"But Mr. Murong, your daughter and granddaughter are fine now, aren't they?"
"Fine? You mean, should I wait for them to die and come to your family to order you to pay for their lives?"
"Of course not, Mr. Murong. Would the Murong Family please be mercy? As long as you release Can'er this time, I, Lian Feng, will undoubtedly assist the Murong Family with all strength."
"When the Murong Family was famous, no one even knew about the Lian Family. Do you think our Murong Family cares about your Lian Family?"
"The Lian Family has always done nothing against the Murong Family, and on several occasions has helped the Murong Family."
"Ha-ha, Lian Feng, aren't you trying to please the Murong Family and get more benefits?"
"Mr. Murong, is the Murong Family sure not to let my daughter go this time?"
"Lian Feng, do you think you would let go of someone who's going to hurt your daughter if this matt
Gong Yu hugged so tightly that Yun Muxi could even feel his heartbeat. Gong Yu's delicious light herbs smell came into her nose, and Yun Muxi loved the taste. She loved this smell from the first time she saw him. Over the years, the smell seemed to have penetrated the bone marrow. She sniffed greedily. Gong Yu finally loosened Yun Muxi, put his hands around Yun Muxi's shoulders, and gazed at Yun Muxi with his eyes, "Xiao Xi, I will give you happiness and a warm home for you and your babies. Maybe I can't let you enjoy the life of the rich as I did before, but I will still try my best to give you the best life." Yun Muxi looked at Gong Yu's shining eyes. There was only her in his eyes, and the reflection of her was very clear as if to tell her that he only had her in his eyes. Gong Yu laid down with Yun Muxi, tucked her quilt in, and lowered his head to print a kiss on her forehead. He got up and went to the other side of the bed, lifted the
The old lady's face was instantly plastered with guilt. She struggled as she supported her grandson to stand up. Thereafter, she explained to Gong Yu, "Sir, you might not know but Xiao Qi wasn't like this in the past. His parents have divorced because his father had a mistress. That vamp was prettier than his mother, so ever since then, he started hating all beautiful woman. As long as he sees one, he will think of ways to cause trouble for them. I brought him to a psychologist, but he wouldn't cooperate. So actually, he's a poor thing. He got separated from his mother at such a young age and his father only cares about the vamp. Other than giving Xiao Qi money, he doesn't care about him at all." "But this shouldn't be a reason for him to hurt others! Besides, my wife is now pregnant, what if something goes wrong?" The old lady looked at Yun Muxi and the guilt in her eyes became heavier. "I'm so sorry! Let Xiao Qi and I apologize and make it up to you. I'
The knife cut across Yun Muxi's slender finger and blood oozed out instantly. She felt a heart-wrenching pain. Upon hearing her cry, Gong Yu and Murong Qingtian rushed into the kitchen. Seeing her bleeding finger, Gong Yu's heart dropped and he quickly held her hand and placed the bleeding finger into his mouth. He gave her an intense stare. Murong Qingtian walked towards her and asked with a worried look, "How is it? Is it serious? Why were you so careless? " Yun Muxi shook her head gently. Her gaze caught the small head that stretched into the kitchen door. Yun Muxi's heart dropped. She could not care about her pain anymore. She pulled her hand away and ran towards the door. Yun Muxi ran towards the door and knelt down to look at Niannian. She spoke gently. "Sweetheart, were you worried about Mommy?" Niannian nodded and held Yun Muxi's hand. She started analyzing her hand and blood gushed out again. Niannian fro
Yun Muxi frowned, looking at Murong Qingtian, and asked confusedly, "Back to Murong Family?" Murong Qingtian took a sip of wine and said indifferently, "Yes, go back to Murong Family! You can't always drift outside. And accidents occurred frequently around you, which made me quite concerned about you always floating outside. It would be better if you come back." Yun Muxi still hesitated. She said, "But..." Murong Qingtian looked at Yun Muxi with some impatientness. He said, "Well, don't say but any more. Where do you find so many excuses? You are too hesitant about everything. You are too coy, always, not only to Gong Yu, but also to us. I don't know where your concerns come from, but I know that you should stay with your brother and let him train you. Hope you would be just like your brother, make decisions faster. But it's not all your fault. Drifting outside for so many years, with no one teaching you nor guiding you, now that you are bac
Murong Qingtian's face suddenly turned gloomy. His cold eyes swept to Murong Lanxi and said, "It's not your business to judge Xiao Xi." The faces of Gong Yu and Murong Ye looked bad equally. Gong Yu said coldly, "Having Niannian was an accident. We kept this child because Xiao Xi is kind. Although she has given birth to Niannian, Xiao Xi is still a self-respecting woman and hasn't done anything against morality. Niannian is my child and Xiao Xi is my woman. I don't want to hear anyone hurting her because of this." Murong Ye's complexion was as bad as the bottom of the pot. He denounced coldly, "If there is any doubt about Xiao Xi, come to me!" The maintenance of the three people for Murong Yunxi was obvious. It could be seen that Murong Yunxi's future status in the Murong Family would not be low, which made everyone take one more look at Murong Yunxi and dare not look down upon her. Murong Lanxi was swept by the t
