Murong Ye looked up at the door. A man with long hair came in, wearing a black trench coat, followed by two men in black suits.
His long hair was tied behind his head. Wearing black sungla.s.ses, the man was above average in height, which made him taller than Murong Ye and Gong Yu. Dressing in all black showed his cold nature, just like an insulator, and his presence could easily drive people away.
"When I heard that Big Master Murong had come here, I thought my men were wrong. I didn"t expect that it was really you." The man had a unique accent of foreigners speaking Chinese. Apparently, he couldn"t speak Chinese very well. Not only was his p.r.o.nunciation not standard, but his sentences also had some grammatical errors.
Murong Ye narrowed his eyes, and the atmosphere around him seemed more gloomy and cold. A smell of Death once again filled the air, making Murong Yunxi feel a little chilly.
"Ken, what are you doing here!" Murong Ye said these words in an even colder tone, and the rejection sounded so obvious.
"Oh? I"m not welcome?" Ken took off his sungla.s.ses and an indistinct smile lit up in his eyes.
To Murong Yunxi"s surprise, Ken had one black eye and one blue eye. Murong Yunxi was astonished by such heterogeneous eyes. However, it was not difficult to tell from Ken"s appearance that he had to be of mixed parentage—half-Asian, half-European.
But Ken"s appearance was really scary, not only his heterogeneous eyes, all of his facial features terrified people, and they would take him as a fright at first glance.
"It"s not that you"re unwelcome, I just hoped to never see you again!"
"Oh! Ye, you are so unfriendly, it hurts my heart."
Murong Ye was reluctant to continue their chat. He just walked to the door and tried to leave directly.
But when Ken cast his eyes on Murong Yunxi"s face, he was slightly surprised. "Who are you?"
Murong Ye had already pa.s.sed by Ken. When he heard Ken"s sudden question, he immediately stopped, turned around, and marched over to Murong Yunxi"s side. He held Murong Yunxi in his arms, and walked to the door while saying coldly, "You don"t need to know."
Murong Yunxi was surrounded by Murong Ye and Gong Yu on either side. They seemed to be very urgently protecting her, which made her become nervous.
Ken strode forward toward Murong Ye and stretched out his long arm to block the way. "Wait, Ye, she"s funny."
"Don"t even think about it."
"Then tell me who she is."
"It"s none of your business. Don"t bother your head with this! Do what I tell you, or else!"
"Oh! It"s getting more and more interesting. I like this game."
"This is not your game. She has nothing to do with you."
"Why don"t you tell me who she is? Your sister?"
"It"s none of your business. You"d better stop, or I will..."
Before Murong Ye finished his words, Ken burst out laughing, though the laughter was even more terrifying.
"Haha... Ye, am I right?"
"I said, don"t even think about it."
"I"m right! You need to remember what I once said."
"Ken!"
As Murong Ye shouted, the cold light in his eyes was like a sword. It gave people chills on their back.
But Ken didn"t seem to be afraid. His dreadful laugh lingered in the room.
Murong Ye pushed Ken away and walked out of the room with Murong Yunxi in his arms.
On the way home, as Murong Yunxi glanced at the frozen look on Murong Ye"s face, she couldn"t help asking, "Brother, who is that Ken..."
"From now on, if you accidentally run into Ken, stay away from him."
"He is?"
"He"s a mafia leader."
"Well! But what does he mean by "what I once said"?"
"He used to..." Murong Ye"s face became more gloomy. After a pause, he continued. "He once went after me, but I refused him. Then he said that if I had a sister, he would not let her go easily."
"Ah?" When Murong Yunxi looked at Murong Ye in surprise, she immediately noticed the sudden icy atmosphere around Gong Yu. She turned around and found that Gong Yu looked very pale.
She gently grasped Gong Yu"s big hand and comforted him with a tightened strength.
"You have to stay away from him. He"s a very dangerous person."
"Oh? But I"m married!"
"He won"t care so much! This person is very calculating and powerful. Most strikingly, he likes to play the field and has been involved with tons of men and women. There is no moral bottom line for him."
"All right! But brother, how did you meet someone like that?"
"We were once rivals in one business. It was an unexpected coincidence. Despite all that, he is a good business partner, and he has his own way to get things done."
"Oh, I really didn"t see it."
"Anyway, you have to stay away from him."
"Okay, I got it."
