Chapter 213: Apologize
Qin Muxuan then put down the phone and left all the absurd news behind. As she put the medicine box in the cabinet, she suddenly thought of Gu Zijin.
On their way back, she and Gu Zijin nearly said nothing to each other and the air in the car nearly froze. Qin Xiaobai had to keep babbling in order to break the ice.
However, Qin Muxuan also knew that Gu Zijin had only been mad at her for Qin Xiaobai’s good. She now realized that Gu Zijin might be right about sending Qin Xiaobai to the elite school.
“Dabai, I want to go to sleep.” Actually, he wasn’t sleepy but only felt his eyes a bit uncomfortable. However, he was afraid that Qin Muxuan would worry about him, so he wondered whether he would be better after a sleep.
“OK. How about telling you a story?” Qin Muxuan sat by the bed and tucked Qin Xiaobai in. Before they left the hospital, the doctor asked the boy to use his eyes less, so Qin Muxuan also felt it was good for Qin Xiaobai to have a sleep now.
After the boy nodded, he closed his eyes.
Qin Muxuan’s soft voice sounded in the room, “Once upon a time, there was a goatherd…”
After a long while, Qin Muxuan finally managed to get Qin Xiaobai to sleep. She watched the boy who looked like Gu Zijin a lot while she was lost in thought again.
Then, after a long time, she made up her mind and walked toward Gu Zijin’s study.
He should be working there at this moment.
When Qin Muxuan stood in front of the door, she raised her hands a few times, trying to knock on the door. However, she finally put down her arms slowly.
‘Qin Muxuan, you are only here to talk about Xiaobai’s school.’ After she comforted herself with those words, she finally raised her hand again to knock on the door.
However, at the same time, the door was suddenly opened.
Qin Muxuan took back her hand at once, feeling a bit dazed.
When Gu Zijin saw Qin Muxuan by the door, he flashed a surprised look in his eyes. He never realized that Qin Muxuan would come to find him on her own initiative.
“What do you need?” Gu Zijin gave Qin Muxuan an impassive look while uttering those words in a flat tone.
Qin Muxuan thought that he was still angry at her. Then she said embarrassedly, “Eh… Sorry for what I have done.”
Gu Zijin raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised about her apology.
“Come in.”
“Huh?” Hearing him telling her to go in, Qin Muxuan was a little confused, ‘Is he not angry now?’
Gu Zijin turned around and walked back. As he slowly sat on the chair, he said, “Why are you standing there? Don’t you have something to say to me?”
“Oh…” Only then did Qin Muxuan walk in and close the door.
She sat in front of him while glimpsing at him secretly. He was reading a file on the desk with his head lowered, seeming to be waiting for her to speak first.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Well… I’m here to talk about Xiaobai going to the noble school.”
“Xiaobai has to go to an elite school. There’s no room for discussion.” Gu Zijin raised his head and told her that.
Gu Zijin seemed to think that she still didn’t want Qin Xiaobai to go to the noble school. Then she could only explain, “I won’t disagree with that anymore. I am here to discuss which noble school he will go.”
Gu Zijin stared at Qin Muxuan with a meaningful look in his eyes. He actually felt a bit surprised that Qin Muxuan had made a concession this time. “Really? Did you finally come around?”
Under Gu Zijin’s sharp gaze, Qin Muxuan could only avert her eyes while saying in a low voice, “Yeah…” Still, she didn’t dare to look into his eyes.
Seeing her being like this, he suddenly had a better mood and even raised the corner of his lips.
“Come here.” Gu Zijin asked Qin Muxuan to walk over.
