Chapter 1225 – It’s time, to judge Xu Yuning (1)
Ah Jin has been following Kang Rui Cheng for a week, and because he has suspicions, he keeps an eye on his every move.
When Kang Ruicheng mentioned Dongzi, he was even more careful to capture some key information, trying to a.n.a.lyze Dongzi’s whereabouts.
However, he hadn’t gathered any useful information, and Dongzi hadn’t shown up.
In order to avoid suspicion, for a whole week, Ah Jin would not go to Xu Yuning even when he arrived at the gate of the Kang family’s old mansion.
Until that Friday night.
Kang Ruicheng finished his work late and asked Jin to send him back and take some things away from the old mansion on the way.
When Ah Jin followed Kang Ruicheng through the door, Xu Yuning and Mu Mu were having a midnight snack.
It should be due to fetal development, recently at night, Xu Yuning was always easily hungry, and often had to ask the chef to prepare a snack for her, for which Mu Mu even complained a little bit, saying that the flesh on his face had grown too much.
Xu Yuning pinched the little guy’s face and snubbed him in a serious manner, “It’s even cuter this way!”
Mu Mu couldn’t fully understand what cute meant yet, but she didn’t refuse to accompany Xu Yuning for a midnight snack.
It was unfortunate that they were b.u.mped into by Kang Ruicheng and Ah Jin today.
Mu Mu and Ah Jin were quite familiar with each other, and when she saw Ah Jin, she waved excitedly, “Uncle Ah Jin!”
Ah Jin smiled and walked over, asking affectionately, “Mu Mu, are you having a snack?”
“Uh-huh, yeah, it’s delicious!” Mu Mu blinked her eyes in a cute way and nodded, “Uncle Ah Jin, do you want to eat with us?”
If Ajin sat down for a snack, he could also say something to Xu Yuning in the meantime.
Xu Yuning, with that calm and collected look now, probably didn’t know that she had already been suspected by Kang Ruicheng.
However, Kang Ruicheng was right next to him, if Ah Jin just sat down like this, his purpose was too obvious, Kang Ruicheng might become suspicious of him again, and incidentally, he would sit down and confirm his suspicion of Xu Yuning.
A Jin weighed his options and finally gave up on the opportunity in front of him, smiled and said to Mu Mu, “I’m not hungry, you guys take your time to eat.” Saying that, he looked towards Xu Yuning with a very respectful att.i.tude, “Ms. Xu, I’m going to find Brother Cheng.”
Xu Yuning glanced at Jin and gave a nonchalant ‘hmm’.
Just as Jin turned around, Mu Mu rubbed up against Xu Yuning’s side and handed Xu Yuning a puzzled look.
He’s asking Xu Yuning if he needs to leave Jin behind.
Xu Yuning nodded gently, without a trace.
Kang Ruicheng had begun to suspect her, and in this mansion, Ah Jin was the only person who could help her, so of course she had to get through to Ah Jin.
However, Kang Ruicheng was right here, and she couldn’t show the slightest hint of her eagerness for Ah Jin, or else she would surely arouse Kang Ruicheng’s suspicion.
If she wanted to be alone with Jin today, she would probably have to rely on Mu Mu as her divine helper.
At this time, Ah Jin had already walked over to Kang Ruicheng, his att.i.tude as respectful as the others, “Brother Cheng, where is the stuff, I’ll take it away.”
“It’s in the study, I’ll get it.”
Kang Ruicheng’s words had just fallen, and before he had time to take a step up the stairs, Mu Mu ran over with his legs spread out, pulling A Jin’s arm, and pleading in a soft voice, “Uncle A Jin, don’t go.”
Jin looked at the little one unexpectedly and asked in tears, “Mu Mu, what’s wrong?”
Mu Mu clutched Ah Jin while looking at Kang Ruicheng,, “Daddy, I want Uncle Ah Jin to play the game with me!”
Kang Ruicheng frowned, his tone filled with dissatisfaction, “Don’t you have Auntie Yuning to play games with you?”
“I’ve had too many fights with Auntie Yuning, I want to try with Uncle Ah Jin!” Mu Mu first expressed his wish forcefully, then attacked Kang Ruicheng, pouting and pleading, “Daddy, please, promise me once!”
Kang Ruicheng looked to Jin, looking like he was about to imply something.
Ah Jin took advantage of the fact that Kang Ruicheng hadn’t said anything yet, and busily grabbed the lead and said, “Brother Shing, I have time, if you want me to stay and play a couple of games with Mu Mu, I’m totally fine with that, it’s been a long time since I’ve had the time to play a game as well!”
Ajin’s tone sounded like he was completely thinking about Kang Ruicheng.
But in reality, he was clearly blocking Conrad City’s back.
Once he said that, Kang Ruicheng had no excuse to reject Mu Mu’s request at all.
In the end, Kang Ruicheng could only nod and agree, “You guys can play for forty minutes.”
Mu Mu cheered and joyfully gave Kang Ruicheng a flying kiss, “Daddy, I love you.”
Kang Ruicheng naturally knew that Mu Mu’s sudden love for him came from her pa.s.sion for the game, and simply said, “I’m going up to get something.”
Mu Mu called out to Xu Yuning and said with a leap of faith, “Auntie Yuning, let’s play together.”
His voice sounded like he was only enthusiastic about the game and not hitting on any other ideas.
