Chapter 821 Be Handsome Enough to Make People Lose Their Wits

As it turned out, Xu Youning knew Mu Sijue very well.

While she was thinking, Mu Sijue got up and walked over, saying, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Stay here and wait until Boyan and I send Kang Ruicheng to prison. I believe you will tell the truth then."

Xu Youning thought that she would tell the truth if she was still alive after everything had passed and if she still had a chance to tell the truth.

Mu Sijue went to the study on the second floor and handed a mobile phone to Xu Youning.

It was the latest mobile phone of a certain brand.

Xu Youning took it, fiddled with it, and deliberately provoked Mu Sijue. "Aren't you afraid that I will contact Kang Ruicheng?"

"Speaking of that—" Mu Sijue tipped out a cigarette from the cigarette case. When he was about to light it up, he looked at Xu Youning's belly, then threw it back into the case, and said unhurriedly, "You contacted me with the phone of someone else that day. How could you dial my number? Or… you remembered my number?"

When Kang Ruicheng wanted to kidnap Xiao Yunyun, Xu Youning stole Ah Jin's phone and contacted Mu Sijue, so as to tell him to remind Shen Yuechuan to pay attention to Xiao Yunyun's safety.

Xu Youning did remember Mu Sijue's number perfectly, so she could use Ah Jin's phone to contact him.

However, Mu Sijue would probably make fun of her if she admitted it just like that.

Thinking about it, Xu Youning put on a helpless expression, but with a look of a smile in her eyes. "I have a good memory by birth, so I can't help it."

Mu Sijue calmly raised the corner of his mouth and suddenly asked, "What's Kang Ruicheng's number?"

Xu Youning did not react. "What?" "Why did Mu Sijue ask Kang Ruicheng's number?"

Mu Sijue smiled with satisfaction. "You don't remember, do you?

His smile made his handsome face more charming. Xu Youning was suddenly spellbound by him and neglected his question.

Mu Sijue smiled even more happily. "Since you can't even remember Kang Ruicheng's number, what's there to be afraid of? In addition, I will monitor the use of this mobile phone all the time. Every time you dial or send a message, you have to get my permission. So, do you still want to contact Kang Ruicheng?"

Xu Youning had known that Mu Sijue would not give her absolute freedom.

She gritted her teeth. "Control freak!"

Mu Sijue ignored Xu Youning's complaint and said, "I'm going out. Stay here obediently. If I find that you want to escape, I'll break your legs when I come back."

Xu Youning sat down on the sofa with a plonk.

When protecting Mu Sijue in the car accident, she had broken her leg once. She did not want to try the feeling of not being free anymore.

Mu Sijue was satisfied with Xu Youning's reaction and went out with a smile.

Xu Youning looked up at the ceiling and unconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen. Suddenly, she had an impulse to cry again.

However, at this time, crying was obviously useless.

At noon, Mu Sijue did not come back. Only the waiter of the club brought warm lunch, including three courses and one soup. Xu Youning took a few bites, drank some soup, and then she swept the rest into the trash can.

She had no appetite, so there was no need for her to eat so much.

After dinner, Xu Youning wanted to have a rest, but she could not fall asleep. So, she took the phone, but it unexpectedly rang as soon as she unlocked the screen. She recognized that it was Mu Sijue's number, hesitated for a while, and answered the phone.

It was a video call, and Mu Sijue's face appeared on the screen. Xu Youning was surprised and looked at him in disbelief.

"Why do you look so surprised?" Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning lightly and said, "The person of the club told me that you didn't eat much. Don't you like it?"

"…" After a long silence, Xu Youning said, "I was not hungry. They brought too much food here."

Mu Sijue frowned and asked, "Why weren't you hungry?"

He knew Xu Youning. She didn't eat like a bird like ordinary girls. Also, she needed food for two persons now. Shouldn't she eat more?

Xu Youning curled her lips. "I haven't moved for a whole day. How could I be hungry?"

Mu Sijue took a serious look at Xu Youning and said, "I want you to move, but you are in a special period now."

Xu Youning was confused for a moment before she realized what Mu Sijue meant. She poked the phone screen hard and wanted to hang up the video call but found that she could not hang up at all.

She looked at Mu Sijue in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"Don't waste your energy." Mu Sijue said slowly, "I told you, your phone is under my control. If I don't hang up, you can only continue looking me."

Xu Youning gritted her teeth. "Mu Sijue, you're just a rogue!"

"Huh?" Mu Sijue seemed very surprised. "I thought you were used to it."

"Bullshit!" Xu Youning could not help swearing. "Mu Sijue, don't think that I can't do anything about it!"

"What can you do?" Mu Sijue appeared like he was looking forward to her reaction.

Xu Youning smiled and put the phone screen upside down.

This was called—"out of sight, out of mind!"

After a moment of silence, Mu Sijue's voice came from the phone again. He said, "Xu Youning, I thought you had a better idea."

Xu Youning poked the phone angrily and said, "Mu Sijue, I want to sleep. Stop talking!"

Then, Mu Sijue did not speak anymore.

Xu Youning tossed and turned, and finally lay on her side, but still could not fall asleep.

She looked at the phone on the other pillow and hesitated for a moment. Then she picked it up and looked at the screen.

