Chapter 80: Get Lost
The office was enveloped by the sunset glow. Qin Muxuan assumed that Gu Zijin must have already arrived in Country C and wanted to give him a call. However, as she checked the call records on her phone, she saw the number that she had hung up on. Then the look on her face turned rigid at once. ‘Why did I hang up on Gu Zijin?”
Thinking of the cold eyes of Gu Zijin, she couldn’t help but get a chill down her spine. After taking a deep breath, she hesitated for a long while and still dialed his number. To her surprise, he answered the call very quickly. Qin Muxuan, feeling a sense of relief, said,
“Hello.”
“What’s up? I guess I’m a real estate agent this time, huh?”
Hearing the sullen voice of Gu Zijin, Qin Muxuan stroked her chest and said gingerly,
“Eh… I didn’t check the number at noon, I didn’t know it was you… Have you arrived yet?”
After he heard those words, he finally stopped frowning and his cooperative partner also let out a sigh of relief. Before, this cooperative partner had thought that their cooperation would be aborted when seeing the look on Gu Zijin’s face. As Gu Zijin was talking on the phone, the people behind him didn’t even dare to breathe. After all, Gu Zijin was finally in a good mood after pulling a long face all the time. No one dared to ruin his mood right now since they didn’t want to get fired.
‘But who’s the one that changed that cold man’s mood?’ The cooperative partner couldn’t help but get curious.
Gu Zijin looked at the time and said,
“Yes, I arrived here three hours, seventeen minutes and eight seconds ago.”
Qin Muxuan blushed, thinking ‘Does he have to be that specific?’ Now she really felt a bit guilty. The moment Gu Zijin got off the plane, he called her and she didn’t answer his call in time. Qin Muxuan disdained herself secretly and then said in a soft voice,
“You have to eat regularly even if you have jet lag, OK? By the way, have you brought the stomach medicine with you?”
He found her detailed instruction very pleasing to hear and didn’t get impatient at all,
“Yes, I have.”

…
After they chatted for a while, Qin Muxuan hung up the phone. As she stared at the screen of her phone with strange emotion, she gave a wry smile while sneering at herself, ‘It’s only been a few hours since he left, and I already missed him.’ Thinking of Gu Zijin’s handsome face, Qin Muxuan bit her lips and shook her head. Then she said to herself that she was behaving so abnormally only because she had seen Gu Zijin so frequently these days. Otherwise why did Gu Zijin’s face keep showing up in her brain?
On the other side, after Gu Zijin hung up the phone, he showed a tender look in his cold eyes and said to his cooperative partner,
“Tell me about the related terms about our cooperation again.”
That man agreed right away and explained the details to Gu Zijin. Meanwhile, he was afraid that Gu Zijin might get impatient, so he gave a brief summary at last.
At night.
Uncle Chen came to pick Qin Muxuan up on time. Qin Xiaobai who had finished shooting already sat on the back seat. As he saw Qin Muxuan, his eyes sparkled,
“Dabai, are you tired today?”
Qin Muxuan pinched Qin Xiaobai’s tender face and said softly,
“I’m not tired at all. What about you?”
Qin Xiaobai shook his head tamely and took out a few photos of him with a few super stars from his backpack. Then he tried to show Qin Muxuan his “achievement” right away,
“Dabai, these are all the stars you like. I got their photos and signatures for you.”
The look in Qin Muxuan’s eyes showed that she was a bit touched by the boy. Then she took the photos and kissed on Xiaobai’s cheek. Xiaobai held Qin Muxuan’s arm while thinking that since Gu Zijin was away for a week, no one would take Qin Muxuan away from him. Then Xiaobai couldn’t help but get cheerful. After they arrived at the Gu’s house, Qin Xiaobai stuck to Qin Muxuan like glue on the pretext that she hadn’t slept with him for too long. Qin Muxuan had no choice but to sleep with him that night.
Qin Muxuan fell asleep quickly since she had been busy the whole day. Qin Xiaobai sat on the bed and leafed through his fairy tale book. Hearing the vibrating sound of Qin Muxuan’s phone, Qin Xiaobai was afraid that Qin Muxuan might be woken up. Then he picked up her phone and slipped out of the room secretly. It was a video call from Gu Zijin. Qin Xiaobai sat on the ground and held the phone with his chubby hands,
“Daddy, don’t call Dabai at night. She is already asleep.”
Seeing the plump face of the boy on the screen, Gu Zijin twitched his mouth and said,
“Give the phone to Dabai.”
Qin Xiaobai smacked his lips, saying,
“I’ve told you that she is already asleep. Daddy, you can not wake mommy up. If you want to chat with someone, just chat with me.”
Gu Zijin, with a sullen look on his face, thought, ‘Is this boy really my son?’ Gu Zijin had wanted to ask about Qin Muxuan’s condition today. As for what he could say to his son, he really hadn’t given too much thought. Then, Gu Zijin showed a relaxed smile on his face, saying,
“Well, Xiaobai, help me check Dabai’s call records.”
Qin Xiaobai got a bit dazed, not knowing why Gu Zijin had asked him to do that. Still, Qin Xiaobai opened the recent contacts on Qin Muxuan’s phone. The next second, Qin Xiaobai got jealous immediately and muttered,
“Daddy, you are not a good boy. Dabai only talked with you on the phone lately. She never called me.”
Qin Xiaobai looked at the call history of Qin Muxuan with an aggrieved look while curling his lips. ‘Dabai was lying to me when she said she liked me most. Now that she has daddy, I am not the most important one to her.’ In the meantime, Gu Zijin was very satisfied to hear Qin Xiaobai’s response. He just wanted to know if Qin Muxuan had contacted other men lately. Never did he expect that he was the only one she had contacted these days. Luckily for Qin Muxuan, there were no other men she had been calling, otherwise Gu Zijin would definitely grill her when he went back.
Meanwhile, Qin Muxuan had already heard the sound outside the door. She wasn’t in a deep sleep anyway, so she opened her eyes and walked outside.
“Xiaobai, why are you sitting on the ground?”
Qin Xiaobai turned off the video call instantly and hid her phone behind his back, saying,
“It’s comfortable here. Dabai, you should go back to sleep. I’ll come with you.”
Qin Muxuan bent down to hold Qin Xiaobai up with a gentle smile and said,
“Fine.”
Qin Xiaobai deleted the call history he had with Gu Zijin just now. ‘Humph, daddy has occupied too much of Dabai’s time. It doesn’t matter if I hide this from Dabai.’ He thought.
On the other side, the moment Gu Zijin saw Qin Muxuan appearing on screen, the call ended right away. Gu Zijin compressed his thin lips and decided to teach Xiaobai a lesson when he went back home. After he put his phone aside, he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door. Then he frowned displeasedly. It was already very late, and he didn’t know who would come to him at this hour. After walking over to open the door, he saw a woman with a shapely figure standing there. She lowered her head shyly and said,
“President Gu, President Ye told me to come here…”
Gu Zijin, with a frown, said in a cold voice,
“Get lost.”
The woman got dazed and thought that she had misheard his words. She had an excellent appearance and figure. What was more, no man was able to look away when they saw her in this outfit. With a sense of frustration, she looked at the wealthy and handsome man in front of her and made up her mind. Suddenly, she hugged Gu Zijin tightly.
