Chapter 380: Going into the Den of Thieves
Seeming to feel the obviously unwelcome gaze of Qin Muxuan’s, Gu Zijin covered his mouth embarrassedly and coughed twice before he explained, “I’m here to pick you up.”
Qin Muxuan rolled her eyes, and when she spoke, she didn’t sound nice at all, “Who told you to do that? Didn’t I tell you not to come and pick me up this morning?”
Looking at the staff who were only a few steps away from Gu Zijin and who stretched their necks, Qin Muxuan whined in her heart. She meant to keep a low profile, but now it seemed that everything was going in the opposite direction!
Hearing Qin Muxuan’s not-so-nice words, Gu Zijin was not angry. After all, he was a little guilty as he was in the wrong. He promised Qin Muxuan not to come and pick her up after work this morning, but he still came.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“I just got off work and I heard that you guys just finished filming, so I came here. You don’t want to see me around here so much?” There seemed to be some resentment in Gu Zijin’s tone.
Everyone was shocked when they heard how impolite Qin Muxuan was to Gu Zijin. Then they heard Gu Zijin talked as if he was asking for forgiveness. It was like a thunder from a clear sky to them and they all froze.
Qin Muxuan looked at the dazed crowd and helplessly pulled Gu Zijin into the room. “Get in first.” Then she mercilessly closed the door.
The people outside instantly snapped back to their senses, and they started talking about the spectacle they just saw!
Qin Muxuan saw that Gu Zijin looked quite calm and helplessly supported her forehead. “Can’t you be low-profile for once? Didn’t I tell you not to come here after work?”
Gu Zijin said innocently, “Why should I keep a low profile?” He wanted to tell the world that Qin Muxuan was his woman.
With just one look at Gu Zijin’s expression, Qin Muxuan figured out what it was that he didn’t say it out loud: I also want to keep a low profile, but my prominent status doesn’t allow me to do that!
Jian Xi drove to the set to pick up Qin Muxuan. She was still muddleheaded, so she didn’t notice what the staff was discussing about.
They saw Jian Xi walking straight to Qin Muxuan’s dressing room, and just as they were to stop her, they saw her put her hand on the handle and opened the door.
Everyone looked at her with both admiration and pity. Of course, Jian Xi couldn’t saw that.
Qin Muxuan, Gu Zijin, Qin Xiaobai, and Jian Xi looked at each other. Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi were in shock, while Gu Zijin remained calm and Qin Xiaobai looked embarrassed.
Jian Xi reacted and said, “Excuse me.” And she was about to close the door.
Immediately Qin Muxuan stepped forward and pulled her in. Then she closed the door while those who were outside all stared at her.
Qin Muxuan was very speechless. What Jian Xi just did seemed to tell everyone that they were doing something in this room that they couldn’t let others know about. Then she thought about how swiftly she closed the door and felt that those people outside would misinterpret the whole situation even more.
Qin Muxuan glared at Jian Xi, “What did you close the door?!”
Jian Xi glanced at the tightly shut door, and turned her gaze to Qin Muxuan. The look on her face spoke volumes: Weren’t you the one who closed the door just now?
Qin Muxuan didn’t want to argue with her. She glanced at Gu Zijin and Qin Xiaobai, and then pulled Jian Xi to a corner and whispered, “What’s wrong? What happened between you and Mu Ming?”
Gu Zijin squinted slightly and looked unpleasant as Qin Muxuan turned her back towards him. What was it that she couldn’t say in front of him?!
Jian Xi could feel Gu Zijin’s angry gaze without even looking back. She had goosebumps all over her body, “Are you sure you want to talk about that here and now?” And she pointed behind her back.
Of course, Qin Muxuan knew who Jian Xi was pointing at. She thought about it and said, “How about I go to your place tonight? We haven’t talked for a long time.”
Jian Xi looked unbelievable, “Will your better half agree?”
Qin Muxuan blushed slightly and patted Jian Xi’s arm, “Can you stop saying that? Be serious, okay? Besides, I don’t need his permission if I want to stay at your place.”
Jian Xi stopped kidding and looked serious.
Qin Muxuan turned around and walked to Gu Zijin, “Gu Zijin, you should take Xiaobai back home. I’ll stay at Jian Xi’s house tonight.”
Gu Zijin frowned, “Why?”
Even though Qin Muxuan said that she didn’t need his permission, she was still a little flustered when facing Gu Zijin’s cold face. She subconsciously explained, “Something has happened to Jian Xi. She needs me.”
Gu Zijin was still frowning. “No, you can’t stay at her place.”
Hearing the domineering tone of Gu Zijin’s, Qin Muxuan was also a little angry. Who was he to tell her what to do?
Qin Muxuan raised her eyebrows and was about to refute when Gu Zijin said, “I’ll be worried about you. You can let her stay in the villa for the night.”
Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, “You will let Jian Xi stay in the villa for the night?”
Gu Zijin was not pleased with Qin Muxuan’s reaction, but he still nodded slightly, “She is your friend.” So that was okay.
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan felt a little sweetness in her heart, and her lips curved slightly.
But Jian Xi was a little unhappy. Just look at Gu Zijin’s cold expression, most people would not be willing to get close to him.
However, Qin Muxuan had to find out what had been going on with Jian Xi today, so she insisted on her staying at the villa for the night so the two of them could catch up with each other.
Qin Muxuan, together with Jian Xi, got into the back of Gu Zijin’s car while everybody was staring. Then they watched as Gu Zijin and Qin Xiaobai got in and sat on the driver seat and the passenger seat respectively. And they were now sure that Qin Muxuan had moved in with Gu Zijin!
Jian Xi fidgeted in her seat. She felt like as a stranger, she had been thrusted into the happy life of this family.
Jian Xi looked at Gu Zijin, who seemed to be able to kill with the back of his head, and covered her mouth and whispered to Qin Muxuan, “Is it really okay for me to stay for the night with you today? Why do I feel like that President Gu is quite unhappy about it?”
Although Gu Zijin might not be able to hear it, Jian Xi still politely changed the address from Gu Zijin to President Gu.
Qin Muxuan also couldn’t help but lower her voice. “It’s okay. He said that himself, didn’t he?”
Jian Xi nodded but she still felt that she shouldn’t have gotten into this car!
Qin Muxuan patted Jian Xi’s shoulder consolingly, “It’s okay. Xiaoxin is there too. She hasn’t seen you for a few days. And she misses you a lot.”
When she heard Xiaoxin’s name, Jian Xi relaxed a little.
Then Qin Muxuan joked, “Why do you look like you are going into the den of thieves? You’re pulling such a long face.”
Jian Xi put on a smile that was uglier than when she was crying: You’re right. I’m going into the den of thieves!
