Mu Sijue left the villa with Xu Youning and Mumu. A car was waiting at the door.
The driver opened the door of the back seat, and Mumu nimbly climbed up.
Mu Sijue got in the car from the other side, sat down, and glanced at Mumu. âAre you practicing Taekwondo?â
From the way Mumu got into the car, he learned that Mumu was practicing a kind of ancient martial Taekwondo which was of great aggressiveness. Without beautiful moves, it was aimed at knocking down the opponent.
Mumu nodded and answered obediently, âDad said that I could protect myself as well as the people I wanted to protect by practicing Taekwondo, so Iâm practicing it!â
Mu Sijue asked, âDid your dad tell you why you should learn to protect yourself?â
Mumuâs sparkling eyes suddenly darkened. âDad didnât tell me, but I know.â
Because his dad... had many enemies.
His dad hid him in the United States so that those enemies would not know of his existence and he would not be in danger.
After a long time, Mumu looked at Mu Sijue and asked worriedly, âMr. Mu, are you my fatherâs enemy?â
The little boyâs eyes were full of struggle and expectation, and it seemed that he was waiting for Mu Sijue to say no.
However, Mu Sijue was indeed at daggers drawn with Kang Ruicheng. This was a fact that couldnât be overturned.
Mu Sijue moved his hand and finally raised it to touch Mumuâs head. âI wonât hurt you.â The grudge between him and Kang Ruicheng had nothing to do with this little guy.
Mumu looked down, and his long eyelashes covered his great disappointment in his eyes.
After a long while, Mumu whispered, âMr. Mu, I will protect you. I will ask Daddy not to hurt you, Auntie Youning, Auntie Jianâan, the babies, and many others.â
Mumu didnât ask Mu Sijue who had done something wrong between Mr. Mu and his daddy.
When he was in the United States, his nanny would occasionally talk about his daddy with the bodyguards.
They thought he couldnât understand, but in fact, he could.
Xu Youningâs heart ached. She hugged Mumu and tried to divert his attention. âMumu, it will be your birthday in a few days. Do you remember?â
Mumu thought about it and nodded. âI do!â
As soon as he finished speaking, he broke free from Xu Youningâs arms and crept to Mu Sijueâs side. âMr. Mu, can I ask you a favor?â
Mu Sijue looked at the little boy and said, âOut with it.â
âCan you send me back after my birthday?â Mumuâs black and round eyes were filled with expectation as if it were his last wish.
Mu Sijue was quite surprised. âDo you know that Iâm going to send you back?â
Mumu said in English, âI can feel it.â
Mu Sijue knew that it was not good to be soft-hearted to this little guy, but he couldnât help agreeing. âOkay.â
Mumuâs eyes lit up. He got up and kissed Mu Sijue, saying, âIâm starting to like you a little bit. Come on!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Except for Xu Youning, no one dared to take the initiative to kiss Mu Sijue.
Mu Sijue didnât expect the little boy to be the second one.
What was even more unexpected was that he didnât hate to get close to this little boy.
It was as incredible as him falling in love with Xu Youning. It should be noted that this little boy was Kang Ruichengâs son.
When he was having this wonderful feeling, the car stopped.
Mumu saw several private helicopters outside and exclaimed, âWow! Have we arrived at the heliport?â
Xu Youning also had doubts. âArenât we driving to the hospital?â
âItâs too slow and not safe.â Mu Sijueâs explanation was simple and straightforward. âWeâll go there by helicopter.â
Mumu cheered and jumped out of the car. âMr. Mu, you are so cool. I like helicopters!â
Xu Youning had taken Mu Sijueâs private helicopter before, and everything inside was still the same as before.
There was a separate office area on the helicopter. As soon as Mu Sijue got on the helicopter, he entered the area. Xu Youning took Mumu to sit down randomly.
After a while, the helicopter took off.
Mumu unfastened his seat belt, looked around curiously, and occasionally went to disturb Mu Sijue.
Time flew. Soon, the private helicopter landed on the heliport of the hospitalâs roof.
Mumu jumped down, and the cold wind made him scream, âHelp, Auntie Youning!â
Xu Youning walked over and buttoned Mumuâs coat. She turned around and asked Mu Sijue, âWhere is Yuechuan living?â
Mu Sijue said, âHeâs living two floors below.â
They entered the elevator and went down two floors. The shiny door, made of stainless steel, slid open, and Mumu was the first to rush out.
There was only one door. Mumu even didnât have to ask which ward Shen Yuechuan lived in. He ran to poke the doorbell and tilted his head to the surveillance camera. âSister Yunyun!â
Xiao Yunyun thought she had seen wrongly. She ran out and opened the door. It was really Mumu, Boss Mu, and Xu Youning who were standing outside.
She picked up Mumu happily. âWhy are you here?â
âHehe!â Mumu rubbed Xiao Yunyunâs face with a smile. âIâm here to see you and Uncle Yuechuan!â
Xiao Yunyun gave Mumu a kiss and greeted Mu Sijue and Xu Youning. âCome in. We just finished breakfast.â
Mu Sijue walked in front of Xu Youning and pushed open the door of the ward. He saw Shen Yuechuan lying on the hospital bed, with a pale face showing his frailty.
âWhen I heard the little boyâs voice, I guessed it was you.â Shen Yuechuan sat up and smiled. âDonât worry, Iâm fine.â
Mu Sijue asked, âHave you thought it over? Are you going to have an operation?â
Shen Yuechuan nodded. âIâve long thought it over. How are you and Boyan? Is everything going well?â
âNot bad. Thereâs nothing too troublesome.â Mu Sijue said lightly, âKang Ruicheng is not capable enough.â
âIn any case, you have to be careful. Kang Ruicheng is not capable enough, but he is sinister enough.â Shen Yuechuan said, âYou donât have to worry about me. Yunyun and I can handle it.â
â...â Mu Sijue didnât speak.
