Murong Ye and the two kids didn’t come home until it got dark. Besides, Yun Muxi was amazed that the two kids enjoyed themselves a lot that they returned home muddy.

She thought that Murong Ye was way too competent, for Niannian never played in such a dirty form when she was with her.

“Brother, are they your art products?” Murong Yunxi pointed at the two children, teasing with Murong Ye.

It seemed that Murong Ye was in a good mood. He laughed livelily. “All right! Do you think I am gifted in art?”

Murong Yunxi glared at Murong Ye and said, “Do you really think I’m praising you? Where is your self-knowledge?”

After that, she took the two muddy kids to take a shower.

Murong Ye sighed with emotion when he saw that Murong Yunxi go upstairs holding a kid in each of her hands. He thought that he and the two kids were really crazy for fun today, and he asked himself how could Murong Yunxi bring up the two kids by herself?

It was really hard to look after children, for it was not only a matter of consuming energy, but also a matter of consuming intelligence. At present, children were so naughty and clever, and adults couldn’t make a fool of them.

Murong Yunxi took care of Niannian so well that Murong Ye felt moved a bit.

When Murong Yunxi and the two kids returned from the bathroom, Gong Yu, Murong Ye, and Murong Qingtian were waiting for them by the dining table. The steward was so considerate that he prepared local dishes of specialties for them according to their tastes.

White and clean plates were full of foods for each person, and the color, aroma, and taste were way authentic.

The two girls went wild playing for a whole afternoon, so they were extremely hungry. At the sight of the foods, they ran to the table immediately, climbing onto the chair with their twisty bodies.

Murong Yunxi shook her head with a smile, following the two girls and sitting between them. It seemed that the two girls were tacit to each other that they always sat on the two sides of Murong Yunxi. Now, they left the middle seat to her naturally.

When Murong Qingtian was about to say “Let’s get started” after Murong Yunxi sat down, Murong Ye’s phone rang.

Murong Qingtian glared at Murong Ye, displeased, and then Murong Ye said “sorry” to him regretfully and walked out of the dining room with his phone.

Murong Ye looked not well when he came back. Murong Yunxi couldn’t help asking him, “Brother, you look not good, who called you?”

Murong Ye glanced at Murong Qingtian with a hesitant look. Murong Qingtian saw Murong Ye through and said gruffly, “Just say it. We are family, there is nothing you can’t tell.”

Murong Ye was still a little hovered, and then Murong Qingtian said coldly and impatiently, “Just say it!”

Murong Ye lowered his eyes and said slightly, “Second Uncle, Second Uncle’s dead.”

Everyone felt astounded at the news, especially Murong Qingtian, whose eyes apparently showed a tinge of sadness and disbelief.

Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu turned their heads to Murong Qingtian. Although Murong Qingtian’s impression was a little complicated, his hands on the table gave him away.

Murong Qingtian’s hands were shaking slightly, but his repression was clearly.

Murong Yunxi walked to Murong Qingtian and squatted beside him, raising her head to watch him. Her warm small hands covered Murong Qingtian’s quite old hands, and she said, “Dad…”

Murong Qingtian waved his hand, hinting Murong Yunxi not to persuade him, but he asked Murong Ye, “When did it happen?”.

Murong Ye said sadly, “Yesterday.”

To Murong Haotian, Murong Ye had a complicated feeling. In terms of emotion, Murong Haotian was his uncle, but in terms of ration, Murong Haotian had done so many bad things that Murong Ye couldn’t forgive him. Murong Haotian even touched his bottom line more than once, and he had given him many chances.

“You did it?” Murong Qingtian lay back directly on the chair but didn’t look at Murong Ye. He watched the plate in front of him, for he was afraid to hear his reply.

To his surprise, Murong Ye said gently, “No! I didn’t kill him. He went to America to hide, and Zhuang Yaru heard the news from someone and chased him secretly. She quarreled with him when she found he had another woman in America. They fought, and then Zhuang Yaru hit him by accident, killed him to death with a knife.”

Murong Qingtian felt settled after hearing Murong Ye’s words. What he afraid most was that Murong Ye killed his close kin. He could accept him to commit murder and arson but couldn’t bear him to kill his family. Now he was sure that Murong Ye didn’t do it, he had a feeling of rejoice.

But it seemed that he still had a tinge of hope, asking Murong Ye, “Is the message reliable? Couldn’t it be mistaken?”

