Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Chapter 188 Wife, I Want to Stay by Your Side

Fu Runing spoke too fast, and as soon as she finished speaking, her gaze fell into the man's mischievous eyes.

When their eyes met, her face felt inexplicably hot again.

His eyes seemed to say—

Isn't this just jealousy?

Fu Runing realized that the environment she was in was not good, so she quickly changed the subject: "Don't talk about it here, go upstairs and tell me everything clearly."

She was in her living room right now, but the lights were on. Even though the adults lived on the third floor and there was a bit of distance between the first and third floors, if someone came down and saw them hugging each other like this...

How disgraceful!

The man stared at her and smiled frivolously, "Are you afraid that your affair will be exposed?"

"What am I afraid of?" Fu Runing retorted righteously.

"That only proves how charming I am. My ex-husband, even after divorcing me, still keeps pestering me. Anyone with eyesight knows who's the bitch."

The man agreed with what she said and nodded in affirmation.

“Well, Xiao Jingting is a bitch.”

Fu Runing was so upset by this sudden remark that she lost her temper.

Even a little to laugh.

He pressed against Xiao Jingting's face, used Xiao Jingting's body, and called Xiao Jingting a cheapskate.

Fu Runing pounded his shoulder and urged, "Hurry up and get up there! If someone sees you, you can still be saved if your second uncle sees you, but if my dad sees you, you're done for."

The man did as he was told and carried her upstairs without changing his posture, the way he would carry a child.

Don't let her move around, and don't let her get down.

Fu Runing didn't know where he got this bad taste from, so she wrapped her legs around his waist, thinking that she wouldn't be the one who would feel uncomfortable anyway.

The two men went upstairs, and the man turned the doorknob with his arm and walked in.

The door was closed.

Fu Runing couldn't wait to ask, "Explain it to me quickly."

The man put her on the chair and turned her and the chair towards him.

At this time, Fu Runing was sitting and he was standing, and their postures changed.

The man asked calmly, "What are you doing at Yu Wanyin's place?"

Fu Runing also didn't understand why this cheating suspect could ask questions so confidently.

"What am I doing? She's my cousin. I promised Yu Songyan to take care of her. Isn't this just going to see her living environment and buy something for her?"

She glanced at him and continued in a sarcastic tone, "Unlike some people, who seem to have a sister complex. They can't get enough of their own sisters, so they have to look at other people's sisters."

The man curled his lips and chuckled, "Wife, I have never treated you as my sister."

Fu Runing rolled her eyes. What the hell is going on?

As expected, one could never find out anything about Rong Ruo from Xiao Ting. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, he really couldn't trick her at all.

It seemed that Xiaoting really had nothing in her mind related to Rong Ruo.

It's really strange.

"Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'll be angry."

Seeing that she was really annoyed, the man followed her words and explained, "I sent her home yesterday."

"You..." Fu Runing was speechless, and she wanted to find a pillow to hit him again.

I looked around but couldn't find any suitable tools.

"How dare you say that!"

The man looked at her cheeks which were flushed with anger, and bent down to kiss her on the side of her face.

Fu Runing turned her face away, looking annoying.

When she was on the verge of exploding, the man finally stopped teasing her and got down to business.

"Okay Ningning, listen to my explanation."

Fu Runing didn't say a word, just looked at him, waiting for him to make excuses.

"Yu Wanyin came to me on her own initiative and told me a little about her past."

Fu Runing raised her eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

The man said calmly, "Yu Wanyin was adopted by the Yu family when she was ten years old. She had a mother before, but when she was ten, her mother became mentally ill and injured someone. She was sent to a mental hospital by the local Women's Federation, and she was sent to an orphanage. Later, she was adopted by the Yu family."

Fu Runing wanted to ask him to get to the point directly, but she still felt a little sad when she heard about the man's miserable life experience.

Damn empathy.

The man glanced into her eyes and continued speaking.

"Her father was the bodyguard of the Xiao family. He was usually responsible for my mother's travel safety. For a long time, he was my mother's personal bodyguard."

When Fu Runing heard this, her eyes suddenly widened.

"Your mother..." she murmured softly, but didn't dare to continue, for fear of revealing Su Qing's affairs in advance.

She also didn't expect Xiaoting to mention the word "mother" so casually.

"Yes, my mother." The man's tone was a little lonely, and there was a dimness in his quiet eyes.

Fu Runing asked cautiously, "Do you...still remember her?"

The man shook his head helplessly.

"I don't remember. I don't know when I forgot about her, but it seems like there are some images of her in my dreams. They're not so specific, but I know it's her."

Fu Runing had heard the whole story of the car accident from Su Qing yesterday. She couldn't imagine how the five-year-old child survived in such a cruel environment.

