end, she tried her best to stop herself from crying and said, “Okay, I promise you.”

Mumu released Xu Youning and looked at her seriously. “Uncle Ah Jin and I will help you to leave this place. Auntie Youning, go back and find Uncle Mu.”

Yes, Mumu knew—for Xu Youning, the only safe place to be was with Mu Sijue.

In the end, Xu Youning couldn’t help bursting into tears.

Mumu wiped away Xu Youning’s tears and pursed his lips with a smile. “Auntie Youning, I’ll miss you.”

Xu Youning held the little guy in her arms, and her heart melted.

For a moment, she didn’t want to leave. If she had to leave, she wanted to take Mumu with her.

She couldn’t let go of Mumu. She wanted to see this little guy grow up and have his own life.

However, the current situation did not allow her to have so many choices.

If she wanted to protect her child and survive, she could only let go of Mumu and leave the Kang family.

She was destined to be indebted to Mumu forever.

Mumu reached out and gently wiped away Xu Youning’s tears. “Auntie Youning, don’t cry. If Daddy suddenly comes back, he will think that I bullied you. I don’t want to admit that I bullied you. I like you so much!”

Xu Youning couldn’t help laughing and nodded. “Okay. I won’t cry.”

“Take me to have a shower!” Mumu’s lovely smile returned to his face in a second, and he looked as innocent as usual. “I want to go to bed early! Uncle Ah Jin said that children who go to bed early will grow up quickly!”

Xu Youning took the little fellow to the bathroom and asked, “Do you believe in Uncle Ah Jin?”

“I do!” Mumu pushed open the bathroom door and looked at Xu Youning innocently. “Uncle Ah Jin won’t lie to me!”

Xu Youning didn’t speak, but sighed in her heart—

She didn’t know if it was a good thing that the little guy was so naive.

She only hoped that Mumu would never be hurt.

After the shower, Xu Youning and the little fellow both calmed down.

Mumu drank the milk obediently and soon fell asleep.

After experiencing the near-scare, Xu Youning had no energy to deal with anything. Not long after she lay down, she fell asleep as well.

Before falling asleep, Xu Youning thought that if there was a chance, she should talk with Ah Jin.

If Ah Jin was really on Mu Sijue’s side, with Ah Jin’s help, she might be able to escape from the Kang family house.

Xu Youning didn’t expect that at breakfast the next day, there was no sign of Ah Jin in the house.

Halfway through her meal, she pretended to ask casually, “Where’s Ah Jin?”

She was not afraid of arousing Kang Ruicheng’s suspicions. During this period, Ah Jin had always been with them during breakfast.

Ah Jin had suddenly disappeared today. It would not be strange for her to ask about him.

Kang Ruicheng said while eating, “I have some affairs to deal with in Country C, so I sent Ah Jin there. What? Do you need him for anything?”

“No. I’m just curious about why he isn’t here today.” Xu Youning quickly diverted her attention to something else. “Today’s porridge is very delicious. Mumu, what do you think?”

“Yes!” Mumu nodded and gave Xu Youning an approving smile. “I like it too!”

Xu Youning smiled and gave Mumu a high five as if she didn’t recall that she had mentioned Ah Jin and in the blink of an eye, she had forgotten about Ah Jin being sent abroad.

Seeing that Xu Youning’s attention had been diverted, Kang Ruicheng didn’t say anything more and left after breakfast.

In fact, it was not so easy for Kang Ruicheng to ignore Xu Youning’s actions.

As soon as he got in the car, Kang Ruicheng ordered Dongzi, “Pay attention to A Ning during this period of time.”

Dongzi didn’t understand and asked blankly, “Brother Cheng, is there anything wrong with… Ms. Xu?”

Kang Ruicheng remembered when Xu Youning was in the study yesterday afternoon.

When he found out, Xu Youning didn’t look guilty or panic at all. Later, Mumu suddenly appeared and after he checked the surveillance video, Xu Youning was no longer under suspicion.

However, this couldn’t dispel his suspicions.

If he hadn’t come back, who could guarantee that Xu Youning wouldn’t have rummaged through his study?

