Chapter 58: There Is a Limit to My Patience
In the middle of Gu Zijin’s speech, Qin Muxuan slipped away to go to the bathroom. Although she didn’t know why Gu Zijin had shown up here, she was pretty sure this was not an accident. Also, when he was talking there, his cold eyes were fixed on her the whole time. If she still stood there, she was afraid that she would be killed by those sharp eyes.
After she washed her hands, she looked at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath and then walked out. The light in the long hallway was a bit dim. As she took a few steps, she saw a familiar figure. The exhibition was on the fifteenth floor of this building, and she didn’t understand why Yin Youting would be there. As she was about to hide herself, Yin Youting already saw her and said,
“Xuan.”
Qin Muxuan could only look at him awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Yin Youting showed a painful look in his eyes because he noticed that Qin Muxuan had wanted to hide from him. Although it had just been five years, his former lover already regarded him as a monster and only wanted to run away from him. As he thought of that, he felt a dull pain in his heart. After pondering for a while, Qin Muxuan said,
“Mr. Yin, I need to attend the exhibition. Please excuse me.”
Yin Youting grabbed Qin Muxuan’s hand right away and then dragged her into his arms, saying in a hoarse voice,
“Xuan, I know everything. I just want you to give me another chance. I’ve been looking into the things that happened five years ago. I know that you have been…”
Speaking of that, Yin Youting thumped on the wall violently with his eyes turning red,
“Sorry that I didn’t protect you well.”
Qin Muxuan bit her lips, feeling coldness all over her body. She knew that sooner or later Yin Youting would find out about what she and Gu Zijin did that night five years ago. However, when the day finally came, she still felt scared and didn’t want to face the fact. As she remembered the cold water in the bathtub as well as the man’s violent action, she felt overwhelmed by the fear deep inside again. Then she sobbed,
“Yin Youting, stop! I don’t want to hear this!”
“Xuan, I can go back to my family and take over my family business. I can protect you! Stay with me, please!”
“Mr. Yin, I hope you can know your place. Next time if you dare to do this to my woman again, I won’t go easy on you.”
A deep voice came through. Gu Zijin forced Yin Youting and Qin Muxuan apart with his hands and held Qin Muxuan in his arms tightly. Yin Youting looked at Gu Zijin and snorted,
“I never realize a big family like yours would force a woman! Xuan is not happy in the Gu family. Gu Zijin, do you keep Xuan with you to torture her? Is it because of what happened five years ago? You are so despicable!”
As Yin Youting remembered that Qin Muxuan went to the hospital alone when she had a fever, he flew into a rage right away and tried to punch Gu Zijin. However, it was too easy for Gu Zijin who had received high-intensive physical training since his childhood to defeat someone like Yin Youting. After they fought for a short while, Gu Zijin kicked Yin Youting’s belly with his long leg, which made Yin Youting fall onto the ground and unable to get up. Qin Muxuan, heart trembling in fear, wanted to help Yin Youting up right away. However, Gu Zijin touched her ears with his lips and whispered to her,
“Qin Muxuan, there is a limit to my patience. If you dare to help him, I’ll have thousands of ways to let him die faster.”
Qin Muxuan, feeling a chill down her spine, took back her steps at last and let Gu Zijin take her away.
After they got out of the building, Qin Muxuan glared at Gu Zijin and said,
“Youting has a weak body since he was a little boy. Why did you kick him so fiercely?”
“Are you worrying about him now? Qin Muxuan, do I need to remind you again that you are Xiaobai’s mother?”
Qin Muxuan turned away her face and stopped talking with Gu Zijin. At the same time, Gu Zijin started the car engine and looked ahead, saying,
“Do not go to this kind of exhibition from now on, especially with your boss.”
Qin Muxuan inhaled slightly and restrained her anger, not saying anything.
After a while, they arrived at the Gu’s house. The moment Qin Muxuan got out of the car, Qin Xiaobai jumped to her right away, saying,
“Dabai, finally, you are back. I miss you so much. No one in the family could play with me.”
Qin Xiaobai raised his head to look at Qin Muxuan while rubbing the latter’s body like a lively puppy. At this time, the look in Gu Zijin’s eyes finally turned warmer. However, he couldn’t help but wonder what Qin Muxuan would do if he hadn’t gone to the exhibition. ‘Will she fall in love with Yin Youting again and leave with him?’ Thinking of that, he felt his mind whirling and the devil inside him gradually waking up. If Qin Muxuan really ran away with another guy, he would definitely catch her back no matter where she went. Then he would tie her up and punish her to vent his anger.
Because Qin Muxuan had left the exhibition ahead of time, Qin Feng couldn’t find her anywhere. Then he got worried and called her. Qin Muxuan said that there was something happening in her family on the phone. Hearing her excuse, Qin Feng wasn’t totally convinced, but he still didn’t ask anything and hung up the phone at last.
At dinner.
Gu Zijin stayed upstairs the whole time. Elderly Lady Gu showed a cold face the moment Qin Muxuan sat by the dinner table. Nanny Chen who had just hung up the phone stepped forward and said,
“Elderly Lady, Miss Yan is here.”
“Let her come in!”
Only then did Elderly Lady Gu change into a joyful look on her face. Yan Yuxiao was wearing a simple but elegant dress today. Seeing her coming into the room, Elderly Lady Gu called her over right away,
“You’ve worked all day long and haven’t eaten dinner yet, right? Nanny Chen, bring another set of cutlery.”
“Thanks, grandma. I came here to return Zijin’s clothes that he left at my place today.”
After she had said that, Qin Muxuan bit the tip of her tongue at once. The pain on her tongue almost made her shed tears. Luckily, she managed to bear the pain.
Yan Yuxiao chuckled and said,
“Miss Qin, please don’t get me wrong. Zijin and I only had a few meals with each other, that’s all.”
Elderly Lady Gu showed a long face and said,
“You don’t need to explain to her. Yuxiao, you are definitely going to be my granddaughter-in-law.”
Qin Xiaobai interrupted her with dissatisfaction,
“Great-grandma, what are you talking about? My mommy can only be Dabai.”
Thinking of what Gu Zijin had said to her last time, Elderly Lady Gu then said,
“Good boy, Xiaobai. I was just joking.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Qin Xiaobai snorted as a reply. After Yan Yuxiao had taken a few bites of the dishes, she went upstairs straightly. Qin Muxuan felt a sharp pain in her heart. ‘Gu Zijin, just now you flew into a rage because of Yin Youting and me, but didn’t you have a great time with Yan Yuxiao a few days ago? You have no right to control me! Why do you forbid me to do the things that you can do freely?’ The very thought depressed Qin Muxuan a lot. Then she took out her phone to browse the news. These days she had buried herself into her work and barely checked her phone.
The moment she opened the headline news, she saw the intimate photos of Yan Yuxiao and Gu Zijin…
