The Best Actor's Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! Chapter 36: A Feral Child with No Father

Yun Muxi was startled at the way the two of them looked at her as if they saw a ghost. She asked with much confusion, "Why are you guys looking at me like that?"

Seventh Brother regained his composure and acted as if nothing happened. "Haha, why did you call me?"

Yun Muxi answered casually, "I want to ask you where are the plates. I made spaghetti, the food is ready."

Seventh Brother and Gong Yu let out a sigh of relief after hearing that. Seventh Brother then walked into the kitchen and pulled out some plates from a drawer.

Yun Muxi made spaghetti, a salad, and creamy mushroom soup. Although they were simple, they looked no different from those served in restaurants.

Seventh Brother could not help but compliment her. "Wow, Xiao Xi, your cooking is really good! Whoever marries you is a lucky dude!"

After speaking, he looked at Gong Yu with a meaningful gaze.

Yun Muxi remained silent and only smiled.

Seventh Brother seemed to have thought of something and ran into the kitchen. He returned with three wine glasses and a bottle of red wine. He said excitedly, "We've successfully solved our problem today, let's have a toast to celebrate!"

Seventh Brother did not wait for their reply and started to pour into the glasses. He gave the first one to Yun Muxi.

Seventh Brother had just placed it down when the other two said something at the same time.

"She can't drink!"

"I can't drink!"

Seventh Brother looked at Yun Muxi in shock, then looked at Gong Yu.

Yun Muxi felt extremely awkward and explained again, "Seventh Brother, I really can't drink!"

Seventh Brother did not take it seriously. "Pfft, just try some, drink as much as you can."

Gong Yu took the cup away from Yun Muxi and said, "She is a really bad drinker, she'll always end up drunk. Just one sip and she's gone! She can't drink!"

Seventh Brother looked at Yun Muxi suspiciously. He was very confused; was it possible for someone to be such a bad drinker?

What Seventh Brother did not know was that Yun Muxi being drunk was Yun Muxi and Gong Yu's nightmare. Because she was drunk, things happened the way they were. Because she was drunk, Gong Yu lost her...

Yun Muxi felt very uncomfortable and quickly diverted the topic. "Seventh Brother, dig in! We can't eat it when it's cold!"

Gong Yu did not wait for Seventh Brother to reply. "Did you save some for Niannian? What will she eat when she wakes up?"

Yun Muxi replied calmly, "I've kept for her. When she wakes up, I'll just cook it in hot water, it'll be quick!"

Seventh Brother looked at the two conversing and suddenly felt so extra, like he was a 250-watt giant lightbulb. Seeing that he was not going to be entertained, he sat down again.

Around evening, Mou Yichen came to visit Niannian.

Niannian was so happy to see him and plunged into his embrace. He hugged her lovingly and caressed her soft hair. Niannian gave him a sweet peck on the cheek, calling him in her soft voice, "Daddy Mou, I've missed you so much!"

Mou Yichen melted at her sweet voice. He replied softly, "Daddy Mou missed you too! I came back yesterday and now I'm here to see you!"

Niannian rubbed her head against his shoulders as a sign of affection. Her baby scent filled his nostrils, causing him to develop an unnatural loving affection towards her. Uncontrollably, his gaze moved towards Yun Muxi, who was standing at the balcony hanging clothes. His gaze was filled with love and desire...

Niannian's soft voice brought him back to reality. "Daddy Mou is the best!"

Mou Yichen stifled a laugh and looked down at Nianian, who was still in his embrace. "Niannian, why don't you look at what Daddy Mou brought back for you?"

After finish speaking, he pulled out a wrapped box from his pocket. It was a box wrapped in a delicate wrapping papaer with a bow tie on top. They were all in pastel pink color, exactly the way to a girl's heart. Niannian loved it so much and would not let it go after taking it from him. She was already in love with it before opening the box!

Niannian tilted her head and looked at Mou Yichen with her big twinking eyes. Curious, she asked, "Daddy Mou, what's inside this?"

Mou Yichen pinched her chubby cheeks lovingly. He laughed, "Open it and see for youself!"

At this moment, Yun Muxi returned from the balcony. She saw Niannian sitting in his embrace, holding on to the pretty gift box. She said to Mou Yichen with a tint of helplessness, "Yichen, you dote on her too much, always returning with a present everytime you go on a business trip. You're spoiling her!"

Mou Yichen did not take it seriously. He laughed, "What's wrong with it? Niannian is so cute, if I don't spoil her, who will? I like her, I'm willing to spoil her!"

Niannian was a little unhappy and pouted her lips as she complained to Yun Muxi, "It doesn't matter if mummy doesn't buy presents for me anymore, but now you're not letting Daddy Mou buy presents for me too!"

