Xu Yuning vowed that she would win this tug-of-war so that she could keep her baby!
She decided to go soft first.
She looked at Mu Sijun with a plea in her voice, âListen to me first, okay?â
ââ¦â¦â
Musashi didnât say yes or no.
Xu Yuning couldnât care less, and continued to speak to himself, âMy hope of recovery is too slim, but our child is healthy. As long as the child has a chance to come into this world, he can grow up to adulthood successfully. Looking at it this way, isnât it better to choose the child?â
Musashi was completely unfazed.
In his world, there is simply no better option.
He only knows what he wants.
He looked at Xu Yuning and said word for word, âYuning, what I want is you.â
According to Xu Yuning, it is indeed wiser and more secure to choose children.
However, if the childâs arrival in this world is predicated on Xu Yuning giving his life, then what is the point of the childâs arrival?
Therefore, when Fang Heng told Mu Sijue that Xu Yuning and the child could only choose one of the two, he chose Xu Yuning with little hesitation.
All this time, Mousse had not changed his decision, nor did he intend to.
Xu Yuning shook her head, her eyes slightly reddening, âBut, Siju, I donât want to give up my child â¦â¦â
âListen to me-â Mu Sijunâs hand gently stroked over Xu Yuningâs face, his voice fading away from its usual cold hardness, only to be soothing, âWhen you recover, we will have a child.â
âBut I canât recover â¦â¦â Xu Yuning cruelly spoke the truth, âDidnât Fang Heng tell youâ
By giving up my baby, I would have to have an abortion, during which I would most likely die and just never wake up again.
âEven if this surgery is successful, when I had head surgery, the surgical success rate was pathetically low. I have a much better chance of dying on the operating table. Sir, I donât have the confidence that I can get through this again and again. But if we choose the child, he can definitely come into this world!â
Towards the end, Xu Yuning had gotten a little agitated, but Mu Sijiu had remained silent.
Xu Yuning tried to convince Mu Sijun, pulling over his hand, âDid you hear me clearly keeping the child is the wisest choice.â
Even if the childâs arrival cost her her life, she at least brought the child into this world, she has no regrets ah.
Doesnât that make more sense than her giving up the baby so heartlessly only to end up dying on the operating table anyway?
Mu Sijiu understood what Xu Yuning meant.
But even so, he still chose Xu Yuning.
He would rather take a risk and bet that Xu Yuning could escape the clutches of death than watch Xu Yuning leave him once again.
Mu Sijun took Xu Yuning into his arms and assured her, âI will find the best doctor to help you, you can definitely get better like Yue Chuan. Even if itâs for me, you believe in yourself for once, huh?â
âI wish I could get better too.â Xu Yuningâs voice already had a sob in it, âBut I donât want to give up my child.â
âYuning, donât be afraid.â Mu Sijun hugged Xu Yuning tightly, âListen to me, no matter what happens, I will accompany you. You want a child, when you recover, we can have many. But not now, you canât trade your life for a child, I wonât agree!â
Xu Yuning bit her lips to death, and finally couldnât help but cry out, shaking her head and saying, âI donât want â¦â¦ Sir, I donât want to give up our child.â
âBut I canât give up on you either.â Mu Sijun kissed Xu Yuningâs lips, âDonât be afraid, Iâll be with you when youâre being treated.â
Xu Yuningâs tears slid down uncontrollably, and were finally dried up as it were by Mu Sijiuâs compassionate kiss.
Mu Sijiu cupped Xu Yuningâs face, every action was gentle and incomparable, afraid of touching Xu Yuning like.
Although Xu Yuning was sad, her heart was stabilized, and she snuggled into Mu Sijueâs arms, indulging herself in relying on him.
I donât know how long it took before the two separated, and by that time, the yacht had sailed to the outskirts of town.
It was dark and quiet all around, and in the distance there appeared to be a villa district, brightly lit and gilded from afar, but not affecting the starlight in the sky.
Xu Yuning leaned against Mu Sijun, looked up at the starry sky and said, âThis is the most beautiful starry sky Iâve ever seen.â Probably because â¦â¦ Mu Sijiu was by her side.
âThis is nothing.â Mu Sijun inclined his head and looked at Xu Yuning, âWhen youâre better, Iâll take you to a place where thereâs no light damage, not only can you see the stars, but also the Milky Way.â
Xu Yuning looked at Mu Sijue curiously, âWhere? Why havenât you mentioned it to me before?â
âYou havenât said before that you like to look at the stars either.â Mu Sijiu pretended to be mysterious, âI wonât tell you first, when youâre better, Iâll take you there.â
âYes!â
Xu Yuning quietly looked forward to that day in his heart.
Though, she wasnât sure if she could wait until that day.
A gust of wind blew over, and the light from the scented candles jumped on Xu Yuningâs face, casting a hazy soft light on her thin face, making her look even more beautiful.
Not long after, Mu Sijunâs cell phone rang, only to hear a very simple sentence, âSeventh Brother, itâs here.â
Mu Siju pulled Xu Yuning up, âGo home.â
âHome from here?â Xu Yuning froze for a moment, âDonât we have to go back to the pier first?â
When we got off the yacht, there was already a car waiting alongside.