When they returned to the villa, it was already after 10 o"clock in the evening. Although Murong Yunxi slept well during the day, she still felt sleepy.
Back in the room, she took a bath and fell asleep immediately.
Late at night, everyone was in deep sleep, while an unexpected visitor slipped into the villa.
A man in black deftly avoided all the monitoring equipment of the villa, then went to the balcony of Murong Yunxi"s room. While he was trying to open the balcony door, Gong Yu opened his eyes alertly.
When the door lock clicked, the sound was perceptible in the quiet night. Gong Yu listened carefully, every cell of his body becoming alert. He raised his head slightly and stared toward the balcony. Through the curtain, he saw a dark shadow opening the balcony door softly.
Gong Yu instantly got out of bed and made a light leap to stand by the balcony door.
Gong Yu stuck his body to the inside wall, watching for the movement outside the door. Suddenly, the curtain was slightly raised on one side. A hand was trying to lift the window and get into the room. Gong Yu instantly grabbed the hand.
The hand didn"t expect this sudden act, and it froze for a moment. Gong Yu took the opportunity to push out the man in black and then jump out as well.
On the balcony, Gong Yu smoothly fought with the man in black. Although their movements were quiet enough, Murong Ye was awakened. He slept next door and was always on guard. He quickly opened the door and went to the balcony, and the scene of two people fighting came into sight.
Murong Ye jumped over the railing and landed on the balcony.
"Go and check on Xiao Xi!" Gong Yu said to Murong Ye in a low voice.
Murong Ye nodded and went into the house.
The man in black made several moves against Gong Yu and felt himself on the losing side. After a few more moves, he jumped off the balcony and fled to the gate.
Gong Yu ended the fight, he didn"t chase after him. After giving a sharp look at the disappearing black figure in the distance, he turned back into the house.
Murong Yunxi was still asleep quietly. Murong Ye asked in a low voice, "Where is the man?"
"Gone!"
"Well, the man must be collecting information ahead of time."
"He seemed to be familiar with the terrain here. The direction that he snuck in and escaped was very clear."
"Indeed, the villa"s security is relatively strict. Still he was able to pa.s.s by it, which means that he knew this place, or at least he was fully prepared."
"Well, what are we going to do next?"
"We"ll do nothing till the right moment."
"Won"t that put us in an unfavorable position?"
"We need to be patient to snare a fox."
"Well, I see."
Murong Ye turned around and looked at Murong Yunxi, who was still sleeping soundly. He shook his head softly and said, "The girl is so carefree to be able to sleep so deeply."
"She"s tired, and she hasn"t experienced anything like this."
"She needs to be trained, otherwise I will worry about her in the future."
"Don"t worry, I"m on it!"
"She is so spoiled by you!"
"I just want her to have an easy life and not worry too much."
Murong Ye smiled and patted Gong Yu on the shoulder. "All right, go to sleep!"
Then he left the balcony and jumped over the balcony to his room.
Gong Yu locked the balcony door and went to bed, lying beside Murong Yunxi.
By the moonlight, Gong Yu looked at the sleeping Murong Yunxi and smiled in his mind.
The next morning, when Murong Yunxi woke up, she wanted to have a good stretch. Yet she couldn"t because she was surrounded by a strong arm. She frowned slightly and turned to look at Gong Yu crossly.
Then Murong Yunxi perceived the dark circles around Gong Yu"s eyes, and she felt a little sorry.
She quietly lay back in Gong Yu"s arms while staring at him.
A moment later, Gong Yu woke up and opened his eyes. He saw Murong Yunxi staring at him with big black eyes.
Gong Yu smiled and joked, "What"s wrong? Are you enchanted by my handsome face?"
Teasing Murong Yunxi made him feel happy, so he started the joke without even thinking about it.
Murong Yunxi rolled her eyes at Gong Yu. "You wish!"
Gong Yu raised his beautiful eyebrows slightly, which dissolved into a smile. "Isn"t it true?"
"Yes, of course! You are the most handsome man in the world!" Murong Yunxi said insincerely, her words sounding perfunctory and mocking.
"Mind your att.i.tude! Is your husband not handsome? Or do I make you feel self-contempt?"
Instead of continuing the quarrel, Murong Yunxi gently touched Gong Yu"s eyelids.
"Why do you have black circles around your eyes? Didn"t you sleep at night?"
Gong Yu went silent for a few seconds, he couldn"t help thinking of last night...
