Chapter 891 - I'm a Talented Baby (1)

“I’m ordering you!”

In Mumu’s childish voice, there was really a hint of compulsion.

The subordinate braced himself and said awkwardly, “Mumu, your father ordered to uncuff them only when they are eating.”

Mumu turned around, looked at the two old ladies, and asked in a soft voice, “Granny Zhou, does it hurt?”

Aunt Zhou did not want the kid to worry, so she smiled and said, “Good boy, it doesn’t hurt.”

Mumu tilted his head and thought to himself, “Even if it doesn’t hurt, it is uncomfortable.”

He imagined that if he were handcuffed like this, he would definitely be very, very angry.

Mumu walked up to the subordinate and stretched out his hand. “Give me the key.”

The subordinate took out the key uncertainly. “Mumu, listen to me…” He wanted to tell Mumu about the advantages of cuffing the two old ladies and the disadvantages of uncuffing them.

Mumu was not interested in what the subordinate had to say at all. He took the key and turned around, holding Aunt Zhou’s and Tang Yulan’s hands and carefully removing their handcuffs.

Then, Mumu put the key in his pocket.

The subordinate widened his eyes and was stunned. “Mumu, you…”

Mumu raised his chin like a leader and announced, “From now on, you don’t have to call my daddy and ask if you can uncuff Granny Zhou and Granny Tang. I’m the boss!”

“…” The subordinate just wanted to say that he was in a dilemma and he wanted to cry.

Mumu glanced at the subordinate and suddenly frowned. He ordered politely, “Sir, can you leave? I don’t like you looking at me.”

“No!” The subordinate refused flatly, “your daddy said that I must watch over you!”

Kang Ruicheng’s exact words were that if he did not watch over Mumu, Mumu would definitely find a way to release Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan.

Mumu turned around angrily, pouting and looking unhappy.

Aunt Zhou stroked Mumu’s head and said, “Mumu, it doesn’t matter.”

Then, Mumu stopped puffing out his cheeks. “Okay.”

Tang Yulan suddenly interrupted, “Mumu, can I ask you a question?”

Mumu nodded obediently, and he was distracted, ready to answer Tang Yulan’s question seriously.

Tang Yulan smiled and asked, “How are Uncle Lu and Auntie Jian’an? Are they worried about me?”

Mumu thought for a moment, suddenly hugged Tang Yulan, and whispered in Tang Yulan’s ear, “Auntie Jian’an is very worried, but I promised her that I would protect you and Granny Zhou! So, Auntie Jian’an and Uncle Lu are not worried now. Granny Tang, you don’t have to worry!”

In order to comfort Tang Yulan, the little boy tried to answer the question with causal logic.

Tang Yulan understood the little boy’s intention and smiled. “Thank you.”

Mumu also raised the corner of his mouth. He looked pure and bright, like a guardian angel.

Half an hour later, Dongzi came in and said, “Mumu, come back for dinner with me.”

Mumu did not leave. Instead, he asked, “What will Granny Zhou and Granny Tang eat?”

Dongzi did not expect the little boy to even care about this, so he could only patiently reply, “Someone will bring their food here.”

Mumu replied with an “oh” and sat down, shaking his legs. “Then bring my food here too!”

Dongzi tut-tutted, and a hint of anger appeared on his face. “Mumu, if you go on like this, your daddy will be angry. Come back with me!”

Mumu pursed his lips and stood still, unwilling to leave.

Dongzi came over and was about to pull Mumu.

Mumu sensed the danger and nimbly crept into Aunt Zhou’s arms. He cried out in a second, “Granny Zhou, someone bullied me. Boohoo…”

Dongzi swore that he had absolutely not touched Mumu yet.

But Mumu was crying so badly that he could not help wondering if he had beaten the little boy with his mind…

“Boohoo…”

Mumu was still crying. Dongzi’s hand froze in the air. He did not know what to do at all.

Aunt Zhou could not bear to see the situation going out of control just like this. She touched Mumu’s head and said, “The man just asked you to go back for dinner. He was not bullying you. You go back for dinner with him first. After eating, you still can come to Granny Tang and me.”

“I don’t want to eat with Daddy.” Mumu said in a wronged tone, “I want to eat with you.”

Aunt Zhou was certainly willing to eat with Mumu, but Kang Ruicheng asked someone to send them ordinary boxed meals. It was the time of physical growth for the little boy, and ordinary boxed meals could not provide him with the necessary nutrition at all.

“Mumu, you have to be obedient,” Aunt Zhou coaxed the little boy, “follow the man to eat first.”

Mumu pursed his lips and did not understand why Aunt Zhou refused him.

At the top of the mountain, Granny Zhou clearly liked eating with him very much, and she would also cook a lot of delicious food for him.

Mumu used his brain and soon thought of something. He asked, “Granny Zhou, is the food they prepare for you not tasty?”

“No,” Aunt Zhou said, “go back quickly. Don’t starve yourself.”

Mumu was unexpectedly obedient and ran out of the room.

In the dining room of the Kang family’s old house, Kang Ruicheng was waiting for Mumu. Next to him stood the man who had just taken Mumu to see Aunt Zhou.

“How do you feel about the relationship between Mumu and the two old ladies?” Kang Ruicheng asked, “is he really familiar with them?”

