Xu Youning’s soul was almost out of her body.

She floated to the room and did not know how she got on the bed. She just subconsciously pulled up the quilt to cover her chest.

Even so, it could not stop her heart from beating wildly.

When Mu Sijue mentioned their marriage, she said that she needed a week to think about it, just to delay her answer.

In order to avoid this question, she even deliberately made things difficult for Mu Sijue and asked him why he wanted to marry her.

Mu Sijue replied that it was because he loved her and wanted their child to come to this world as a legitimate child and grow up under the sunshine.

The moment she heard Mu Sijue say that he loved her, she was ecstatic. For the first time, she felt that happiness was tangible, close at hand, and within reach.

But when she was still in high spirits, the cruel reality was like a bucket of ice water, pouring down from the top of her head and forcing her to be sober-minded.

She had remembered Doctor Liu’s words that the child didn’t have vitality. Her child was not lucky enough to come to this world.

Moreover, she would die at any time.

If Mu Sijue knew that she and their child would leave him, he would definitely break down.

The happiness she had just encountered instantly turned into powder.

It was not that she didn’t want to stay, but she didn’t dare to stay. She was afraid to see Mu Sijue break down.

So, she planned to take Mumu back to the Kang family once she had a chance.

After she went back this time, Kang Ruicheng would definitely trust her completely. Then, she could start finding the evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s crimes.

Of course, she would probably be discovered by Kang Ruicheng, but it didn’t matter. At worst, she would die with Kang Ruicheng.

As for Mu Sijue…

She could just let him think that she was still unwilling to believe him, stay with him, and give birth to his child. Finally, she faced the consequences and died at the hands of Kang Ruicheng.

In this way, Mu Sijue would only have hatred for her.

It was easier to hate her than to love her.

However, today’s examination changed her idea.

The child, who had been recognized by Doctor Liu to have no vitality, was now growing up healthily in her belly. The child would slowly grow up and then come to this world.

She would probably not carry out her original plan to return to Kang Ruicheng.

She had thought that the child didn’t have vitality, so she had no scruples.

But now, she couldn’t risk her child’s life.

Just as Su Jian’an had said, she could leave everything to Mu Sijue. How nice it would be for her to stay and live a carefree life like Xiao Yunyun!

Before long, Mu Sijue finished the shower and came out. He lay on the bed, hugged Xu Youning from behind, and put his chin on her shoulder.

All of a sudden, Xu Youning was not satisfied. She pretended to fall asleep, turned over, and leaned into Mu Sijue’s arms.

Mu Sijue didn’t look at her carefully and thought that Xu Youning was really asleep. Considering that such a posture, which was full of reliance, was her subconscious reaction, he couldn’t help smiling slightly. Then, he held Xu Youning in his arms and closed his eyes.

The two of them had a good night.

The next day, after breakfast, one of his men ran in and told Mu Sijue, “Seventh Brother, everything is ready. We can go back.”

Mumu was eating a big meat bun, and he looked up with his black eyes full of surprise. “Mr. Mu, where are you going?”

Mu Sijue said, “Going home.”

Mumu compressed his lips, and his voice sounded a little unhappy. “When will you come back?”

Mu Sijue glanced at the little boy and simply replied, “By tomorrow morning.”

Mumu opened his mouth and obviously wanted to say something, but he didn’t speak in the end. He lowered his head and took a bite of the meat bun in silence.

Mu Sijue took the scarf from Aunt Zhou and looked at Xu Youning. “Send me away.”

“Oh.”

Xu Youning quickly stood up and followed Mu Sijue out.

Although it was weird to send Mu Sijue away, she… didn’t seem to hate to do that.

Mumu tilted his head and thought for a while. Then he jumped off the chair and also followed Mu Sijue out.

Compared with a few days ago, it was much warmer today. Golden sunlight shone on the entire top of the mountain, driving away the coldness in the wind and bringing a touch of warmth.

Xu Youning couldn’t help taking a deep breath and feeling the long-lost warmth.

Mu Sijue looked back at Xu Youning and accidentally found that she was enjoying herself. He asked, “How about walking there?”

Xu Youning said, “It’s pretty sunny today. Let’s walk there!”

Mu Sijue held Xu Youning’s hand. Xu Youning was not used to it, but she didn’t struggle.

Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly saw Mumu following behind and called the little boy. “Come here.”

“Hmph!” Mumu turned his head and ran over to hold Xu Youning’s hand. He stuck out his tongue at Mu Sijue and said, “I won’t hold your hand!”

Mu Sijue squinted and ordered, “Come over here.”

“No!” Mumu made a face at Mu Sijue. “Lalala…”

Mu Sijue pretended to teach the little boy a lesson, but Mumu reacted quickly. He nimbly moved to Xu Youning to avoid Mu Sijue and poked out half his head to provoke him. “You can’t catch me! You can’t catch me!”

In the end, Xu Youning couldn’t stand them anymore, and she dragged Mu Sijue and Mumu to the helistop.

Of course, she was actually holding the hand of a childish man on her left side and the hand of a childish boy on her right side.

The pilot and the crew had been already in place, and Mu Sijue’s men had also gotten on the helicopter. Everyone was waiting for Mu Sijue.

