Outside, the villa of Lord Mushi.
As soon as he returned home, Mu Sijun immediately logged into the game, and Xu Yuningâs avatar was still dark.
Disappointment clouded his heart like a haze.
He connected to the WiFi at Luâs house just to see if Xu Yuning was online, and was disappointed to find that Xu Yuning was not online.
His talk of finding something to do with himself was nothing more than a distraction.
In the end, he did nothing and drove home, opening the game over and over again just to see if Xu Yuning was online.
Musashi knew full well that he was just emotionally affected this way, and that he was wasting his time.
However, he just couldnât feel at ease when he couldnât see Xu Yuning on the line.
Muji Jiu lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, slowly exhaled out of his eyes, and at the end, glanced at the tablet again.
It was at this time that Xu Yuningâs avatar lit up.
And itâs not an illusion!
Mu Sijiu extinguished his cigarette at the first opportunity, and in the next second had picked up his tablet and opened the dialog box with Xu Yuning.
He wondered if he was so excited that his heart actually began to beat faster.
He was about to type a message when the dialog box popped up with a new message â
Xu Yuning sent a questioning emoji and asked, âWhy are you online?â
Musashi raised an eyebrow, dribbling his fingers as he typed, âIâm waiting for you.â
Not a too unexpected answer, but Xu Yuningâs heartbeat still missed a beat.
She used to think that Musashi lacked romantic cells and had spat at him more than once for that.
But now it seems that Musashi is just missing someone to develop his romantic cells.
After a while, Xu Yuning calmed down, suppressing his emotions and not letting his surprise and leaps show between the lines, asking in a flat tone, âWhat if I donât go online today?â
âNever mind.â Mu Sijun replied very briskly, âI can always wait.â
He couldnât believe that Xu Yuning would stay offline.
Xu Yuning smiled helplessly, âAlright, letâs get down to business.â
Mu Sijiu pondered for a moment before slowly saying, âYuning, wait for me for a few more days.â
Xu Yuning knew that what Mu Sijiu meant was that he would act immediately.
She wonât have to stay in this place much longer.
Xu Yuningâs lips couldnât help but rise slightly as he forcefully typed a word into the input box, âUh-huh!â
She didnât say much or ask any more questions.
Thatâs how much she trusts Mousse.
Mu Sijiu looked at Xu Yuningâs simple and forceful reply, and the anxiety that had grown in his heart because he couldnât wait for Xu Yuning was finally slowly smoothed out.
He paused for a while before asking Xu Yuning, âHow do you feel today?â
âPretty good.â Xu Yuning pretended to be relaxed and said lightly, âI donât have any uncomfortable feelings for the time being, and besides, I have Mu Mu with me.â
Mu Sijun raised an eyebrow in confusion, âWasnât that kid sent to kindergarten?â
Xu Yuning laughed, âHeâs playing hard to get today and refuses to go.â
Mu Sijun didnât need to think about it to know that if the brat didnât go to kindergarten, he would definitely stick to Xu Yuning like a dogâs ass ointment.
He spat nonchalantly, âBrat.â
âIf Mu Mu saw it, she would definitely scold you for being a stinky uncle.â Xu Yuning smiled sweetly and helplessly, âLetâs not talk about it, letâs do this first so as not to attract attention.â
Mu Sijiu âhmmâ sound, thought about it, and sent Xu Yuning a âkissâ emoticon.
Xu Yuning stared wide-eyed, staring fixedly at that last expression in the dialog box, a jolt running through his body.
The Mu Sijiu she remembered was venomous, cold-blooded, arrogant, unreasonable and egotistical, and did not go with such beautiful words as âgentle and romanticâ.
But, how could such a Mr. Musi send a âkissâ emoticon?
She had to say, it was too weird to be Mousie like that!
Xu Yuningâs entire body trembled and decisively went offline.
She was still more accustomed to the old Musashi!
On this side of the villa in the suburbs, Mu Sijun noticed that Xu Yuning was no longer replying, but the avatar went dark after a long time.
He didnât have to think too hard to imagine Xu Yuningâs tangled and speechless face.
The corners of Mu Sijunâs lips rose slightly, and his mood just inexplicably improved as he exited the game and went upstairs to rest.
Mousse knew full well that it was not a good thing to have oneâs mood casually swayed.
However, if the one who swayed his mood is Xu Yuning, he seems â¦â¦ not to mind.
When Mu Siju was in the right mood, Xu Yuning, who was far away from the Kang familyâs old mansion, was holding a tablet computer, leaning her back against the bed, staring at the ceiling for a long time, and the whole person froze without any movement.
Xu Yuning thought about it, and suddenly realized that if she could go back, then this time, what she saw must be a very different Mu Siju from before.
In fact, she had gotten used to the old Musashi.
But she was equally looking forward to the brand new Mousse now.
This night, Xu Yuning had a good nightâs sleep.
The next day, Xu Yuning was woken up by a knock on the door, and as soon as she opened her eyes, Mu Muâs voice came in along with the knock on the door, âAuntie Yuning, are you awake yet?â
Xu Yuning sat up, casually ran his hand through his hair, and walked over to open the door.