Murong Yunxi turned her face away. Her cheeks were red, and her heart was like a galloping horse. It was messy and confusing. Gong Yu had always been lowering his head to give Murong Yunxi a bath. Suddenly he looked up and saw the face of Murong Yunxi, like a red apple, twisting her head to avoid him. Ripples of love suffused his heart. He threw the bath ball into the bath. He then picked up the shower, starting to wash Murong Yunxi. When he finally got to the end, he picked up the towel and handed it to Murong Yunxi and said, "Xiao Xi, do it by yourself." Murong Yunxi nodded, wiping the water on her body hastily, and then wrapping herself in a bath towel. She departed like escaping. However, just after arriving at the door, Gong Yu suddenly grabbed the arm of Murong Yunxi, pulled her into his arms and held her in his arms. Gong Yu put his head in the shoulder and neck of Murong Yunxi, sniffing the smell of the shower gel on th
Murong Yunxi quickly grabbed her bathrobe and tied it around her waist before jumping off the bed and running into the dressing room. Gong Yu looked at her and burst into laughter. ... At the airport. Yun Muxi carried Niannian in her arms and sat down on a chair as she waited for Gong Yu to finish checking in. A voice from behind called out, "Xiao Xi?" Murong Yunxi turned around and saw that it was Mou Yichen. She had not seen him for a very long time, and he had changed a lot. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight and the tiredness on his face was difficult to hide. Murong Yunxi was slightly surprised. "Yichen? You..." Mou Yichen looked into her eyes deeply. His gaze was full of sorrow; a long period of longing for someone. He seemed to have not expected to see her here too. After taking some time to register, he replied, "I'm on a business trip! I'm headin
Gong Yu put down his phone. Murong Yunxi asked first, "What do you need to ask me?" Gong Yu briefly summarized Seventh Brother's message. "Seventh Brother said that since we have to announce our marriage in the future, and Niannian will also gain exposure, he contacted a reality show for couples. He hopes that we can use the program to gain fans who support us to be together. By doing so, we can steer the news towards the positive side and there would not be too much negative impact." Yun Muxi did not like this kind of high-profile and exposure. Her initial reaction was to reject, but after thinking about it, she asked, "Then do we have to do anything on the show? Does it mean that if we go we can prevent any harm to Niannian?" "Seventh Brother said that this is a three-day-two-night activity. In every episode, the theme is different. Both the themes and the segments will be specially created based on the participants so we don
Lu Yang also saw Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu and also felt a little bit shocked. He stepped forward to greet them. "Xiao Xi, Gong Yu, why are you here?" Murong Yunxi looked at Lu Yang with a smile. Many years had passed by, the past had gone with the wind. Lu Yang was just one of her good friends and they seemed to be more comfortable in this way. "Yeah, we came for a movie, but I didn't like it, so we left before the ending!" Subsequently, Murong Yun turned to a woman behind Lu Yang who looked familiar. "Lu Yang, is this your...?" Lu Yang put on a bitter smile. "Oh, you know that I am in a situation of being forced to get married. This is a girl that my big brother introduced to me for a blind date." Lu Yang had nothing to hide because he had no intention to get married to this woman, so he shared his thoughts directly to avoid any misunderstandings, let alone he had no intention to make her his girlfriend. This woman did not rea
Twelve years later. "Luoluo, come to help me!" Lying face down on her big bed, Murong Niannian complained to her good friend through her mobile phone. She was simply so depressed inside. Yan Chuluo was Murong Niannian's best friend, and their friendship was very solid. Although Yan Chuluo was five years older than Murong Niannian, Murong Niannian, a mature girl, did not have any difficulty communicating with her. Their relationship was even more harmonious than those of her peers. "Well, my dear girl, I'm too busy to attend to you now. I even don't have any leisure for myself," replied Yan Chuluo, who was reading the latest military newspaper on a closestool. Yan Chuluo actually could not attend to her talented friend at the moment because she fell in love with a man. More exactly, she fell in love with him in secret only at one glance. "Well, you just went to receive military training. By the way, your grandfathe
S City— The doorbell was ringing outside. After finding that it was a courier delivering a parcel, Gu Yuxuan answered the door and signed for the delivery. After closing the door, Gu Yuxuan leaned against the door, overwhelmed by sadness. The express delivery belonged to Yun Muxi, which should be her admission letter according to the mailing address. However, Yun Muxi had disappeared for almost a month. Gu Yuxuan stood with her back against the door and slowly slid down on the ground as her tears kept falling down. Gu Yuxuan held the parcel and put one hand on her knees, covering her eyes with the other. Her tears streamed down through her fingers, and she cried silently. In fact, she had cried countless times this month. Father Yun had gone to Africa and kept working after arriving there, so that they were out of touch. Neither could she convey the news of Xiao Xi's disappearance to Father Yun, nor did she know how to tell oth