At this time, Henry and Song Jiqing came in to measure Shen Yuechuanâs body temperature and some other data. They also asked him a few questions and required detailed answers.
âSister Yunyun.â Mumu asked in a low voice, âAre they Uncle Yuechuanâs doctors?â
âYes.â Xiao Yunyun nodded. âDo you know what the attending doctor means?â
Mumu nodded. âI know.â
Not long after, Henry and Song Jiqing left, and Mumu quietly followed them out of the ward.
Song Jiqing had been talking with Henry about Shen Yuechuanâs condition. He inadvertently found that there was some noise behind him. He turned around and found that it was the little guy in the ward.
He signaled for Henry to pause and turned to look at Mumu. âWhatâs wrong?â
Mumu took out a lollipop from the pocket of his coat and handed it to Song Jiqing. âHere you are.â
Song Jiqing took the lollipop and rotated it in his hand. âWhy did you give this to me?â
âPlease cure Uncle Yuechuan,â Mumu said. âI still have a lot of lollipops in my house. If you can cure Uncle Yuechuan, Iâll give you all my lollipops.â
Song Jiqing smiled and squatted down to look at the little boy. âWhy do you want to do this?â
âBecause Sister Yunyun likes Uncle Yuechuan very much.â Mumu tilted his head and added, âSister Yunyun is very sad because Uncle Yuechuan is ill. So I hope that Uncle Yuechuan will get better!â
âI will try my best.â Song Jiqing put the lollipop into his pocket. âGo back to the ward. Donât run around.â
Mumu thought that Song Jiqing had promised him, so he bowed to Song Jiqing very politely. âThank you, Doctor!â
He turned around and hopped back to the ward as if he had completed an important mission.
Xu Youning soon noticed that Mumu was in a particularly good mood after coming back from the outside. She couldnât help asking, âMumu, where did you go?â
Mumu whispered, âI asked the doctor to cure Uncle Yuechuan, and he promised me!â
Xu Youning quickly understood something and did not know how to respond for a while.
When Mumu went out, Shen Yuechuan told them that no doctor was sure to cure him.
Song Jiqing promised Mumu just because he didnât want to let a child down.
At this time, Shen Yuechuan handed two documents to Mu Sijue and said, âHelp me take them to Boyan. Youâre so busy. Just go ahead.â
Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning and said, âI am in no hurry. I have something else to do.â
Xu Youning suddenly had a bad feeling. âSomething else?â
Mu Sijue said, âIâll take you to have a checkup.â
All of a sudden, Xu Youning remembered that Su Jianâan had reminded them to do a checkup, as well as the subsequent regular checkups according to the doctorâs arrangement.
That day, Mu Sijue had something to do, so she had escaped.
Mu Sijue had never mentioned it after going back, so she thought he had forgotten it.
It would have been good if he had forgotten it. Why did he suddenly say that he would take her to have a checkup?
Xu Youning felt as if she had been thrown onto the top of a snowy mountain. She felt chilly from head to toe instantly.
However, she couldnât panic. As long as the checkup was not done, she could continue to hide the truth.
âArenât you very busy these days?â Xu Youning said, âYou can go to work first. As for the checkup, it doesnât matter if itâs delayed for a few days.â
She didnât want Mu Sijue to know the cruel truth. She didnât want him to suffer from the same things as she did.
Mu Sijue said, âIâm not busy now.â
Xu Youning was choked and used her last move. âHave you made an appointment? Generally, you need to make an appointment for this kind of checkup.â
âI donât need it.â Mu Sijue clutched Xu Youningâs hand and said, âLetâs go.â
Xu Youning was unwilling to move, and froze on the spot.
Mu Sijue noticed that something was wrong with her. He gazed at Xu Youning sharply and asked, âAre you afraid?â
Xu Youning denied it immediately. âWhy should I be afraid?â
Yes, she was afraid. It was the first time in her life that she was so scared.
âSince you are not, come with me.â
Mu Sijue dragged Xu Youning out with determination. Xu Youning struggled several times but failed.
In the ward, Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan and said in wonder, âWhy do I feel weird?â
âYep.â Shen Yuechuan said, âXu Youning is a little weird.â
âSister Yunyun.â Mumu tugged at Xiao Yunyunâs sleeve. âIt will be my birthday in a few days. Can you celebrate it with me?â
âSure.â Xiao Yunyun asked, âWhat present do you want?â
âI want you...â Before Mumu could finish his words, his ear had been pinched by Shen Yuechuan. He screamed, âOuch, it hurts...â
Xiao Yunyun patted Shen Yuechuanâs hand and said, âWhat are you doing? Let go of Mumu.â
âKid, how dare you want my fiancee?â Shen Yuechuan dragged Mumu onto the hospital bed and said, âCome up. Iâll spank you!â
Mumu explained with a crying face, âI just want Sister Yunyun to celebrate my birthday with me...â
Only then did Shen Yuechuan realize that Mumu had not finished his words.
He let go of Mumu embarrassedly. âThatâs okay. You can go down now.â
Mumu angrily put his hands on his hips. âYou are also a bad man, humph!â
âHuh?â Shen Yuechuan raised his eyebrows and reached out to tickle Mumu.
âAh! Haha...â Mumu let out a cry and then fell on the bed while giggling, trying to fight back against Shen Yuechuan.
