Gong Yu sat on the floor and leaned against the sofa. He stared at the sleeping Yun Muxi with an infatuated gaze. He looked at her delicate features that seemed to have an additional layer of halo. Her full lips were still a little swollen, which makes it look even more inviting.

Gong Yu was deeply in love with her. He was addicted to her and would never want to let her hand go.

Withdrawing his greedy thought, he carried the small Yun Muxi lovingly in his arms and brought her back to the big bed in the bedroom.

Gently caressing her silky black hair, his gaze was filled with love and affection. He looked at her for a long time and could not look away...

When Yun Muxi woke up, she felt sore and pain throughout her body. She was immediately reminded of the embarra.s.sing details from the night before and her cheeks turned red.

Niannian woke up and saw Yun Muxi staring at the ceiling wide-eyed. She wondered what Yun Muxi was thinking about. She crawled towards her side and asked in a sweet voice, "Good morning, mommy! What are you thinking about?"

Yun Muxi was startled at her voice. She looked towards her in shock and smiled, "Good morning sweetheart!"

Yun Muxi was just about to get off the bed when she suddenly felt a cold breeze. She quickly crawled into her blanket. She turned to Niannian and asked awkwardly, "Niannian, go wash up first, I"ll come later!"

Niannian had already noticed that she was undressed. She teased, "Mommy, why aren"t you dressed? Aren"t you shy?"

Yun Muxi"s face was flushed red. She replied very comfortably, "Um... I felt very hot when I was sleeping last night."

"Oh really? But I didn"t feel that it was hot. Mommy, are you having a fever again?"

Niannian thoughtfully placed her hand on Yun Muxi"s forehead. Because of her embarra.s.sment, Yun Muxi"s forehead was indeed very hot. Feeling the high temperature, Niannian exclaimed, "Mommy! You"re having a fever! I have to go tell Daddy Yu!"

Before finishing her words, she had already jumped off the bed and ran towards the door.

Yun Muxi was fl.u.s.tered and cried out, "Niannian, there"s no need! I"m fine!"

Right after she finished her sentence, she suddenly recalled that Gong Yu was sleeping on the sofa. Without thinking, she grabbed a robe and wrapped it around herself. She ran out of the door but Niannian had already run out of the house. There was no one in the living room and there was a folded blanket on the sofa. Little Cutie hopped to Yun Muxi and wiggled its tail excitedly.

Gong Yu opened his door and found a sleepy Niannian at his door. She shouted, "Daddy Yu, go look at mommy! Her forehead is very hot! I think she is having a fever again!"

Gong Yu frowned. Could she have gotten a cold last night?

Full of questions, he carried Niannian and walked over to Yun Muxi"s house. Upon entering, he found a startled Yun Muxi in the living room. He asked out of concern, "What"s wrong? Niannian said that you have a fever. Did you catch a cold last night?"

Yun Muxi"s cheeks turned bright red. She tried to explain awkwardly, "No... No such thing! Don"t listen to her nonsense!"

Gong Yu noticed her unnatural blush and could not help but to worry. He leaned towards her and whispered in her ear, "Why? Were you not satisfied last night? Did you want to...?"

Yun Muxi was even more fl.u.s.tered. "Nonsense! No such thing!"

Gong Yu gazed down towards the fl.u.s.tered Yun Muxi. His sudden realization of how cute she was filled his heart with warmth. However, his gaze off her from above caused him to notice something enticing beneath the robe. Naturally, his body reacted again. He quickly looked away and coughed, "Do you have breakfast?"

Yun Muxi glared at him and replied in a calm voice, "You wait here, I"ll make you breakfast."

Niannian was by their side all along and did not understand the interaction between the adults. She asked curiously, "Daddy Yu, is mommy not sick? But her forehead is very hot!"

"Oh no, she"s just feeling a little hot!"

"Oh, so that"s why! I was wondering why she was sleeping without her clothes! That"s so embarra.s.sing!"

Hearing Niannian"s casual remark, the image of Yun Muxi"s body flashed past his mind and his body reacted again. He quickly snapped out of that thought and caressed Niannian"s head lovingly. "Niannian, go wash up, you"ll be late for school."

Niannian nodded, jumped off his arms, and ran to the bathroom.

Gong Yu walked to the kitchen and saw Yun Muxi in an ap.r.o.n, trying to make breakfast. The morning sun shone through the window and created a halo around her. She was as pretty as an angel. Gong Yu strode towards her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind. He rested his head against her shoulder gently and took in her unique sweet fragrance.

His breath blew gently onto her ears, sending an electrical sensation through her body. Naturally, she moved aside. Gong Yu had no self-control when it came to Yun Muxi, and this action ignited his desire to dominate over her. He started to tease her with his lips on her neck.

Yun Muxi was startled. "Stop!"

