Chapter 1257 Watching Xu Yuning Die
Kang Ruicheng had never seen Mu Mu sick before.
He admitted that his first reaction was one of utter panic.
He had promised Mu Mu’s mother that he would let Mu Mu grow up healthy and carefree and would not let Mu Mu get involved in his affairs.
Now, not only did he fail to keep the promise he made, he also failed to take care of Mu Mu.
He had already owed Mu’s while mother, causing her to leave this world in her best years, could it be that now, he still wanted to apologize to her?
Kang Ruicheng felt that there was something blocking his chest, for a while, he could not breathe, and his mind was messy.
Dongzi followed Kang Ruicheng in, seeing Mu Mu curled up on the bed like this, he was inevitably distressed, looking at Kang Ruicheng with difficulty, pondering what to say.
But before he could speak, Conrad City suddenly burst out–
“Where is Dr. He!” Kang Ruicheng looked angrily at the servant standing fearfully outside the door and roared, “Didn’t I explain that he should keep an eye on Mu Mu?”
The maid walked in and explained in a trembling voice, “Dr. He actually came, but, Mu Mu wouldn’t let him into the room ……”
“…… Tell him to come over within ten minutes!” Kang Ruicheng smashed his fist through Mu Mu’s nightstand with a “bang” and said through clenched teeth, “Otherwise, he’ll never have to come!”
Although Xiao Ning couldn’t catch Kang Ruicheng’s emotions, she had never seen Kang Ruicheng angry, and she realized that when Kang Ruicheng got angry, it was so scary.
She was a little scared, but deep down, she longed to be close to Kang Rui Cheng.
She struggled a bit, but walked into the room and stood next to Consuelo, trying to calm him down.
As it turned out, she still overestimated her position in Kang Ruicheng’s heart.
Before she had a chance to speak, Kang Ruicheng glanced at her and said coldly, “There’s nothing for you here, go back to your room and stay there.”
Ning cowered for a moment, but in the end she didn’t dare to say anything and obediently answered, “Good.”
Dongzi then followed Ning out, leaving only Kang Ruicheng in the room, and Mu Mu, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed.
Kang Ruicheng walked over to the bedside and looked at Mu Mu, “Everyone else has left, you can open your eyes now.”
Mu pouted her lips and reluctantly opened her eyes and looked at Kang Ruicheng.
Kang Ruicheng’s gaze was temperatureless, and his voice was cold as he warned, “Mu Mu, you’re hurting yourself.”
“I want to see Auntie Yuning.” Mu Mu didn’t even care what Kang Ruicheng said, gripping one corner of the pillow, her gaze so firm that it was almost stubborn, “Daddy, if I never see Auntie Yuning again, I’ll hate you!”
“Mu Mu, where is Xu Yuning her …… so good that she deserves you to rely on her so much?”
Kang Ruicheng looked at Mu Mu, his gaze filled with incomprehension.
At this moment, he didn’t know if he was asking himself or Mu Mu.
However, this wasn’t a problem for Mu Mu at all.
The little guy blinked his eyes, looked at Kang Ruicheng fixedly, and said seriously, “I haven’t seen my mommy, but, I think Auntie Yuning is even better than my mommy.” After a pause, he continued, “If I can, I hope to live with Auntie Yuning forever.”
“……”
Kang Ruicheng has never thought of living with Xu Yuning forever, but ……
Kang Ruicheng didn’t think any further, his hands quietly clenched, gritting his teeth, “You don’t need to think any further, Xu Yuning doesn’t have this kind of idea at all! She only wants to return to Mu Siju’s side, she doesn’t want to accompany you at all!”
He wanted to convince Mu Mu not to have any more illusions about Xu Yuning.
But Mu’s thoughts were on a completely different track-
“If going back to Uncle Mu can make Auntie Yuning happy ……,” Mu didn’t hesitate, “I can let her go back, I can not live with her!”
Kang Ruicheng frowned and couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”
When you like something, you have to buy it back or find a way to take it for yourself.
Isn’t it the same when you like someone?
If the one he liked wasn’t by his side, but was tossing and turning under another, even if she was happy, what did it mean to him?
Mu Mu didn’t answer Kang Ruicheng’s question and spoke in a tone that became very disappointed, “Daddy, you don’t know how to love someone at all.”
“…… “Kang Ruicheng looked at Mu Mu with an obscure gaze, but ultimately said nothing.
Mu Mu was relaxed and continued as if nothing had happened, “I want to see Auntie Yuning, if you don’t promise me, I won’t eat even if I starve to death!”
Kang Ruicheng had wanted to convince Mu Mu to forget about Xu Yuning, but Mu Mu had circled back to the topic in a few words.
Kang Ruicheng had a bit of a headache, but he didn’t know how to respond.
Just then, Dr. Ho arrived.
Dr. He knew that Mu Mu might need him at any moment, so he didn’t go far and kept hanging around.
As soon as Mu Mu saw Dr. He, she immediately got under the covers and protested loudly, “I don’t want an injection, I want to see Auntie Yuning, I want Auntie Yuning!”
Dr. He looked at Kang Ruicheng with difficulty, “What should we do?”
Kang Ruicheng frowned and walked over to the bedside and directly pressed down on Mu Mu to prevent him from moving, turning back to order Dr. He, “Give him a nutritional injection!”
