The Best Actor's Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! Chapter 213 Should I Know You?

Murong Yunxi, who was silently overwhelmed, looked more concerned for Gu Yuxuan and Murong Xu, yet still watched Gu Chengkang with absolute certainty and sincerity.

"Uncle Gu, I wouldn't think badly of you. After all, you have a tie of kins.h.i.+p with Xuanxuan as her father and any decisions you make for her are with her best interest at heart. Besides, no one has the ability to predict what will happen in the future, or if our wishes will come true. I only know that Gu Yuxuan and Murong Xu really love each other and they are desperately longing to stay together. Shouldn't we let them stay together if we truly think for their good?

"Xiao Xi, you are such a thoughtful girl!"

Gu Chengkang's irrelevant response shocked Murong Yunxi a little and left her speechless, making her feel a little confused about Gu Chengkang's att.i.tude.

The waiter served them their dishes one by one.

"Let's eat first!"

Gu Chengkang, who once again looked like a father who felt deep affection for his child, smiled at Murong Yunxi.

Although Murong Yunxi picked up her knife and fork to cut the steak, her eyes constrainedly looked up and down Gu Chengkang. She was actually familiar with Gu Chengkang's way of thinking. However, at the moment, she was really not certain how Gu Chengkang thought, perhaps because she had never come across such a big issue before.

"Uncle Gu, what do you mean?" Murong Yunxi simply stopped guessing and asked him frankly.

"Oh, my child, I am also a father who cherishes his child and would like to meet her every demand. Grudges between late family members aren't that important!"

"Uncle Gu, do you mean that... you approve of them?"

"Your words helped me realize what is the most important thing in my mind. As a matter of fact, none of us is able to foresee the future, but at least we will be able to make everyone happier now!"

"Uncle Gu, you are really the most enlightened father in the world."

"Oh... Don't flatter me! I don't know whether I am the most enlightened father in existence. However, if they've made their decision, should they face any obstacles in the future, they will have to overcome those obstacles by themselves."

"Uncle Gu, no one's life is just smooth sailing. All kinds of frustrating difficulties will be awaiting us. Of course, if we really encounter an obstacle, we will just overcome it. Even if we fall down and get injured, I believe a marvellous scenery will be waiting for us on the other side!"

"Right, well-said. You've been doing well, which is also something I appreciate. I believe that if Xuanxuan is accompanied by you, she may be able to resolve all the difficulties she will face in her life."

"I will accompany Xuanxuan all the time. We will move forward together."

"Xiao Xi, both Xuanxuan and I have been lucky to meet you."

As she heard Gu Chengkang's compliments, Murong Yunxi couldn't help getting embarra.s.sed. On second thought, she gazed at Gu Chengkang with a disturbed expression.

"Uncle Gu, are you still harboring resentment for the Murong family?"

As soon as she uttered her last word, Murong Yunxi felt her heart almost stop beating. Then, she held her breath tightly and concentrated, focusing her black eyes on Gu Chengkang.

"Well, it's hard to answer your question! Perhaps my hatred for Xuanxuan's mother is deeper because she made those decisions. Besides, I also feel a little resentment for Murong Haotian!"

As she looked at Gu Chengkang, Murong Yunxi really wanted to confess her relations.h.i.+p with the Murong family. Still, those words failed to come out of her mouth. They only stayed on the tip of her tongue.

A flicker of confusion and timidity was s.h.i.+ning in Murong Yunxi's eyes. However, Gu Chengkang didn't catch that change, as he had lost himself in his emotions. He only continued talking about his own issues slowly.

"I hate Murong Haotian because he didn't cherish her and show enough affection to her while having her by his side. When she stayed with me, I loved her so much that I felt worried she would break in my hands or melt down in my mouth. But why would she..."

"Uncle Gu, that is your destiny with her. If she didn't appreciate it, then you needn't love her anymore."

"Love her? Ha ha... My love may be worthless to her."

Whens she saw Gu Chengkang look like this, Murong Yunxi felt very confused. After all, she was twenty, so she did not have many life experiences she could use to comfort Gu Chengkang. At the moment, she felt quite helpless. Her words were too powerless to be convincing.

Even after they finished their meal, Murong Yunxi didn't have the courage to confess what was weighing on her mind. She had to say goodbye to Gu Chengkang and go back home feeling intense worry.

Gu Chengkang went home with a pile of books in his arms. When he went in, he found Gu Yunxuan sitting absent-mindedly on a sofa in their living room.

Gu Chengkang walked toward her and sat down next to Gu Yuxuan after putting the books down on their tea table. After hesitating a little, Gu Chengkang reached with his hands to touch Gu Yuxuan's shoulders and hold her in his arms.

After all, he was her parent. To be honest, Gu Yuxuan didn't blame Gu Chengkang. At the very beginning, she just hadn't known how to face him. Now, after two days had pa.s.sed, she had cooled down and didn't feel awkward facing her father anymore.

