Upon hearing Gong Yu's words, Yun Muxi's face turned scarlet, and her heart was beating so fast. She bitterly hated the man in front of her and wanted to tear him into pieces.
Seeing this, Gong Yu was satisfied with his performance and kept going crazy.
"Miss Yun, you're wrong. Am I disgusting? Disgusting? Have you considered how disgusting I felt these years? You're not qualified to say that I'm disgusting."
Gong Yu cursed in a loud roar, which resounded through the roof. Yun Muxi's eardrum was extremely painful due to the vibration. There was a lingering hum in her ear. Like the dark clouds in her heart, blocking out the sun, the hum blocked out all the sounds. She looked at Gong Yu's mouth opening and closing, but she could not hear anything he said.
Yun Muxi threw off Gong Yu's big hand with great strength and ran to the restroom.
Seeing Yun Muxi left angrily, Gong Yu sat on the floor feebly and leaned against the door. He felt bitter as the painful recollection lingered in his mind...
After she ran into the restroom, Yun Muxi locked the door and slid against the door plank. As she sat on the floor, tears rushed out of her big black shiny eyes and dripped down along her cheeks. She bent the knees, rested her forehead on her knees, put her arms around her head, and started to weep uncontrollably.
"I can’t escape fate. Will I fall into it again?"
Yun Muxi took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She rose up to turn on the tap, splashed cold water on her face, and patted her cheeks in front of a mirror.
After washing her face, Yun Muxi stared blankly in front of the mirror and went out of the restroom.
When she went back to the living room, no one was there.
Her 1B1B apartment was not big, but the room was clean and tidy with a lovely arrangement. It was quite spacious for one person to live in. She walked around the house and confirmed that Gong Yu had gone.
She felt relieved but at the same time, felt so empty.
"Hum... How could he go just like that?" Yun Muxi talked to herself with a sneer.
She lay down on the sofa and felt like she had been hollowed out...
--
At the Presidential Suite on the top floor of Dihao Hotel, at Night.
Gong Yu sat on the ground with his back against the wall in the corner. He looked out of the window with empty eyes. The lights of the room were not on, and there was only a faint moonlight. He had been sitting in this position during the whole afternoon. He looked indifferent and lifeless. A white puppy was lying on his lap. Gong Yu stroked its fur gently from time to time. The dog had got used to his indifference. Hence it rested on his lap and slept
The door was suddenly opened. A man came in and turned on the light. When he walked into the room, he discovered Gong Yu sitting beside the window. The man breathed a sigh of relief and spoke softly, "Gong Yu, here you are. I thought you were not here. Why didn't you turn on the light? I've been calling you all afternoon. Why don't you pick up the phone?"
While speaking, he went to the table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it off. Gong Yu had not replied to him.
The man continued, "You should get to work from tomorrow. To divert your focus of work from South Korea to China, I've arranged a series of activities. We must increase your exposure as soon as possible. By the upcoming high-budget film Where does love belong? I've arranged some exclusive interviews and advertisements for you. You'd better get yourself together. This film is the first play after you return back, so you must seize this chance. It will be easy to become famous. Director Zhao is a nationally well-known director. All the scripts and actors anointed by him become popular. Besides, his reputation is splendid. When you're able to act in his play, you're already halfway there. It's not easy for me to get this opportunity for you, so you must make good use of it. Through this play, you should be able to get the attention of insiders. With the addition of your ability and appearance, you have the chance to compete for the Best Actor at the end of the year, not to mention the number of fans. When you win the award, you don't need to worry about future development."
The man kept saying without any response from Gong Yu. Even if he had a good temper, he became a little impatient. He began to complain, "Gong Yu, what's wrong with you? Have you heard what I said? I don't feel like talking this way as if I was talking to a dead person. I'm so unfortunate that I met such a cool person like you four years ago. If I had known then what was going to happen, I wouldn't have done as I did."
After his complaint, Gong Yu still didn’t respond. The man was so angry that he went forward and pushed Gong Yu.
Gong Yu seemed to come to his senses. He turned back to look at the man with undisguised sadness in his eyes. After looking at the man for several seconds, he said, "Oh, Seventh Brother, here you are."
Seventh Brother sighed. "Apparently, you were not even listening."
Gong Yu held the white puppy in his arms and about to stand up. Since he had been sitting there all afternoon, his legs and feet felt numb. He almost fell down while standing up. The Seventh Brother immediately held him up. Gong Yu waved his hand to Seventh Brother, hobbled toward the sofa to sit down, and tilted his head back. He was in deep sorrow, which made people feel sorry.
