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.
While Niannian was drawing on the tea table, the bell suddenly rang. Yun Muxi was preparing the lunch in the kitchen, so she said to Niannian in the living room with a loud voice, "Niannian, go to open the door. It should be your Father Chen."
Niannian answered and ran to open the door happily.
When she opened the door, the opposite door was opened at the same time. Gong Yu and Seventh Brother saw Niannian jump into Mou Yichen's arms with pleasure.
"Father Chen, here you are! I miss you very much. I haven't seen you for days." Niannian was joyful and radiant. Mou Yichen squatted down to embrace the cute kiddy and rubbed her hair ardently. Niannian smiled brightly and kissed on Mou Yichen's cheek.
Mou Yichen laughed happily. They got along well with each other. "Ho-Ho... Niannian, Father Chen misses you too! I'm busy working, so I could not come to see you. Niannian, you won't blame me, right? Look, I specially bought you a lot of delicious food." He waved the shopping bag as he finished talking.
Niannian smiled more brightly. Her laughter was as clear as a brass bell and echoed in people's hearts. Suddenly, Niannian saw the two people sitting in the opposite and asked puzzledly as she blinked her big eyes, "Eh! Uncle Gong, are you going out?"
Upon hearing Niannian's words, Mou Yichen suddenly realized that there was a cold look behind him. He held Niannian and looked back to the opposite. He frowned slightly and pulled a long face.
The two men looked at each other fiercely and considered the other as their enemy with a man's instinct. Seventh Brother could not help but swallow. "Oh my god. They are not going to beat each other the next second, aren't they? Their eyes look so horrible that if they can kill people using eyes, I have been dead several times for nothing."
Being aware of their hostility, Seventh Brother hurried to pull Gong Yu's sleeve. "Gong Yu, let's go. We are going to be late soon."
As if he had not heard Seventh Brother's words, Gong Yu squinted his long and narrow eyes and shot a sharp look at Mou Yichen. Mou Yichen refused to admit being inferior. They fought secretly and amuck...
Seventh Brother pushed Gong Yu into the elevator hurriedly and closed the doors quickly to isolate the two men who would fight to the death.
Mou Yichen coldly looked at the elevator doors. Niannian had no idea about their secret fighting. She pulled Mou Yichen's sleeves lightly and blinked her big eyes innocently. "Father Chen, Uncle Gong is our new neighbor. He is so handsome. I really like him and I want him to be my father."
Mou Yichen turned slightly stiff and said tenderly, "Niannian, this man looks unfriendly. How can you like such a fierce man? Besides, you always think I'm the most handsome man, don't you? Why do not you ask me to be your father?"
Niannian pouted and said in the cutest voice, "Father Chen is my father but I also want Uncle Gong to be my father. Although you're handsome, Uncle Gong is more handsome than you."
Her innocent words sounded cute but hurt Mou Yichen's heart subtly.
Seeing Niannian have not come back, Yun Muxi went out to check. Seeing them talking at the door, she said with a smile, "Why don't you come in? Go to wash your hands. I've got everything ready."
…
In the nanny van, Gong Yu pulled a long face and appeared slightly aloof.
Seventh Brother frowned and asked cautiously, "The man may be Niannian's ... Is Niannian his child..."
Gong Yu's face turned even scarier as black as the bottom of a pan. Obviously, his anger was about to burst out. Seventh Brother was startled and buttoned his lips.
He switched the conversation to some other subject, "These are wild guesses. You can ask Yun Muxi directly. Or you can ask her confidante. They seem to be close friends, so she must know. Besides, no man lives in Yun Muxi's house, so they are not supposed to be together. Given that, You still have hope."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yu recovered a little but he still simmered with rage. As long as he thought of the close interaction between Niannian and the man, he could not help feeling angry. Whether he was Niannian's biological father or not, Niannian called him Father Chen. Thus, there must be some intimacies between the man and Yun Muxi. Otherwise, Niannian would not call him Father. Anyhow, Gong Yu could not accept that Yun Muxi was surrounded by other men. What's more, he could not accept that Niannian was other man's child.
…
Mou Yichen held Niannian into the house with Yun Muxi. He asked tentatively, "Xiao Xi, is there a new neighbor in the opposite?"
Yun Muxi answered lightly, "Hum, he moved in yesterday."
Mou Yichen asked further, "Niannian seems to like the man very much."
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 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
Gong Yu grasped Yun Muxi's wrist and looked at her nervously. He lifted her up with a princess hug and ran to the faucet in the restroom, washing her hand with cold water. Yun Muxi felt a terrible pain with her tears trickling down her cheeks. Her mind went blank, so she paid no attention to Gong Yu's tension and intimacy. Gu Yuxuan was also worried. She ran to the tea table and search things in a medicine cabinet. After finding the medicine for scald, she ran into the restroom and passed the ointment and gauze to Gong Yu. After receiving the ointment, Gong Yu held Yun Muxi to the sofa in the living room and laid her down cautiously. He got down on one knee, holding the red and swollen blistered hand, and gently blew while applying ointment to the hand with great care. He was so gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure. He knitted his eyebrows tightly and his eyes were full of tender affection. Niannian was panic-stricken when she saw her mummy hurt. She was
