Chapter 995 Please Help Me Protect Her

Last time, he only heard the child crying but could not see the face clearly.

He once thought that the child refused to forgive him because he didn’t protect his child well.

But this time, the child’s appearance was clearly presented.

He looked almost the same as Mu Sijue, especially the eyes which were crystal clear and pure as if they could talk. And his mouth was like Xu Youning’s.

Mu Sijue had once apologized to the child—he once thought that the child could never come to this world because of his carelessness.

Now he still needed to apologize to the child though he could be born.

If he hadn’t misunderstood Xu Youning, Xu Youning and his child wouldn’t have been in danger. They would have stayed with him in the warm haven that he built instead of wandering at other places.

If something happened to Xu Youning and the baby, he would be the one who didn’t deserve to be forgiven.

“Dad...”

In the dream, the little fellow suddenly called Mu Sijue.

It was the most beautiful word to Mu Sijue. He felt his heart was tightened and at the same time, hit by something.

He moved his lips, trying to respond to the child who, however, suddenly disappeared from his sight before he spoke.

He reached out his hand, eager to grab something, but only to catch some air.

Mu Sijue was completely panic—

Would he no longer be able to catch Xu Youning and their child?

The thought sent a chill all over his body. Cold sweat broke out from every pore on his body. He suddenly opened his eyes and found it was still early in the morning judging from the sky that just began to lighten.

He slept for less than three hours.

No matter how little he had slept, Mu Sijue couldn’t fall asleep at all. He lifted the quilt and got up, then lit a cigarette in the balcony, calling Ah Jin.

“Seventh Brother?” Ah Jin answered the phone in astonishment, “why do you call me all of a sudden?”

In fact, even though Mu Sijue had not told him yet, Ah Jin already had a feeling that Mu Sijue contacted him because of Xu Youning.

Mu Sijue answered after a long time, “Pay close attention to Xu Youning in the following days. If necessary, you can tell her your identity. If she doesn’t believe you, just tell her that Doctor Liu is under our protection.” His voice is low and feeble, drifting away like smoke.

Ah Jin was stunned for a long time. He asked in confusion, “Seventh Brother, I could hear your words, but I don’t understand why did you ask me to do this?”

“I don’t have time to explain all the details,” Mu Sijue’s voice was faint, but his tone was imperative, “you just need to know that Xu Youning is on our side. She didn’t betray me or kill my child.”

Ah Jin thought for seconds and soon understood. He stammered, “Seventh Brother, do you mean that Ms. Xu knows her grandmother was killed by Kang Ruicheng? Did she come back to Kang Ruicheng for revenge?”

“Yes.” Mu Sijue paused for a moment and then continued, “Ah Jin, I need you to protect her.”

Ah Jin thought to himself that he was entrusted with a task at a critical and difficult moment.

What an honorable and glorious mission!

“Yes, sir!” Ah Jin vowed as if he had received a national-level mission, “don’t worry, Seventh Brother. I will definitely keep Ms. Xu safe, even at the cost of my life!”

Mu Sijue continued, “By the way, I need you to keep an eye on another thing.”

“No problem, Seventh Brother!” Ah Jin responded in high aspiration as if his instinct of fight was awakened.

Mu Sijue paused for half a second and then said with his voice unconsciously lowered, “Xu Youning is sick and Kang Ruicheng will find doctors for her. But Kang Ruicheng doesn’t know her child is still alive, so we must stop the doctors from seeing Youning.”

Ah Jin was clever. Before Mu Sijue finished his words, he already knew what Mu Sijue needed him to do. “Seventh Brother, do you want me to investigate who are those doctors?” he replied.

“Yes,” Mu Sijue said, “can you do that?”

“Just leave it to me. It’s a piece of cake!” Ah Jin vowed again, “I will definitely seek them out!”

Lu Boyan would also investigate those doctors, but no one could guarantee that there would not be any accidents. So he asked Ah Jin to take part in it. Maybe Ah Jin could find the answer faster.

Mu Sijue nodded and said, “Be careful.”

He hung up the phone and looked up at the sky, finding it was much lighter.

Would the future of Xu Youning and him be light as the day and full of sunshine?

After washing up, Mu Sijue left the apartment immediately without having breakfast.

What waited for him was a tough battle that he could only win. Before Xu Youning came back, he couldn’t waste a second or ignore anything.

If he lost, he would probably have no courage to live on.

While Mu Sijue was as busy as a bee, Xu Youning who was at the house of the Kang family didn’t know anything, including that Mu Sijue had concluded all the things she had hidden.

