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
Gong Yu's smile made the hair rise in Murong Yunxi's heart. With a jerk, she attempted to break free from Gong Yu's iron grip. However, she did not anticipate their great disparity in strength and ultimately, her efforts were futile. Eventually, she could only force a smile and fawn over Gong Yu. "Hubby, it's my fault. I'll stop groping around randomly. Who made you look so handsome? I simply couldn't restrain myself for a moment." "Oh? You like it?" "Hahaha... I like it. Of course I like it! My husband looks so handsome. Who wouldn't like a handsome man?" "Oh? As long as it's a handsome man, you'll like it?" "Of course. Oh, no! No, I meant that in my heart, nobody is more handsome than you. Other people are only passing clouds. I only love you!" "You only love me? All right then! Prove it through your actions!" "Prove it through my actions? How can I prove it?" In her hea
Murong Ye looked up at the door. A man with long hair came in, wearing a black trench coat, followed by two men in black suits. His long hair was tied behind his head. Wearing black sunglasses, the man was above average in height, which made him taller than Murong Ye and Gong Yu. Dressing in all black showed his cold nature, just like an insulator, and his presence could easily drive people away. "When I heard that Big Master Murong had come here, I thought my men were wrong. I didn't expect that it was really you." The man had a unique accent of foreigners speaking Chinese. Apparently, he couldn't speak Chinese very well. Not only was his pronunciation not standard, but his sentences also had some grammatical errors. Murong Ye narrowed his eyes, and the atmosphere around him seemed more gloomy and cold. A smell of Death once again filled the air, making Murong Yunxi feel a little chilly. "Ken, what are you doing here!" Murong
As Gong Yu was standing still, Murong Yunxi wagged her long forefinger at Gong Yu and asked, "What are you thinking? Did you actually not sleep last night and did something you shouldn't have?" "Ah? What could I do?" Gong Yu coughed lightly, but the instant embarrassment on his face was observed by Murong Yunxi. Murong Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly and pinched Gong Yu's chin with one hand. "Tell me! What did you do while I was sleeping?" As Gong Yu hesitated, a knock was heard at the door. He got up and opened the door. Outside the door was Murong Ye, who had dressed up. He looked at Gong Yu a little seriously and whispered, "We will set out in advance today. You and Xiao Xi need to get out quickly." "Why? Is there something wrong?" "Right. Because of what happened last night, I've changed our schedule for catching the person playing tricks behind our backs..." Murong Ye looked at Go
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
