The Best Actor’s Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! - Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Extra Story—You’re Good!
Huangfu Yuqing glared at Yun Muxi upon hearing Duanmu Gongyu’s icy words. She threw down the jade bangle and ran out of the shop crying bitterly. Duanmu Gongjing also shot Yun Muxi a glance of anger before going after Huangfu Yuqing.

Yun Muxi felt befuddled. She had done nothing wrong, but why it seemed she did antagonize some people.

Yun Muxi glanced at Duanmu Gongyu and said helplessly, “I got a feeling that it’s dangerous to stay with you. The several people I’ve just met have now all become my enemies. How am I supposed to make a living here later on?”

Duanmu Gongyu ignored her words, went forward, picked up the bangle, and put it on her wrist. The bangle was the right size for Yun Muxi’s white and slender wrist and suited her graceful and ethereal aura quite much.

Then, he took Yun Muxi’s hand and watched it over and over again. “It suits you well. It’s yours now.”

“The shop owner said he would only sell it to the destined one.” Yun Muxi stole a glance at the shop owner.

However, the next second, she saw the shop owner stood up and greeted Duanmu Gongyu respectfully with saying, “Young Master.”

“Huh? What’s happening?” Yun Muxi looked at the shop owner and then at Duanmu Gongyu.

Duanmu Gongyu explained in a calm tone. “Actually, I’m the real owner of this shop.”

Yun Muxi felt rather surprised. “No wonder he would be so arbitrary to put the bangle on my wrist and give it to me without inquiring anything.” Moreover, before they entered the door, Duanmu Gongyu told Yun Muxi to take whatever she like, but she did not take it seriously at that time. Now, she suddenly realized the meaning of the words.

Before Yun Muxi could react, Duanmu Gongyu took her out of the shop.

However, they had not gone far when they came across Duanmu Gongcheng, who was followed by Duanmu Gongjing and Huangfu Yuqing. Duanmu Gongyu did not want to talk to them and tried to pass them with Yun Muxi.

However, when he just passed by Duanmu Gongcheng, the latter uttered in a low tone, “Why don’t you greet me, my dear brother?”

Duanmu Gongcheng and Duanmu Gongyu shared a similar appearance, only that the former looked more rugged but less handsome. Nevertheless, as the crown prince, he was so arrogant as if he had assumed the throne.

Duanmu Gongcheng, a blood brother of Duanmu Gongyu, was eight years older than him, while Second Prince, also born to the Empress, was five years older than him. Before the Empress passed away, the three brothers were on good terms and brotherhood.

However, after the Empress’s death, the battle between Concubine Han and Concubine Rong for the Emperor’s love grew fiercer. They played the three brothers off against each other, who then knocked together cliques for the throne by all means.

Duanmu Gongyu did not want to be involved and showed no interest in the throne. He quit from the fight and left the other two alone. However, because he was more excellent than his brothers in all respect, they were vigilant to him despite he had declared giving up the throne.

Duanmu Gongyu stopped his steps and replied in a low voice too, “Pay my respect to your Highness.” His tone sounded indifferent without any emotion of brotherhood.

Duanmu Gongcheng snorted coldly. He continued in a questioning tone, “Jing and Yuqing told me you bullied them for an outsider.”

Among his sisters, Duanmu Gongcheng doted on Duanmu Gongjing the most and spoiled her. As for Huangfu Yuqing, she was his dream lover, and he had coveted her for long. As a result, the two girls meant much more to him than Duanmu Gongyu. Upon hearing from the two girls that Duanmu Gongyu bullied them, he came to avenge for them with an intention to teach Duanmu Gongyu a lesson.

Huangfu Yuqing never changed her affection for Duanmu Gongyu, in fact. Though Duanmu Gongcheng was the crown prince and would become the emperor in the future, Huangfu Yuqing was not willing to marry him for she did not want to be a concubine of him, who had a wife. Therefore, she never accepted his proposal and just carried on with him despite she knew he loved him.

Duanmu Gongcheng knew Huangfu Yuqing’s feelings for Duanmu Gongyu, but he did not take it seriously because Duanmu Gongyu always remained a cold attitude toward Huangfu Yuqing. Once he had a proper chance, he would ask his father to arrange a marriage for him and Huangfu Yuqing, who, by then, would have to marry him obediently. It was always true for men that they coveted what they could not get. Duanmu Gongcheng was no expectation. He doted on Huangfu Yuqing quite much.

“They bullied my friend first. How could I stand by and watch it happen?” answered Duanmu Gongyu in a cold tone.

Hearing that, Duanmu Gongcheng moved his gaze from Duanmu Gongyu to Yun Muxi beside. Just at a glance, his eyes narrowed and he was shocked. “How stunning this girl is! She looks much like my mother in appearance. No wonder the aloof Duanmu Gongyu would fall in love with her. Her big black eyes are so clear, lovely, and especially attractive. Oh, she is more charming than mother.” Duanmu Gongcheng, who had always been proud and conceited, had a crush on Yun Muxi at once and considered her the apple in the hand.