“I don’t want it!” Mu cried, struggling up, “Let go of me, let go of me!”
Kang Rui had been ruthless, no matter how much Mu Mu struggled and cried, he didn’t let go of Mu Mu while ordering Dr. He, “Hurry up!”
Mu Mu had an idea, bit on Kang Ruicheng’s arm, Kang Ruicheng let go of him in pain, he naturally broke free smoothly, tumbled down from the bed, and ran into the bathroom to unlock the door in a puff of smoke.
His movements were too fast for Kang Ruicheng to react.
In the end, Kang Ruicheng couldn’t even care about the teeth marks on his hands and angrily walked over and knocked on the door, “Mu Mu, open the door!”
Mu Mu crossed her arms inside the bathroom with an equally forceful air, “I don’t want it!”
Kang Ruicheng’s patience was wearing thin and knocked twice more, threatening, “Don’t think that there’s nothing I can do if you lock the door behind you!”
“Don’t think that just because you can open the door, there’s nothing I can do!” Mu dragged over a shelf to block the door and ran to the window herself, stepping on the bathtub to climb up to the window, “If you dare to come in I’ll jump off!”
Dongzi was downstairs in the courtyard, just in time to see Mu Mu poking his head out, startled, and hurriedly shouted, “Mu Mu, don’t!”
The other henchmen also saw Mu Mu, and for a while, those who went to move things moved things, while others came over and pulled their hands into a net, ready to catch Mu Mu.
Dongzi ran up to the second floor like a gust of wind, not being able to catch his breath, directly pulling Kang Ruicheng who was ready to kick the door: “Brother Cheng, Mu Mu is above the window, don’t be impulsive!”
Kang Ruicheng’s movements lurched, and only then did he realize that there was really nothing he could do with Mu Mu.
Dongzi knocked on the door and tried to persuade Mu Mu, “Mu Mu, don’t hurt yourself. If you have any problems, come out and talk to your daddy face to face, okay?”
“I don’t have a problem, I’m just looking for Auntie Yuning!” Mu said, “If you guys promise me, I’ll go out!”
“…… “Dongzi really had no choice and looked at Kang Ruicheng, “Brother Cheng ……”
Kang Ruicheng remembered Mu Mu’s words just now – if Mu Mu could never see Xu Yuning again, he would hate him.
This child held too many expectations for Xu Yuning.
Kang Ruicheng felt that what he should do now was not to stop Mu Mu from seeing Xu Yuning, but to pinch off Mu Mu’s expectations of Xu Yuning.
If he watched Xu Yuning die with his own eyes, in the future, Mu wouldn’t be able to hold onto Xu You, right?
Kang Ruicheng raised his eyes and said to Mu Mu inside the door, “I promise to send you to see Auntie Yuning.”
Dongzi looked at Kang Ruicheng unexpectedly, “Brother Cheng?” This decision, it’s a bit hasty!
Mu Si was looking for Xu Yuning’s location, if they sent Mu Mu over at this time, if Mu Si Jiu found out, it would be tantamount to guiding Mu Si to find Xu Yuning.
Kang Ruicheng was a cautious man, there was no way he would allow this to happen.
Dongzi wanted to say something, but before he could, Kang Ruicheng raised his hand, signaling that he didn’t need to say anything.
Kang Ruicheng continued to coax Mu Mu inside the bathroom, “I’m true to my word, others can prove it for you, can you come out now?”
Mu slid down from the window and opened a crack in the door to look at Kang Ruicheng, “Are you telling the truth?”
Kang Ruicheng nodded, “Of course it’s true. However, you have to go down to eat first.”
Mu Mu obviously had little trust in Kang Ruicheng and stared at him suspiciously, “What if you’re lying to me?”
“Where did you get so many questions?” Kang Ruicheng frowned unhappily and looked at Mu Mu, “Say any more and I’ll change my mind immediately.”
“……”
Regardless of whether Kang Ruicheng was lying or not, this was an opportunity for Mu Mu, and there was at least a fifty percent chance that he could meet Xu Yuning.
Mu was willing to gamble once.
The little fellow immediately pulled open the door and ran out, moving a little hastily, so that only after two steps he went black before his eyes, and his little body just collapsed on the floor.
“Mu Mu!” Kang Ruicheng reacted quickly and immediately picked Mu Mu up, looked to Uncle He and yelled, “What are you waiting for, come and take a look!”
“Should have fainted from lack of stamina.” Uncle He walked over and lifted the covers, “Put him on the bed|first.”
With this dizziness, Mu slept for more than two hours before waking up, and it was already almost dark.
Someone had fed him water, his lips weren’t so dry and happy anymore, and with a needle in his hand, nutrient solution was being infused into him a little at a time.
Kang Ruicheng had been sitting by the bedside to keep watch, and when he saw Mu Mu open his eyes, he immediately called for the porridge to be brought over and had it fed to Mu Mu.
Mu Mu just took a sip of water, pushed away the porridge that had been brought to his lips, and looked at Kang Ruicheng and asked, “Daddy, do the words you just said still count?”
“……”
Kang Ruicheng’s mood was a little complicated.
He finally realized just how much Mu didn’t trust him.
No matter how successful he was in other areas, he undoubtedly failed as a father.
But it was no wonder, perhaps, that he had never been a proper father.
Otherwise, Mu Mu wouldn’t have relied on Xu Yuning so much but refused to give him half of her trust.