Yun Muxi was helpless. She pretended to raise her voice in anger. "Your Daddy Mou and Mummy Gu are spoiling you. They're always buying presents for you, there's no more space at home, you don't need me to buy anything for you!"

Indeed, it was not that Yun Muxi was not willing to buy things for Niannian. Most of the things she was using and playing with were bought by Mou Yichen and Gu Yuxuan, so she did not have much chances to buy anything for her. Besides, they truly adored Niannian and pitied Yun Muxi for having to bring up a kid while attending school. Hence, they were always finding themselves buying gifts for her.

Niannian chubby hands took out the wrapping paper carefully, worried that she would destroy the delicate wrapping. Her serious expression was so cute, melting everyone's heart.

She carefully opened the gift box, and found a small white bear lying inside. It was so cute! Yun Muxi saw the bear and her heart shrunk. This bear was identical to the one that Mou Yichen once gave her! It was a pity that the bear probably did not exist anymore...

Pieces of her memory came flooding in again and Yun Muxi instantly found herself drowning in it, as if that little bear was a turning point in her life. That little bear changed her whole life, be it dramatically or otherwise. Eventually, it left an unerasable deep scar in her heart. It was a scar of pain as well, she dared not caress nor touch it, as she was deeply afraid that she would uncover the bloody pain again!

Mou Yichen saw that Yun Muxi blanked out while staring at the little bear. He laughed, "I saw this at Country M, I found it cute and thought that Niannian would definitely like it! Besides, it also looks like the one I got you last time!"

Yun Muxi recovered and answered casually, "Yea! It does!"

Mou Yichen asked causally, "I don't see the bear anymore, do you not like it?"

Instantly, Yun Muxi was filled with awkwardness. She explained, "Oh no! I liked it a lot, but I lost it when I was moving. I'm so sorry for losing your present!"

Mou Yichen stifled a laugh. "Haha... it's okay! It's a pity because the bear was a limited edition, it can't be bought anymore! If you liked it I can buy one more, but I'm afraid I can no longer afford it!"

Yun Muxi said calmly, "It's okay!" "I'm already an adult, a mother to a child, it would be too childish of me! Haha..."

Mou Yichen refuted,"You'll always be the same to me, mother or not. You'll always be the innocent and cute Xiao Xi I met back then."

Yun Muxi felt a little uncomfortablea and her cheeks turned red. She tried to divert the topic awkwardly, "Umm, I'll go heat up a glass of milk for Niannian!"

Niannian hugged the cute little white bear and covered it with kisses. The vibrant smile on her face was like a blossoming flower. One could not take his eyes off her. Mou Yichen could not help but think, "This girl will definitely grow to be as beautiful as her mother! Just that her mom had a tiring life, hope that she will be happy and keep this smile forever."

After a while, Niannian suddenly thought of something. She lifted her head and her big eyes looked at Mou Yichen intensely. "Daddy Mou, there's a parent-and-child event at my kindergarten next week, can you come with Mummy? All the other kids' parents are coming!"

There was a tint of unconfident cautiousness in her tone. Mou Yichen felt bad for her. He answered, "Hmm, what time next week? I'll make time to be there."

Niannian's eyes instantly became lit, as if there were fire burning in them. Her eyes glistened with joy. "Daddy Mou is the best, I knew that Daddy Mou dotes on me the most. It is on next Friday, you must come wearing handsome clothes! This time round, I'll see who else will say that I'm a feral child with no father."

Mou Yichen was concerned and asked, "Niannian, do the kids at school call you that?"

Instantly, Niannian's eyes were filled with disappointment and pain. She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice. "That day Tongtong told everyone that I'm a feral child with no father and all the kids laughed. From then on, no one played with me anymore!"

Coincidentally, Yun Muxi was walking towards them while holding onto Niannian's glass of milk. Her heart dropped and the glass slipped from her hand, breaking into many pieces. Yun Muxi hurriedly stooped down to pick them up and accidentally cut her finger.

However, Yun Muxi's heart was in greater pain. She could not feel any pain from her injury.

Mou Yichen saw the situation but Yun Muxi's finger was already bleeding heavily before he even finished saying "Be careful!". He set Niannian aside and leaped towards Yun Muxi. He stooped down, lifted her finger, and put it in his mouth!

The warm and wet sensation hit her heart directly when the tip of his tongue touched her finger. Yun Muxi panicked and quickly withdraw her finger. However, Mou Yichen tugged onto her arm tightly. "Don't move!"

After sucking the fresh blood off her finger, the taste of it triggered Mou Yichen's heart like a ripple effect. At that instant, he wanted to embrace this woman that he loved and never let go of his hand!

Mou Yichen gazed intently at her and did not even attempt to stop his burning affection for her from pouring out.
