Chapter 180: Fatal Proof
When the pasta and the dishes were put on the table, Qin Muxuan had a premonition right away seeing the red and black color.
‘Gosh, is anyone able to eat this thing?’
“Mom, I don’t feel that hungry now.”
‘Me either…’
Qin Muxuan thought like that but didn’t say it out loud.
After Gu Zijin walked out of the kitchen, he said to the mother and son who were sitting dazedly by the table, “Why haven’t you eaten anything?”
Qin Muxuan touched Qin Xiaobai’s elbow, trying to let the latter speak something first.
“Well, dad, you worked hardest today, we want you to eat first.”
“That’s right, it’s been a long day for you. Why don’t you eat first?”
Gu Zijin knew well what they were thinking about right now.
“The color might look bad because the sauces here are not so suitable, but it’s not that bad as you thought.”
When they had gone shopping for food, they all forgot to buy sauces. There were only two kinds of sauces in the pretty kitchen of the suite, which were the tomato juice and BBQ sauce. Therefore, Gu Zijin could only make a dish of a hybrid style.
Qin Muxuan remembered the taste of the vegetable noodle which Gu Zijin had cooked for her, so she ventured to have a try. Then she said surprisedly, “Xiaobai, have a bite. It’s good!”
Qin Xiaobai took a bite of the dish then.
‘Eh, it tastes so weird. Mom must have a strange appetite because she’s pregnant. I can never take another bite of that Red Cabbage with BBQ sauce.’
The boy didn’t dare to say much and pulled over the pasta and beef steak quietly without eating any other dishes.
…
After dinner, Qin Xiaobai went back to his room to sleep right away, because he didn’t want to influence his photo shooting work tomorrow.
‘I won’t look good if I don’t sleep well.’
Gu Zijin went to wash the dishes, leaving Qin Muxuan in the living room alone.
Actually, Qin Muxuan was thinking about how they were going to sleep tonight. There were only two rooms and Xiaobai had already locked his door.
‘Xiaobai clearly has done that on purpose!’
“You are not sleepy?”
“No, not at all.”
Saying that, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but yawn.
She covered her mouth at once and then saw the meaningful smile on Gu Zijin’s face. He said, “You can go to bed if you are tired, I can sleep in the living room.”
“Is that… OK?”
Qin Muxuan asked that tentatively.
Gu Zijin nodded.
Qin Muxuan finally let out a sigh of relief. After she took a bath, she lay onto the soft large bed and prepared to sleep. Suddenly…
Someone hugged her from behind.
Qin Muxuan wriggled uncomfortably.
Gu Zijin said in a low voice, “Don’t move. You are pregnant now. I won’t do anything to you.”
Qin Muxuan stopped moving right away. She hadn’t rested in Gu Zijin’s arms quietly without being disturbed for a long time.
“OK.”
“Just go to sleep.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t reply and closed her eyes. Lately she had always had nightmares.
Sometimes she couldn’t sleep for the whole night. The baby in her belly made her even more agitated.
However, tonight she had a sound sleep. Until dawn, she hadn’t had a single bad dream.
She was woken up by a call. Gu Zijin was already not beside her.
“Hello, Muxuan, is everything all right with you?”
It was Yin Youting’s voice.
Qin Muxuan still sounded sleepy because she had just woken up, “Yes, I’m fine.”
“I knew it the moment I heard your voice. It seems you are having a great time now.”
Qin Muxuan sat up, “Yeah… you can say that.”
“Muxuan, please don’t blame me.”
“What are you talking about? Why would I blame you?”
“I told Gu Zijin about your pregnancy without your permission.”
‘So, it’s Yin Youting that told him that…’ Qin Muxuan thought.
“Actually, I think you should face your true feelings. Ask yourself how you feel about him.”
‘How do I feel about him?’ Qin Muxuan lowered her head. She felt the feelings she had for Gu Zijin were still very complicated. She relied on him, but it was not like she had to be with him.
She knew that she liked him.
“It doesn’t matter if I like him or not. I heard so much news about his engagement. I couldn’t even tell if it is real or not.”
“Muxuan, sometimes we cannot judge everything by the appearance. If he really is engaged and loves his fiancée, why did he travel so far to take care of you?”
‘That’s right, why?’
“Also, Muxuan, I have a lot of work to do, so I cannot call you like this anymore.”
Qin Muxuan said right away, “You work is more important. Don’t worry about me. Everything is fine with me here.”
“Good to hear that.”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Muxuan started to ponder Yin Youting’s words which told her to face her true feelings. The last two days with Gu Zijin was the most relaxing time for her. Also, Xiaobai seemed to be happier than ever.
Then, she walked out and asked, “Where is Xiaobai?”
“He left for shooting the photos.” Gu Zijin walked over with the dishes, “Come for the breakfast.”
“Thanks.”
…
In Yin Youting’s company, his assistant walked into his office.
“Mr. Yin, we need to choose a new spokesperson for our products in the new quarter. Now we have a candidate.”
Yin Youting was never interested in the stars who endorsed the products in his company. However, when he read the files, he suddenly asked, “Who is that?”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“It’s Yan Yuxiao.”
Yin Youting put down the paper and said, “Why her? I don’t agree.”
“Actually, I don’t feel that’s a good idea either. Also, another department of our company also opposed this decision which was made by the propaganda department. Some staff have dug out a lot of secret affairs about Yan Yuxiao. Are you interested in having a look at them?”
The assistant was merely mentioning it randomly because she knew that Yin Youting would never be interested in that.
“OK, prepare the papers, I need to see them.”
“… OK!”
‘What? What is wrong about the president today?’ The assistant thought.
Yin Youting went through all the secrets of Yan Yuxiao. If those were all real, he was pretty sure that Yan Yuxiao would never be able to stay in the show business again.
“Can you guarantee the authenticity of these things?”
“We only have the statements on paper now, but it’s not hard to find the proof.”
Hearing that, Yin Youting gave the orders, “OK, find all the evidence of those affairs. The quicker the better.”
“I see.”
When the assistant walked out of the office, she still couldn’t figure out why Yin Youting would be interested in a star’s secrets.
‘Is Yan Yuxiao his enemy?’
Yin Youting knew that the proof would be fatal to Yan Yuxiao.
However, he was still thinking about whether he should give all the proof to Qin Muxuan.
‘She’s pregnant now. Is it the best time to tell her this?’
“No.” Yin Youting rubbed his forehead, “Just wait until I find all the evidence.”
Yan Yuxiao was not going to run away anyway.
