Chapter 1004 I Don’t Want You to Stay Here Anymore

Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi were both smart enough.

No matter what danger they encountered, they could protect themselves with their own abilities.

But Xiao Yunyun was different. She was too naive.

Even if she fell into Kang Ruicheng’s hands, Xiao Yunyun might still believe that one day Kang Ruicheng’s conscience would smite him and he would stop doing evil.

However, the truth was that there would never be such a day.

Kang Ruicheng would definitely make use of Xiao Yunyun’s value and use her to threaten Lu Boyan. After Xiao Yunyun learned the truth, she would most likely collapse.

Xu Youning did not want Xiao Yunyun to undergo that kind of experience.

Thinking about that, Xu Youning felt a chill run up her spine and she looked cold and gloomy.

Mumu came over and pulled the hem of Xu Youning’s clothes. “Auntie Youning, don’t quarrel with Daddy, OK?”

Xu Youning lowered her head and met Mumu’s expectant and careful eyes.

Her heart softened. Only then did she remember that Mumu was most afraid of seeing adults quarrel.

Xu Youning suddenly regretted it. No matter how agitated she was just now, she should not have shouted in front of Mumu. The little boy could not bear such a big shock.

She squatted down, gently caressed Mumu’s head, and explained, “I am not quarrelling with your daddy. We just didn’t agree on something. You…”

Kang Ruicheng had never been patient when it came to coaxing children. Before Xu Youning finished speaking, he had called one of his men and ordered, “Take Mumu away.”

Mumu pursed his lips, looking aggrieved but he held back his tears. It was obvious that he was unwilling to leave.

Xu Youning had to comfort the little boy. “I have something to talk to your daddy. I’ll go to you in ten minutes, okay?”

Mumu looked like he was about to cry. He replied with a “hmm” and followed the man out as he looked back repeatedly.

Xu Youning stood up and looked at Kang Ruicheng in confusion. “Why can’t you be gentle to Mumu? He’s still a child. Do you have to scare him like this?”

“He is not a child, but a boy. He doesn’t need to be treated gently!” Kang Ruicheng snorted coldly. “When I was at his age, I was already in training!”

“You can’t send Mumu to receive training!” Xu Youning stopped him without hesitation. “Just take it as a plea from me. Let Mumu live a normal life. Don’t let him live like us!”

Kang Ruicheng roared forcefully, “His surname is Kang, and he is the descendant of the Kang family! From the moment he was born as a member of the Kang family, his life was not in his own hands!”

“Ridiculous! A surname doesn’t mean anything at all!” Xu Youning really found it ridiculous. She sneered and refuted, “Mumu is a human being, an independent person. He has the right to choose his own life. What right do you have to ask Mumu to live the same life as yours because of his surname?”

Strictly speaking, Xu Youning was also one of Kang Ruicheng’s subordinates.

No subordinate had ever dared to refute Kang Ruicheng, and Xu Youning was unprecedentedly the first one.

If it were in the past, Kang Ruicheng would not have allowed such a situation to happen at all. Even if it did happen, he would find a way to intimidate her and establish his authority.

However, Xu Youning was different. She was more important than any of his subordinates.

The most important thing was that the doctor had specially warned him not to let Xu Youning get too emotional.

Kang Ruicheng held Xu Youning’s shoulders and motioned for her to calm down. “A Ning, I can promise you that I won’t send Mumu to receive training for the time being.”

Xu Youning knew the hidden meaning in Kang Ruicheng’s words, so she did not calm down. She pushed him away and asked, “What about in the future?”

Obviously, Kang Ruicheng did not dare to promise Xu Youning what would happen in the future.

Kang Ruicheng just replied, “A Ning, it’s too early for us to talk about this now.”

Xu Youning suddenly changed the subject. “It’s not too early to talk about Yunyun now, is it?”

Kang Ruicheng was speechless.

Xu Youning’s words made sense.

After all, they were just talking about Xiao Yunyun.

After a long while, Kang Ruicheng tried to beat around the bush. “A Ning, you can’t help Xiao Yunyun now, whether you know about what will happen to her or not. So, it’s meaningless even if you know it.”

When Xu Youning received training, Kang Ruicheng had told her more than once not to do anything meaningless, and there was even no need to know about it.

In other words, he would not tell her anything about Xiao Yunyun.

Xu Youning thought for a moment and gave up asking further. She said, “In that case, forget it.”

If Kang Ruicheng did not want to tell her the truth, she could investigate it by herself.

Shen Yuechuan was currently receiving treatment in the hospital. It was still unknown whether he could recover or not.

In any case, nothing bad could happen to Xiao Yunyun now.

Seeing Xu Youning calming down, Kang Ruicheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Stay at home with Mumu. I’ll go out for a while and come back with the doctor at noon.”

Xu Youning did not see Kang Ruicheng off. Instead, she went upstairs to find Mumu, only to see the little boy sitting at the head of the stairs and the subordinate looking at him with an embarrassed look.

