Xu Youning knew that Kang Ruicheng had specially prepared this stuff for Mumu’s self-defense so that he could use it to solve some minor troubles.

Being kidnapped by Liang Zhong was obviously not a small trouble.

Xu Youning carried Mumu onto the sofa and said, “Don’t use it casually in the future. If you irritate the person who kidnaps you, you will be in more danger, understand?”

Mumu blinked his eyes and clenched his small hand into a fist. “Actually, I am very confident in its use.”

Xu Youning was speechless. What should she say next?

At this time, Mu Sijue on the side called Mumu, “Little guy.”

Mumu looked at Mu Sijue with his innocent eyes wide open, waiting for his next words.

Mu Sijue said, “Come down. I’ll ask someone to send you back.”

Mumu blinked a few times and realized that Mu Sijue was going to send him home.

He suddenly hugged Xu Youning’s waist and said, “No, Auntie Youning, I’m not going back unless you go back with me!”

The little guy actually wanted Xu Youning to go back with him?

Even though Mu Sijue knew that Mumu was just dependent on Xu Youning, but he still picked him up from the sofa with jealousy and said, “Auntie Youning is not going anywhere else. You’re a child. It’s getting dark. You should go home.”

“You are truly a…” Mumu wanted to say that Mu Sijue was truly a child, but when he saw that Mu Sijue was several times taller than him, he swallowed his words. “I’ll stay where Aunt Youning is. I won’t leave!”

After showing his determination, Mumu broke away from Mu Sijue and ran back to hug Xu Youning tighter.

Mu Sijue realized that although the little guy was young, he was still Kang Ruicheng’s son after all, so he was not easy to deal with.

He looked at Mumu in a dangerous manner: “You…”

As soon as he said a word, Mumu cried.

Mumu’s tears kept falling from his eyes like magic. He buried his face in Xu Youning’s arms and sobbed as if he had been bullied.

Xu Youning touched Mumu’s head and said, “Your daddy will be worried if you don’t go back.”

Mumu raised his head and said tearfully, “You call daddy and tell him that I’m with you. Thus, he won’t be worried! I don’t care. I won’t leave. I just want to live with you, woowoo…”

Xu Youning held the little boy in her arms with distress and looked at Mu Sijue, but before she could say anything, Mu Sijue had refused her directly—

He said with certainty, “I don’t agree.”

It was so nice of him to save this little kid. Why should he help Kang Ruicheng raise his son?

The most important thing was that the moment the little guy arrived, Xu Youning shifted her attention from him to this little guy. Now, he couldn’t wait to throw him back to the old house of the Kang family!

“…”

Xu Youning did not know if she should further bargain with Mu Sijue.

However, it seemed that Mu Sijue would never agree under any circumstances.

She could understand. Mumu was Kang Ruicheng’s son after all.

Mumu saw Xu Youning be in a dilemma. After thinking for a while, he let go of her, walked to Mu Sijue, and looked up at him.

Mu Sijue also looked down at Mumu. The little guy looked aggrieved, but there was a kind of heartbreaking firmness in his dark eyes.

How could such a kid be Kang Ruicheng’s son?

Mumu tugged at the hem of Mu Sijue’s clothing. “Sir…”

“…” Mu Sijue did not say anything. He wanted to hear what the little guy was going to tell him.

Mumu closed his eyes hard and held back his tears. He continued, “Can you let me stay here? I will be obedient and won’t make you angry. I… I don’t want to go home, and I don’t want to go back to the United States either. I want to stay with Auntie Youning…”

After that, as if he thought of some sad things, Mumu’s tears kept falling down again. He raised his hand and kept wiping away his tears, looking very pitiful.

For some things, where there was a first time, there was a second time, such as Mu Sijue’s being softhearted to Mumu.

He wiped away the tears on the little guy’s face and said, “You can stay here for a few days. Don’t cry again if I send you back next time. Do you hear me?”

“Did you promise to let me stay with Auntie Youning?!” Mumu hugged Mu Sijue’s leg all of a sudden and said, “Thank you, sir! If I can’t cry next time, I’ll think of another way. You have to promise me next time!”

“…” Mu Sijue’s face darkened, and other people could not help laughing.

One of his men coughed and motioned for Mu Sijue to go out. Mu Sijue patted Mumu’s head and said, “Let me go, or I’ll send you back now.”

Mumu released Mu Sijue in a second. “Goodbye, sir!”

He stood straight and said goodbye to Mu Sijue seriously. His serious and lovely appearance was adorable.

Mu Sijue found that even if he knew that Mumu was Kang Ruicheng’s son, he could not dislike this little guy.

It must be because he was about to be a father. It had nothing to do with the cute, lovely, and adorable kid!

“Watch him, and don’t let him run around.” Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning and said, “Let’s talk when I come back.”

Xu Youning always felt that the “talk” Mu Sijue had mentioned would not be a serious conversation.

However, Mu Sijue did not intend to ask for her opinion. After finishing his words, he left, leaving her and Mumu alone in the living room.

