"Mr. Gong, you've harassed me like this several times. What are you driving at? If you act like this again, I will ask the police for help!" Yun Muxi looked cool and said fiercely.
"Ho-Ho... harass! You dare to threaten me!" Gong Yu said in a deep voice. Then, he smiled evilly, which made Yun Muxi more uneasy.
"Mr. Gong..."
Before she finished speaking, Gong Yu kissed her with his cold lips fiercely. She only felt pain on her lips and began to struggle up. He held her two fine and slim hands so that she was no longer able to struggle.
Yun Muxi wanted to beg for mercy several times but she was unable to speak. She wanted to bite him but he was always able to keep away from her skillfully.
She was anxious and burst into tears while Gong Yu was irrational and turned a blind eye to her. She was unable to resist or struggle, so she closed her eyes desperately...
Just then, the door slammed with a "bang", which disturbed them. She was sober and panic-stricken. She pushed Gong Yu away with abashment and resentment.
Three figures including two adults and one child suddenly appeared at the door and looked at them surprisingly. They were alarmed and bewildered, which let the three people fall into a reverie. As if they had an illicit love affair, Seventh Brother and Gu Yuxuan felt embarrassed.
The innocent Niannian smiled happily as she saw her mother. She opened her arms to come over and held Yun Muxi's thighs. She raised her little head, blinked her big eyes and said with a clear voice, "Mummy, I've been waiting for you at home for a long time. What are you doing at the uncle's house?"
The kiddy's immature words made the atmosphere awkward. Yun Muxi blushed as she held Niannian, saying with a guilty conscience, "Niannian, let's go home. It's time to take a bath and go sleep. Mummy will take you back to take a bath."
She dared not lift her head but held Niannian to leave Gong Yu's house as fast as she could. Gu Yuxuan smiled awkwardly at the two people, said goodbye hurriedly, and went back behind her.
There were only Gong Yu and Seventh Brother in the house. Gong Yu felt wronged because he was interrupted at a critical moment. Burning with anger, he glared at Seventh Brother.
With a guilty conscience, Seventh Brother could not look straight into Gong Yu's eyes. He said tensely, "The... the tiny creature is in the hotel. I will go to take it here and check out. You'd better take a bath and sleep early."
Then, Seventh Brother escaped from Gong Yu's house as quickly as possible.
There was only Gong Yu in the empty house. He threw himself into the big bed and beat the soft bed with clenched fists, receiving no pain. Gong Yu could not vent his anger but run to the washroom helplessly and take a cold bath. In doing so, he thoroughly recovered his sense.
...
After she went home, Yun Muxi carried Niannian to the washroom directly and prepared a pool of hot water to bathe Niannian. She finally calmed down. After she hushed Niannian to sleep, she dimmed the bedside light and left the bedroom.
When she closed the door and came out, Gu Yuxuan was sitting on the sofa and looking at her quizzically. Yun Muxi rubbed her eyebrows, went over and sat beside Gu Yuxuan. They grew up together, so she had already known that Gu Yuxuan could not wait to know what happened.
Yun Muxi appreciated Gu Yuxuan very much because Gu Yuxuan always humored her. Even if they were friends who could talk about everything, she never complained to her. She always waited quietly until the day she was willing to speak out.
However, at this moment, Yun Muxi was not intended to hide from her. She just had not figured it out. What and how should she say to her. But now, even if she did not want to say, at least, she should tell her who he was.
Therefore, she turned to Gu Yuxuan and said, "He is Gong Yu! But, you should treat those things like a dream. Now, we just meet by chance. He is an actor and I'm a scriptwriter. We are not related! Oh, yes, he is my new neighbor. That's all! I only want to live a simple life with Niannian."
As she finished speaking, Yun Muxi went straight to the table and began to clean the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing that Yun Muxi didn't want to have a further discussion, Gu Yuxuan knew everything.
She knew Yun Muxi very well. If she did not want to say, nobody could force her. Therefore, she did not plan to push her. More importantly, she did not want to force her to open up the old wound on Yun Muxi's heart.
She knew the thing which hid in her heart must be her pain. Otherwise, she would not try to conceal it desperately.
