Chapter 378: Kiss Me Goodbye
When Qin Muxuan heard the makeup artist address her as “Miss Qin” instead of “Xiao Xuan”, and when she saw her carefully closing the door, she felt quite speechless.
Qin Muxuan looked at Gu Zijin reproachfully. “What are you doing here?”
Gu Zijin pretended not to understand what Qin Muxuan meant, “I brought Xiaobai here.”
Qin Muxuan secretly rolled her eyes, “Didn’t I tell you not to come here?”
“I’m here because of Xiaobai, not you,” Gu Zijin said matter-of-factly.
Qin Muxuan was speechless. She found it impossible for her to refute that.
“Alright, then you can leave after you brought him here. What are you doing here in my dressing room?” With him maintaining such a high profile, she felt that people’s attitudes towards her would become even stranger.
Gu Zijin raised an eyebrow and asked coldly, “Are you not happy that I’m here?”
Of course, Qin Muxuan sensed Gu Zijin’s displeasure and she quickly shook her head. “No, no, why would I be unhappy?”
Gu Zijin’s expression softened and he pointed at the box on the table. “I brought you some food.”
Qin Muxuan was curious about what it was. She opened the box and saw a piece of matcha cake inside, which looked very delicate and delicious.
Qin Muxuan felt a hint of sweetness in her heart. “Thank you. It looks delicious.”
Gu Zijin smiled, “Mmm.”
Qin Muxuan asked wonderingly, “Where’s Xiaobai?” He said that he brought Xiaobai here. Why was that she only saw Gu Zijin?
“He’s with the assistant.”
Qin Muxuan thought for a moment and said, “The producer said I could use this room exclusively. You can tell Xiaobai to come and stay here with me.”
Even though she couldn’t let others find out the true relationship between her and Xiaobai, Qin Muxuan still wanted to spend more time with Xiaobai. Since Gu Zijin had paid her a visit, it wouldn’t be a problem if she and Xiaobai appeared to be closer.
Gu Zijin nodded. “Sure.”
Qin Muxuan felt a bit uneasy because she was on the set. She could imagine that people were talking about them outside the dressing room.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“Don’t you have work to do? If you’re busy, you should go back,” Qin Muxuan started to drive him away euphemistically.
“It’s okay. I’m the boss,” said Gu Zijin flatly.
Qin Muxuan was made speechless again. Alright, the boss can do whatever he wants.
“But I’m very busy. I need to have my makeup done, and I’m going to shoot later,” Qin Muxuan stopped beating around the bush and tried to make him go away in a straightforward way.
Gu Zijin finally got it and he decided not to disturb Qin Muxuan. “Okay, I’m leaving then.”
Qin Muxuan looked at Gu Zijin, who was still standing there, and she was very speechless, “Is there anything else?”
Gu Zijin didn’t say anything. He just bent down and placed his hands on both sides of Qin Muxuan’s stool. Qin Muxuan subconsciously wanted to retreat but the stool was held tightly by him and she couldn’t move.
Originally with Gu Zijin standing and Qin Muxuan sitting, Gu Zijin looked downwards at her. But now, Gu Zijin bent down and looked into Qin Muxuan’s eyes, which made Qin Muxuan feel that she was being cornered.
“What are you doing?” Qin Muxuan sounded alert.
Gu Zijin squinted and touched Qin Muxuan’s lips with one of his fingers, “Kiss me goodbye.”
Qin Muxuan was just about to say something but Gu Zijin didn’t give her a chance. He lowered his head and kissed her.
Gu Zijin’s kiss was so strong and passionate. His slightly cold tongue entered her mouth, and he greedily took in her breath and explored every nook and cranny.
It wasn’t until Qin Muxuan felt that she was about to be suffocated that Gu Zijin let go of her lips. However, the two of them still had their foreheads support each other, and they could feel each other’s hot breaths.
“I’ll pick you up after it’s over?” Gu Zijin sounded somewhat unusually sexy.
Qin Muxuan regained her senses and shook her head slightly. “Don’t. If you do that, the whole crew would gossip about it again.”
Perhaps it was because Gu Zijin had just been satisfied that he was not angry after she rejected him. He just said with a bad temper, “Okay.”
After Gu Zijin left, Qin Muxuan’s mind was still in a state of chaos. Looking at her slightly red face in the mirror, Qin Muxuan felt very embarrassed. She covered her face and let out a low cry. She and Gu Zijin kissed in the dressing room!
Only when she heard the knocking on the door did Qin Muxuan force herself to calm down and patted her face as if nothing had happened.
The makeup artist came in and continued to do the makeup for Qin Muxuan. Though she saw that Qin Muxuan looked as calm as usual, she couldn’t resist the urge to gossip.
The makeup artist pretended to be casual and said, “Xiao Xuan, did President Gu come just to see you?”
“No, he just brought Xiaobai here,” Qin Muxuan would not admit it.
The make-up artist rolled her eyes secretly. No one would buy that! If he wasn’t here to see you, why did he buy you a cake?
Seeing that the makeup artist’s gaze seemed to be fixated on the matcha cake on the table, Qin Muxuan felt a little embarrassed. She felt a guilty conscience because she had just denied it.
Then, no matter how hard the makeup artist tried to get her to confess, Qin Muxuan just didn’t say it.
When Qin Muxuan’s makeup was almost done, Xiaobai came in and saw that there was still a makeup artist in there. Xiaobai kept “Da Bai” from coming out of his mouth and shouted, “Aunty Qin.”
Qin Muxuan felt sad and bitter when she heard that, but she smiled and waved Xiaobai over.
Xiaobai came closer. “I’m here to rehearse with you.” Because both of them had taken a few days off, the focus of the shooting was on Qin Muxuan and Qin Xiaobai’s scenes.
After Qin Muxuan’s makeup was ready, she told the makeup artist to go out.
Seeing the makeup artist go out, Xiaobai immediately threw himself into Qin Muxuan’s arms and shouted, “Mommy!”
Qin Xiaobai usually called Qin Muxuan Da Bai. Now that he called her “mommy” so sweetly, Qin Muxuan’s heart was about to melt.
Qin Muxuan controlled her impulse to rub Qin Xiaobai’s head. She straightened her face and pretended to be serious, “You’re a boy. You can’t act like this!”
Qin Xiaobai suddenly pulled himself out of Qin Muxuan’s arms and looked a little nervous.
Seeing Qin Xiaobai’s expression, Qin Muxuan couldn’t bear it. She softened her voice and said, “You and your dad colluded to keep me in the dark, right?”
Qin Xiaobai was afraid that Qin Muxuan was really angry, so he quickly explained, “No, Dad just wants to see you. I didn’t deliberately hide it from you. Da Bai, don’t get mad!”
Qin Muxuan was not angry in the first place. She had meant to keep a low profile. However, after what Gu Zijin did today, Qin Muxuan decided to let nature take its course.
Qin Muxuan rubbed Xiaobai’s head. “Alright, I’m not mad, but you can’t do this in the future.”
Qin Xiaobai nodded in a hurry.
Once the matter was resolved, the two of them started to rehearse according to the script seriously.