Seeing that Duanmu Gongcheng’s gaze on Yun Muxi turned even fervent, Duanmu Gongyu could not help but frown. He said to Duanmu Gongcheng in a deep voice, “Sorry, Your Highness, I got to go now. I’ll pay my visit of respect to you the other day.”

After that, he tried to leave with Yun Muxi.

Duanmu Gongcheng felt surprised to see that Duanmu Gongyu, who always remained indifferent to others and showed no interest in women, cared for Yun Muxi much. From this, he knew this girl was special to Duanmu Gongyu. However, he then found it reasonable that no man could resist the charm of a beauty like Yun Muxi.

“Why are you in a hurry to leave? Are you trying to ignoring me?” Duanmu Gongcheng yelled in anger.

“I dare not, Your Highness.” Duanmu Gongyu answered briefly, but his tone was calm and fearless.

“Leave the girl to me to meet her justice, and this is over.” Duanmu Gongcheng looked arrogant as he spoke, and it was so displeasing.

“In fact, Your Highness, I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong, and absolutely, I can’t leave her to you.” Duanmu Gongyu stared at Duanmu Gongcheng in a neither humble nor pushy way. However, because Duanmu Gongyu was half a head taller than Duanmu Gongcheng, from Duanmu Gongcheng’s perspective, he was looking down upon him, and it made Duanmu Gongcheng somehow displeased.

“So, you mean to go against me, right? What if I insist on not letting her go?” Duanmu Gongcheng tried to threaten Duanmu Gongyu with his status, and his eyes were full of disdain to Duanmu Gongyu.

“Well, what if I’m determined to take her with me?” Duanmu Gongyu hugged Yun Muxi in his arms as if he were saying, “She is mine, and I’ll never leave her to you.”

“Well, good, how good you are, Duanmu Gongyu! You actually dared to disrespect me and disregard our brotherhood and go against me just for an insignificant girl. Good, quite good!” Seeing that Duanmu Gongyu was so determined, Duanmu Gongcheng was enraged. However, given that they were on a street full of people, he could not use violence but hold the grudge in his heart.

As the voice fell, Duanmu Gongyu, disregarding how terrible Duanmu Gongcheng looked, led Yun Muxi to leave.

Duanmu Gongcheng’s chest trembled with anger, the nerves on his forehead stood out, and his hands were in tight fists.

…

When Duanmu Gongyu and Yun Muxi returned to Prince Yu’s Mansion, it was dusk. Nanny Wu prepared a table of delicious foods for them and served them for dinner. After dinner, Yun Muxi followed Duanmu Gongyu to his room.

However, she stopped at the door of his room, looking embarrassed with some words to say.

Seeing that, Duanmu Gongyu said to her gently, “Why not come in? Come in and take a seat.”

Yun Muxi hesitated as she spoke. “So… so… can I stay and live here from now on?”

“Of course!” Duanmu Gongyu answered immediately.

“Where… where is the room for me?” lowering her head, Yun Muxi said in a low voice.

“Here it is!” Duanmu Gongyu replied flatly.

“Huh? That’s not a good idea. There is only one bed in this room, hardly enough for the two of us. In this large mansion, there must be other rooms for me. Just a small one that I could sleep in is good,” Yun Muxi said shyly.

“Oh, I’m afraid there is no other room except this one for you, so, you have to share the bed with me,” Duanmu Gongyu said in a firm tone.

How amusing! Duanmu Gongyu felt so good and pleased sleeping wither her last night, so, in no way would he let her go and sleep alone. He did not mind being rascal to have her stay with him.

Yun Muxi was somehow annoyed. “No, I can’t. How could we, a woman and a man, share a bed?”

Duanmu Gongyu showed an evil smile. “Haven’t we just slept together last night?”

“But it was an accident. I have no idea how I came to you and slept on your bed last night. I was out of my mind.” Yun Muxi explained in a hurry.

“We slept together last night, and we can sleep together in the future as well. It’s just sharing a bed together, and I won’t do anything else to you. Why are you so nervous at this? Or you have some improper thoughts on me and you’re afraid of losing control in the face of me?” Duanmu Gongyu looked at Yun Muxi with an even more evil smile.

“Oh, you thought too much. It’s just that I don’t trust you. Moreover, it’s improper for a man and a woman sleep together alone, even if it’s just to share a bed. I’m yet to get married and I don’t want to ruin my fame.” Yun Muxi argued impatiently, and her face was blushed as red as apple.

“Well, as long as you live in my mansion, rumors may spread even if we don’t share a bed. By the way, do you really want to get yourself married here?” Duanmu Gongyu’s evil expression disappeared, and he looked cold. “This girl did want to marry someone else. She is dreaming!”

“That’s not certain. But even if I can’t go back and have to lead a life here, I hope to leave a normal life so that I can get married and have my child and when I meet my Mr. right someday and continue with my life…” Yun Muxi did not realize that her words were somewhat dangerous and spoke forcefully.

Duanmu Gongyu went up to Yun Muxi, took hold of her delicate chin, and kissed her on her lips, stopping her from continuing on with the words he hated to hear.

Yun Muxi was startled by the sudden kiss, but she immediately reacted, pushing Duanmu Gongyu away and raising her palm toward him…