Xu Youning let go of Mu Sijue’s hand and said, “Get on board.”

Mu Sijue reminded Xu Youning, “In case anything happens, go to find Boyan next door.”

“You’ll come back by tomorrow. Nothing will happen to me.” Xu Youning couldn’t help complaining. “Even if something bad happens, I can solve it by myself!”

Mu Sijue stared at Xu Youning. “Say it again?”

Xu Youning felt a sense of danger. With the idea that a wise woman knew when to retreat, she immediately nodded and said, “I got it. If anything happens, I will go to Jian’an’s house!”

Then, Mu Sijue’s dangerous look disappeared, and he looked at Mumu.

Mumu still looked very unhappy. He turned his back to Mu Sijue, not letting Mu Sijue look at his face.

Mu Sijue walked up to Mumu and said face to face with him, “I remember what I promised you.”

With complex emotions, Mumu played with his fingers and slowly raised his head to look at Mu Sijue. “I thought you forgot…”

Mu Sijue had promised the little boy yesterday that he would play games with him today.

“I’ll try my best to come back before dark.” Mu Sijue said, “Thus, I can play games with you tonight.”

Mumu’s eyes finally lit up. He nodded and hooked Mu Sijue’s pinky finger with his. “That’s a deal!”

Mu Sijue cooperated with Mumu to press his thumb against Mumu’s. “Okay.”

Mumu finally became happy again. He waved at Mu Sijue and said, “Then you can go now. See you tonight!”

Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning and made an eye gesture to her—the little boy was looking forward to his return, shouldn’t she say something?

Under Mu Sijue’s gaze, Xu Youning felt a little guilty and coughed. “I’m waiting for you to come back.”

At this time, his subordinate poked his head out of the cabin. “Seventh Brother, it’s about time.”

Mu Sijue nodded, looked away from Xu Youning, and boarded the helicopter.

Xu Youning didn’t look away from Mu Sijue’s back until a car stopped beside her.

She came to her senses. The driver got out of the car and opened the door of the back seat, saying, “Miss Xu, get in the car. Mr. Mu’s helicopter is about to take off.”

Xu Youning replied with a “yes” and finally glanced at Mu Sijue before going back to the villa with Mumu.

The villa was actually not big, but after Mu Sijue left, Xu Youning always felt that something was missing, so that the villa was empty.

After pondering for a while, Xu Youning suddenly realized that her heart seemed to be empty.

Xu Youning was shocked by her idea and quickly handed the gamepad to Mumu. “How about playing games?”

Mumu shook his head and pouted. “Auntie Youning, how could you do this?”

Xu Youning was confused. “What did I do?”

“Mr. Mu said that you couldn’t play games anymore.” Mumu asked angrily, “What if it affects the baby?”

“Just for an hour,” said Xu Youning. “Anyway, Mr. Mu is not here. As long as we don’t tell him about it, no one else will know.”

Mumu placed the gamepad under his body and did not let Xu Youning touch it. Then he looked at Xu Youning seriously. “You’re not allowed to play games. I won’t play with you! I know Mr. Mu’s phone number. If you continue like this, I’ll call him!”

Xu Youning was confused. “Mumu, don’t you hate Mu Sijue? Why do you listen to him now?”

Mumu compressed his lips and denied it. “I don’t listen to Mr. Mu. I just want to protect the baby!”

“Since you like babies so much, I’ll take you to the see Xiangyi next door.”

Mumu jumped up immediately. “Great!”

When Xu Youning took Mumu to Su Jian’an’s house, Xiao Yunyun was just woken up by Shen Yuechuan from her sleep.

“You lazy ass.” Shen Yuechuan pinched Xiao Yunyun’s nose and said, “The restaurant just sent pastries here. Get up to have breakfast.”

Xiao Yunyun buried her face in the pillow and asked lazily, “What did they send here?”

“All of them are your favorite.” Shen Yuechuan said, “If you don’t get up now, I’ll eat them all.”

“Oh!” Xiao Yunyun bounced up from the bed like a spring and quickly ran to the bathroom to wash up.

In less than fifteen minutes, Xiao Yunyun came out of the bathroom and ran to the dining room.

Shen Yuechuan didn’t lie to her. Half of the table was filled with her favorite food!

Shen Yuechuan had woken her up, and there was a sumptuous breakfast waiting for her. This morning was perfect!

Xiao Yunyun had just taken a bite of the shrimp dumpling when she received a call from Luo Xiaoxi.

She picked up her phone and went to the balcony to answer the call.

“Yunyun, have you gotten up?” She heard Luo Xiaoxi’s voice. “Do you have time to try the wedding dress today?”

“Okay.” Xiao Yunyun lowered her voice. “When?”

“Let’s meet at the flagship store on Huainan Road.” Luo Xiaoxi said, “I’ll be there in about an hour and a half. What about you?”

Xiao Yunyun calculated the time and said, “I’m having breakfast. I should be there by that time too. That’s settled then. See you later!”

Shen Yuechuan sat in the dining room, looking through the glass window at Xiao Yunyun, who was standing on the balcony.

It was indeed right for him to decide to pay attention to Xiao Yunyun.

The little girl must be hiding something from him!
