Chapter 60: Gu Zijin, You Asshole
Qin Muxuan knew that Qin Feng was being considerate. After all, if she continued to work like this, she would only waste her time and be unable to complete her tasks. Since she got off work early today, she didn’t call Uncle Chen to let him pick her up and only wandered on the street. The passengers walked by her in a steady stream, and she only felt the cool breeze.
On the large screen of the advertising building at the crossroads were displayed the images of Yan Yuxiao and Gu Zijin being together. As Qin Muxuan saw Yan Yuxiao smiling bashfully to Gu Zijin and them hugging together on the screen, tears were welling up in her eyes.
“Young lady, are you interested in coming into our bar? 30% off for the new customers!”
Hearing the passionate voice behind her, Qin Muxuan turned around and saw a bar, on the board of which was written ‘Drink your fill, sing your song!’. Qin Muxuan bit her lips lightly, hearing the voice inside her head urging her to go. Then she entered the bar.
After the spicy and icy alcohol went through her throat, Qin Muxuan coughed violently. It took her a while to adapt to this taste. The delayed effect of this alcohol was quite strong, which made her dizzy. Qin Muxuan had ordered a dozen of bottles, but she was so bad at drinking that she got drunk with her fair face turning red after drinking two bottles, making her look seductive and enchanting under the colorful lights.
The waiter beside her had already got used to seeing some guests like this, so he didn’t pay much attention to her. Only when Qin Muxuan saw the time on her phone did she get a bit sober. She realized that she still had to go back to the Gu’s house, otherwise Xiaobai would worry about her. Thinking of that, she stood up and walked to the counter to pay the bill. Then she staggered out of the bar.
The pale moonlight fell on the ground. Qin Muxuan took out her phone and tried to find Uncle Chen’s number. However, all those numbers looked so blurred and it took her quite long to recognize the word ‘Chen’. As she tried to dial that number, her slender wrist was grabbed by a fat hand. The next second, she smelled nauseous reek of wine, which clearly was of low quality unlike the fine ones. Qin Muxuan who had already drunk a lot of wine only wanted to vomit when she smelled that.
“Little beauty, you are so pretty. Come with me, I’ll let you enjoy yourself.”
The middle-aged man whistled and grabbed Qin Muxuan’s wrist tightly. Qin Muxuan held onto the tree and finally threw up. She tried her best to withdraw her hand while saying in anger,
“Let go of me! I don’t know you!”
“You’ll know about me later.”
The man’s fat and ugly face and his pouting mouth approached her, but Qin Muxuan was not strong enough to get rid of him. With a panicky look flashing in her eyes, the only sound echoing in her brain was, “No, no…”
Qin Muxuan closed her eyes with fear while still trying her best to struggle. After she kicked on the man’s belly, the man groaned with his face turning pale. He said fiercely,
“You bitch! How dare you hit me!”
As the man was about to slap her, Qin Muxuan could not stop trembling. However, she didn’t feel the expected pain. As she opened her eyes timidly with her eyelashes shivering, she saw Yin Youting grabbing that man’s hand and kicking the man over. The drunken fat man didn’t have the strength to fight back and only shouted,This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“I dare you to leave! I’ll find someone tomorrow to beat you up!”
Yin Youting looked frightening right now. Qin Muxuan seldom saw Yin Youting flying into a rage, but right now she felt that the flames of fury in his eyes were able to engulf that man. She heard him saying,
“Get the hell out of here, or I’ll let you die in City A.”
The man was terrified of Yin Youting’s overbearing manner and got sober right away. Then he found the clothes Yin Youting was wearing looked quite expensive. Knowing that he had offended a big shot, the man scrambled away at once.
After the middle-aged man had left, Yin Youting finally cooled down a bit. When he had just driven by the bar, he accidentally saw two figures in front of the door. After he recognized Qin Muxuan’s face, he even wanted to kill that man right away. Qin Muxuan who had struggled too hard already lost all of her strength. Due to the effect of the alcohol, she fell into Yin Youting’s arms by instinct. Yin Youting looked at her with a tender and self-condemned look on his face, thinking, ‘Five years ago, Xuan must have been helpless like this.
After Yin Youting put Qin Muxuan on the back seat of his car, he covered her body with a blanket. While they were on the road, Qin Muxuan frowned deeply and had the feeling of nausea the whole time. Yin Youting had no choice but to bring her to the nearest hotel. The owner of the hotel was his friend, so he could ensure her safety when Qin Muxuan stayed there.
After he held Qin Muxuan up and entered a room, he put her on a bed carefully. While he was wiping her face with a towel, she held his hand subconsciously. Yin Youting felt his heart missing a beat. As long as Qin Muxuan asked him to stay, he swore that he would take good care of her and make an all-out effort to let her live a good life in order to make up for her loss in the past five years.
“Gu Zijin, you asshole…”
After Qin Muxuan had spoken the drunken words, Yin Youting’s body went completely stiff. He had assumed that Qin Muxuan was forced to stay in the Gu’s family by Gu Zijin, so he was determined to save her from Gu Zijin no matter what it took. However, now he had just heard Qin Muxuan calling Gu Zijin’s name in drunkenness.
Yin Youting clenched his fists while trembling lightly. The reason why he felt so distressed and upset now was that he had grown up with Qin Muxuan and known her so well. He knew that the person whose name Qin Muxuan had called when she was drunk must be the one she loved a lot. After that, he covered her body with a quilt and put a glass of water as well as some pills beside her bed. Then, he walked out of the room because he was afraid that he would go crazy if he stayed there. It turned out he was the only one who had wished they could be together again during the past five years.
Thinking of their past sweet moments, Yin Youting closed his eyes in order to hold back his tears. If he had taken over his family business at that time instead of choosing his medical career, he would have persuaded the shareholders to help Qin’s family when Qin’s company was about to go bankrupt. However, because of one wrong step, he lost everything. He had chosen the job he liked, but he lost Qin Muxuan forever.
As he thought of that, he gave a wry smile and punched on the wall fiercely, feeling no pain at all.
The Gu’s house was ablaze with light.
Qin Xiaobai sat on the couch while staring at the door with a worried look, saying,
“Daddy, why hasn’t Dabai come back yet?”
Gu Zijin didn’t reply to him. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. The moment he answered the call, he heard Uncle Chen’s anxious voice,
“Young Master, I’ve arrived at Miss Qin’s firm, but it was closed at five o’clock in the afternoon. Someone said that Miss Qin left alone.”