“It seems so.” The subordinate told the truth. “As soon as Mumu arrived, he directly threw himself into Mrs. Zhou’s arms. He also looked very familiar with Tang Yulan. Brother Cheng, I found that… Mumu has a good relationship with the two old ladies.”

Kang Ruicheng replied, “Hum. I got it. Go and do your work.”

At this time, Mumu ran back from the back door. “Daddy!”

Kang Ruicheng said, “Go wash your hands and then come back for dinner.”

“Oh.” Mumu obediently cleaned his small hands, climbed up to the chair, sat upright, and asked politely, “Daddy, can I start eating now?”

Kang Ruicheng took his chopsticks and picked up a leave of greens for Mumu. “Eat.”

When Dongzi came back and saw such a scene, he always felt that Mumu was a little too obedient. In front of Kang Ruicheng, Mumu should not be so obedient.

Moreover, Mumu had been sticking so stubbornly to eating with the two old ladies just now.

His intuition told him that Mumu was up to something.

Sure enough…

Mumu took a bite of the vegetable and immediately spat it out. He also threw away his chopsticks and spoon, making a lot of noise.

Kang Ruicheng frowned and asked sternly, “What’s wrong?”

“It doesn’t taste good!” Mumu showed a look of displeasure on his face. He repeated, “It’s not tasty at all. I don’t want to eat it!”

Dongzi came over and reported to Kang Ruicheng what had just happened in a low voice.

Kang Ruicheng guessed that Mumu was deliberately making trouble, so he asked directly, “What do you want to eat?”

“I want to eat the dishes prepared for Granny Zhou and Granny Tang. I want to eat with them!” Mumu snorted and continued, “the dishes are not tasty at all. I don’t want to eat with you anymore!”

Kang Ruicheng wiped his hands and stared at Mumu. “What if I don’t agree?”

Kang Ruicheng rarely had a smile on his face, so whether he was speaking or not, he gave people a feeling of coercion.

Mumu was more or less afraid of Kang Ruicheng.

However, if he was afraid now, he would not be able to protect Granny Zhou and Granny Tang.

Mumu puffed out his cheeks and said angrily, “If you don’t agree, I won’t eat. Humph!”

Kang Ruicheng banged on the table and ordered angrily, “Pick up your chopsticks and eat. Don’t mention your Granny Zhou and Granny Tang again!”

In Mumu’s little world, he felt that he had the freedom to say anything he wanted. Why did not Daddy allow him to mention Granny Zhou and Granny Tang?

In a fit of anger, Mumu picked up his chopsticks and threw them directly into the trash can.

He was the first one who dared to challenge Kang Ruicheng so boldly.

Kang Ruicheng was infuriated. He walked over with a gloomy face. It seemed that he was going to teach Mumu a lesson.

At that moment, Mumu was really scared. He pursed his lips and burst into tears. “Mommy…”

Kang Ruicheng froze, and the gloom on his face gradually disappeared, turning into a look of mixed emotions.

Mumu curled up into a small ball, buried his face in his knees, and grumbled tearfully, “I hate you. I want Mommy. I want Mommy…”

When Mumu was very young, Kang Ruicheng was unwilling to take Mumu with him, and he rarely went to see him because of his biological mother.

Mumu looked a lot like his mother. When Kang Ruicheng saw Mumu, he would only fall into deep self-blame.

Even today, Kang Ruicheng would still think that everything would not be like this if he could take good care of his woman.

It was the right decision for him not to see Mumu. After a few years, he had gradually forgotten Mumu’s biological mother.

For so many years, it was only when Mumu was very, very young that he asked where his mother had gone. He told Mumu the truth that his mother had passed away.

After that, Mumu never asked about his mommy again. He did not even mention the word “mommy” in front of him.

This was the first time that he had cried for his mommy.

Old and sweet memories came to Kang Ruicheng’s mind. He called Dongzi over and only gave him an order of “watching over Mumu” before leaving the old house.

Mumu did not care about Kang Ruicheng and cried louder and louder.

Dongzi walked over and touched Mumu’s little shoulder in panic. “Mumu.”

“Ahem…” Mumu was out of breath from crying. He coughed a few times and continued to cry, ignoring Dongzi.

Dongzi had to say, “I’ll take you to Granny Zhou.”

Mumu slid off the chair and retraced the path he had taken previously to find Aunt Zhou, leaving Dongzi far behind.

At the same time, Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan were eating.

Kang Ruicheng still asked someone to bring them ordinary boxed meals. The green vegetables were overcooked and mushy, and the braised pork was greasy, making it impossible for people to have an appetite.

Aunt Zhou split apart a pair of disposable chopsticks and said to Tang Yulan, “Anyway, eat as much as you can.”

Tang Yulan nodded. As soon as she picked up her chopsticks, she vaguely heard someone crying. She frowned and said, “It seems to be Mumu.”

Aunt Zhou’s ears did not work quite well. She was confused and asked, “What?”

“Mumu seems to be crying.”

As soon as Tang Yulan finished speaking, Mumu cried and ran in.

Aunt Zhou hurriedly put down her chopsticks. “Mumu, what’s wrong? Didn’t you go for dinner? Why are you crying?”

“Granny Zhou…”

Mumu plunged into Aunt Zhou’s arms and hugged her tightly. The more he cried, the sadder he became. Occasionally, he coughed hard, unable to speak.
