Gu Yuxuan found herself jumping into the trap and it was getting harder and harder to tackle. It seemed like Zhuang Yaru was courteous on the surface, but she was actually more interested in Murong Yunxi.
"Um, about this..."
Just as Gu Yuxuan was brainstorming on how to solve the crisis, Gu Chengkang entered the room while being led by a waiter.
While Gu Chengkang was dressed formally, the small folds on his suit showed his difficult story easily.
"Oh my, I'm sorry for coming late, I've kept you all waiting. I rushed here once I got off the plane. This Xuan Xuan did not inform me earlier. When she told me, the earliest flight I could book was the one I just took." Gu Chengkang smiled and entered the private room. He bowed apologetically and went up to shake hands with Murong Haotian.
Murong Haotian also smiled and stood up to welcome him. "No such thing, we were not ceremonious, we should have settled an appropria
Murong Yunxi was feeling very perplexed. She had never heard Gu Chengkang mention the Murong Family, she wondered whether there was some sort of discord between Uncle Gu and the Murong Family. Gu Chengkang lifted his eyes to look afar as if his vision had transcended this space and time into another space and time and he wore an expression of melancholy and bitter resentment. Murong Yunxi walked up to the table and poured a glass of water for Gu Chengkang, handing it to him and said, "Uncle Gu, please drink some water." Gu Chengkang was whisked back to reality by Murong Yunxi at that moment. He turned to look at Murong Yunxi, but the look of melancholy remained in his eyes and he was unable to shake it off. Gu Chengkang took over the glass of water and sighed. Murong Yunxi looked at Gu Chengkang silently, not pressing him for an answer, nor did she try to console him. She was a generation younger than him, so she
Gu Yuxuan eyes became lifeless as if it had been covered with a layer of mist. She shook her head and said, "I'm alright!" "Xuanxuan, you have to tell me when you feel that you can't take the pain anymore. I will be by your side because I can empathize such pain." Gu Yuxuan nodded as a drop of tear rolled down her cheek into her hair in silence. "Xiao Xi, I would never abandon my father. You know how important he is to me. I've failed Murong Xu by giving him up. It only goes to show that he is not as important to me. I've failed him, I've failed him..." Gu Yuxuan kept repeating this until she burst out in tears. In a frenzy, Murong Yunxi tried to wipe away her tears, but to no avail. Gu Yuxuan's tears were like tap switched on that they kept coming. Eventually, even Murong Yunxi could not hold back her tears which was suffocating her, and she broke down in tears too. The two ladies sat
Murong Yunxi took a step forward, squatted and patted Murong Xu lightly on his shoulder and said, "Don't behave in this way, cousin, Xuanxuan would be very sad if she sees you like this." "..." Murong Xu responded to Murong Yunxi with more weeping. "It is the best for you to be separated now than later, cousin. If you insist on staying together, you'll be more devastated. You won't be happy together!" "Why? Why did you say we won't be happy together?" Murong Xu raised his brows and shot a piercing look at Murong Yunxi. "I can't reveal the reason to you, but please trust me that this is really the best solution." "How could you draw such a conclusion? You've found your happiness, is that why you don't want to see others find their happiness too?" "I can't help if you want to think in this way. You're not at your right mind now, so I won't argue with you." "I'm definitely in my right mind
Murong Yunxi heard the words. She was quite stunned: Jia Tianxin is going to give birth to her baby? She quietly calculated it in her heart. It was indeed close to Jia Tianxin's expected date of birth. Jia Tianxin was very likely to give birth to the baby at this time. "Is there anything wrong with her body..." Murong Yunxi asked in a tentative way. When she gave birth to her baby, she had a premature birth and big bleeding. At that time, she was to some extent at risk. She experienced the thrill of giving birth to a baby. "At present, no news from the hospital saying something went wrong about her. It is just that she has just had some contractions, and her child may be born tonight. She proposed to see Lian Can before she entered the delivery room." "Why do you come and ask for my opinion?" "For this person, I think you have more right to say." "..." Murong Yunxi fell into a moment of silence.
Cold sweat once again filled Jia Tianxin's forehead, and she looked at her lower body with horror. Lian Can saw the sudden change of Jia Tianxin, and she was shocked and her body was also covered by cold sweat. She stood up nervously and asked, not knowing where to put her hands, "What happened? What's wrong?" Jia Tianxin's stomach had a sharp pain. She bit her lower lip and said with a trembling voice, "Come on, call me a doctor. It seems that my water broke." "Water broke! I, I, yes, call the doctor! I will call the doctor..." Lian Can had been completely panicked. The common sense that she had learned online before, especially for delivery, had been forgotten quickly. At this moment, because of hurry and confusion, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet and her brain turned blank and stopped working. She just obeyed Jia Tianxin's instructions and ran out of the ward. She shouted while running, "Doctor,
Xiao Shi hurriedly handed the child to Lian Can, and turned to enter the delivery room again. Lian Can, who had just been excited, with a bright face, suddenly became panic. She wanted to catch up with the nurse, but the child behind her suddenly burst into tears. Lian Can lost her head and wanted to catch up but she had to turn around to look after the children behind her. She turned and looked at the little body, crying and waving his arms in the small pusher bed, and the powerful little ankles made the little quilt wrapped around her body messy. Lian Can looked at the soft and small body and wanted to get up and hold him, but she didn't know where to start. She hung her hands in the air and wanted to hug the baby but she didn't find the place to hold. At this time, a male doctor with glasses came over from the end of the corridor. He asked in a low voice, "Do you need help?" Lian Can
Today Hailian wore a dress designed by William Prune, the world-renowned American designer. That was a limited edition, only ten pieces in the world. She spent a lot of money on today's ceremony because she thought she was going to be a shoo-in for the awards. But she did not have that confidence for no reason. That film in which she participated was well-received. But if there were anything else that made her assured of her success, she herself was the only one who knew. Looking at Hailian's arousing dress, Murong Yunxi smiled faintly with disdain and contempt written all over her face. "No matter what, my dress shines because of all the precious diamonds, but yours shines because you are showing all the good stuff. So at the end, who knows who's gonna be a joke!" Hailian's face suddenly turned red. But it was not because she was embarrassed, but she was jealous of Murong Yunxi having all the diamonds on her dress. She was not
The host was rendered speechless after hearing the rather simple answer from Murong Yunxi. But she couldn't tell the audience that she didn't understand Murong Yunxi. To cover up her embarrassment, she chuckled. "It seems that the words of a writer are of great wisdom. Well, let's welcome Mr. Cheng Wanru, the famous playwright, to present the award." As a well-known senior playwright in this field, Cheng Wanru had produced numerous screenplays of quality and won multiple prizes. It's safe to say that he was an eminent figure in the industry. It was a great approval of Murong Yunxi's talents and a high honor for her to have him to present the award. Cheng Wanru wore a snow-white shirt, a pair of olive green trousers which were mostly seen in the military. He was a veteran, so he preferred military uniform on many occasions. Now having retired, he still liked the white shirt and the green trousers. Though advanced in age, he stil
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
