Chapter 265: Qin Xin
“Why do you deny that so fast? Maybe I have just spoken out your secret.”
“What are you talking about?” Qin Muxuan rolled her eyes to Jian Xi and walked ahead in a huff. After she unlocked the car with the key, she opened the car door beside the driver’s seat and got into the car.
Jian Xi, seeing Qin Muxuan getting into the car, gave a wry smile. After that, she also opened the car door and sat on the passenger seat.
“Where are we going?” Qin Muxuan asked.
“Let’s go to eat Japanese food, how does that sound?” Jian Xi looked at Qin Muxuan with a smile on her face.
“OK.” Qin Muxuan set off at once and drove to the Japanese restaurant that she and Jian Xi frequented.
After around ten minutes, the car slowly stopped in front of a Japanese restaurant.
Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi got off the car and walked toward the restaurant. As the waitress of the restaurant saw them, she walked over to greet them at once.
“Miss Qin, Miss Jian, welcome. The private room on the second floor, right?” The waitress said to Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi with a smile. Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi were no stranger to this restaurant and nearly came here every weak. Over time, the waiters and waitresses here all remembered their faces.
“Yes. What’s your recommendation for today?” Jian Xi said with a smile.
The waitress started to make the recommendation to Jian Xi at once while bringing Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi to the second floor. After Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi finished ordering in the private room, the waitress left them immediately.
“All right, stop frowning. Others might assume that I have owed you money.”
Qin Muxuan couldn’t help chuckling after hearing Jian Xi’s words. There was truly some money issue between them. Qin Muxuan was the debtor and Jian Xi was the creditor.
“I am just a bit worried about Xiaoxin.” Qin Muxuan turned around and said to Jian Xi.
Although she could ask Yin Youting to look after Qin Xin, she still couldn’t rest assured because she didn’t know how long it would take her to discuss the acquisition of the company.
“You can take Xiaoxin with you.”
“But I’m afraid that I wouldn’t have time to take care of her on a business trip.”
“Why are you so worried? I am coming with you too. I can look after her and you go talk with the lawyer.” Jian Xi shrugged and said that.
Qin Muxuan didn’t know what to say, but she had to admit that Jian Xi had offered a great solution. “Fine, I’ll bring Xiaoxin with us then.”
“Perfect. It’s a great chance for me and my little girl to bond with each other.” Jian Xi was like Qin Xin’s biological mother. She planned to do some shopping with Qin Xin this time. After all, walking on the street with such a gorgeous little girl would draw quite a lot of attention.
Jian Xi loved kids, but she couldn’t give birth to one now. Also, ever since she had got divorced, she had never been in a relationship. For that reason and that Qin Xin was Qin Muxuan’s daughter, Jian Xi liked the little girl a lot.
“Don’t corrupt my baby girl.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person.”
The look on Jian Xi’s face made Qin Muxuan smile. She was so lucky to have Jian Xi, Qin Xin and Yin Youting’s company over the past three years. Otherwise, Qin Muxuan really didn’t know how she was going to continue her life.
While she was staring at Jian Xi, she got dazed again.
“Sorry to interrupt, here are the dishes you ordered.” The waitress’s voice sounded by Qin Muxuan’s ear, interrupting her thoughts.
“Thank you.” Qin Muxuan nodded to the waitress smilingly.
“You are welcome. Have a nice meal.” With a professional smile on her face, the waitress left right after she served all the dishes.
“OK, it’s time to eat. I’ll visit Xiaoxin at your place after this meal. I have brought her lots of toys from abroad when I was on a business trip. If it wasn’t because of what has happened to our company, I would have gone to your house long ago.” Jian Xi ate the Sushi while saying that.
“Fine.” Qin Muxuan nodded as a consent. Every time Jian Xi went on a business trip, she would bring Qin Xin gifts, though sometimes she would forget to bring something back to Qin Muxuan. If Qin Muxuan hadn’t watched Qin Xin coming out from her own belly, she really would doubt that Jian Xin was the blood mother of Qin Xin.
After the meal, Qin Muxuan sent Jian Xi home first to let the latter get the toys. Then she brought the latter to her own house.
“Alas, it has been so long I didn’t come.” Jian Xi slumped on the sofa and threw away her purse, “Where is Xiaoxin?”
“Maybe she was taken upstairs by Nanny Zhang to have a nap.” Qin Muxuan took out a bottle of soft drink from the fridge and handed it to Jian Xi. Then she raised her head to look at the clock on the wall, finding it was already two o’clock. Qin Xin was supposed to wake up at this time and then she said, “Wait for me here. I’ll check upstairs.”
Jian Xi nodded her head and took a sip of the drink. Qin Muxuan headed to Qin Xin’s room upstairs. After she pushed the door open gently, she saw Nanny Chen playing Barbie doll with Qin Xin by the bed.
“Mommy!” Qin Xin looked up and saw Qin Muxuan right away. Then she jumped off the bed and ran toward Qin Muxuan.
