Chapter 1042 It’s Getting Worse (2)

“Wait a minute!” Mumu nimbly rushed over, restrained Xu Youning’s hand, and looked at her in confusion. “Auntie Youning, what are you trying to do?”

Xu Youning looked at the needle in her hand and said, “It’s useless and troublesome. I want to pull it out.”

“No!” Mumu shook his head and gripped Xu Youning’s hand in a firm hold. He gazed at her seriously and said, “Doctor said that it can help you restore your strength! You are sick now, so you must listen to the doctor!”

More than a year ago, Mumu contracted pneumonia, and Xu Youning found time to visit him in country A.

Overcome by the pneumonia, Mumu threw a tantrum. He shouted and refused the treatment, injections and medicine, and created a general ruckus in the children’s ward.

Xu Youning tried to reason with him, but the little boy covered his ears, unwilling to listen at all.

In the end, Xu Youning could only coax him in a gentle voice. “Mumu, you are a sick child now. You must listen to the doctor and receive the treatment, so you will recover. Do you understand what I am saying?”

The little boy did not fully understand but nodded, and then obediently allowed himself to be treated by the doctor. In a few days, he recovered and left the hospital.

Unexpectedly, Mumu not only remembered her words, but also used them on her later.

As the old saying went, “Every dog has its day.”

Xu Youning had to stick to what she said, even if she was unwilling to.

She had no choice but to lie down, nodded, and said resignedly, “Okay, I won’t remove the infusion until I regain my physical strength.”

Mumu climbed onto the bed and gave her an angelic smile. He kissed Xu Youning suddenly and praised her. “Auntie Youning is so great.”

“...” Xu Youning tried her best to hold back her laughter, but in the end, she failed. She burst out laughing.

In the past, every time Mumu listened to her obediently, she would kiss the little boy and say, “Mumu is so obedient.” She would reward the little boy in word and deed.

She did not expect Mumu to imitate her actions.

In addition, Xu Youning was greatly touched beyond words.

Her words and deeds had greatly encouraged Mumu.

Now that she felt uncomfortable, Mumu wanted to imitate the way she had encouraged him.

Xu Youning felt as if her heart had been placed at the heating air outlet, and the warmth had penetrated the deepest part of her heart.

After her parents passed away, Xu Youning only witnessed the indifference and ruthlessness of the world.

Because of Mumu, she firmly believed that there was really warmth in the world.

Xu Youning touched Mumu’s head and promised the little boy, “You don’t have to worry about me. I will cooperate with the doctor and try my best to recover. Trust me, okay?”

Mumu nodded. “I trust you, just like I trust the doctor!”

Xu Youning smiled and did not say anything more.

Mumu seemed to suddenly recall something. He urged Xu Youning to lie down and said, “Doctor said that you have to get more rest so that you can recover quickly! So, lie down now, and I will stay with you!”

Xu Youning pulled the quilt to cover herself and suddenly asked, “Mumu, where’s your daddy?”

If she remembered correctly, she and Kang Ruicheng had been in the study before she fainted.

She had thought that Kang Ruicheng just wanted to tell her something, but she did not expect that he suddenly wanted to kiss her while talking.

Kang Ruicheng was her enemy. Of course, she would not accept his kiss.

She had thought that when Kang Ruicheng wanted to kiss her, she could pretend to faint. Anyway, she was a patient, so it was natural for her to faint.

To her surprise, she really fainted.

After she fainted, Xu Youning completely lost consciousness and knew nothing about what happened later.

However, Mumu should know what happened later and where Kang Ruicheng went.

“Daddy was here just now, but then he left.” Mumu thought for a moment and asked, “Auntie Youning, are you looking for Daddy? We can call him!”

“No, I just want to know why he isn’t here.” Xu Youning paused and looked at the needle in her hand. “Who inserted the IV drip for me? Was it the doctor?”

Mumu nodded vigorously and said, “It’s the same doctor. He promised me that he would definitely find a way to cure you!”

Xu Youning touched Mumu’s head with a smile and said, “I see. Thank you.”

She just felt that it was a pity.

Fang Heng was an outsider, so he probably did not have many chances to enter the Kang family’s old house unless something unexpected happened to her.

However, if something unexpected did happen to her, she would usually lose consciousness and could not communicate with Fang Heng at all, let alone hand over the information she had collected to him.

If she did not hand over the information to Fang Heng and ask him to bring it to Mu Sijue, she would be in danger sooner or later.

What should she do?

After thinking about it, Xu Youning found that there was nothing she could do.

If Mu Sijue knew that she was in a helpless situation, would he find a way?

At this time, Fang Heng managed to locate Mu Sijue.

