“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.
