Chapter 332 Extra Story— Blooming after 12 Years [Conclusion]
Lu Yang also saw Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu and also felt a little bit shocked. He stepped forward to greet them. “Xiao Xi, Gong Yu, why are you here?”
Murong Yunxi looked at Lu Yang with a smile. Many years had passed by, the past had gone with the wind. Lu Yang was just one of her good friends and they seemed to be more comfortable in this way. “Yeah, we came for a movie, but I didn’t like it, so we left before the ending!”
Subsequently, Murong Yun turned to a woman behind Lu Yang who looked familiar. “Lu Yang, is this your…?”
Lu Yang put on a bitter smile. “Oh, you know that I am in a situation of being forced to get married. This is a girl that my big brother introduced to me for a blind date.”
Lu Yang had nothing to hide because he had no intention to get married to this woman, so he shared his thoughts directly to avoid any misunderstandings, let alone he had no intention to make her his girlfriend. This woman did not reach the standard to be his girlfriend. He had no special feelings for her.
Murong Yunxi greeted the woman in a polite way. “Hello, I am Lu Yang’s friend, Murong Yunxi.”
The woman behind Gong Yu turned to him. The look in her eyes changed a little. Murong Yunxi abruptly caught the emotion in her eyes passing by. Then, she turned to Gong Yu, who still wore a gloomy expression without any emotion.
“Hello, I am Ling Fei.” Ling Fei turned to Murong Yunxi with an unnatural smile on her face.
Murong Yunxi disliked this kind of feeling of Ling Fei, so she did not wish to say more. “So, you two went to a movie first. Please excuse us to leave. Contact you later, bye!”
Lu Yang nodded his head and bid farewell to them.
Murong Yunxi changed color when getting out of the cinema, glancing at Gong Yu with her black eyes. “What’s wrong with that Ling Fei?”
Gong Yu could not help laughing lightly, holding her shoulders and whispering by her ear, “Oh? I seem to smell a rich sense of jealousy from you.”
Murong Yunxi’s heart beat fast when feeling the warm breath touching her ear. It seemed that lightning flashed by her mind, but she still pretended to be calm. She reached out to pinch Gong Yu’s waist. “Don’t shift the topic. Answer me!”
Gong Yu behaved more flattering and loved her more because of her nervous attitude. “That Ling Fei is just an unknown singing star who we signed recently.”
Murong Yunxi finally realized the reason why she disliked that woman. She turned out to be a new singing star. It was said that she grew up in a wealthy family and stood out from a talent show. However, she was also controversial. Some said she became popular because she had bribed the judges, while some others said she was taught by a famous teacher, so she could behave greatly. Anyway, she could seize this chance to become famous.
When she was signed by Gong Yu’s company, Murong Yunxi came across her once when going for him. At that time, she could feel an uneasy gaze from that woman. Today, she behaved in the same way. She could not help wondering if Ling Fei might fancy Gong Yu.
“Oh, I understand! You mean things will be different if she becomes famous!” Murong Yunxi deliberately misunderstood Gong Yu’s words, which made the latter feel helpless. From some unknown time, Murong Yunxi liked to act headstrong in front of Gong Yu. This made Gong Yu love her more because he thought that this meant she cared about him.
“My sweetheart, can I take your words as jealousy? Do you want to give birth to a boy for me? Gong Xi is enough. I don’t want another naughty boy.” Recalling Gong Xi’s desire to occupy Murong Yunxi, Gong Yu felt angry. He knew that sons would always be intimate with their moms, but Gong Xi was beyond intimation.
“Quickly, answer my question directly.” Murong Yunxi became serious, making her tender face more attractive. Gong Yu always sighed that Murong Yunxi had not changed very much even though she had reached 30 years old. She looked like a girl at 20, but became more mature and charming.