Xu Yuning walked over and nodded, “Good.
Three people sit down in a circle, each with a tablet device, and form a team to enter a real-life match.
Mu put on his headphones and said he was there to experience the game sound.
Xu Yuning and Ah Jin were both clear that the brat was giving them a chance to talk freely.
Arkin maneuvered his character in the game, looking serious as he played the game, while saying, “He’s already starting to suspect you, you know?”
“I know.” Xu Yuning released a skill and asked in a low voice, “Have you seen Dongzi in the past few days?”
“You also noticed that Tohko was missing?” Akane said lightly, “I suspect he’s gone to investigate you.”
“I suspected as much.” Xu Yuning smiled, and his tone became a bit grave, “Seventh Brother will come to pick me up soon, but there’s a possibility that I’ll be exposed before he arrives.”
“Don’t worry too much, if Dongzi is really investigating you, I will implement interference.” Taking advantage of the effort to return to the city, Ah Jin raised his head to look at Xu Yuning and said nonchalantly, “I promised Seventh Brother that I would protect you.”
Xu Yuning was surprised for a moment and asked, “When did you promise him?”
Ajin thought back carefully, but realized how he couldn’t remember, so he had to shake his head, “It’s been a long time, I can’t remember much.”
Xu Yuning didn’t get a concrete answer, but the corners of his lips still had an extra smile.
It turned out that when she didn’t know anything yet, Mu Sijun had already begun to arrange everything around her, using all the power he could to protect her well.
From a long time ago, she wasn’t alone in all this.
Xu Yuning looked to Jin and said softly, “Thank you.”
A Jin didn’t say too many polite words to Xu Yuning either, he just smiled and signaled her, “Take off Mu Mu’s earphones, lest Kang Ruicheng see it and get up in arms.”
Xu Yuning took off Mu Mu’s headphones, and when Kang Ruicheng came down, the three of them had won exactly one game of sparring.
Kang Ruicheng handed over his things to Ah Jin, and before he could say anything, Mu Mu slowly reminded, “Daddy, you promised me that you’d let Uncle Ah Jin play with me for forty minutes oh!”
“Don’t worry, I remember and won’t back out.” Kang Rui Cheng looked at the time and reminded the Kid in the same tone, “You only have 25 minutes left now.”
Mu “Hmph”, “We can still play another round!”
The next game encountered a more powerful opponent, Mu Mu did not play with much heart, always letting the other side go, and it took a whole thirty minutes of fighting before he finally won with great difficulty.
Mu could only stall for so long if he tried to do everything he could.
Kang Rui Cheng was right next to him, and Ajin knew that at a time like this, he had to show his loyalty to Kang Rui Cheng no matter what.
Ajin stroked Mu Mu’s head, “Okay, forty minutes has already exceeded the time limit oh, I have to go.”
Mu bit her lip, very reluctant and reluctant, “Alright …… you go ……”
Akane smiled, “I’ll fight with you next time I get the chance.”
Mu Mu’s eyes immediately lit up and she nodded, “Good! Uncle Akin, you have to remember what you said! Well, I love playing games with you and Auntie Yuning the most!”
Akane knew that the Kid’s words were meant to set the stage for the future, but she was still coaxed by the Kid, and the smile on her face grew deeper, “I like playing games with you, too.”
Kang Ruicheng seemed to be unable to look on, and spoke out unhappily, “Alright, Mu Mu, go back to your room and go to sleep, it’s not early.”
The implication is that it’s time for Akin to go too.
Ah Jin could certainly understand Kang Ruicheng’s hint and waved his hand at Mu Mu, “See you next time.”
After sending off A Jin, Xu Yuning brought about Mu Mu to go upstairs, but Kang Ruicheng suddenly called out to her, “Ah Ning, wait a moment, I have something to say to you.” After a pause, he continued, “Let the others take Mu Mu up.”
Xu Yuning handed Mu Mu over to the family’s maid and looked at Kang Ruicheng in puzzlement, “Is there something wrong?”
Kang Ruicheng didn’t say anything, staring at Xu Yuning with a deep and inscrutable gaze, after a long time, Xu Yuning didn’t say anything again, he also didn’t say anything as if he had given up on something.
Since Xu Yuning was still unwilling to be honest, there was no need for him to be too proactive.
No matter how weird the atmosphere was, Xu Yuning was very calm and hard and did not make a sound.
At times like this, the more she initiated, the more she would appear to be weak-minded.
Kang Ruicheng waved his hand and said, “There’s nothing more to do, you go up.”
“Good.” Xu Yuning’s reaction was very calm, forcibly holding back the uneasiness in his heart as he turned to go upstairs.
Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Yuning’s back and walked outside to the garden to light a cigarette, not long after, he received a call from Dongzi.
This week, Dongzi had been busy repairing the video that had been cut and spliced, and two days ago, Dongzi had told him that the means of video cutting and splicing was very similar to Xu Yuning’s usual techniques.
Finally, Dongzi said, “Shingo, you have to be prepared.”
In the past two days, Kang Ruicheng had been trapped in a deep conflict – he had feelings for Xu Yuning, should he give Xu Yuning another chance?
Until just now, Xu Yuning resolutely did not open her mouth until this moment, when Dongzi’s phone call came again.
Kang Ruicheng finally figured it out and finally made a decision.
The results of the video restoration should be out by now.
It was time for him, to judge Hsu Yuning.
