Chapter 281: She Wants to Stay
Li Cheng said that while smiling to Lin Qin.
“It doesn’t matter. I’m not picky about food! Thank you, Brother Li Cheng!” It had to be admitted that Lin Qin was the kind of girl who would easily win others’ favor. When she smiled, she looked even more agreeable.
“You are welcome, Miss Lin.”
In the meantime, Qin Xiaobai got off the bed and then stretched. He had only lain on the bed for half a day, but already got bored.
“By the way, Xiaobai, I heard from Uncle Gu that you could leave hospital tomorrow. Will you go back to school?” What concerned Lin Qin most was whether Qin Xiaobai would go back to school. If he got back to class, she would be able to see him every day.
“No.”
Hearing that, Lin Qin got a bit disappointed. Then she realized that Qin Xiaobai still had to shoot the film and didn’t have the time for class. While Lin Qin was in frustration, she suddenly remembered something, “Xiaobai, where do you shoot the film? Can I go there to play with you?” Saying that, she looked to Qin Xiaobai with a hopeful look.
However, Lin Qin was destined to be disappointed again. Qin Xiaobai raised his head slowly and said to her, “There are rules in the shooting site which forbid the outsiders to come in.”
Qin Xiaobai really didn’t understand why Lin Qin had to follow him all the time. At first, Qin Xiaobai hadn’t given it much thought. However, the situation had then lasted for three years.
“How could it be? I can ask my daddy to invest in your movie. Then I can go to find you.” Lin Qin’s face was filled with excitement again. Now she only regretted not having thought of that earlier.
Qin Xiaobai was very speechless as he heard those words. He turned to Lin Qin, “I might skip a grade and study in the fifth grade.”
Lin Qin got stunned after Qin Xiaobai had said that. Then she said subconsciously, “I’ll go with you.”
Qin Xiaobai didn’t even know how to react. Even if Lin Qin wanted to skip a grade, her performance wouldn’t allow her to do so.
As expected, Lin Qin continued, “I heard that the test for skipping a grade is very hard. What if I can’t pass it?” Lin Qin got anxious again. She was well aware of her own grades. She might not even be able to pass the finals, not to mention the test for skipping a grade.
Unlike her, Qin Xiaobai always took the first place in their class. So his grades wouldn’t be influenced no matter whether he came to class or not.
Thinking of that, Lin Qin felt she was so poor and should make up for lessons as her father had ordered.
Qin Xiaobai watched Lin Qin being in a dilemma and still didn’t say anything.
“Knock, knock-” Right at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Li Cheng walked to the door at once. As he opened the door, he found a strange man.
“Hello, I’m here to pick up our young lady.” The man smiled to Li Cheng.
Hearing that, Li Cheng realized right away that the young lady the man talked about must be Lin Qin.
“Please come in.” With that, Li Cheng let the man walk into the ward.
Qin Xiaobai and Lin Qin looked over and saw the man who walked over from the door.
“Brother Tianyu, what are you doing here?”
“Mr. Gu asked me to take you home. Young Lady, Master and Madam are so worried about you. Please come back with me.” Zhang Tianyu said.
Zhang Tianyu was the bodyguard that Lin Qin’s father had hired for her. His job was to stop her from running about.
Lin Qin felt a bit guilty when hearing Zhang Tianyu’s words. Then she nodded and agreed.
“Xiaobai, I’ll leave then. Let’s hang out with each other another day.” Lin Qin turned to Qin Xiaobai and said that. Qin Xiaobai nodded and watched Zhang Tianyu taking Lin Qin away.
At night, in the hotel, Qin Muxuan had been looking at her phone on the couch for a long time.
As she checked the time, she calculated that it was supposed to be the morning in the area where Yin Youting lived. Ever since Qin Muxuan went back from the hospital, she had been hesitating about whether she should stay here in order to learn about the news about Qin Xiaobai at any time.
However, if Qin Muxuan chose to stay, she had to take the risk of being found out by Gu Zijin and Elderly Lady Gu. She took a deep breath. After she hesitated for a while, she still dialed Yin Youting’s number.
On the other side, Yin Youting received Qin Muxuan’s call while he was eating breakfast. As he put the phone to his ear, he couldn’t help giving a smile, “Xuan, what’s wrong?’
“Youting, I need your help on something.” Qin Muxuan said slowly.
Yin Youting was confounded for a moment after hearing her request because Qin Muxuan seldom asked him to help. Thinking of that, he even got a bit delightful.
