The atmosphere was harmonious until they drove to the hospital. Before getting out of the car, Murong Ye suddenly sit up a bit. He gazed at Yun Muxi and said, "Xiao Xi, what's your att.i.tude to the relations.h.i.+p between you and Gong Yu? I just want to know your real opinion."

Yun Muxi lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then she answered lightly, "I got along well with him in the past. I thought he was the right person who could stay with me forever. When I finally decided to be his girlfriend with all my expectations, I told him that I only had one requirement—I wanted a wholehearted love. If he fell in love with someone else, he must tell me, and I would leave him without hesitation because I couldn't accept that he loved another woman."

"Did Gong Yu cheat on you?" Murong Ye frowned and asked in a low voice.

"I've seen him with another woman with my own eyes, and I've heard the conversations between him and that woman..." Yun Muxi signed.

"Could it be a misunderstanding? I think Gong Yu is sincere to you."

"I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. How could it be a misunderstanding! I still remember the sorrow he brought to me at that time. He loved me deeply but changed quickly as well. Someday, even if he still loves me, I won't believe it anymore."

"If Gong Yu is sincere to you at now and will be sincere to you in the future, will you be willing to accept him? After all, you never forget him and still love him."

"If someone falls in one place, will he fall in the same place again?"

"But he is Niannian's father, and it's the truth that you can't change. In fact, if you think for Niannian, it's not bad to give Gong Yu a chance."

"Niannian is my daughter, and it has nothing to do with him! When I chose to give birth to her, I've never thought to let him take the responsibility. So, I was ready for an independent upbringing. Niannian is my own."

"Xiao Xi, as your brother, I know Gong Yu hurt you before and I am very angry at it. If I could find you at that time, I thought I would support you to leave him, and I would even punch him in the face for you. But now everything has pa.s.sed so long, and as a man, I can tell that Gong Yu is sincere to you. To be honest, I can't guarantee that I would love a woman with such a deep feeling as he did. So, I really hope you can get your happiness."

"Brother, I understand, but there is something we can't let it go. So, we... "

"Well, I won't force you. I just want you to be happy."

Yun Muxi looked at Murong Ye's tender eyes and was touched by him again. It was so happy to have a brother who loved her so much. Yun Muxi leaned on Murong Ye's shoulder, arm in arm, and said, "Thank you, brother!"

Murong Ye and Yun Muxi went to Niannian's and Gong Yu's ward together. When opened the door, they saw Niannian and Gong Yu playing games happily.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Wow, daddy, I win again. Come on, let me bounce your forehead." Niannian screamed with a happy smile.

"Well, come on. But you have to be tender, or you'll have your dad's forehead swollen, and your mommy won't like your dad."

"Don't worry, daddy. I will bounce lightly, and daddy won't get ugly. Well, even if daddy's head is swollen, you are still the most handsome daddy!"

Feeling the intimate and cheerful atmosphere between Niannian and Gong Yu, Yun Muxi and Murong Ye were surprised. Niannian and Gong Yu were intimate before but not so close like this. However, now, they seemed to behave like other normal fathers and daughters, and there was no gap between them any more even after they were separated for several years.

Yun Muxi stood at the door and softly called. "Niannian, mommy comes to see you."

Hearing Yun Muxi's voice, Niannian looked up with a happier smile. "Mommy, you finally come. I miss you so much! I'm playing games with daddy and he always loses; I win many times!"

Gong Yu softly looked at Yun Muxi. When he saw her holding Murong Ye's arm in an intimate way, he was surprised and also jealous. It was unpleasant for him to see her hold other's hands so intimately. He gloomily stared at Yun Muxi's hand which held Murong Ye's arm, and when his eyes were focused on her arm, his face was even more gloomy.

He stood up and grabbed Yun Muxi's hand, staring the fresh red mark on her wrist. Then, he frowned and asked coldly, "What happened to your wrist?"

Yun Muxi forgot the injury on her wrist, so she didn't cover it on purpose. At that moment, she was disconcerted and couldn't come up with a good excuse, so, she faltered for a long time without telling the truth.

Gong Yu stared at Murong Ye coldly and asked, "Who hurt her?"

Murong Ye's face also darkened, and rage was surrounding him. "Don't worry. I must make them pay!"

Ignoring what Murong Ye had said, Gong Yu asked again, "Who did it?"

Yun Muxi looked at Gong Yu and answered timidly, "It's, it's Bai Nina. She came to the crew today and picked on me. I didn't surrender, then she had me arrested. Finally, my brother came to save me."

Gong Yu glanced at Murong Ye and then fixed his eyes on Yun Muxi's wrists, which were covered with injuries. A silver of sharp light flashed within his eyes, which then were full of self-blame and pain. If he had come to the crew that day, Yun Muxi would not have suffered.

Yun Muxi tried to change the topic, so, she walked toward Niannian while asking her, "Niannian, how do you feel today? Did you feel uncomfortable? Were you obedient?"

