Chapter 284: A Married Man
“Mr. Leng, we’ll go back then.” Qin Muxuan said to Leng Aotian.
“OK, see you next time.” Leng Aotian said with a smile.
As he reached out his hand to Qin Muxuan, she held his hand too. After they bid farewell to each other, Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi left together.
When they reached the door of the hotel, they saw Gu Zijin standing there. Qin Muxuan only glanced at Gu Zijin and then headed to her van as if she hadn’t seen him.
“Muxuan.” Gu Zijin’s voice suddenly sounded by Qin Muxuan’s ear.
Qin Muxuan’s hands clenched. Then she turned around and said in a cold voice, “Mr. Gu, I think I have made it very clear that I am Qin Xuan, not Qin Muxuan.”
Qin Muxuan’s indifferent reply saddened the look in Gu Zijin’s eyes. He gave a resigned chuckle and said to Qin Muxuan,
“Miss Qin, can we have a talk?”
Qin Muxuan gave a little start. After a long while, she turned to Jian Xi, “You can wait for me in the car.”
“OK.” Hearing that, Jian Xi got in the car to leave some space for Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan.
Jian Xi knew that they needed a closure this time.
After Jian Xi got into the car, Qin Muxuan looked to Gu Zijin, “What do you want me for, Mr. Gu?”
“Muxuan…”
Qin Muxuan felt a pain in her heart hearing that name. However, she still said to Gu Zijin with a calm look, “It looks like there is nothing we can talk about now, Mr. Gu.” Saying that, Qin Muxuan turned around and wanted to leave.
The look on Qin Muxuan’s face was so resolute as if she really didn’t know him. Gu Zijin bounded forward to stop Qin Muxuan at once.
“Mr. Gu, out of the way, please.” Qin Muxuan felt that if Gu Zijin kept pestering her, she really couldn’t control her feelings anymore.
At first, Qin Muxuan had only wanted to tell Gu Zijin that she had nothing to do with Qin Muxuan. However, as she looked at Gu Zijin, she realized that he wouldn’t believe anything she said.
Obviously, Gu Zijin firmly believed Qin Xuan to be Qin Muxuan, which really bothered her.
“Muxuan, I don’t know why you have become Qin Xuan, but can you please give me another chance?” Gu Zijin had been blaming himself for what happened to Qin Muxuan three years ago. If he had protected her well, things wouldn’t have become like this.
“Mr. Gu, I heard that you have already got married. Please mind your words.” Qin Muxuan’s eyes turned slightly red when she said that. She had to admit that she still couldn’t forget about Gu Zijin.
When Gu Zijin had uttered those words, for one second, Qin Muxuan had wanted to agree with him. However, she couldn’t do that. Gu Zijin had already married Yan Yuxiao. Also, Qin Xiaobai had finally accepted the fact that she had died.
Hearing her mentioning Yan Yuxiao, Gu Zijin showed a dejected look on his face. He wanted to explain everything to her but didn’t know what to say.
After a long while of silence, Qin Muxuan then turned around to get into her car since Gu Zijin wasn’t saying anything.
“Jian Xi, let’s go.” The moment Qin Muxuan got into the car, her tears fell down right away.
Seeing Qin Muxuan like this, Jian Xi really wanted to ask something but finally gave up that thought. “OK.” Jian Xi answered.
Then she asked the driver to take them to their hotel.
On the way back, Qin Muxuan didn’t say anything. Gu Zijin’s words kept echoing in her head, making her utterly sorrowful.
Jian Xi also felt upset as she saw Qin Muxuan being so sad but didn’t know how to comfort the latter.
After around half an hour, Jian Xi and Qin Muxuan finally stood in front of the door of the hotel.
Qin Muxuan collected herself in order to make sure that Qin Xin wouldn’t see her sad face. Then she got off the car and walked into the hotel.
They both went back to Qin Muxuan’s room. Jian Xi didn’t return to her own room because she worried about Qin Muxuan’s condition.
As Qin Muxuan opened the door, Qin Xin ran to her immediately, “Mommy, I thought you wouldn’t come back.” Qin Xin said to Qin Muxuan with a crying face.
Qin Muxuan stroked Qin Xin’s head. Seeing Qin Xin truly cheered her up. “Sorry, Xiaoxin, I did have something to deal with. Sorry that I have come back late.”
Qin Muxuan took Qin Xin up and walked to the sofa.
“Mommy, don’t you love me anymore? Now you only take Xixi Mother with you when you are out.” Qin Xin, lips curled, seemed to be complaining that Qin Muxuan had left her in the hotel alone.
Qin Muxuan gave Jian Xi a helpless look and then said to Qin Xin softly, “How can I not like you, Xiaoxin? I was working just now, so I couldn’t take you with me.”
