Chapter 1047 - He Will Grow up and Become a Troublesome Person
Chapter 1047 He Will Grow up and Become a Troublesome Person
Ah Jin believed that Mumu’s bloodline would affect him for the rest of his life.
As Kang Ruicheng’s son, the little boy was destined not to have a warm and happy childhood.
Now, Ah Jin only hoped that Mumu could remain that pure-minded forever.
Mumu was a very smart child. When he grew up, it would be a pity if he was trained to be a killing weapon by Kang Ruicheng. Also, the boy would become a very troublesome existence.
The other solution was that they get rid of Kang Ruicheng as soon as possible and completely destroy the Kang family.
As long as Kang Ruicheng’s forces were destroyed, he would not be able to groom Mumu.
However, Mumu would then become an orphan.
At that time, Mumu would not only lose his warm and happy childhood, but he would even lose his home.
Ah Jin suddenly felt that even though Mumu was always smiling, he was destined to travel a tragic route on his path of growth since he was born.
Mumu had never done anything wrong, but he had to put up with it because of Kang Ruicheng.
It was unfair to Mumu.
However, there was no negotiating with fate.
Ah Jin could not help letting out a regretful sigh.
Xu Youning had to pretend to be indifferent to Ah Jin. Mumu kept jumping forward, and neither of them noticed Ah Jin’s unusual behavior.

Mumu jumped about like a little monkey, pulled Ah Jin’s sleeve, and asked politely, “Uncle Ah Jin, can you help us get some water?”
“No problem!”
Ah Jin went to fill the watering can with water, then turned back and handed it to Xu Youning.
Xu Youning took the heavy can, and began to water the flowers while saying in a seemingly casual and low voice, “Thank you for what you did in the study last time.”
“You’re welcome.” Ah Jin stood upright at the side, as if he were just guarding Mumu and Xu Youning. He said calmly, “After Seventh Brother told me why you went back to the Kang family, I promised him that I would definitely look out for you.”
“Seventh Brother…”
Ever since she returned to the Kang family, Xu Youning had never heard anyone address Mu Sijue in that way. She missed hearing that form of address, and at the same time, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Ah Jin.
It seemed to be human nature to be attached to people and things related to the person they loved deeply.
Xu Youning continued to water the vegetable seedlings, while asking Ah Jin, “Do you have any way to contact Mu Sijue now?”
“Yes, but Kang Ruicheng seems to be suspicious of me now. I dare not act rashly.” After that, Ah Jin suddenly realized something and glanced at Xu Youning. “Did you discover something?”
Xu Youning hesitated.
If she told Ah Jin about what she had found out, Ah Jin would definitely find a way to tell Mu Sijue in order to ensure Mu Sijue’s safety. It meant that Ah Jin had to take a risk to do that.
However, if she did not reveal it, she did not know whether Mu Sijue and Lu Boyan had taken adequate security measures for Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun’s wedding day.
Ah Jin saw Xu Youning’s hesitation and took the initiative to say, “Tell me. I’ll make sure that I’m safe before deciding whether to tell Seventh Brother about it.”
After hearing Ah Jin’s words, Xu Youning was relieved and told Ah Jin honestly, “Tell Seventh Brother that Kang Ruicheng will take action on the day of Yuechuan and Yunyun’s wedding, but he is not going to ruin the wedding, but will be targeting him instead. Tell Seventh Brother to be on his guard.”
Ah Jin did not expect that Kang Ruicheng had set his sights on Mu Sijue. He looked rather solemn and replied, “I see.”
“Okay.” Xu Youning did not forget to remind Ah Jin, “Anyway, you must ensure your own safety first.”
Xu Youning knew Mu Sijue well.
The biggest difference between Mu Sijue and Kang Ruicheng was that Kang Ruicheng regarded his men’s lives as dirt, while Mu Sijue wanted to protect all his men from harm.
Kang Ruicheng was already suspicious of Ah Jin. In this case, Mu Sijue would not think that Ah Jin would take the risk to tell him the news.
Once Kang Ruicheng suspected that something was wrong, Ah Jin would be in danger…
Ah Jin had started working undercover around Kang Ruicheng from early days. Over the years, he had been working alone. Every day before he fell asleep, he would be glad that he had gotten through that day safely. But soon, he had to worry about whether he could get through the next day safely and whether he would be exposed.
In the past, among the few who knew his actual identity, only Mu Sijue would care about him and remind him to be careful.
Xu Youning was the second person to care about him.
With that thought in his mind, Ah Jin felt a warmth in his heart.
After a while, he raised his head and smiled. “Miss Xu, you and Seventh Brother are really a good match.”
Xu Youning was stunned and could not help asking curiously, “Why do you say that?”
Ah Jin did not reveal the reason. He just said meaningfully, “Because you both have the same traits.”
“…” Xu Youning could not understand the gist of Ah Jin’s words nor could she figure out what traits she shared with Mu Sijue were, so she remained silent.
Without waiting for Xu Youning’s response, Ah Jin looked around and said, “I should go.”
