Gong Yu entered the elevator, took a deep look at Yun Muxi and stood beside her.
At the moment Tong Nan saw Gong Yu, her eyes lighted up. He was really handsome and manly. Tong Nan could not shift her starry eyes from Gong Yu and raised her blue eyes to follow Gong Yu like a spotlight. Although Tong Nan was 1.78 meters high, Gong Yu was 1.85 meters high, so he was much higher than her. She just lifted her head to look at him, even Yun Muxi standing between them could not hinder her because of Yun Muxi's height disadvantage.
With a bright, infatuated smile, Tong Nan asked, "Handsome man, which floor do you go to?"
Gong Yu answered coldly, "The same, 25th."
Tong Nan asked with a bigger surprise, "Sister Xiao Xi, he lives on the same floor with you!"
Yun Muxi replied indifferently, "Yes, he lives opposite to me, a newcomer here."
Tong Nan said with envy, "Woo, a handsome man is living opposite to you. Sister Xiao Xi, you really have romance luck. I envy you indeed."
Yun Muxi felt speechless inwardly without making any reply to Tong Nan. Tong Nan did not care at all because all of her attention was focused on Gong Yu. She just stared at Gong Yu obsessively.
Soon, the elevator reached to the 25th floor and opened with a ring. Yun Muxi took Tong Nan's hand to walk out of the elevator first while Tong Nan seemed to be reluctant to go. She turned around and stared at Gong Yu again. Observing Gong Yu striding step by step toward his home, Tong Nan spoke to Gong Yu suddenly, "Hey, handsome man, do you want to have dinner with us? The more people, the happier."
Gong Yu, who had overlooked Tong Nan, looked back at Tong Nan and Yun Muxi upon hearing Tong Nan's invitation.
But Yun Muxi did not turn around and rejected immediately, "Xiao Nan, we're not so familiar. I'm afraid that's not good."
Unwilling to give up, Tong Nan said, "But, Sister Xiao Xi, is he your neighbor? Neighbors can become familiar through more interactions. Am I right? Handsome man, come and have dinner with us."
Tong Nan did not consider herself an outsider at all and extended the olive branch to Gong Yu again, eager to invite him to have dinner together.
Gong Yu was overjoyed inwardly at Tong Nan's invitation, so he strode toward Yun Muxi's home.
Tong Nan was more excited when she found that she succeeded in inviting the handsome. She took Gong Yu's arm anxiously to Yun Muxi's home. Grasped by Tong Nan, Gong Yu felt displeased with a sullen look. He pulled out his arm quietly, stepped forward to take the shopping bag in Yun Muxi's hand and followed Yun Muxi to her home.
No sooner had they entered than Niannian trotted from the bedroom to the door and threw herself into Yun Muxi's arms. Yun Muxi squatted down and held Niannian. Niannian gave a kiss on Yun Muxi's face delightedly. Before she was about to talk, she found Gong Yu behind. Without hesitation, Niannian cast her mother aside and ran to hold Gong Yu's legs. She raised her head, winked her big eyes and looked at Gong Yu with a sunny smile.
Gong Yu had never contacted with a kid so intimately, especially when he had a grudge against Niannian. So he did not know what to do for a moment. But the little kid said with great excitement, "Uncle Gong, please crouch down and let Niannian give you a kiss."
Gong Yu felt unprepared upon hearing it. Rather than follow Niannian's words, he frowned his eyebrows and bowed his head to stare at Niannian.
Yun Muxi straightened her face instantly and said soberly, "Niannian, don't do that. Loosen your hands."
Niannian failed to kiss Uncle Gong who she had longed for and was criticized by her mother. She felt quite aggrieved. So she clenched her hands to hold Gong Yu more tightly and her watery eyes were full of tears. She looked rather pathetic.
Seeing Niannian behaved like that, Gong Yu felt it was too harsh for a child and could not bear it any longer. He put the shopping bags aside, squatted down and held Niannian gently. Sensing this, Niannian hurtled herself into Gong Yu's arms and cried in injured tone.
What Yun Muxi feared most was Niannian's tear. Fortunately, Niannian was always obedient and sensible, and seldom lost her temper willfully, let alone burst into tears. Therefore, her heart softened immediately when seeing Niannian cry.
Although Gong Yu did not like children too much, and Niannian in particular, he could not bear Niannian's pitiful sob and his heart softened. He wiped Niannian's tears awkwardly. However, the little girl cried more bitterly, which made Gong Yu flustered. He hugged Niannian and raised his eyes to cast a stern glance at Yun Muxi.