Mu Mu pounced in at once, hugging Xu Yuning and rubbing her affectionately, her voice soft and cute, âGood morning, Auntie Yuning!â
âOdd.â Xu Yuning smiled and stroked the little oneâs head, âGood morning.â
âWell!â Mu Mu pushed Xu Yuning towards the room while saying, âLetâs go in first, I have something to discuss with you oh.â
Xu Yuning was still a bit sleepy, but with Mu Mu making such a mess, she was completely awake and looked at the little one in wonder, âWhatâs wrong?â
Mu Mu began to wiggle her butt and pout, âAuntie Yuning, I donât want to go to kindergarten.â
Xu Yuning squatted down and looked at the little one, helplessly shaking his head, âThis matter, I canât help you decide.â
She didnât know when it started, what she said in the Kang family no longer carried any weight, even if she just specified what the maid would make for breakfast tomorrow, the maid would reply to her that she would have to ask Mr. Kang first before she could do so.
Things like whether Mu Mu could not go to kindergarten or not was even more out of Xu Yuningâs hands to decide.
Mu Mu shook Xu Yuningâs hand, âAuntie Yuning, then can you help me ask daddy.â
Xu Yuning nodded, âSure, but I donât guarantee the result oh.â
She led Mu Mu downstairs and conveyed Mu Muâs intentions to Kang Ruicheng, who balked, âNo way!â
Mu Mu didnât expect Xu Yuning to be useless even if he stepped in, and all of a sudden she became aggravated and looked at Kang Ruicheng with a watering cry, âDaddy, why?â
âBecause you have to go to school!â Kang Ruichengâs voice was cold, âYesterday was a special case, so you were allowed to take a day off. But from today onwards, you must go to school on time!â
Mu Mu flattened her mouth, and in the end, she couldnât help but let out a âwowâ cry.
However, no matter how much Mu Mu cried and resisted, Kang Ruicheng didnât soften his heart, and in the end, he directly handed Mu Mu over to Dong Zi so that Dong Zi could send him to school.
Xu Yuning knew why Kang Ruicheng did this and ate her breakfast silently, Kang Ruicheng sat across from her, but she had zero communication with Kang Ruicheng the entire time.
The two finished breakfast and Tohko returned.
Xu Yuning finally spoke, asking, âHow is Mu Mu?â
âItâll be quiet by the time we get to school.â Dongzi said, âI gave him to the teacher, it should be fine.â
Xu Yuning âhmmâ, got up and walked in the direction of the stairway.
Dongziâs gaze eerily glanced at Xu Yuningâs back, his tone sounding a bit creepy: âBrother Cheng, I found something I need to tell you.â
Kang Ruicheng âhmmâ, before he could say anything, the police entered the door.
Kang Ruicheng has committed many crimes and the police have been tracking him down, but there is no way to get hold of the evidence, so they can only let him get away with it.
Whatâs with the police coming over all of a sudden today?
Could it be that itâs Mousseguy whoâs making a move?
Thatâs not true. He clearly didnât say anything yesterday!
Before Xu Yuning could organize his messy thoughts, he saw the police officer walking towards Dongzi.
âHello, we are police officers from the Old Town Precinct.â The police officer showed Dongzi his police|Cha|card and continued, âThis morning, we received a report from a citizen that your wifeâs body was found at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs. All indications are that your wife died of homicide. We need you to come with us and assist us in our investigation to find your wifeâs murderer as soon as possible.â
ââ¦â¦â Tohko looked at the police officer without much reaction, his gaze calm and unruffled.
The policeman thought Dongzi was sad and comforted him, âMy condolences, the most important thing now is to find out the real culprit who killed your wife.â
As it turns out, it was Mr. Policeman who thought too much.
Tohkoâs reaction to his wifeâs murder was so calm that it even took him less than half a minute to accept the news.
Dongzi turned his head, calmly looked at Kang Ruicheng, and said in a clear and organized manner, âBrother Cheng, what I said just now, Iâll tell you more carefully when I come back from the police station.â
Kang Ruicheng didnât know if he was surprised by Dongziâs reaction, and rarely froze for a while before he responded and nodded, âOkay, you take care of your business first.â
Tohko looked calmly at the police and said, âWe can go now.â
The two policemen looked at each other, glanced at each other, and walked away with Dongzi, with an obvious extra dash of skepticism in their expressions.
Xu Yuning knew what the police were suspecting.
Just by the way Dongzi reacted, she couldnât help but wonder if the person who killed Dongziâs wife could be Dongzi himself.
However, Dongzi was a very family-oriented person, and his daughter had just been born, so how could he possibly lay hands on his wife?
However, compared to this question, Xu Yuning was more curious about what Dongzi was going to say to Kang Ruicheng.
If she didn t hear it wrong, Dongzi s tone â¦â¦ seemed to have a strong killing aura.
And, that murderous aura seems to be directed at the people in this house.
It was impossible for Dongzi to target Kang Ruicheng, so the only possible person left was her.
What did Tohko find out?
