Chapter 50: Do Not Play Tricks
When Yan Yuxiao saw Gu Zijin’s car coming out from the underground parking lot, she stepped out of her van right away. Gu Zijin stopped the car and glanced at Yan Yuxiao coldly, saying,
“Get in.”
Although his tone sounded indifferent, Yan Yuxiao still had the confidence that she could change Gu Zijin’s prejudice toward her and replace Qin Muxuan in his heart. ‘That Qin Muxuan has a flat chest and buttocks. If she wasn’t pregnant with Zijin’s child, Zijin would never treat her like this.’
Thinking of that, Yan Yuxiao felt her heart being twined by a poisonous snake which kept hissing. Suddenly, the black Bentley rushed out at a high speed. Yan Yuxiao didn’t have time to react and only shouted with her face turning pale,
“Zijin!”
Gu Zijin, with his black eyes covered with icy coldness, gave a sarcastic smile,
“Didn’t you ask for this from grandma? Now you are afraid?”
The car ran at the top speed for a long time. Even after Yan Yuxiao got out of the car, she still felt her body not belonging to herself and was at a total loss. After Gu Zijin stopped the car outside the Xingyue Restaurant, Yan Yuxiao held onto the car door to step out of the car. Nonetheless, Gu Zijin only walked ahead of her and locked the car, not planning to wait for her. Yan Yuxiao glimpsed at the paparazzi in the corner and smiled. She didn’t care how Gu Zijin treated her, as long as her plan worked.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Then she, teeth gritted, sprained her ankle and fell onto the ground. With a cracking sound from her bones, she felt her wound that had been caused by the hanging wire incident also hurt a lot. After that, she called Gu Zijin, her pretty eyes filled with tears,
“Zijin.”
Gu Zijin turned around and paused. He glanced at Yan Yuxiao whose face already turned pale due to the pain. Right now, Yan Yuxiao was full of anticipation because she believed that Gu Zijin would come over to her and hold her up since that should be any man’s normal reaction. However, Gu Zijin took out his phone with an unconcerned look on his face and slowly dialed a number. After Yan Yuxiao saw what that number was, she showed a flustered expression right away. If Gu Zijin called an ambulance here and distanced himself from her, her plan would be ruined. Also, she had endured the high speed of the car all the way here and sprained her ankle, so she couldn’t let those sacrifices mean nothing.
Thinking of that, Yan Yuxiao struggled to stand up immediately. After that, she walked toward Gu Zijin in a steady way while bearing the pain at her feet and said to him with a reluctant smile,
“Zijin, I’m fine. You don’t need to call the ambulance.”
Gu Zijin shot her a cold glance while saying,
“Do not play tricks in front of me.”
His gaze sent a chill down her spine. After he hung up the phone, he saw a call coming in from Qin Muxuan. With the look in his cold eyes turning a bit tender, he answered the call,
“What’s up?”
Qin Muxuan who had just received an order was making a design of a house layout for a small family. She held the phone in one hand while using the other hand to draw on the paper with a pencil, saying,
“Gu Zijin, I got nothing to do at home so I asked professor He to find me a part-time job.”
“OK.”
“When will you come back? There’s something I don’t understand and I’d like your advice.”
Gu Zijin pondered for a while and said,
“Soon. If I come home late, you can circle the places your don’t understand on your drawing paper and leave it on my desk.”
“You are going to work overtime today?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll stop bothering you then. Bye.”
After Gu Zijin hung up the phone, the look on his face turned solemn again. Yan Yuxiao had already seen Qin Muxuan’s name on his phone screen. She couldn’t believe the relationship between those two people had developed so fast these two months and was unwilling to accept that. However, since she didn’t have the guts to speak out what was on her mind, she still followed Gu Zijin upstairs with a limp to have dinner. In the meantime, Gu Zijin had no intention to hold her up. There were several times she tried to touch Gu Zijin’s hand but finally retracted her hand under his indifferent gaze.
Basically all the dishes on the table were ordered by Yan Yuxiao since Gu Zijin was quite unconcerned. After Yan Yuxiao finished checking the menu, she passed the menu to him with a forced smile on her face, saying,
“Zijin, what do you want to eat?”
“Whatever.”
Yan Yuxiao took back her hand awkwardly. The waitress beside them who got used to seeing a girl clinging to a man couldn’t help but titter. Yan Yuxiao glared at the waitress ferociously, thinking, ‘Your are just a waitress. How dare you laugh at me?’
The waitress got a bit scared being glowered at by Yan Yuxiao and stopped laughing right away. Yan Yuxiao snorted,
“We’ve done. You can have your menu back.”
The waitress stepped forward gingerly. Right at this moment, Yan Yuxiao, with a vicious look flashing in her eyes, pretended that she spilled the hot water on the waitress’s body by accident. The waitress who got scalded by the water couldn’t help but scream. Then Yan Yuxiao said innocently,
“Why were you so careless? You shouldn’t have grabbed the menu in a hurry.”
Hearing her words, the waitress felt weepy and walked away with the menu immediately. Yan Yuxiao then looked to Gu Zijin, saying,
“Zijin, what a sloppy waitress. If she wasn’t so reckless, I would still have my water in the cup.”
Gu Zijin didn’t say anything. During the whole time, Yan Yuxiao kept babbling while he remained silent. After the meal, Gu Zijin handed his credit card to the staff at the front desk to pay the bill and then left by himself. Yan Yuxiao grabbed his hand anxiously and said,
“Zijin, you are not going to bring me with you?”
“My grandma only told me to date with you. Now our date is over. Yan Yuxiao, you need to be self-aware.”
After Gu Zijin had left the restaurant, he headed straightly to the Gu’s house.
There was only one light on in the living room. In the warm light, Qin Muxuan had already slept on the dinner table with her drawings in front of her. Gu Zijin felt his heart overflowing with tenderness. Nanny Chen happened to bring a blanket to the living room. Seeing Gu Zijin coming back, she said in a low voice,
“Miss Qin has been making the drawings for a whole afternoon. I didn’t realize she had fallen asleep when drawing. We have left some dishes for you on the table. Don’t forget to eat.”
“Fine. Give me the blanket, Nanny Chen.”
“OK.”
Gu Zijin took the blanket and walked toward Qin Muxuan. There were a few pencil marks on her face, which made her look like a little cat. Gu Zijin put the blanket on Qin Muxuan and then bent over to lift her up. Qin Muxuan moved her body idly to a comfortable position and kept sleeping. This girl who lacked vigilance had no idea that she had been held up. Gu Zijin slowed down and walked upstairs.
After that, he went downstairs to eat. While he was eating, he browsed the drawings that Qin Muxuan had made. Clearly, she spent lots of efforts on those drawings and the things she had learned during the past few days made her more precise on the layout and the design. Gu Zijin recognized the questions Qin Muxuan had said at the first glance of the paper. Then he started to write some annotations beside her drawings.
Elsewhere, Yan Yuxiao tried to call Elderly Lady Gu to complain about what Gu Zijin had done to her today. However, Elderly Lady Gu had already slept and Nanny Chen was the one answering the call. Nanny Chen who worried about Elderly Lady Gu’s condition refused to let Yan Yuxiao talk to Elderly Lady Gu. As a result, Yan Yuxiao was discouraged and could only throw the phone on the seat of her van, with an indignant look in her eyes.