Murong Ye shook his head. “I’m sure that the message is true. Fourth brought the message. After that matter happened, I asked Second and Fourth to spy on Second Uncle for I was afraid that he had some bad ideas and also, I wanted to assemble some proofs of him to take him down so that he wouldn’t be capable of doing other bad things. But I never thought he would die.”

“What about Zhuang Yaru…?”

“It seemed that Zhuang Yaru was stimulated. She is crazy now and has been sent to a sanitarium.”

Murong Qingtian’s eyes glowed, looking at Murong Ye in a hesitant way.

Murong Ye looked at Murong Qingtian and nodded his head. “I don’t accept it as a coincidence, either. I had sent Fourth to investigate it.”

Murong Yunxi suddenly thought of Xuanxuan’s mom. She asked desperately, “How about Xuanxuan’s mom?”

“Xuanxuan’s mom… she had been grounded by Second Uncle for a long time. You saw her bad situation last time as well, she suffered from severe depression. In fact, she had tried to commit suicide several times, but Second Uncle’s subordinates spied her without slack, so she didn’t succeed. Now Second Uncle’s dead, others were busy in handling his funeral and neglected her, and she slit her wrists and was found dead this morning.”

Murong Yunxi gasped in shock, and her face was a little pale. Murong Yunxi didn’t like Gu Yuxuan’s mom, for she abandoned Gu Yuxuan when Gu Yuxuan was a little kid. So she felt unfair for Gu Yuxuan. But last time she felt complicated when she saw Gu Yuxuan’s mom’s situation. Additionally, she was disappointed about her death, for she didn’t know what if Gu Yuxuan knew this bad news.

The unexpected phone call made the atmosphere in the dining room dull, so everyone finished their dinner hastily and went to bed.

After all, they were out to go for a trip, so the following day, everyone traveled to surrounding areas which was arranged by the steward. In such a special landscape in a foreign country, all the sorrow seemed to escape. The steward arranged the schedule well, and everyone had a good time. Moreover, the two happy and naive kids played a lot, even way too far.

When the trip was about to be over, the steward arranged a barbecue in the yard the night before the day they would set off for home.

Except for Murong Yunxi, who did not drink, and the two kids, the three men unexpectedly got a little drunk. Additionally, they talked extremely much under the effect of alcohol.

Gong Yu held Murong Yunxi and nestled in her arms like a spoiled child. As for Murong Ye and Murong Qingtian, they prated like brothers.

It was getting dark unconsciously. The two girls snuggled up with each other and fell asleep. Murong Yunxi wanted to hold them to the bedroom, but Gong Yu just didn’t let her go, keeping losing his temper like a kid. Murong Yunxi couldn’t help but let him do so, and asked the steward to hold the two kids to the room. With Gong Yu nestled in her arms, she listened to the opposite Murong Ye and Murong Qingtian’s exaggerate brags.

Suddenly, Murong Ye stayed silent, looking into the sky with a tinge of sorrow. He talked to the sky in a consecutive voice. “Mom, I miss you very much. How are you? Sorry, I didn’t carry out the promise I had made when I was young. Once I told you that I would be a well-known painter, drawing the most beautiful painting as you did. But, but I didn’t make it.”

After that, Murong Ye buried his face in his hands, seeming to cry, or maybe he just felt sad. In a word, it left a deep impression on Murong Yunxi.

…

Three months later.

Murong Yunxi, Murong Xu, Gong Yu, and Gu Chengkang waited outside the delivery room.

Gong Yu sat on a chair, arms around Murong Yunxi. Murong Yunxi felt a little nervous and kept looking at the delivery room, holding one of Gong Yu’s hands tightly with both hands, almost breaking his bone.

Murong Xu was more nervous that he kept pacing around Murong Yunxi. He suddenly stood still in front of Murong Yunxi for 99 times and said, “Xiao Xi, you gave birth to a baby before. Do you know how long it will be before Xuanxuan could come out?”

Murong Yunxi also felt stressed. If she knew the answer to Murong Xu’s question, she would have felt that nervous.

“How can I know that? Each woman has different conditions when giving birth to a kid. What’s more, I don’t know whether Xuanxuan is going well or not with it.”

Gu Chengkang kept rubbing his hands and shaking his legs. It was unclear whether he was just talking to himself or he wanted to make Murong Xu feel worse as he whispered, “Ah! Xuanxuan’s mom had difficult labor when giving birth to Xuanxuan, she was on the brink of death caused by hemorrhage. Does Xuanxuan have the same condition as her mom?”