Mu Sijue had not hung up the phone. He was in the car. The phone should have been set up high by him, and the front camera was facing his face. He was staring at the computer screen and looking at something.

It was said that men who were devoted to their business were the most handsome ones. When an attractive man was dedicated to his business, he would be handsome enough to make people lose their wits!

While others drooled at the handsome men, Xu Youning felt sleepy at the sight of handsome men. After a while, she closed her eyes and the phone slipped out of her palm.

Xu Youning did not wake up until five o'clock in the afternoon.

The sky had already darkened. In the dusk, white snowflakes were falling slowly.

Xu Youning opened the window, and the cold wind poured in immediately and blew at her face like blades, and her cheeks were painful.

As if she could not feel the pain, Xu Youning stubbornly reached out to catch the snowflakes with her palm.

She did not know when the snow had begun to fall, but there was already a thin layer of snow in the small garden outside.

At this moment, the door was pushed open. Xu Youning thought it was Mu Sijue, only to find that it was Aunt Zhou after she turned around.

For so many years, Aunt Zhou had been the maid of the Mu family and had taken care of Mu Sijue since he was a child. She was the only one who dared to call Mu Sijue "Little Seven".

"But, isn't Aunt Zhou in City G? Why is she here?"

Before Xu Youning came to her senses, Aunt Zhou had strode over. She closed the window and said, "On such a cold day, don't get in a draught, or you may catch a cold. You can't catch a cold now!"

"Aunt Zhou…" Xu Youning asked blankly, "You already know it?"

"Little Seven told me!" Aunt Zhou grabbed Xu Youning's hand excitedly. "Youning, that's great!"

Xu Youning smiled, but Aunt Zhou did not notice the bitterness in her smile.

How could she tell Aunt Zhou the truth about her pregnancy? The fewer people knew about it, the better.

"Little Seven is also very happy!" Aunt Zhou said with a smile, "Actually when he called me in the morning, his voice was full of excitement. I haven't heard any emotion in his voice for many years!"

"Aunt Zhou," Xu Youning could not believe it and asked, "Mu Sijue asked you to come to City A?"

"Yes! Little Seven said that he couldn't take you back to City G for the time being, and he was also worried if others came to take care of you, so he asked me if I could come over." Aunt Zhou said with a smile, "I didn't want to go to another city in such cold weather, but Little Seven said that you were pregnant, which made me so happy! I was even willing to go to a foreign country, let alone going to another city!"

"Aunt Zhou, thank you." Xu Youning could only express her gratitude to the old woman.

Aunt Zhou held Xu Youning's hand and said, "What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll cook for you."

Xu Youning said with a smile, "I like whatever you cook."

"Okay." Aunt Zhou gently patted the back of Xu Youning's hand. "I'll go down and see the food in the kitchen. I'll choose something you like to cook for you."

After Aunt Zhou left, only Xu Youning was left in the room.

The cold wind was whistling outside the window, shaking the branches and leaves of the trees wildly and forcing people to face the fact that winter had arrived.

Xu Youning stood in front of the window, and her face was reflected in the transparent glass. She saw that her eyes were slowly turning red.

"Don't be so nice to me. I will let you down."

Mu Sijue, Aunt Zhou, their happiness and expectations would all fail.

Xu Youning did not know how long she stood in front of the window. After she calmed down, Mu Sijue pushed the door open and came in. He put the coat around her shoulders and said, "Let's go down for dinner."

Xu Youning grabbed Mu Sijue's hand and said, "I heard from Aunt Zhou that you couldn't go back to City G for the time being. Why? What are you doing in City A?"

Mu Sijue did not answer but asked, "Do you want to go home?"

Xu Youning laughed and said, "My grandma is gone. I don't have a home anymore."

Mu Sijue stared at Xu Youning for a while, then he held her hand and said, "From now on, the Mu family is your home. Follow me down."

The Mu family was her home…

Xu Youning was shocked by his words for a long time.

When Aunt Zhou saw Mu Sijue come down with Xu Youning's hand in his hand, the smile on her face became more brilliant. "They are all your favorite dishes. Eat them while it's warm."

Xu Youning sat down. Seeing that Aunt Zhou was going to continue to cook in the kitchen, she quickly stopped her. "Aunt Zhou, please sit down and eat with us."

Aunt Zhou thought for a moment and sat down. "I'll listen to the hostess."

Xu Youning had picked up a piece of vegetable with her chopsticks. When she heard the word "hostess", she was so shocked that the vegetable fell on the plate.

She glanced at Mu Sijue, waiting for him to refute Aunt Zhou, but he remained indifferent.

Noticing Xu Youning's gaze, Mu Sijue raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Youning lowered her voice and said, "Aunt Zhou said…"

"Aunt Zhou is right." Mu Sijue knocked on Xu Youning's chopsticks. "Eat quickly."

Xu Youning was speechless.

Aunt Zhou smiled and filled Xu Youning's bowl with soup. She said, "Drink more. I specially cooked it for you. As mentioned in the book, this soup is not only good for pregnant women but also for babies!"

Xu Youning took the soup and blew on it, and then she lowered her head and drank it.

No one noticed the red corners of her eyes.