Since that thing happened five years ago, Yun Muxi told Gu Yuxuan everything at first. But, one year later, when she came back, she buttoned her lips. Gu Yuxuan had no idea about what had happened in the end. Yun Muxi blocked it from her memory so that nobody could talk about it.
That should be a knot in her heart. No one could undo it except the one who made it. Otherwise, everything is in vain. As an old saying goes: it is better for the doer to undo what he has done.
Besides, what would happen to them depended on themselves.
Hearing the first sentence, Gu Yuxuan suddenly realized that it was him.
When she found out the truth, she was extremely curious, even if she wanted to wait for Yun Muxi to tell her voluntarily.
She really wanted to know: Why was Gong Yu here? What was his purpose? What was the knot between them? What was Yun Muxi thinking at this moment? What happened to them? Was it possible that Yun Muxi would answer...
As problems kept popping out, Gu Yuxuan scratched her head. She felt extremely itchy and uncomfortable as if there were bugs crawling about.
When she saw Yun Muxi's expression, she could not ask anything. She was so entangled that she was going to cry.
Although she had seen Gu Yuxuan's petty action, Yun Muxi acted as nothing had happened.
Gu Yuxuan finally decided to call up all her courage to put forward questions.
Yun Muxi seemed to see through Gu Yuxuan's thoughts. Before Gu Yuxuan spoke out, Yun Muxi said directly, "Curiosity killed the cat. You'd better keep your curiosity to yourself!" Seeing that hopes had been dashed, Gu Yuxuan fell into the sofa disappointedly like a "Beijing repose". She looked sluggish as if she was declaring her dissatisfaction in this special way. Yun Muxi knew Gu Yuxuan's temper, so she ignored her and went to the kitchen. She cut fruit, warmed a cup of milk, and brought out the food to the tea table. Gu Yuxuan didn't want to talk to her, so she tilted her eyes. Yun Muxi turned on the TV set unconcernedly. She switched the TV channels while eating fruit. The fruit fragrance gradually pervaded in the air. Besides, Yun Muxi munched on as if she was enjoying it very much. Seeing this, Gu Yuxuan was drooling and she could not help grabbing the fruit fork from Yun Muxi and gulping it. ... The next day
Yun Muxi said with a pretended lightness, "Hey, she's just a kid. Maybe Niannian just likes his handsome face. You know she is a typical face obsessed." Yun Muxi took out bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen. She said softly, "Hurry up to wash your hands and have a meal. The food is getting cold." Mou Yichen lowered down and spoke to Niannian tenderly, "Niannian, let's go to wash hands. We're going to have a meal." Niannian nodded tamely and bounced to wash hands with Mou Yichen. Seeing Mou Yichen treat Niannian gently, Yun Muxi sighed lightly, with a helpless expression. After washing hands, the three people sat at the dining table. They got along with each other in harmony like a family. Mou Yichen picked up food for Niannian and Yun Muxi. Yun Muxi responded with a warm smile while Niannian ate obediently, looking at them from time to time, with a bright smile. The warm picture was interrupted by an explosion of che
Zhao Yi glanced at He Xin after he finished his sentence and the latter swiftly added, "That's the case. Old Zhao always enjoyed a good reputation in the circle. His character, talent, and fame are all acknowledged. Old Zhao would always work with reliable people and that's one of the reasons why he's so likable. If he makes an exception and employs Ding Sisi, I'm worried that it'll bring an adverse impact on the entire film production. Not only will that ruin Old Zhao's reputation, but also the whole film. So we're worried about using her." Frowning, Yun Muxi began to carefully ponder about this issue. Then she said calmly, "I'm not familiar with what's going on inside the circle and I don't usually pay attention to it either. Now that I've heard you both, I really have no idea who to choose." Seeing as Yun Muxi did not offer them a good suggestion, Zhao Yi turned to look at Gong Yu. "What about you, Gong Yu? What do you think?" Go
