Murong Xu remained cold. He looked at the woman sideways as if looking at something he had no interest in at all. Even though he had noticed her embarrassed expression, he acted like it had nothing to do with him.
Upon sensing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more awkward, Zhuang Yaru stood up in a hurry to save the situation.
"Well, Xiaoxu, mind your attitude. You're really impolite. Don't make people laugh at you. Take a seat first!"
Zhuang Yaru tried to pull Murong Xu down as she spoke.
Murong Xu frowned slightly, looking even more displeased. However, for fear that Zhuang Yaru might lose face, he mimicked Zhuang Yaru and sat down reluctantly.
When he saw Murong Xu sit down, Zhuang Yaru sighed in relief silently. She smiled at the two women sitting across from her and said, "I'm sorry to embarrass you, Mrs. Fang. Xiaoxu doesn't behave this way under normal circumstances. I am to blame because I didn't
Gu Yuxuan enjoyed the warmth that she had long desired. It felt like they had been apart for a century and would never be willing to leave each other again. "Xu, I've missed you so much!" "We should have held on longer." "Xu, my father has approved of us getting married!" "Ah? Really?" —— Meanwhile, in Gu Chengkang's study... As he watched the couple downstairs embrace sweetly, Gu Chengkang smiled bitterly. Then, he turned back and walked away from the French window. Suddenly, his phone rang. He walked to the desk to pick up the phone but saw an unfamiliar number. "Hello?" "Is this Gu Chengkang?" A man's deep voice was heard from the other side. "Yes. Who's this?" "It's Murong Haotian." "Oh? What's up?""I'd like to talk to you about the children. Are you available to have a me
Gong Yu flew off on a business trip to Korea with Seventh Brother this afternoon while Niannian was picked up by Murong Qingtian. Only Murong Yunxi and Murong Ye were left at home. Murong Ye sat on the sofa with a laptop placed on his lap, reading through the documents as he watched television with Murong Yunxi. "Bro, if you have work to do, go to the study. You will be very distracted out here." "No worries! I'll keep you company. Now that only the two of us are at home, you will be very lonely by yourself." Murong Yunxi shifted her body and cozied up next to Murong Ye. As she clung onto Murong Ye's arm affectionately, she leaned her small head on Murong Ye's shoulder. "Oh! You truly are the Nation's Good Brother. It feels great to have a brother!" Although it was rare for Murong Yunxi to be coquettish, Murong Ye really liked the way she was playing coquettishly with him. His heart was filled with a
Murong Ye knit his brows suspiciously and asked coldly, "News? What news?" "Then, you are here for..." The woman at the front desk shivered as she looked at Murong Ye. Although he was handsome, he looked very scary. Murong Ye glanced at her. The neurotic look on her face made him feel sick. Thus, he directly walked past the front desk and moved toward the elevator. Murong Yunxi wanted to console the girl, who was obviously scared of Murong Ye. Thus, she grinned at her. "Just leave us alone. We'll go by ourselves." Then, she followed Murong Ye into the elevator. They went all the way to Jia Tianxin's ward. However, just as they reached the door, they heard the child inside crying loudly. Irritated by the crying sound, Murong Ye frowned. Murong Yunxi, who had experience nursing children, just slightly raised her brows, opened the door and walked inside. She saw nothing but the infant in t
"I'll raise the child!" The voice came from the door. Murong Yunxi and Murong Ye turned toward the door. There was no expression on Lian Can's face but her puffy, but her bloodshot eyes were filled with absolute certainty. She stepped inside and walked over to them, looking as if she had to exert great effort to make every step. She walked up to Murong Yunxi and brought the young child into her embrace. Having learned the basics of taking care of a baby in the past few days, she could now carry the child with ease. "Someone from my family will be here to take this child later. I'll settle Tianxin's matters. You can leave now." Lian Can sounded both apathetic and distant. Even though she wasn't blunt, it was obvious that she didn't welcome them anymore and wanted them to leave. "Lian Can, you can let us know if you need anything." Murong Yunxi looked calm but her gaze remained fixed on the child with faint sympathy
"Huh? Me, a bastard? You must be mad!" Gong Yu kicked the handbag that Murong Yunxi threw. Even though he didn't use much force, he was nonetheless trained in martial arts. The tattered handbag flew out, scattering all of its contents on the ground. Seeing this made Gong Yu feel a stab of regret. Still, he was unhappy. He turned around and entered the house with his luggage. The sense of feeling wronged surged inside Murong Yunxi. Her emotions were a complete mess. Tears started spilling from her eyes. She squatted down, hugged her legs, and started sobbing out loud. Mrs. Wang immediately ran out of the house after hearing the commotion outside. When she saw the disastrous scene and Murong Yunxi crying on the ground, she knew this was likely an argument between the couple. Still, she was just a servant and it wasn't her place to comment. After all, it was considered impropriety to poke her nose into her master's business. She q
Stunned, Murong Yunxi feigned displeasure and glowered at Gong Yu. "What do you think you're doing? Don't you dare think I'll let you off just like this!" Gong Yu flashed her an evil smirk as a crafty glint flickered in his pupils. He placed his lips close to her ears and spoke in a low, husky voice steeped in temptation. "You sure?" When his gentle breath caressed her ear, she felt a numbing current shooting through her whole body and reaching all the way to the soles of her feet. It was so powerful that it seemed to have taken away all of her strength at once, leaving her weak. Murong Yunxi was mildly vexed. This man was too cunning! He knew her too well; he knew all of her weaknesses. He pressed close onto her until her back was flat against the door. She had to force herself to keep a straight back and strain her neck to glare at Gong Yu. She was like an arrogant little rooster that refused to give in. However
"Didn't you agree before this? Why are you all coming out to object to my relationship now?" Murong Xu was surprised at Murong Haotian and Zhuang Yaru's response. Both had obviously given him their permission but Gu Chengkang had unexpectedly refused. Now that Gu Chengkang had finally agreed, it was their turn to say no. What did they want him to do? Why was his relationship with Gu Yuxuan so difficult? "We never expected the Gu family to be so unreasonable. Since they're so reluctant, why should we force them? It's not like we have a shortage of ladies wanting to marry into our family." "But Uncle Gu has agreed now!" "We want nothing to do with people who go back on their word." "Then aren't you going back on your word as well? Before you criticize someone, please reflect on your actions." "You disloyal brat! How dare you criticize your parents for a mere woman?!" "If you don't want criticism, you s
"Your chances of using them are almost 90%!" Murong Ye couldn't look any somber than if he had tried. Evidently, he had been suppressing his anger to the point that he was close to exploding. His pupils were cold and unreadable. "Huh, why? If that's the case, is there still a need for us to go to America?" Murong Ye's figure startled Murong Yunxi. This indicated that something bad would surely happen during their US trip. She became more and more anxious. Gong Yu was also looking at Murong Ye in astonishment. The glint in his eyes became even sharper. "Go! Of course, you must go!" Murong Ye looked far away into the distance as if he was looking through time and into another dimension. "Brother, do you know something? Tell us so we have some mental preparation at least." "Someone is losing their patience and is preparing to make a move. So they would be targeting you in America!" "Me? Who are you refe