“I’m not sure yet.” Kang Ruicheng’s eyes darkened. “But you can’t be too careful.”

Dongzi nodded and said, “I see. I will pay attention to it.” Then he started the car.

After the car drove out of the city, Kang Ruicheng continued, “Also, if you have time, carefully filter the surveillance footage of yesterday afternoon to see if there is anything wrong.”

The Kang family was heavily guarded, and there had never been any mistakes. Kang Ruicheng had never checked the surveillance footage.

But this time, he asked Dongzi to filter out the surveillance footage from yesterday.

“Could it be that there was something wrong within the Kang family?”

Thinking of Kang Ruicheng’s order to pay attention to Xu Youning, Dongzi soon thought of something. He shivered inside and replied seriously, “I see!”

Kang Ruicheng didn’t say anything, and his eyes became gloomy.

Should he find out that Xu Youning was up to something, he swore that from today on, it would be the countdown to Xu Youning’s death.

In the old house, Xu Youning didn’t lower her guard either.

After Kang Ruicheng left, Xu Youning handed Mumu to one of his men, locked herself in the room, and sorted out everything.

Ah Jin was working for Mu Sijue. He had helped her several times at the most critical moments, which showed that… Mu Sijue really knew what she was hiding.

Besides, Ah Jin worked for Mu Sijue, so it was not difficult to understand why he seemed to hate her so much before.

Ah Jin probably thought that she had killed an innocent baby as Mu Sijue did.

If that was the case, she thought she knew when Mu Sijue had discovered the truth.

It was probably when Ah Jin’s attitude toward her had suddenly taken a turn for the better.

Although she couldn’t be sure how Mu Sijue knew the truth, at least, she was no longer alone and helpless.

However, even so, her situation was not optimistic at all.

The reason why she was able to escape yesterday was that Ah Jin had helped her modify the surveillance footage.

However, according to Kang Ruicheng’s skeptical nature, he would not believe everything so easily. Next, he would pay attention to her actions.

That was to say, she couldn’t take any action from now on.

Otherwise, once Kang Ruicheng found something wrong, she would be dead meat.

In addition, if she guessed correctly, Kang Ruicheng would ask someone to filter out the surveillance video, and that person would likely be the meticulous Dongzi.

Dongzi was good at it. If he paid attention, he would soon find that there was something wrong with the video, and Kang Ruicheng would immediately know that she was guilty.

Most importantly, Ah Jin had been transferred overseas and there was no way for him to help her.

She only had two choices. She could either find a way to erase the traces of the video being tampered with or escape before Dongzi found something abnormal.

However, each of them was a challenge for her.

Even if she survived this ordeal, she didn’t know if she could escape from the deadly disease.

Her fate was still full of unknowns.

Xu Youning took a deep breath, calmed down, and went downstairs to find Mumu.

The little fellow stood at the door of the vegetable shed with his hands clasped in front of his chest. He closed his eyes devoutly and mouthed something silently. No one knew what he was saying.

Xu Youning walked over, and Mumu happened to open his eyes.

She smiled and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I’m praying!” Mumu looked up at the sky and said, “I hope that the next time you encounter danger, the angels will help you.”

Mumu still believed in fairy tales and he also believed in the existence of angels.

Xu Youning smiled and stroked the little fellow’s head. “I don’t need an angel. You are my little angel.”

“Well!” The little fellow pulled Xu Youning into the vegetable shed and asked in a low voice, “Auntie Youning, is Uncle Mu still at the top of the mountain? I want to find him and ask him to pick you up.”

Xu Youning was stunned and shook her head. “He should not be at the top of the mountain now.”

Mumu blinked and asked, “Then where can I find Uncle Mu?”

Xu Youning thought for a moment, told Mumu the address of Dingya Villas, and said, “This is the address of Auntie Jian’an’s house. If you go there, even if you can’t find Uncle Mu, you’ll definitely find Auntie Jian’an. But, you can’t run around. If your daddy found out that you went to Auntie Jian’an’s house, you wouldn’t be able to explain it, understand?”

Mumu silently memorized the address of Dingya Villas and nodded. “I know!”
