Chapter 207: Change the Car
Qin Muxuan said to herself. There came the sound of stopping the car. She then heard familiar footfalls.
“You look happy today. What happened?”
As soon as he stepped in the house, he saw Qin Muxuan’s smile. He felt delighted.
“I inquired about some primary schools. When we have time, we can have a look at every school.”
Said Qin Muxuan softly. As usual, she gave Gu Zijin a glass of water.
“Primary schools?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Gu Zijin sat down with the glass in his hand. He asked in confusion.
‘Didn’t she even have a talk with me before that?’
“Yep. Xiaobai’s graduated from the kindergarten. I refused the invitation from many shows for him. I want him to study in a school like other children.”
Gu Zijin narrowed his eyes. Lying on the sofa casually, he loosened his tie.
“You need to rest at home. Don’t worry about his school. Our company has an elite private school. I will inform them.”
Hearing his words, Qin Muxuan broke off.
“I heard that children in private schools are under a lot of stress. Besides, I hope Xiaobai could stay low-profile.”
Xiaobai needed to grow up in a relatively carefree environment. She wished Xiaobai’s nature could be liberated, but not be jailed.
Gu Zijin realized her intention, but he didn’t change his mind.
“Xiaobai’s popular now. It’s not safe to stay in an ordinary school. At least, I own the private school. He won’t be in danger.”
In addition, the conditions and environment of a private school were way better than an ordinary one. He intended to provide better things for Xiaobai.
However, Qin Muxuan disapproved.
‘That limits Xiaobai. Is he trying to see Xiaobai in and out by sitting in a limo like other students in elite schools? Xiaobai would be busy going to various cram schools.’
‘I don’t want my perky son to become a dull boy.’
Gu Zijin knew Qin Muxuan was stubborn. In order to avoid a dispute, he turned to Xiaobai who was at a loss.
“Dad and mom want to know your opinion. Which one do you like, an ordinary school or a private school?”
Though Qin Xiaobai was young, he could make a choice. It was better to decide by himself.
Qin Muxuan peered at Xiaobai eagerly, waiting for his answer.
‘It’s complicated…’
Frowning, Qin Xiaobai pondered. His eyes moved. Then he opened his mouth and expressed himself.
“I will go to an ordinary school. Dabai complained that she didn’t like her primary school, so it’s better for me to attend a public school. She can pick me up every day. I don’t like a boarding school.”
‘An elite school needs its students to be in school 24 hours a day. I’d like to take care of my sister at home.’
After Qin Xiaobai finished his words, Qin Muxuan squinted at Gu Zijin complacently. Her eyes were glistening.
Gu Zijin didn’t oppose Xiaobai’s decision. He put on a solemn face, talking to Qin Xiaobai, “Xiaobai, if you can’t fit in or feel uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to tell me. Clear?”
Qin Xiaobai understood that. He gave a ponderous nod of his head. Qin Muxuan held him in her arms.
“Xiaobai knows my thoughts. Don’t frighten him.”
“In this case, we can visit those schools when we have time. I will arrange Xiaobai’s outfit.”
Gu Zijin sat straight. Stripping off his coat, he walked towards the bathroom.
“Good boy!”
Qin Muxuan held Qin Xiaobai in her arms as if he was a doll. Her eyes followed Gu Zijin.
God knew how hard it was to change Gu Zijin’s mind.
With Yin Youting’s help, Qin Muxuan chose a school not far from their house. It had a good atmosphere. Students’ parents came from every stratum of society. She was also satisfied with its conditions and environment.
Qin Xiaobai carefreely stayed at home for a couple of weeks. Time flew. It was time for school to start again.
“Xiaobai, you look great today!”
Staring at Qin Xiaobai in the mirror, Qin Muxuan exclaimed. Her son wore a lively sportswear, a baseball cap embroidered with a lovely puppy and a school bag selected by her.
His adorable face and stunning outfit were perfect!
Qin Muxuan put her hands on Qin Xiaobai’s shoulders. Her baby bump stopped her from bending.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes!”
Qin Muxuan beamed with pleasure. She lifted her hand and smiled at Xiaobai.
Her son understood and gave Qin Muxuan a high-five.
Gu Zijin was occupied by work, so he couldn’t drive his son to school in person. He had prepared the car which parked outside.
When they were ready, Qin Muxuan and Qin Xiaobai stepped out of their home. As soon as she saw the car, she was petrified.
Gu Zijin had prepared a Lincoln. Besides, it was an extended version…
“Sorry, can we change the car?”
Qin Muxuan said to the driver.
‘It’s too much! We’re not going to a show.’
“My lady, it’s Mr. Gu’s order. I can’t change it.”
The driver apologized.
‘Fine. It’s too late to change the car. I hope no one would notice us for it’s the rush hour.’
However, it was hard for passers-by to ignore them…
The school was not far away. It was about ten minutes’ drive. When Qin Muxuan got off the car, she noticed other cars stayed away from the Lincoln. All passers-by gaped at the limo as if they had seen something from the alien world.
Entering the school, Qin Muxuan felt she was walking down the red carpet. Staring at Qin Muxuan and her son, everyone made way for them.
Fortunately, she found Qin Xiaobai’s head teacher soon.
“You’re Qin Xiaobai’s mother, right? Nice to meet you. I’ve been waiting for you. I thought Xiaobai just has the same name with the child star. I didn’t expect it is really him!”
As soon as they strode in the office, the head teacher came up fervidly. Qin Muxuan was taken by surprise.
“I will appreciate it a lot if you can take care of Xiaobai. Please call me as soon as possible when something happens.”
“Of course. Xiaobai’s well-behaved and adorable. I’m also his fan.”
Qin Muxuan helped Qin Xiaobai complete the process of enrollment. Not for a while, students crowded outside the window. They craned their necks to look at Qin Xiaobai.
“Gosh! It’s him! Which class is he in?”
“We can easily get his autographed photos…”
After the process was finished, the teacher asked students to stay at the classroom. Parents needed to leave.
“Be a good boy. I will pick you up when classes are over.”
After finishing her words, Qin Muxuan stroked Qin Xiaobai’s head. She put his soft hand on the teacher’s hand.
The teacher led Xiaobai into the classroom. As soon as they walked in, all students exclaimed.
“Qin Xiaobai! Please share the table with me!”
“No! Share the table with me!”
“Kids, quiet!”
It was inevitable that students went crazy. The teacher led Qin Xiaobai to his seat in a modest manner, trying to calm them down.
However, it didn’t work. The first class of these pupils was quite noisy.
