Chapter 1026: Mist Disperses; Truth Reveals (4)

Kang Ruicheng had never openly acknowledged his relationship with Xu Youning to anyone.

However, as Xu Youning had been living in Kang Ruicheng’s house and Mumu was dependent on her, Kang Ruicheng’s subordinates had already reached a conclusion that Xu Youning would become Mumu’s stepmother one day.

Apart from Kang Ruicheng, Xu Youning was the most influential person in the Kang family.

Even Dongzi had to obey her orders.

But this time, Dongzi didn’t want to send Fang Heng back as Xu Youning had ordered.

Fang Heng infuriated Dongzi so much that Dongzi had an almost overwhelming desire to tear him apart. How could he just send him away?

However, Fang Heng couldn’t stay any longer.

Xu Youning thought for a moment and discreetly gave Mumu a look.

The smart Mumu immediately took the hint. He walked up to Fang Heng, looked at him and said, “Sir, I’ll send you out.”

Fang Heng treated Mumu in a completely different manner. He squatted down, looked at Mumu and responded in an extremely gentle voice, “Wow, thank you.”

“My pleasure!”

Mumu flashed him a cute and angelic grin.

He scampered in front of Fang Heng and escorted him out.

The driver had been waiting at the door. Seeing Fang Heng coming out, he got out of the car, opened the door, and gestured to Fang Heng to get in.

Fang Heng bent over, touched Mumu’s head and said, “Goodbye, kiddie.”

“Goodbye, uncle,” Mumu responded, waving at Fang Heng.

When Fang Heng got into the car, Mumu quickly ran back and headed straight upstairs.

Dongzi was still standing at the door of Xu Youning’s room. When Mumu ran up, he was asking, “Ms. Xu, how do you feel now?”

“Much better,” Xu Youning said as her face regained some color.

Outwardly, Xu Youning had indeed recovered a little.

Even if Dongzi didn’t believe Xu Youning, he would believe his own eyes.

He nodded and said, “Then take a good rest. I’ll tell Brother Cheng so he will not worry.”

Xu Youning didn’t say anything. She reached out to Mumu and said, “Come in. It’s time for bed.”

“Okay!”

Mumu took Xu Youning’s hand and followed her back to the room. Xu Youning locked the door when they went in.

After a while, when she was sure that Dongzi had left, she asked in a low voice, “Mumu, did the doctor go back?”

“Yes, I saw him getting into the car!” Mumu then asked curiously after a pause, “Auntie Youning, does the doctor know Uncle Mu?”

Xu Youning thought for a while and subconsciously smiled. “Uncle Mu and the doctor should be good friends.”

“I cannot help smiling whenever anyone talks about you.”

“Wow!” Mumu said excitedly, “so the doctor will help you, won’t he?”

“Of course.” Xu Youning patted the little fellow’s head and gave him a reassuring smile. “He came here to help me this time.”

Mumu’s face cracked into a smile. He hugged Xu Youning and said in a firm voice, “Auntie Youning, I will help you, too.”

Xu Youning didn’t say anything, but her eyes were already wet.

As a five-year-old boy, Mumu could not distinguish between good and evil yet.

He just vaguely knew that if Xu Youning stayed with Kang Ruicheng, she would not be safe at all.

Therefore, he hoped that Xu Youning could return to Mu Sijue so that she could live the rest of her life peacefully under Mu Sijue’s protection.

Xu Youning looked at Mumu gently and said in a soft voice, “Well, go to take a shower and then sleep.”

“I’ll go by myself!” Mumu looked like a little man. “I can bathe myself. You can go and rest!”

Although the little fellow was young, he had his own ideas. Xu Youning knew that she couldn’t convince Mumu, so she handed him his pajamas and said, “Sure, you can do it by yourself.”

Mumu took the pajamas and ran into the bathroom. After a while, his singing and the sound of water could be heard.

Xu Youning tucked herself under the quilt and when she thought about it, it seemed that Mumu had rarely been so happy since she came back this time.

If she left, would the little fellow still be so happy?

The answer was obvious, but Xu Youning dared not face the truth directly.

At this moment, Xu Youning was glad that Mumu was still young and still had a long life ahead of him.

He would be sad for some time after she left, but he would not be sad forever.

When he grew up, he would have his own life.

By that time, she should not be alive anymore and Mumu should no longer remember her.

In that light, it would be a good ending.

Soon, Mumu ran out in his pajamas with his hair still wet. He looked super cute.

Xu Youning helped him dry his hair. After that, he got into bed and snuggled up to Xu Youning and soon fell asleep.

When Kang Ruicheng came back, Xu Youning and Mumu had already gone off to dreamland.

He didn’t enter the room but just looked at them from the door. A while later, he took Dongzi into the study.

