Chapter 49: I Am Your Father
Qin Muxuan got out of her bedroom and dialed back. Yin Youting picked up the phone in no time while saying in an anxious voice,
“Xuan, you didn’t return to your apartment last night. Where did you go?”
Having glanced at the door behind her, Qin Muxuan said in a low voice,
“Yin Youting, thanks for taking care of me during this period. I’ve already returned to Gu’s house. Xiaobai needs me.”
The line was quiet for a moment, which gave Qin Muxuan a nervous feeling. If it was possible, she wished that she didn’t need to bother Yin Youting anymore. After all, she was not the lady of the Qin Family now.
After a long while, Yin Youting’s voice came through from the line,
“Fine, OK, I see.”
Then the busy signal sounded in the phone. Qin Muxuan put her cell phone in her pocket and turned around to go back to her bedroom. The moment she pushed the door open, she saw Gu Zijin leaning against the wall while staring at her with coldness in his eyes. He asked,
“Who were you talking with on the phone?”
“Yin Youting.”
Qin Muxuan felt there was no need to lie since there truly was nothing between her and Yin Youting. Gu Zijin uttered “um” and stared at Qin Muxuan’s pretty face. Then he put his hand on Qin Muxuan’s waist and held her in his arms. Before Qin Muxuan had time to react, she already felt the man’s hot breath.
Gu Zijin pressed Qin Muxuan’s body while biting Qin Muxuan’s lips as if his rage which had been caused by her could all be vented out this way. Meanwhile, Qin Muxuan’s ears already turned completely red while her heart beat super fast.
“Dabai, are you awake now?”
Hearing that tender and adorable voice, Qin Muxuan suddenly came back to her sense and pushed Gu Zijin away. Gu Zijin touched his thin lips with his fingers while watching Qin Muxuan escaping as if he was still relishing that moment. In the meantime, he also wondered if Xiaobai was an obstacle for him to stay with Qin Muxuan alone.
Qin Xiaobai had no idea that Gu Zijin already bore a grudge against him. When he saw Qin Muxuan coming out, he opened his arms and asked for a hug in his panda jumpsuit. Qin Muxuan then bent over and took him up right away. Qin Xiaobai rubbed Qin Muxuan’s cheek with his face while saying,
“Dabai, I’m going to school now. You have to stay at home and don’t run around.”
Seeing Qin Xiaobai being like this, Qin Muxuan felt deeply moved, saying,
“I won’t go out. When you get back, I’ll make snow pear soup for you, all right?”
As Qin Xiaobai heard that exciting news, his eyes sparkled. Before, only when he refused to drink the bitter medicine would Qin Muxuan cook that soup for him. Then as something occurred to him all of a sudden, he put his chubby hands on Qin Muxuan’s shoulders while saying seriously,
“Mommy, you can only cook it for me, don’t let daddy drink it.”
Gu Zijin happened to hear Qin Xiaobai’s words when he came out of the room after getting changed. Qin Xiaobai turned his face away in a huff when he saw Gu Zijin. After all, this little boy hadn’t forgiven Gu Zijin for lying to him in collusion with his grandma and great grandma!
Gu Zijin compressed his thin lips and said,
“I’m not allowed to drink the snow pear soup?”
Qin Xiaobai, with his fists clenched, hugged Qin Muxuan as if he was trying to declare his ownership of Qin Muxuan while saying,
“Dabai is mine. You can not drink the soup she makes.”
However, the next second, Qin Xiaobai was lifted by Gu Zijin directly. Qin Xiaobai had a bad feeling instantly and waved his arms,
“Mommy! Help me!”
Qin Muxuan was amused but also annoyed seeing the ridiculous father and son!
Seeing that Qin Muxuan had no intention to rescue him, Qin Xiaobai wrinkled his face and almost shed tears, thinking injuredly, ‘It’s over. It’s totally over. Dabai doesn’t even protect me when I am caught by daddy. Ah… Don’t we agree to be each other’s angel?’ After Gu Zijin lifted Qin Xiaobai to the study with an imposing manner, the latter had already lost all his arrogance. The moment Gu Zijin put Qin Xiaobai on the ground, the little boy gave up fighting right away and held Gu Zijin’s leg,
“Daddy, look how cute I am. Could you really bring yourself to spank me?”
Gu Zijin snorted, saying,
“Now you realize I am your father?”
Qin Xiaobai nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice. Gu Zijin was never angry at all. He just felt a bit displeased every time Qin Xiaobai ruined the intimate moment between him and Qin Muxuan. Since Qin Xiaobai behaved so tamely, Gu Zijin cooled down at once. The reason why Gu Zijin had brought Qin Xiaobai here was that he happened to have something to say to this boy.
After Qin Xiaobai and Gu Zijin stayed in the study for a long while, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but get a little worried. ‘Did Gu Zijin really beat Xiaobai?’ Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan felt her heart shaking. Then she walked to the study in a hurry. Meanwhile, the door of the study happened to open. Qin Xiaobai who was walking by the door saw Qin Muxuan coming and said with his mouth twitched,
“Dabai, I can not be your cute boy anymore, alas.”
After Qin Xiaobai left the room with sighs and groans, Gu Zijin walked out in a good mood. Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but ask,
“What did you say to Xiaobai?”
With a meaningful look crossing his face, Gu Zijin said,
“You want to know?”
Seeing Qin Muxuan nodding straightforwardly, Gu Zijin hummed and said in earnest,
“I told Xiaobai not to stick to you like glue all the time, otherwise the consequences will be severe.”
“…”
After breakfast, Qin Muxuan watched Qin Xiaobai leaving for school. Gu Zijin went to the company. So there were only Elderly Lady Gu, Mrs. Gu and Qin Muxuan in the big house. Mrs. Gu was fine with Qin Muxuan being there, but Elderly Lady Gu clearly still held the grudge. Right after Gu Zijin had left, Qin Muxuan heard Elderly Lady Gu inviting Yan Yuxiao to come over on the phone.
Qin Muxuan tried very hard to restrain her grievance and walked upstairs. Although He Cheng would still give her lessons, she didn’t want to throw herself into studying and stop planning for her future. She needed to find a job which could at least offer her a decent life after she left Gu’s family.
As she remembered what He Cheng had said to her last time, she took out his name card and contacted him. After the line got through, she took a deep breath and said,
“Professor, last time you said that you could help me find a job…”
The Gu Group.
After Gu Zijin had worked for a whole day, he prepared to get off work. Right at this moment, the cell phone on his desk suddenly rang. Gu Zijin picked up the phone with a sullen look in his eyes,NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Grandma.”
“Yuxiao is waiting for you on the first floor.”
Gu Zijin’s face turned gloomy right away. However, Elderly Lady Gu’s strict voice still came through over the phone,
“Do not forget the thing you have promised me. Also, bring Xiaobai to register his residence when you are free. We can not let a boy of our family have Qin as his last name.”
“Xiaobai’s situation has just got better. It’s not a good idea to change his last name right now.”
“Why not? You are his father! Will Qin Muxuan not agree to that?”
Gu Zijin, with an impatient look appearing on his face, hung up the phone directly. Elderly Lady Gu, hearing the busy signal, flew into a rage at once and thought to herself, ‘Zijin really is getting more and more stubborn. Last time if I didn’t get sick, he would break his neck to protect her!’
