Chapter 84: What’s The Point in Finding Her?
Qin Muxuan and Yin Youting both trembled while the former looked at the man who was walking toward her with a shocked look. Gu Zijin walked out from the Black Bentley with a large black umbrella in his hand, with a strong sense of coldness and alienation. Meanwhile, his eyes had been fixed on Qin Muxuan the whole time.
Qin Muxuan left Yin Youting without any hesitation and ran over to Gu Zijin in the rain to hug the latter. Gu Zijin who didn’t expect that showed an astonished look in his eyes. The next second, he recovered from the abnormal state and held Qin Muxuanin in one of his arms, saying in a gentle voice,
“What happened?”
Qin Muxuan didn’t say anything. These days when he left, she missed him so much and now all those emotions turned into great grievances. Just now when she waited for Uncle Chen by the gate of the company building, she never felt aggrieved even if it had been raining cats and dogs. However, the moment she saw Gu Zijin, she just let all her guard down and vented all her grievances.
Seeing that, Yin Youting only felt a sharp pain in his eyes. Then he walked back to his car with large strides, forcing himself not to look at the man and woman who were hugging each other in the rain.
Yin Tiancheng who was in the car sneered,
“So, that’s the woman whom you are willing to protect at the cost of sacrificing your beloved career. She’s no longer the lady of the Qin family whom she used to be five years ago, so she’s of no use to you now. If you still bother her, you’ll only make a great enemy for yourself.”
Yin Youting, eyes totally red, turned around to look at Yin Tiancheng and said in a hoarse voice,
“So, you never tried to help me find Xuan at that time, right? You have already tracked her down at that time, but you didn’t tell me about it because the Qin family already went bankrupt!”
Hearing his son exposing his secret, Yin Tiancheng didn’t show any sign of regret and only said,
“She was already pregnant at that time. What’s the point in finding her!”
Yin Youting said with his fists clenched tightly,
“Father, do you know that you’ve made me lose the only person I want to protect in my life?”
While speaking that, Yin Youting showed a painful look as if he had been thrown into an abyss of despair. Yin Tiancheng looked at him with a displeased look and said with a frown,
“The one who’s immersed in love would achieve nothing! Even if you forced Qin Muxuan to abort that child, would she agree with you? Will you be happy to raise another man’s child?”
Yin Youting closed his eyes without saying anything. It was too late to regret the past. Even if he took out his heart to show Qin Muxuan how much he loved her, she still wouldn’t even take a glance at him. He knew Qin Muxuan so well that he was well aware that as long as Qin Muxuan fell in love with a man, she would be completely devoted to that man and never pay attention to any other man.
After Qin Muxuan hugged Gu Zijin for a while, she finally calmed down and then got into the car. Gu Zijin, having glanced at Qin Muxuan, turned on the heater and said tenderly,
“Why didn’t Uncle Chen come to pick you up?”
Qin Muxuan got dazed at first and then looked at Gu Zijin with a confused look,
“Didn’t you tell Uncle Chen not to pick me up because you wanted to pick me up by yourself?”
She didn’t give too much thought to Gu Zijin’s arrival and automatically assumed that Gu Zijin wanted to give her a surprise, so he came to the company by himself and told Uncle Chen not to come. Gu Zijin lowered his head and thought of something before giving a nod. Then Qin Muxuan looked at Gu Zijin doubtfully, saying,
“Aren’t you supposed to be away for a week? This is only the third day since you left.”
Gu Zijin showed a charming smile and answered,
“When my backyard is on fire, you think I would feel at ease staying outside?”
Qin Muxuan was speechless and remembered that she told him about the roses yesterday. Then she couldn’t help but chuckle. ‘Did he get jealous? Why does a tall man like him look so cute when he gets jealous? So he has flown back from a foreign country for me?’ Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but get a bit touched.
When they arrived at the Gu’s house, it was already nine o’clock at night. As Qin Muxuan got off the car, she saw all the lights had been out in the living room. Gu Zijin turned around to look at her and asked,
“Are you hungry?”
“I’ll heat the leftover then.”
She hadn’t eaten anything yet because she had wanted to have dinner with Xiaobai. After Qin Muxuan walked into the kitchen, she turned on the light. However, as she was about to take out the leftover from the fridge, Gu Zijin close the refrigerator door and said,
“I’ll cook for you.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan could only give up the idea of heating those cold dishes and turned around to help him cut up vegetables. In the warm yellow light, Gu Zijin looked gentle and charming, and Qin Muxuan couldn’t help glancing at him from time to time.
Gu Zijin caught her glance and said with the corner of his mouth raised,
“What, it has only been two days since you saw me, and you already couldn’t help fixing your eyes on me?”
Qin Muxuan blushed right away and said “I am not” in a low voice. Then she walked out of the kitchen.
When Gu Zijin finished cooking, Qin Muxuan was already extremely starved. Thus she got a great appetite when seeing those dishes. Elderly Lady Gu had a light sleep, given her age, so she had already woken up when Gu Zijin arrived home. When she saw what was happening in the living room, she showed a sullen look in her eyes at once.
Nanny Chen who stood beside her couldn’t help but say,
“My lady, isn’t it a good thing if Young Master could be with Miss Qin?”
“A good thing? Humph! She doesn’t deserve Zijin! Nanny Chen, I need to meet with Yuxiao tomorrow.”
Nanny Chen could only agree to that. Meanwhile, a fierce look crossed the face of Elderly Lady Gu. She had already said before that if Qin Muxuan dared to seduce Gu Zijin again, she would definitely get rid of this girl in her own way. However, it seemed that Qin Muxuan had turned a deaf ear to those words the whole time. ‘I have to do something to prevent Zijin from sinking deeper and deeper into this error, even if this is not for Xiaobai, but for Zijin.’ She thought.
The next day, Qin Muxuan received a phone call from Lisa. With a confused look crossing her face, she couldn’t help but wonder why Lisa would contact her outside office hours and whether there was something wrong.
Before Qin Muxuan could ask anything, Lisa spoke first,
“Miss Qin, there will be an international design contest next month. Are you interested in participating?”
“International design contest?”
Qin Muxuan was a bit intrigued. To attend such a contest, the attenders should not only submit excellent design works, but also be the famous and outstanding designers already. One could only be able to attend the contest after rounds of selection. Now after hearing Lisa’s question, Qin Muxuan got interested right away.
Lisa answered yes and then gave some instructions to Qin Muxuan. After that, she sent the latter an email. Qin Muxuan wondered if Gu Zijin had helped with this since she was not famous enough to attend a high-level contest like this.
Then, with a smile on Qin Muxuan’s face, she checked the requirements for the entry and then contacted Qin Feng to inform him that she would go over to take a few professional books.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Suddenly, the sound of someone parking the car came through from outside. Qin Muxuan looked at the time and found it was only twelve o’clock at noon. Under no circumstances would Gu Zijin return so early. As she was still wondering this, she saw a familiar face that she hadn’t seen for a long while. It was Yan Yuxiao.
Right now, Qin Muxuan had already let her guard down when seeing Yan Yuxiao. However, she suddenly realized that it had been a long time since Yan Yuxiao contacted her. These days, Qin Muxuan had been busy with her own business and never contacted Yan Yuxiao on her own initiative.
