Chapter 1038 Kang Ruichengs Suspicion (2)

The old ladys vision had declined, so she could not see the displeasure and anger on Kang Ruichengs face. She just vaguely felt that he looked somewhat serious.

However, this did not affect the old ladys enthusiasm.

The elders had gone through a lot in their lives and had seen too many vicious people. For them, Kang Ruicheng was just a man who looked serious.

They would not have any prejudice against Kang Ruicheng because of this!

The elders were still smiling and looking at Kang Ruicheng curiously.

According to Kang Ruichengs personality, if it were in the past, he would have asked someone to drive these people out of the small park.

He was Kang Ruicheng, not the monkey in the park!

Just as Kang Ruicheng was about to lose his temper, Xu Youning held his hand hard.

Kang Ruicheng knew what Xu Youning meant.

Xu Youning wanted to tell him that this was a public place, and he should restrain himself.

Besides, it would not be good for him if he made a big deal out of it and attracted Mu Sijues attention.

Kang Ruicheng took a deep breath quietly and decided to listen to Xu Youning.

Xu Youning had been observing Kang Ruichengs expression silently. Seeing that he looked better, she was relieved.

She touched Kang Ruichengs arm again and said, Since so many people have greeted you, you should at least say Nice to meet you, right? Mumu is so polite. If you have such a grim look on your face, everyone will think that Mumu was actually abducted by you.

Polite?

Kang Ruicheng never knew what it was like to be polite. He lived in this world by relying on his strength, and he did not need to be polite.

Seeing that Kang Ruicheng did not respond, Xu Youning nudged him with her elbow to urge him.

Ahem! Kang Ruicheng could not stand Xu Youning. After hesitating for a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence. Madam, good morning.

Good morning. The old lady greeted him enthusiastically. She pointed to a tree, not far away, where a group of old men gathered. They are playing Chinese chess. Young man, do you want to join them?

Young man, do you want to join them?

Kang Ruicheng suddenly felt a little confused. Did he seem like the type to play with the elderly?

At the thought of this, Kang Ruichengs expression nearly soured again.

Xu Xu Youning knew that Kang Ruicheng did not like such statements. She coughed and reminded him to control himself.

Kang Ruicheng finally accepted Xu Younings suggestion reluctantly. He tried to say in a gentle tone, Madam, I cant play Chinese chess.

Well, its a pity! The old lady shook her head with a look of regret. I wanted to go over and show those old men what a fine young mans aura is like!

Kang Ruicheng could not help sneering in his heart and thought that it was better for these old people not to know what he was like.

Once they saw his actual self, they would definitely regret greeting him today!

Xu Youning guessed that Mu Sijue was about to lose his temper. She pulled Mumus hand and said, Boy, go and save your daddy.

Mumu blinked. He had a mischievous look on his face and said with a smile, Daddy looks so miserable. I still want to stand by and watch him suffer for a little longer.

Xu Youning was speechless for a moment. She suddenly understood what it meant to kid his father.

After that thought, she pulled the little boy and said patiently, Go and save your daddy now. In the future, no matter what you ask for, he will grant it to you.

Mumus big black eyes widened. Really? Alright, Ill go and save Daddy.

He ran over and took Kang Ruichengs hand. Daddy, I want to go and see the ducks. Can you go with me?

Kang Ruicheng looked at the little boy. For the first time, he took the initiative to hold his hand as he nodded and said, Okay. He kept his serious expression and smiled apologetically at the old lady. Madam, excuse me.

The old lady liked Mumu very much. Since the little boy asked his father to accompany him to watch the ducks, how could she ask Kang Ruicheng to stay?

Go ahead. The old lady waved her hand. Have a good time.

Okay. Mumu smiled like an innocent and harmless angel. Goodbye, Madam.

As soon as Kang Ruicheng and Mumu left, Xu Youning followed them to the lakeside.

There were a few white-feathered ducks raised in the lake, which were the common pets of the children in the old city area.

With their white feathers floating on the water, the ducks paddled around the pond, leaving ripples on the green water, which looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

Mumu was not there to see the ducks. He released Kang Ruichengs hand, jumped in front of him, and said seriously, Daddy, I helped you. You have to agree to one of my requests in the future even if its excessive!

Kang Ruicheng frowned. How dare the little boy bargain with him?

He reached out his hand and suddenly pinched the little boys ear. What do you want from me?

Wah, wah, wah, wah! Mumu screamed as his cute little face puckered in pain. Auntie Youning, help, waaa

If it hadnt really hurt, the little boy would not be screaming like this.

