Chapter 1046 - Mumu Is a Smart Boy

In Xu Youning’s room of the old house of Kang family.

The sudden attack, like the enemy’s ultimate skill in the game, directly overcame Xu Youning and weakened her vitality, which rendered her pale and powerless.

The only fortunate thing for Xu Youning was that she seemed to be a person of self-healing capability. Every time she had an attack, the more savage the attack came, the faster the effects would wear off.

Just like this time, when she woke up, she was back to her normal state; it was as if she had never experienced a serious illness at all.

Strangely, Mumu was not in the room.

Mumu usually slept longer than Xu Youning. Although he got up on time every day, he would only get up after Xu Youning, and rarely woke up earlier than her.

“What’s wrong with the little boy today?”

When Xu Youning was wondering about this, the door was suddenly pushed open. Mumu ran in and shouted excitedly, “Auntie Youning!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy rushed onto the bed and looked at Xu Youning with sparkling eyes.

Xu Youning was even more confused and could not help asking, “Mumu, what’s the matter?”

Mumu was usually sensible, but in fact, he was just a five-year-old child. He would usually be reluctant or unhappy to have to get up in the morning.

It was the first time that Xu Youning had seen the little boy so excited when he woke up.

Mumu smiled and said while dancing around, “Auntie Youning, I have good news for you. Uncle Ah Jin will be back in the afternoon!”

“…” The news came so suddenly that Xu Youning was too stunned to react.

Mumu did not care about Xu Youning’s reaction. He hugged her and said excitedly, “Auntie Youning, Uncle Ah Jin is fine!”

If even a five-year-old kid understood, Xu Youning would certainly understand what it meant.

The fact that Ah Jin could return to China or even to the Kang family, meant that he was really fine.

When Ah Jin was sent to country C, Xu Youning once wondered whether Kang Ruicheng was suspicious of him. Would Ah Jin never return to China?

Now it seemed that even if Kang Ruicheng suspected Ah Jin, he had not found any evidence that Ah Jin was working undercover.

Ah Jin was still safe.

It was indeed good news for Xu Youning.

Xu Youning hugged Mumu and could not help kissing the little boy hard.

She was already back to her normal state and when she heard the news, she felt that her condition improved a little.

After washing up, Xu Youning took Mumu’s hand and went downstairs.

Kang Ruicheng was already downstairs, giving orders to Dongzi and the others. Xu Youning walked over without asking any questions, nor did she take the initiative to mention that Ah Jin was coming back.

Although Kang Ruicheng asked Ah Jin to come back after suddenly sending the latter to country C, his purpose might not be simple.

That was to say, Kang Ruicheng was still likely to be suspicious about Ah Jin and her.

Therefore, she could not show her concern for Ah Jin.

If Kang Ruicheng associated Ah Jin with her and she showed any signs of concern for Ah Jin, it would be plainly stating that she and Ah Jin were on the same side. Then, it would only confirm Kang Ruicheng’s suspicions.

Kang Ruicheng did not mention Ah Jin to Xu Youning. After breakfast, he went out early.

Mumu did not like Kang Ruicheng to stay at home, so he said obediently, “Goodbye, Daddy. See you tonight!”

Yes, the little boy meant that he did not want to see Kang Ruicheng during the day!

Hearing Mumu’s voice, Kang Ruicheng suddenly turned around and stared at the little boy. “You’re not allowed to play games with Auntie Youning today! Do you hear me?”

Xu Youning was indeed back to her normal self, but even if she looked fine on the surface, she was indeed sick.

She needed enough rest to prolong her life, and playing games would consume a lot of energy.

Mumu obediently nodded and looked at Kang Ruicheng sincerely. “Daddy, don’t worry. I won’t ask Auntie Youning to play games with me!”

Kang Ruicheng looked relieved and turned to leave.

Mumu’s mood instantly improved. He ran back to the living room, humming and shouting at Xu Youning, “Auntie Youning, Daddy is gone!”

Xu Youning had already taken out the game equipment and crooked her finger at Mumu. “Come on, we can play games now.”

Mumu tilted his head and said innocently, “But, I promised Daddy that I wouldn’t ask you to play games with me again.”

Xu Youning had watched Mumu grow up. After so many years, she had some tacit understanding with him.

Looking at the little boy, she smiled and said cooperatively, “It’s not you who wants to play games with me. I am the one who wants to play games with you. Even if your daddy asks, it’s not your fault! Well, come here!”

Mumu blinked and then stated this point seriously, “Auntie Youning, you asked me to do that!”

Xu Youning nodded and said, “Uh-huh, I asked you to do that. It’s all my fault.”

“OK, that’s a deal!”

Mumu was instantly overjoyed and smiled happily. He ran over, sat down, turned on the computer, and began to play games with Xu Youning.

