Chapter 165: Timid Dabai
Qin Muxuan knew Xiaobai was fond of funfairs. However, she didn’t have the money or the time.
Hence, she had postponed the plan to take him there.
It was rare to spend their time in a funfair, so she didn’t want to be a killjoy.
“Can we go to the funfair, mommy?”
Qin Muxuan consented, “Okay, but I want an ice cream.”
“I will buy you one!” Hearing that, Qin Xiaobai grinned.
“Deal!”
Yin Youting smiled. He didn’t understand why there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart when he saw their interaction.
“The car’s ready outside. Today’s a sunny day. The weather is favorable for an outing.”
…
They arrived at the funfair.
Activities in which participants needed to fly high in the air stunned Qin Muxuan.
She always feared such exciting activities.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Dabai, I like that!”
Qin Xiaobai pointed at a roller coaster. “No way. You’re too young to ride on that.” Qin Muxuan told him seriously.
“How about that smaller one? I’ve read the notice. It says I’m old enough!”
Qin Muxuan scratched her head, ‘The smaller one for Xiaobai looks like an enormous monster for me!’
“Are you scared?”
Yin Youting noticed Qin Muxuan’s pale face.
“I can’t believe Dabai’s scared!”
Qin Muxuan smiled embarrassedly. She tried to belie her horrors, “Well, I prefer the haunted house. I just feel sick about being high.”
“Gotcha.”
Recalling the past, Yin Youting nodded. ‘It seems that it’s true.’
“Okay, you stay here. I will go there with Xiaobai.”
Qin Muxuan was worried, “Are you okay with that?”
“I’m fine.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan felt relieved. Yin Youting headed to the roller coaster with Xiaobai. She ate the ice cream, staring at their receding figures.
After a few rounds, Qin Xiaobai had a joyful time.
“Mommy, you can’t imagine how exciting it is! That’s interesting!”
“But you’re scared of this. If not, we can have fun together!”
Qin Muxuan stroked Xiaobai’s hair, “It’s okay. I’m delighted as long as you’re happy.”
“Uh huh!”
…
Lisa knocked on the office’s door.
“Come in.” Gu Zijin was reading a document, not raising his head.
“Mr. Gu, I bring the cake that you asked me to book.”
Hearing that, Gu Zijin pulled himself back from his work and gazed at the cake in front of him.
He put away the paper in his hands.
“Send these documents to the financial department and check the account. I’ve something to do in the afternoon. Cancel the meeting.”
“But the meeting is…”
Gu Zijin rubbed his forehead impatiently, “I said ‘cancel it’. Understand?”
Lisa dared not protest. Nodding, she went out to handle other things, ‘Mr. Gu was so terrible!’
With the cake in his hand, Gu Zijin stepped out of the company. He cautiously placed it on the passenger seat.
Accelerating his car, Gu Zijin finally stopped at the gate to Rose Princess.
Minimizing his fidget, Gu Zijin didn’t want a negative result caused by their tempers. It was Qin Muxuan’s birthday after all.
He knocked on the door.
Nobody answered him. He kept rapping on the door, which was futile.
‘She’s not at home?’
Returning to his car, Gu Zijin waited for her. Suddenly, a car drove over from a distance.
He pulled a long face when he saw the persons who stepped out of the car.
They were Qin Muxuan, Qin Xiaobai and a man. That was Yin Youting.
‘Celebrating your birthday with another man. Well, you went too far!’
“Thank you for accompanying us. Xiaobai’s happy today.”
Yin Youting asked, “How about you?” He didn’t mention other things but wanted to know her feeling.
“Me?”
Yin Youting nodded.
“Xiaobai’s happy. Of course, I’m cheerful.”
“Muxuan, I hope you can feel happy for yourself. Don’t consider others. Today is your birthday.” Said Yin Youting slowly.
“This is for you. Happy birthday.”
He opened a gift box. A necklace lay there, shining.
It was a Swarovski necklace.
After a glance, Qin Muxuan knew it was expensive. She was familiar with the brand, so she refused.
“Thank you, but I won’t take it. I really appreciate it that you come here to celebrate my birthday with Xiaobai today. This is too expensive. I can’t take it.”
“Muxuan, I carefully chose that for you. I hope you can wear it.”
“I’m not good at selecting a gift. It’s just a small gift for your birthday. If you don’t take it, I will have to throw it.”
Blinking, Qin Xiaobai pulled at her clothes, “Mommy, take it. You can give it back when we celebrate Uncle Yin’s birthday.”
Qin Muxuan was embarrassed. She even started sweating.
‘How can I afford such an expensive gift?’
‘Well, it’s so embarrassing to stay here.’
‘I can take it now and keep it well. Later, I can find a chance to give it back.’
“Thank you…”
Yin Youting nodded pleasantly.
…
Qin Muxuan quivered for she sensed someone menacing gradually approaching.
“Why not give such a luxury to your girlfriend, Mr. Yin? Is it appropriate for you to care about my son’s mother?”
Hearing the voice, Qin Muxuan turned around immediately and was petrified.
“Gu Zijin, why are you here?”
“Today’s your birthday.”
‘Birthday, he remembers my birthday?’
“Yan Yuxiao won’t misunderstand you after realizing that you celebrate my birthday with me?”
Frowning, Gu Zijin asked wrathfully, “Why do you keep mentioning her?”
‘Well, people all know that Yan Yuxiao and Gu Zijin are a couple.’
‘I’m nobody, so I mentioned Yan Yuxiao.’
“Mr. Gu, this is between Muxuan and me. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Although she’s your son’s mother, she’s not your legal wife, right?”
‘No, she’s not.’
Though Gu Zijin admitted inwardly, he glared at them.
“How do you know whether we are dating or not?” Gu Zijin held Qin Muxuan tightly around the waist, squinting at the man meaningfully.
“You’re not!”
Qin Xiaobai humphed, “You and great-grandma want to drive mommy away. You also ask me to abandon her, but I won’t. You can never separate us!”
Qin Muxuan got rid of Gu Zijin, holding Xiaobai in her arms. Her voice trembled, “Xiaobai…”
“Dad, you’ve already been with another woman. Why do you bother my mom?”
“Who told you that?”
“It’s true, right?” A smile appeared on Yin Youting’s face. Though he threw out a question, his voice was as gentle as before.
Gu Zijin had never experienced such pressure.
He even felt a little… powerless.
