Chapter 82: An Adult Must Set an Example
Thinking of that, Gu Zijin showed a gloomy look. Then he couldn’t help wondering if Qin Xiaobai had been bribed. Meanwhile, Qin Xiaobai who didn’t get any response already spoke in a tender voice,
“Daddy, since you have already gone on a business trip for that project, you shouldn’t leave it unfinished. My teacher in the kindergarten has said that one should never give up halfway. Otherwise you’ll set a bad example to me and I’ll be misled by you.”
Hearing Qin Xiaobai’s serious words, Gu Zijin showed a helpless smile on his face because there was nothing he could do with this chubby boy. Gu Zijin assumed that Qin Xiaobai must have ripped Ye Niancheng off since the boy had called to put in a good word for the latter. What was more, it was a profit-making project to him anyway, so continuing the cooperation would do no harm to Gu Zijin at all. Then the latter said,
“Fine, I agree with you, but you have to behave yourself at home. Don’t make Dabai angry.”
Qin Xiaobai, with his lips curled, thought, “Daddy, you are the only one who always makes mommy angry!’ However, a man must know when to yield. Qin Xiaobai still needed his dad to do him a favor, so he could only agree with his dad in a soft voice.
After Qin Xiaobai hung up the phone, he gave a joyful smile thinking of the money which had just been transferred to Qin Muxuan’s account. Then he deleted the message quickly, knowing that Qin Muxuan would definitely send such a large amount of money back to Ye Niancheng if she knew about this. He preferred to give her a surprise.
As he thought of that, he got extremely cheerful, ‘Dabai would surely praise me by then. I’ll be the most adorable boy to her.”
On the other side, after Gu Zijin hung up the phone, he told his secretary to restart the program. Hearing that news, Ye Niancheng cried with joy. Although Qin Xiaobai had agreed to help him on the phone, he was still very flustered because he was afraid that he would suffer a double loss. It never occurred to him that Qin Xiaobai had managed to persuade Gu Zijin so easily. With a happy look on Ye Niancheng’s face, he apologized repeatedly to Gu Zijin and uttered lots of fawning words.
The next day, as Qin Muxuan woke up, she saw the little plump boy in her arms right away. She couldn’t help kissing on Qin Xiaobai’s tender cheek. Qin Xiaobai was asleep right now, but he still put his arms around Qin Muxuan’s neck subconsciously. Seeing Qin Xiaobai being so clingy to her, Qin Muxuan got a bit touched. Qin Xiaobai was always a good boy who liked to cling to her. During the few years when they had lived in poverty, Qin Muxuan could only get through it because Qin Xiaobai never complained about anything.
Uncle Chen was already waiting outside.
“Miss Qin, should I pick you up in front of the Gu Group at the same time as yesterday?”
Qin Muxuan nodded. As she sat in the car, she sorted out the papers which she got yesterday and put on bluetooth earphones to listen to the lecture. Uncle Chen couldn’t help but get a bit confused seeing Qin Muxuan working so hard. In fact, Qin Muxuan could live a very wealthy life even if she didn’t do anything because of her relationship with Gu Zijin. However, she still chose to earn a living by herself.
‘Not to mention how pretty and shapely she is.’ Uncle Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about that. Now he started to admire Qin Muxuan. After all, fewer and fewer women tended to work diligently instead of relying on their beauty to gain a sudden rise in their lives nowadays.
The car arrived at the Gu Group.
As the senior designers saw Qin Muxuan coming in, they stopping doing their jobs right away and looked to her kindly, which made Qin Muxuan feel extremely flattered. After she walked over to them in a humble manner, they all scrambled to teach her.
Lots of the employees felt very unfair when seeing that. However, none of them dared to speak ill of Qin Muxuan. After all, the person who supported Qin Muxuan was obviously Gu Zijin, the heir of the Gu Group, and none of the employees dared to provoke their boss.
When they thought of Qin Muxuan, they couldn’t help but envy this woman who had married such an excellent man and given birth to such an adorable kid like Qin Xiaobai.
After Qin Muxuan finished asking her questions, she found a place to study. Suddenly, she saw a glass of warm water in front of her. As she raised her head and saw Chu Feng, she got dazed right away. Then she took the glass of water and said thanks.
Chu Feng, face turning a bit red, said,
“My pleasure, Muxuan.”
Qin Muxuan then remembered that Chu Feng had expressed his affection toward her, which made her feel a bit guilty to him. Although she didn’t know why Chu Feng liked her, she had still disappointed him anyway. Then she said,
“Chu Feng, what happened before… I think you’ll find a better girl than me.”
Chu Feng felt as if his heart had been pierced when hearing her words. If he was as powerful as Gu Zijin, he would definitely chase after her. However, the reality was that there was no comparability between him and Gu Zijin. One was the president, while the other was an employee. They were born different.
While Qin Muxuan was drinking the warm water slowly, Mu Mu happened to walk upstairs with a large bunch of roses in her arms. As she saw Qin Muxuan, she let out a sigh of relief and said,
“Muxuan, Muxuan, I finally found you. Someone sent you a bunch of flowers. Listen to what’s written on the gift card, ‘As long as you are willing to take my hands, I’ll wait for you forever.’ That’s so sweet, is it from our president?”
Chu Feng felt a heavy blow instantly. Qin Muxuan took the roses confusedly while wondering if they were from Gu Zijin. Then she remembered that Gu Zijin did have asked her what kind of gift she wanted before he left. While she thanked Mu Mu with a gentle smile on her face, Chu Feng left with a depressed look. Seeing that, Mu Mu shook her head and sighed, ‘Poor Chu Feng, why did you fall in love with president’s wife? Alas.’
At dinner, Qin Muxuan looked at the roses beside her hand while sending a message to Gu Zijin. This was the first time she had received flowers these five years. She didn’t even know if she should say some sweet words to thank him as if she was his girlfriend. She tapped on the screen lightly, thinking, ‘What should I send him? Love you, kiss you? No, that’s too much. Thank you, I am so happy? No, too official.’
Qin Muxuan frowned. As she was thinking about that, Gu Zijin suddenly called her. Qin Muxuan took a deep breath and picked up the phone,
“Hello.”
“Have you eaten dinner yet?”
Qin Muxuan lowered her head to look at her watch, saying,
“No, I haven’t. I’ll eat with Xiaobai when he comes back.”
“OK.”
Having glanced at the roses beside her hand, Qin Muxuan nerved herself and decided to thank him. She assumed that Gu Zijin suddenly called her at this hour because he wanted to know her reaction toward the flowers. So, she bit her lips lightly and said,Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Eh… Gu Zijin, the flowers you sent are beautiful. I really love them.”
The man on the other end of the line suddenly fell into silence, which made Qin Muxuan feel ill at ease at once. ‘What does this mean? Did I say something wrong?’ As Qin Muxuan thought of that in fear, she suddenly heard his magnetic and deep voice,
“What flowers?”
“Oh, the ninety-nine roses you have sent me.”
Qin Muxuan fiddled with the petals subconsciously. The scent of the roses was very pleasant, which she liked a lot.
