Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 1124 Be with Me Forever

CRACK!

The broken cutlery fell to the floor.

The embarrassment in the air had disappeared at some point. The hatred in Xu Youning’s heart filled the air, injecting some fierce killing intent into the ancient and serene old house.

Only Xu Youning knew that she could vent such anger because her enemy was in front of her.

If she were capable enough, she would be glad to put an end to Kang Ruicheng’s life now and avenge her grandmother.

If it were in the past, Xu Youning might really risk her life to try and assassinate Kang Ruicheng.

At worst, they would both die. She didn’t mind it.

But now, she was not alone. She was pregnant with Mu Sijue’s baby, so she couldn’t be so impulsive.

“If Grandma could sense her thoughts, she would not want me to take risks. She would only hope that I could protect myself and the baby.”

She and Mu Sijue’s only child merely had one chance to come into this world.

Kang Ruicheng was different. He was an adult with a long life ahead of him.

Even if Kang Ruicheng was still alive on the day she died, Mu Sijue would not let him go.

Evildoers would eventually receive their retribution.

Therefore, the most important thing for Xu Youning to do now was to protect her secrets and let her baby come into this world safely.

Looking at Xu Youning’s angry and depressed look, Kang Ruicheng naively thought that her mood had changed so much all of a sudden because she hated Mu Sijue too much.

Kang Ruicheng was suddenly very glad. “Fortunately, Youning doesn’t know who got Granny Xu killed.”

He wanted to have Xu Youning, but he didn’t want her to hate him so much.

However, he didn’t mind that she hated Mu Sijue at all.

Kang Ruicheng knew Xu Youning too well.

She was good at turning everything into action.

He thought that the more she hated Mu Sijue, the more likely she would succeed in killing him in the future.

“A Ning,” Kang Ruicheng said slowly as if he had thought it over, “since you are unwilling to take the operation because of your grandma, why don’t… we make a deal?”

Xu Youning was not curious about what deal Kang Ruicheng wanted to make with her at all.

On the contrary, she looked alert.

“What deal?”

Xu Youning’s voice was unusually cold as if she wanted to tell Kang Ruicheng in this way that she might not agree to make a deal with him.

“A Ning, it’s a fair deal.” Kang Ruicheng looked into Xu Youning’s eyes and said word by word, “I’ll avenge your grandma. After Mu Sijue is dead, you have to undergo surgery.”

Xu Youning didn’t say anything.

She sneered inside again.

“Until now, Kang Ruicheng is still so naive that he thinks that he can deal with Mu Sijue?

“It’s utterly impossible!

“Even if he does have a chance to make it happen, I’ll definitely stop him and ruin his plan!

“Therefore, it won’t matter even if I agree to make this deal with him.”

Xu Youning looked at Kang Ruicheng as if she were weighing something.

After a while, she nodded. “Okay.”

Kang Ruicheng finally got rid of the burden on his mind and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he asked, “A Ning, everything’s okay between us, right?”

He didn’t want her to continue ignoring him.

Xu Youning sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she only said coldly, “Everything will stay fine between us as long as you don’t make any unreasonable requests.”

“I have no trouble with Kang Ruicheng.

“There is only deep hatred between us since he got my closest family killed.”

Kang Ruicheng didn’t know what Xu Youning was thinking at all. He only thought that her words meant that she agreed to make peace.

He looked much more relaxed, and his tone became gentler as he said, “A Ning, no matter what happens in the future, I will discuss it with you in advance. I won’t decide on your behalf beforehand.”

Kang Ruicheng rarely made promises, and Xu Youning was an exception.

However, she was not moved by his promise at all. She stood up, still looking cold and indifferent. She said with a sense of warning in her tone, “You’d better keep your promise!”

Before Kang Ruicheng could say anything, she turned around and went straight upstairs.

When she was a few meters away from the door of the room, Mumu’s crying voice was heard.

“Although I am only five years old, I also have the right of personal liberty. Even if you’re an adult, you can’t control me! Boo-hoo, let me go!”

The little boy was obviously angry, and his childish voice was full of anger.

The subordinate didn’t want to offend Mumu, but he didn’t dare to disobey Kang Ruicheng’s order. He said awkwardly, “Mumu, stop this. When Brother Cheng calms down, you can go downstairs.”

“That’s weird. Why is it that I can’t move freely until Daddy calms down?” Mumu wailed. “I didn’t get him angry!”

The subordinate wanted to change the topic and deliberately asked, “Who got Brother Cheng angry then?”

“No one provoked him!” Mumu returned to his usual innocence and said as if it had nothing to do with him, “He got mad on his own. Why did he punish me? It’s unreasonable!”

The young subordinate didn’t speak for a long time, probably not knowing how to continue.

Hearing their conversation, Xu Youning smiled, pushed the door open, and walked in.

