Xu Youning glanced at the retro clock on the wall. The hands pointed exactly at ten o'clock.

Mu Mu covered her mouth and yawned: "Why hasn't Daddy come back yet? I want to sleep."

Xu Youning put away the gaming equipment and said, "I won't wait for your daddy. Let's go to bed first."

The kid tilted his head listlessly, feeling that he couldn't hold on anymore, and nodded: "Okay."

He climbed into Xu Youning's arms, hugged Xu Youning's neck coquettishly, buried his head on Xu Youning's shoulder, and said in a sweet voice: "Aunt Youning, I want to sleep with you."

"Don't you like sleeping alone?" Xu Youning asked.

"I don't like it!" The kid raised his head and looked at Xu Youning with sleepy eyes, "I would be scared to sleep alone."

"Huh?" Xu Youning looked at the kid in confusion, "You sleep alone in the United States, aren't you afraid?"

"Yes..." The kid lowered his head and pointed his fingers aggrievedly, "I told my aunt that I was scared. But my aunt told me that she couldn't help me."

Xu Youning suddenly felt soft-hearted.

After Mumu's mother passed away, Kangruicheng sent him to the United States and let him live alone in a villa. Although he was provided with bodyguards and nannies, those people only used Kangruicheng's money to do things for him.

No one really cared whether Mumu was happy during the day or scared at night.

At an age when she should be surrounded by love, Mumu has already realized what loneliness is.

Xu Youning touched the kid's head and said, "I will accompany you from now on."

She took Mu Mu back to her room, and the kid kept holding her hand. She couldn't even change into her pajamas, so she could only lie down with Mu Mu like this.

In the early morning, when Xu Youning was sleeping deeply, he suddenly noticed an unusual noise. He opened his eyes and unexpectedly saw Kang Ruicheng sitting beside the bed.

There was no light in the room, only the cold white light in the yard was cut into irregular shapes by the windows and projected onto Kang Ruicheng, illuminating half of his face while the other half was submerged in the night, like a sleeping beast. It smells of danger.

Xu Youning took a breath of air, and before he could react, the beast in Kang Ruicheng woke up from his slumber - he rushed towards her and pressed her on the bed.

"A Ning..." Kang Ruicheng pressed Xu Youning hard, and the smell of alcohol on his body floated into Xu Youning's breath, "I..."

He seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated.

Xu Youning was so angry that he subconsciously raised his hand——

"Snapped!"

A slap fell hard on Kang Ruicheng's face.

The dry and cold air became stiff instantly, and the people in Kangruicheng were more than half awake, looking at Xu Youning in disbelief.

What surprised him was not that Xu Youning dared to hit him, but Xu Youning's resistance, the kind of resistance that came from his heart and did not want to be touched by him.

Sure enough, the fact that grandma passed away not long ago was just Xu Youning's excuse.

Xu Youning is not willing to accept him at all!

"Why!" Kang Ruicheng suddenly grabbed Xu Youning's collar, "Aning, why don't you want to? Is it because of Mu Sijue, isn't it?!"

"..." Xu Youning said nothing.

Just when Kang Ruicheng was about to get angry again, a small figure stood up from the other side of the bed and looked at Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning in confusion: "Daddy, Aunt Youning, what are you doing?"

Kang Ruicheng didn't expect Mu Mu to be here. He immediately let go of Xu Youning's collar and tried his best to hide the anger in his voice: "I'll talk to Aunt Youning about something. You go to bed first."

"Oh." Mu Mu rubbed her eyes, "Aunt Youning, then I'll wait for you to come back."

"good."

Xu Youning pulled the quilt around the little guy, got out of bed and walked out of the room.

Kang Ruicheng felt annoyed for the first time. He followed Xu Youning out and closed the door.

At this moment, Xu Youning turned around and made a backhand, and his slap was intercepted by Kang Ruicheng before he could hit his face.

Kang Ruicheng grabbed Xu Youning's wrist ferociously: "That's enough!"

Xu Youning used force to break away from Kang Ruicheng's grasp and looked at him coldly: "You clearly promised me that you would not force me to do anything until you deal with Mu Sijue. However, you have tested me again and again, and now in the middle of the night By breaking into my room, do you want to force me to move out?"

"..." Kang Ruicheng gestured with frustration, "I didn't know Mumu was in your room."

Xu Youning sneered: "Mumu is not in my room, can you just break in like this?"

"A Ning..." Kang Ruicheng looked deeply at Xu Youning, with something floating in his eyes, "I..."

"No need to explain anymore!" Xu Youning interrupted Kang Ruicheng and emphasized every word, "This is the last time I forgive you. If there is a next time, I will move out with Mu Mu!"

After saying that, she pushed Kang Ruicheng away and went back to the room, locked the door behind her, and leaned against the door panel as if all her strength had been drained from her body.

Only then did Xu Youning notice a chill running down her spine.

Just now, the way Kang Ruicheng looked at her was not just as simple as desire, but also...feeling.

Like the feelings she had for Musijue.

This is ridiculous.

I don't know how much time passed before Xu Youning came back to his senses and remembered Mu Mu.

