Chapter 384: Persuasion
Unable to stand it when the two of them were both so serious, Jian Xi smiled and teased, “Okay, my problem is solved. Let’s talk about yours.”
Qin Muxuan was confused. “What problem do I have?”
Jian Xi rolled her eyes, “Stop pretending. What about you and Gu Zijin?”
Qin Muxuan lowered her head and said, “What about us?”
Jian Xi sighed, “Then you plan to stay here forever without formalizing your relationship?”
In fact, Jian Xi said that out of concern for Qin Muxuan. Although she wasn’t there when all that bad stuff happened to her four years ago, she knew how deeply she was hurt, so she didn’t want her to make the same mistake again.
Qin Muxuan hesitated for a moment before saying, “Actually, he proposed to me.”
Jian Xi’s eyes widened. “Did you say yes?!”
Qin Muxuan shook her head. “No, it’s not that simple. Even if I said yes, his family wouldn’t agree.”
Jian Xi felt relieved. “Don’t agree to that so easily. You really have to think it over!”
As if afraid that Qin Muxuan would act on impulse, Jian Xi continued to persuade her, “Although you have two children together, there are many single mothers out there raising their kids on their own. Besides, the Gu Family treated you so badly before. If you get married into that family again, will they have no grudges against you? Your life won’t be easy. In addition, Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao were married in such a high-profile manner. If you are married to Gu Zijin now, think about what other people might say about you. Even though you’re not that popular, you’re still an actress.”
Qin Muxuan noticed that Jian Xi had forgotten what she said earlier to her on the phone. She secretly rolled her eyes, “Didn’t you say that you’d let me make my own choice? You said that we had two children together so we could get back together. Why are you trying to talk me out of it now?”
Jian Xi recalled that she seemed to have said something like that, but she still retorted, “Really? Did I say that? If I did, I wasn’t thinking straight!”
Qin Muxuan sneered and obviously she didn’t buy it.
Jian Xi coughed dryly. “Come on, I’ve got a new insight after what happened to myself and Mu Ming.”
Alright, since she said so, Qin Muxuan decided not to let her go.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
“Who?” Qin Muxuan was startled.
Xiaobai’s voice came from outside the door, “Da Bai, it is me. Dad asked you to go and take a shower.”
Gu Zijin, who was standing next to him, glanced at his son who had betrayed him. Da Bai felt that his father’s look became colder.
Qin Muxuan opened the door and was startled by the sight of Gu Zijin standing at the door.
Gu Zijin’s look turned cold again.
Qin Muxuan calmed herself down. “You go take a shower first. I’ll go later.”
Gu Zijin was a little stubborn, “I’ll wait for you.”
Qin Muxuan looked at Gu Zijin who didn’t look happy at all, and she didn’t dare to go against him. She nodded and replied, “Got it. I’ll go now.”
Gu Zijin turned and left.
Qin Muxuan looked at Xiaobai in bewilderment and asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
Xiaobai shook his head. He could not say that his father had stood at the door for a while and that he had heard how Jian Xi persuaded Qin Muxuan not to be with him.
Seeing that Qin Muxuan hadn’t caught up with him, Gu Zijin turned his head and said coldly, “Get moving already.”
Qin Muxuan was scared but she still insisted, “I will tell Jian Xi.”
She didn’t dare to look at Gu Zijin’s face and turned to Jian Xi, “I’ll go get some clothes for you. You’ll wait here for me.”
Jian Xi waved her hand, as if saying “I got it. Hurry and go”.
Qin Muxuan quickly followed and the two of them closed the door after they entered the room. Just as Qin Muxuan was about to turn on the lights, she felt the whole room was spinning.
Gu Zijin grabbed Qin Muxuan’s wrist, pressed her against the door and kissed her hard.
Qin Muxuan was caught off guard and she almost fell. Luckily Gu Zijin held her waist on time. Just as she opened her mouth, Gu Zijin took the opportunity and stuck his tongue into her mouth.
Qin Muxuan couldn’t resist. And their breathing became a little hurried. It wasn’t until Gu Zijin’s cold hand touched the skin on her waist, which brought Qin Muxuan to her senses that Qin Muxuan pushed Gu Zijin away.
And unexpectedly, Gu Zijin backed off.
Qin Muxuan took a few deep breaths and looked at Gu Zijin angrily, “Gu Zijin, what’s wrong with you?”
Gu Zijin was silent and didn’t say anything.
Qin Muxuan actually felt that Gu Zijin felt himself pitiful. This feeling shouldn’t have belonged to him.
Sensing how Gu Zijin was feeling, Qin Muxuan found it hard to be mad at him. She pulled at Gu Zijin’s hand and softened her tone, “Gu Zijin, what’s wrong?”
“Let’s get married,” Gu Zijin’s cold voice reached Qin Muxuan’s ears.
Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment and frowned. “Didn’t we talk about this before?”
Gu Zijin’s voice became louder, “So you’re not willing, right?”
Qin Muxuan raised an eyebrow wonderingly, “When did I say I wasn’t willing?”
Gu Zijin raised his head in an instant with hope in his eyes, “Then you’re willing.”
Qin Muxuan choked and mumbled, “I didn’t mean that.”
She paused for a second and thought of something and asked tentatively, “Did you overhear me talking to Jian Xi at the door?”
Gu Zijin felt a little embarrassed when she exposed him, but he remained calm. He admitted it, “I didn’t mean to. You were too loud.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Qin Muxuan rolled her eyes silently. Yeah, it was our fault.
