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.”