She walked back to the bed and saw Mu Mu wrapped in a quilt and dozing off. Her little head was moving little by little. Finally, she couldn't hold it anymore and the little guy fell onto the bed with the quilt in his arms.

As soon as he fell down, the little guy woke up. He looked at himself and found that his sleeping posture was a bit strange. He kicked the quilt casually, got into the bed and adjusted a comfortable position, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

He didn't notice Xu Youning, and probably forgot that Xu Youning went out.

Xu Youning looked at Mu Mu, and her frightened heart calmed down a lot. She lay down and tucked the kid into bed.

Now, she can still use the excuse of being angry to reject Kang Ruicheng again and again.

However, if it happens too often, sooner or later it will arouse Kang Ruicheng's suspicion.

Now that Kang Ruicheng completely trusts her, she can no longer delay, collect evidence of Kang Ruicheng's crime as soon as possible, and end all this as soon as possible.

However, after everything was over, Mu Mu...

Xu Youning hugged the little guy: "Mumu, I'm sorry."

Of course, Mu Mu didn't hear Xu Youning's words. She unconsciously scratched her face and leaned against Xu Youning, sleeping until dawn.

The next day, when Xu Youning opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Mu Mu sitting cross-legged on the bedside and looking at her.

"Aunt Youning!" Seeing Xu Youning wake up, a smile spread on the kid's face, "Good morning!"

Xu Youning discovered that winter mornings can also be exceptionally warm.

She kissed the little guy's forehead: "Good morning."

After washing up, Xu Youning took the little guy downstairs and found that there was only breakfast for two on the dining table. He looked at Ah Jin in confusion.

"Brother Cheng went out early in the morning." Ajin said, "Auntie only prepared breakfast for you and Mumu."

Xu Youning carried Mu Mu onto the chair: "Ignore him, let's eat."

Mu Mu nodded and said while drinking porridge: "Aunt Youning, after breakfast, let's continue playing games."

Xu Youning inadvertently caught a glimpse of the corner of a mobile phone peeking out of the pocket of Ah Jin's coat, and said calmly: "I have something to do later, so let Uncle Ah Jin play with you first, and I will come down to accompany you after I finish the work, okay?"

Although Mu Mu liked Xu Youning more, she did not reject Ah Jin and nodded: "Okay."

After breakfast, Xu Youning picked up Mumu and walked to Ah Jin: "Please, please take him to play for a while."

"No problem." Ah Jin stretched out his hand to Mu Mu, "Come, uncle, hold me."

Mu Mu hugged Ah Jin obediently. Xu Youning let go of him. When he put down his hand, he pinched the corner of Ah Jin's phone with two fingers and pulled it out quietly. The phone slipped silently into her sleeve. .

Xu Youning put his hands into the pockets of his coat without changing his expression: "You guys play, I'm going up."

Back in the room, Xu Youning locked the door, unlocked Ah Jin's phone, and brought up the dialing interface. Only then did she remember that she didn't know Shen Yuechuan's number.

Shen Yuechuan's contact information is public. If she checks it, she can definitely find it.

However, she doesn't have that much time.

She must return the phone to Ah Jin before Ah Jin finds out, otherwise she will soon arouse suspicion if Kang Ruicheng asks.

After weighing it up, Xu Youning finally called Mu Sijue's phone number.

Yes, she remembered Musijue's number, word for word, clearly.

After dialing the number, a dull "beep--" sounded in his hand. Xu Youning unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes, and his heartbeat gradually lost its frequency.

She had the most intimate contact with Musijue, and also had the most intense quarrels and breaks, but when she thought about hearing his voice, her heartbeat still accelerated unsatisfactorily just by hearing the voice.

That feeling was like that of a 17-year-old girl going to meet the boy in white whom she had a crush on for a long time.

In this life, she may never be able to escape the curse of Mu Sijue.

"Hello?"

Mu Sijue's deep and cold voice came from the mobile phone, and it captured Xu Youning's soul in an instant. Xu Youning opened his mouth, but suddenly lost his speech function and was unable to speak.

At this moment, Xu Youning realized how useless she was - just hearing Mu Sijue's voice made her feel satisfied.

"who?"

Musijue has always been impatient, and his voice was already full of displeasure.

Xu Youning took a deep breath and used all his ancient strength to steady his voice: "It's me."

"..." After two seconds of silence, Mu Sijue's deep and seductive voice came, "Xu Youning?"

"Yes, it's me." Xu Youning tried his best to appear calm, "Mu Sijue, I have something to tell you, related to Yunyun and Yuechuan."

On the one hand, it was because of nervousness, and on the other hand, Xu Youning's palms were sweating in the cold winter. She emphasized: "Listen to me carefully."

"Let's talk when we meet." Mu Sijue interrupted Xu Youning willfully with three words.

Xu Youning almost choked on his own words and threw out angrily: "I don't want to see you!"

According to Musijue's temper, he definitely couldn't stand such indifference. Next, he should order her to speak quickly if she has anything to say.

However, this time, Xu Youning was wrong——

As if he didn't understand what she said, Mu Sijue said to himself, "I want to see you."
