It was unknown when Xu Youning got this habit. After she woke up every morning, she liked to stand on the balcony and look into the distance.

Perhaps it was because she still hoped to escape from the iron cage of the Kang family in the deepest part of her heart.

When she got on the balcony, Xu Youning just casually put on a cloak and felt the wind for a while. The coldness of early spring gradually spread into her body, and she felt that she should go back to her room.

She pushed open the glass door of the balcony and went back to her room.

Mumu had already woken up. He bent his tender legs and knelt on the bed, looking thoughtful. It seemed that he was not very happy.

Xu Youning walked over. She rubbed her cold hands, covered them on Mumu’s face, and asked softly, “Little guy, what’s the matter?”

Mumu felt cold from her touch, but he didn’t have much of a reaction. He just looked up at Xu Youning. After a while, he asked in a low voice, “Auntie Youning, is the New Year over?”

In a trance, Xu Youning understood why the little boy was not happy. She couldn’t help smiling and rubbing his face. “Are you unhappy because the New Year is over?”

Mumu nodded his little head while his black and soft hair swayed with his movements. “Yesterday was New Year’s Day, and I was very happy. If the New Year is over now, I won’t be happy.”

Xu Youning burst into laughter and said, “It’s not over yet.”

Mumu’s childish eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Xu Youning and said, “Really? How long will it be before it ends?”

“Really!” Xu Youning told the little boy with certainty, “There is still half a month before it is over. You can enjoy it slowly! Also, you can set off fireworks tonight!”

“Hurray!”

Mumu cheered and threw himself into Xu Youning’s arms. His laughter was crisp and happy, which sounded very cute.

Xu Youning took the little boy’s hand and said, “Let’s go to have breakfast.”

After Kang Ruicheng went out yesterday, she didn’t know when he would come back. When Xu Youning took Mumu downstairs, he was already sitting in the dining room.

Early in the morning, Kang Ruicheng’s expression was unexpectedly kind. He waved at Mumu and Xu Youning and said, “Come and have breakfast.”

Instead of running over happily, Mumu took a step back and held Xu Youning’s hands more tightly. He said in a childish voice, “Auntie Youning, Daddy looks weird today. Let’s be careful!”

Xu Youning looked down at the little boy and asked with a smile, “Are you scared when your daddy is like this?”

Mumu nodded honestly. “Very scared!”

“Well, don’t be scared!” Xu Youning patted the little boy’s head. “Your daddy is in a good mood today, that’s why he’s like this.”

Mumu made a face and walked over. He climbed onto the chair and sat upright. “Daddy, good morning.”

“Good morning.” Kang Ruicheng picked up the milk glass and poured some milk into the glass in front of Mumu. After thinking for a while, he said, “Drink it.”

Mumu blinked his eyes, picked up the glass, and gulped down the milk in one gulp.

Xu Youning felt that it was too much for the little boy, so she looked at Kang Ruicheng helplessly and said, “Can you not use your commanding tone to treat the kid?”

Kang Ruicheng frowned and didn’t know what he was wrong about. Instead, he asked, “Did my tone just now sound commanding?”

“It doesn’t sound commanding.” For the first time, Xu Youning had an impulse to complain about Kang Ruicheng. “You were totally ordering him!”

Kang Ruicheng felt a little uncomfortable and looked embarrassed. He said, “I’ll try my best to change that next time.”

“Hiccup.”

As soon as Kang Ruicheng finished speaking, Mumu burped.

Kang Ruicheng glanced at Mumu, and the little boy seemed to be frightened. He subconsciously covered his mouth and hid in Xu Youning’s direction. It was obvious that he was afraid of Kang Ruicheng.

Xu Youning pointed to Mumu and gestured to Kang Ruicheng. “See-”

Kang Ruicheng did not speak, and there was an embarrassed look on his face.

Halfway through their breakfast, Dongzi came in. Seeing Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning together, he held back the words that he was about to say and said instead, “Brother Cheng, I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Come here.” Kang Ruicheng’s voice was very calm. “If there’s anything, just say it.”

Because Xu Youning was there, Dongzi wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

There was a tacit understanding between Dongzi and Kang Ruicheng. They would avoid talking about something related to Mu Sijue while Xu Youning was around.

He suddenly didn’t stop saying the words he was about to say, which made Kang Ruicheng guess that it had something to do with Mu Sijue.

“However, he actually asked me to continue?

“Does it mean that we don’t have to avoid Xu Youning?”

Dongzi was still a little uncertain and said tentatively, “Brother Cheng, it has something to do with Mu Sijue…”

Kang Ruicheng said calmly without any hesitation, “Okay. Go ahead.”

Dongzi continued, “I just confirmed Mu Sijue’s injury.”

Kang Ruicheng glanced at Dongzi and asked after two seconds, “How is it?”

“It seems that Mu Sijue’s injury is not serious. He dealt with his business as usual this morning.” Dongzi lowered his head and said, “Brother Cheng, I’m sorry.”

“It’s not your fault.” Kang Ruicheng said, “As you said, it’s not so easy to hurt Mu Sijue.”

