Chapter 294: Take Care of the Girl
Qin Muxuan seldom asked him for help, so he was delighted when hearing that.
Pondering for a while, the woman pleaded. “Youting, I wanna entrust Xin to you. I’m afraid that Gu Zijin will take her back if he recognizes her.” She fidgeted.
The man hadn’t expected that. He chuckled. “Okay. No worries. I’ll take care of her.”
In fact, Yin Youting had decided to stay in China for a long time although the person in charge of the branch in M country hadn’t been decided yet. During this period, he would be in China. Therefore, he could look after Qin Xin.
“I appreciate that, Youting.” Qin Muxuan gave him a grateful look. She hadn’t expected that he would consent without hesitation.
“Mommy! Are you gonna abandon me?” Qin Xin spat out.
The mother turned to her, explaining. “I have to work, so I don’t have time to accompany you. I’m so sorry, Xin. Uncle Yin will take care of you these days, okay?”
“Then… Mommy, you should come to see me every day!”
“Of course, I will.”
Qin Xin finally agreed after having her mother’s promise. She knew Qin Muxuan might be occupied by work later. In addition, the girl was unwilling to impede her mother’s work, so she consented though she was reluctant to do so.
Qin Xin was sensitive, which stung Qin Muxuan’s heart. ‘I hope I could accompany her every day, but I might have to meet Gu Zijin since I’m in the same filming crew with Xiaobai. Gu Zijin has recognized me. If he does some investigations, he will easily find Qin Xin.’
Rubbing the kid’s head, Qin Muxuan was determined. ‘I will never let him discover her.’
“Xuan, I might not stay in the hotel for a long time. I will take Xin to my home later.” Yin Youting didn’t inform his father that he had returned. However, Yin Tiancheng would receive the news soon. Yin Youting had to move back home at that time.
The man’s words reminded Qin Muxuan. “All right. I’ll visit your home after finishing the shooting every day.” The woman responded subconsciously.
“Okay.” An enchanting smile crept up Yin Youting’s face.
He raised his hand to check the time. ‘It’s time.’ He had asked a waiter to do him a favor. The man dropped the knife and fork in his hands, peering at the woman who sat opposite him.
A waiter walked slowly with a food truck on which there was a bouquet of roses.
Qin Muxuan was attracted by that. Her eyes followed the truck. She thought someone would propose here, but she hadn’t expected that it was Yin Youting. ‘God!’ Exclaimed her inwardly. She noticed the waiter walked over and stopped before her.
Taking the bouquet tenderly from the truck, Yin Youting rose to his feet and got down on one knee in front of her. “Xuan.”
The woman was stunned. She threw him an astonished gaze.
‘Is he gonna propose to me?’
“I know you haven’t gotten over Gu Zijin, but… Please gimme a chance, okay?” Holding the roses in one hand, he took a ring out from his pocket.
“Xin needs a father, Xuan.” Yin Youting stared at her affectionately.
People around curiously peered at them, which flurried Qin Muxuan. She had no idea.
“Youting, I…”
She had considered to be with Yin Youting. ‘I haven’t forgotten Gu Zijin. It’s unfair to Youting.’
However, she hesitated when he mentioned Qin Xin. When they had been in M country, neighbors had gossiped about Qin Muxuan and her daughter because she had had a baby out of wedlock.
‘I didn’t care about that, but Xin was 3 years old at that time. She didn’t deserve that.’
“Xuan, marry me.” Yin Youting gazed at Qin Muxuan, waiting for her answer.
“Youting, sorry.” Qin Muxuan replied apologetically while tilting her head. ‘I can’t do that. It’s unfair to him.’
The sparkle in Yin Youting’s eyes vanished after he was refused. He then rose to his feet and sat back on the chair.
In fact, the man knew she wouldn’t consent, but he dreamed that if luck would fall on him. Therefore, he had planned to propose to Qin Muxuan today.
“It’s okay, Xuan. I can wait.” Yin Youting composed himself, grinning to Qin Muxuan.
His words made her feel guiltier.
Qin Xin didn’t understand the atmosphere between the two adults. She buried her head in the dishes.
After finishing their dinner, the three left the restaurant. Yin Youting drove them back to the hotel.
