Chapter 288: You Are Alive
Gu Zijin slowly pulled over outside the filming site and got out of the car.
“Zijin!” A familiar female voice came up, which made Gu Zijin frown.
Yan Yuxiao knew Qin Xiaobai was here. She had wondered whether she would run into Gu Zijin or not. Fortunately, she met him.
Ignoring the woman, the man stepped into the filming site. Yan Yuxiao hastily followed him.
“Zijin, let’s have a meal later. Xiaobai likes fried chicken. We can take him to KFC.”
Giggling, Yan Yuxiao kept nagging. However, she didn’t notice that Gu Zijin pulled a long face.
“Fuck off.” Gu Zijin didn’t bother to glance at her.
Yan Yuxiao had been refused by Gu Zijin a thousand times since Qin Muxuan passed away, but she was reluctant to give up on him. Hearing that, Yan Yuxiao felt downhearted. “Zijin, you still can’t get over Qin Muxuan, right? She has been dead for nearly 4 years!”
Gu Zijin’s brows were knitted when Yan Yuxiao mentioned Qin Muxuan.
However, Qin Xiaobai’s voice rose as soon as Gu Zijin was about to lose his temper. “Dad!”
Qin Muxuan hadn’t expected that she would come across Gu Zijin. The child had said his father wouldn’t be here. Her eyes met Gu Zijin’s. The woman was petrified.
In fact, Qin Xiaobai hadn’t deceived Qin Muxuan. The boy hadn’t expected that Gu Zijin would come to pick him up.
“Daddy, I will have lunch with Ms. Qin today.” Wrapping around his father with chubby little hands, the child raised his head and smirked.
Yan Yuxiao who stood beside Gu Zijin glanced at Qin Muxuan. She was petrified.
‘Qin Muxuan?’
Yan Yuxiao shouted at Qin Muxuan subconsciously. “Qin Muxuan, you’re still alive?”
Starting at Yan Yuxiao, Qin Muxuan clenched her bag. She grinned. “Sorry, you’ve gotten the wrong person. I’m Qin Xuan, not Qin Muxuan.”
‘Qin Xuan.’
Yan Yuxiao scowled. She eyeballed the woman before her. However, the woman was different from Qin Muxuan in Yan Yuxiao’s memory. ‘What a coincidence! Their names are similar.’
Yan Yuxiao had suspected, but she recalled the doctor’s words three years ago. She had heard personally that Qin Muxuan did not survive after the doctor tried to save her. Considering that, Yan Yuxiao became relieved. ‘It seems that she just resembles Qin Muxuan.’
“Sorry, Ms. Qin.” Yan Yuxiao apologized.
“It’s okay.”
“Daddy, why does that woman come here with you?” Qin Xiaobai threw a disdainful glimpse at Yan Yuxiao. Apparently, he didn’t want to see her.
Hearing that, Yan Yuxiao couldn’t maintain her smile. However, she had to suppress her wrath in Gu Zijin’s presence. “Xiaobai, I’m here to pick you up. Would you like to have lunch with us?”
“No way.” Qin Xiaobai replied impassively, not intending to save her face.
The kid turned to Qin Muxuan and gave a smile. “Ms. Qin, let’s go to have lunch.”
Peeping at Gu Zijin, Qin Muxuan hesitated. The man seemed to see her through. He walked over.
Staring at Gu Zijin before her, Qin Muxuan was nervous. ‘What does he want to do? Does he still think I’m Qin Muxuan?’
“Ms. Qin, sorry for what I did last time.”
Gu Zijin’s apology stunned Qin Muxuan. However, she suddenly realized that Gu Zijin had believed that she was not Qin Muxuan. Although she didn’t know the reason, it was good news for her.
“Never mind.” Qin Muxuan grinned, but she felt disappointed.
Lisa had handed Qin Xuan’s records of three years ago to Gu Zijin this morning. They said she had been in collage in M Country. Gu Zijin had suspected Qin Xuan, but the records made him abandon that thought immediately.
“I’d like to invite you for lunch as an apology.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan considered that she would be cutesy if she refused. ‘It’s just a lunch.’ Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan nodded.
Gu Zijin led them away immediately after receiving the hint.
“Zijin!” Yan Yuxiao hadn’t expected that Gu Zijin would dine with Qin Muxuan. She was jealous.