Dongzi breathed a sigh of relief. “Then… Brother Cheng, I’ll go out first.”

He turned around and left the dining room. Not long after he waited outside, Kang Ruicheng came out.

Kang Ruicheng’s expression was no longer as soft as it was when he was in the dining room. Instead, it became cold and stiff.

Dongzi went up to him and greeted him respectfully, “Brother Cheng!”

Kang Ruicheng’s face darkened, and his voice was as cold as ice. “Are you sure that Mu Sijue’s injury is not serious?”

Dongzi nodded. “Yes. Our men saw it with their own eyes.”

Kang Ruicheng narrowed his eyes and flipped over the potted plant with one hand. He then ordered coldly, “Let’s go!”

Dongzi hurried to catch up with Kang Ruicheng and asked, “Brother Cheng, from now on… can we mention Mu Sijue in front of Ms. Xu?”

“She does hate Mu Sijue to the core.” Kang Ruicheng said, “We don’t need to avoid her from now on.”

Dongzi replied with an “okay” and then asked, “Where are we going?”

“Isn’t Mu Sijue slightly hurt?” Kang Ruicheng sneered. “Next time, we’ll kill him!”

The implication was that they needed to find an opportunity to carry out the next operation.

Dongzi didn’t dare to say anything more, so he could only keep up with Kang Ruicheng.

When Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi left, Xu Youning and Mumu were still in the dining room.

Until he couldn’t see Kang Ruicheng’s figure, Mumu pulled Xu Youning’s hand and asked in a low voice, “Auntie Youning, is Uncle Mu injured?”

Xu Youning did not answer but asked, “Are you worried about Uncle Mu?”

Mumu hesitated for a moment and made an “a little” gesture with his fingers. He specifically emphasized, “I’m just a little worried!”

“I won’t admit that I’m worried about the bad uncle. Humph!”

Xu Youning had always been there while Mumu grew up, so she could naturally tell that the little boy was not telling the truth. She rubbed his head with a smile and said, “Uncle Dongzi just said that Uncle Mu’s injury was not serious. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about him. He will be fine soon.”

“Oh, really?” Mumu got up and stood on the stool. He leaned over and whispered in Xu Youning’s ear, “Then, you don’t need to worry about Uncle Mu as well!”

Xu Youning was stunned for a moment and then realized that the little guy just wanted to comfort her.

Yesterday, when she heard that Mu Sijue was injured, she was really worried and almost exposed herself in front of Kang Ruicheng.

Fortunately, she had an extraordinary self-consolation ability. She forcibly hid her worry and mercilessly told Kang Ruicheng that it was not enough for Mu Sijue to be injured. She wanted Mu Sijue dead.

From what had happened today, it seemed that she was quite good at her acting.

Otherwise, Kang Ruicheng wouldn’t let Dongzi mention Mu Sijue in front of her, and Mumu wouldn’t try to comfort her.

Xu Youning smiled at the little boy and said, “Okay. I’m not worried anymore.”

Mumu slid off the chair and said excitedly, “Let’s play the game!”

While Xu Youning and Mumu were fighting in the gaming world, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun, who were in their apartment in the city center far away, had just gotten up.

After they had done it over and over again last night, Xiao Yunyun felt like it was just like her first time. Her waist was sore and her back was in pain. She felt wrecked like a rusty machine.

More importantly, when she opened her eyes, she was still in Shen Yuechuan’s arms, struggling but unable to move.

Since he fell ill, she thought that Shen Yuechuan’s strength had been weakened a lot. But now it seemed that she was still too naive about that.

“Damn it!”

Xiao Yunyun held Shen Yuechuan’s face with both hands, rubbed it hard, and said angrily, “Stop pretending. I know you’re awake!”

Shen Yuechuan had indeed woken up. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yunyun lazily. “I didn’t expect you to wake up so soon!”

Xiao Yunyun knew what Shen Yuechuan meant.

Shen Yuechuan felt that after yesterday’s “battle”, she should at least sleep until noon.

“Well, I’m not that weak!”

Xiao Yunyun punched Shen Yuechuan’s chest. “Get up now!”

After the other people got married, they would go on a honeymoon.

Things were different for this couple. They needed to go back to the hospital after getting married.

However, before returning to the hospital, Xiao Yunyun still had one more thing to do.

She had to get Shen Yuechuan up as soon as possible so that she could carry out her top-secret plan.

Shen Yuechuan wrapped his arms around Xiao Yunyun tightly and said in a lazy voice, “I don’t want to get up.”

Xiao Yunyun thought for a moment and deliberately provoked Shen Yuechuan. “Humph, is it that you don’t want to, or you can’t get up?”

Shen Yuechuan heard the provocation in Xiao Yunyun’s tone. He slowly opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and looked at her. There was a lazy threat in his tone. “Yunyun, dare you to say it again?”

“You…” Xiao Yunyun gave up in the end. In the face of Shen Yuechuan’s fierce eyes, she immediately lost her confidence. She changed her words and said, “If you don’t want to get up… Don’t get up then… We can sleep for a while…”

“I just don’t want to get up.” Shen Yuechuan slowly held Xiao Yunyun down. “I want to do something else…”
