Yun Muxi frowned, looking at Murong Qingtian, and asked confusedly, "Back to Murong Family?"
Murong Qingtian took a sip of wine and said indifferently, "Yes, go back to Murong Family! You can"t always drift outside. And accidents occurred frequently around you, which made me quite concerned about you always floating outside. It would be better if you come back."
Yun Muxi still hesitated. She said, "But..."
Murong Qingtian looked at Yun Muxi with some impatientness. He said, "Well, don"t say but any more. Where do you find so many excuses? You are too hesitant about everything. You are too coy, always, not only to Gong Yu, but also to us. I don"t know where your concerns come from, but I know that you should stay with your brother and let him train you. Hope you would be just like your brother, make decisions faster. But it"s not all your fault. Drifting outside for so many years, with no one teaching you nor guiding you, now that you are back, let your brother teach you more."
"But I am satisfied with what I am doing now, writing something to make a living. I am not capable of learning what my brother is doing."
"If you like to write, you can also write in your spare time. If you learn from your brother, then in the future you can share the burden for him. Otherwise, your brother will work to death since our Murong Family has such a big family business."
Murong Ye suddenly interjected, "Father, if Xiao Xi is willing to learn, I will try to teach her. But if she does not like this, I hope she can continue to do what she likes and I don"t want her to sacrifice for the family."
Murong Qingtian glanced at Murong Ye, "You have to know that you will be very hard."
Murong Ye chuckled and said, "You managed to survive, didn"t you? I can do what you can do."
Murong Qingtian sighed softly and said, "Because I am alone, I know how tired it is. Why did I throw the family business to you so early? In fact, it was because I want to relax for a few years. I led Murong Family to what it is like now all by myself, which is different from the Murong family in the past, so you should know how much I have paid for. This is also what I think I have owned you over years. If I hadn"t worked so hard, you would have been happier than you were now."
Murong Qingtian said with a guilty look. He owed too much to this son.
These words touched Murong Ye. He knew that his father did love him, and did care about him. It was really that his father had too many difficulties, such as the guilt to his mother, the guilt to him, and even the guilt to Yun Muxi.
"Father, don"t say these things. All these had gone. Now that Xiao Xi is back, it is time for a family reunion. If I can make all of you live a happy life, I will also be happy even if I am tired, let alone it is not simple for Murong Family to get where we are today. I don"t want to let Xiao Xi get involved. I want her to live a simple life, and it is better to let her live the life she wants."
Hearing they saying so much, Yun Muxi was touched with some waves in her mind. She should not be too selfish. If she returns to Murong Family, she will be part of Murong Family. She should also a.s.sume some family responsibilities and should not enjoy leisure alone.
"Brother, if you need me in the future, I will come back to help you. I don"t mean to leave all the heavy burdens to you when I say I don"t want to partic.i.p.ate. I just don"t want other people to think that I come back to Murong Family for a slice of the family. I don"t want to compete with you for anything. All I want is to lead a peaceful life. But if one day you need me, I will definitely come back to help you."
Looking at Yun Muxi, who was in a serious look, Murong Ye"s heart was quite moved: "Xiao Xi, no matter whether you come back to help me or not, you always have part of Murong Family. Even if you want all, I will give them to you. We are brother and sister. I don"t want any rivalry between us, battling for interests, even trying to kill each other. If you want all of the family, I can give you all."
"Brother, I am the same att.i.tude. But that"s not the reason I come back to Murong Family."
Seeing what they were doing, Murong Qingtian was pleased and relieved. He said, "Seeing you two like this, I am really content. Naturally, Murong Family will belong to you two. You will have what you deserve in any case."
When Gong Yu hearing their words, he felt very impressed. If his family were like this, how good it would be. But the truth was that the three of them, he and his brothers, had already on the edge of fratricide, which had made him completely disappointed.
Yun Muxi happened to see the faint sorrow on Gong Yu"s face from the corner of her eyes and she immediately understood what he was thinking about. She reached out her hands and clung to the hand of Gong Yu, looking at Gong Yu with concern.
Gong Yu turned around and just faced the beautiful black eyes. Looking straight into the eyes, he could tell all the emotions at a glance, which made his heart warmer a little bit. He had made the right choice, giving up such a family and choosing this warm love.
Gong Yu held the hands of Yun Muxi in return and there was endless affection in his eyes.
Murong Qingtian suddenly said, "In this case, Xiao Ye, choose a day to organize a family dinner to introduce Xiao Xi officially to everyone. Since Xiao Xi does not want to partic.i.p.ate in the family business now, then don"t make it public."
Murong Ye nodded and took the job. Murong Ye was very clear that it was not because Murong Qingtian was not unwilling to confess to Yun Muxi, but because Murong Qingtian wanted to protect Yun Muxi in a better way. A tall tree caught the wind. Now, Yun Muxi didn"t have enough ability to protect herself.
Something suddenly came to Murong Ye"s mind. He looked up at Murong Qingtian and said, "Then, is that the surname of Xiao Xi should also be changed? After all, she is a Murong now. I am afraid stilling holding the surname of Yun would be...?"
Saying this, Murong Ye turned to Yun Muxi. Since he knew that Yun Muxi"s feelings for her adoptive parents were very deep, he did not know whether she would be willing to change her family name.
Yun Muxi was a little bit struggled deep in her heart. She said, "In fact, I don"t care about the surname. It"s just a code name. I just think that keeping the surname of Yun could at least leave a few memories about my adoptive parents with me."
