Chapter 21 Playing the victim to win back her son's heart

Murong Ting's heart tightened. He turned around and saw Kong Chi crouching and taking small steps, moving towards the door.

His lips twitched, and he could no longer care about saving face, blurting out, "Murong Chen, stop right there!"

Kong Chi's legs trembled in fright. "Who are you calling?"

"You had a serious illness the year you were born." Murong Ting said these words with stiffness and difficulty.

Kong Chi heard this seemingly random and incoherent statement.

For a moment, he was stunned.

Beside him, Lin Cheng was extremely anxious!

Young Master Ting, what's the use of just saying that the young master was sick?

He quickly stepped forward and pulled Kong Chi back: "That's right, young master. When you were first found... well, when you were born, you were very weak. When you had that high fever, your heart almost stopped beating."

"At that time, all the doctors in Jiangcheng were brought in by Young Master Ting to take turns to see you. Young Master Ting stayed by your side for three days and three nights without sleep. Later, you finally got rid of your fever, but Young Master Ting fell ill due to overwork. This illness has left him with a chronic condition, and he hasn't fully recovered yet!"

"You agree, right, Young Master Ting?"

Lin Cheng quickly gave Murong Ting a look.

"Cough cough..."

Murong Ting, with a sullen face, reluctantly coughed a few times in compliance.

Upon seeing this, Kong Chi thought to himself, "So this grumpy old man loves his son so much."

Could it be that his son later encountered some misfortune, which is why he mistook her for his child?

Alas, he has no father, and his son has died; they are all unfortunate people!

Thinking of this, Kong Chi's heart softened a little.

Lin Cheng had been watching Kong Chi's every move. Seeing the change in his expression, he excitedly whispered to Murong Ting, "Young Master Ting, it worked!"

Murong Ting naturally saw it too. He took a deep breath and continued, "When you were three years old, you beat our nanny's grandson until his nose bled, just because he pulled a hair from your head."

“When you were four years old, you drew a turtle on your great-grandfather’s face while he was taking a nap, which made him very embarrassed.”

"In the same year, we found seven tutors for you, all of whom came in standing up and left lying down, because you made them so angry that they ended up in the hospital."

Lin Cheng rubbed his hands together: "..."

Young Master Ting, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were laying out your crimes here!

He quickly added, "Yes, young master, you're young and fun, but you have no idea how much trouble Young Master Ting has gone through behind the scenes! The child you hit was bleeding profusely, and Young Master Ting had to pay a huge sum in medical expenses."

"Those seven tutors are all well-known figures in the education circle. To settle this matter, Young Master Ting didn't know how many favors he had to offer them, and he even personally went to apologize."

Kong Chi: "..."

So, is the irritable uncle's dead son more infuriating than his sister?

He suddenly felt some sympathy for him.

Seeing that he had clearly softened his expression, Lin Cheng quickly signaled Murong Ting to add fuel to the fire.

Murong Ting cleared his throat and continued, "This house is over 300 square meters, and there are only the two of us."

Lin Cheng was about to faint. Even though he was very perceptive, he was almost unable to figure out what Ting Shao was trying to say!

After racking his brains, he finally grasped the key point and hurriedly said, "Young Master, you and Young Master Ting have relied on each other since you were little. Young Master Ting has worried a lot about you and spent a lot of money. Now, even though you live in such a big house, Young Master Ting still owes the bank a lot of money and has hundreds of millions of yuan in mortgage debt!"

Murong Ting coughed lightly, indicating that he had gone a bit too far.

Lin Cheng was immersed in his emotions, and even tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

He stared at Kong Chi with longing eyes, as if he would be an unforgivable and unfilial son if he really left!

Looking at Murong Ting, Kong Chi felt for the first time, "Wow, this uncle really has it tough."

Her son died, and she was all alone.

I'm so heartbroken I'm admitting my mistake!

Kong Chi was completely moved, his eyes filled with heartache.

Lin Cheng knew the time had come!

He quickly said, "Young Master, I understand that you desperately want to find your mother, but after all, Young Master Ting is in such a miserable state right now. If you leave him, he won't be able to survive! Can you bear to let your father, who loves you so much, die like this?"

Kong Chi: "..."

Although she didn't understand how she had inexplicably ended up with a life on her shoulders, looking at Murong Ting, it was as if something in the dark was drawing her in, and she really felt a pang of heartache.

After a long pause, he sighed softly, his voice still childish: "Well, how about I stay here for the night? But you have to promise me you'll let me go home first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Also, you need to tell my mommy about what's going on here, so she doesn't worry!"

Upon hearing that Kong Chi wasn't leaving, Lin Cheng was almost overjoyed and cried tears of joy!

Beside him, Murong Ting also breathed a sigh of relief.

One night is enough. Tonight, he will completely eliminate Kong Wange, this "hidden danger"!

Of course, he would never reveal any of this to his children.

He simply exhaled and said, "Okay, I promise you. Now you can go back to your room and sleep?"

Kong Chi nodded, then, as if remembering something, he looked up and asked Murong Ting very seriously, "Since you can't live without me, do you want to sleep with me?"

Murong Ting was stunned.

His son has been insisting on sleeping alone since he was two and a half years old, and they haven't shared a room since...

This was the first time in a long time that he had wanted to sleep with her.

His heart softened involuntarily, and the bitterness he felt earlier vanished in an instant.

What good is Kong Wange no matter how good she is?

Can she even sleep while cuddling her own son?

His mood brightened, and he immediately took his son's little hand and said, "Come on, Daddy will sleep with you!"

Kong Chi: "..."

This uncle's acting up again; he's randomly claiming sons again -_-||

——

Murong Ting felt good about himself, unaware that his eldest son was currently pestering Kong Wange to tell him a bedtime story in bed.

As one story after another unfolded, the little one beside me remained radiant with excitement.

Kong Wange had another headache.

"Sweetie, tell Mommy the truth, were you scared today and are you afraid to sleep alone?"

Murong Chen originally wanted to say no, but then he thought, if he said no, would Mommy stay with him?

So he quickly put on a pitiful look and said, "Yes, yes, I get scared when I close my eyes, Mommy, please put a sticker on me..."

Kong Wange patted his little head affectionately and said, "It's Mommy's fault for not thinking things through. How about Mommy calls your sister over and has her come and keep you company?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Chen felt the fairy tale instantly turn into a ghost story!

He sat up abruptly and quickly shook his head: "Mommy, Mommy, don't call her anymore, I'm not afraid anymore!"

Kong Wange frowned: "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? It seems you're really frightened. You and your sister are usually the closest!"

After saying that, she made a move to get up and call Kong Ran.

Murong Chen grabbed her wrist and immediately pretended to be sleepy, "Mommy, really, it's not necessary... I'll go to sleep now!"

That night, he learned through his own blood and tears what it meant to "lift a rock only to drop it on one's own foot!"

Next, Murong Chen obediently closed his eyes.

Before long, her breathing became even, and she seemed to have really fallen asleep.

Kong Wange breathed a sigh of relief, tucked him in, and quietly got up and left the room.

Shortly after she left.

Inside the room, Murong Chen's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, his expression brightening.