The subordinate was very relieved to see Xu Youning. He hurried over and respectfully said, “Ms. Xu.”

“Yeah.” Xu Youning’s tone was not commanding, but there was an undeniable aura in her voice. “You can go down now.”

“But…” The subordinate looked at Mumu hesitantly. “Brother Cheng has ordered…”

“I told you to go down!” Xu Youning’s tone became sharper. “I will keep an eye on Mumu.”

Xu Youning’s position in the Kang family was second only to Kang Ruicheng. Even Dongzi had to show her respect.

The subordinate didn’t dare to provoke Xu Youning. He answered, “Alright!” Then, he turned and left the room.

Click!

The door was closed, leaving only Xu Youning and Mumu in the room.

The little boy instantly stopped making trouble and threw himself at Xu Youning like a cute pet. He looked up and asked, “Auntie Youning, did Daddy bully you?”

Xu Youning said confidently, “Don’t worry. Your daddy wouldn’t dare to bully me now!”

Mumu thought about it and nodded seriously. “Yes! Because I got your back!”

“Haha-” Xu Youning couldn’t help laughing. She squatted down and kissed the little boy’s cheek. “Thank you.”

“Well, you’re welcome!”

Mumu also hugged Xu Youning and rubbed against her chest, looking soft and lovely.

Xu Youning touched the little boy’s head and felt a sense of warmth in her heart.

However, before long, guilt replaced all warmth.

She was not worthy of Mumu being so nice to her.

Her purpose in coming back was to end Kang Ruicheng’s life.

However, she was greedy for the little boy’s care and did not dare to tell Mumu the truth.

After all, she was selfish.

Mumu stayed in Xu Youning’s arms for a while and suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and said, “Auntie Youning, I want to visit Sister Yunyun and Uncle Yuechuan.”

Xu Youning also wanted to visit Yuechuan and Yunyun.

However, she had no way to leave the old house.

Although Kang Ruicheng believed in her, she still couldn’t easily get in touch with Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue’s people.

If she insisted on going over, it would definitely arouse Kang Ruicheng’s suspicion.

The last thing she could do now was to make Kang Ruicheng suspect her.

Xu Youning shook her head and whispered, “Your daddy won’t allow us to go there.”

Mumu tilted his head and asked mischievously, “What if I cry?”

Xu Youning didn’t know how to react and decided to correct the little boy’s idea. “Mumu, crying can’t fix every problem.”

“It won’t work for an adult to cry, but it will if little kids cry!” Mumu emphasized seriously, “Auntie Youning, since my tears can still work now, shouldn’t I make good use of them? When I grow up, it won’t help if I cry. If I don’t use my tears now… will I be at a slight disadvantage?”

Xu Youning didn’t know how to respond and looked at the little boy helplessly. “Mumu, where did you learn these things from?”

Mumu pointed to the laptop screen and said honestly, “One day, when you were sleeping, I secretly watched some videos for a while…”

Xu Youning felt even more troubled. She said, “Stop watching that complicated stuff from now on!”

“Eh? Uncle Mu also said so!” Mumu’s eyes lit up and he said excitedly, “He even said that when I grow up, I can watch the complicated stuff! Auntie Youning, is it true?”

Xu Youning didn’t want to speak.

She suddenly felt that she should be stronger and struggle to survive.

Otherwise, if she died and handed the baby over to Mu Sijue to take care of, she would probably still get angered by him.

Seeing that Xu Youning was silent, Mumu found it strange and tugged on her sleeve. “Auntie Youning, is what Uncle Mu said wrong?”

Xu Youning made a “stop” gesture and said, “Mumu, let’s stop talking about this topic. Also, you can’t tell your daddy about going to visit Sister Yunyun and Uncle Yuechuan. He will be angry. It won’t help even if you cry.”

Mumu pursed his lips reluctantly. “Okay…”

Xu Youning could see that the little boy was very disappointed. She touched his head and explained, “The situation has been very special recently. After the matter is solved, no one can stop you if you still want to visit Yunyun and Yuechuan. But now you must listen to me, understand?”

Mumu nodded. “Yes, I understand!”

“Mumu, I know you’re very worried about Yuechuan.” Xu Youning comforted the little fellow. “However, his operation has succeeded. He’s recovering. Have you forgotten?”

In other words, Shen Yuechuan was now fine and they needn’t worry about him much.

Mumu asked with confusion, “After Uncle Yuechuan recovers, he can stay with Sister Yunyun forever, right?”

“Yes!” Xu Youning nodded and asked patiently, “So? Do you have any other questions?”

“Well, yes!” Mumu threw himself into Xu Youning’s arms and said in a childish voice, “Auntie Youning, you have to get better like Uncle Yuechuan. I hope you can stay with me forever.”