Tong Nan was startled by the scene and was in a daze for a long time before she recovered herself. She pointed at Niannian and exclaimed, "Sister Xiao Xi, this kid is..."
Before Tong Nan finished her question, Gu Yuxuan ran out of the bedroom on hearing the cry, only to see Niannian was all tears in Gong Yu's arms. She also asked in surprise, "Xiao Xi, what's wrong with Niannian?"
With so many confusing questions, Yun Muxi touched her forehead helplessly and did not answer them. Instead, she squatted down and immediately comforted Niannian, "My dear Niannian, come to Mommy. Don't cling to Uncle Gong. You've soiled Uncle Gong's clothes."
Because it was Yun Muxi's reproach that made Niannian cry, Niannian had regarded Yun Muxi as a hostile person at the moment, totally ignoring Yun Muxi, and continued to hide in the Gong Yu's arms, crying bitterly and loudly.
However, Tong Nan was completely stunned by the word "mommy" from Yun Muxi. Her eyes widened and she asked in astonishment, "Sister Xiao Xi, you said mommy. So this kid is your..."
Before finishing the words, Tong Nan was surprised to see that the little girl resembled Yun Muxi, like a scaled-down version. It seemed obvious.
Tong Nan continued to ask, "Sister Xiao Xi, won't you graduate this year? You haven't got married. How can you have such a big child?"
Yun Muxi did not reply but reached out for Niannian, trying to take her away from Gong Yu's arms. Unexpectedly, the little girl held Gong Yu's clothes tightly, cried and sobbed pitifully and breathlessly.
Niannian seldom cried and lost her temper, but today, she was extremely abnormal. And Yun Muxi found it difficult to cope with her daughter's unusual behavior. When seeing her precious baby sobbing like that, she could not calm herself down but wanted to cry as well. Gu Yuxuan also approached, squatted down and tried comforting Niannian. But today Niannian seemed to listen to no one but Gong Yu.
Seeing this, Gong Yu could not bear Niannian's weep and softened inwardly. He lifted up Niannian and walked to the sofa directly past Yun Muxi and Gu Yuxuan.
While passing by the tea table, Gong Yu extracted two pieces of paper from the paper-drawing box. He went straight to sit on the sofa and placed Niannian on his thigh. He wiped off her tears and snots gently and coaxed her tenderly, "Lovely Niannian, don't cry. Shall I play with you?" Niannian said while sniffling, "Uncle Gong... will... play with Niannian... all the time... will you..." Gong Yu nodded gently and continued to coax her tenderly, "Well, as long as you don't cry and behave well, I'll play with you once I'm free. Don't cry, Niannian." Niannian nodded her head gently and sobbed as she said, "Let... Let's... make... a pinky promise..." Then, she reached out her pudgy hand to him with four fingers bending and the pinkie stretching. Gong Yu stared blankly at her and his face hardened. Then, he followed Niannian to hook her pinkie. Niannian smiled and continued to sob as she said, "Let's... make
Niannian thought Gong Yu did not reply because he could not agree. Then, she lowered her small head and said quietly, "Uncle Gong, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. My mummy said that you would not agree. I'll still call you Uncle Gong." Upon hearing this, Gong Yu became softhearted as if the softest place in his heart was prickled badly with bleeding. Especially when he saw Niannian's miserable appearance, he did not know how to refuse. He answered in a low voice, "Niannian, as long as you're happy, you can call me whatever you want" Suddenly, her little face was as bright as sunshine, which lit up his heart. Gong Yu smiled faintly which was extremely warm. Seeing that, Niannian was happier and asked with surprise, "Daddy Yu, you're so pretty when you smile." Niannian called smoothly. She sounded like a copper bell, echoing in his mind for a long time, which made him look colored and dazzling. Just then, Gu Yuxuan appear
Gong Yu grasped Yun Muxi's wrist and looked at her nervously. He lifted her up with a princess hug and ran to the faucet in the restroom, washing her hand with cold water. Yun Muxi felt a terrible pain with her tears trickling down her cheeks. Her mind went blank, so she paid no attention to Gong Yu's tension and intimacy. Gu Yuxuan was also worried. She ran to the tea table and search things in a medicine cabinet. After finding the medicine for scald, she ran into the restroom and passed the ointment and gauze to Gong Yu. After receiving the ointment, Gong Yu held Yun Muxi to the sofa in the living room and laid her down cautiously. He got down on one knee, holding the red and swollen blistered hand, and gently blew while applying ointment to the hand with great care. He was so gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure. He knitted his eyebrows tightly and his eyes were full of tender affection. Niannian was panic-stricken when she saw her mummy hurt. She was
