Chapter 190: Something Important about Her
Qin Muxuan was tingling as if she was run through by electric current until she had lunch.
‘What’s wrong? I’m not a teenager. Xiaobai’s grown up. Why is my heart still pounding after the proposal?’
‘Well… It was the first time that someone proposed to me…’
‘It happened so fast. I wasn’t ready for that, but I nodded…’
“Are you still thinking about the proposal?”
Gu Zijin offered Qin Muxuan some food. Thinking that she was his perfectly justifiable fiancée, he grinned gently.
“Dabai’s shy. Though she has me and my sister in her belly, she still has a tender heart. Daddy’s proposal must dizzy her for a few days.”
“No!”
Qin Muxuan denied instantly, ‘I’m not a little girl!’
‘Just… I’m just shocked today.’
“Muxuan, I mean it.”
Qin Muxuan raised her head. Her eyes met Gu Zijin’s. She understood his seriousness.
He wouldn’t have proposed to her in the presence of scores of reporters and done countless things for her if he wasn’t sincere.
“I know.”
Qin Xiaobai sighed, “You’re so disgustingly romantic! Well, I can give you a ticket.”
Qin Muxuan snorted, teasing Xiaobai, “What kind of ticket? Don’t be so mysterious. As superstar Xiaobai’s manager, I haven’t received the information that you’re going to perform.”
Qin Xiaobai scratched his head shyly, “I had an audition for a juvenile role last time, remember? It was recommended by the chief editor of the Fashion Magazine. I got the role.”
Qin Muxuan was dumbfounded. Then she looked at Gu Zijin.
Keeping his head down, Gu Zijin continued to eat in silence.
‘Well, they all know that, just me… They hid it from me again!’
“I’ve told you to stay away from the entertainment circle…”
“Well.” Gu Zijin explained, “I looked out for him this time. It’s a stage play, which has little to do with the entertainment circle. If Xiaobai’s interested in this field, it will be an excellent platform.”
Qin Muxuan pursed her lips. She realized that a stage play had strict requirements. Xiaobai could successfully pass the audition, which meant he was talented.
“Dabai, daddy, you must come! I need you!”
Qin Muxuan stroked Xiaobai’s head, “Of course, I will watch every performance of Xiaobai. By the way, you did a good job!”
Realizing that Xiaobai was interested in the stage play, she would definitely support her son if Xiaobai’s safety was ensured.
“Great!” Hearing his mother’s praise, Qin Xiaobai was thrilled.
They continued to have their lunch. The room was full of joy and love. They lived a warm and peaceful life as if they could forget about any trouble. Qin Muxuan thought, ‘I feel calm and relaxed at this moment.’
The news of Gu Zijin’s proposal topped various leading websites in an instant. Press coverage showed details of the scene.
The news also described their smooch, which made Qin Muxuan blush.
“Well, that’s impressive. Those reporters are expert in writing. They can serialize novels online. Their novels will be popular.”
“Let me see.” Putting his arms around her waist, Gu Zijin scanned the content. “Not bad. They deserve encouragement.”
“Wait, what will happen when your grandma and Yan Yuxiao see this? You should make a plan.”
Gu Zijin paused for a while, ‘That’s right. They must take actions in response to my proposal.’
In the Gu’s family, Yan Yuxiao was weeping in the presence of Elderly Lady Gu.
The old lady was heartbroken. However, she couldn’t hurt Zijin, because he was her grandson.
“Yuxiao, you’re a gem. It’s Zijin’s fault. He’s not good enough for you.”
“No, grandma. Don’t say that. In fact, I’m delighted to accompany you these days.”
Elderly Lady Gu sighed, ‘My grandson’s dumb. He dislikes such a good woman. What’s worse, he’s obsessed with a bitch!’
“Dear, tell me what you want. Zijin can’t give you. I will try my best to satisfy you.”
“Grandma, I’m not here to ask for anything. I’m here because I want to keep you company. I’m willing to stay with you, even if Zijin gets married. I hope he can notice me one day.”
The old lady could only nod pityingly, “All right. If you wish, I’m here with you.”
“Um!”
…
Qin Muxuan’s baby bump grew. She felt it was different from those days when she had carried Xiaobai. In the past, she retained water.
However, she got fat this time.
She finally distinguished between retaining water and getting fat.
“Is it the time for prenatal care?” Qin Muxuan murmured to herself.
“Yes.” Gu Zijin answered, “I will go with you.”
Qin Muxuan was taken aback. She turned around.
“When did you come here? You really scare me!”
Though Qin Muxuan reprimanded him, she wasn’t furious.
“Just now.” Gu Zijin hugged Qin Muxuan from behind. She was soft and timid, which was adorable. “You’re right. Those tests should be done.”
“I know, so I contact the doctor.”
“Okay. What did she say?”
“She said I could receive prenatal care two days later.”
Gu Zijin nodded, “Two days later, right?”
“Yep.”
Gu Zijin called Lisa immediately, “I have something important to do two days later. Postpone my schedule.”
“But Mr. Gu, we have…”
“Handle it.”
Lisa was helpless, “Okay, I will work till death for your life-long happiness. Wish your family a cheerful day.”
“… You’re so annoying.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Gu Zijin hung up the phone.
Qin Muxuan heard their dialogue and burst out laughing because Gu Zijin had turned on the speaker.
“I’m amazed by Lisa’s talent. She’s cute.”
“If you like her, I will ask her to come here and tell jokes. Her salary will be doubled.” Gu Zijin raised his eyebrows.
Qin Muxuan sat up, noticing Gu Zijin’s gloomier face. She thought, ‘I need to be smart.’
“Sorry, that’s not funny at all. Forget it.” It seemed that something popped up in Qin Muxuan’s mind, “Right, Lisa said you would have something to do that day. You don’t have to accompany me, I can go there by myself…”
“I need to.” Gu Zijin cut in. Looking into her eyes, he said softly, “I need to accompany you and our baby.”
Qin Muxuan was touched, ‘It turns out that the baby and I are so important to him…’
‘I’m so lucky to meet him.’
