Chapter 355: Being Called ‘Papa’
As soon as the two of them finished their meal, Lisa was there. Qin Muxuan was dumbfounded when she saw Lisa have people carry boxes of things into the room. What were those?!
Qin Muxuan looked at Lisa in confusion. “Lisa, what are those?”
Lisa looked at her professionally, “Miss Qin, these are all for Miss Xiaoxin.”
Qin Muxuan was still confused, “So many?”
Lisa’s expression didn’t change. “Yes, President Gu asked me to prepare thoroughly. If there is anything missing, I can go get it.”
Even though Lisa looked expressionless, we could all guess that she actually felt quite speechless. She was super excited that she got off work on time today, and she even planned to call her friends and go shopping with them.
But, who’d know that an hour later, Gu Zijin would call her to buy stuff for Xiaoxin. As a result, Lisa still went shopping, but not for herself. Instead she bought so many stuff for little girls that she almost emptied the entire mall.
Qin Muxuan looked at Gu Zijin speechlessly. “Why did you buy so much stuff for her? She’s got everything she needs in my place. I can just tell Jian Xi to take them here.” She thought that Gu Zijin had only asked Lisa to buy some clothes for Xiaoxin, but with all those boxes, he might have bought the entire store.
Gu Zijin did not care at all, “It’s alright. Now that Xiaoxin’s living here, I need to get everything ready.”
When she heard what Gu Zijin said, Qin Muxuan was stunned. She just planned to have Xiaoxin and Xiaobai develop a bond during this period of time, and that was why she agreed. And she was going to find a chance to move out, but it now looked like Gu Zijin wanted Xiaoxin to stay here forever.
Qin Muxuan found this quite tricky. What should she do now? Should she stay here with Xiaoxin, and have an ambiguous relationship with Gu Zijin like four years ago?
All those boxes took up half of the living room. Since they were for Xiaoxin, Qin Muxuan couldn’t say anything about Gu Zijin. After all, Xiaoxin was also Gu Zijin’s daughter.
Lisa asked, “President Gu, where should I put all these stuff?”
“Take the daily clothes and toys to Xiaobai’s room. Put the rest in the guest room for now. After Xiaoxin’s room is decorated, you’ll move them in there.” It was obvious that Gu Zijin had thought about this question and he answered it very quickly.
When Qin Muxuan heard the arrangement of Gu Zijin, she weakly said, “Actually, there’s no need for that. You don’t have to decorate a room for her. Just let Xiaoxin and Xiaobai stay in the same room. After all…”
Before Qin Muxuan could finish what she started, she was stopped by Gu Zijin’s sharp eyes and she stopped talking.
Gu Zijin stared at Qin Muxuan. “After all, what?”
If Qin Muxuan didn’t hear it wrong, there was a hint of threat in Gu Zijin’s tone, so Qin Muxuan shook her head weakly. “No, nothing.”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
And Gu Zijin continued to instruct, “Do as I said. Make it quick.”
Qin Muxuan was speechless, but she didn’t stop them. Forget it. Just let him do whatever he wants. She isn’t the one who have to pay for all those stuff!
Lisa brought the people to Xiaobai’s room. “Little Master, Little Lady, sorry for disturbing you.”
Xiaoxin looked curiously at all the boxes being carried in. “What are in these boxes?”
Gu Zijin went upstairs and smiled at Xiaoxin and explained, “These are all for you. You like Barbie dolls, right?”
Xiaoxin quickly nodded. Her favorite toys were indeed Barbie dolls.
Gu Zijin winked at Lisa, and Lisa quickly took out the Barbie dolls one by one from a box, at which Xiaoxin looked with amazement.
Looking at all the Barbie dolls, Xiaoxin excitedly touched them.
Seeing how excited Xiaoxin was, a smile appeared on Gu Zijin’s face, “If you like them, you can have them all.”
Xiaoxin was about to nod but she saw Qin Muxuan standing at the door. She hesitated for a moment and said, “I need to ask Mommy.” Mommy once told her that she should not take things from other people.
Then Xiaoxin blinked her eyes and said to Qin Muxuan, “Mommy, can I have these Barbie Dolls?”
Qin Muxuan looked at Xiaoxin whose eyes were filled with hope and she knew that she couldn’t possibly say no, “Yes, but remember to say thank you.”
With Qin Muxuan’s consent, Xiaoxin picked up a Barbie doll and cheered, “Thank you, Papa!”
When he heard the word “Papa”, not to mention Qin Muxuan, even Gu Zijin, who had always remained calm, was stunned for a moment. He was pleasantly surprised but he was also afraid that he might’ve heard it wrong, “Xiaoxin, what did you just call me?”
Xiaoxin thought she said something wrong, so she changed the address hesitantly, “Uncle?”
And instantly you could see disappointment on Gu Zijin’s face.
Qin Muxuan came back to her senses from her shock. She was sure she hadn’t heard it wrong, “Xiaoxin, why did you call Uncle Gu Papa?”
Xiaoxin glanced at Xiaobai and saw encouragement from him. So she explained everything, “Brother Xiaobai said now that he was my brother, my mommy would be his mommy, and his father would be my father. Mommy, did I say anything wrong?”
Qin Muxuan glanced at Qin Xiaobai who was sneering now andsaid helplessly, “No, not exactly… ” After all, Gu Zijin was Xiaoxin’s father, but she didn’t expect that Xiaoxin would accept Gu Zijin so easily. She originally planned that she would have to explain to her later. Now that she called him papa, what else could she say?
When she saw that Qin Muxuan didn’t get angry, Xiaoxin tugged at her sleeve and said coquettishly, “Then, can I call Uncle Gu papa?”
Without waiting for Qin Muxuan to reply, Gu Zijin could not help but interject, “Of course, you can always call me Papa!” God knew how much he’d hoped for the day to come when Xiaoxin called him “Papa”, but he didn’t expect that happiness would come so soon.
Gu Zijin thought he had Qin Xiaobai to thank for this. He was lucky to have such a brilliant son!
What else could Qin Muxuan say? Nothing, so she chose to acquiesce.
Gu Zijin acted like he was addicted to it. He chased after Xiaoxin and asked her to call her “Papa”, and Xiaoxin was very obedient. She satisfied him every time.
Seeing Gu Zijin acting like that, Lisa instantly thought of the big golden retriever that she had raised before. Her golden retriever also looked like that when it wanted her to touch it.
Lisa was frightened by her thoughts and instantly shivered. How could she compare her boss to her golden retriever? It was not like that the boss was as cute as her golden retriever!
When Qin Muxuan saw the two of them getting along so well, she felt very emotional. Maybe this was the tacit understanding between a father and his biological daughter.
