Yun Muxi took the fruits and snacks brought Murong Qingtian out from the car and hurried towards the building. She had to go to the crew quickly, or she would be late.
Just as Yun Muxi entered the hall, her cell phone rang loudly. Yun Muxi was carrying heavy things in her hand, so, she took out her mobile phone with one hand and put it between her shoulder and ear to hold it. "h.e.l.lo! I"ll be upstairs in a minute. Please wait for a moment."
Yun Muxi thought that it was Gong Yu calling her to urge her, so, she answered without looking at it.
"h.e.l.lo! Xiao Xi."
Yun Muxi did not hear the voice she expected but heard Lu Yang"s voice.
"Oh, it"s you, Lu Yang. What"s up?"
"Well, can"t I call you with nothing special? Or have you been unfamiliar with me since I haven"t contacted you for some days?"
"Of course not. I"m not very convenient to talk on the phone now. If you have nothing to say, I will contact you later!"
The things which Yun Muxi carried in her hand was a little heavy. She felt really uncomfortable at the moment as she talked on the phone. She was in a hurry to hang up the phone. What was more, she was anxious to go to the crew.
"Ah, don"t hang up the phone, Xiao Xi, please don"t. I have something to ask you."
"You have something to ask me? What is it?"
"Well, I"m going to attend a party, but I have to bring a female companion with me. You know, I spend all my time in the army, and I don"t have many female friends, so, I want you to accompany me to join it."
"Ah? That doesn"t sound good! It seems not suitable for me to join it with you."
"Well, I just need you to join it as my female companion, not my girlfriend, so, nothing is inappropriate."
"But I have to go out on location for filming today, and I don"t know when it will be over!"
"That"s okay. I"ll arrange a car to pick you up, and I also prepared a dress for you. When you finish your work, you can just come straight over."
"But ..."
"Ah, Xiao Xi, don"t refuse me. Can you just help me, please? For I have saved your life once."
When Yun Muxi heard that, it was unreasonable for her to refuse him again, so, she replied with hesitation, "Okay, then."
"Xiao Xi, it"s really kind of you! I knew you would help me. Thank you, and I"ll treat you a meal as my appreciation for you."
"Well, you don"t need to treat me a meal..."
"All right. That"s it. Since you gotta something to do, you just go to handle your things. Send me your address later and finish your work earlier so that I can have someone to pick you up. See you tonight!"
Before Yun Muxi could say anything more, Lu Yang hastily hung up the phone. Yun Muxi shook her head helplessly, feeling as if she had been sold to him.
When Yun Muxi went upstairs, Niannian had woken up, and Gong Yu was carefully washing Niannian"s face. Yun Muxi said something to Niannian, and then she hurried to the locations of the crew with Gong Yu.
She had a busy day of filming, and when she finished her work, it was already 4: 00 p.m.
Gong Yu had changed his clothes as he waited for Yun Muxi. Just as Yun Muxi came out of the dressing room, Gong Yu said to her casually, "let"s go for dinner and then go to see Niannian."
Yun Muxi was very tired and did not care much about it. She followed Gong Yu out, and just when they arrived at the side of the road, a black Audi A8 stopped in front of Yun Muxi and a man who dressed up as a driver came down and said to her, "Miss Yun, Master Lu asked me to pick you up."
Gong Yu was slightly shocked for a moment, and he looked at Yun Muxi with a gloomy look.
Yun Muxi suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, I almost forgot that Lu Yang called me this morning and said that he wanted me to accompany him to join a party."
Gong Yu"s face darkened, and he grabbed Yun Muxi"s arm. "Don"t go!"
"Why?"
"Just don"t go."
"But I have already promised Lu Yang."
"Whatever, you can"t go."
The air around Gong Yu became colder and colder, and he stared at Yun Muxi closely as if he were a wolf staring at its food."
Yun Muxi naturally felt a little guilty. "But I have already promised Lu Yang that I"ll go with him."
"Just now, you also agreed that you would go to have dinner with me and go see Niannian later."
"But I promised Lu Yang this morning."
"Yun-Mu-Xi!"
Gong Yu"s words sounded even more threatening, which made Yun Muxi"s heart skip a beat. She even dared not to raise her head to look at Gong Yu"s eyes, and she just lowered her head to stare at her toes.
They were silent for a while before Yun Muxi said softly, "Gong Yu, it seems that we don"t have any actual relationship between us now. You"re in no position to tell me what to do."
Although Yun Muxi felt guilty as she spoke, her tone was decisive, which made Gong Yu feel frustrated. "Yes, I"m indeed in no position to tell her what to do."
Yun Muxi broke off his hand and got on the car without looking back.
Gong Yu coldly watched Yun Muxi get on the car, which roared away. The anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt.
At this time, Xie Ning walked out from behind Gong Yu and said, "Yo, even you, our Mr. Handsome, can"t keep her. It seems that she has a relationship with another rich guy."
Gong Yu looked back coldly and shouted, "Go away!"
Xie Ning was startled that her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She patted her chest and said dismissively, "Well, Gong Yu, why are you f.u.c.king mad at me? It"s that b.i.t.c.h Yun Muxi who ignored you. You dare to get mad at her!"
