Chapter 428 Xu Youning’s Choice
The news that Mu Sijue was discharged from the hospital was soon heard by Kang Ruicheng, and then the latter found Xu Youning in that shabby hut.
In the past five days, Xu Youning seemed to have been really abducted. She was obedient, except that she would ask the guards to let her out for a walk at night.
During the daytime, except for three meals and bathroom breaks, she spent the rest of the day on her bed, sleeping under the covers.
There was no denying that she was indeed slightly hopeful because of Kang Ruicheng’s words: “Mu Sijue will find a way to save you.”
But what was more evident than her slight hope was Mu Sijue’s words: “Since you like Xu Youning only who is the most unimpressive one of my women, she is for you now”.
She dared not make her hope be exposed to the sunshine, sprout and grow, so she had to sleep with her face covered under sheets.
The facts proved that she was right. Sure enough, Mu Sijue did not let her down. In the past five days, he had not appeared before her yet and completely given her up.
“Youning.” Kang Ruicheng touched the quilt on Xu Youning. “Get up.”
Xu Youning got out of the quilt and sat up, seeing Kang Ruicheng open his mouth and disclose the last news she wanted to hear:
“It’s time for you to make a decision,” said Kang Ruicheng. “Mu Sijue’s going to be discharged today, and the news came out that he would go directly to the airport after leaving the hospital.”
The implication was that he really left Xu Youning alone.
Xu Youning’s eyelashes fluttered, as if she had not clearly heard the words of Kang Ruicheng at all, but at the same time, those words had seemed to be inscribed on her mind with a ringing in her head.
There seemed to be tens of thousands of hemp ropes twined around each other in her mind, each of which represented a complex emotion and could not be explained.
The only clear thing was the feeling of the heart sinking. Her heart kept sinking, dragging her into a feeling of being left out.
It was time for her to make a decision. In this case, as long as she was still a dignified and rational people, she should not go back to Mu Sijue.
Being abandoned by Mu Sijue aside, she must risk helping Kang Ruicheng revenge after returning to Mu Sijue, because Kang Ruicheng had suffered huge losses for now. It would not take long for her identity to be revealed. Mu Sijue would definitely kill her.
She would rather pretend to be killed than go back to Mu Sijue and be disgusted and killed by him.
In this way, perhaps Mu Sijue could remember her forever.
…
Xu Youning had been taught by Kang Ruicheng personally, and the latter knew Xu Youning better than any other one. When he saw the light in her almond-shaped eyes become dimmer and dimmer, he knew that Xu Youning was going to give up.
However, he could not let Xu Youning give up.
So he asked tentatively, “A Ning, have you made the decision?”
Xu Youning opened her mouth, and the choice she had made rationally was on the tip of her tongue, but she could not say it out.
She never expected to say goodbye to Mu Sijue on that occasion where she happily kissed him on the face without saying goodbye. She had thought that she could see him again.
But after she turned around and went out, she had been abandoned, and they had stepped into separate worlds.
Xu Youning’s hover greatly pleased Kang Ruicheng, and he posed a fatal question. “A Ning, are you willing to part with him?”
Xu Youning seemed to be struck by lightning.
No, she was not.
Even if she had been ruthlessly given up by Mu Sijue, even if her reason had impelled her to choose to stay, she failed to say that she was going to stay because she was just unwilling to part with Mu Sijue.
She would be remembered by Mu Sijue forever? No, she did not like that!
She wanted to see Mu Sijue in the flesh, wanted to have fun and laugh together with him, and wanted to really feel him!
Compared with those, the disgust and hunt after her identity was disclosed did not seem to matter. Anyway, she was no longer with Mu Sijue at that time.
This was the last chance she could have to stay with Mu Sijue.
Xu Youning abruptly stood up and rushed out of the ruins.
Seeing her decisively leave behind her back, Kang Ruicheng wore a gloomier and malicious look.
As he had expected, Xu Youning completely fell in love with Mu Sijue. She wanted only Mu Sijue, and put her reason and future aside.
However, if he wanted Xu Youning to come back, he must first let Xu Youning return to Mu Sijue and work undercover.
Then he would make something happen.
In the end, Xu Youning would not only return to him, but also become a sharp and obedient weapon again.
…
…
In the past more than twenty years, Xu Youning once ran twice as hard as she could.
The first time was when she was chased by several human traffickers in the Golden Triangle.
It was the second time now.
It seemed that this was a matter of life and death. Things on both sides of the road were constantly left behind her, and she could not care about anything and could not see anything. What she did was to run.
Her identity and life in the future would be only determined by her speed at this moment.
She could go back to Mu Sijue only by running hard.
After a long time, no matter how Xu Youning tried to explore her memory, she could not remember how she returned to the hospital.
Pushing open the door of the ward, she saw that everything had been cleaned up inside. There was no one in the ward, except for a nurse who was putting things in order.
“Miss Xu?” The nurse recognized Xu Youning and said to her in surprise, “Mr. Mu has been discharged. At this time, he should be on his way to the airport.”
Xu Youning was stunned, freezing in her stance as if her soul seemed to be empty.
She staked all she had and tried her best to return to Mu Sijue, but it was too late. He left so indifferently, making her look like an extremely silly joke.
Her heart kept sinking, and the thought of giving up appeared and quickly took up her mind.