"Xuanxuan, if you want to, just follow your heart!"

Gu Chengkang's words sounded powerless, as if he was an old sorrowful man.

Gu Yuxuan slowly raised her head to look into Gu Chengkang's gentle eyes with a warm expression. Her lips were quivering too heavily to utter a word, yet tears gathered in her eyes and flooded quickly, rolling down her face.

Gu Chengkang, who was distressed to see her crying, reached with his tough hands to cover Gu Yuxuan's cheeks and gently wipe away her tears with his thumb.

"Alright, don't cry! I won't oppose your relations.h.i.+p with Murong Xu anymore. But if you really encounter obstacles in the future, don't blame anyone else for your choice. "

Suddenly, Gu Yuxuan threw herself into Gu Chengkang's embrace. This pleasant embrace was what she had been depending on ever since she had been young. The man in front of her was her father, who had always shown her tolerance and love.

Unintentionally, Gu Yuxuan caught sight of a pile of books on the table. It was a big pile of books all about health during pregnancy.

Gu Yuxuan lifted her eyes and looked at Gu Chengkang in confusion. "Father, what did you buy these books for?"

Gu Chengkang froze. Based on Gu Yuxuan's expression, she seemed to not know that she was pregnant. Murong Yunxi hadn't warned Gu Chengkang that Gu Yunxi hadn't discovered this yet. What would happen now?

Gu Yuxuan, who seemed to suddenly become aware of something, asked, "Father! You bought them for me?"

Gu Chengkang fell silent.

"I am carrying a baby!" Gu Yuxuan said a.s.sertively. This was definitely not a question.

Gu Chengkang went silent again, making Gu Yuxuan realize that this was true immediately.

"But why didn't you tell me?"

"I had no chance to tell you when you fell ill. But I found out today anyway."

"Father, did you approve of my relations.h.i.+p with Xu because of this?"

"Of course not! I was persuaded by Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi was right. I think no one can foresee what will happen in the future, but we could choose to let you be happy now. Therefore, I think that, no matter what obstacles you will encounter on your path, that is your business. I have no right to stop you from experiencing happiness for now."

"Well, father... Can you tell me why you refused to say yes before?"

"I don't want to answer your question. At least, not now. It would not benefit you in any way. Besides, now that I've shown my respect for your choice, you shall allow me to have the right to keep some secrets."

"Alright! I won't ask again."

However, what surprised Gu Yuxuan and Murong Xu was that, while this problem had just been solved, some new problems had appeared.

The next day, Murong Xu had to stay in the hospital, as his stomach hadn't healed completely.

However, Murong Xu didn't want to stay. He kept thinking about Gu Yuxuan with all his heart. Thus, he put on his casual clothes and got ready to sneak out of the hospital to see Gu Yuxuan.

Suddenly, a call from Zhuang Yaru came. "Xiao Xu, you are still in the hospital, right?"

To avoid being exposed, Murong Xu pretended to be calm and simply replied, "Right."

"Well, how are you feeling now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"No!"

"Well, then... I realized just now that I forgot to take my wallet with me when I went out. Now I need someone to pay the bill for me. I called your father and your brother but they were at a conference so no one answered me. Your sister is in court. Could you come here and pay the bill for me?"

Murong Xu hesitated for a while. However, upon thinking that he could go see Gu Yuxuan after paying the bill for Zhuang Yaru, he agreed. "Okay, where are you now? Message me your location!"

"Okay, I'll do it right now!"

Soon, Murong Xu set out towards the address Zhuang Yaru gave him.

As Murong Xu approached Zhuang Yaru, he noticed a young married woman and a beautiful girl sitting across from her.

The girl looked a little familiar, but he couldn't recall who she was or where he had met her.

A theory formed in Murong Xu's mind. This atmosphere seemed a little bit weird. Zhuang Yaru must have had a bad idea.

"Mother, here is my credit card and some cash for you." Murong Xu took a black golden credit card out of his wallet, as well as most of his cash, and handed them over to Zhuang Yaru.

Zhuang Yaru looked embarra.s.sed by him. She coughed lightly and touched the hair at her temple. She did not even have the courage to look up at Murong Xu as she said in a sad tone, "Well, Xiao Xu, since you've come here, why not have a seat? By the way, let me introduce you..."

"Mother, I know clearly what you are thinking right now. I'll go back to the hospital right away." Murong Xu turned around to leave.

"Wait." The young girl sitting across from Zhuang Yaru suddenly stood up and stopped Murong Xu.

Murong Xu stood still and turned back to look at the girl. She felt more familiar the longer that he looked at her. His eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth. Even his pale, ill-looking face looked severely annoyed.

"What?"

"Don't you know me?" The girl smiled in an elegant, decent manner, making her delicate makeup look more s.h.i.+ning. A glint of confidence and pride glistened in her eyes.

Murong Xu acted even more coolly, making the words that were squeezed from his teeth sound extremely cold, hurtful and inhuman. "Should I know you?"
