Chapter 348: An Eye for An Eye
After her hair was dried, Qin Muxuan felt a little embarrassed. She quickly stood up and hurriedly said, “I’ll go check on Xiaobai and Xiaoxin!”
“I’ll go with you,” Gu Zijin stood up too.
Qin Muxuan wanted to refuse but she didn’t say anything when she saw how perseverant Gu Zijin looked.
The two of them walked to the door of Xiaobai’s room. Qin Muxuan carefully opened the door. Only a small night lamp was on in the room. Xiaobai and Xiaoxin were asleep on the bed.
Xiaoxin nestled in her brother’s arms, looking contented. Qin Muxuan smiled. Nothing would make her happier than seeing that they got along with each other so well.
Not wanting to wake them up, Qin Muxuan shut the door reluctantly.
“Come on, let’s go back and get some sleep,” Gu Zijin said as he turned around and was ready to go back to the bedroom.
Right then, all that was on Qin Muxuan’s mind was the word “sleep” and she stood still.
Seeing that Qin Muxuan hadn’t come with him, Gu Zijin turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Muxuan frowned and thought about it for a while; then she said weakly, “How about I go to the guest room tonight?” Although the two of them could be considered to be an old couple as they’d already had two children together, Qin Muxuan still felt a little flustered when she thought about how she had looked under the effect of the medicine.
Seeing how conflicted Qin Muxuan looked, Gu Zijin knew what she was thinking about. He couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you tonight. To be fair, you obviously quite enjoyed it today.”
Gu Zijin had the nerve to make fun of her. Qin Muxuan suddenly felt pissed off. She snorted and went straight to the room without ever looking at Gu Zijin. You think I mind it? After all we’ve slept together for so many times!
Qin Muxuan turned over the quilt, got in and shut her eyes, ready to sleep. Then she felt Gu Zijin lay in too. He stretched his arm out and wrapped her tightly in his arms.
Though Qin Muxuan was unwilling, she did not reject it too much. Seeing Qin Muxuan’s reaction, Gu Zijin was relieved. He was afraid that she would still be indifferent and distant to him like before. Whenever she was like that, he’d feel helpless and sad.
He didn’t expect that he would ever experience the feeling of helplessness in this lifetime.
“What about Yan Yuxiao?” Qin Muxuan held it for a while before asking.
Gu Zijin’s eyes darkened and his words were cold. “Don’t worry. She will get what she deserves this time.”
Qin Muxuan was still a little doubtful, “What about Elderly Lady Gu?” After all, Yan Yuxiao had done so many bad things before, but Elderly Lady Gu still protected her.
“She dared to harm Xiaobai and Xiaoxin this time. There’s no reason for Grandma to protect her. Don’t worry. She won’t have the chance to hurt you again.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan finally relaxed and didn’t say anything.
“Muxuan, about my dad…”
Qin Muxuan opened her eyes and looked at Gu Zijin when she heard Gu Zijin mention Gu Heng.
Seeing the panic and pleading in Qin Muxuan’s eyes, Gu Zijin felt a little distressed, “Muxuan, Xiaoxin won’t leave you. I will handle it well. I’m sorry. I failed to protect you.”
Qin Muxuan heard the firmness and promise in Gu Zijin’s words. She slowly wrapped his waist and buried her face deeper into his arms, “Thank you, Gu Zijin.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Gu Zijin’s heart trembled and he hugged Qin Muxuan even tighter. This time, he would never let her leave him. Four years was already long enough!
Qin Muxuan thought that she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep tonight after sleeping for so long in the daytime, but for some reason, she felt at ease in Gu Zijin’s arms and soon fell asleep.

On the other side, in a warehouse, Yan Yuxiao was casually thrown to the ground, blindfolded, mouth covered with the packaging tape and both of her hands and legs tied up.
No one knew how long it had been before Yan Yuxiao finally woke up. She felt the darkness and she started to struggle, letting out groans.
The tape on Yan Yuxiao’s mouth was torn off. She cried out in pain and started to curse, “Who are you? You bunch of psychopaths! Who told you to kidnap me? Do you know who I am?”
Looking at that stupid woman who had no idea what the future had in store for her, Lisa sneered in contempt and gestured a subordinate nearby to take the blindfold off her eyes.
Yan Yuxiao narrowed her eyes and recognized the person in front of her after getting used to the light. There was a trace of panic on her face, but she wouldn’t admit it, “Why did you tie me up? Let me go now!”
Lisa looked like she was just doing her job, “Miss Yan, I’m following the boss’s orders to make you pay for what you’ve done.”
Hearing that, the expression on Yan Yuxiao’s face couldn’t hold up anymore. Panic and fear were written all over her face, “What you are doing, does Grandmother knows it? I want to see Grandmother! I want to see Grandmother!”
Lisa sneered and she started to talk bluntly, “Yan Yuxiao, you still don’t get it, do you? You kidnapped a young master and a young lady of the Gu Family, and you expect that Elderly Lady Gu would protect you? You’re really the most stupid woman I’ve ever seen!”
Yan Yuxiao was so angry that her lips trembled, “You bastard, aren’t you just a dog following Gu Zijin around? If he tells you to go east, you won’t dare to go west. And you’ve got the nerve to talk to me like this?!”
Even though she didn’t admit defeat, Yan Yuxiao already felt all her hope was gone. Whe she decided to kidnap the descendants of the Gu Family and Qin Muxuan, she had thought about the consequences, but she never imagined it would happen so soon.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Yan Yuxiao’s eyes. “How’s that b*tch doing?” Now she only hoped that the b*tch had been tortured and humiliated by the people she sent.
Lisa knew what Yan Yuxiao wanted to hear and she sneered, “No harm has been done to Miss Qin. President Gu saved her.”
Yan Yuxiao’s face became distorted. She originally thought that neither of them would win in this situation; instead the b*tch was unharmed.
With complete despair, Yan Yuxiao’s heart was filled with fear, “I want to see Grandmother, I want to see Grandmother, I want to see Grandmother!”
Lisa acted as if she hadn’t heard Yan Yuxiao shouting and she gestured to the subordinates nearby, “You know what to do.” And without ever looking back, she left the warehouse.
The fear in Yan Yuxiao’s heart grew more and more intense. She repeated shouting “I want to see Grandmother” but no one paid attention to her.
Until her voice was hoarse, Yan Yuxiao saw the bodyguards walking in with a group of people.
Those people wore shabby clothes and their whole body emitted a stench. No one knew how long it had been since the last time they took a shower. When they saw Yan Yuxiao, greed appeared on their faces.
Yan Yuxiao soon realized what this was all about and she started to struggle, but soon the group of people rushed over to pull off her clothes.
Soon, Yan Yuxiao’s voice changed from cursing to begging and crying, until it was completely annihilated.
