Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218 - 1218 – Her Secret May Be Discovered

Mu Mu also realized that Kang Ruicheng had been looking at Xu Yuning too.

However, the little one’s mind was different from normal.

He rolled his eyes a few times, waved his hand towards Xu Yuning, signaling Xu Yuning to attach his ear and whispered in Xu Yuning’s ear, “Auntie Jane Ann told me that it’s only when you like someone that you’ll keep looking at her oh!”

The dining table was large, Mu Mu’s voice was small, Xu Yuning could be sure that Kang Ruicheng would not hear her conversation with Mu Mu.

Xu Yuning couldn’t help but be curious and asked in a low voice, “Why did Auntie Jianan tell you this?”

“Well!” Mu blinked her eyes and said honestly, “When I was at the top of the mountain, I realized that Uncle Mu was always looking at you, so I went to ask Auntie Jane Ann, and that sentence just now was the answer that Auntie Jane Ann told me.”

When he was on top of the mountain, did Mousieu look at her a lot, even triggering the suspicion of a small child?

Xu Yuning restrained himself for a moment, but he still couldn’t resist the laughter that came from his heart.

A smile quickly surfaced on the corners of Xu Yuning’s lips as she rubbed Mu Mu’s head, “Alright, let’s eat first.”

Kang Ruicheng chucked a vegetable and asked as if he didn’t care, “What are you guys talking about?”

Xu Yuning hadn’t figured out how to deal with Kang Ruicheng yet, Mu Mu had already made a face at Kang Ruicheng and said mysteriously and secretly, “Daddy, this is a secret between Auntie Yuning and I, I can’t tell you oh!”

The little guy was smiling, and as soon as he heard it, he knew it wasn’t something important, so Kang Ruicheng didn’t pursue it.

The meal ended on a fairly peaceful note.

Xu Yuning didn’t want to get entangled with Kang Ruicheng, and was about to go to the living room with Mu Mu when Kang Ruicheng put down his mouth wiping towel and caught him off guard, “Ah Ning, is there anything you want to tell me?”

“…… “Xu Yuning froze for a moment before reacting, looking at Kang Ruicheng in disbelief, “What?”

Kang Ruicheng’s gaze was deep and uncertain as he reminded Xu Yuning, “Think carefully again, is there something you forgot to tell me? It’s not too late for you to say it now.”

“……”

Xu Yuning was calm on the surface, but in reality, it was as if he had been hit with a headbutt, and his entire body was shaken severely.

Kang Ruicheng’s words clearly carried a hint of innuendo.

What does he mean?

Or has he finally realized something?

Had her worst fears finally come true?

Mu Mu circled around to Xu Yuning’s front, in a protective stance, and looked at Kang Ruicheng with her waist crossed in an unbelievable manner, “Daddy, you’re really weird today!”

Kang Ruicheng glanced at the brat, his complexion sinking seriously, “Mu Mu, I’m talking to Auntie Yuning, don’t interrupt!” His tone clearly carried a strong command.

However, in Mu Mu’s opinion, Kang Ruicheng’s attitude was purely mean.

Heck, he’s never been so mean!

The brat flattened his mouth in aggravation and turned back to pout with Xu Yuning, “Auntie Yuning ……”

“Good boy, it’s fine.” Xu Yuning finally came back to her senses, pulling Mu Mu’s hand, meeting Kang Ruicheng’s gaze, faintly asking back, “Did you misunderstand something?”

Kang Ruicheng sneered, “You mean you have nothing to tell me?”

Xu Yuning, regardless of whether there was one or not, directly shook his head with certainty: “There isn’t one.”

“Very good!” Kang Ruicheng gritted his teeth, his smile was like a thick layer of ice, “Ah Ning, I hope your bottom is always this strong.”

The trailing voice fell, and without waiting for Xu Yuning to react, Kang Ruicheng flung his hands away.

Kang Ruicheng didn’t tell Xu Yuning that he didn’t have anything to do today, and there was no need for him to make a special trip back.

He rushed back just to give Xu Yuning one last chance.

No matter what Xu Yuning came back to the Kang family for this time, no matter what she stayed by his side for, no matter whether she had feelings for Mu Siju or not ……

As long as she was honest and told him everything, he could forgive her and leave it at that.

However, Xu Yuning did not cherish this opportunity.

In that case, when he found out the truth, Xu Yuning couldn’t blame him for being desperate.

Neither Xu Yuning nor Mu Mu moved, the two of them stood at the junction of the living room and the dining room, staring blankly at Kang Ruicheng’s back.

Mu Mu pulled Xu Yuning’s sleeve with a puzzled expression, “Auntie Yuning, daddy is so strange.”

Xu Yuning’s complexion had become serious at some point, and she held Mu Mu’s hand, “Let’s go back to our room.”

Mu Mu obediently “Oh”, jumped up and followed Xu Yuning upstairs.

As soon as he returned to his room, Xu Yuning unlocked the door, squatted down to look at Mu Mu solemnly, and said after a moment’s delay, “Your daddy found me.”

“……” Mu Mu looked at Xu Yuning in disbelief and said in a milky voice, “Auntie Yuning, you’re right here, not just daddy, I can spot you too.”