The man ignored Yan Yuxiao. He opened the door for Qin Muxuan and got into the car after her. Jian Xi, as Qin Muxuan’s assistant, didn’t follow them. She went back to the hotel.
Yan Yuxiao was left alone at the entrance of the filming site. Glaring at the direction where Gu Zijin’s car left, she gnashed viciously.
‘Qin Xuan, right? Don’t blame me for attacking you since you seduce Zijin…’
Yan Yuxiao gritted her teeth. ‘I can’t rival that bitch, but I’m way better than Qin Xuan.’
On the other side, Qin Muxuan was unaware that she had been targeted by Yan Yuxiao again. Sitting in the backseat, she discussed with Qin Xiaobai the script.
“Ms. Qin, you’re really an excellent actress.” The kid had never admired an actress. However, he didn’t know it was Qin Muxuan’s first time to act in a film.
“Xiaobai’s gorgeous, too. You have numerous fans.” Qin Muxuan chuckled.
Qin Xiaobai’s eyes twinkled after he heard that. “Are you one of them?”
Qin Muxuan was surprised. She then stretched out her hand to stroke the boy’s head. “Of course. I like you.”
Hearing that, Qin Xiaobai beamed delightedly.
Gu Zijin glimpsed at Qin Xiaobai in the rearview mirror. The boy’s bright smile delighted the man. ‘I’ve never seen him smile so joyfully since his mother passed away.’
‘But that woman’s not Qin Muxuan. It’s true, isn’t it?’
Although the records provided by Lisa showed that Qin Xuan and Qin Muxuan were two different persons, Gu Zijin thought they were alike.
However, Gu Zijin’s phone beeped as he was contemplating, which interrupted his thoughts. He took out his phone from the pocket instantly and answered the call.
“Mr. Gu.” Lisa’s voice came from the other side of the phone.
“What’s wrong?”
“It seems that Ms. Qin has found a new purchaser in M Country.” Gu Zijin had asked Lisa to keep an eye on Qin Xuan, so she called her boss first when she received the news.
Hearing that, Gu Zijin was stunned. He realized that Qin Xuan started shooting a film because she had addressed the problem.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay, I know that. Drop it.” Gu Zijin said apathetically.
Lisa obeyed in confusion. After hanging up, Gu Zijin pondered how to persuade Qin Xuan to cooperate with him.
Qin Muxuan had already known the former purchaser was Gu Zijin, but he was unaware of that. The man was contemplating how to explain to her. After all, he had asked all giant corporations in A City not to acquire Qin Muxuan’s company before he met her.
After a while, they arrived at a restaurant. Gu Zijin pulled over at the entrance of the restaurant. He then got out of the car to open the door for Qin Muxuan.
The woman didn’t get used to that. She gave him a smile. “Thank you.”
They strolled into the restaurant. Noticing Gu Zijin, a waiter immediately came up and led them upstairs to a private room.
The waiter offered Qin Muxuan a menu. Scanning the list, Qin Muxuan ordered some dishes which she was not that into on purpose. Hearing that, Gu Zijin who sat opposite her became downcast.
‘It turns out that she’s not Qin Muxuan.’
Noticing his expression, Qin Muxuan knew that Gu Zijin finally surrendered. She became relieved.
After the man and the kid finished ordering food, the waiter left to prepare the dishes.
Gazing at Qin Muxuan, Gu Zijin asked slowly. “I’ve heard that Ms. Qin plans to live and work here. Is it true?”
Qin Muxuan hadn’t expected the question. She nodded. “Yes, I like here.”
“Well, I can show you around if possible. There are plenty of interesting places here.”
Although the woman had no intention to get Gu Zijin involved in her life, she had no choice but to agree under such circumstances. “Great. I appreciate that, Mr. Gu.” However, she wouldn’t show up.
“I’d like to go with you!” Hearing their conversation, Qin Xiaobai became thrilled immediately.
“Ms. Qin, we can hang out after we finish the movie!”
Qin Xiaobai stared at her with expectation, which troubled Qin Muxuan. She couldn’t reject her adorable son. ‘It will be two months later when we shoot our final scenes. I can find an excuse at that time.’ The woman decided inwardly.
“Okay.” Qin Muxuan grinned.
A smile lit up the boy’s eyes. “Daddy, I’ll join you!” Exclaimed Qin Xiaobai cheerfully.
“Mmm.” Gu Zijin was infected with the child’s high spirits. A smile lifted the corner of the man’s mouth.
