Chapter 14: I Have Dad
“Go too far? Qin Muxuan, you don’t think it’s more disgusting and mean when you climb into my bed with another man in your heart, do you?”
Gu Zijin’s eyes showed a little anger, and his face with deep and delicate features looked dreadfully cold. Qin Muxuan was shocked severely.
“You… What are you talking about… Do you know about him?”
The remark was tantamount to a confession.
Gu Zijin directly put down Qin Muxuan’s seat and then pressed on her. The hot kisses came as expected. When Qin Muxuan was kissed by Gu Zijin’s cold lips, her mind went blank.
Gu Zijin pulled his collar and the button soon broke open, exposing his delicate collarbone. It seemed that Gu Zijin was possessed by an evil spirit, and his eyes became gloomier.
“No!”
Qin Muxuan yanked at Gu Zijin’s hand moving downward. What was he doing? This was a relationship that should only last for two months! However, Gu Zijin said with a sneer on his lips.
“Qin Muxuan, do you think you can get away with it after you get involved with me?”
“No… Please…”
Qin Muxuan’s eyelashes were moist. Her watery eyes were full of fear, as if she wanted to escape in fear like she had been five years ago. Her eyes made Gu Zijin uneasy, so he let go and hugged Qin Muxuan.
“Don’t cry. I don’t like to see people cry.”
The low and magnetic voice came up. Qin Muxuan tried to suppress the surging tears in her eyes.
“Gu Zijin, I knew it was Qin Family that framed you first five years ago. But the die is cast, and if you don’t forgive me, there’s nothing I can do. I know you’re angry at being framed. But I’ve also lost a lot… I’m a victim too.”
Qin Muxuan said in a choked voice. Five years ago, everyone blamed the Qin Family and accused her of doing the shameless things. But clearly, she was also a victim…
If her stepmother had not drugged her and sent her to the presidential suite, she would have married someone else and had a happy and fulfilling life like others.
She wouldn’t be out there alone with her kid, struggling to make money on her own and raising the child.
“Victim?”
Gu Zijin made a slight sound, got up and let go of Qin Muxuan. His face became as calm as it had been at first.
“Tidy yourself up. I hope you are not like this when we meet Xiaobai.”
Qin Muxuan lowered her head to arrange the clothes, while Gu Zijin tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, covering a little annoyance in his eyes.
Gu Zijin’s nice lips compressed into a straight line, and he started the car.
Gu Family.
Qin Xiaobai heard the engine being turned off a long way away, and he said softly.
“Grandma, are mom and dad back?”
“Um, would you like to meet them?”
“Yes!”
Qin Xiaobai came down from the arms of Ye Han and went out, while Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan came in one by one.
“Dad.”
Qin Xiaobai raised his head. When Gu Zijin saw Qin Xiaobai, his looked a little more tender. He just wanted to bend over to hold the small steamed bun, while Qin Xiaobai unconcernedly passed by him with short legs and ran directly to Qi Muxuan.
“Mom, hug!”
Only when Qin Muxuan hugged Qin Xiaobai did she give a slight smile.
“Have you behaved yourself at school today?”
“Yes, but…”
Qin Xiaobai frowned in distress.
“Many of my classmates gave me snacks today. I don’t like to eat so many snacks.”
“That’s because they like you.”
“Not at all. That’s because I have a father now. Why were they not so good before?”
Qin Xiaobai snorted softly and then leaned his head on Qin Muxuan’s shoulder, holding Qin Muxuan tightly with his two small hands, “Mom, you must be tired from working so long. I’ll massage your shoulders later.”
When looking at the harmonious scene of mother and son behind him, Gu Zijin felt a little uncomfortable in the heart. It seemed that not only he was completely ignored, but also he looked like a third party.
Ye Han asked Aunt Chen to heat the dishes. When seeing Gu Zijin was a little upset, she comforted him.
“You’re really… If you always wear a long face, which child will want to get close to you?”
“Mom.”
“Today, Miss Yan came here again. The old lady wanted to bring you together. What do you think of it?”
Gu Zijin hung the coat in the cloakroom, changed the shoes to go in and his black eyes slightly swept Qin Muxuan who was holding Qin Xiaobai. Qin Muxuan was changing shoes for Qin Xiaobai, looking serious and focused. She did not pay any attention to the conversation here.
A few small flames rose in his heart. Gu Zijin looked grim, “It is up to you.”
After dinner, Qin Muxuan stayed with Qin Xiaobai in the living room. Qin Xiaobai sat on the floor playing with the Lego toys in front of him. These were the full set of Legos with the best designs. Gu Family always tried their best to love and take care of Qin Xiaobai.
After taking a shower, Gu Zijin went downstairs to pour a glass of water. His eyes fell on Qin Muxuan and Qin Xiaobai, and he rubbed his brows with his fingertips.
“It’s already nine o’clock. Take Xiaobai up to bed later. Children shouldn’t stay up late.”
Qin Xiaobai stopped his action and raised his head, “Dad, can you take me to the amusement park with mom this Sunday?”
Gu Zijin soon found out that the TV was playing a cartoon, where two naive bears were riding the roller coaster at the amusement park.
Gu Zijin thought for a moment. Qin Muxuan kept her back to him. After what happened in the daytime, Qin Muxuan seemed to avoid him deliberately and her eyes kept avoiding his.
“Ask your mom. It’s ok for me.”
After he heard that, Qin Xiaobai’s eyes brightened up. He looked at Qin Muxuan and his small face was full of expectation, “Mom, can we go to the amusement park this weekend?”
Qin Muxuan nodded. Qin Xiaobai’s eyes showed some joyfulness. He gave Qin Muxuan a kiss on the cheek.
When seeing this, Gu Zijin looked a little softer. He poured a glass of water and went upstairs.
Qin Xiaobai whispered, “Mom, dad comes out of the study very late at night. Last time when I got up to pee, I saw dad was still working in the study. Do you want to go and ask dad to go to bed early?”
“Xiaobai, mom can’t interfere in such things.”
“But…”
Qin Xiaobai was a little anxious, “But if dad always stays up late and doesn’t sleep, he will be in poor health and cannot accompany me to the amusement park at the weekend.”
Qin Xiaobai pushed Qin Muxuan upstairs with his small chubby hands, “Mom, go. Mom, dad will listen to you.”
“…”
When hearing Qin Xiaobai keep calling her “mom” softly, Qin Muxuan really couldn’t think of any words to refuse him. She was pushed to the door of the study. The door was half-closed. Qin Muxuan took a deep breath, “Good boy, Xiaobai. Let Mom hug you and go back to bed, ok?”
“No.”
Qin Xiaobai directly pushed the door open. Gu Zijin was having a video conference when he heard the sound coming from the door. He saw Qin Muxuan and frowned, “Get out.”
Qin Muxuan was eager to go out, but the small steamed bun beside continued with perseverance.
“Dad! Mom has something to tell you!”
At this time, Gu Zijin noticed Qin Xiaobai. He interrupted the video conference with a flick of his finger. Qin Xiaobai slipped out like a fish and shut the door of the study with a snap. They heard the faint sound of a key locking the door.
Qin Muxuan: “…”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Gu Zijin: “…”
