Chapter 837 Xu Youning, Do You Want to Marry Me?
As soon as she returned to her room, Xu Youning collapsed on the bed.
She had experienced so many onsets of her symptoms. Just now, when she vaguely felt that her eyes were sore, she knew that she should not stay downstairs anymore.
As soon as she went back to the room, she was overwhelmed by pain and flung herself on the bed.
The whole world blurred before her eyes.
The professor had told her that her symptoms would occur more and more frequently, which was a sign that she should have surgery immediately.
But she had never thought that the symptoms would occur so frequently in just a few days.
No wonder that monster was able to devour an unborn life…
After lying in bed for more than half an hour, Xu Youning finally could see clearly everything before her eyes. She managed to sit up and looked into the mirror. Her face was a little pale.
She went into the bathroom and splashed her face with warm water. After stroking her face for a while, the unhealthy paleness on her face finally disappeared.
In this way, Mu Sijue would not see anything wrong.
Xu Youning dried her face and went downstairs. She found that she was thinking too much.
Not to mention noticing her pale face, Mu Sijue didn’t even look at her. He and Mumu focused all their attention on the large-size LCD screen in the living room. He was holding the game equipment in his hands and competing with Mumu.
Obviously, Mumu was having a good time. While controlling the character in the game, he shouted, “Out of my way. Or I will be very slow!”
“As long as I don’t violate the rules, I can stand in your way.” Mu Sijue provoked a four-year-old child. “If you have the ability, you can also stand in my way.”
Mumu snorted defiantly and swiftly operated his game equipment, but he couldn’t surpa.s.s Mu Sijue in any way.
After all, he was still young, and his idea of winning and losing was very straightforward and strong. He only knew that he was unwilling to lose to Mu Sijue, but the game time was about to end.
In a panic, Mumu bit Mu Sijue’s hand and said, “You deliberately stood in my way!”
Mu Sijue looked at the bite on his wrist and asked, “Did you bite me deliberately?”
“Yep!” Mumu stuck out his chest as if he was saying, “I’m a man, and I’m not afraid of you. So what?”
Mu Sijue put down the game equipment and slowly rolled up his sleeves.
Mumu stared at Mu Sijue innocently, not knowing what Mu Sijue was going to do. It was not until Mu Sijue looked at him that he realized the danger.
“Wow!” Mumu screamed. “Mr. Mu is going to become a monster. Run!”
However, in front of Mu Sijue, he could not run away.
Mu Sijue reached out to grab Mumu, dragged him back to the sofa, and tickled him. “What did I become?”
“Haha…” Mumu pushed Mu Sijue, while avoiding his “attack”. But he laughed so hard that he soon lost his strength. In the end, he collapsed on the sofa and allowed Mu Sijue to tickle him. He could only keep laughing as if the little guy who had cried in the morning was not him.
Xu Youning walked down and coughed loudly.
When Mu Sijue saw Xu Youning, he finally stopped tickling Mumu and picked him up from the sofa.
Xu Youning asked Mumu, “Have you forgiven Mr. Mu?”
Mumu tilted his head and nodded. “Yes! Mr, Mu is very powerful, so I can completely forgive him! And I know he didn’t do it on purpose.”
Mu Sijue was very satisfied with the answer. He looked at Xu Youning proudly, but Xu Youning turned her head and did not look at him.
She then asked Mumu, “And then?”
Xu Youning knew Mumu better than anyone else. Since the little guy said so, there must be an unexpected turn Mu Sijue could not imagine.
Sure enough—
“But—” Mumu gazed at Xu Youning and then seriously emphasized, “I still won’t leave you to Mr. Mu. When I grow up, I can be as powerful as Mr. Mu and protect you.”
Xu Youning smiled and looked at Mu Sijue slowly. “Did you hear that?”
Mu Sijue grabbed Mumu and looked into his eyes. “Do you mean that you want to compete fairly with me?”
Mumu nodded. “Yes!”
“Very good.” Mu Sijue let go of him, turned his head, and whispered in Xu Youning’s ear, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll win soon.”
Soon?
Xu Youning found herself unable to figure out the meaning of the word and looked puzzled.
Mu Sijue said, “After lunch, I have something to tell you.”
Xu Youning replied. “Oh, I’ll wait.”
What Mu Sijue was about to tell her was something that could make him win, right?
She was very curious about Mu Sijue’s methods.
After lunch, Mumu yawned and said that he was sleepy. He grabbed Xu Youning’s clothes and asked her to sleep with him upstairs. Seeing that Mu Sijue didn’t intend to interfere, Xu Youning took Mumu upstairs.
Mu Sijue did not stop them.
Anyway, he would give the little guy a big blow soon. Allowing Xu Youning to take a nap with him could be considered as compensation for the little guy.
He just hoped that time would go faster.
Xu Youning was not sleepy. After coaxing Mumu to fall asleep, she came down from the second floor and saw Mu Sijue sitting on the sofa and reading a magazine.
She walked over and sat down opposite Mu Sijue. “What are you going to tell me?”