Gong Yu"s husky voice was filled with desire. "Weren"t we a good team last night? Why are you reacting differently now?"

Yun Muxi endured the rising desire in her body caused by Gong Yu. She pleaded, "Please, stop! Niannian will see us!"

Gong Yu laughed, "Oh? So that means we can do it when she"s not home? Can I take it as you"re inviting me?"

Yun Muxi pleaded with slight embarra.s.sment. "Please, stop teasing me! You know that"s not what I meant!"

Gong Yu was having fun teasing her. "Oh? Then what did you mean?"

Yun Muxi stared at him in distress. She knew that he was teasing her yet she found herself not being able to be mad at him. "You..."

Yun Muxi looked at her being air-tight and stopped teasing her. "Fine, I"ll stop! I"ll go check on Niannian. By the way, don"t forget what you promised me yesterday!"

Yun Muxi froze. She asked in confusion, "Promise you? What did I promise you yesterday?"

Gong Yu raised his brow and asked with a ruffian tone, "Why? You don"t remember? Or are you pretending to forget everything from last night?"

Yun Muxi tried to recall very hard but could not remember what she promised yesterday. She could not help but to ask again, "Did I really promise you something? Are you fooling me?"

Gong Yu pretended to be mad and flicked on her forehead. Yun Muxi felt the pain and rubbed her forehead while glaring angrily at him.

Gong Yu finally pushed away his evil thoughts. He knew that he would need to have a long discussion with her and it would take time. Yun Muxi was no longer who he knew her to be. Hence, she did not harp on it. He planted a sweet peck on her bright red cheeks and left the kitchen.

Even after Gong Yu left, Yun Muxi still pondered about it. What am I supposed to do now? It seems like everything is off-track, I can"t control it anymore! Can I really continue like this? Regardless of whether what they were doing was right or wrong, their problems with Tong Nan and Mou Yichen were difficult to solve as well.

Yun Muxi felt like a mistress and found herself doing immoral deeds. She felt extremely morally-corrupted. She was sorry for Tong Nan and Mou Yichen and the more she desired Gong Yu, the stronger her guilt. If she did not plan to accept him eventually, then why bother playing around with him?

Yun Muxi"s mind was filled with millions of messy thoughts and she accidentally cut her finger. Blood started oozing out and she quickly ran her finger under running water. However, the blood did not stop and the water in the basin turned into a sea of red. It was a shocking sight to see.

At the same time, Niannian finished washing up and Gong Yu led her into the kitchen. He saw the whole scene unfold.

He quickly let go of Niannian"s hand and ran towards Yun Muxi. He pulled her hand away from the water and held his thumb against her blood vessel tightly in order to slow down the blood flow. He glared at her fiercely and shouted, "Are you crazy?"

Yun Muxi explained innocently, "I accidentally cut my finger and wanted to rinse it under the water but it"s not stopping!"

"Can you be more stupid! You should think about stopping the bleed first!"

Yun Muxi"s thoughts were full of how his angry tone was full of pity and concern for her. Gong Yu pulled her to the living room. Seeing this scene, Niannian was worried too. She ran up and asked, "What happened to mommy? Why is she bleeding? Mommy, is it painful? I"ll blow it for you."

Then, she lowered her head and gently blew on Yun Muxi"s finger. She lifted her head from time to time to look at Yun Muxi. Her gaze was full of pain for her mother.

Instantly, all the pain she was feeling was erased by this warmth that she felt. At that exact moment, Yun Muxi felt loved. It was a feeling that now seemed foreign. After her parents died, how many people loved her so much?

In that split second of thought, she realized that other than Gu Yuxuan and Mou Yichen, she could recall more of Gong Yu and Niannian"s pity for her. She was touched deeply. She was so loved at that moment and she was already very grateful. She felt like she could push through anything at that moment.

Gong Yu rummaged through the first-aid box and found some hemostatic and gauze. After carefully bandaging her, he did not forget to click on her forehead angrily.

Yun Muxi felt the pain and glared at him. "Why did you do that?"

"Because you"re dumb!" Gong Yu seemed to have remembered something and reminded her, "Oh right, don"t forget to go to the hospital later for a teta.n.u.s shot. Don"t get your wound wet or infected. I"ll come and cook dinner for you two."

Yun Muxi asked without hesitating, "You... you can cook? I didn"t know our Prince Yu can cook!"

Gong Yu glared at her and was just about to reprimand her when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Yun Muxi glanced at the furious Gong Yu and went to answer the door. A few men in black suits were standing outside. Instantly, the horrible memories from the past flashed past her mind again. Terrified, she asked, "Who are you guys? What are you guys doing here?"

The leader among them all spoke in a deep voice. "Miss Yun, please come with us."

Without waiting for her reply, they grabbed her by her arms and took her away...
