Chapter 381: You Won’t Sleep with Me?
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the villa.
Qin Muxuan got out of the car with Jian Xi and Xiaobai. Hearing the sound of the engine, Xiaoxin knew that her mommy and brother were back, so she couldn’t wait to go to the door and wait there.
Surprisingly, Xiaoxin saw Jian Xi standing next to Qin Muxuan. She cheered and threw herself towards Jian Xi, “Godmother!”
Jian Xi finally put on a smile and held Xiaoxin in her arms. This morning, she was in a hurry to leave, so she didn’t have time to greet Xiaoxin.
Qin Muxuan saw how happy her daughter was when she saw Jian Xi and she couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. She pursed her lips and said, “Xiaoxin, why didn’t you come to mommy first?”
Knowing that mommy wouldn’t really be angry, Xiaoxin playfully stuck out her tongue, “I haven’t seen my godmother for a few days.”
Jian Xi kissed Xiaoxin’s white cheek, “Do you miss me, Xiaoxin?”
Xiaoxin nodded, “Yes!”
Jian Xi’s heart warmed and the smile on her face deepened, but the next second, Jian Xi found herself unable to smile.
“Did you bring a present to me, Godmother?” Xiaoxin asked innocently and expectantly.
Jian Xi’s smile froze. She had been feeling quite irritated these days, and she didn’t plan to come here today. Of course she didn’t prepare any gifts.
Qin Muxuan looked at her daughter who asked for a gift, and she was speechless. But it was understandable as Jian Xi always pampered Xiaoxin. Every time they met, she would give her a small gift to make her happy.
Jian Xi glanced at Qin Muxuan and signaled her to help.
Qin Muxuan copied that and coughed dryly, “Xiaoxin, Godmother is here today as a guest. How can you ask guests for gifts?”
Xiaoxin obviously did not understand what the word “guest” meant, so she said with some grievance, “But godmother always bring me gifts.”
When she saw Xiaoxin’s face became crumpled because she felt wronged, Qin Muxuan felt very remorseful. Did she sound too severe?
Jian Xi also looked at Qin Muxuan reproachfully. The accusation in her tone was obvious. Qin Muxuan felt quite wronged: I was trying to help you, and you’re blaming me now?
Jian Xi was about to tell Xiaoxin the truth and apologize to her when she heard a cold voice.
“Xiaoxin, Papa and mommy invited Aunty to come to our home. So she didn’t have time to prepare a present for you. If you want anything, Papa will buy it for you, okay?”
Actually Xiaoxin didn’t want a gift that much. It was just that she was used to Jian Xi giving her gifts every time they met, so she asked that question out of habit. And after hearing what Gu Zijin said, she didn’t insist and only nodded obediently.
Qin Muxuan glanced at Gu Zijin who was standing next to her. She didn’t know why she was calm when she heard him saying the word “home”, but when Gu Zijin talked about them as if they were a family, Qin Muxuan felt an inexplicable feeling.
Sensing Qin Muxuan’s gaze, Gu Zijin turned to look at her and asked silently, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Muxuan couldn’t run away, so she looked straight into his eyes. She was a little flustered, but she only shook her head to show that nothing was wrong.
Holding Jian Xi’s hand, Qin Muxuan stepped forward and entered the door. And, Jian Xi, who felt a bit guilty, was still desperately trying to make a promise to Xiaoxin that she would prepare a gift next time.
Qin Muxuan was a little helpless. Were they all pampering Xiaoxin too much? What if she got spoiled and became arrogant?
However, seeing how obedient Xiaoxin looked, Qin Muxuan relaxed a little and felt that she was overthinking.
Gu Zijin and Xiaobai followed behind them. Seeing that the three of them looked incomparably harmonious, Xiaobai was a little annoyed. Why did he feel that that woman had stolen his mommy and sister away from him?
Gu Zijin had exactly the same thoughts as his son did. He narrowed his eyes slightly. Why did he feel that someone had stolen his wife and daughter away from him? And that person was a woman.
Well, President Gu had already regarded Qin Muxuan as his wife.
Jian Xi suddenly felt a little itchy on her nose and sneezed.
Qin Muxuan looked at her with concern. “Did you catch a cold?”
Jian Xi rubbed her nose and shook her head. “It’s okay. It’s just that my nose is a little itchy.” She felt like someone was saying bad things behind her!
As soon as she said that, Qin Muxuan suddenly felt a little itchy on her nose too and she thought to herself that sneezing was contagious.
The aunt smiled and greeted her, “Madam, Mister, you’re back. The food is still hot. Please help yourselves.”
Qin Muxuan looked at Gu Zijin with surprise, “You haven’t had dinner?”
Gu Zijin said calmly, “No, I was waiting for you. Have you eaten anything?”
Qin Muxuan froze for a moment and shook her head. “No.” She was busy working today. She didn’t have the time to eat dinner. Xiaobai ate a takeaway brought by his assistant while Qin Muxuan’s stomach was empty.
Maybe she had starved herself for too long, and she didn’t feel hungry anymore. However, when she saw a table of delicious dishes, Qin Muxuan instantly felt that the food was quite inviting.
Qin Muxuan asked Jian Xi to sit next to her while Gu Zijin and Xiaobai sat opposite them. Although Xiaoxin had already eaten, she wanted to sit next to Jian Xi.
Gu Zijin thought of something and said to the aunt, “Go and get the guest room ready. Our guest will stay for the night.”
The aunt was stunned for a moment. She was surprised that Gu Zijin would agree to let someone stay the night. After all, apart from Qin Muxuan, no other women had ever lived here.
When she saw that Qin Muxuan and the guest were very close, the aunt instantly understood that the guest was probably her friend. For her sake, Master let her stay. The aunt was even more impressed by Qin Muxuan.
The aunt responded and went to get the guest room ready.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Just as Qin Muxuan was about to ask if Xiaoxin’s stuff was still in the guest room, she thought that in such a large villa there must be more than one guest room, so she instantly shut up. She thought that she would sound foolish if she asked that.
Seeing that Qin Muxuan seemed to have something to say, Gu Zijin raised an eyebrow, “What is it?”
Qin Muxuan thought for a moment, “Tonight I’ll sleep with Jian Xi.”
Hearing that, Gu Zijin frowned and blurted out, “You won’t sleep with me?”
The moment he finished saying that, Xiaobai and Xiaoxin looked at Gu Zijin with astonishment, not to mention Qin Muxuan. Why was it that there was something wrong with his tone? Why was there a trace of resentment?
Gu Zijin was also a little embarrassed. He felt that just now he sounded like a newlywed wife abandoned by her husband.
Gu Zijin coughed dryly and said in a harsh tone, “Whatever.”
Jian Xi lowered her head to eat. What was she doing here? Why did she put herself through this? She only hoped that Gu Zijin would not hate her because of this. After all, no one who was hated by President Gu would end well!
Qin Muxuan felt a little embarrassed and tried to change the subject. “Come on. Let’s eat.” As she said this, she lowered her head and pretended to eat wholeheartedly.
Silently and awkwardly, the meal went on. Except Xiaoxin, everyone else felt like that they were sitting on pins and needles.