“Auntie Youning!”

Mumu ran back to the sofa, threw himself into Xu Youning’s arms, and rubbed his head against her body. He looked so obedient that she unconsciously hugged him.

Xu Youning knew very well that even if Mu Sijue agreed to let Mumu stay in a moment of weakness, Mu Sijue would send him away in a few days.

And for her, it’s almost time…

“Auntie Youning, I was waiting for you to go back.” Mumu looked up and said, “But I waited for many days, and you still didn’t come back. What are you doing here? Is that person asking you to stay here?”

“No, I… I have something to do, and I need to stay here.” Xu Youning didn’t want Mumu to know the grievances between adults, and she stroked his hair. “Mumu, I’m sorry. I broke my promise.”

“I know you didn’t do it on purpose!” Mumu smiled brightly like an angel. “I forgive you!”

Xu Youning kissed Mumu’s cheek and said, “I promise I won’t do it again.”

Mumu blinked and asked, “Auntie Youning, is that person also living here?”

“Yes,” said Xu Youning. “It’s his house.”

“…” Mumu did not speak.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Youning gazed at Mumu and asked, “You don’t like him? By the way, his family name is Mu. You can call him Mr. Mu in the future.”

“It’s not that I don’t like Mr. Mu,” Mumu said with a conflicted look on his tiny face. “I just think that Mr. Mu will take you away from me. He likes you as much as I do. I can see it, humph!”

Xu Youning was speechless.

“Auntie Youning.” Mumu tugged at Xu Youning’s clothes and asked expectantly, “Do you prefer Mr. Mu or me?”

Xu Youning coughed, took a laptop, opened it, and logged into a game. “What level have you reached? Do you want me to help you level up?”

After all, Mumu was a child, and his attention was suddenly attracted by the game. So he forgot to further ask whom Xu Youning liked more, him or Mu Sijue.

At the same time, Mu Sijue was dealing with matters about Liang Zhong in the club.

One of his men came back with the documents that Mu Sijue had just given to Liang Zhong. He smoothed the wrinkles on them and handed them to Mu Sijue. “Seventh Brother, Liang Zhong’s matters have been dealt with thoroughly. The evidence of his crimes has also been submitted to the police of City A, and the police should soon find his body.”

“Okay,” Mu Sijue replied calmly, took the file bag, and went to a private room.

The other partners were all still there. Mu Sijue poured out the documents in the file bag and destroyed them in front of other people. His cooperation with the others in the private room was re-established.

In the end, he said, “Thank you for your help.”

“No, no, we greatly admire Mr. Mu for daring to take such a big risk to save a child.” A middle-aged man said, “To be honest, when you asked us to pretend to give up our cooperation and to put on a play in front of Liang Zhong, we were still a little hesitant. We were afraid that Liang Zhong would really exclusively do this business. However, it turns out that we didn’t make a wrong bet. Mr. Mu is indeed as young, promising, and decisive as the rumors say!”

Mu Sijue smiled, but his smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. He said lightly, “All your expenses here today will be borne by me. I have to go first. See you later.”

The reason why he had to go was just to go back to the villa.

After Aunt Zhou cooked dinner, she came out and found that there was a child in the house. Without asking where the child came from, she teased Mumu for a while. The little guy kept calling her grandmother, which made her very happy. She held him in her arms and kissed him again and again, unwilling to let go of him.

Xu Youning was still helping Mumu level up. Neither her and Aunt Zhou noticed that Mu Sijue had been back.

Mu Sijue frowned quietly and casually put his coat on the back of the sofa. “I’m back.”

“Well, Mr. Mu is back.” For the first time in her life, Aunt Zhou did not call Mu Sijue Little Seven. She rubbed Mumu’s forehead and said, “You must be hungry. We can eat now!”

Mumu replied obediently, “Okay.”

Aunt Zhou carried Mumu to the dining room and filled his bowls with soup and rice.

When Mu Sijue was a child, Aunt Zhou also took care of him like that.

He walked to Xu Youning and asked in a low voice, “What happened?”

Xu Youning thought for a moment and said, “This can be explained by the fact that Mumu is so adorable and Aunt Zhou has been unable to reject him!”

Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes. It was indeed not a correct decision for him to let that little guy stay!

Coincidentally, Mu Sijue caught a glimpse of the game interface on Xu Youning’s computer and astutely found that it was not Xu Youning’s game account.

He remembered that Xu Youning was not called “I Love Auntie Youning” in this game.

Mu Sijue asked indifferently, “Is that the little guy’s account?”

“Yes.” Xu Youning said, “He said he wanted to play the instance with me and asked me to level up for him.”

Mu Sijue snapped the laptop shut and casually threw it aside. “Stop playing. Go to dinner!”

Xu Youning was indeed a little hungry. She replied with an “oh” and went to the dining room.

Mu Sijue sat down on the sofa, turned on the computer, looked at Mumu’s ID, and typed quickly on the keyboard…