Although he was whispering, the corridor was quite quiet that others present all took in his words. However, he completely didn’t look at those eyes that glared at him in panic, and said, “It won’t happen, it won’t happen. Xuanxuan inherited nothing from her mom, let alone this one.”

The door opened when everyone was about to feel anxious. A doctor came out, saying “Congratulations, the baby and his mom are both safe.”

All of a sudden, everyone cheered with pleasure. At the moment, Murong Yunxi suddenly held Gong Yu’s arms and vomited. Everyone felt astonished.

Two hours later.

Gong Yu supported Murong Yunxi, walking in the corridor of the hospital. He was so careful that he looked like a little eunuch serving Empress Dowager Cixi.

“Slow down! The doctor said that the baby is only eight weeks old and the condition is not stable, so you should pay close attention to yourself.” Gong Yu whispered to her as if in fear of disturbing her.

Murong Yunxi’s mouth shook slightly. “Mr. Gong, I am walking like a snail, how can I walk more slowly?”

Gong Yu giggled like a childish and silly kid. Moreover, he chuckled like an idiot for 28 times.

All of a sudden, he took back his smile and said seriously, “Ah, I will call big brother and tell him to come back immediately. You are pregnant now and should be free from worries concerning the business. He shouldn’t leave all Murong Family’s matters to you and have fun himself.”

After that, Gong Yu was going to call Murong Ye, but Murong Yunxi dragged his hand instantly and said seriously, “No way! Don’t call big brother, he finally lives a life he wanted. So we can’t hinder him. Moreover, being a traveling artist is both his dream and mom’s dream. We can’t be that selfish to disturb him.”

“Selfish! How can we be selfish! It’s clear that he puts his nephew in danger but enjoys himself to have fun. It’s so ridiculous to say we are selfish!” Gong Yu protested, disgruntled.

Murong Yunxi pulled a long face immediately and said sharply, “I said ‘No’. If you call our big brother back, I will have an abortion at once.”

On hearing what Murong Yunxi said, Gong Yu was terrified and lowered his head to comfort her. “Xiao Xi, I’m sorry, please don’t abort our baby. I will dump Seventh Brother instantly and help you with Murong Family’s business.”

At this time, Murong Yunxi held back her fierce-looking impression and said gently, “Fine, just do what you should do. I can handle with Murong Family’s affairs well. Don’t look down upon me!”

Gong Yu was still unwilling to give up, looking at Murong Yunxi with bitterness. He was like a wronged wife as he continued, “So, Xiao Xi, will you have a second thought?”

Murong Yunxi waved her hands with great vigor, showing a style of leadership. “There is no need to consider again. That’s it! You don’t need to waver.”

Although Gong Yu was not convinced completely, he had to nod his head tactfully and superficially.

” Well, let’s go now to see our Godson. Xuanxuan must be desperate to see us! You are the one to blame, dawdling back and forth.” After saying that, Murong Yunxi fastened her steps, chattering to Gong Yu constantly.

Gong Yu felt nervous at her. He followed her, keeping saying, “Ah! My highness, please slow down, slow down…”

In the corner at the end of the corridor, a black shadow turned away. Ten minutes later, he appeared in the car hastily. He didn’t start the car immediately but called someone. “Hello”.

“What’s the situation?”

“Gu Yuxuan gave birth to a baby, and Murong Ye really left.”

“Em, that’s good!”

“But, there is another unexpected news.”

“Oh! What’s it?”

“Murong Yunxi’s pregnant.”

“Pregnant? Hum, she’s so tough. We can let her go until she gives birth to that baby. I don’t want to go to hell for committing too much sin. So, we can keep her life temporarily! But if she doesn’t behave well, don’t blame me for letting that baby die with her…”

…

In the ward on the other side, everyone was drowning in double happiness, surrounding a tiny boy like a small doll, amusing him gently.

“Come on, Godson, give me a smile.”

“Xiao Xi, you got the wrong generation. You are my cousin, how can you call him Godson?”

“Well, it’s just a call! I’ve discussed with Xuanxuan before, she will be my children’s Godmother, and vise versa. We did agree with this, and you appeared in her life later than that. So, I don’t care…”

Murong Yunxi yelled suddenly before she could finish her words. “Ah… this naughty boy is really your son. He actually peed at my face…”

Following the words, loud laughter that could turn over the roof sounded.
