Chapter 57: Stunner
The message was sent to her at twelve o’clock at midnight yesterday. Qin Muxuan, with a cold look in her eyes, deleted that message. Yin Youting was the last person in this world she wanted to contact.
What was more, the affection she had for Yin Youting had already faded away during the past five years. Therefore, she didn’t want to give a false impression to Yin Youting that she still liked him because she believed that the best thing she could do to Yin Youting was completely ending their relationship.
Right at this moment, her cell phone rang. After Qin Muxuan picked up the phone, she heard Qin Feng’s soft voice,
“There’s an exhibition this afternoon. Are you interested in going with me? Some famous designers would be there and discuss their design philosophy.”
Hearing the second half of his words, Qin Muxuan was intrigued. Since there were no other things for her to do, she then agreed to go right away. Qin Xiaobai dragged the hem of her clothes and said,
“Dabai, aren’t you going to rest at home today?”
“I have something to do later and have to go out. Xiaobai, be a good boy at home. You can only play games after you finish your homework.”
Qin Xiaobai nodded tamely. Although he stuck to Qin Muxuan like glue at ordinary times, he knew exactly when he should leave his mother alone. While Qin Muxuan was rubbing Qin Xiaobai’s head, the latter grabbed her hand and asked,
“Dabai, can you bring me candies?”
“No problem.”
The moment Gu Zijin came out of the study, he saw Qin Muxuan who was trying to knock on the door. As they looked at each other, Qin Muxuan said first,
“I’ll attend an exhibition with the boss of my firm, so I won’t be home this afternoon.”
“Boss of your firm? A man or a woman?”
Gu Zijin asked that in an interrogative tone with his eyebrows knitted. Qin Muxuan then replied honestly,
“A man.”
“You can’t go.”
Gu Zijin said that firmly at once. Qin Muxuan was irritated right away, saying,
“Gu Zijin! I am not a stunner that everyone likes! Do you think every man would fall in love with me?”
Gu Zijin approached her, giving her a lot of pressure with his tall figure, and then said,
“I don’t worry that you will attract others. I’m just afraid that you will be so thirsty and chase any man you see.”
“Gu Zijin, you!”
Qin Muxuan flushed with anger. Then she pushed Gu Zijin and walked away. In the evening, when Gu Zijin was sitting on the couch reading the business news, he saw Qin Muxuan who had already changed into a business suit preparing to leave. With his eyebrows knitted, he thought, ‘This woman really doesn’t take my words seriously.’
As Nanny Chen saw Gu Zijin got out of the house right after Qin Muxuan left, she couldn’t help but get a bit surprised. She wondered if Gu Zijin had done something that irritated Qin Muxuan and now he was chasing her to apologize.
After Qin Muxuan arrived at the site of the exhibition, she took a deep breath and contacted Qin Feng. Then she walked in the building.
This was a very rare chance for her to communicate with the masters.
The moment she entered the hall, she saw Qin Feng right away. Right now he was surrounded by lots of people, who clearly all wanted to strike up a conversation with this famous designer.
Seeing Qin Muxuan’s outfit, Qin Feng showed a vague smile on his face. He didn’t know why Qin Muxuan always gave him a pleasant feeling that other women around him couldn’t.
“Excuse me, my partner is here.”
Qin Feng interrupted the person beside him and walked toward Qin Muxuan. Seeing the women around her all wearing formal long dress, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but say in a low voice,
“Mr. Qin, did I dress inappropriately?”
“No.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan finally got a bit relieved. After that, Qin Feng brought a glass of fruit wine to Qin Muxuan like all the gentlemen would do and said,
“Although this is an exhibition, it is also a private party. Sorry that I haven’t explained to you clearly on the phone.”
It would be better if he hadn’t specified that. Now Qin Muxuan only felt that she had been fooled.
Before she came here, she had planned to communicate with those masters and ask them the questions she always wanted to. However, if this was a private party, her plan wouldn’t work at all since she might not able to get close to those masters.
Qin Feng saw the disappointed look on Qin Muxuan’s face and said slowly,
“I can use my connections to get you to talk with those famous designers.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan finally showed a glimmer of smile in her eyes with the corner of her mouth curled,
“Thanks, Mr. Qin.”
“Call me Qin Feng. You don’t have to be restrained.”
At the door of the exhibition.
After Gu Zijin rolled down the car window, he found the name of the exhibition a bit familiar. Then he remembered that he seemed to ask Lisa to decline the invitation to this exhibition.
Now it looked like it was quite necessary for him to attend this activity, otherwise Qin Muxuan, this innocent rabbit, would be targeted by another man without realizing it.
As the exhibition officially started, the clear voice of the host came through from the microphone,
“We have a big surprise in this exhibition. A gentleman whom we thought wouldn’t come today just changed his schedule and arrived.”
The host drawled on purpose to draw others’ attention,
“I think you have all heard of this gentleman’s name. Please welcome, Mr. Gu!”
The crowd burst into thunderous applause in no time. Meanwhile Qin Muxuan only listened to the host in a trance. Mr. Gu?
Gu Zijin’s last name was Gu.
What was more, only one family in City A had the last name Gu. Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan felt perturbed right away.
When Gu Zijin pointed out the mistake on her drawings at first glance and was able to solve her problems easily, she had only assumed it was because of his profound learning.
She never realized that he was also the best performer in the design industry.
He had too many strong points indeed. However, when compared with the title of the president of the Gu Group, those points might seem a bit inferior.
As she had expected, Gu Zijin walked out from backstage, looking still gorgeous and graceful with an imposing manner. Qin Feng sensed that there was something wrong with Qin Muxuan, asking,
“What happened? You seem a bit uncomfortable.”
“Nothing, just a bit shocked.”
Qin Feng didn’t feel anything wrong about her answer and said,This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Gu Zijin used to be my senior in college, but he seldom showed up in school. His design and study were the best at that time and everyone knows he’s an impeccable man. The professors in our school are still inspiring their students with Gu Zijin’s nickname, which is ‘God of Wisdom’.”
Qin Muxuan was astonished to hear that nickname.
Suddenly, she was self-abased. Now she found that Gu Zijin had always been a superior man since his childhood.
Perhaps the only stain on his life was being set up by Qin Family and having sex with her. Qin Muxuan kept a distance from Qin Feng subconsciously in case Gu Zijin would see them together.
However, what she didn’t know was that Gu Zijin had already seen her and Qin Feng right after getting on the stage.
Although Qin Muxuan and Qin Feng weren’t holding hands or doing anything, Gu Zijin still felt that they were standing too close. With the look in his eyes turning gloomy, Gu Zijin thought, ‘It seems I need to teach her what she can do and what she can’t when we get back.’
The host, having felt the unhappy mood of Gu Zijin, said gingerly,
“President Gu, you can give your speech now.”
Gu Zijin who was totally familiar with an occasion like this made a polished speech without thinking, which made the women under the stage crazy about him.
Those women heard about this young president of the Gu Group as well as his handsome look long ago. They also knew that he hadn’t had any lover over these years and was only rumored to have an affair with a B-list star lately.
