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 Yuxuan said guiltily, "Xiao Xi, Eh... Eh... I think the food is getting cold, so I want to ask you to dine."
Yun Muxi glared at Gu Yuxuan and whispered, "Mr. Gong has trouble with his heart, so I will get him a glass of water and give him a break. Xuanxuan, take Niannian to eat first."
Gu Yuxuan glanced at the room with a suspicious look, that "they must have something secret" look. She saw Gong Yu lie in bed feebly with a pale face and closed eyes, which was pathetic. Thus, she took Niannian back to the dining table reluctantly.
Yun Muxi went back to the living room after pouring a glass of water. Looking at the weak man on the bed, she was touched. She put the glass on the bedside table and walked lightly out of the room.
When the door was closed, Gong Yu suddenly opened his eyes, which was full of sadness. He turned over and buried his head in the pillow of the big bed. The familiar smell came back into his nose, which was refreshing and haunting.
Yun Muxi returned to the dining table and peeled shrimp carefully for Niannian. Gu Yuxuan gazed at her with doubt from time to time. They had meals quietly. Suddenly, Niannian lifted her watery eyes, which were clear enough to purify men's mind, looking at Yun Muxi with hope, and said cautiously, "Mummy, Uncle Gong is so handsome. Niannian likes him. Can he be my father?"
Yun Muxi stopped peeling and said tenderly without lifting her eyes, "Niannian, stop saying nonsense! You only have a mummy, Mommy Xuanxuan, and Daddy Chen. We all love you and it's enough. You don't need a father. "
Niannian dropped her eyes disappointedly and continued to eat quietly.
Gu Yuxuan felt sorry and touched Niannian's hair. She looked up at Yun Muxi seriously and whispered, "Niannian yearns for a father. If you konw the right person, you should consider your own business. You are about to graduate, so you can't always raise Niannian up by yourself."
Yun Muxi looked stubborn and said determinedly, "Niannian and I are fine. When she grows up, she will get used to living without a father. We don't need other people in our lives."
Gu Yuxuan said angrily, "It's your idea, not Niannian's. What's more, is that really what you think? Living with you for so many years, I know what you're thinking. You can flaunt your superiority before anyone else and fool everyone, but you can't hide anything from me!"
Yun Muxi looked a little stiff and put the shelled shrimps to Niannian's bowl without looking up or replying.
Gu Yuxuan hesitated for a while and asked, "What... What's wrong with Gong Yu?"
Yun Muxi did not answer and said peacefully, "Let's dine."
At this time, the bedroom was opened. Gong Yu walked out with a pale face.
Gu Yuxuan moved forward and greeted him. "Are you feeling better? Come and have dinner. The food is getting cold."
Gong Yu looked at Yun Muxi and said coldly, "No. Thank you! Excuse me, I have to go."
Yun Muxi spoke calmly, "I can pack the food for you."Then, she explained, "We cooked more than we could eat. Since you just moved in, you shouldn’t have cooked. If you get hungry later, you can warm up it in the microwave."
As if she had received the imperial edict, Gu Yuxuan immediately ran to the kitchen, took out three big preservation boxes, began to dish up for Gong Yu. She filled the boxes with half the dishes on the table. Then, she handed Gong Yu a bag filling with the boxes. Suddenly, something rushed into her mind. "Gong Yu, please wait a moment. Take some specialty to taste." Then, she rushed to her big suitcase, rummaged around, took out several bags of specialties, and put them to his bag.
Gong Yu looked down at his bag and spoke to Gu Yuxuan, "Thank you!" Then, Looked at Yun Muxi deeply, he turned to open the door and leave.
When he returned his home, he saw Seventh Brother sit on the sofa and smoke. Considering the butts in the ashtray, he had been waiting for a long time. Gong Yu spoke up, "Seventh Brother, here you are."
When Seventh Brother looked up at Gong Yu, he was surprised at his pale and gaunt face, which was heartbreaking. Seventh Brother asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?"
Gong Yu rubbed his eyebrows and answered feebly, "I'm fine. It's an old illness."
"An old illness? Haven't you had a heartache for a long time? How could you fall ill?" Seventh Brother came over hurriedly and asked with concern.
Gong Yu waved his hand as he said, "I'm fine." Then, he put the bag on the table.
Seventh Brother looked at the bag and asked curiously, "Eh? Did you buy a takeout? Great. You know to feed yourself."
Usually, Seventh Brother helped Gong Yu to solve the food problem. If Seventh Brother was too busy, Gong Yu did not know to eat. Seventh Brother had told him so many times that if he could not help him, he should order takeout or go to restaurants. However, Gong Yu never listened to him and would rather be hungry.
Gong Yu said casually, "It's from the neighbor."
Seventh Brother said surprisingly, "Eh? Your neighbor is really nice. Is she a fan of yours? Be careful. Don't stir up trouble."
"The neighbor is Xiao Xi."
"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
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
