Chapter 183: The Problem Needed to be Settled
The man’s hug and his heavy breath rubbing her neck made Qin Muxuan quiver. Qin Xiaobai covered his eyes.
‘Alas…’
‘When do they become so close?’
Qin Muxuan patted Gu Zijin’s hands. His voice was so tender and attractive that the wall in her heart fell apart all of a sudden.
When she got into danger, Gu Zijin would tell her that he was by her side.
She grinned unconsciously.
“I know.”
…
Elderly Lady Gu had invited Yan Yuxiao’s parents to discuss the details of the engagement. Though they had chatted before, they only made a verbal promise.
Things were escalating online, but they didn’t make a final decision.
The old lady stroked Yan Yuxiao’s hands, “I like your daughter. I might regret if we don’t decide which date is their wedding day.”
Mr. Yan and his wife chuckled, “Well, my daughter is obedient since she was a child! In fact, the date is up to you. Just inform us of it. We are okay with that.”
“No, we are going to be a family. We need your opinion, otherwise Yuxiao will be distressed.”
Elderly Lady Gu looked at Yan Yuxiao amiably.
“Thank you, grandma.”
“Is the end of next month all right? I’ve studied the date. The date’s suitable for weddings. Also, no need to hurry. We can make full preparation.”
Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan echoed, “It’s good, but…”
They were embarrassed.
“What?”
“I’ve heard that Gu Zijin’s with that woman. If he doesn’t come back, how can they hold the engagement party?”
Mr. Yan sighed, staring at his daughter worriedly.
Elderly Lady Gu snorted, ‘Hearing that name, I’m outraged. I don’t know why Zijin’s obsessed with her.’
“Don’t worry. I will deal with that. The wedding will be held as we have promised.”
Mr. Yan and his wife turned to Yan Yuxiao. After Yan Yuxiao nodded, they also consented.
‘Our daughter knows what she wants. If she agrees, we won’t disagree.’
…
Lately, Gu Zijin often received calls from his grandma. He ignored all of them. When he was on the edge of weariness, he picked up the phone.
“Hello.”
“It’s hard to get in touch with you. You finally answer my call.”
Without patience, Gu Zijin uttered, “If you call me for a chitchat, I will hang up the phone.”
“How dare you!” Elderly Lady Gu snorted, “We’ve set a date for your wedding. It’s at the end of next month. Come back before that day.”
“I have no time.”
Gu Zijin casually said four words. He was living a joyful life with Qin Muxuan here. Why should he go back?
“Don’t regret.” It seemed that the old lady altered her strategy. She threatened, “You can stay there, but that doesn’t mean Qin Muxuan will stay abroad all the time.”
“After we announce the date of your wedding, do you think she won’t be affected?”
Gu Zijin realized that Qin Muxuan was emotional because of pregnancy. She shouldn’t be agitated.
“What do you want to do, grandma?”
“You wanna cancel your wedding, right? I agree, but you should come back first.”
Elderly Lady Gu hung up the phone. This was her tactic, and Gu Zijin understood what she meant.
‘It’s a lie. She intends to coax me into engagement when I go back.’
‘Grandma really underestimates me.’
‘But she’s right. If I want to live a peaceful life with Muxuan, I need to confront the challenge in China. I shouldn’t escape all the time.’
Noticing his father looked gloomy, Qin Xiaobai sat beside the man.
“What’s up? How about your mom?”
“Dabai has gone to bed. Since she had my sister, she has slept all day.”
Gu Zijin smiled, “Well, let her have a good rest.”
“Why are you upset?”
“It’s about the adults.” Gu Zijin cocked his head to one side.
Qin Xiaobai pouted, “Oh, I hate that. Actually, I know everything.”
“What do you think of going back to China with Dabai?”
“Ah.” Qin Xiaobai exclaimed, ‘Though I’ve done my shooting, we have just gone abroad…’
It seemed that Gu Zijin saw his son through, and he continued, “Most of my business is in China. If you live abroad for a long time, I won’t be able to take care of you.”
Qin Xiaobai nodded his head thoughtfully.
“But this time, I will make it clear to everyone that Qin Muxuan’s the woman I intend to marry.”
Hearing Gu Zijin’s promise, Qin Xiaobai thought his father was not joking. Moreover, the kid missed his motherland.
“Okay, I will help you to persuade Dabai!”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes!”
When Qin Muxuan opened her eyes, it was about four o’clock in the afternoon. She could feel lethargy overtaking her.
She was about to sit up, finding that Gu Zijin and Qin Xiaobai sat on the edge of the bed. She was taken aback, thinking that something had happened.
“What are you doing?”
“Dabai, we’d like to have a talk with you!” Qin Xiaobai said, glancing at Gu Zijin.
“Go on.”
“Dabai, I’ve finished my job, why not…”
Qin Xiaobai hesitated for a while, so Gu Zijin got to the point, “Let’s go back to China.”
“What?”
Qin Muxuan frowned, “But I have just come here. I haven’t done a job interview. It’s just two days later…”
“Let’s go back to China.” Gu Zijin repeated, squatting down by her side. Gazing at Qin Muxuan on the bed, he clenched her hands.
Qin Muxuan was mute.
“I know you came here to look for a job, but now, I want to live with you.”
Gu Zijin said resolutely, as if no one could stop him.
“I…” Technically, Qin Muxuan was tempted. She longed for living a simple life with Gu Zijin, Xiaobai and the baby in her belly.
“I think we should make a long-term plan. You know, problems can’t be easily settled.”
Xiaobai suddenly cut in, “Mommy, I also want to go back. I miss the hot pot restaurant in my kindergarten and the strawberry milk-tea. I also long to see my friends again.”
“I believe daddy will protect us!”
Qin Xiaobai’s words echoed Gu Zijin’s.
Qin Muxuan had no choice. They were so resolute and looked at her with their expectant eyes, which swayed her decision. She pursed her underlip, staring back at them.
“Okay…”
Qin Xiaobai bounced cheerfully from the ground, “I’ll be back to China! Hurrah!”
Xiaobai was overjoyed. Seeing that, Qin Muxuan lowered her head and smiled. When she raised her head, she looked into Gu Zijin’s obsidian-like eyes.