Kang Ruicheng looked sullen but did not show any emotion outwardly. Dongzi had to brace himself and observed Kang Ruicheng carefully.

After a long time, Kang Ruicheng slowly said, “How did A Ning feel when the doctor left?”

“Ms. Xu said she was much better,” Dongzi answered. He hesitated for a second and added angrily, “But it had nothing to do with the doctor! Brother Cheng, I think that doctor is not professional at all!”

Kang Ruicheng glanced at Dongzi and asked unhurriedly, “What’s your reason for saying that?”

Dongzi repeated what Fang Heng had just said and then said, “Brother Cheng, how can you ask such an undisciplined doctor to be Ms. Xu’s attending doctor?”

Kang Ruicheng did not respond to Dongzi immediately. Instead, he was lost in thought.

He had conducted a comprehensive investigation and chose the best doctor to be Xu Youning’s attending doctor.

Did he make a wrong choice?

When he was doubting his decision, his cell phone rang, showing “attending doctor” on the screen.

He picked up the phone and heard the voice of Fang Heng, “Good evening, Mr. Kang.”

Judging from his voice, he was professional and steady as a doctor should be instead of being as frivolous and casual as Dongzi had said.

Kang Ruicheng probed, “What’s wrong, doctor?”

“Your subordinates misunderstood me. I think I should give you an explanation,” Fang Heng answered. He continued after a pause, “Ms. Xu’s discomfort came suddenly and I could do nothing about it. However, I will try my best to reduce the frequency of her paroxysms. I will use medication to help make her feel better in the future.”

“Okay,” Kang Ruicheng said, “I’m counting on you.”

“I’ll do my best.” Fang Heng was neither humble nor pushy, and his voice revealed his confidence. “Mr. Kang, I won’t disturb you, then.”

Kang Ruicheng hung up the phone and looked at Dongzi, saying, “You’re overreacting. We can trust this doctor.”

Dongzi blurted out anxiously and subconsciously, “Brother Cheng, have you investigated this doctor thoroughly?” After that, he suddenly realized that he was questioning Kang Ruicheng. He lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant.”

“I know you’re worried about A Ning.” Kang Ruicheng raised his hand, motioning for Dongzi not to be nervous. “Actually, I thought of it, too. I investigated this doctor. There’s nothing suspicious about him. You should focus on something else.”

Dongzi was unwilling to give up. But he had no evidence, so he could only listen to Kang Ruicheng. “I see,” he said.

“Good.” Kang Ruicheng lit a cigarette and sent Dongzi away. “It’s late. You can go back.”

Dongzi left Kang Ruicheng’s house and drove home.

At the same time, Fang Heng was on his way to meet Mu Sijue.

He arrived at the apartment at 11 p.m. Someone was waiting for him at the door and immediately greeted him when he saw him. “Dr. Fang, please come with me,” he said.

After entering the elevator, Fang Heng shivered and took in a deep breath as if he had a toothache.

The subordinate asked nervously, “What’s wrong, Dr. Fang? Are you unwell?”

Fang Heng asked seriously, “Is it proper for a man to meet your Seventh Brother in the middle of the night?”

The subordinate was speechless. After a long time, he emphasized, “Doctor Fang, it’s not a matter of whether it is proper or not. It’s a matter of safety!”

There was a mirror in the elevator, which reflected the images of the people inside clearly.

Fang Heng looked at himself in the mirror and replied, “Yeah, it’s really not safe for a handsome person like me to be out at midnight.”

After leaving the Kang family residence, Fang Heng had torn off his mask and was now back to his normal young and handsome visage. He was not worried at all that Kang Ruicheng would find out what he really looked like.

The elevator door opened as soon as Fang Heng finished speaking.

The subordinate took Fang Heng to the door of Mu Sijue’s house and directly pushed him in.

He couldn’t stand this narcissist anymore. Let him bother Mu Sijue instead!

Fang Heng was not prepared. He stumbled into the apartment and staggered a little before he managed to keep his balance. When he looked up, he saw Mu Sijue standing on the balcony outside.

He could lose everything except his handsome looks!

He calmed himself immediately and walked to the balcony and teased Mu Sijue leisurely, “What are you thinking about, Seventh Brother?”

Mu Sijue glanced at Fang Heng and asked, “How’s Youning?”

“Don’t worry. She was much better when I left,” Fang Heng replied, patting Mu Sijue’s shoulder hard. “Listen up, I have good news for you!”

“Say it,” Mu Sijue said lightly.

Fang Heng was not expecting such a reaction from Mu Sijue. He continued to speak. “It’s about Xu Youning.”

“Say it!” He commanded. Something flashed through his eyes and his face was taut.