“……” Xu Yuning was made to laugh and cry by the little one’s naturally dull reaction, and finally decided to make things a little clearer, “Mu Mu, I mean, your daddy found out my secret. ”

Mu blinked and immediately became anxious, grasping Xu Yuning’s hand as if he was on the verge of an attack, “How did daddy find out?”

“I don’t know.” Xu Yuning shook his head and continued, “However, your daddy shouldn’t have found conclusive evidence yet, and if he did, I don’t know what would happen to me.”

Mu Mu’s eyes instantly turned red, and she said at a loss for words, “Auntie Yuning, you should leave now! Go find Uncle Mu and never come back!”

Xu Yuning walked over to the window and peered out the same way, saying in a low voice, “Mu Mu, I can’t leave.”

If she wasn’t wrong, Kang Ruicheng was already suspicious of her, and right now, he should be arranging manpower to spy on her.

If it was before, during the heyday of her fighting ability, she might have been able to escape the Kang family mansion through the layers of obstacles and escape from death.

But now, not only is she sick, but she’s pregnant with a child and her life is in danger at every turn.

She couldn’t do anything rash.

Otherwise, she will not only hurt the child, but may put her own life in danger.

Mu Mu’s pretty and cute eyebrows knitted into a tight ball, “Auntie Yuning, what about you?”

“…… “Xu Yuning thought for a moment and tried to say in an optimistic tone, “I’ll wait for Uncle Mu ah.”

Mu cocked her head, “Auntie Yunin, is this the right choice?”

“……”

Xu Yuning was more or less surprised.

She thought Mu Mu would ask if Mu Si Jue would really come. Or he would ask why she was waiting for Mu Si Jue?

However, the little one could actually realize that she needed to make a right choice at such a critical moment.

Mu was right to worry.

Xu Yuning stroked the little one’s head and said with a smile, “This is the best choice I’ve made so far!”

She had already asked Fang Heng to relay her situation to Mu Si Jue, who already knew that Kang Rui Cheng was beginning to suspect her.

She still understood Mu Sijun, in this situation, he would definitely come over as early as possible, pick her up and get her out of harm’s way.

Therefore, she didn’t act rashly, and waited a little longer, so she might be able to wait for Mu Sijun to come over.

Of course, waiting around so dryly is risky.

In case Kang Ruicheng moves faster and finds out the truth and she is defenseless, she will be in danger.

However, Xu Yuning still preferred to trust Mu Sijue, believing that he would come over in time and take her out of this place.

Mu nodded, also looking confident, “Uncle Mu will definitely come! Before Uncle Mu comes, I’ll protect you!”

After saying that, the little guy’s eyes suddenly reddened, and in the next second, he jumped into Xu Yuning’s arms, wailing and crying.

The reversal came so quickly that Xu Yuning was a bit caught off guard.

However, she quickly reacted that the little one couldn’t leave her alone.

By leaving this time, she would literally never come back.

She and Mu Mu, may never see each other again in eternity.

Thinking so, an astringent acid also bubbled up in the bottom of Xu Yuning’s heart, and he couldn’t help but reach out and hug Mu Mu.

“Auntie Yuning,” Mu grew sad and choked, “If I never see you again, will …… Uncle Mu be nice to you?”

“Will do.” Xu Yuning said with certainty, “Mu Mu, I will be fine in the future, you don’t have to worry about me. However, you have to promise me one thing.”

Mu rubbed her eyes and nodded, saying without hesitation, “I promise.”

Xu Yuning smiled, “I haven’t said what it is yet.”

Mu Mu then reacted as if she had just come to her senses, and asked, “Auntie Yuning, what’s the matter?”

“You have to take care of yourself.” Xu Yuning touched the little one’s head, “None of us can predict what will happen in the future, we might still be able to meet. The premise is that you have to grow up well.”

The words “maybe we can still meet” planted hope in Mu’s heart, and the little guy nodded heavily, “Okay, I promise!”

“Don’t cry.” Xu Yuning used the back of his hand to help Mu Mu wipe her tears, “In front of your daddy, we have to pretend we don’t know anything, okay?”

Mu cooperated very well and closed her eyes hard to stop her tears.

Perhaps he was tired of crying, and in a short while, Mu collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

Xu Yuning helped the little guy adjust his posture and pulled the quilt over to cover him, and the little guy suddenly murmured in his sleep, “Auntie Yuning ……”

Xu Yuning’s heart softened and she answered, “Uh, I’m here.”

“……” Mu didn’t say anything else next, sleepy and innocent.

It was only then that Xu Yuning reacted to the fact that the little one had only called her in her dream.

For Mu Mu, Xu Yuning is not a so-called mom-like character, but a very important friend in his life.

It was inevitable that he would be sad when Xu Yuning left just like that.

But they both knew that she couldn’t stay.

Once she stayed, danger would haunt Xu Yuning like a demon, and her already limited life might become even shorter.

Xu Yuning couldn’t let go of Mu Mu either, but Mu Mu didn’t retain her, and she could only force herself to let go of Mu Mu.

Mu Mu is still young, he has a long, long life ahead of him.

However, Xu Yuning knew clearly that she couldn’t accompany him or help him with anything anymore.

Xu Yuning could only silently pray that this little guy could grow up healthy.

Thinking about it, Xu Yuning stroked the little one’s head and muttered to himself, “Mu Mu, you will definitely do it, right?”