The bottle was in the shape of a gourd and was smooth and delicate. What was the most special part was the handle of the bottle, which was also made of a little gourd. The two gourds were cleverly connected by a vine. It looked like the bigger gourd was holding the small one while the small one wrapped onto the large one. The lip was the root of the vine, showing a natural and smooth combination. The bottle's shape was delicate and refined. Every detail showed unique ingenuity, subtly revealing a sense of tenderness in its mellow lines. The two gourds were like a mother and daughter. The mother showed her infinite love for her daughter, while the daughter relied on her mother. The two were made of crystal-white porcelain, while the vine was lush green with no extra impurities. Duanmu Gongyu opened the lid and extended his nose to smell it. A rich smell of wine rushed to him with a faint fragrance like a kind of flower. Duanmu Gongyu could not tell what it
Duanmu Gongcheng felt somewhat shameless upon seeing Duanmu Gongyu's shock, and he lowered his head to say, "It's my fault! I am too... I hope you don't blame me." Duanmu Gongyu felt happy to remedy the misunderstanding with his brother and nodded while saying, "I don't blame you, Big Brother. I have arranged for my people to deal with those bad guys. You don't have to be worried." Duanmu Gongcheng could not adapt to this change and still felt embarrassed at the moment. He said, "Third Brother, you've just come back, so I came to check on your injury. Since you're fine, I should not bother you. You're so tired after a long journey. Have a rest and I will come to visit you later." Then, Duanmu Gongcheng asked to leave in a hurry. Nanny Wu suddenly felt embarrassed when only Duanmu Gongyu, Yun Muxi, and she were there. She said in a hurry, "My Lord, you should have a rest and I will go to prepare food for you. You must not have e
After pausing for a moment, Duanmu Gongyu stared fixedly at Hei Ye as if he had something to say. Hei Ye was confused by Duanmu Gongyu's actions and wondered if he had a problem, but he dared not to ask Duanmu Gongyu if the fear that he would enrage Duanmu Gongyu, who had been in anger during the past several days. Looking as if he had made up his mind, Duanmu Gongyu cleared his throat and his face blushed as he said with an unnatural expression, "Hmm... it seems... Xiao Xi... is angry at me..." Duanmu Gongyu stuttered as he did not how to express his thoughts, but the long-lasting cold war between Duanmu Gongyu and Yun Muxi made Hei Ye understand Duanmu Gongyu's meanings at once. Hei Ye said to Duanmu Gongyu in embarrassment, "Your Highness, I didn't have any experience in dealing with girls, so, I don't exactly know how to solve this, but... usually, in such a situation, men should take the initiative to coax women. Don't feel shy to do th
Yun Muxi felt at ease enjoying such a peaceful and beautiful moment. Her parents had been busy with their work and left her alone at home since she was a child, and luckily, she had a good friend, Xuanxuan, accompany her; otherwise, she would have left a lonely life. She was quite satisfied that now Duanmu Gongyu accompanied her, took care of her, and loved her. She enjoyed the peaceful moment quietly. ... At sunset, the carriage arrived in Xinyang City. As soon as they entered the city, Duanmu Gongyu sensed something strange. He said to Hei Ye in a cold tone, "Hei Ye, put on your guards." Since Duanmu Gongyu always had a keen instinct, Hei Ye put on his highest guard at Duanmu Gongyu's reminder. Lan Yun surveyed around warily and looked out for everything that would happen. Hei Ye drove the carriage to a tasteful hotel, which was neither the biggest one nor the most luxurious one in the city. The reason why he chose such an in
Before walking long, Yun Muxi came across Duanmu Gongyu. She cast her anger behind her back and said to him happily, "Look, Gong Yu, I found a puppy. Isn't it cute?" Duanmu Gongyu was allergic to animals, especially furry ones. He measured the puppy with a frown and a look of disdain. As if the puppy had sensed Duanmu Gongyu's hostility against it, it barked at him in a wary way. Duanmu Gongyu furrowed his eyebrows even deeply. A long while passed, and he finally replied, "No, not at all. It is not that friendly to me." Yun Muxi defended the puppy hurriedly by saying, "No, it's just too small and afraid of strangers." In Yun Muxi's arms, the puppy barked at Duanmu Gongyu warily once again. Still in a frown, Duanmu Gongyu said in a cold tone, "It does look unfriendly. It warned me to stay away from it." Right then, the puppy barked at Duanmu Gongyu several times more in a warning way. Yun Muxi stroked
The time needed for an incense stick to burn passed by in the blink of an eye. Lan Yun indeed came over carrying two big handfuls of skewers. Since they were in the wilderness and they had never seen how modern-day skewers looked, although the skewers he made were somewhat close, it was still different from the modern-day ones. The wooden sticks were thick, and the meat cubes were also bigger. The shapes were not cut into long shapes as they do in the modern world. Lan Yun's skewers looked more like tanghulu. But Yun Muxi was still amazed that he could deliver such great results so quickly. "Lan Yun, if I bring you to where I came from, you could earn quite a lot just by making lu chuan! You're basically god-speed." Lan Yun felt awkward after hearing it. He had put in so much effort to equip himself with all these skills just for him to go there and make lu chuan? This Miss Yun had such a wild imagination. Hei Ye was very alert
