Chapter 368: I Will Not Leave You
Qin Muxuan walked to the door of Gu Zijin’s bedroom and looked at the door in front of her. The scenes from the past were flashing across her mind again. There were all kinds of memories, happy ones, sad ones, beautiful ones and painful ones.
Qin Muxuan took a deep breath and just as she put her hand on the handle, the door opened from inside.
Qin Muxuan was taken aback and she glared at Gu Zijin who was inside the room. “You’re in the room? You scared me to death.” She hadn’t seen any light coming out from the room, so she thought there was no one inside.
Gu Zijin turned on the lights. “Why did you stand outside for so long?”
Qin Muxuan was a little embarrassed. “How did you know I was outside?” It’d been a few years, and she didn’t dare to go in there. But of course, she couldn’t say that out loud.
“I heard the sound,” Gu Zijin explained.
Qin Muxuan nodded and entered the room, but she didn’t answer Gu Zijin’s question and Gu Zijin didn’t continue asking.
Qin Muxuan looked around the room and it seemed to be the same as before. In fact, when she thought about it, everything that belonged to her and Gu Zijin seemed to be the same as before, which made Qin Muxuan feel that only she had changed.
“Are there any clothes that I can wear?” Qin Muxuan didn’t know she was going to stay today, so she didn’t bring any clothes.
Gu Zijin raised his eyebrows and smirked, “You’re not going to sleep in the guest room today?”
Qin Muxuan rolled her eyes silently in her heart. She had planned to pretend that she and Gu Zijin were not together in front of Ye Han and Gu Heng, but since Xiaoxin had already told Ye Han that she slept in the same room with him, she didn’t have to pretend anymore.
“You want me to sleep in the guest room?” Qin Muxuan asked.
Gu Zijin was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Qin Muxuan to ask him that, but he still said honestly, “Nope.”
Qin Muxuan finally found a chance to talk back. “If you don’t want to, then what are you asking?”
Gu Zijin was made speechless. He felt that Qin Muxuan was getting less scared of him. Did that mean that the distance between the two of them was getting shorter?
Qin Muxuan didn’t want to waste more time with Gu Zijin, so she asked again, “Are there any clothes I can wear?”
Gu Zijin finally got serious this time and nodded, “The clothes you wore before are still there.”
Qin Muxuan was shocked but she didn’t show it on her face. She only let out an “Oh” and then walked into the closet and quickly pulled out her former pajamas and some previous clothes.
When Qin Muxuan came out, Gu Zijin was sitting on the sofa with a iPad on his knees. It looked like he was working.
Out of courtesy, Qin Muxuan asked, “Do you want to take a shower first?”
Gu Zijin raised his eyebrows, “You’re so desperate?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment. She didn’t know how such a normal question could be associated with “desperate”. When she realized what he meant by that, she was flushed and she scolded, “What are you thinking about every day?”
And without looking at Gu Zijin, Qin Muxuan walked into the bathroom.
Looking at how defeated Qin Muxuan looked while she walked away, Gu Zijin felt that though he had taken a beating in the last round of their conversation, he won in this round of their conversation, so he was in a great mood and continued to work.
When Qin Muxuan came out, Gu Zijin was no longer looking at his iPad. Instead he was holding a book in his hand.
Seeing Qin Muxuan come out, Gu Zijin asked casually, “You’re done?”
Qin Muxuan didn’t look at him, and to avoid losing again, she only let out a low “Mhmm.”
Gu Zijin noticed Qin Muxuan’s abnormal behavior. He chuckled and picked up his clothes and said, “Wait for me then.” And then he went into the bathroom.
Qin Muxuan didn’t quite follow him. Waiting for you? In your dreams! And Qin Muxuan decided to fall asleep before Gu Zijin came out, but things didn’t always go as people wished. Qin Muxuan felt that she became soberer lying on the bed.
When she heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened, Qin Muxuan quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
After a while, Qin Muxuan clearly felt the other side of the bed sink down. The unique, refreshing fragrance on Gu Zijin’s body was accompanied by the slight coldness when he lifted the quilt. Qin Muxuan had always thought it very strange. Both of them used the same shower gel, but why was the smell on Gu Zijin’s body so special?
Gu Zijin breathed out hot air in her ear, “Muxuan, are you asleep?”
Qin Muxuan’s body stiffened but she didn’t move or say anything.
Gu Zijin didn’t give up. His lips were about to touch her earlobe, “Are you really asleep?”
Qin Muxuan felt that half of her body was going numb but she still didn’t say anything.
This time, Gu Zijin kissed Qin Muxuan’s earlobe directly, “You’re really asleep?”
Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but sit up and say, “How am I gonna sleep when you’re talking in my ear? Even if I were asleep, I’d be woken up by you! ”
Gu Zijin had just turned off the lights but his eyes were shining in the darkness. Qin Muxuan could even imagine how innocent he might look right now.
Qin Muxuan was so speechless that she wanted to support her forehead. Why did she feel that Gu Zijin had changed from being an indifferent and domineering CEO to being a talkative boyfriend who was super good at flirting? He was just like a dog who was trying to please his master right now.
If President Gu knew that Qin Muxuan compared him to a dog, he would be speechless.
Gu Zijin pulled Qin Muxuan back into his arms, “Alright, I won’t do it again. Tomorrow, we will take Xiaoxin and Xiaobai to the amusement park.”
Qin Muxuan instantly felt much less mad and let out a low “Mhmm.”
Suddenly Qin Muxuan thought of something and asked, “But won’t people shoot photographs of us together?” She and Xiaobai were both public figures, not to mention Gu Zijin. Though he was not in the entertainment industry, he was even more popular than some celebrities.
Gu Zijin frowned, “Don’t you want to be in the same pictures as me?”
Qin Muxuan knew that Gu Zijin had misinterpreted her words, so she explained softly, “I don’t mean that. I think that if the photos of us being together get out there, it will affect you and Xiaobai. Moreover, I don’t want Xiaoxin to be exposed to the public.”
Gu Zijin was silent for a while and said, “That won’t be a problem. I can book the entire amusement park.”
Great, President Gu was back to his old persona as a domineering CEO who spoke louder than others just because he had money.
Qin Muxuan tried not to ask but failed. “What did you and your dad talk about today? Is it about Xiaoxin?
Gu Zijin didn’t want to lie to Qin Muxuan, so he let out a soft “Mhmm.”
Qin Muxuan had a premonition. She felt that she needed to show her determination, “Gu Zijin, I won’t let Xiaoxin leave me.”
Gu Zijin frowned and hugged Qin Muxuan even tighter, “I know.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t know what Gu Zijin meant by that.
Gu Zijin patted Qin Muxuan’s back consolingly, “Xiaoxin won’t leave you and I won’t let her leave you.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t respond. She didn’t know if this was Gu Zijin’s promise to her, but strangely enough, she calmed down and felt asleep before she knew it.
