Murong Yan had thought that she would get her father's praise if she made a meal for him proactively. At least, she would not be scolded for coming back late. However, her father's face changed color in an instant, which made her nervous.
"What am I doing wrong?"
The anger in Murong Haotian's eyes was getting more and more intense. He threw the chopsticks that he just picked up onto the table. The sudden sound almost scared her to jump up.
Murong Haotian had never been so angry at her, so she stuttered to ask nervously, "Dad, what, what am I doing wrong?"
Murong Haotian stared in anger, greatly frightening Murong Yan. "What? You ask me what you're doing wrong? As a girl, you dare to come back home so late, and even drink alcohol!"
Murong Yan turned pale and finally knew the reason why her father got angry after hearing Murong Haotian's words.
"Dad, I am sorry. Today's my friend's birthday. All of the
Murong Qingtian felt dizzy and his neck was sore. A smell of humidity surrounded his nose. Opening his eyes in shock, he looked at his unfamiliar surroundings. Looking around, he found that it was an empty room with nothing visible to indicate where it was. There was no light. A thick curtain covered the whole window with a faint light coming through it. Murong Qingtian quickly recalled his memories about what had happened in the morning. He could only remember that three cars had stopped him. As smart as Murong Qingtian was, he could absolutely figure out what had happened to him, but he did not know who the chief plotter behind this was. Murong Qingtian's limbs were tied, so he could not move. In this situation, he'd better just rest. Murong Qingtian calmed down at this moment, not trying to struggle unnecessarily and waiting for an opportunity quietly. He might as well close his eyes to rest, putting down all the worries tem
As an experienced man, Murong Qingtian was not very afraid when facing the dark muzzle and did not care about danger too much. Murong Qingtian chuckled with obvious sarcasm in his tone. "Haotian, you've really failed me! Considering the brotherhood between you and me, I do not want to believe that you would betray me. You really delivered me a blow! As your elder brother, I don't think I have done something bad to you. I have left all the industries of Murong Gang to you, but I did not expect that you'd be so greedy." Murong Haotian's face, which was twisted, looked fierce. "Don't pretend to be a good man in front of me. If you had not held back a trick or two years ago, how could you have made the Murong Family so big? You own more than us!" Murong Qingtian felt bitterly disappointed by Murong Haotian's words. His eyes were full of sorrow. "Haotian, what you said really broadened my horizons." Murong Qingtian no longer hoped t
Murong Haotian did not care about Murong Yunxi's words at the moment. He actually ignored her disdainful words. Murong Yunxi looked at Murong Haotian and raised her eyebrows, calculating how far Lu Yang had escaped with Murong Qingtian. They must have gotten in the car by now. In fact, on one hand, Murong Yunxi had not found a better way to retreat. On the other hand, she tried to buy more time for Lu Yang. "Second Uncle, how about you take me out? After I leave, you can take the time to go look for a doctor. Bleeding like this is awful. In fact, I am not afraid to waste time on you. I can afford the consequences. Can you, though?" Murong Yunxi said the truth. She roughly estimated that Murong Haotian had lost hundreds of CC of blood. If this continued, he might die of excessive blood loss. "..." Murong Haotian, who was reluctant to give in, fixed his eyes on Murong Yunxi and thought about whether he should let he
Murong Yunxi's safe return was a piece of good news to the people who had accepted her death, but Murong Qingtian's situation was undoubtedly a blow to everyone. While everyone was worried, Murong Qingtian's lawyer came. The lawyer, whose surname was Fang, was around 50 years old and had been cooperating with Murong Qingtian for 20 years. During these years, they had been like good friends. He was also one of the few friends that Murong Qingtian could treat with sincerity. Today, lawyer Fang came mainly for two purposes, one of which was to visit his old friend. Murong Qingtian's situation worried him a lot. After being friends for so many years, he would be really upset if Murong Qingtian actually passed away. As he grew older, friends around him passed away one by one, so he had become increasingly sentimental and lonely. His second purpose was to talk about Murong Qingtian's last will and testament to Murong Ye and Murong Yu
Fang Yan, who didn't know these two people, turned around to look at Murong Ye. Murong Ye was looking back at Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu blankly. Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu were so happy that they were stunned. They were just staring at those two people. Murong Ye couldn't help pushing Gong Yu's arm. He was puzzled as he asked, "Gong Yu, do you and Xiao Xi know these two people?" It took Gong Yu and Murong Yunxi a few seconds to react. Then, Gong Yu shouted excitedly, "Master! Why are you here?" Kuang Youzhi smiled blandly. "Well, I found your company. The people of your company told me you were here." Murong Ye saw that they knew each other and let them in. Fang Yan was ready to leave. When he saw they had visitors, he formally bade them goodbye and left. Kuang Youzhi and Baili Ziyi were invited inside by the other three and sat down on the sofa. Gong Yu took out two clean cups and poured
After that day, Kuang Youzhi slept for three days before he fully recovered. Murong Qingtian woke up that day. Although his body was very weak, he had managed to survive the doom. The whole family could finally stop worrying. Two weeks later, Murong Qingtian was discharged from the hospital. After this incident, Murong Qingtian looked much thinner than before. Fortunately, he was in a good mood and looked energetic. The day Murong Qingtian was about to leave the hosipital, Murong Ye, Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu all came to the hospital to take him home. Niannian had argued about coming with them, so they brought her as well. The little girl saw that everyone else was going, so she wouldn't stop until they took her too. Murong Yunxi hadn't stopped searching for the little girl's parents. However, the little girl had been reluctant to talk, so they couldn't get any information from her, which made it more difficult to find her paren
Murong Yunxi's sudden words surprised the whole family, who looked excited. Niannian seemed to be the most excited one. She took Murong Yunxi's arm, her big eyes twinkling and shining with a craving light. "Mommy, where are we going?" During this period, the little girl was extremely bored. When she heard that she could go out and play, she was very excited. In fact, her focus was not on the location. She was more interested in going out with Murong Yunxi. Before she got an answer, Niannian turned to the little girl and said, "Yanyan, have you ever travelled? We are going to another place to play. We have been to the beach on an island. We got there by plane, and it was a lot of fun. This time, Mommy will take us to play. Do you want to go?" The little girl's bean-like small eyes glinted, and her face expressed her eagerness. However, she just looked at Niannian keenly, without saying a word. Niannian looked at he
Murong Ye and the two kids didn't come home until it got dark. Besides, Yun Muxi was amazed that the two kids enjoyed themselves a lot that they returned home muddy. She thought that Murong Ye was way too competent, for Niannian never played in such a dirty form when she was with her. "Brother, are they your art products?" Murong Yunxi pointed at the two children, teasing with Murong Ye. It seemed that Murong Ye was in a good mood. He laughed livelily. "All right! Do you think I am gifted in art?" Murong Yunxi glared at Murong Ye and said, "Do you really think I'm praising you? Where is your self-knowledge?" After that, she took the two muddy kids to take a shower. Murong Ye sighed with emotion when he saw that Murong Yunxi go upstairs holding a kid in each of her hands. He thought that he and the two kids were really crazy for fun today, and he asked himself how could Murong Yunxi bring up the two k
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
