Chapter 390: Let’s Give It a Shot
The two of them were silent for a long time. Xiaoxin looked at Jian Xi and then looked at Mu Ming, feeling that both of them were acting so weird today.
Xiaoxin sighed silently. It was true that the world of adults was really hard to understand. For little children, eating is the right thing to do, so she lowered her head again and concentrate on eating the desserts.
“What is it that you…?”
“Actually, today I…”
The two spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Jian Xi coughed dryly and broke the ice. “You asked me to come here. Is there something you want to say? ”
Mu Ming didn’t answer immediately. He was silent for a moment, “Jian Xi, I like you not because of what happened a few days ago. I’ve had a crush on you for a very long time.”
Jian Xi was stunned. She didn’t expect Mu Ming to be so direct.
Flustered, Jian Xi looked at Xiaoxin and found that she was wholeheartedly eating the pudding in front of her with a spoon. She seemed to have not heard it and Jian Xi was instantly relieved.
Jian Xi thought for a moment but didn’t know what to say. She mumbled, “I know that.”
Mu Ming didn’t know what Jian Xi was thinking and he just continued, “Have you thought about what I said yesterday? About …”
Jian Xi interrupted Mu Ming, “I’ve thought about it.”
Mu Ming choked for a moment; then he looked even more nervous. “So, what’s your decision?”
Jian Xi didn’t avoid Mu Ming’s gaze this time. She could even see the reflection of herself in Mu Ming’s eyes. Right now all he saw was her.
Jian Xi smiled and nodded. “Let’s give it a shot.”
Mu Ming was entranced by Jian Xi’s smile and couldn’t believe what he heard, “What?”
Jian Xi had a bigger smile and stared at Mu Ming seriously. “I said, let’s give it a shot.”
This time Mu Ming heard what Jian Xi said clearly and the smile on his face grew bigger, but he still retained his last rationality and nodded. “Okay.”
Jian Xi was a little unhappy when she saw Mu Ming’s cold reaction, but because Xiaoxin was there, she didn’t show it.
The two of them didn’t speak again and there was an awkward silence in the air. Of course, Xiaoxin couldn’t feel all of that.
Seeing that Xiaoxin was almost done eating, Mu Ming asked softly, “Xiaoxin, When you finish eating, I will take you to the movie, okay?”
Xiaoxin nodded and agreed.
Mu Ming always wanted to watch a movie with Jian Xi, but he couldn’t find the opportunity. Now that their relationship had leapfrogged, he could finally fulfill this wish.
Mu Ming asked Jian Xi out of courtesy, “Do you want to watch a movie?”
Jian Xi looked at Xiaoxin, who looked thrilled. She couldn’t find it in her to reject her.
Because the cafe was not far from Jian Xi’s home, she didn’t drive her car, so she got into Mu Ming’s car with Xiaoxin and went to the cinema.
Jian Xi looked at Xiaoxin, who was enjoying an ice cream in her hand. She had no temper anymore. If Qin Muxuan found out that she had let Xiaoxin eat so many desserts, she was sure that she would beat her.
Jian Xi glared at the one who bought the ice cream and who was not sitting in the driver’s seat. Mu Ming also happened to be looking at the rearview mirror and their eyes met.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Mu Ming coughed guiltily. “It’s just this one time. She wants to eat it. I couldn’t possibly say no.”
Jian Xi snorted and said nothing.
Mu Ming asked cautiously, “You’re not mad, are you?”
Hearing the textbook-like answer from this male chauvinist pig, Jian Xi, though mad, felt like laughing. She forced out a sentence from her mouth, “No, I’m not.”
But her tone did not sound like she was not angry.
Mu Ming quickly decided to change the subject. “Xiaoxin, how is your mom doing recently?” Speaking of which, Mu Ming had not seen Qin Muxuan for a long time.
Recently, he had read news about her online and every time her name appeared together with Gu Zijin’s name. Mu Ming really felt sorry for Yin Youting.
Xiaoxin said innocently, “She’s doing great. But, she isn’t spending much time with me as she’s been filming these two days.” As she said that, she pouted dissatisfiedly.
Mu Ming tried to find out more, “Where are you living now?”
Xiaoxin spoke the plain truth, “Mommy and I are living in the villa together with Papa and Brother Xiaobai.”
Mu Ming’s eyes widened. “Papa?”
Xiaoxin nodded innocently. “Yes, Papa.”
Mu Ming looked at Jian Xi suspiciously.
Jian Xi mouthed: “Gu Zijin.” It was impossible to keep it a secret now, so it was better to just tell him the truth.
Mu Ming got it now and he silently felt sorry for his friend for three seconds.
Because Xiaoxin was with them, Mu Ming chose a recently released cartoon.
Mu Ming also bought popcorn and cola for Xiaoxin. When Jian Xi saw Xiaoxin holding a popcorn bucket the size of her head, she was completely speechless.
Jian Xi rolled her eyes at Mu Ming. “If Xiao Xuan finds out about it, I’ll tell her that you were the one who bought them for Xiaoxin.”
Mu Ming looked as if he were on the chopping block, “Yes, I bought them all. If she finds out, you can let me take all the blame.”
When she saw Mu Ming being so obedient, Jian Xi found it hard to get angry.
Seeing that Jian Xi was slightly happier, Mu Ming handed her a cup of cola and grabbed her other hand very naturally.
If she ignored the redness on his earlobes, Jian Xi felt that he looked really cool and handsome when he did what he just did and she couldn’t help but smile.
They entered the cinema. Xiaoxin sat in the middle with the bucket of popcorn.
Jian Xi looked around. Normally, only couples with children came here to watch cartoons. Jian Xi glanced at Mu Ming, and she blushed.
At first Jian Xi was a little nervous, but the plot of the cartoon was really childish and boring. And with the dark environment, she gradually became sleepy.
Last night, she went to bed a little late and she wasn’t in a familiar place. Her sleep quality wasn’t good either.
Mu Ming’s attention was not on the cartoon at all. From time to time, he glanced at Jian Xi and saw that her eyes gradually changed from being bright to being dull, and that she kept nodding her head. Mu Ming couldn’t help smiling.
Just as Jian Xi was about to completely lose consciousness and her head was also falling to one side, a hand carefully supported her face as Mu Ming leaned her head against his shoulder.
Mu Ming and Xiaoxin changed seats. Looking at the face that was leaning against his shoulder, Mu Ming felt ecstatic. He lowered his head and gently kissed Jian Xi’s forehead.
It was just one gentle touch, but his amorous desire was awakened.