Murong Qingtian thought for a while and felt this was hard to solve. He was, definitely, willing to let Yun Muxi change her surname to Murong, but he also knew that the Yun Family was very good to Yun Muxi in these years, and the Yun Family had been kind to Yun Muxi, so...
Gong Yu saw that everyone was in an awkward situation. He suddenly opened his mouth and said, "In that case, what if let Xiao Xi kept both Murong and Yun in her surname? She can be called Murong Yunxi."
Murong Ye chuckled and said, "Well, Murong Yunxi sounds very nice." But after thinking about it, he continued and said, "But the surnames of all the children of our generation consist of only one character, right?"
Murong Qingtian thought about it for a while and said, "Xiao Xi can be a special case. If Xiao Xi likes it, then she can change the name as Murong Yunxi."
Yun Muxi nodded and said, "It"s fine with me."
Gong Yu looked at Niannian and hesitated for a moment. He still decided to ask, "Then, does that mean Niannian needs to change her family name."
Yun Muxi turned her head and looked at Niannian, and Niannian also looked up at Yun Muxi.
Yun Muxi turned to look at Gong Yu and asked, "Is that okay with you that Niannian will have the same surname as mine and the child unborn as yours?"
Gong Yu nodded and said indifferently, "That"s fine by me, you know, I..."
Gong Yu looked at Yun Muxi, and Yun Muxi suddenly understood. In fact, the original surname of Gong Yu was not Gong but Duanmu. Thus, whether the baby unborn was with his surname as Gong or not, he did not care.
Yun Muxi looked at Murong Qingtian and Murong Night. She said, "Then let"s change Niannian"s name to Murong Nian. The second child"s surname will be Gong."
This simple meal seemed to determine a lot of things. Just after a few days, Murong Ye arranged a family party.
From the morning, the Murongs" main house began to get busy. The servants who had been out of sights suddenly appeared. The house was extremely crowded. It was not until the afternoon that everyone stopped. It was obvious that Murong Qingtian and Murong Ye had paid a lot of attention to this family party.
In the evening, the guests came one after another.
Gong Yu drove Yun Muxi and Niannian to the old house of the Murongs. Today, Yun Muxi wore a white evening gown and Niannian wore a mini version of her dress of the same series. Gong Yu prepared these for them deliberately.
Gong Yu himself also chose a white cutaway coat, and the three people appeared in front of everyone as if they were wearing parent-child costumes.
Yun Muxi looked like a princess, and Niannian looked like a little princess, while Gong Yu was like a prince who was escorting the princesses.
Murong Ye saw the three people first. He greeted. "Xiaoxi, here you are."
Yun Muxi smiled and greeted Murong Ye, "Brother, you must be tired."
"Oh... I"m not tired, my father and I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. We are so happy to see the day when you come back to the Murong Family. For this, we will be happy to keep busy for a month or even a year. Well, let"s go, let"s get in."
Yun Muxi nodded. She followed Murong Ye into the main house with Niannian.
After entering the house, the three people first came upstairs to the study room to greet Murong Qingtian. Murong Qingtian smiled brightly, which showed his good mood.
They talked for a while, and then Murong Ye walked in and said, "Father, everyone is here. Let"s go down together."
Murong Qingtian walked arm in arm with Yun Muxi, who was followed by Gong Yu, holding Niannian in his arms. Murong Ye walked behind Murong Qingtian. They walked downstairs.
When they appeared on the stairs, the people downstairs suddenly quiet down, and they looked at the stairs one after another.
It was no doubt that they all boasted beautiful appearances. Although Murong Qingtian was nearly sixty years old, he was still full of spirits and arrogance, tall and straight, wearing a fit black hand-made suit; Yun Muxi looked like a n.o.ble princess, beautiful and elegant; Gong Yu and Murong Ye behind them were equally good-looking and handsome. The two men, one in black and the other in white, were wearing cutaway coats, which made people unable to look away.
The charming appearance of this family surpa.s.sed all the people present in no time.
Murong Qingtian walked downstairs arm in arm with Yun Muxi, step by step, as elegantly as the figures came out from the paintings.
When they finally went downstairs, everyone came and gathered around them.
Murong Qingtian cleared his throat and introduced to everyone with a smile. He said, "All the family members, today I host this feast, mainly to introduce a lost child of our Murong Family to you."
Murong Qingtian smiled at Yun Muxi and continued to say, "This is the daughter I, Murong Qingtian, had lost in the past, the daughter I had been looking for more than 20 years, Murong Yunxi. My wife had to leave Xiao Xi in the hospital after giving birth to her and then she was adopted by a couple of doctors. They treated her as their own daughter. It is a pity that the foster parents of Xiao Xi, who were really kind people, pa.s.sed away one after another. In the past few years, Xiao Xi has suffered a lot on her own. Fortunately, Xiao Ye found her. Now, Xiao Xi"s return to our Murong Family settled the regret of my wife and made me realize my dream for years."
Yun Muxi smiled and bowed to everyone, and then said, "In the future, we are of the same family. Hope we can get along well with each other."
Murong Qingtian then pulled Gong Yu and Nian Nian to the side of Yun Muxi and continued to introduce to everyone, "This is my daughter"s husband, Gong Yu, and this is their child, Niannian, Murong Nian."
At this time, Murong Qingtian"s sister Murong Lanxi suddenly asked, "Xiao Xi should only be twenty-three years old, I guess. Why is her child such a big girl?"