Gu Yuxuan laughed cheerfully and patted her chest. "It's no problem at all! I'll just be writing my thesis this semester. I don't really have anything on at the moment. Just leave Niannian to a great idler like me." Yun Muxi flashed her a grateful smile. "Hm. I've already registered Niannian in a kindergarten. She can stay there during the daytime and you'll just have to help pick and drop her off. Of course, if I have the time, I'll do it myself." Gu Yuxuan lovingly caressed Niannian's head. "Our dearest little princess Niannian is all grown up! You're about to enter a kindergarten!" Yun Muxi appeared to have thought of something. "Oh right, I'll be going to campus this afternoon. I'll have to leave Niannian to you then. Since I'm done with my thesis, I want to show it to my supervisor. If there's no issue with it, I'll just have to wait for my thesis defense and graduation. I'll be able to make sure of the free time to focus
Professor Wang was terribly surprised to hear her words and said, "Oh? You're done with your graduation thesis so quickly? There are so many students who haven't even started yet! You really deserve your top scholar title! Hehe, Xiao Xi, you're really the student that I appreciate most during my teaching career." Yun Muxi smiled softly and said, "It's because Professor Wang teaches well." And then she handed the thesis and said, "Professor, this is my thesis. Could you please spare your time to help me with it?" Professor Wang took the thesis and looked at Yun Muxi with gratification. "Xiao Xi, what will you do after graduation? Now, the school is discussing who can retain to work in the college. Are you willing to work here, or to pursue further education?" Yun Muxi smiled gently and replied, "I don't have such plans temporarily for both of them. I would like to polish myself in the society for years, and then recons
Gong Yu entered the elevator, took a deep look at Yun Muxi and stood beside her. At the moment Tong Nan saw Gong Yu, her eyes lighted up. He was really handsome and manly. Tong Nan could not shift her starry eyes from Gong Yu and raised her blue eyes to follow Gong Yu like a spotlight. Although Tong Nan was 1.78 meters high, Gong Yu was 1.85 meters high, so he was much higher than her. She just lifted her head to look at him, even Yun Muxi standing between them could not hinder her because of Yun Muxi's height disadvantage. With a bright, infatuated smile, Tong Nan asked, "Handsome man, which floor do you go to?" Gong Yu answered coldly, "The same, 25th." Tong Nan asked with a bigger surprise, "Sister Xiao Xi, he lives on the same floor with you!" Yun Muxi replied indifferently, "Yes, he lives opposite to me, a newcomer here." Tong Nan said with envy, "Woo, a handsome man is living opposite to you
While passing by the tea table, Gong Yu extracted two pieces of paper from the paper-drawing box. He went straight to sit on the sofa and placed Niannian on his thigh. He wiped off her tears and snots gently and coaxed her tenderly, "Lovely Niannian, don't cry. Shall I play with you?" Niannian said while sniffling, "Uncle Gong... will... play with Niannian... all the time... will you..." Gong Yu nodded gently and continued to coax her tenderly, "Well, as long as you don't cry and behave well, I'll play with you once I'm free. Don't cry, Niannian." Niannian nodded her head gently and sobbed as she said, "Let... Let's... make... a pinky promise..." Then, she reached out her pudgy hand to him with four fingers bending and the pinkie stretching. Gong Yu stared blankly at her and his face hardened. Then, he followed Niannian to hook her pinkie. Niannian smiled and continued to sob as she said, "Let's... make
Niannian thought Gong Yu did not reply because he could not agree. Then, she lowered her small head and said quietly, "Uncle Gong, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. My mummy said that you would not agree. I'll still call you Uncle Gong." Upon hearing this, Gong Yu became softhearted as if the softest place in his heart was prickled badly with bleeding. Especially when he saw Niannian's miserable appearance, he did not know how to refuse. He answered in a low voice, "Niannian, as long as you're happy, you can call me whatever you want" Suddenly, her little face was as bright as sunshine, which lit up his heart. Gong Yu smiled faintly which was extremely warm. Seeing that, Niannian was happier and asked with surprise, "Daddy Yu, you're so pretty when you smile." Niannian called smoothly. She sounded like a copper bell, echoing in his mind for a long time, which made him look colored and dazzling. Just then, Gu Yuxuan appear