“It seems that she fancies me, but so many women are interested in me. I am completely immune to them.” Gong Yu’s words not only showed that he was single-minded, but also demonstrated that he was popular to make Murong Yunxi care more about him. Besides, he loved it when Murong Yunxi felt jealous. It was so cute! In fact, Gong Yu totally told the truth. He was really popular at his age, as was Murong Yunxi. They could match each other in this aspect.
“Hmph, you can continue showing off. How about kneeling on a keyboard when back at home, in order to attract girls outside!” Murong Yunxi turned around and stepped forward. She could tell that Gong Yu deliberately made her jealous, so she would not allow him to succeed to see her jealousy.
They had a meal of spicy hot pot. Murong Yunxi took Gong Yu back home after being full.
When they arrived, Murong Ye and Murong Qingtian had already been there. The two were chatting on the sofa. Murong Ye was traveling over these days. He just came back two days ago, so they had quite a lot of topics to talk about.
Murong Yunxi stepped forward and looked at her brother and father with a sweet smile. “Brother, Father, you’re here. Why didn’t you call us in advance? We would have come back earlier.”
Murong Qingtian grinned. “We just arrived. You’re pregnant now, so you can’t always hang out. Especially, you’re a senior mother. You should stay at home to build up your health. You should be careful in the early stages of pregnancy.”
Murong Qingtian had obviously become a lot older over the past two years and had become more and more talkative. Although Murong Yunxi did not like to hear somebody’s nagging, she knew that the days she could hear Murong Qingtian’s nagging would become fewer and fewer. In this way, she would accept whatever he liked to say. However, she did not want to continue this topic.
Murong Yunxi spat out her tongue and sat down next to Murong Ye. “Brother, tell me where you went and if there’s anything new during your trip.”
Murong Qingtian could not help nagging again when the topic shifted to Murong Ye. “Xiao Ye, how old are you? Why not get married? You still travel around. I really worry about you.”
Murong Ye curved the corner of his mouth unnaturally, but the smile added a sense of sweetness. “Dad, I really brought you a surprise this time.”
Murong Qingtian’s eyes lit up at once. “Oh? Did you bring me back a daughter-in-law?”
Murong Qingtian’s blunt words teased Murong Ye and Murong Yunxi. Even Gong Yu, who came over with a cup of water, wore a smile.
“Dad! Can’t you be polite?” Murong Ye could not help complaining, meanwhile deepening his smile. “In fact, I really did bring back a girlfriend this time. She should visit her parents when coming back to her motherland. I will take her to visit you in a few days.”
When Murong Ye said he could take her home, this meant that he considered marriage with her. Murong Ye was not the kind of person who would take someone back home casually. Anyway, Murong Qingtian and Murong Yunxi did not doubt Murong Ye’s choice. It would be enough if Murong Ye liked her. They were really happy to see Murong Ye find his love.
During their talk, the bell rang. Gong Yu got up to open the door. Gu Yuxuan and Murong Xu came in holding Murong Xuan in their arms.
Murong Xuan, at five years old, was their little daughter. They also had a son Murong Yu at 12 years old, who was one year older than Gong Xi.
Murong Xuan threw herself into Gong Yu’s arms when entering the room. It was strange that Murong Xuan liked Gong Yu most since she was young, even deeper than her own father. Gong Yu did not reject children’s intimacy, so he treated her in the same way as Murong Niannian.
Gong Yu held Murong Xuan in his arms while the little girl seized the chance to kiss his face and wore a sweet smile.
Before Gu Yuxuan and Murong Xu sat on the sofa, Gong Xi came back with Murong Yu. Every member was there. Murong Yunxi made an order to Gong Xi. “Okay, everyone is here. So we should start our meal. Gong Xi, go upstairs and ask your sister to come down for dinner.”
Gong Xi considered Murong Yunxi’s words as an imperial decree of Empress Dowager Cixi. He went upstairs after getting her order.
