Xu Youning glanced at the retro clock on the wall, and the hands pointed to ten o'clock.

Mu Mu covered her mouth and yawned: "Why hasn't Daddy come back, I want to sleep." ”

Xu Youning put away the game equipment, "Don't wait for your daddy, let's sleep first." ”

The little ghost tilted his head listlessly, feeling that he couldn't hold it anymore, and nodded: "Okay." ”

He climbed into Xu Youning's arms, hugged Xu Youning's neck coquettishly, buried his head on Xu Youning's shoulder, and said in a milky voice: "Aunt Youning, I want to sleep with you." ”

"Don't you like sleeping alone?" Xu Youning asked.

"I don't like it!" The little ghost raised his head and looked at Xu Youning with sleepy eyes, "I'll be scared when I sleep alone." ”

"Huh?" Xu Youning looked at the little ghost suspiciously, "You also sleep alone in the United States, won't you be afraid?" ”

"Yes...... the little ghost lowered his head and pointed aggrievedly, "I told my aunt that I was afraid." But my aunt replied to me, and she couldn't help me. ”

Xu Youning suddenly relented.

After Mu Mu's mother died, Kang Ruicheng sent him to the United States and let him live alone in a villa, although there were bodyguards and nannies, but those people were just using Kang Ruicheng's money to do things for him.

No one really cares if Mu Mu is happy during the day and whether he is afraid at night.

At an age when she should be surrounded by love, Mu Mu has already experienced what loneliness is.

Xu Youning touched the little ghost's head, "I'll accompany you in the future." ”

She took Mu Mu back to the room, the little ghost kept holding her hand, she couldn't even change her pajamas, so she could only lie down with Mu Mu like this.

In the early hours of the morning, when Xu Youning was sleeping deeply, he suddenly noticed an abnormal noise, opened his eyes, and saw Kang Ruicheng sitting on the edge of the bed.

There were no lights on in the room, only the cold white light in the courtyard was cut into irregular shapes by the windows, and projected onto Kang Ruicheng, illuminating half of his face, while the other half was drowned in the night, like a sleeping beast, exuding a dangerous aura.

Xu Youning gasped, and before he could react, the beast in Kang Ruicheng's body woke up from its slumber - he lunged at her and pressed her to the bed.

"A-Ning......" Kang Ruicheng pressed Xu Youning hard, and the wine on his body floated into Xu Youning's breath, "I ......"

He seemed to be tempted to say something, but he stopped talking obscurely.

Xu Youning was furious, and subconsciously raised his hand-

"Smack!"

A slap landed Kang Ruicheng's face.

The dry and cold air instantly became stiff, and the people of Kangrui City were also more than half awake, looking at Xu Youning in disbelief.

What surprised him was not that Xu Youning dared to hit him, but Xu Youning's resistance, the kind of resistance that hit him from the heart and didn't want to be touched by him.

Sure enough, the death of his grandmother not long ago was just Xu Youning's excuse.

Xu Youning didn't want to accept him at all!

"Why!" Kang Ruicheng grabbed Xu Youning's collar suddenly, "A-Ning, why don't you want to?" Isn't it because of Mu Sijue, isn't it?! ”

"......" Xu Youning did not speak.

Just when Kang Ruicheng was about to get angry again, a small figure arched up from the other side of the bed, and looked at Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning puzzled: "Daddy, Aunt Youning, what are you doing?" ”

Kang Ruicheng didn't expect Mu Mu to be here, so he instantly let go of Xu Youning's collar and tried his best to hide the anger in his voice: "I'll talk to Aunt Youning about something, you go to sleep first." ”

"Oh." Mu Mu rubbed her eyes, "Aunt Youning, then I'll wait for you to come back." ”

"Okay."

Xu Youning pulled the quilt and wrapped the little guy, got out of bed and walked out of the room.

Kang Ruicheng felt annoyed for the first time, followed Xu Youning and walked out, closing the door with his hand.

At this time, Xu Youning turned around and made a backhand, and before the slap slapped Kang Ruicheng's face, he was intercepted halfway.

Kang Ruicheng gripped Xu Youning's wrist viciously: "Enough!" ”

Xu Youning used his strength to break free of Kang Ruicheng's clamps, and looked at him coldly: "You obviously promised me that you wouldn't force me to do anything until you settle Mu Sijue." However, you have tried me again and again, and now you have broken into my room in the middle of the night, are you trying to force me to move out? ”

"......," Kang Ruicheng looked at him in frustration, "I didn't know Mu Mu was in your room." ”

Xu Youning sneered: "Mu Mu is not in my room, can you break in like this?" ”

"Aning......" Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Youning deeply, something was floating in his eyes, "I ......"

"No more explanations!" Xu Youning interrupted Kang Ruicheng, emphasizing word by word, "This is the last time I will forgive you, if there is a next time, I will move out with Mu Mu!" ”

After speaking, she pushed Kang Ruicheng back to the room, locked the door with her hand, and leaned weakly against the door panel as if she had been drained.

It was only then that Xu Youning noticed that her back was chilling.

Just now, Kang Ruicheng's eyes looked at her, not only as simple as desire, but also ...... Affection.

Like her feelings for Mu Sijue.

This is ridiculous.

I don't know how long it has been, Xu Youning came back to his senses before he remembered Mu Mu.

