Chapter 270: What She Doesn’t Know
Qin Xin’s words startled Qin Muxuan a bit, because it was a woman who had been talking on the phone with her.
“Wasn’t it a Miss who saved you?”
“Well… that Miss was with that brother.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan touched Qin Xin’s head smilingly, “Xiaoxin, promise me that you won’t run around next time, OK?” Qin Muxuan said softly.
When she couldn’t find Qin Xin just now, she even felt herself unable to breathe. For the past three years, Qin Xin meant everything to her.
“Okay! I know that I was wrong. Mommy, don’t cry. I won’t run around again.” When Qin Xin saw Qin Muxuan shedding tears, there was a guilty look appearing on her little face. Then she wiped the tears on her mother’s face and made a speech which sounded like a vow.
“Great.” Qin Muxuan chuckled gladly. Then she stood up and thanked the staff who had sent Qin Xin here.
The staff smiled bashfully, claiming that he wasn’t being very helpful. Then he went back to his work.
Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi then thanked the staffs in the radio room. Qin Xin also expressed her thanks to them with her baby voice, “Thank you for finding my Mommy for me, Miss.”
Qin Xin was a very gorgeous girl. With that serious look on her face, she looked super adorable now. Hearing her giving thanks, the staff also smiled to her, “You are welcome. Listen to your mother, you can never run around like this next time.”
“OK, I see.” Qin Xin nodded heavily.
Qin Xin knew that she had brought a lot of troubles to Qin Muxuan this time, then she swore to herself secretly that she would never let her mother worry. Also, she planned to take her Mommy to meet the boy she had met if she had a chance to meet him again.
“Xiaoxin, let’s go. Say goodbye to this Miss.”
“Goodbye, Miss.”
As saying this, Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi left with Qin Xin.
“Beep-beep-beep-” As they walked out of the radio room, Jian Xi’s phone rang. When she saw the name on the screen, she got a bit dazed.
She picked up the phone, “Hello.”
An idle voice sounded in the phone, “Jian Xi, you and Xuan are coming back today, right?”
‘Why would he know that we are coming back today?’ She thought. Then she figured it out right away as she remembered this man’s relationship with Yin Youting. “Did President Yin tell you this?”
“Yep. I’m at the gate of the airport. Have you got out yet?” Mu Ming said with a flat tone. He would never admit that he had begged Yin Youting to tell him about Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi’s landing time.
“Well… We’ll come out immediately.”
“Fine. I’ll wait you at the gate.” After saying that, Mu Ming hung up the phone.
After the call dropped, Jian Xi was still in a trance. ‘Did he come here to pick us up specifically?’ She wondered.
“What happened?” Qin Muxuan asked Jian Xi.
“President Mu is here to pick us.” Jian Xi said resignedly.
Qin Muxuan had known that Mu Ming was fond of Jian Xi long ago. As she heard Jian Xi’s words, she couldn’t help chuckling. It seemed that Mu Ming was being serious this time.
“Are you really not going to give this considerate man a chance?” Qin Muxuan teased.
“What are you talking about? He doesn’t like me.” Jian Xi retorted at once. She and Mu Ming had only known each other through Qin Muxuan. Mu Ming was a great friend of Yin Youting and Jian Xi had connected with Qin Youting often because of her relationship with Qin Muxuan. As a result, she then had got to know Mu Ming.
However, Jian Xi had never found that Mu Ming had a thing for her. She assumed that Mu Ming only became her close friend because of Yin Youting and Qin Muxuan.
Qin Muxuan smiled and looked at Jian Xi with a meaningful look without saying anything.
“Mommy, is Uncle Mu here?” Qin Xin looked at Qin Muxuan with an excited look on her face.
“Yes, he’s waiting for us at the outside.”
“Hurry, Mommy, I haven’t seen Uncle Mu for so long.” On these words, Qin Xin kept dragging Qin Muxuan ahead.
Qin Muxuan could only let the girl pull her ahead since the look on the latter’s face seemed so excited. Jian Xi also followed them quickly.
When the three of them got out of the airport, they saw Mu Ming who was standing beside a car at once. The man also noticed them at the same time and waved to them.
After all, the picture of Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi, the two gorgeous women, walking with a cute little girl was too eye-catching. No wonder why Mu Ming could catch the sight of them right away.
“Uncle Mu!” Qin Xin let go of Qin Muxuan’s hand and ran toward Mu Ming.
Mu Ming squatted down and held Qin Muxuan in his arms. He found that this little girl was never shy with strangers. The first time they had met each other, she had badgered him into playing with her.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Maybe Qin Xin was very well like because of her outgoing character.
“Xiaoxin, did you miss me?” Mu Ming made a mischievous move by pinching Qin Xin’s little face.
