Chapter 15: Someone Is A Beast In Human Attire
Qin Muxuan felt for the first time that her son was trapping her.
Gu Zijin stood up and closed the laptop, “I’ll call Aunt Chen and ask her to come up and open the door.”
“President Gu.”
“Um?”
Qin Muxuan refrained from her fear of Gu Zijin, brewed for a moment and said, “Xiaobai hopes that you can go to bed early and stop working too late every day, since it is bad for your health.”
Gu Zijin’s hand which was holding the phone paused slightly. He remained calm and looked at Qin Muxuan, “What about you?”
“Me?”
Qin Muxuan didn’t expect that Gu Zijin would ask rhetorically. After a long time, she still didn’t come up with an answer.
Gu Zijin’s tall figure had approached her and unceremoniously trapped her between him and the door. His low magnetic voice sounded in her ears, “Xiaobai wants me to sleep early because he cares about me. Do you also care about me?”
Gu Zijin looked down at the woman that was trapped by him. Her face was visibly embarrassed now that she had nowhere to hide.
“President Gu, you are Xiaobai’s father. It is reasonable that I care about your health. So, I can make sure you can raise Xiaobai well.”
“Just because I am Xiaobai’s father?”
A trace of displeasure flashed in Gu Zijin’s deep eyes. His gaze also become oppressive. Qin Muxuan nodded, “Um, President Gu. The agreement we sign is clear. I will leave in two months. So, in these two months, for the sake of Xiaobai, I will take care of you and be obedient to you.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
After he heard this, Gu Zijin’s face became darker. His thin lips showed a mocking smile, “Then how about solving a physiological problem?”
Qin Muxuan’s face became stiff. Gu Zijin lowered his head and his thin lips kissed the soft lips of Qin Muxuan, which were as sweet as jelly and tasted as good as five years ago.
Gu Zijin’s face grew dark spontaneously, and the complexion seemed as deep and somber as mandragora.
“Qin Muxuan…”
Qin Muxuan suddenly came to her senses and pushed away Gu Zijin. Her clean and watery eyes showed great anger.
“President Gu, please respect yourself!”
Gu Zijin looked at the woman in front of him that became angry from shame, and his mood got a little better, “Don’t worry. I am not that desperate.”
Qin Muxuan was so angry that her liver felt painful. Wasn’t he desperate? Then who was it that kissed and touched her?
“Zijin, why don’t you go to sleep? You’re really… You are so busy with the company that you don’t know how to take good care of yourself.”
The voice of Mrs. Gu, Ye Han, came from outside, followed by the sound of pressing the doorknob.
“Eh, Zijin, why did you lock the door?”
Qin Xiaobai didn’t take away the key and the key was still inserted in the lock. When Qin Muxuan heard the sound of unlocking, her face instantly became red and she stared at Gu Zijin. Her clothes were a little messy now. If Mrs. Gu met her… Mrs. Gu might misunderstand!
With a “bang”, the door was opened and Ye Han walked into the study. Gu Zijin sat on the sofa with one leg on the table leisurely. He was reading a financial newspaper. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his high nose, and his white face was slightly red.
Ye Han just thought that the air conditioning temperature was high in the room and that Gu Zijin was hot, so she didn’t think too much. When she was about to say something, Gu Zijin already raised his head, “Mom, after I finish reading this newspaper, I will go to bed. You go to bed first.”
Ye Han knew that she couldn’t persuade Gu Zijin, and she frowned and told him, “Remember to ask Aunt Chen to bring you a glass of hot water later. You always stay up late and your stomach is not in good health, which hurts your body.”
“I know, mom.”
“Then I won’t bother you.”
Ye Han walked out of the study and closed the door by the way. Gu Zijin took off his glasses and looked at the back of the curtain, “Come out. Mom already left.”
At this time, Qin Muxuan stoop up and came out from the back of the curtain. She had to admire the acting of Gu Zijin in the heart. One second before, he showed a strong sexual desire; but in the next second, he became a beast in human attire, pretending that nothing had happened.
He was not a human, was he?
“President Gu, I’ve made it very clear. We should care about our own business in these two months. I hope that things today won’t happen again.”
“Qin Muxuan, are you negotiating with me?”
Gu Zijin slightly raised his deep eyes and casually stretched out his hand to hold Qin Muxuan’s chin, “There are so many women who want to be intimate with me. Do you dislike me?”
Qin Muxuan took a deep breath. It was written clearly in the agreement. He was just throwing his weight around and he was outrageous!
“President Gu, what happened five years ago was an accident. I’m not a woman who doesn’t know how to treasure myself. So, that won’t happen again.”
Gu Zijin felt a little displeasure in the heart. Qin Muxuan knocked off his hand and turned to walk out of the study.
When Qin Xiaobai heard the footsteps outside, he immediately lied on the bed, covered the small quilt and pretended to sleep. He didn’t want to be spanked by his mother!
Qin Muxuan’s eyes fell on Qin Xiaobai’s sleeping face. His long curly eyelashes were fluttering and he was obviously pretending to be asleep. Qin Muxuan sighed and her heart was soft. In fact, Xiaobai didn’t do anything wrong. He was just trying to bring her and Gu Zijin together. He just wanted a complete home.
Thinking of this, Qin Muxuan felt a little worried. If she disappeared two months later, would Xiaobai go all over the world to find her?
“Mommy, are you angry?”
A cautious voice came from the bed. Qin Muxuan didn’t know when Qin Xiaobai opened his eyes and looked at her with a little timidity. Qin Muxuan felt great pity for Qin Xiaobai when seeing his eyes. She hugged Qin Xiaobai, “Mommy is not angry. However, Xiaobai, it’s a complicated world for grown-ups. Don’t lock mommy and daddy together again, will you?”
“Mommy, don’t you like daddy?”
Disliked him? Qin Muxuan compressed her lips. She had been living in the shadow of Gu Zijin all these years. She worked hard and worried that Gu Zijin would take her child away. That feeling was so complex that she could not even recognize it.
Qin Muxuan didn’t speak. Qin Xiaobai put his plump hand on Qin Muxuan’s shoulder and said in a soft tone unique to kids, “I just need mommy. If mommy doesn’t like daddy, I don’t like daddy either.”
Children directly said what they liked, and Qin Muxuan was moved, “Good boy, Xiaobai. Mommy doesn’t dislike daddy. You can’t have that idea either, ok? Well, let’s go to bed.”
“OK!”
Because of going to bed late, Qin Muxuan was pushed by Qin Xiaobai to wake up the next day. Gu Zijin had been waiting downstairs. The tapping movement of his fingers on the steering wheel was enough to show his impatience.
Qin Muxuan quickly washed herself, took a piece of toast and got in the car.
When he saw Qin Muxuan’s anxious look, the little impatience in Gu Zijin’s heart imperceptibly disappeared, “Eat slowly and be careful not to choke.”
“Why doesn’t Xiaobai get in the car?”
“You get up late today. I let the housekeeper drive Xiaobai to school. We will go directly to the company.”