Mu Sijun brought Xu Yuning to the car, and in less than ten minutes, the two of them were back in front of the house.
Xu Yuning then reacted as they boarded the car from the dock in the city center and sailed all the way back to the dock near the villa.
The villa area she had just seen on the yacht should be her own villa area.
Auntie Zhou saw the two return and went to bed with peace of mind.
Mu Sijiu also did not intend to care about work anymore, took Xu Yuning back to his room, and after washing up, the two of them lay down on the bed in unison.
Apparently, neither one had much sleep.
Xu Yuning had something on her mind, flopping around on the bed and finally tumbling into Mu Sijiuâs arms, opening her mouth somewhat hesitantly, âMu Sijiu â¦â¦â
Mu Sijiu patted Xu Yuningâs head, âIf thereâs anything, letâs talk about it tomorrow, sleep.â
ââ¦â¦â Xu Yuning sighed, âOkay.â
âListening to your tone, it seems like youâre disappointed?â Mu Sijun raised an eyebrow, âShouldnât I do something about it?â
ââ¦â¦â Xu Yuning decisively closed his eyes and pretended to have fallen asleep.
Although there was not yet a conclusion about the child, and there was no hope in sight for her condition, she was not worried.
She knew that no matter what happened, Mu Sijun would be there to face it with her. That was enough for her.
The next day, after breakfast, Mu Sijun and Xu Yuning set off to the hospital.
Fang Heng had been obtaining Xu Yuningâs condition from the Kang family, and then went back to the hospital to study the medical plan with Henry and Song Jiqing, and there was no doubt that Xu Yuningâs condition was not optimistic at all compared to Shen Yuechuanâs condition in the first place.
Whatâs even trickier is that Xu Yuning has a healthy growing baby in her stomach.
Henry felt that he had the obligation to remind Xu Yuning, so he spoke, âMs. Xu, we are well aware of your condition, and have been making treatment plans for your situation. What you need to be reminded of now is that according to Mr. Mu, our plans are all geared towards protecting you, and you may â¦â¦ have to give up the child.â
Xu Yuningâs hand clenched slightly, shaking her head, her gaze firm, her tone even more unexpectedly resolute: âDoctor, I do not intend to give up my child.â
âThis â¦â¦,â Henry looked at Mousieu with difficulty, âMr. Mu, I thought you had discussed it.â
ââ¦â¦â Musashi didnât say anything, but his face didnât look good.
Song Jiqing took a look at the situation and realized what was coming, gesturing to the others, âLetâs go out first and let them discuss it.â
Very quickly, only Mu Sijun and Xu Yuning remained in the large office.
Mu Sijiu didnât get angry either, helplessly looking at Xu Yuning, âI thought we had already discussed it yesterday.â
Xu Yuning had a âyouâre overthinking itâ look on his face, âNo, Iâm not!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
ââ¦â¦,â Mushi Jennings rarely felt frustrated and rubbed his temples, âYuning, I canât trade you for a child.â
They could have many children in the future, but Xu Yuning only had one.
Xu Yuning tried to convince Mu Sijue, âBut if you stubbornly choose me, the biggest possibility is that you will lose the child first, then lose me, and end up with nothing! You choose the child, at least the child can survive. Mu Sijiu, arenât you usually a great negotiator, why canât you see the benefit in this situation?â
Mu Siju looked at Xu Yuning fixedly, âWithout you, it would be meaningless for our child to come to this world. Yuning, I wonât change my mind.â
Xu Yuning also became stubborn: âThen I wonât accept the treatment either!â
ââ¦â¦â Mu Sijiu frowned and said with the last vestige of patience, âYuning, listen to me â¦â¦â
Xu Yuning childishly covered her ears, âDonât listen!â
In this situation, there was no way for Mu Siju to talk to Xu Yuning.
In the end, Mu Sijiu first arranged Xu Yuning into the ward, intending to find another opportunity to slowly talk to Xu Yuning.
However, throughout the morning, Xu Yuning was ignoring him, and Fang Heng and Song Jiqing took turns to persuade Xu Yuning to no avail.
Song Jiqing couldnât take it anymore and said frantically, âWhy donât you guys guess and listen to whoever wins!â
Ye Lu passed by, just in time to hear Song Jiqingâs words, and slapped Song Jiqing on the head, âDo you have a better way?â
âNo!â Song Jicheng also got on fire and growled, âWhat, you did?â
âNo still dare to yell at me!â Ye Lu jumped up, âSong Jiqing, are you looking for death!â
As a result, not only Mu Sijue and Xu Yuning, Ye Lu and Song Jiqing also fell into a cold war.
Mu Sijun accompanied Xu Yuning after the noon meal and told Xu Yuning that he had to go out and might not be back until the evening.
Xu Yuning let out a âhmmâ, âYou go ahead.â It was as if she didnât care about Mu Sijiuâs tone.
Mu Sijiu forced down the levity in his heart and emphasized, âYuning, I wonât change my mind.â
Xu Yuning pursed her lips, âIâll think about it then, maybe Iâll change my mind.â