Seventh Brother looked at him and cursed because he was exasperated at Gong Yu's attitude. "Don’t be such a baby. It's just a woman. It's been four years, so you should come out as a man. Can you act like a man? There're so many women out there. Why can't you live a good life without her? Wherever you stand, so many will come to jump on you. You must either find a woman or get yourself together. Don't you know how big this chance is for you?"
Seventh Brother rarely swore except when he was mad at Gong Yu. He thought Gong Yu was pitiful most of the time, so he could not bear to scold him.Seventh Brother was Gong Yu's agent. His name was Su Rui, but people called him Seventh Brother. Four years ago, he met Gong Yu by accident in the street. Gong Yu wore weird clothes and combed long hair into a ponytail on the top of his head. He exuded a cool and majestic manner, like a prince who came through time and space.At that time, Seventh Brother happened to need an actor for a historical drama. He thought Gong Yu would fit in the role of the male lead. However, he found the man was very stiff. When he took him back and asked, the man told him nothing except that his name was Gong Yu and he wanted to find a woman called Xiao Xi. Seventh Brother firmly believed that Gong Yu had lost his memory.Then, he asked him if he wanted to act. Gong Yu just wondered if he could find Xiao Xi by performi
Yun Muxi knitted her eyebrows and asked, puzzlement in her voice. "I did not order a meal."The young man was embarrassed to say, "Miss Yun, we are only responsible for delivering food. The guest ordered a meal, so I have to deliver it."Yun Muxi had no intention to make it difficult for him, so she took the food and closed the door.At two o'clock in the afternoon, the bell rang."Miss Yun, here is your fruit!"At four o'clock in the afternoon, the bell rang."Miss Yun, here is your afternoon tea."At six o'clock, the bell rang."Miss Yun, here is your dinner!"...Yun Muxi was annoyed as she was bombarded by the continuous delivery. She was confused, but no one could answer. She lay on the sofa and complained, "Who did this?"After a while, she got up and ate the dinner. Since it was delivered, she could not waste food. Besides, she liked
Only Gu Yuxuan and Mou Yichen knew Yun Muxi lived here, so it was unlikely that anyone else would come. Hearing someone come, Gu Yuxuan immediately thought of Mou Yichen.Yun Muxi asked indifferently, "Mr. Gong, what are you doing here?"Gong Yu said calmly, "Come by and say hello."Gu Yuxuan saw the comer clearly as she went to the door, said surprisingly, "Eh? The handsome neighbor?"Yun Muxi looked back at Gu Yuxuan. "He is the new neighbor?"Gu Yuxuan nodded and said, "Yes. I saw him walk into the opposite apartment when I returned back with Niannian."Yun Muxi looked at Gong Yu unpleasantly.Gong Yu spoke first, "I just moved in today and wanted to say hello."Gu Yuxuan said hurriedly, "Come on in. Have you eaten yet? We're about to have dinner. Would you like to join us?"Gong Yu nodded and said, "Sorry to bother you." Then, he went by Yun Muxi and entered the door.Gong Yu went to the table with Gu Yuxuan and sat dow
Gong Yu took a break before he raised his head. He stared at Yun Muxi's shiny eyes and said coldly, "I was wounded in the heart by a sword because of some woman. I was sorrowful because the woman left without saying goodbye. Thus, I bought wine and drank all day long. Thanks to the woman, I have an incurable illness. However, this woman..." Each word was engraved into Yun Muxi's mind, hitting and poking her heart, and cut her to the quick... Yun Muxi took a deep breath without saying anything. She helped Gong Yu up to the bed and lied down. Gong Yu looked straight at her as if he wanted to see a slight difference on her face. She turned around and said tenderly, "Please take a break. I will get you a glass of water." When she walked to the door and opened it, two figures fell into the room. Yun Muxi knitted her eyebrows, looked at them, and said in a deep voice, "You're..." Gu Yuxuan and Niannian tried to be cute by grinning. Gu Yux
"The neighbor is Xiao Xi." Gong Yu's words were like a bomb exploded in Seventh Brother's mind. "What did you say? Xiao Xi lives opposite? I was puzzled why you suddenly asked me to buy the specific house for you. I took great effort to find the house-owner and buy it. It turned out that you come here for Xiao Xi." Gong Yu collapsed on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes. He said with sorrow, "Seventh Brother, she has a child!" Seventh Brother blew up as he said, "What did you say? Xiao Xi has a child. You mentioned that she is two years younger than you. How could she give birth to a child before 23? Who's her husband?" Gong Yu said coldly, "I only saw a three-year-old little girl. There seems to be no man in their family." "What? She had a child without getting married or she is a single mother. It sounds wrong. Yun Muxi is 23 years old while the child is 3 years old. So, she del
"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", wh
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