Mu Sijue was outside, helping Su Jian’an prepare for Shen Yuechuan’s and Xiao Yunyun’s wedding.

Although he was no longer the person chiefly in charge of the wedding, he could still help Su Jian’an deal with some small details.

As soon as he finished his work today, Mu Sijue received a phone call from Fang Heng, who asked to see him.

He made an appointment with Fang Heng at a pool room.

This pool room only received a fixed number of customers, so it was not very lively. There were only a few people at the pool tables, all of whom were young couples. When they saw Mu Sijue, they naturally greeted him.

Mu Sijue responded politely and took Fang Heng into a private room.

The private room was very large, equipped with good pool equipment. Warm sunlight shone through the window, making the room warm and bright.

Fang Heng picked up a pool cue and shot a ball. Then he looked at Mu Sijue and said, “Xu Youning fainted again.”

Fang Heng sounded like he was used to it, but Mu Sijue was obviously not used to such bad news.

Mu Sijue frowned deeply and asked in a cold tone, “What’s going on? How is she now?”

“What’s going on... I have to think about how to explain it to you.” Fang Heng thought for a moment, snapped his fingers, and said, “Let’s call Xu Youning’s fainting spell as a routine attack for the time being!”

“...”

Mu Sijue thought gloomily, “If I really want to beat up Fang Heng now, what should I call that?”

Fang Heng saw that Mu Sijue’s expression was still as sullen as before. If anything, he looked gloomier. Fang Heng quickly explained, “At present, the sudden onset of the illness does not hurt Xu Youning at all. It will only make her temporarily lose consciousness. However, her condition is worsening. She will have more recurring fainting spells in the future.”

Fang Heng took a deep breath and continued, “But don’t worry. I’ve already sent the information about Xu Youning’s illness to the top hospitals in country A and country B, and it’s confidential. More doctors will join in the research about her condition. There will always be someone who can do it.”

Mu Sijue’s expression finally looked a little better and he asked, “Did Youning tell you anything when you were at the Kang family?”

“Sorry, my answer this time will really disappoint you.” Fang Heng shrugged helplessly. “When I arrived, Xu Youning had already fainted. She was still unconscious when I left. It seemed that Kang Ruicheng didn’t want me to have contact with her, so he sent me away quickly. I did not manage to talk to her.”

Mu Sijue was not surprised. He thought for a moment and said, “Kang Ruicheng is still suspicious of Youning. As an outsider with an unknown background, he certainly doesn’t want you to have any contact with Youning.”

“The more he doesn’t want to, the more I want to challenge it,” Fang Heng said, “In a few days, Xu Youning will be back to the hospital for a checkup. At that time, I may be able to ‘have a conversation’ with Xu Youning.”

Mu Sijue understood what Fang Heng implied. He stared at the latter and emphasised clearly, “Remember, it’s better that you get nothing than put Youning in danger.”

“Don’t worry. I will put Xu Youning’s safety first.” Fang Heng tutted and looked at Mu Sijue discontentedly. “Do you have to remind me? Do I look like the kind of person who makes trouble for my friends?”

“No.” Mu Sijue first gave a pleasant answer, and then added, “But you would really make trouble for your friends.”

“...”

Fang Heng silently cursed in his heart and blacklisted Mu Sijue in his mind.

Of course, his thoughts could not be seen by Mu Sijue.

Otherwise, according to Mu Sijue’s crafty way of doing things, he might do something very crazy.

Fang Heng coughed and asked tentatively, “Boss Mu, how have you been recently?”

Mu Sijue knew that Fang Heng was asking about Yuechuan’s and Yunyun’s wedding, and he said simply, “It’s almost done.”

Fang Heng glanced at Mu Sijue and asked teasingly, “You will be Yuechuan’s best man, right? Tut-tut, this is the benefit of being unmarried! Look at President Lu. He is married and will not have time to attend Yuechuan’s wedding as long as his daughter cries, let alone to be a best man!”

“Get married?”

Mu Sijue heard these two words, and his heart skipped a beat

After a long time, Mu Sijue looked at Fang Heng and said slowly, “I had planned to get married.”

Fang Heng froze for a moment before realizing that he had brought up a wrong topic.

He just remembered what Lu Boyan had told him: that Xu Youning had agreed to marry Mu Sijue at the top of the mountain.

Most importantly, at that time, Xu Youning was sincere.

But later, Tang Yulan and Aunt Zhou were kidnapped. In order to save the two old ladies, Xu Youning lied to Mu Sijue, tried to return to the Kang family and put herself in danger.

If such a thing hadn’t happened, Mu Sijue could have gotten married...
