Chapter 22: She Was Not A Warm Paste
Qin Muxuan finished her porridge, and even wanted more. Gu Zijin slowly wiped his mouth and said,
“Don’t eat too much at night because it is not good for your stomach. Brush the teeth and go to bed.”
“President. Gu.”
“Em?”
Gu Zijin raised his eyebrows unhappily. This woman got rid of him as soon as he had done his job. When she enjoyed all porridge, the name for him was changed into the original one.
“Can you teach me to cook?”
“I don’t teach anyone.”
Qin Muxuan was disappointed, but she heard the following words of Gu Zijin,
“But I can consider cooking for you. However, you should pay for it.”
“What should I pay?”
It was really true that people were easily blinded by the lust for delicious food. Qin Muxuan subconsciously made such a question. But the words were just like thrown-away water and couldn’t be taken back. Qin Muxuan despised herself in her heart. Gu Zijin’s eyes became really bright,
“Em… For example, you should try to please me.”
“…”
The words equaled nothing.
Turning off the light of the living room, Qin Muxuan went upstairs. Since Mrs. Gu accompanied Xiaobai to sleep today, she couldn’t go there, but the bed in the guest room wasn’t tidied up yet…
Qin Muxuan stood still and pondered for a while. Gu Zijin unhappily disrupted her thinking,
“Qin Muxuan, do you detest me?”
“…No.”
“Why don’t you get in the room?”
“You sleep naked.”
Gu Zijin’s mouth twitched, but he still suppressed his temper and said,
“I can take another quilt.”
So, Qin Muxuan was just like an innocent rabbit coaxed by Gu Zijin into the room. Gu Zijin indeed took another quilt and went to bed in his pajamas.
But when the light was off, Qin Muxuan just lay down and she felt another body lean toward her. Gu Zijin hugged Qin Muxuan and kicked the other quilt off the bed.
“Gu Zijin!”
“Em, I have a stomachache.”
“…”
Why did he hug her when he had a stomachache? She was not a warm paste!
But Qin Muxuan was hugged tightly by this wolf-like man and couldn’t struggle off. She made a breath and leaned to one side.
“Gu Zijin, maybe you like me? Why do you hug me?”
Gu Zijin didn’t answer. His head leaned against Qin’s shoulder and his eyes closed. It seemed that he was asleep. Qin Muxuan thought her words were totally ignored and felt helpless.
However, Qin Muxuan unexpectedly slept like a log that night, and the long-time nightmare disappeared like ebb tide. She dreamed that her loving father Qin Mu hugged her in her childhood…
“Daddy…”
When Gu Zijin woke up, he heard Qin saying that. His feeling was complex. Compared to “Daddy”, he would be happier to hear “Darling”…
Mrs. Gu was taking a cup of tea. When she saw Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan went out of Gu Zijin’s room one after another, she was choked by the tea.
“Cough! Cough!”
Aunty Chen immediately patted on her back. Ye Han’s eyes were fixed on her son. Didn’t Gu Zijin say that there was no relation between them two?
Why did they two together get out of one room yesterday and another room today?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
However, Gu Zijin didn’t want to explain. He avoided the suspicious eyes of Mrs. Gu and Qin Muxuan made a greeting to Mrs. Gu.
Seeing that, Ye Han thought that although the process went on too fast, if Gu Zijin sincerely liked Qin, she didn’t mind this marriage. After all, they even had a child.
Qin Muxuan’s family was prominent before, and her appearance and character was good, even better than some young ladies of note.
Qin Xiaobai didn’t see Qin Muxuan last night. During his breakfast, he was excited. He ran to Gu Zijin and pulled Gu Zijin’s clothes.
“Daddy, can you move over? I want to sit with my Mommy.”
Gu Zijin was speechless, but seeing Qin Xiaobai’s innocent look, he had to move aside.
Qin Xiaobai immediately became Qin Muxuan’s little fan. He took fried bread and poured milk for Qin Muxuan, busy all the time.
Qin Muxuan was overwhelmed. Gu Zijin sitting beside them felt a little …unhappy?
Mrs. Gu was also a little jealous. Her grandson never did that for her. She felt her fragile heart got hurt.
When they were about to go to work, Qin Xiaobai still stuck to Qin Muxuan, so she crouched and gave him a kiss.
“Xiaobai, be a good boy. I have to work overtime for days. So you should listen to your grandma and great grandma. Go to bed early and needn’t wait for me to come back.”
Qin Xiaobai sighed disappointedly.
“Mommy, is it that you don’t want me because you have my Daddy now… See, you are always with Daddy recently…”
Hearing that, Gu Zijin raised his eyebrows. Where did he get such a son?
Xiaobai’s behavior showed that he was jealous of Gu Zijin because Qin Muxuan was always with Gu Zijin?
“No. My beloved boy, you are always the most important in Mommy’s heart.”
“Really?”
Qin Xiaobai’s bright eyes were fixed on Qin Muxuan and his chubby hands grasped her hand. Hearing that, he loosened his grip.
“Bye Mommy!”
Then he stood on tiptoe to kiss Qin Muxuan’s face.
Qin Muxuan got in the car and Gu Zijin looked askance at her.
“Xiaobai likes you very much.”
Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment and then nodded. Gu Zijin started the car and said slowly,
“Do you want to stay with him forever?”
This sentence was just like a flash of lightning through her body. She felt all her nerves were high-strung. What did Gu Zijin mean? Gu Zijin curled his thin lips and waited for her answer.
Until she got out of the car, she didn’t say anything.
“President. Gu, gossip is a fearful thing. I don’t want others know that Xiaobai was born just because of a dirty deal 5 years ago.”
“Ho…”
Gu Zijin got out. Qin Muxuan saw his tall figure disappear in her sight.
It was weekend soon.
Qin Muxuan was relieved to have finished more than half of her job. On the early morning, she began to change clothes for Qin Xiaobai. He was little, with a pretty face, so whatever he wore made him look really proper and cute.
Qin Xiaobai obediently stretched his arms to let Qin Muxuan dress him. Then Qin Muxuan dressed herself in a casual wear and hugged Xiaobai to go downstairs.
Gu Zijin had waited in the living room, sitting with his leg crossed in an elegant manner. He wore a dark logo shirt, and light color trousers. Because of his clothes, he didn’t show the sense of pressing which would be brought by his usual suit.
Gu Zijin looked at Qin Muxuan, and felt amazing. Qin Muxuan didn’t like to make up, but she always showed simple beauty.
Now she wore a dress in Bohemian style, which made her tall and slim, and her skin was as white as jade. He had an impulsion to hug her in his arms.
“Let’s go.”
On their way, Xiaobai was really excited. When they arrived at the amusement park, he grasped Qin Muxuan’s hand tightly and asked to play everything he saw.
When she heard the scream from Big Pendulum, and the winds caused by Turbo Drop and roller coaster, Qin Muxuan’s face became pale. Just thinking about sitting on them would make her heartbeat faster.