Xu Youning walked over and tapped Kang Ruichengs hand. What are you doing? Let go of Mumu.

Kang Ruicheng also cared about the little boy, so he soon released him.

Mumu stopped crying, but he kept his head raised. No one knew what he was looking at.

Xu Youning raised her hand and waved it in front of the little boys eyes. Mumu, whats wrong with you?

Mumus voice had returned to normal. He pointed at a big red lantern with the word Spring pasted on it and asked, Auntie Youning, whats that? Whats on the picture?

He had never seen lanterns before, so he naturally did not know what they were.

Similarly, the little boy did not know Mandarin, so he directly regarded the word Spring on it as a picture.

This? Xu Youning smiled. This is a lantern.

Mumu still could not understand and blinked Whats the lantern for? Why do we have to hang it up? Will it feel uncomfortable?

Xu Youning really did not know how to answer the little boys last question. She could only tell him, The lantern was originally used as a light. But now, people hang it up as a sign of celebration. When you see it lighting up, it means that a festival is coming soon.

Its lighted up now! Mumu jumped up and down curiously. Auntie Youning, is there any festival recently?

The Spring Festival. Were going to celebrate the Spring Festival, just like Christmas day in country A. Xu Youning rubbed the little boys head. Do you want to know about the Spring Festival?

Mumu nodded. Yes, yes.

Xu Youning carefully explained to Mumu about the Spring Festival and also its importance to Chinese people, and told him about the fireworks and firecrackers going off at midnight.

Mumu did not like lively places, but he liked all the celebrations during festivals. Because only during festivals, would Xu Youning and Kang Ruicheng go to country A to see him.

After Xu Youning finished telling him the facts, the little boys eyes lit up. He asked expectantly, Auntie Youning, can we celebrate the Spring Festival together?

Of course, Xu Youning said with a smile, We can go back and decorate the house and hang up the lanterns. Oh, we can also post couplets on the doors!

Great! Mumu looked excited and eager. Shall we go back now?

Xu Youning motioned for Mumu to look at Kang Ruicheng. You have to ask your daddy for permission. If he agrees, well go back and prepare for that.

Mumu immediately pounced on Kang Ruicheng. Daddy, shall we celebrate the Spring Festival together?

Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Youning unhappily, as if he blamed her for telling Mumu about the Spring Festival. She should know better than anyone that Mumu could not stand the temptation of any festivals.

Xu Youning came over and calmly explained, Mumu may live in China in the future, so its a good idea for him to experience the traditional festivals in the country. Besides, you just came back this year. Its been many years since you last celebrated the Spring Festival, right?

Kang Ruicheng did not reply.

After his fathers death, all the festivals in the world were meaningless to him, let alone the Spring Festival which was a family day.

Xu Youning knew what Kang Ruicheng was thinking. She thought about it and continued, You lost your father, but Mumu did not. Dont you want to give Mumu a warm and happy childhood?

Warm and happy?

Something in Kang Ruichengs heart seemed to be touched.

Yes.

He had lost his father, but his sons father was still alive in this world.

He had no way to celebrate a family day anymore, but he could let his son celebrate a family day.

In the end, Kang Ruichengs expression changed and he did not look so stern anymore. Lets go back now. You can decorate the house at your will.

In other words, he promised to let Xu Youning and Mumu celebrate the Spring Festival.

Mumu widened his eyes in disbelief. When he came to his senses, he rushed over to hug Xu Youning, exclaiming, Yeah! Auntie Youning, it is great, isnt it?

Xu Youning touched the little boys head and said with a smile, Yeah, its great. Well, lets go back and prepare for that now.

Okay!

Mumu obediently held Xu Younings hand and walked toward the old house.

Kang Ruicheng sent Xu Youning and Mumu to the door of their house. Instead of entering, he just watched them from the outside.

Mumu turned around and asked curiously, Daddy, arent you coming in?

I dont have time to decorate the house with you. Ill leave it to you, Kang Ruicheng said, Ill come back and have dinner with you in the evening.

Okay. Although Mumu was a little disappointed, he did not pester Kang Ruicheng. He just waved at Kang Ruicheng and said, Goodbye, Daddy.

After that, Mumu took Xu Younings hand and hopped into the room.

Kang Ruicheng stood at the door and did not get in the car until he could not see Xu Youning and Mumu anymore.

Dongzi started the car and said while controlling the steering wheel, Brother Cheng, Ah Jin told me that he had almost finished his business in country C and wants to come back.

Kang Ruicheng lit a cigarette and said, Tell him to come back as soon as hes done with his work. Weve been busy recently.