Mu Sijue put down the magazine. After musing a short while, he looked at Xu Youning solemnly and said, “Let’s get married.”
Before meeting Xu Youning, Mu Sijue had never thought that he would say that to someone.
Now, he said it in front of Xu Youning. Inevitably, it was a little bit awkward, and the proposal even sounded like an order.
Xu Youning seemed to be shocked by something and froze on the sofa. She gazed at Mu Sijue in a daze and couldn’t react at all.
Xu Youning finally came to her senses after what seemed like half a century and asked, “Mu Sijue, are you serious?”
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and emphasized word by word. “No man would take this sentence as a joke!”
So, he was serious.
Mu Sijue stared at Xu Youning with burning eyes, which suddenly scorched Xu Youning’s heart.
Xu Youning tried her best to restrain her voice from trembling. “Why do you want to marry me?”
“…” Mu Sijue’s eyes were scorching. “Boyan married Jian’an because of love. Yicheng married Xiaoxi because of love. I want to marry you because of love, too.”
Xu Youning suddenly clenched her fists and subconsciously avoided Mu Sijue’s gaze. “Mu Sijue, let’s talk about it later…”
She did not agree, which meant that she refused.
Mu Sijue walked up to Xu Youning and stared at her intensely. “Why?”
Being overwhelmed by the strong aura on him, Xu Youning lowered her head and found it inexplicably difficult to breathe.
“Don’t make me.” She could not tell the truth…
Mu Sijue was impatient. He lifted Xu Youning’s chin and forced her to look into his eyes. “Speak!”
Maybe because he was not used to being refused, Mu Sijue’s face was scarily gloomy, as if he could start a slaughter at any time.
Xu Youning swallowed and took a long time to make a sound. She said, “Give me a few days to think about it. I’ll give you an answer later.”
“What do you need to think about?” Mu Sijue’s voice was cold. “Xu Youning, have you ever thought about the child? Do you want to raise the child out of wedlock?”
The child…
Xu Youning clenched her fists tighter. She looked at Mu Sijue and begged. “Mu Sijue, give me a few days…”
“A week.” Mu Sijue said coldly, “I’ll go back to City G in a week. Even if you don’t want to, you have to go back with me.”
Xu Youning hesitated for a moment. “… Okay.”
Only a week later did Mu Sijue realize that Xu Youning’s hesitation was not as simple as it seemed.
The atmosphere suddenly became stiff, and Xu Youning had to change the subject. “You’d better let Mumu contact Kang Ruicheng and let Kang Ruicheng confirm Mumu’s safety. Otherwise, he will keep causing trouble for you.”
Mu Sijue sneered. “If he dares to cause trouble for me, I won’t let him go easily.”
Xu Youning was speechless.
She forgot that if Kang Ruicheng was not an easy person, Mu Sijue was more difficult to deal with.
When it was almost three o’clock, Mumu came down from upstairs. With tearful eyes, he clenched the index finger of his right hand with his left hand.
The more Xu Youning looked at him, the stranger she felt. She asked, “Mumu, what’s wrong with you?”
Mumu walked up to Xu Youning, covering his fingers and not daring to speak.
Xu Youning held his right hand. “You played on your own in the room after waking up and accidentally got hurt, didn’t you?”
Mumu put down his left hand and showed Xu Youning his swollen index finger. “I just played for a while and accidentally twisted it. It hurts.” Knowing that it was his own fault, he didn’t dare to cry.
Seeing the little boy’s pained expression, Xu Youning was reluctant to teach him a lesson. Moreover, the wound on his hand needed to be treated in the hospital.
Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue and said, “I want to take Mumu to the hospital. Ask someone to send me there.”
Mu Sijue took the car key and said, “I’ll drive you there.”
Mumu pursed his lips and ran over to pull Mu Sijue. “I don’t want an injection.”
Mu Sijue’s originally gloomy mood was mitigated a lot because of the little guy’s timid look.
He smiled and asked, “Are you afraid?”
“I’m a kid, and I can be afraid of getting an injection!” Mumu made a face at Mu Sijue and stuck his tongue out. “You need to be shy if you’re afraid of getting an injection!”
“…” Mu Sijue took Mumu’s hand and said, “Let’s go to the hospital!”
Being dragged away by Mu Sijue, Mumu protested. “You haven’t promised me yet. I don’t want an injection!”
Mu Sijue said, “I’m not a doctor. It’s not up to me.”
Mumu jumped up. “I don’t care! Anyway, you…”
Xu Youning listened to the conversation between Mu Sijue and Mumu. It was like Mu Sijue had become a father.
He might not become a gentle and thoughtful father, but he would become the best friend of the child.
It was enough for her to know that.
Mu Sijue drove Mumu to the private hospital.
The three of them got off the car. At the same time, Xiao Yunyun also got off a car. The four of them met face to face.
Xiao Yunyun had heard Su Jian’an talk about Xu Youning’s pregnancy. When she saw Mumu, she widened her eyes and said, “Boss Mu, it’s only been a few days since we last met, but Youning has given birth to a handsome boy for you, and he has even grown up?”