He stared at Qin Muxuan when they stopped in front of Qin Muxuan’s room. “Xuan, I hope you would consider. Tell me your decision later.” Yin Youting implied his proposal.
“I’ll drive you to the filming site tomorrow.” Before Qin Muxuan could answer, the man continued.
The woman had planned to reject him, but she hesitated after noticing his expression. At the end, she nodded. “All right. Thank you.”
“It’s okay. I should go. Have a sweet dream.”
Qin Muxuan nodded. He then left. She closed the door, noticing the girl was sitting on the sofa. ‘Youting’s right. Xin needs a father,’ thought Qin Muxuan.
‘If he becomes Xin’s father, Xin will accept him easily.’ The woman sighed inwardly. It was hard for her to make such a decision.
“Mommy! I wanna take a shower.” Qin Xin turned around and said to her mother.
“Okay, my princess needs a bubble bath.” Qin Muxuan beamed. She walked over and scooped the kid up. They headed towards the bathroom.
The mother poured the water into the tub after trying the water temperature. Fixing her eyes on Qin Xin, Qin Muxuan started woolgathering again.
“Mommy! The tub overflows!”
After a while, Qin Xin’s crispy voice rose.
Getting her wits together, Qin Muxuan turned off the tap. “Sorry, I’ve gotten a few things on my mind. It’s time to wash you clean.” The mother said gently.
The kid nodded. She stripped herself naked and meekly crouched down in the tub. Her mother tenderly covered her body with soft bubbles.
Half an hour later, Qin Muxuan rubbed Qin Xin’s hair with a dry tower.
“Mommy, does Uncle Yin want to be my father?” The girl looked up at her mother and asked out of the blue.
Qin Muxuan hadn’t expected that Qin Xin would catch Yin Youting’s words. The woman stared at the girl, “Xin, do you want him to be your father?”
Hearing that, Qin Xin contemplated for a while. “Mommy, I’d like to be Uncle Yin’s daughter.” She had always longed for a father, for every kid had one, but she didn’t.
The kid’s words hurt the woman’s heart. Qin Muxuan hugged Qin Xin heartbreakingly, “Sorry, Xin. It’s all my fault…” The torrent of words flowed sobbingly. Tears were streaming down the mother’s cheeks.
Noticing that, the girl stretched out her chubby hands to awkwardly wipe away her mother’s tears. “Don’t cry, mommy. I only need you, and I don’t want a dad.” Thinking it was her words that reduced Qin Muxuan to tears, Qin Xin reproached herself in mind.
The woman’s tears welled up again after she heard that.
“Don’t cry, mommy. I’ll stay with you forever.” Qin Xin stroked Qin Muxuan’s face.From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay, I won’t cry anymore.” After rubbing her eyes, Qin Muxuan beamed.
Qin Xin giggled. “Let’s go to bed, mommy. I’m sleepy.”
“All right, my little princess.” Qin Muxuan scooped the kid up, walking towards the bed. She then lied down beside her daughter and cuddled the girl in her arms. Qin Xin didn’t ask Qin Muxuan to tell stories and quickly fell asleep.
Qing Muxuan gazed at the Sleeping Beauty in her arms. There was nothing sleepy in her eyes. Qin Muxuan was considering whether to say yes to Yin Youting or not.
‘If I haven’t gotten married until Xin’s going to school, I’m afraid she will find it difficult to fit in.’
‘She might encounter the situation that Xiaobai was in before.’
Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan gradually dropped off to sleep.
Just as Qin Muxuan and Qin Xin finished their breakfast the next morning, Yin Youting came.
“Uncle Yin!” Qin Xin exclaimed with a smile.
“I’ll protect our little princess today. Your mom needs to work.” Yin Youting hunkered down and stroked Qin Xin’s head.
“Okay!” Qin Xin nodded obediently.
Seeing that, the man turned to Qin Muxuan, “Xuan, I’ll drive you to the filming site.”
The woman checked the time. The shooting started an hour later, so she nodded.
The three went downstairs. Yin Youting drove Qin Muxuan to the place.
Sitting in the car, the girl looked up at her mother. “Mommy, are you gonna film the whole day?”
“Yep. I’ll be back at night.”
“Well, remember to have meals. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be a good girl.” Qin Xin said solemnly as if she were an adult.
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan was touched. She nodded and chuckled. “Yes, madam.”