Niannian nestled in Yun Muxi's arms and said sweetly, "I'm fine and obedient today, and I'm very happy to have fun with daddy. I hope I can do this with daddy every day. Mommy, can we live with daddy after I leave hospital?"

Niannian timely played her role of Gong Yu's ally and tried to speak for him, but Yun Muxi felt a little embarra.s.sed. She didn't know how to respond to Niannian. Then she turned to look at Gong Yu, who was also staring at her with bright eyes and seeming to wait for her answer.

Then Yun Muxi looked at Murong Ye, intending to seek his help. Murong Ye got the signal and he understood Yun Muxi's worry, so he said, "Niannian, could you call me uncle? Your mommy has already changed to call me brother, so, you should call me uncle. Don't call me Uncle Murong any more, okay?"

Niannian felt confused and asked Yun Muxi, "Mommy, it's so strange. Why has everyone changed after I took the operation? Why does Daddy Yu become daddy and Uncle Murong become uncle?"

Yun Muxi felt a little embarra.s.sed and explained. "Eh, it's a complicated matter! Daddy Yu didn't know that he was your father. And Uncle Murong is truly your mommy's brother, so you should call him uncle. Moreover, you should call Grandpa Murong grandpa now."

Niannian was still bewildered and asked, "Why?"

Yun Muxi thought for a while but didn't know how to explain the sophisticated relations.h.i.+p to a three-year-old child, so she said, "Eh, mommy will tell you when you grow up, then you can easily understand it. OK?"

Fortunately, Niannian was not an aggressive child, so, she didn't trouble Yun Muxi anymore. Then it changed into a warm family moment.

Yun Muxi and Murong Ye didn't leave until Niannian fell asleep. After experienced what had happened during the day time, Murong Ye didn't allow Yun Muxi go home alone. So, he took her home. Then on the next morning, Yun Muxi went to the crew as usual. Murong Ye sent some subordinates to follow her.

Therefore, when Yun Muxi appeared on the set, several serious men in black suits with black gla.s.s and crew cuts stood on the outside of the set. Giving off a cold feeling that n.o.body could get close to them, they stood there like door G.o.ds in Chinese legend. It made all staffs on the set felt strange, and the set was immersed in a depressing atmosphere.

Yun Muxi felt so embarra.s.sed, but those men wouldn't let Yun Muxi out of their sight under Murong Ye's order. Thus, they resolutely refused to leave the set, compromising to stand on the outside of the set.

When Yun Muxi went out of the dressing room with a sophisticated look and costume, Xie Ning walked to her. She held Yun Muxi's arm, seeming to flatter her. "Xiao Xi, what happened?" she asked, looking at the men in black suits.

Yun Muxi calmly pulled out her arm of Xie Ning's hands, pretending to tidy her clothes. Then she said coldly, "This all thanks to Bai Nina!"

"Bai Nina? What does this have to do with Nina?" Xie Ning was surprised.

"You can ask your good friend. Ask what she had done yesterday."

"But, don't you know that the Bai Family... Oh no, it's you who did it?"

"Bai Family? What happened to them?"

"Don't you know that the Bai Family was announced to be acquired in this morning? Bai Nina's father was dismissed by the board of directors because of financial issues and the Bai Family bankrupted!"

In fact, Xie Ning was not so intimate with Bai Nina, so she didn't pay much attention to what had happened to the Bai Family. But now, she had to pay her attention because this matter seemed to be related to Yun Muxi. If the things were what she speculated, she dared not to bully Yun Muxi anymore but would try to please her.

Xie Ning nervously looked at Yun Muxi, worrying that she would say it was related to her. If Yun Muxi said so, her backers must be very powerful that they could acquire Bai Group and let the Bai Family bankrupt overnight.

"How did this happen?"

Xie Ning found that Yun Muxi was really confused and surprised, which was not like her disguise. "Yun Muxi is not related to what happened to the Bai Family. Is it just a coincidence?" Xie Ning was confused, but, having seen the people with Yun Muxi when she came to the set, she dared not to neglect her or annoy her any more. She could not help thinking of Ding Sisi. "Is it possible that Yun Muxi is related to what Ding Sisi suffered?" Thinking of this possibility, Xie Ning was scared to death, and she felt a bit lucky that she hadn't done anything to Yun Muxi yet, otherwise... she even dared not to think about it anymore!

With such a thought, Xie Ning took another look at Yun Muxi and those several black-suited men.

Yun Muxi also felt confused. "Is it Murong Ye who caused the Bai Family to suffer all this?" If her guess was right, she would really be astonished by the power of the Murong Family and become even more afraid to step into the door of the family who could destroy the Bai Family in one night. She still remembered that before Bai Nina went abroad to study, even Mou Yichen would treat Bai Nina in a careful way, which was to say, even the Mou Family had to respect the Bai Family. But now, everything had been changed in one night.

When she was thinking, a familiar voice came from the door. "Xiao Xi!"