Qin Muxuan weighed and considered her words for a long time and then said, “Youting, I want to stay here. Xiaobai ran into an accident and is in hospital now. I couldn’t rest assured…”
Yin Youting was astonished by what she had said. He had thought that Qin Muxuan would never go back to that country. Never did he expect that this day still came.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Although Yin Youting felt despondent about that, he still asked about Qin Xiaobai’s condition subconsciously.
“How is Xiaobai now?”
“He’s out of danger.”
Only then did Yin Youting breathe a sigh of relief. “It’s fine, Xuan. You can come back after Xiaobai leaves hospital. If you want to see him again, Mu Ming and I will try our best to help you.”
“Youting, I mean, I won’t go back. I want to stay here.”
Yin Youting opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. As a matter of fact, Yin Youting still had a glimmer of hope during the past three years. However, Qin Muxuan’s words shattered his last bit of hope.
“Youting, if it’s too hard for you, just forget about it. I can think of another way by myself.” Hearing no response from Yin Youting, Qin Muxuan started to wonder if she had asked too much.
As she was about to hang up the phone, Yin Youting suddenly spoke,
“That’s all right, Xuan, I respect your choice.”
Qin Muxuan was suddenly overwhelmed by mixed feelings when hearing that. After Yin Youting had helped her so many times, she really didn’t know how to thank him.
“Youting, thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. I’ll try to work this thing out. Then I’ll contact you.”
Qin Muxuan answered with a yes and then hung up the phone.
After that, Qin Muxuan didn’t know why that she didn’t feel so anxious as she had expected she would be but was actually kind of excited about it. As she thought that she could see Qin Xiaobai at any time if she stayed in this country, she couldn’t help smiling.
As for Gu Zijin, she would just wait and see what would happen between him and her next.
When Qin Muxuan went back to the room, she found that Qin Xin had already fallen asleep. As she touched Qin Xin’s little face, she sighed with emotion that Qin Xin and Qin Xiaobai looked so alike.
Qin Muxuan turned off the bedside lamp and held Qin Xin in her arms. Then she also went to sleep.
Next day at noon, Qin Muxuan was sitting behind the desk while keeping an eye on the computer screen. Since she had already decided to stay, she should at least find an apartment first.
Seeing her being like this, Jian Xi couldn’t help saying, “Have you really decided?”
“Yes, I can’t escape forever.” After last night, Qin Muxuan had thought a lot of things through. She then gave a smile to Jian Xi.
Jian Xi looked at Qin Muxuan and returned a smile too. Since Qin Muxuan had already made a choice, Jian Xi knew that it was unnecessary for her to be worried.
At the thought of that, Jian Xi looked down at Qin Xin who was playing toys on the sofa, “Xiaoxin, if you stay here with your mommy, you can’t see me very often.” Jian Xi was loath to part with them.
Qin Xin, after hearing that, nodded seriously,”I’ll miss you, Xixi mother.”
Qin Xin had no feelings about Qin Muxuan’s decision of staying in City A. For the girl, she could go to any place as long as Qin Muxuan was with her.
Jian Xi rubbed Qin Xin’s hair and said, “I’ll miss you too.”
As Jian Xi looked at Qin Xin’s little face, she also wanted to stay here with them. After all, Qin Group would go bankrupt very soon and she would become a loafer. Actually, having a fresh new start in City A seemed like a good choice for her.
As she thought of that, she said to Qin Muxuan, “Xuan, what do you say if I don’t leave either?”
Qin Muxuan got dazed as she heard that. In fact, it really was not a bad choice for Jian Xi to stay according to the current situation of the Qin Group.
As Qin Muxuan was about to reply to Jian Xi, her phone suddenly started to buzz. She found that the call was from Yin Youting and picked up the phone at once.
“Youting.”
“Xuan, I’ve already asked someone to make some arrangements for you. Have you considered being an actress?”
Qin Muxuan was a bit startled because she never realized that he would ask that. “Youting, you mean…”
“Don’t you want to stay with Xiaobai? I’ve ordered someone to make a new identity for you. This time, you can go back to City A as the popular actress from Country M.” Yin Youting knew that Qin Muxuan wanted to meet Qin Xiaobai more, so he had come up with that idea. To make that plan work, he had asked a favor from his friends in City A and even used some of the Yin family’s connections.
“Really?!” Qin Muxuan got excited right after she heard Yin Youting’s words. This meant that she would have a chance to act in the same play with Qin Xiaobai without being questioned about her identity.
“Youting, I really have to thank you this time. When will you come back to City A? We should have dinner together.” Qin Muxuan knew that she could never repay Yin Youting for what he had done for her. The only thing she could do was offering him a treat.
“OK.” As Yin Youting heard Qin Muxuan’s delighted voice, he also felt his mood being lightened.
After they chatted for a short while, they then hung up the phone.