“Do I have presents?” Qin Xin didn’t answer Mu Ming’s question and asked him if he had brought any gifts to her with her eyes goggled. Mu Ming’s eyes twitched subconsciously, thinking, ‘Yin Youting and Jian Xi truly have spoiled the girl. Now I have to prepare a gift for her every time we meet.’
“It’s on the car. Why don’t you check it by yourself?”
“Perfect!”
After Mu Ming opened the door for Qin Xin, the girl slipped into the car right away. Then she started to play with the toys that Mu Ming had bought for her.
“I know you haven’t eaten anything yet. I’ve booked a restaurant. Considering this as celebrating your arrival.” Mu Ming said to Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi.
Although Mu Ming was talking to both of them, his intangible gaze fell on Jian Xi the whole time.
“I don’t want to bring you too much trouble.” Jian Xi felt a bit embarrassed under Mu Ming’s gaze.
“Not at all. Get in the car. I can’t let Xiaoxin starve with you two.”
Mu Ming said that as if he had booked the restaurant specifically for Qin Xin. Every time Jian Xi said something to reject him, he would use Qin Xin as an excuse. Such cases happened so many times. No wonder why Jian Xi couldn’t feel Mu Ming’s affection toward her.
“Thank you, President Mu.”
Mu Ming felt very uncomfortable as he heard how Jian Xi had addressed him. Every time she called him President Gu, he would feel that she was distancing herself from him.
However, Jian Xi had no idea of Mu Ming’s thought. She just didn’t want to start a new relationship, so she had been pushing every man around her away. As a matter of fact, a lot of men had chased after Jian Xi after she had got divorced. However, Jian Xi had kept a distance from them, so those men had all given up since they had assumed that Jian Xi had no feelings for them.
Qin Muxuan got a bit anxious for Jian Xi’s current situation. Only she knew that Jian Xi did have had a crush on someone once after her divorce, however, that guy had also given up in the midway.
Then, Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi got into the car. After around half an hour, they arrived at the restaurant that Mu Ming had booked.
After they finished ordering, Mu Ming and Jian Xi started to chat. Qin Muxuan who sat beside Jian Xi didn’t join the conversation because she wanted to create a chance for Mu Ming.
Suddenly, Qin Muxuan remembered that the waiter had told her that there was an amusement zone for children, so she looked down at Qin Xin and asked, “The food will be served after a while. Xiaoxin, do you want to play with Mommy over there?” As saying that, Qin Muxuan pointed to the place nearby.
Qin Xin was getting bored now. Hearing that, she nodded at once, “Yes!”
Qin Muxuan chuckled and turned to Mu Ming and Jian Xi, “I’ll bring Xiaoxin to play over there. We’ll be back soon.”
Jian Xi nodded without having a single doubt.
Mu Ming, on the contrary, gave Qin Muxuan a thumb-up when Jian Xi wasn’t looking, thinking, ‘You know me so well. Thanks for creating the opportunity for us.’
Qin Muxuan then took Qin Xin to the amusement zone. She had helped Mu Ming because she felt that he truly had fallen love with Jian Xi and that Jian Xi had been longing for someone to rely on deep down.
As Qin Xin walked into the zone, she saw the slide at once. Then she took off her shoes and rushed to the slide at once. “Watch out, Xiaoxin. Don’t trip yourself.” Qin Muxuan reminded Qin Xin in a hurry seeing the latter running so fast.
The adults were forbidden to get in, so Qin Muxuan could only watch Qin Xin at the outside. Seeing Qin Xin’s grinning face, Qin Muxuan also smiled.
At this moment, Qin Muxuan’s phone suddenly vibrated.
“Hello.” She picked up the phone.
“Is this President Qin? I’m Mr. Gu’s lawyer. You can call me Miss Mu.” A woman’s voice came on the line.
Qin Muxuan then remembered that Jian Xi had told the lawyer that Qin Muxuan would be in charge of all the acquisition affairs. That was why the lawyer had called her.
“Hello, Miss Mu.”
“Hello, president Qin. I heard from Miss Jian that you two have come back home today.”
“Yes, is this call about our contract?” Mr. Gu’s lawyer would only call her to talk about the details of the acquisition. As Qin Muxuan had picked up the phone, she had thought of that right away.
“That’s right. Sorry that I have called you so early. It’s just our boss will be on a business trip tomorrow. He’d like to meet you before that.”
‘Meet me?’ Qin Muxuan was a bit startled. She thought that this Mr. Gu didn’t want others to know who he was and didn’t understand why he wanted to see her now.
The lawyer seemed to have detected what Qin Muxuan was thinking. Then she explained, “Here’s the thing. Mr. Gu admires your original designs a lot, so he wants to meet you in person.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan got relieved. However, as she looked at Qin Xin who was playing the slide, she found herself in a dilemma at once.
