The Best Actor's Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! Chapter 231 Xuanxuan's Mother

"Xuanxuan's mother?"

Murong Yunxi was somewhat surprised when they talked about this woman. She never had a good feeling about Xuanxuan's mother. She had witnessed how Xuanxuan came out of the pain of losing her mother. She could not help thinking of the little girl who was so vulnerable back then.

20 years ago—

At that time, she had just started kindergarten. There was a little girl in the cla.s.s who cried a lot. Even if she was not crying, she would only hold a doll alone, sitting in a daze. Murong Yunxi felt sympathy for the little girl, so she didn't want to play with the other children and went to her side.

"I'm Xiao Xi, what's your name? Let's play together." Murong Yunxi's childish voice carried a hint of cowardice because she was afraid of being rejected. But she really felt sorry for her.

The little girl raised her head with her eyes full of sorrow, looking at Murong Yunxi. She had beautiful eyes, but now they were filled with heartbroken sorrow. She should have childish innocence in her eyes, but now it was replaced by endless loneliness. With a feeling in her eyes that weren't supposed to appear at her age, the little girl made Murong Yunxi feel sorry for her and care for her.

The heartbroken feelings in her eyes left a deep impression on Murong Yunxi. She couldn't get over it.

Since she had met her, she decided to make friends with the little girl to keep her away from sadness and sitting there all alone.

"You can tell me why you are unhappy. I will keep you company. I'll play with you. Let's be friends."

That little girl was Gu Yuxuan. She was attracted by the girl's pure eyes, which seemed to have sincerity and expectation within them.

She nodded lightly, looking lovely with that chubby face.

Murong Yunxi smiled and stroked her cheek. Her face was so soft and tender, which made her want to gently pinch her. But she was afraid that she might frighten her, so she pulled back her hand.

Since then, Gu Yuxuan finally had a friend. She told the thing about losing her mother to Murong Yunxi. Every time she missed her mother, she would hold Murong Yunxi and cry in her arms. Murong Yunxi would gently stroke her back and accompany her. After crying, she would wipe Gu's tears with her little hands.

Gu Yuxuan was so cute when she was a child. She was even more adorable than Murong Yunxi. But Murong Yunxi always felt that she lost her childhood innocence and happiness.

At that time Murong Yunxi thought that a lovely girl like her would be so cute when she smiled!

Murong Yunxi spent more time staying with Gu Yuxuan. She always brought her favorite food to Gu Yuxuan. She also bought twice the amount of her favorite things and shared half of it with her. She also found out that they lived in the same neighborhood, which meant they were bound to stay together.

Murong Yunxi's parents were quite busy when she was a kid. With Gu Yuxuan, she no longer seemed to feel lonely. When two lonely kids met each other, they could care for each other.

When Gu Yuxuan finally got over the pain of the loss of her mother, the two girls didn't separate from each other.

But even after 20 years, Murong Yunxi still remembered Gu Yuxuan's sad eyes clearly. And that look made her heart ache every time she thought of it. It was all because of the woman who gave birth to her.

Therefore, when Murong Yunxi thought of that woman now, she didn't have a good impression of her and even hated her.

"She's having a really bad time," said Murong Ye. With his eyes falling on Murong Yunxi's face, he saw the complicated expressions there.

Murong Yunxi wasn't surprised at all. She calmly said, "That was her choice, too. She could have had a wonderful daughter, a husband who loved her, and a happy life that even wasn't very wealthy, but could make her feel comfortable and carefree. But she chose that path by herself and can't blame anyone else."

"You're not curious about what kind of life she's living?"

"Not at all!" Murong Yunxi said calmly without any hesitation, then continued, "But I'd like to see her if I can. For no other reason than I just want to ask her how she could have been so cruel and leave such a small child and walk away so quickly."

"There is karma. She's got what she deserved. You and Xuanxuan don't have to stay in that pain. It will only torture you."

"Yeah, I'm just feeling sorry for Xuanxuan."

Murong Ye took out his mobile phone and swiped it with his slender fingers. Then he found a photo and handed it to Murong Yunxi. "Maybe you should take a look at this. Then you will have a different feeling."

The photo was what Fourth showed Murong Ye that day.

Murong Yunxi had never met Xuanxuan's mother. And her father had disposed of all the family photos of her since Xuanxuan's mother left, leaving no trace of her. Maybe Gu Yuxuan didn't remember what she looked like now either.

"This is Xuanxuan's mother? She must have been prettier when she was younger."

