Chapter 402: Qin Muxuan Plays Hard to Get
Yan Yuxiao hated Qin Muxuan. She saw that she was about to leave, jealousy and resentment surged into her heart and filled her mind. And subconsciously, she pushed Qin Muxuan.
When Qin Muxuan saw that her face was about to hit the ground, Yan Yuxiao’s heart was filled with endless joy and malice was also overflowing in her eyes.
Just fall! The harder you fall, the better. It’d be best if your face was ruined completely. That way, you wouldn’t be able to seduce my dear Zijin!
Qin Muxuan felt like she was definitely going to die this time, so she closed her eyes in despair.
However, the pain intense didn’t come as she had imagined. On the contrary, she fell into a soft and reliable embrace.
She was held by a familiar male whose body wrapped her up tightly.
It was Gu Zijin.
Qin Muxuan survived from her fall. She was still in Gu Zijin’s arms, and before she knew it, she felt a lump in her throat and her tears welled up.
She asked while sobbing, “What are you doing here?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Gu Zijin held Qin Muxuan’s waist with one of his hands and held the back of her head with his other hand, pressing her tightly into his chest.
He panted heavily and it took him a long time to calm himself down.
For God’s sake, as soon as he got out of the car, he looked up and saw that Qin Muxuan was falling down the stairs. And how panicked he was!
He had already hurt her too much, and he had tasted the pain of losing her. Not long ago, he swore that he would never let her suffer from any kind of harm again.
But, it had just been a couple of days, and he almost saw her get hurt in front of him.
He couldn’t stand it.
The man’s cold gaze was directed at culprit. Yan Yuxiao again.
Great. It seemed that just making the Yan family experience some setbacks was not enough to let Yan Yuxiao realize what she did wrong. In this case, she would have a taste of a more severe punishment.
Anyways, the Yan family was of no use to him.
Yan Yuxiao smiled the moment she saw Gu Zijin. And when she saw him holding Qin Muxuan in his arms, the smile on her face was almost gone, but she still forced a sweet smile, which made her look a bit hideous.
Huang Qi was amazed at what Gu Zijin just did.
“Brother Zijin…” Yan Yuxiao still called Gu Zijin in a sweet voice, which made Gu Zijin frown.
She was about to walk over when someone pulled her back.
“You bad woman, stay away from my mommy!” Xiaobai got off the car at the same time as Gu Zijin did and without doubt, he saw the dangerous scene.
Seeing his mommy being bullied, Xiaobai couldn’t hide his anger at all. He pushed Yan Yuxiao away with all his strength so that she would stay way further away from his mommy. He had long forgotten that Qin Muxuan still hid her identity from the public.
The moment he shouted “mommy”, Qin Muxuan knew that she was screwed.
Sure enough, Yan Yuxiao was a little dazed. “Mom… my?”
She stared stiffly at that familiar face of Qin Muxuan’s before turning her gaze towards Gu Zijin and his son.
After a while, she asked with difficulty, “Brother Zijin, shouldn’t you explain it?”
Xiaobai also knew that he had caused trouble. “I like her and daddy likes her too. She looks similar to my mommy. Is there a problem with me calling her mommy?”
It felt like he was trying to hide something.
Yan Yuxiao looked at Gu Zijin who remained silent and smiled miserably, “Xiaobai, do you think I’m that stupid?”
“Haha… Hahaha!” Yan Yuxiao laughed. Then, she sat down weakly and buried her face in her hands.
“That explains it. No wonder…” She wasn’t looking at anyone and just mumbled, “No wonder Brother Zijin gave you all his attention the moment you appeared. No wonder I spent so many years trying to please Gu Xiaobai but failed, and when you appear, he’s instantly close to you.”
Gradually, she spoke louder and louder, and in the end, she started to giggle.
“That explains it all. Qin Muxuan, so many years has passed, and it has always been you. You are…”
Yan Yuxiao sounded sharp and sarcastic, “You are really good at playing hard to get. You left to make him miss you! And then you came back to make him love you more!”
Qin Muxuan, who had been still suffering from the shock, suddenly looked up from Gu Zijin’s arms and looked into Gu Zijin’s eyes.
Qin Muxuan stared at him deeply and said word by word, “Gu Zijin, I did not.”
Gu Zijin thought it funny. Did she think that I didn’t believe her and that I would buy such nonsense?
His thin lips curved slightly and his voice was low and magnetic. “Of course I know you didn’t. Listen, whatever you do or whatever you say, I’ll believe you.
Qin Muxuan felt sweet. Although the timing was wrong, she still couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He had really changed a lot, and of course, he had changed for the better.
The unspoken tenderness and trust between the two drove Yan Yuxiao crazy. She didn’t know where she got the strength but she quickly got up from the ground and attempted to pull Qin Muxuan away from Gu Zijin.
He was hers. Brother Zijin could only belong to her.
Whether it was Qin Muxuan or Qin Xuan, they were liars. They were here only to steal Brother Zijin away from her.
She was the only one who treated Brother Zijin wholeheartedly.
“Brother Zijin, she lied to you. Don’t believe her!”
Tears fell down her cheeks uncontrollably, “Brother Zijin, look at me. I’m the only one who truly loves you!”
Gu Zijin frowned in disgust and reached out to block Yan Yuxiao.
He was really annoyed with Yan Yuxiao’s endless harassment.
He said in a cold voice, “Enough, Yan Yuxiao! I thought the current situation that your family was in would make you reasonable and sensible, but I didn’t expect you to be so stubborn.”
“I’ve said it many times. Since you still don’t get it, then I’ll say it one more time for the last time. If you can’t get it again, then don’t blame me for being rude.”
“Look closely. The woman I like, no, the woman I love is the one who is now in my arms, Qin Muxuan. It has never been you. You got it?”
“I’ve never loved you. Never! The reason why I agreed to marry you was purely because of the tricks granny and you pulled!”
Gu Zijin looked at Yan Yuxiao’s pale face, ignoring the fact that she was toppling, and fiercely said, “Did you get it now? Don’t pester me anymore. I’ve already divorced you!”
“Also, Muxuan has accepted my proposal. Pretty soon, I’m going to marry her.”
Then, he hugged Qin Muxuan and left with her without looking back. Gu Xiaobai and Huang Qi quickly followed.
Qin Muxuan sneaked a glance back and Yan Yuxiao fell to the ground with her head lowered. She couldn’t make out the look on her face.
She felt that Yan Yuxiao was a little pitiful, but she felt that it was good. Since they had talked about it openly, Yan Yuxiao wouldn’t harass Gu Zijin again and she wouldn’t trap herself in that hopeless love.
She had also been there before, so even though Yan Yuxiao had done so many bad things, she still hoped that Yan Yuxiao would pull herself together and move on.