Since Murong Haotian had an accident, Zhuang Yaru went back to her parents because she was not Murong Xu’s birth mother and their affection was not deep enough. Murong Xu seemed to lose both his parents. Fortunately, Murong Qingtian did not have any bias toward him. He had a good relationship with Murong Ye and Murong Yunxi. Besides, Gu Yuxuan had been the best friend of Murong Yunxi since they were young. In this way, the couple became closer to Murong Qingtian, Murong Ye, and Murong Yunxi. They were a family.
They sat in the dining hall, enjoying the harmonious atmosphere. Since Murong Ye had been away home for a long time, it became a more important family reunion. Murong Qingtian felt touched when seeing this scene.
“With the companionship of you all, I have no regrets in my life.”
“Dad, don’t say regrets. You have a long time to enjoy your later years. That will be happier than today if you find your love.”
Murong Qingtian blushed at once when hearing this. “What are you talking about? How old am I? How can I find another love?”
Murong Yunxi did not recall her teasing words when looking at her father’s red face, but wore a tricky smile on her face. “I saw you get along well with Aunt Wu. How about her? I think she fancies you!”
“Nonsense, I am your father. Don’t play a joke on me.” Later, Murong Qingtian became more serious and shifted to another topic. “Well, stop joking! Since we’re all here, I should say something serious. I went to the sanatorium to visit Chengtian. He’s not good. It seems that God is punishing him for the bad things he has done during his early years.”
Murong Qingtian paused and looked at Murong Yunxi with concern. “Years ago, we could not find Xiao Xi for so many years, but I have not expected that it was Chengtian that set us up. He became more and more excessive later on. He did not stop his bad affairs after Haotian had done so many excessive things. He even tried to gain benefits from hurting Xiao Xi. He has done so many bad things to Xiao Xi in secret during these years, so God gave him a bad illness and he can only suffer in bitterness because of it. When I saw him today, I thought that he could not live past this year.”
When reaching this part, Murong Qingtian spoke with his lips slightly quivering. Although his two brothers had done so many bad things, they were still his blood brothers. So he was angry but still felt sorry. “Xiao Xi, since he has got a relative punishment, you should let him go and forgive him.”
Murong Yunxi behaved calmly. After experiencing quite a lot and getting pregnant again, she had no time to think of those troublesome issues. Living with her family in harmony was her biggest happiness.
She smiled faintly and looked around. “My biggest wish for now is to give birth to my lovely baby. I am so satisfied to have Niannian, such a wonderful daughter, and a son, Xiaoxi. I think God treats me well. Now, I have my little three. I believe that he will be as wonderful as his brother and sister. Regardless if it is a sensible girl like Niannian or a boy like Xiaoxi, I think it’s the best compensation that God gives to me. So, the past should go with the wind.”
After that, Murong Yunxi leaned in Gong Yu’s arms like a beautiful little wife. “Besides, I have a wonderful family that loves me the most. I really feel happy. Now, I just want to live my happiest life, and when Niannian reaches 18 years old, I will officially pass the title of the head of the Murong Family to her. Then, I can travel around the world with Gong Yu.”
Hearing her words, everyone felt happy for Murong Yunxi. After all, she had experienced so many difficulties in her life. They were really pleased to see her happiness. She deserved to be happy to compensate for all the suffering she had experienced.
Of course, some were happy but some were upset. At this moment, Murong Niannian was the most upset one. Her wonderful teenage years would be tied up by her mother. She could not help complaining, “Mommy, are you really my mom? I am just a kid in my tens, so are you willing to destroy my days?”
Murong Yunxi wore a vicious smile and her eyes shone with light. “Your uncle also threw this at me ruthlessly. Therefore, I should also pass along this duty as soon as possible. Of course, if you… you still have…”
Murong Yunxi’s smirk made Gong Xi feel terrified, looking at Murong Niannian alertly.
Sure enough, Murong Niannian was also staring at him with the same look as Murong Yunxi. He seemed to be prey for her.
Everyone who was watching their conversation burst into laughter. Happiness bloomed like sacred fireworks over their heads.
Happiness, perhaps, would always be around them.