The impact was so great that it was normal for him to forget that memory.

The man lowered his eyelids, as if he was lost in thought, or as if he was lost in long and distant memories, trying to search for the figure of his mother.

But it's still in vain.

Fu Runing interrupted his thoughts and changed the subject.

"Don't think about it for now, let's talk about serious matters."

The man pulled himself back to his thoughts and continued, "Back then, there were rumors swirling that my mother and that bodyguard were having an affair. They said the car accident was because my mother wanted to elope with that bodyguard."

"That's definitely not the case!" Fu Runing said anxiously.

The man looked at her with gentle eyes, "Of course I know it's not."

"If you think about it carefully, you'll know it's a rumor. How could she have eloped with someone and taken her son with her? But this kind of news is what people love to hear, and it spreads quickly. When it's spread so often, it seems like it's hard to tell the truth from the lies."

Fu Runing said angrily, "It's definitely fake, absolutely."

The man nodded and reached out to touch the top of her head, playing with her black hair with his fingertips.

"Yu Wanyin also firmly believes that her father is definitely not what the rumors say, but the suffering that both mother and daughter have experienced stems from that missing father."

Fu Runing frowned, "Why is he missing? Isn't he dead?"

"Because we couldn't identify the deceased driver, the car had been burned to a bare shell when it was found, along with a fragmented skeleton that had been gnawed away by wild animals."

At this point, a sharp cold light appeared in the man's eyes, and his voice became cold.

"Yu Wanyin told me that during her mother's last six months, a strange man came to the mental hospital. He visited her mother several times and even left some money for the caregiver who was taking care of her mother."

Hearing this, Fu Runing's heart began to beat fast. She suppressed her emotions and asked calmly, "And then?"

"Later, on her deathbed, Yu Wanyin's mother seemed to suddenly regain consciousness. On the last night before her death, she repeatedly told Yu Wanyin that the man was the one who killed her father, and she was certain she hadn't made a mistake."

Fu Runing murmured, "Why do you say that?"

"Yu Wanyin's mother said that the strange man used to be a bodyguard for the Xiao family, just like her father, and that they had both gone abroad with Mrs. Xiao at the time. They both disappeared in the car accident, so how could that man survive unscathed? And he even showed up to see this crazy woman. It's hard not because he feels guilty."

"These are all your guesses. Is there any actual evidence?"

Just as Su Qing said, without evidence, we can only infer who the murderer is based on who enjoys the greatest benefit.

The man's eyes were gloomy. "I just had a private conversation with Yu Wanyin yesterday, and someone from the South City mental hospital has already gone to inquire about it today. We have no evidence, so we're just waiting for them to reveal a flaw."

"Yu Wanyin also gave me a drawing. It was a picture of the man she drew from memory."

Hearing these words, Fu Runing's heart tightened, and she blurted out: "Will Sister Yu be in danger?"

The man's eyes regained their composure, and he slowly said, "I have arranged for someone to protect her in secret."

Fu Runing breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally figured out the relationship.

He deliberately got close to Yu Wanyin to make people with ulterior motives think that they had something going on.

Whoever has something to hide will be exposed.

You see, misunderstandings will arise when information is not shared.

If information is shared, wouldn’t it be more efficient?

Fu Runing thought about telling Aunt Su Qing about this.

Seeing her frown, the man thought she was frightened and coaxed her softly, "Don't be afraid, honey. These things have nothing to do with you. Just pretend you don't know."

Fu Runing came back to her senses and looked at the man's face quietly.

She was wondering, was it because Xiao Jingting felt that these things were dangerous and complicated, so he never intended to tell her?

He wasn't going to let her know even if she didn't ask.

Fu Runing felt a tightness in her chest again.

She suddenly raised her voice angrily and vented her anger on the man in front of her.

"You and Yu Wanyin are flirting with each other. Aren't you afraid that I'll get jealous? If I don't ask, won't we be finished?"

Hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Wife, do you mean that we are not done yet?"

Fu Runing said awkwardly, "I didn't say that."

She got up and prepared to take a shower, not intending to talk to the bastard.

However, as soon as she stood up, the man behind her picked her up horizontally.

Fu Runing was in a panic and didn't know what was going on with him.

But she heard the man lean close to her ear and say in a low, magnetic voice: "I heard it. This is what you mean, honey, I help you take a bath?"

Fu Runing took a deep breath, then suddenly curled her lips and smiled at him.

"Xiao Ting, I don't need anyone to sleep with me today. I'm not feeling well."

The man also remembered this incident and looked a little embarrassed.

But he continued, "That's okay. I'm not looking for you specifically for that. Just sleeping with you is enough."

His voice was tender, "Wife, I want to stay by your side."