Ding Sisi was always a little self-important, so she did not take the scene seriously. While shooting for the first time, the Director called a "cut" directly because of her empty eyes. Director Zhao reminded her in a low voice, "Ding Sisi, why are your eyes empty? You're not playing a dying man. You should be surprised and maladaptive to the sudden change. You should be a little flurried, panicky, and confused. After leaving Mu Lengyu, you must have so many mixed emotions. Think about it and let's do it again." Then, they began to do it again. Ding Sisi shed tears sadly and her performance was emotional. But the Director called a "cut" once again. Director Zhao reminded her again, "Ding Sisi, you have just known Mu Lengyu, so your relationship is vague. You should not cry so badly." She performed for the third time. Ding Sisi opened her eyes in a panic. The Director called a "cut" once again. Direc
Gong Yu whispered to Zhao Yi, and then Zhao Yi responded with a look of hesitation. And Gong Yu added something. Zhao Yi contemplated for seconds and nodded his head finally. Director Zhao stood up, clapped his hands and called loudly at the crew, "Stop and come here for a moment." Hearing the call, all the crew came up to Director Zhao, forming a circle with Zhao Yi in the center. Sitting dismissively on the edge of the film set, Ding Sisi did not move at all. Instead, she lifted her right hand and examined the manicure she just had yesterday, as if she had heard nothing. With a haughty look, she threw a slanting glimpse at the crowd around Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi raised his eyes to glance over the filming site to check whether all had gathered together. Unexpectedly, he found that Ding Sisi was still in the distance. Anger rose instantly in his heart. He withdrew his glance and coughed lightly. Ding Sisi was totally elated in her heart, and a
When Gong Yu saw Amy holding her hands and thinking something else as looking at the phone, he asked, "What's wrong?" Amy put the phone aside and answered softly, "Ding Sisi is really funny. She dared to order me to deal with it carelessly." Upon hearing it, Gong Yu became sullen and said deeply, "Ignore it. And do you own thing carefully." Amy could not help arching her eyebrows and joking, "What? Handsome guy, why did you stand up for Yun Muxi like that? Do you like our screenwriter?" Yun Muxi was surprised at these words and said in disagreement, "Oh dear, Sister Amy, don't make fun of me. It's not good if others hear that." Gong Yu coughed lightly and pretended to be indifferent. He headed down to a magazine and said in a deep voice, "We don't have enough time. Please get started!" After being reminded, Amy came to herself and got into gear quickly, throwing herself into doing m
Yun Muxi was quite timid and said waveringly, "Director, I'd better not. I have never acted before!" Zhao Yi was still in the excitement and comforted with a laugh, "Xiao Xi, it's okay. Take it easy. You just help Gong Yu to play. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We haven't replaced the female protagonist with you." In fact, Zhao Yi thought, "If she acts well, I can let her have a try. After all, her image is very good." On second thought, he was a little disappointed. "She is just a screenwriter. How could she perform well? I thought about it too simply." Seeing Yun Muxi still boggling, Gong Yu lowered his head and muttered, "If you want this play abortive, quit it." Hearing the word "abortive", Yun Muxi made up her mind instantly and allowed Gong Yu to lead her to the room where the scene had been set. At the moment, a crowd of people entered the filming site, found Ding S
The black Bentley drove so fast that a sudden brake could not stop it, but continue to charge, almost hitting Yun Muxi... A young soldier beside leaped over a car and dashed toward her like a flash light. He held Yun Muxi in his arms and rolled sideways. That hurtling car squeezed past them and halted two meters in front of them finally. Fortunately, the soldier rescued her in time. But for his agility and fast speed, Yun Muxi had been certainly knocked down by the car. The picture that both of them were flying away like a parabola made people around close their eyes. They heard the sound of suddenly braking, but not the clang of crashing and falling down. So they opened their eyes with curiosity, only to find that the woman who had dashed around madly was in a man's arms, lying two meters diagonally behind the black Bentley. The man was dressed in an army uniform. Because of Yun Muxi, the crossing was in a mess with the serious traffic jam. In the black
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