He had been standing with Xu Youning for too long, which would attract the attention of others’. Once Kang Ruicheng knew about it, he would inevitably be more suspicious of them.
Xu Youning replied with a “hmm” and continued watering the flowers as if she and Ah Jin had just talked about some trivial matters.
As soon as Ah Jin left, Mumu, who was squatting nearby and pulling out weeds, hopped over to her side.
Xu Youning knew that the little boy must have overheard their conversation. She touched his head and asked, “How much do you understand?”
“Uh!” Mumu blinked and looked extremely cute with his furrowed eyebrows. “I heard you say that Sister Yunyun is going to marry Brother Yuechuan!”
“Uh-huh.” Xu Youning nodded. “They are getting married soon. Are you happy?”
Mumu nodded repeatedly. “Yes! I want to attend their wedding!” After a pause, the little boy smiled forlornly. “But Daddy won’t let us go, will he?”
The little boy was right. Kang Ruicheng would indeed not let them attend Shen Yuechuan and Yunyun’s wedding.
Moreover, Xu Youning could not do anything about it, and she could only stroke the little boy’s head to comfort him.
Mumu’s expression became increasingly complicated. He looked up at Xu Youning and asked, “Auntie Youning, did you just say that Daddy will ruin Sister Yunyun’s wedding?”
Xu Youning guessed Mumu had overheard it. She squatted down and looked at him with a smile. “Don’t worry. Your daddy has promised me that he won’t ruin Sister Yunyun’s wedding.”
Mumu blinked and asked, “Then what exactly is Daddy going to do?”
Xu Youning shook her head. “I don’t know either.”
Mumu tilted his head and thought for a moment. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Xu Youning seriously. “No matter what Daddy wants to do, I’m not worried!”
Xu Youning could not understand the little boy’s words. She smiled helplessly and said, “Weren’t you worried just now?”
“Well, I suddenly remembered that Uncle Mu is very powerful,” Mumu said as he lowered his voice, “so I believe that Uncle Mu will have a way.”
Xu Youning knew why Mumu lowered his voice.
The little boy did not want Mu Sijue to be hurt, but Kang Ruicheng was his father, so he also did not want Mu Sijue to deal with Kang Ruicheng and hurt him.
The balance in his heart could not be reached.
Xu Youning was sad and suddenly felt endless pity for Mumu.
Mumu was just a five-year-old child. He should not be thinking about these things at his age.
Xu Youning touched the little boy’s head and said softly, “Mumu, leave these things to the adults; you just grow up happily, OK?”
In fact, Xu Youning knew better than anyone that it was impossible for Mumu to grow up happily.
Kang Ruicheng’s background was too dangerous and complicated and Mumu was too smart. He should not have understood and had all these thoughts at such a young age.
It was impossible for a child with something on his mind to grow up without worries.
Although it was impossible, Mumu still nodded obediently and said with a cute smile, “Okay.”
Xu Youning touched the little boy’s head and reached out to him. “Let’s go back.”
Mumu took Xu Youning’s hand and followed her back.
Back in the house, Xu Youning checked the calendar. There was still a week before the Spring Festival.
During this week, Ah Jin might be able to find a way to tell Mu Sijue that Kang Ruicheng would take action on the day of Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun’s wedding.
Or perhaps, she could find a way to get Fang Heng here.
As long as she told Fang Heng the news, it should be easier for Fang Heng to relay the news to Mu Sijue.
However, she also had to be careful with her play-acting.
When Xu Youning and Mumu returned to the living room, Ah Jin was also sitting on the sofa, probably waiting for Kang Ruicheng to come back.
Mumu could not ask Xu Youning to play games with him, so he fixed his eyes on Ah Jin.
The little boy immediately ran to Ah Jin, and looked at him expectantly.
Ah Jin already understood the little boy’s intention. “Okay,” he said, “I can play games with you.”
Mumu’s eyes lit up and he could not help cheering, “Oh yeah!”
Looking at Mumu’s excited look, Xu Youning felt happy for the little boy, but was upset at the same time.
In the past, she had been the one who played games with Mumu.
But now, it seemed that anyone could replace her.
When Kang Ruicheng came back, Mumu was playing games as expected.
But the person playing games with him this time was Ah Jin.
Xu Youning had been sitting on the sofa. She was the first to notice that Kang Ruicheng was back. She reminded Ah Jin, “Brother Cheng is back.”
Ah Jin finally used his ultimate skill to completely destroy the enemy and helped Mumu obtain a lot of experience, which led to a sharp increase in the level for the little boy’s rank.
Mumu could not help shouting, “Uncle Ah Jin, you’re amazing! You’re even more amazing than Auntie Youning!”
This time, Xu Youning had to admit that she was jealous.
In the past, Mumu would only shout excitedly, “Auntie Youning is so amazing!”
In less than an hour, Ah Jin had become the most powerful person in the little boy’s eyes.
How about she have a one-on-one game with Ah Jin?
Mumu looked at Ah Jin expectantly as if he knew what Xu Youning was thinking. “Uncle Ah Jin, please ignore my daddy and have a one-on-one game with Auntie Youning, okay?”
