Chapter 16: I Can Wait for You
Qin Muxuan finished the toast and the car had started outside.
Because of last night’s affair, Qin Muxuan didn’t want to speak with Gu Zijin. The more words, the more mistakes. If Gu Zijin still misunderstood her, that was not good.
Gu Zijin glanced at Qin Muxuan from the corner of his eye. Qin Muxuan kept tilting her head and was looking at the scenery outside the window. Could the scenery be more beautiful than him?
The car was parked in the underground garage.
When Qin Muxuan was about to get off the car, Gu Zijin held her slim white wrist suddenly. She shuddered all over, trying to escape subconsciously. Gu Zijin already said seriously, “You don’t have to avoid me so deliberately. I was brusque last night. I won’t do it anymore.”
At this time, Qin Muxuan felt relaxed. Gu Zijin saw her move and a slight sense of disappointment and irony was shown in his eyes.
It was like a few days ago. Qin Muxuan walked slowly out of the garage after Gu Zijin left. After all, the relationship between two people couldn’t be discovered by others. She must be more careful when she was with Gu Zijin.
“Qin Muxuan!”
Hearing that someone was calling her, Qin Muxuan looked in the direction of the sound. Chu Feng waved to her with one hand in the pocket of his suit trousers. His handsome features made people feel like bathing in the spring breeze.
Qin Muxuan was temporarily in a daze. She actually saw the shadow of that person from Chu Feng for a moment. The man she never dared to face…
Fortunately, it was just a moment of being dazed. Qin Muxuan came to her senses immediately.
“What are you doing here?”
Chu Feng raised the car key in the hand.
“I am parking the car. Let’s go up together since we have met.”
“OK.”
The two people walked toward the elevator side by side. When the door of the elevator opened, they just met Gu Zijin, who had gone and returned. Chu Feng hurriedly said, “President Gu.”
Qin Muxuan stood behind Chu Feng and stepped out of the way. She thought he must have left something in the car. Gu Zijin nodded his head slightly and kept looking at Qin Muxuan. Ho, she only knew a new man for a few days and then hid behind him? Gu Zijin pursed his lips and suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, striding toward Bentley.
Chu Feng trembled,
“Qin Muxuan, did you see? It seemed that President Gu wanted to eat me when he was looking at me.”
Qin Muxuan smiled embarrassedly.
“Perhaps his eyes are just like that. You will be fine when you get used to it.”
The day before, Qin Muxuan had almost completed the handover. Now she just needed to improve the design draft and make it more perfect. Chu Feng sat in the opposite chair and his eyes inadvertently fell on Qin Muxuan. He couldn’t help but look at her more. Qin Muxuan was very good-looking. Her watery eyes were tantalizing when she looked around. Her skin was porcelain-white, her nose was fine and her lips were thin.
Chu Feng claimed to have seen many beautiful women, but he rarely saw such a beauty.
“Chu Feng, is there anything on my face?”
Qin Muxuan raised her head in confusion. She felt that Chu Feng seemed to be looking at her, so she couldn’t help but ask. Chu Feng touched his nose embarrassedly.
“No, nothing.”
Qin Muxuan said “Oh”, and Lisa knocked on the door outside at this time.
“Miss Qin, President is looking for you.”
“Huh? What does he want with me?”
Qin Muxuan frowned. The project was not a big one. Gu Zijin shouldn’t personally pay attention to it, should he? Lisa wore a professional smile.
“I also don’t know what President wants you to do. Miss Qin, you’d better go first.”
“Well. Chu Feng, help me with the signature of the design drawing.
With that, Qin Muxuan took off her glasses and went out. Lisa was walking ahead. Qin Muxuan looked at Lisa and knew from her appearance and dressing that Lisa was an able woman. When the assistant of Gu Zijin faced his cold face all day, how strong should her mental endurance be?
They got on the president’s private elevator. Qin Muxuan was a little flattered. She thought Lisa would take her to the staff elevator. Lisa noticed Qin Muxuan’s doubt and said, “This is permitted by President.”
“Did he look for me because there was something wrong with the design drawing or something wrong with the plan?”
Lisa shook her head. Just now, Gu Zijin only told her to bring Qin Muxuan up, and said nothing else. Qin Muxuan curled her lips in disappointment. Gu Zijin, who was a beast in human attire, would not ask her to go up and talk about anything else now, would he? They were in the office now. Thinking of what Gu Zijin did to her last night and the sudden appearance of Mrs. Gu, Qin Muxuan’s ears blushed a little.
The President’s office was on the 21st floor. Qin Muxuan stepped out of the elevator and almost all the people she met there were senior managers of Gu Group. Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but become timid. Before, she faced Gu Zijin alone and that already gave her great pressure, but now she faced so many senior managers. Lisa noticed Qin Muxuan’s nervousness and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Qin. President is not a bad guy. He is gentle to others.”
Gentle? Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but roll her eyes secretly. If such a man could be called a gentle man, were there any ungentle men in the world?
When they stopped at the innermost door, Lisa knocked.
“President, here she is.”
“Well, let her come in alone.”
It was Gu Zijin’s voice. Qin Muxuan had to press the handle and go in. The President’s office was spacious and bright, with large French windows overlooking half of the city. Gu Zijin was sitting in the chair to rest his mind with closed eyes. His angular features were as beautiful as if they had been made by God, and his thin lips showed a little meanness.
“President Gu, why are you looking for me?”
Gu Zijin opened his eyes and his black eyes were full of gloom.
“How’s the work going on?”
Naturally, Qin Muxuan wouldn’t believe Gu Zijin would care about her work as a small staff member, but she gave an appropriate reply, “It’s almost done. When the design drawing is finished, the project can begin.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Gu Zijin folded his hands, “Well, how do you think about going to the amusement park on the weekend? As far as I know, you may have to visit the construction site at that time.”
Qin Muxuan remembered it after Gu Zijin reminded her. She almost forgot. She had promised to take Xiaobai to the amusement park, and she couldn’t bear seeing Qin Xiaobai disappointed. After thinking for a while, she said,
“I will go to the construction site early. You don’t need to send me back tomorrow. I will work overtime to finish the work.”
The first half sentence was still pleasant to the ears, but the second half made Gu Zijin frown immediately.
“I can wait for you.”
“No need…”
“It’s not safe to take a taxi home at midnight. What’s more, I know that you don’t have any relatives or friends around, so you can only sleep in the office. I don’t want to be regarded as a boss who is mean to the staff.”
After listening to what he said, Qin Muxuan couldn’t find a mistake. On the contrary, she felt she had to thank Gu Zijin. She pursed her lips slightly, “Then I will trouble you at that time.”
Gu Zijin stoop up and glanced at the time, “It’s almost time to have lunch. We’ll take it here.”
Qin Muxuan was about to refuse, but Gu Zijin already asked Lisa to prepare. Qin Muxuan felt that several black lines appeared on her forehead at once. What were the tricks that Gu Zijin played in the heart after all?