She walked back to the bed and saw Mu Mu dozing off wrapped in the quilt, her little head little by little, and finally she couldn't support it, and the little guy even fell to the bed with the quilt.

This time, the little guy woke up, he looked at himself, he should have found that his sleeping position was a little strange, casually kicked the quilt, got into the quilt and adjusted a comfortable position, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

He didn't notice Xu Youning, and probably forgot that Xu Youning went out.

Xu Youning looked at Mu Mu, a frightened heart settled down a lot, she lay down and tucked the quilt for the little ghost.

Now, she can also use the excuse of anger to reject Kangrui City again and again.

However, if there are too many times, sooner or later it will arouse Kang Ruicheng's suspicions.

Taking advantage of the fact that Kang Ruicheng completely trusts her now, she can't delay any longer, collect the evidence of Kang Ruicheng's crimes as soon as possible, and end all this as soon as possible.

It's just that when everything is over, Mu Mu ......

Xu Youning hugged the little guy: "Mu Mu, I'm sorry." ”

Of course, Mu Mu didn't hear Xu Youning's words, unconsciously scratched his little face, leaned on Xu Youning, and slept until dawn.

The next day, Xu Youning opened his eyes, and at first glance, he saw Mu Mu sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed looking at her.

"Aunt Youning!" Seeing Xu Youning wake up, a smile bloomed on the little ghost's face, "Good morning!" ”

Xu Youning discovered that winter mornings can also be extraordinarily warm.

She kissed the little guy on the forehead: "Morning." ”

After washing, Xu Youning took the little guy downstairs and found that there was only breakfast for two people on the table, and looked at Ah Jin suspiciously.

"Brother Cheng went out early in the morning." Ah Jin said, "Auntie only prepared breakfast for you and Mu Mu. ”

Xu Youning hugged Mu Mu onto the chair: "Regardless of him, let's eat." ”

Mu Mu nodded, and said while drinking porridge: "Aunt Youning, after breakfast, let's continue to play games." ”

Xu Youning inadvertently caught a glimpse of a mobile phone corner exposed from the pocket of Ah Jin's coat, and said quietly: "I'll have something to do later, let Uncle Ah Jin play with you first, and I'll come down to accompany you when I'm done, okay?" ”

Although Mu Mu prefers Xu Youning, he is not repulsive to Ah Jin, and nodded: "Okay." ”

After breakfast, Xu Youning picked up Mu Mu and walked up to Ah Jin: "Excuse me, take him to play for a while." ”

"No problem." Ah Jin stretched out his hand to Mu Mu, "Come, uncle, hug." ”

Mu Mu hugged Ah Jin very obediently, Xu Youning let go of him, and when he put down his hand, two fingers clamped the corner of Ah Jin's mobile phone, and pulled it out quietly, and the mobile phone slid into her sleeve silently.

Xu Youning put his hands into the pockets of his coat without changing his face: "You guys, I'll go up." ”

Back in the room, Xu Youning locked the door, unlocked Ah Jin's mobile phone, and called up the dialing interface, only then did she remember that she didn't know Shen Yuechuan's number.

Shen Yuechuan's contact information is public, and if she checks it, she can find it completely.

However, she didn't have that much time.

She had to return the phone to Ah Jin before Ah Jin found out, otherwise Kang Ruicheng would quickly arouse suspicion when asked.

After weighing it, Xu Youning finally dialed Mu Sijue's phone.

That's right, she remembered Mu Sijue's number, word for word, and remembered it clearly.

After dialing, a dull "beep-" sound sounded in his hand, Xu Youning unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes, and his heartbeat gradually lost its frequency.

She had the most intimate contact with Mu Sijue, and she also had the most fierce quarrels and breaks, but the thought of hearing his voice was about to be heard, just hearing the voice, her heartbeat still accelerated uncontrollably.

That kind of mood, like a 17-year-old girl going to meet the boy in white who she has had a crush on for a long time.

In this life, she may never be able to escape the curse of Mu Sijue.

"Hello?"

Mu Sijue's low and cold voice came from the mobile phone, and it grabbed Xu Youning's soul in an instant, Xu Youning opened his mouth, but suddenly lost his language function and couldn't speak for a long time.

At this moment, Xu Youning realized that she was so unproductive—she just heard Mu Sijue's voice, and she actually felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Who?"

Mu Sijue has always been impatient, and his voice has already revealed displeasure.

Xu Youning took a deep breath, and only then did he stabilize his voice with the power of the desolation in his body: "It's me." ”

"......" After two seconds of silence, Mu Sijue's deep and sultry voice came, "Xu Youning? ”

"Yes, it's me." Xu Youning tried his best to make himself appear calm, "Mu Sijue, I have something to tell you, it has something to do with Yun Yun and Yue Chuan. ”

On the one hand, because of nervousness, on the other hand, because of nervousness, Xu Youning's palms were sweating in the cold winter, and she emphasized: "You listen to me carefully. ”

"Meet and talk." Mu Sijue interrupted Xu Youning willfully with three words.

Xu Youning was almost choked by his own words, and threw out a sentence angrily: "I don't want to see you!" ”

According to Mu Sijue's temper, he must not be able to stand such indifference, and next, he should order her to have something to say quickly.

However, this time, Xu Youning was wrong -

As if he didn't understand her, he said to himself, "I want to see you." ”