“All right, I forgive you this time.” Qin Xin showed a smile after learning that Qin Muxuan hadn’t left her in the hotel alone on purpose.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Qin Muxuan touched Qin Xin’s little face. She knew that she wouldn’t have much time to take care of Qin Xin from now on. However, letting Qin Xin stay in the hotel every day would also make Qin Muxuan worried.
“Xuan, I’ll visit the apartment with you when we are both free.” Jian Xi had already planned to stay in City A. Still, she hadn’t told Qin Muxuan this decision yet.
“That’s great. I happened to find an agreeable neighborhood lately.” Qin Muxuan agreed breezily. She thought that Jian Xi only wanted to accompany her to see the apartment.
“Which neighborhood? 3 rooms or 2 rooms altogether? I wonder if it could accommodate me too.” Jian Xi leaned on the back of the couch and said slowly.
Qin Muxuan froze for a second. Only then did she realize that Jian Xi had also chosen to stay here.
“You won’t go back to Country M?”
“The company is already gone. Where should I go back?”
As Jian Xi mentioned the company, the look on Qin Muxuan’s face changed. There wasn’t enough time left for her, but she still hadn’t found a new buyer.
“However, I might have to go back after a few days.” While saying that, Jian Xi looked to Qin Muxuan. The latter was frowning now, seeming to be worry about the acquisition of the company. Then Jian Xi said, “I’ve found a new buyer.”
“Really?” Hearing that, Qin Muxuan flashed a joyful look right away.
“Of course. The buyer is an entrepreneur in Country M. I think you’ve heard of her too, her name is Andy.”
Andy?
Qin Muxuan did know about that person. Andy was a legend in this industry. She became a famous designer right after she had graduated from college. Within one year, she had established her own company. Also, the designs from her company always ranked first in Country M.
“How did you manage to get in touch with her?” Qin Muxuan never realized that the person who wanted to purchase her company was Andy.
“From a friend’s introduction.” Jian Xi said in a flat tone.
“Jian Xi, I really have to thank you this time.” Qin Muxuan felt her mood lightened a little.
“I didn’t do this for you. I am the biggest shareholder of the company after all.” Jian Xi was telling the truth. If the company went bankrupt and lost money, Qin Muxuan would be the person who suffered the greatest loss, followed by Jian Xi.
Even so, Qin Muxuan was still very grateful to Jian Xi deep down.
“I’ll discuss the operation with Andy then. You can stay in City A with relief.” Jian Xi and Andy had already made an appointment next Monday.
“OK.” Qin Muxuan nodded.
Actually, Qin Muxuan wanted to meet Andy by herself. However, she really didn’t have the time to do that. Then, Jian Xi could only go back alone.
“By the way, if you start shooting, what will you do with Xiaoxin?”
Jian Xi’s words reminded Qin Muxuan. If she went to act in the film, no one would look after Qin Xin. However, Qin Muxuan also couldn’t take Qin Xin to the shooting site. For a minute, Qin Muxuan was at a loss.
“You can ask Mu Ming to take care of Xiaoxin these days.” Seeing the anxious look on Qin Muxuan’s face, Jian Xi suggested that.
Qin Muxuan hesitated. “Doesn’t Mu Ming have to work? It’s not like he could take Xiaoxin to his company.”
“But that’s the best solution now. I have to go back to Country M tomorrow afternoon. You can’t leave Xiaoxin in the hotel alone.”
Today was Saturday already, so Jian Xi had to go back to Country M tomorrow to discuss the cooperation with Andy.
“Well, it seems that I could only bother Mu Ming.” Qin Muxuan’s voice sounded very helpless. Before she could find an appropriate apartment, she could only send Qin Xin to Mu Ming.
After Jian Xi heard that, she raised her hand to check her watch, finding it was almost eleven o’clock. “Then I’ll call Mu Ming tomorrow and tell him about this.”
Qin Muxuan nodded. It was too late indeed. It was better to call Mu Ming tomorrow.
Qin Xin yawned and asked Qin Muxuan with her big eyes blinking, “Mommy, will you send me to Uncle Mu?”
After Qin Xin had listened to the conversation between Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi for a long time, she almost got a clue of what they were talking about.
“Yes, mommy will be very busy for the next few days. Uncle Mu will take care of you, is that OK?” Qin Muxuan looked to Qin Xin with an apologetic expression in her eyes. She only regretted that she hadn’t made full preparation for everything.
“OK. Mommy, you don’t have to worry about me. I can take care of myself too.” Qin Xin seemed to detect that Qin Muxuan was blaming herself, and then she coaxed the latter.
Qin Xin seldom let Qin Muxuan get worried, just like Qin Xiaobai. Just because of this, Qin Muxuan felt that she owed them more.
Qin Muxuan kissed on Qin Xin’s forehead and said in a tender voice, “Xiaoxin, my good girl. Can I take you to sleep?”
Qin Xin was truly a bit drowsy now. Normally, she would have already gone to sleep before 10 o’clock. Today she had only stayed up to eleven o’clock in order to wait for Qin Muxuan.