As Qin Muxuan saw Qin Xin, she couldn’t help but flash a smile on her face. Then she, having squatted down, held Qin Xin in her arms and kissed on the latter’s cheek, “Have you missed me?”
“Of course. I also missed Xixi mother.” Qin Xin curled her lips with an upset expression on her little face. Jian Xi hadn’t come to visit her for a month and this little girl was wondering if Jian Xi had completely forgotten about her.
“Your Xixi mother is downstairs right now. Why don’t we go and find her?” Qin Muxuan chuckled.
“Really?” Hearing Jian Xi’s name, Qin Xin showed a surprised and overjoyed look in her eyes.
“Of course. Your Xixi mother also brought you a lot of toys.”
“Mommy, let’s get downstairs right away!”
“OK.” Qin Muxuan agreed with a nod as she saw Qin Xin’s anxious look. Then she turned to Nanny Zhang, “Jian Xi would stay for dinner tonight. Please make some dishes she likes.”
“Yes, Madam.” Nanny Zhang responded.
After that, Qin Muxuan held Qin Xin up and walked downstairs instantly. The moment they arrived at the first floor, Qin Xin saw Jian Xin who was still sitting on the sofa at once. “Xixi mother!”
An innocent voice reached Jian Xi’s ear. She looked up and saw Qin Xin who was in Qin Muxuan’s arms.
“Xiaoxin, you are awake!”
“Yes! I woke up long ago. When I heard that you arrived, I came down right away!” After Qin Muxuan sat on the sofa, Qin Xin climbed out of her arms and slipped into Jian Xi’s arms at once.
“Xiaoxin, have you missed me?” Jian Xi looked at the little girl in her arms and pinched Qin Xin’s cheek. Qin Xin had wanted to say yes, but suddenly got a bit unhappy as she remembered that Jian Xi hadn’t come to see her for over a month. Then she pouted immediately and turned her head away, “Humph, I don’t miss you at all. Xixi mother, you have totally forgotten about me. You haven’t visited me for a month.”NôvelDrama.Org content.
Jian Xi didn’t know how to react when seeing Qin Xin’s angry face. Only then did she realize that she hadn’t visited Qin Xin for a month. Maybe it was because Jian Xi had been so busy dealing with the business affairs lately that she had forgotten about such an important thing.
Jian Xi, knowing that she was in the wrong this time, said in a weak tone at once, “Xiaoxin, don’t be mad at me, OK? It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”
After Qin Xin heard Jian Xi’s apology, she had already stopped being angry, but she still turned her head away, refusing to look at Jian Xi.
Seeing that, Jian Xi took out a Barbie doll from the shopping bag, the one she had asked Qin Muxuan to send her home to get. When she was on the business trip, she had bought this doll of the limited edition specifically because she knew that Qin Xin loved Barbie dolls.
“Xiaoxin, I have brought you a gift.”
As Qin Xin heard the word ‘gift’, her eyes were sparkling. Then she turned around at once. The second she saw the barbie doll in front of her, she cried out, “A Barbie! Is this for me?”
“Of course.”
“Thank you, Xixi mother.” After knowing that the Barbie doll was bought for her, Qin Xin showed a big smile and held the doll in her arms right away. Then she kissed on Jian Xi’s face.
“Xiaoxin, you are not angry at me now, right?” Jian Xi looked at Qin Xin who was playing the doll happily and asked that.
The Barbie doll had caught Qin Xin’s full attention. As she heard Jian Xi’s question, she shook her head immediately, “As long as you don’t forget me, I’ll always like you.”
“Good girl.” Jian Xin only felt her heart softened as she listened to that childish voice and couldn’t help stroking Qin Xin’s head.
Qin Muxuan watched Jian Xin and Qin Xin interacting with each other the whole time with a smile on her face. No matter what had happened, Qin Muxuan always found her tiredness disappearing as soon as she saw Qin Xin’s face.
“Xixi mother, you cannot touch my head from now on.” After Qin Xin felt Jian Xi touching her head, she turned around and said in a stern voice.
“Why?” Jian Xin looked at Qin Xin confusedly.
“I heard from TV that it will make me unable to grow taller.” Qin Xin seemed quite serious about that. She heard about that theory from a cartoon on TV two days ago.
“It’s all lies on TV. You will still grow taller even if I touch you head.”
“Xixi mother, you can’t lie to me. I want to grow taller fast so that I can protect my mommy. No one will bully my mommy then.” Qin Xin seldom wore that serious face. Because Qin Muxuan still hadn’t got married, her neighbors gossiped about her and Qin Xin the whole time. However, Qin Muxuan never took it to heart. Little did she know that Qin Xin kept all these things in mind.
Hearing Qin Xin’s words, Jian Xi got dazed. With Qin Muxuan’s eyes turning red, she nearly shed tears. After that, she hugged Qin Xin and kissed on the girl’s forehead, “Xiaoxin, don’t worry. No one will bully me.”
