Was it possible that Xu Youning didn’t want this child?

If it was necessary, she was willing to admit that she had returned to Kang Ruicheng just for revenge. Also, she was willing to stay and bring the child in her belly into this world.

However, Dr. Liu and the professor had made it so clear. They had made any mistakes in their diagnosis. She and the child had no chance.

Mu Sijue thought that Xu Youning was hesitating to answer him, and he grew furious.

Why would Xu Youning hesitate to give birth to their child?

Mu Sijue grabbed Xu Youning’s wrist, stared at her, and slowly warned her, “Xu Youning, the child is mine. I want it. You must give birth to this child! As for returning to the Kang family, don’t think about it anymore. You won’t have the chance to leave me again!”

He looked as dark as the night sky.

Xu Youning opened her mouth but did not say anything. She suddenly burst into tears.

She couldn’t help crying. Tears gushed from her eyes and her voice was full of deep sadness.

Mu Sijue was taken aback, and his anger gradually dissipated as he watched Xu Youning’s tears fall.

The impression he’d always had of Xu Youning was that she was unable to cry. If ever she encountered a problem, she would roll up her sleeves and solve it by force.

For example, once when she’d been with him, and Yang Shanshan had sent some people to scare Granny Xu, she’d driven the car to hospital and sorted everyone out that night.

Cry?

Xu Youning had always told herself that tears were useless. Every drop of tears was a waste of time, and wasting time was like slowly killing yourself.

Right now, she seemed to have forgotten all that and was crying her eyes out.

The last feelings of anger in Mu Sijue’s heart were extinguished. Instead, he felt his body tingling with emotion.

Xu Youning was like a little deer that was hard to tame, and seeing her like this his heart softened.

“Mu Sijue… Mu Sijue…”

Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue, crying and calling his name. Every call was full of despair, just like the whimper of a dying little beast.

A pain in Mu Sijue’s heart suddenly grew sharp.

He released Xu Youning’s wrist, hesitated for a moment, and then gently took her into his arms.

Xu Youning did not resist. She buried her head in Mu Sijue’s chest and let herself cry hard.

She couldn’t tell Mu Sijue that she’d rather him not allow her to be pregnant with his child.

Xu Youning had never cried so sadly. Mu Sijue gradually realized that something was wrong. When he was about to let go of Xu Youning and ask her why she was crying, he remembered what Su Yicheng had said.

A few days ago, when he’d got together with Lu Boyan and the others, Su Yicheng had casually mentioned Luo Xiaoxi. He had said, with a bitter smile, that ever since Luo Xiaoxi had got pregnant, her hobbies and her mood had been very changeable, and that when she felt confident, she looked like a queen, but when she felt wronged, she acted like a child.”

In the end, Su Yicheng had specifically emphasized that most pregnant women do the same.

Mu Sijue had suddenly asked, out of the blue, “What are you going to do about it?”

Su Yicheng had helplessly spread his hands, but there was a hint of happiness in his tone that could not be concealed. “She is my wife. What else can I do except for spoil her and keep her happy? Anyway, it just lasts ten months. She will be fine after the baby is born.”

“Maybe the fact that Xu Youning is moody has something to do with her pregnancy?”

“To spoil her and keep her happy? Su Yicheng’s approach is not bad.”

The hard shell of Mu Sijue’s heart had been stripped bare. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Xu Youning’s face.

Xu Youning was stunned. She looked up at Mu Sijue, and her tears slowly stopped.

Mu Sijue put down his hand and said, “Even if you really don’t know that Kang Ruicheng is the one who killed your grandma, or you don’t want to believe it, it doesn’t matter. I’ll prove it to you.”

“…”

Mu Sijue went on to say, “After I get the evidence, it won’t matter whether you admit or deny that you went back to work undercover. I just want you to stay and give birth to this child.”

“…”

“I know why you still want to go back.” Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning and said, “You don’t want to give up because you haven’t got any valuable clues yet. But have you ever thought how Kang Ruicheng will treat you once he finds out your intentions?”

“…” Of course, Xu Youning had thought about that. She also knew that according to Kang Ruicheng’s means, she would definitely be tortured so hard that she’d wish for her own death.

However, was she the first person that Mu Sijue would care about?

What about the child?

“Even if you’re not afraid, how can you not think about the child?” Mu Sijue asked. “Are you going to put a several-week-old fetus at risk too? Would your grandma be happy if you did this?”

At the mention of the child, Xu Youning burst into tears again. It was a heartbreaking matter for her.

Mu Sijue frowned and wiped away Xu Youning’s tears with his hands. He didn’t expect it but that the more he wiped, the more tears she shed. What was even more unexpected was that he was patient enough to continue doing it.

Normally, he would have shouted at Xu Youning and ordered her not to cry anymore.

“Mu Sijue, don’t talk about the baby anymore…” Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue with tears in her eyes. It was unclear whether she was begging or commanding him.

“It’s my baby. Why can’t I talk about it?!” Mu Sijue replied unhappily. Seeing tears welling up in her eyes again, he gently continued, “I promise you.”

Xu Youning wiped her face, and removed the tear stains. Her eyes were red and swollen, which made her look particularly pitiful.