After a night’s rest, Xu Youning was finally as vital as before. When she opened her eyes, she felt the beauty of the world again.

But she didn’t know how long she could enjoy such a wonderful world.

What a pity.

Mumu waved his hand in front of Xu Youning, saying, “Auntie Youning, are you awake?” He was pleasantly surprised with his innocent and lovely face getting close to Xu Youning.

Xu Youning nodded smilingly and said, “Yes!”

“Will you get up?” Mumu said in a soft voice sounding as if it could penetrate into people’s hearts, “the sun is very warm today!”

Xu Youning turned to look out of the window. As Mumu had said, the sun was shining brightly outside and the ground in front of the window was reflecting gold, tempting people to stand under the sun.

She smiled and held Mumu’s hand, saying, “I want to get up now.”

“Yes!” Mumu jumped up excitedly and pulled Xu Youning up with all his strength, “quick, let’s bask in the sun.”

They played outside for a while and Kang Ruicheng came back with an obvious smile on his face. He went straight to Xu Youning and held her in his arms. His strength was so great that Xu Youning was almost pasted together with him.

Mumu was so stupefied that he suddenly stopped blowing bubbles and looked at Kang Ruicheng in astonishment.

Xu Youning was also surprised and couldn’t react for a long time. “What’s wrong? What happened?” she couldn’t even speak smoothly.

“A Ning,” Kang Ruicheng was excited, “I found the doctors for you!”

Mumu, eyes widened, soon reacted. He rushed over and hugged Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning, shouting, “Daddy, you’re amazing. I love you! Auntie Youning, did you hear that? Daddy found the doctors for you!”

The little guy didn’t know that Xu Youning didn’t want Kang Ruicheng to find doctors so soon.

The earlier he found the doctors, the less time she would have...

Mumu just felt that Xu Youning could get better once the doctors came, which was the happiest thing for him.

Thanks to Mumu’s excitement, Xu Youning realized that she should give Kang Ruicheng a warm response.

She slowly embraced Kang Ruicheng and tried to relax. “Thank you,” she said.

Kang Ruicheng just received the call from Kang Jintian when he entered the house. Like Mumu, he was still wrapped in super surprise and naturally did not notice that there was no obvious happiness in Xu Youning’s voice

He hugged Mumu in his arms too, and his voice was still full of excitement. “A Ning, I’m sure you will be better.”

“Me too,” Xu Youning nodded and said more pleasantly. She quietly sounded Kang Ruicheng out, “I will cooperate with the doctors. By the way, when will they arrive? How many doctors are there?”

“Three. They will be here the day after tomorrow,” Kang Ruicheng released Xu Youning and replied with an obvious smile on his face, “they are from the country A and country S. All top brain surgeons. My uncle has already told them about your condition. They said it may not be that bad.”

Xu Youning maintained a happy smile, but her mind was full of the words “the day after tomorrow”.

She only had two days left. It was not good news for her.

For a moment, Xu Youning felt there was a heavy stone on her heart — so heavy that she couldn’t breathe.

But she had to be excited at this time.

Kang Ruicheng kissed Xu Youning’s forehead and said, “I have something to do. Stay at home with Mumu. Don’t think too much, okay?”

“Okay,” Xu Youning nodded, “go ahead.”

After Kang Ruicheng left, Mumu ran towards Xu Youning and got into her arms like a pet bear. He rubbed against her body childishly and said, “Auntie Youning, you will be better, won’t you?”

Xu Youning patted the little guy’s head and responded, “I will try my best.”

Mumu left Xu Youning’s arms. He thought for a short while and tilted his head, saying, “I’ll cheer you on!”

Xu Youning kissed the little fellow’s face and said, “I’m a little hungry. Let’s have breakfast.”

After breakfast, Mumu wanted to play football. Xu Youning asked a subordinate to accompany him on the excuse of not feeling well. Actually, she sneaked into Kang Ruicheng’s study room.

Kang Ruicheng was a very cautious person. But when he was at home, he would deal with businesses in the study. Therefore, she could still find a lot of his secrets here. But she should be extremely careful.

What Xu Youning didn’t know was that Ah Jin had noticed her action.

Ah Jin remembered Mu Sijue’s words and guessed what Xu Youning was going to do. He quietly covered her outside.

Ah Jin felt inexplicably proud of himself.

He was doing it not only for Mu Sijue’s happy future but also for the next generation of Mu Sijue!

Who else could be greater than him!