Gong Yu scowled at Xie Ning and neared her step by step. Xie Ning was so scared that she almost wetted her pants. Holding her bag, she turned and ran away quickly.
Gong Yu glanced at the fleeing Xie Ning and turned to look at the car that had already sped away ...
Yun Muxi immediately regretted after getting on the car. "It was too hasty for me to promise to go to the party with Lu Yang without asking anything."
The driver glanced at Yun Muxi, who was in the back seat, and said respectfully, "Miss Yun, Master Lu said that the box behind is a gift for you. In addition, we are going to a hair studio to style your hair."
Yun Muxi was slightly shocked. "Master? Isn"t Lu Yang the commander of the air force?"
"Yes, our master is the commander of the air force."
Yun Muxi was even more surprised. It was beyond her expectation that Lu Yang was not as simple as what he looked like. He had to be the kid of a rich family.
With doubt, Yun Muxi took up the large paper box next to her. The package of the box was exquisite, and Yun Muxi carefully opened it. Inside, a white gauze dress was delicately folded, and because of this, she could not see the design of the whole dress. She could only see that the neckline of the dress was a V-collar, and there were small diamonds and gemstones studded on the chest part. They looked glittering and extremely beautiful.
There was a small part.i.tion in the box. On the other side of the part.i.tion, there were a pair of silver high-heeled shoes. The shoes matched well with the dress. The high-heeled shoes looked n.o.ble and elegant. They were so beautiful that Yun Muxi suddenly thought of Cinderella"s gla.s.s slipper.
Yun Muxi couldn"t help scolding and mocking herself. "Do you think that you"re Cinderella? At Midnight, everything will go up in smoke."
Yun Muxi pondered for a moment and said to the driver, "Hi, please let me get off at the crossing ahead, and this dress is too expensive to accept for me. Please bring my thanks to your master for his kindness."
The driver looked at Yun Muxi in the rear-view mirror with an embarra.s.sed expression. "Miss Yun, our master said that if I couldn"t bring you to him, I"ll be fired. Don"t put me in a dilemma please."
Yun Muxi looked at the driver, who looked worried, and picked up her cell phone to call Lu Yang. "h.e.l.lo, is it Lu Yang?"
"Xiao Xi? Have you finished your work and seen the present I gave to you? Do you like it?"
"Lu Yang, I have been turning it over in my mind and I think it"s not appropriate. I"m not going to party."
"How can you do that? You have promised me and how can you break your words? Xiao Xi, if you run away now, where can I find another female companion?"
"But, I didn"t want to go at first. It was you who asked me to go."
"Xiao Xi, please consider it as doing me a favor! please, Xiao Xi!"
Yun Muxi had no choice but to compromise again.
The driver took Yun Muxi to an image design hall. When Yun Muxi got off the car, she felt the facade of the hall very elegant and that it had to be a place where rich and powerful families and superstars often patronized.
When Yun Muxi was watching the designing of the facade, Lu Yang came to her from the hall and said, "Xiao Xi, you are here! Come on, I"ve arranged everything for you inside."
Lu Yang looked very different today. In the past, he wore either military uniform or casual clothes, but today, he was wearing a white straight tuxedo suit. His hairstyle was also specially made, and he looked extremely handsome. In fact, Lu Yang, who was far less handsome than Gong Yu and Mou Yichen, was not much worse than the two handsome men after dressing up like this today.
"Lu Yang, is this ..."
"Oh, I asked you for help today. Of course, everything should be prepared by me."
Having said that, he pulled Yun Muxi into the hall. He didn"t give Yun Muxi any opportunity to refuse him and directly pushed her into a dressing room.
The design of the dressing room was exquisite and shiny. The bottles and cans on the table were all cosmetics of various famous brands, and some of them were even limited editions. Yun Muxi was not good at dressing herself up, and she hardly wore makeup. Therefore, she had no research on cosmetics at all. She even had no idea about what the liquid in the bottles was used for.
A very dexterous little girl walked up to Yun Muxi and greeted her gracefully. "h.e.l.lo, Miss Yun, I"m Betty, and I"m your stylist today."
With a bright smile on his face, Lu Yang said beside her, "Xiao Xi, though Betty looks young, she has a lot of experience. She is Tina"s junior sister apprentice. You know, Tina, the chief make-up artist of Xinghuang International Entertainment Group. Betty"s ability is definitely not lower than Tina"s. I believe she can make you look beautiful today."
Yun Muxi frowned slightly. All the things were far beyond her expectation. She said faintly, "Lu Yang, I"m afraid this is not good!"
"Oh, Xiao Xi, don"t waste your time and do your modeling. Today, I asked you for help and I"ll arrange everything for you. You should cooperate with me. Thank you very much."
Lu Yang pushed Yun Muxi"s shoulders and let her sit down on the chair before the dressing table.
Betty had a look at Yun Muxi and said with great satisfaction, "Well, it"s very easy for me to dress Miss Yun up today as she looks so beautiful even without make-up. It won"t take me much effort to do it."
Having said that, Betty began to make up Yun Muxi"s face at once.
Lu Yang sat on the sofa leisurely and picked up a magazine to read.
Suddenly, a woman"s voice came from the door. "Betty, I came here only for you today."