When the subordinate saw Xu Youning, he heaved a long sigh of relief and said, “Miss Xu, you’re finally here! Mumu refused to go back to the room. He insisted on sitting here.”

“It’s all right. Go ahead with your work,” Xu Youning said, “I’ll accompany Mumu.”

“OK!”

The subordinate left the old house in a flash.

Xu Youning went upstairs and sat side by side with Mumu. She turned her head and looked at him. “Why are you sitting here? Is the scenery better from here?”

Mumu pointed to the door and said, “I can see the door from here.”

Xu Youning suddenly understood that the little boy was afraid that she would leave in a fit of anger, so he sat at the head of the stairs and stared at the door, in case she decided to leave.

She wanted to leave, but it was easier said than done.

Xu Youning touched the little boy’s soft black hair and said, “I won’t leave. Don’t be afraid.”

Mumu looked down at the stairs and whispered, “But… I don’t want you to stay here anymore.”

Xu Youning suspected that she had heard it wrong. After all, Mumu had always wanted her to stay.

After a long while, Xu Youning asked uncertainly, “Mumu, what did you say just now?”

Mumu looked up at her and said, “Auntie Youning, leave quickly.”

“Why do you suddenly want me to leave?” Xu Youning looked at Mumu and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“If you stay here, Daddy won’t care about you. I’m afraid that you and your baby will be in danger.” There was actually a pleading look in Mumu’s innocent eyes. “Auntie Youning, go back and find Uncle Mu.”

In such a big house, the five-year-old boy was the only one who really cared about Xu Youning.

Xu Youning felt warm and hugged the little boy. “Mumu, it’s good and safe for me to stay here. I won’t leave for the time being. I still want to stay with you.”

“But what about Sister Yunyun?” Mumu frowned. “Dad just said that Sister Yunyun will be in danger.”

Xu Youning smiled and told the little boy, “Uncle Yuechuan is sick and can’t take care of Sister Yunyun, but Uncle Mu and Uncle Lu will protect her. Are you relieved now?”

“Uncle Lu and Uncle Mu…”

Mumu tilted his head and thought for a moment. He seemed to suddenly think it through, and finally his eyebrows relaxed. A clean and clear smile returned to his face.

He nodded and said forcefully, “Yes, I believe in Uncle Mu!”

Xu Youning was very curious to know why the little boy was so sure that Mu Sijue would not hurt her and could protect Xiao Yunyun when Mumu just spent less than a week together with him.

“Was this a kind of magical trust?”

Xu Youning did not ask further. She just pulled him up and said, “Let’s go play games.”

Mumu was a complete game addict. As soon as he heard that, he instantly perked up, took Xu Youning’s hand and ran downstairs to do battle with her in the gaming world.

At noon, when lunch was just ready, Kang Ruicheng came back from outside.

If Mumu remembered correctly, Kang Ruicheng had said before he went out that he would come back with the doctor.

He looked behind Kang Ruicheng and did not see the doctor. “Eh?” he asked curiously, “Daddy, where’s the doctor you invited for Auntie Youning?”

“I finished my work and came back early. I didn’t wait for the doctor.” Kang Ruicheng looked at the time and continued, “The doctor’s plane will land in ten minutes. Uncle Ah Jin will bring the doctor here. Let’s have lunch first. The doctor will arrive when we finish our lunch.”

“Oh yeah!” Mumu put down the computer and pulled Xu Youning up excitedly. “Let’s have lunch, and then you have to see the doctor. I will be with you!”

The little boy was happier than when he received his favorite toy. Xu Youning could not bear to let him down, so she followed him to the dining room.

When she picked up the chopsticks, Xu Youning had a bad feeling.

For some unknown reason, she had a feeling that the doctor from country S would not be able to walk out of the airport smoothly today.

Someone was silently pushing and changing this matter behind the scenes.

“A Ning,” Kang Ruicheng pushed a bowl of soup to Xu Youning and said, “Don’t think too much. Drink some soup.”

Xu Youning came to her senses and said, “OK, thank you.”

After lunch, Kang Ruicheng took out his mobile phone. He probably wanted to contact Ah Jin and ask about the doctor.

However, before he could make a call, his cell phone rang and Ah Jin’s name was displayed on the screen.

Kang Ruicheng frowned, answered the phone and asked directly, “What’s wrong?”

“Brother Cheng, something’s wrong!” Ah Jin’s anxious voice came, “When Dr. David got off the plane, he was taken away by the police and the Bureau of Epidemic Prevention!”

“Why did the police and the Bureau of Epidemic Prevention target David, who had just entered the country for the first time?”

Kang Ruicheng’s face darkened, and he roared, “Say it again!”

Ah Jin took a deep breath and plucked up his courage to say, “When Dr. David got off the plane, the personnel from the Bureau of Epidemic Prevention arrived and said that they suspected that Dr. David was carrying some kind of infectious virus and needed to take him away for questioning.”