Mu Sijue’s voice softened, “Xu Youning, you have to promise me one thing.”

Xu Youning knew that Mu Sijue wasn’t an obedient person, so she asked softly, “What is it?”

“I want you to give up your mission for revenge on Kang Ruicheng.” Mu Sijue said, “No matter why you don’t want to admit that you know the truth, now I just want you to know that Boyan and I won’t let go of Kang Ruicheng. Xu Youning, you don’t have to do it by yourself. I’ll avenge your grandma for you.”

“Lu Boyan?”

Xu Youning suddenly remembered that not long after returning to City A, Kang Ruicheng had had dealings with Lu Boyan, and had even used her to steal some documents from Mu Sijue, which caused a great crisis to Lu Enterprises. In this way, he could force Su Jian’an to divorce Lu Boyan.

Fortunately, Lu Boyan hadn’t signed the divorce agreement.

Xu Youning did not know that Kang Ruicheng wanted the documents to threaten Su Jian’an, so she angrily asked Kang Ruicheng why he’d planned to deal with Lu Enterprises.

Kang Ruicheng just said that he was interested in Su Jian’an.

Now it seemed that things were not so simple.

Xu Youning couldn’t help asking, “Is there any grievance between Lu Boyan and Kang Ruicheng?”

“Kang Ruicheng didn’t tell you?” Mu Sijue sneered. “Well, how dare he tell you?”

Xu Youning grew more confident in her speculation and asked, “What do you mean?”

After a while, Mu Sijue said carefully, “Fifteen years ago, Kang Ruicheng deliberately murdered Boyan’s father. Do you think Boyan will let him go?”

Fifteen years ago, the Kang family’s status in City A had been similar to that of the Mu family in City G.

The difference was that in order to make money, the Kang family had committed all kinds of crimes and had gone against the police in public. The police had investigated overtly but couldn’t find any evidence. So they’d sent undercover people to infiltrate the Kang family from the inside, but every undercover person eventually died an unnatural death.

At that time, the police and the citizens of City A all hated the Kang family as the local villains, but they couldn’t do anything to them.

Later, the police had finally got evidence of Kang Chengtian’s crimes, (Kang Ruicheng’s father), but his lawyer group had called black white so that the police could not convict Kang Chengtian for a long time.

As a last resort, the police had gone to find Lu Boyan’s father, who was the most authoritative lawyer at that time.

With the help of Lu Boyan’s father, Kang Chengtian was convicted of crimes and then was sentenced to death.

After that, the Kang family were in a mess. Kang Jintian fled abroad to guard the last base of the Kang family along with his close subordinates, and Kang Ruicheng was the only one who stayed in City A.

At that time, Kang Ruicheng was just a young man in his early twenties, and no one was on guard against him.

However, the day before Lu Boyan was ready to go for an outing with his father, Kang Ruicheng had set up a car accident, where Lu Boyan’s father was killed.

Lu Boyan saw with his own eyes that Kang Ruicheng was in the driver’s seat, but Kang Ruicheng found a driver named Hong Qing to take the blame, while he went to the Golden Triangle to follow Kang Jintian and got away with it.

Fourteen years later, Kang Ruicheng returned to City A again. That was last year, and the first thing he did was to deal with Lu Enterprises.

Kang Ruicheng’s expectations, Lu Boyan was no longer that 16-year-old teenager. The crisis of trust that he created in Lu Enterprises was finally resolved by Lu Boyan, and Su Jian’an also did not leave Lu Boyan.

Later, Kang Ruicheng probably couldn’t figure out Lu Boyan’s strength, so he didn’t take any more action. At the same time, Su Jian’an also got pregnant with Xiyu and Xiangyi, so Lu Boyan wasn’t in the mood to fight back.

That was exactly the grievance that Lu Boyan and Kang Ruicheng had with each other.

Xu Youning was very surprised to hear all this.

She’d just met Kang Ruicheng a few years ago. She’d had no interest in finding out about Kang Ruicheng’s past and had never heard about it from anyone.

She only knew that Kang Ruicheng had been preparing to return to City A over the past few years.

She’d once thought that Kang Ruicheng had wanted to return to his hometown. Now that she thought about it, how could a person like him have a hometown complex?

He just could not forget the hatred of that year, so he’d returned to the country and had found Lu Boyan again.

Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue and asked, “Are you dealing with Kang Ruicheng for Lu Boyan’s sake?”

“I was.” Mu Sijue paused and then added. “But now, for you.”

Xu Youning felt choked. “For me?”

“Kang Ruicheng sent you to me, and now he wants you back, so I can only make him disappear.” Then Mu Sijue asked arrogantly, “Do you have a problem with that?”

From his tone, it seemed that as long as Xu Youning nodded, he would immediately make Kang Ruicheng disappear altogether.

This time, Xu Youning wasn’t surprised.

She took a step forward, and with her chest almost pressed against Mu Sijue’s chest, she asked, “Mu Sijue, do you love me?”

Without any warning, she blurted the question out as if she was desperate for an answer.

Of course, Xu Youning didn’t hold out any hope that Mu Sijue would answer her.

She just wanted to see how Mu Sijue would react if she pushed him.