This time, they would play an online game.

Xu Youning was a master at online games. Although Mumu was young, his skills were not bad. The two of them teamed up and cooperated to showcase their various skills. The computer screen was dazzling brightly.

If it were in the past, while he was in high spirits, Mumu would definitely play games with Xu Youning until it was dark.

But after witnessing Xu Youning’s attack with his own eyes, Mumu was still a little scared. Less than three hours later, he stopped and said seriously, “Auntie Youning, let’s go eat something, and then you can have a rest!”

Xu Youning was indeed tired. She touched the little boy’s head and took him to lunch.

After their meal, Xu Youning took Mumu for a walk in the yard. After a while, she felt weak and began to yawn lazily.

Mumu looked up at Xu Youning, with concern in his tender voice. “Auntie Youning, are you very sleepy?”

The little boy’s tone was a little strange, and Xu Youning did not know how to reply to him for the moment.

On the surface, she was just sleepy.

However, she had never yawned or felt tired at noon before.

She was born with more energy than ordinary people. Sometimes, she was not even tired after staying up for two days and one night.

But ever since she had fallen ill, her energy had been declining day by day. The so-called “tiredness” was actually because her illness was getting worse.

Seeing that Xu Youning did not respond for some time, Mumu pulled her hand and asked, “Auntie Youning, what’s wrong with you?”

Xu Youning came to her senses and smiled at the little boy as if nothing had happened. She told him that she was fine, then held his hand and went back to the room.

Not long after Xu Youning lay on the bed, she dropped into a deep sleep.

She felt as if she had fallen into an endless dream. She was trapped in it and felt weak and was unwilling to wake up.

She could vaguely feel a strong sense of crisis, but she just could not get rid of that feeling of weakness.

In the end, Xu Youning was awakened by Mumu. The little boy shook her body and called her name. “Auntie Youning!”

Mumu was much more sensible than children his age. He never disturbed others when they were sleeping, especially when Xu Youning was feeling uncomfortable now.

Xu Youning sat up and looked at Mumu. “What’s wrong?”

If there was nothing wrong, Xu Youning believed that the little boy would not wake her up on purpose.

Mumu’s eyes lit up. He jumped up and down and said, “Uncle Ah Jin is back! And Daddy hasn’t come back yet!”

When Xu Youning sneaked into Kang Ruicheng’s study last time, she was unfortunately caught by Kang Ruicheng. Later, Ah Jin called Mumu over to help her out.

It was also on the same day that Xu Youning guessed Ah Jin’s identity. He worked undercover for Mu Sijue.

However, before she could ask Ah Jin any questions, he had been sent to country C. Since then, she had not been able to get in touch with him.

Now, Ah Jin was back, but Kang Ruicheng was not back yet. For Xu Youning, this was the best opportunity to confirm Ah Jin’s identity.

Xu Youning hugged Mumu and kissed the little boy’s forehead. “Thank you.”

She took her coat, put on her slippers, and ran downstairs.

Mumu looked at Xu Youning’s back, made a “hmm” sound and hurried to catch up with her.

When they got downstairs, Xu Youning began to slow down and looked as if she had woken up. She saw Ah Jin, but her expression remained bland.

In fact, only Xu Youning knew how excited she was.

At the top of the mountain, because she knew that the child was still alive, she promised to marry Mu Sijue. But after Kang Ruicheng kidnapped Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan, she had no choice but to come back and completely lost contact with Mu Sijue.

Apart from Fang Heng, Ah Jin was the only one who could help her get in touch with Mu Sijue.

More importantly, after getting a positive answer from Ah Jin, she could be more certain that Mu Sijue really knew everything and was nearby trying to get her out of this place.

When Ah Jin saw Xu Youning, he just smiled and greeted her politely but not warmly. “Miss Xu.”

Xu Youning nodded, thinking about how to get to talk with Ah Jin alone.

There were servants and many of Kang Ruicheng’s men in the Kang family home. If she directly asked Ah Jin to leave with her, it would definitely attract others’ attention.

She had to think of another way.

At this moment, Mumu came downstairs.

The little boy seemed to sense Xu Youning’s dilemma. He took Xu Youning’s hand and said, “Auntie Youning, let’s go and water the plants in the garden. Well, Uncle Ah Jin, can you do us a favor?”

Ah Jin nodded and looked as if he were carrying out orders. “Of course.”

The three of them walked to the vegetable garden in the yard. Mumu hopped along and both Xu Youning and Ah Jin looked calm; there was nothing unusual about their behavior.

In fact, Xu Youning was exceedingly excited, while Ah Jin had more admiration for Mumu.

Ah Jin had always known that Mumu was very smart, but only today did he realize that this little boy knew how to size up the situation and then make the right decision.

If it were not for his surname Kang, this child… should be perfect.