Xu Youning asked herself if she would regret it later when she gave up halfway and continued to follow Kang Ruicheng, and if she was really going to give up the last chance to stay with Mu Sijue just because she was upset temporarily.
In the end, her feelings tipped the scales in Mu Sijue’s direction. She had made the decision.
Xu Youning grabbed something, broke the drawer of the bedside table with it, took out the mobile phone, and turned to run out of the ward.
The moment when she wanted to be with Mu Sijue and rushed out of the ruins, she was fighting for herself.
So why not fight to the end?
She stopped a taxi and went straight to the airport.
The airport was so large that it was very likely that Mu Sijue had already gone aboard before she could find him, so the most important thing at present was to get the information of Mu Sijue’s flight.
It could not be found by ordinary means, but Ah Guang might know it.
Xu Youning’s mobile phone had been out of power. Fortunately, she remembered Ah Guang’s phone number. She borrowed the phone from the driver to make an international call, and was soon informed of the information she wanted by Ah Guang. It was the F26 VIP Gate.
At the airport, she directly gave the driver a few large bills. Before the driver returned her change, she had jumped over the protective fence and rushed into the airport.
She did not have a ticket and could not go through the security check. She had to use the credit card to buy a ticket casually at the counter. After going through the security check, she immediately ran towards the boarding gate of Mu Sijue.
Xu Youning did not eat anything today, and furthermore running had exhausted her physically. Just after the security check, she felt that her body part near the ribs was stinging. Maybe she got a side stitch, but she could not stop even if it hurt too much.
She was afraid that her courage would fail after Mu Sijue’s private plane took off.
F20, F21… F24…
After passing by some gates, Gate F26 finally appeared in front of Xu Youning.
She covered the stinging part, and before she could gasp, she had rushed over to open the door of the VIP departure lounge.
In the departure lounge, Mu Sijue, Jason and others were about to stand up and board the plane.
The door was suddenly opened, and Jason subconsciously stood before Mu Sijue and alertly look at the door. But unexpectedly, it was Xu Youning. Jason looked at Mu Sijue in surprise and said, “Seventh Brother, Miss Xu is back…”
It was deadly quiet in the lounge, and Mu Sijue’s pupils shrank sharply.
He certainly saw Xu Youning. At this time, she could only be described by the word of “uncollected”.
Windblown long hair, a scruffy scarf, dusty shoes, and an awful complexion…
What she looked like was quite different from the neat woman before.
Maybe because she had just ran too hard, she was puffing with her hand pressing against the ribs in her lower chest. There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and they could see the pain on her face.
“You get on the plane first.” Mu Sijue ordered in a low and indifferent voice, waking up the silent and wondering people in the lounge.
“Okay!” Jason led others to board the plane and dragged the stewardess away by the way.
There were only Mu Sijue and Xu Youning in the large departure lounge. They looked at each other, and could even hear the breathing of each other, but Mu Sijue felt that it was not real.
He had thought that, Xu Youning was so afraid of death that she would definitely take this opportunity to leave him and never appear in front of him.
But she came back.
Joy emerged inexorably from the bottom of his heart, and gradually filled his entire chest. This was not a rational reaction. Mu Sijue forced himself to think about the purpose of Xu Youning and Kang Ruicheng.
Maybe it was because Kang Ruicheng was unreconciled, or because Xu Youning had not achieved her goals. She did not really want to come back, and she just had to do it.
Thinking about it, Mu Sijue’s face clouded over. “How did you escape?”
Xu Youning suddenly wanted to laugh.
She had been locked up for so many days, and even spent her last ounce of strength to rush to him. Mu Sijue did not care if she had been badly treated these days, but just wanted to know how she came out.
His words dampened her passion, and she felt that her heartbeat was slowered. Xu Youning slightly closed her lips and answered, “… Kang Ruicheng let me go.”
“Really?” Mu Sijue meaningfully stared at Xu Youning, and he did not seem to believe her words.
A somewhat bitter feeling arose in Xu Youning’s throat. It did not matter that he did not care about her, but did not he believe her words?
Well, did he suspect that she had defected to Kang Ruicheng?
He worried too much, because she had been originally on Kang Ruicheng’s side originally…
Xu Youning ignored all her feelings, swallowed the painful feeling, wiped the sweat away on her forehead, and said, “Kang Ruicheng said that killing me was useless, so he let me tell you the words.”
“What is it?”
Xu Youning said casually, “Kang Ruicheng said that you had made his goods sink down to the sea bed, and he would not let you off easily. He warned you to be careful in City G.”
Mu Sijue laughed disapprovingly. “After his goods worth nearly ten million yuan have been sunk into the sea bed, did he only tell me that?”
Xu Youning was speechless. Actually, she told him that.
Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning all over. “Did Kang Ruicheng do any harm to you?”
Xu Youning shook her head. “No.”
She was one of valuable assistants to Kang Ruicheng, and she spared no effort to work for Kang Ruicheng. Mu Sijue had expected that Kang Ruicheng was reluctant to do any harm to her, and he looked away and said coldly, “Let’s go aboard.”
Xu Youning did not ignore the chill in Mu Sijue’s voice.
Hey, how much did Mu Qi hate her? Was he upset that Kang Ruicheng didn’t abuse her?
