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
Blank was confused by Murong Yunxi's question. Why had she mentioned the F list for no reason? He turned to look at Murong Yunxi's beautiful black eyes, but the obscure light in her deep eyes amazed him. "F list! Of course I have heard of it! It's a very famous list in the United States which is updated every four years. The people on the list are god-like prominent figures in computer science. Ordinary people are not qualified to be on the list. It's an unofficial list that is organized spontaneously, yet it is still very authoritative. There are many computer gurus, hackers and expert programmers on that list. I don't know much about computers, but this is common knowledge." "Oh, who are the top ten figures on that list, Blank?" "Well, I haven't done any research on that, but they are certainly leading figures. The top 5 could be called grand masters in the industry." Blank was even more convinced that Murong Yu
Murong Yunxi was startled suddenly because the bomb had stuck to her hand. As time passed by, she felt despairing instantly. She was week as if her heart had been hollowed out. Sitting on the ground in despair, she looked at Murong Ye and Gong Yu with blank eyes. "Brother, Gong Yu, just leave this place now. It's too late! Make good use of the time left and run as far as you can." Gong Yu chuckled, looking extremely tender in his eyes. He crouched over and fondled Murong Yunxi earlocks. "Silly girl, I will be with you whatever happens." Murong Ye still looked serious. He took out a tiny Swiss army knife, which contained many small tools in it. He crouched, watching carefully the bomb in Murong Yunxi's hand. Blank also lost his head on seeing the current situation. He said hastily, "I'll go to ask for help." Then he ran away after saying this. Seeing what Gong Yu and Murong Ye were doing, Murong Yunxi
Murong Ye and his two fellows walked out, heading straight for their villa. On returning home, Murong Ye called in the family doctor, who simply dressed the wound on Murong Yunxi's hand. Knowing that it was merely a minor skin trauma, Murong Ye went back to the study. He closed the door, looking scarily sullen. He took out the phone and called Lisa, "Hello, Lissa, how's it going?" "Childe, they've been too cautious this time. No trace can be found." "What about that woman?" "She's dead!" "Dead? How could she die within such a short time?" "We've been following that woman as soon as she came out. She went directly to a nearby hotel, where she made a deal with a drug dealer and exchanged the drug with her chastity. But she died on the spot from taking excessive doses of drugs. That's about just ten minutes ago." "She died on the spot? This is so weird. Someone must have done
Zhuang Yaru had lost her head while she slapped Murong Xu. She had no idea what she was doing! Murong Xu narrowed his eyes slightly. He seemed to have experienced a strange feeling, as if he had been seeing through everything. Although a sarcastic smile formed at the corner of his mouth, the burning pain in his face made him feel quite relieved. "Well! Now that you slapped me, I don't feel sorry for you." After he uttered his last word, Murong Xu was planning to leave. Zhuang Yaru, who immediately felt completely at a loss, hurried over and grabbed Murong Xu's wrist. "Xiao Xu, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it; I didn't want to do that. Don't be angry." Murong Xu turned stern and sneered, "Whether you meant it or not doesn't matter. You've done it. Your slap makes this easier. I should be thanking you!" Zhuang Yaru's ankle had gotten injured, so she couldn't stand up. Thus, she had to hang herself up to ho
Zhuang Yaru was surprised by the sudden voice, so she looked at Murong Haotian in shock. Murong Haotian was confused when seeing her freaking out. "What's wrong? Why are you so surprised?" "Oh, nothing. I just didn't expect you to come in suddenly. And I was a little uncomfortable due to staying in Xiaoxu's room." "OK, after the doctor examines the wound on your feet, I'll take you back to your room." "Thank you. Haotian, if you have something to do, go ahead. You don't have to stay with me here. I'm fine. I just injured my ankle. It's not a big deal." "I'll wait for the doctor." ———— When Murong Xu hung up the phone, he was so sad and heartbroken, which made Murong Ye, who was video chatting with him, feel worried. "What's wrong?" "How ironic. He actually believed that woman! He's the man who had raised me for over 20 years, and he didn't believe me at all."
"Xuanxuan's mother?" Murong Yunxi was somewhat surprised when they talked about this woman. She never had a good feeling about Xuanxuan's mother. She had witnessed how Xuanxuan came out of the pain of losing her mother. She could not help thinking of the little girl who was so vulnerable back then. 20 years ago— At that time, she had just started kindergarten. There was a little girl in the class who cried a lot. Even if she was not crying, she would only hold a doll alone, sitting in a daze. Murong Yunxi felt sympathy for the little girl, so she didn't want to play with the other children and went to her side. "I'm Xiao Xi, what's your name? Let's play together." Murong Yunxi's childish voice carried a hint of cowardice because she was afraid of being rejected. But she really felt sorry for her. The little girl raised her head with her eyes full of sorrow, looking at Murong Yunxi. She had beautiful eyes, but now
Murong Yunxi was in a daze, "To see who?" "To be exact, I'm bringing Gong Yu and you to meet someone." Murong Ye lifted his eyebrows slightly, and gave Gong Yu a meaningful look. "Did I come to America, to meet people all the time?" "Yeah, sort of. But not all the time." Murong Ye's appearance of being deliberately mystifying made Murong Yunxi feel a little discontented. She pouted and frowned, saying in a little unhappy and angry voice, "Bro, are you doing this on purpose?" Murong Ye looked at Murong Yunxi, whom he thought was behaving in such a cute manner, smiled and said, "Xiao Xi, you already are a mother. Aren't you ashamed of behaving like this?" "I'm indeed a mother, but this doesn't involve my position as a mother! Don't change the topic and answer my question!" "Haha, I'm not bringing you to meet a nice guy later. Are you sure you want to find out now? It may affect your appet
Murong Ye curled the corner of his mouth into a light smile that contained enormous strength. His narrowed eyes were throwing off a dangerous dim light. Lisa and Fourth knew Murong Ye the best. Murong Ye's look overwhelmed them silently, as their boss hadn't showed that look for too long. Both of them lifted their eyes to look at Carl, showing sympathy for him. Carl seemed to have had a tough day. He deserved it! How dare he say that to the boss! Carl raised his eyebrows and looked at Murong Ye, carelessly giving him an ironic, contemptful smile. "Master Ye, don't you think you are everyone's master when others dare not fight with you? You should know that the bright period you are experiencing because of that event won't last for life. Today, everything changed. You are just a has-been!" Murong Ye lowered his eyes slightly. No one could see his expression now. They could only hear his frightening voice as if they were stationed in the icy lake at the bot
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