Murong Yunxi was still shocked by the woman in the photo. She could tell that the woman was quite beautiful with eyes similar to Gu Yuxuan's. Gu Yunxuan looked like her father except for the eyes. If Gu Yuxuan could look like her mother, she might be a stunning beauty as well.

"Maybe! Why do you think that uncle would put her under house arrest for so many years and refuse to let go?"

Murong Yunxi gave the phone back to Murong Ye. Although she didn't have any impression, she had some strange feelings.

Murong Yunxi put down the gla.s.s of water and stood up. "Brother, I'm going to bed. You should go to bed too. Goodnight!"

Murong Ye nodded and looked at Murong Yunxi as she calmly walked upstairs.

Murong Yunxi returned to the room and lay down next to Gong Yu. She didn't feel drowsy at all, so she just stared at the ceiling quietly and didn't make too much noise. She was afraid of waking him up, so she just kept that posture.

When Gong Yu opened his eyes, he saw Murong Yunxi silently look at the ceiling, so he whispered in Murong Yunxi's ear with a deep and husky voice, "Why did you wake up so early?"

Murong Yunxi turned to look at Gong Yu with bags under her eyes. Obviously, she hadn't slept well.

Gong Yu frowned slightly and then asked worriedly, "What's wrong, sweetie? You didn't sleep well?"

Murong Yunxi nodded with no facial expression. "Insomnia."

"Is there something on your mind?"

"I got up last night to have a drink of water and happened to talk with my brother. He mentioned Xuanxuna's mother. I was a little upset."

"Tell me, maybe I can help you."

"I thought I would hate her because she made Xuanxuan's childhood unhappy. She was so sad and had such a sorrowful memory. I had hoped that she would get what she deserved, then she would regret the choice she had made. But now, I can't laugh at her misery. I don't know what Xuanxuan would think if she knew. Perhaps the same as I did."

"Don't think about it too much, especially with people who have nothing to do with you."

"But that is Xuanxuan's mother. And it will affect the future of Xuanxuan and Brother Xun. I'm so worried that something might happen."

"If you don't feel comfortable, you can go and check it out. You can't solve anything by thinking of it here."

After saying that, Gong Yu gently held Murong Yunxi in his arms. The faint herbal smell of his body made Murong Yunxi calm down immediately. It was like some kind of magic, which greatly soothed her. Gong Yu's arms were very warm, firm, and powerful, making Murong Yunxi feel so comfortable. Now she just wanted to stay in his arms, leaving all her troubles behind. In the blink of an eye, Murong Yunxi felt so relieved, curving her lips like a happy woman falling in love.

"It's so good to have you by my side. I really want to lie in your arms like this for the rest of my life," Murong Yunxi said casually but with sincerity.

"Deal. You can depend on me at any time." Gong Yu held her again tightly with his arms.

"Do you want to go back to sleep? I'll watch you sleep."

"Yes."

Murong Yunxi slept in his arms, feeling the rea.s.suring warmth and that fascinating smell. After a while, she actually fell asleep.

Gong Yu heard the sound of breathing steadily in his arms and also felt the warmth that she gave him. He loved when Murong Yunxi trusted and relied on him. She was getting stronger now, and sometimes, he was even surprised that she was so tough. Now he started to stand behind her, watching her s.h.i.+ning in front of him. But at a time like this, she still needed him the most.

Gong Yu started to grin with a softness in his eyes and care for the little woman in his arms.

He used to stand in a high position in his career. And Murong Yunxi was the one who needed his protection and support. Now he could only stand behind her, which was probably the most frustrating thing for any man. Maybe if he were still the man he used to be, he would have scolded himself. But now, he could calmly live with it and enjoy staying with her, which also surprised him. Perhaps it was all because of love!

He loved her so much that he could accept everything about her, and he had even changed himself.

Murong Yunxi felt so comfortable after having a sound sleep. When she woke up, it was nearly noon. Gong Yu was not there.

She stretched herself, got up to wash, and went downstairs. Then she saw Gong Yu and Murong Ye sitting on the sofa doing their own thing. They didn't disturb each other. What handsome gentlemen they were!

Murong Yunxi quietly looked at them for a moment before she strolled downstairs.

Hearing the sound, Murong Ye and Gong Yu turned around and spoke at the same time.

"You are awake? Come on, have some lunch," Gong Yu said with a genial smile on his face.

"You are late. Come on, have your lunch." Murong Ye was also a doting brother.

Murong Yunxi said with a big smile, "Well. You two can really get along with each other."

Murong Ye calmed down and seriously said, "Well, hurry up. I'll take you to meet someone after you finish."
