Chapter 410: The Old Mister
It wasn’t until the two of them entered the office that Qin Muxuan finally calmed down. Xiaoxin snuggled against her, quietly holding one of her arms and silently comforting her.
Gu Zijin carefully helped her sit down. He held her tear-stained face with both hands and wiped the tears off with his thumbs and sighed softly.
He lowered his head, pressed his forehead against Qin Muxuan’s forehead and said gently, “Xiao Xuan, don’t cry. Seeing you cry breaks my heart.”
“Did I do something wrong again? And that’s why you’re punishing me like this, huh?”
“No,” Qin Muxuan quickly shook her head and sniffed slightly. Her eyes were particularly bright after being washed by her tears and she felt Gu Zijin’s love for her.
“I’m just…” Qin Muxuan sniffled and said in a girlish voice, “I’m just too happy. Zijin, I’m very happy about what you did for me just now.”
Gu Zijin felt that her sniffling was particularly cute. When he heard what she said, he felt that a huge hand was grasping his heart firmly, and the pain made his eyes turn red.
He kissed Qin Muxuan’s face gently, and then the tears on her face. Finally, his lips gently held her delicate red lips and made a promise.
“What I have done isn’t enough…”
The three of them finished lunch intimately. Qin Muxuan had made quite a lot of food, and it was finished quickly. Gu Zijin ate a third of of the lunch himself. And when he was eating, he kept praising Qin Muxuan, saying that her cooking skills were second to none. Qin Muxuan thought that he was talking too much, so she raised her hand and patted his muscular arm, “Alright, stop talking and eat your meals.”
Even though she said that, she smiled happily and felt very relaxed.
Seeing her being like that, Gu Zijin knew that she was gradually recovering from the trauma of her past, so he was in a much better mood.
After packing up everything, Qin Muxuan took the lunchbox with another serve of meal and bring it with her to Xiaobai.
Gu Zijin was reluctant to part with her, so he went downstairs with her and was only ready to let her go after giving her a passionate kiss.
Xiaoxin, who felt that she was being neglected for the whole time, was unhappy.
She leaned upon Qin Muxuan’s lap, raised her little cheeks and pouted, her eyes full of grievance and complaint.
“Daddy, do you not like me? Why did you just kiss mommy? Why didn’t you kiss me?”
Gu Zijin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
He kissed his cute little daughter lovingly. “I love you always.”
Then Xiaoxin looked cheerful again.
When Qin Muxuan and Xiaoxin arrived at Xiaobai’s shooting location, it happened to be his lunch time. She told Xiaobai in advance that she was coming to see him so Xiaobai’s assistant took her and Xiaoxin inside secretly.
Right now, many people knew about her. If she were seen to visit Xiaobai, she didn’t know what kind of report the media would put out there. Her children were not ready yet. Qin Muxuan didn’t want Xiaobai and Xiaoxin to get into the public eyes because of her.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Xiaobai was very happy to see his mother and sister.
Usually, he looked and behaved like a mature adult, but in fact, he was just an eight-year-old child. When he saw the two of them walking into the dressing room, he immediately jumped off the chair and ran into Qin Muxuan’s arms.
“Mommy!” He smiled brightly like all eight-year-old boys. Qin Muxuan also lowered her head and smiled at him.
He first rubbed his head against his mother’s arms, and then he bent over to hold Xiaoxin’s hand.
“Sister, are you here to see me too?”
With her big eyes wide open, Xiaoxin nodded vigorously, “Yes, I missed you, brother!”
The smile on Xiaobai’s face grew bigger, “I missed you too!”
The two children were so close to each other. Qin Muxuan served the food and said, “Xiaobai, come have your lunch.”
Qin Muxuan supported her chin with her hands and smiled at Xiaobai was gulping the food while Xiaoxin obediently handed him water.
She felt quite content and a little bit unbelievable. In all those years when she was suffering abroad, she never believed that she would be so happy again.
The one she loved also loved her back. And her son and daughter were by her side.
Everything was as wonderful as a nice dream.
Qin Muxuan wanted to accompany Xiaobai at the filming location but Xiaobai didn’t want it.
“Mommy, I’m a big boy. There’s no need for you to accompany me all the time,” he said as he pushed Qin Muxuan out, “You must be tired from the cooking. Just go back with my sister and have a good rest.”
Qin Muxuan could not persuade him so she took Xiaoxin home first.
On the way back, Qin Muxuan chatted with Xiaoxin happily.
Xiaoxin was still young, so she kept mumbling about what she found interesting. She really wanted to tell her mother everything that had happened when Qin Muxuan was hospitalized. And she even talked about what her auntie cooked for her every day.
While she was talking, a shop caught Xiaoxin’s attention.
“Mommy,” she pointed to a warm, decorated shop out there and said, “I want to eat that cake.”
The driver hurriedly stepped on the brakes. When the car stopped, Qin Muxuan realized that it was a cake shop. Outside the shop, there was a roll-up banner demonstrating the specialties.
She was free the whole afternoon. Since Xiaoxin wanted to eat a cake, she supposed that she could let her do that, but…
“You just ate so much food. Do you have an extra stomach to hold a cake?”
Xiaoxin rubbed on her stomach and frowned unhappily.
“Uh… but mommy, I really, really, really want to eat that cake.”
As if to emphasize how much she wanted to eat it, she repeated the word “really” thrice.
Qin Muxuan was amused by it and rubbed on her soft hair. She pushed the door open and carried her out.
“Since you want to eat the cake, then let’s go and eat it.”
The mother and daughter quickly picked the cake they wanted. The sunshine was warm and the environment of the cake shop was very nice. Qin Muxuan decided that they would go back after they finished eating.
She chose a table facing the street and after Xiaoxin was seated, she lazily leaned on a chair to bask in the sun, her whole body relaxed.
Xiaoxin sat beside her and ate the cake obediently with her fork. She could already eat by herself so Qin Muxuan didn’t need to worry about that.
What they didn’t know was that their every act and move was watched by a man in a black car on the street outside the store.
“Humph, she only cares about how comfortable she is and doesn’t even feed the child. A good mother never does that!”
While Qin Muxuan was about to fall sleepy, she suddenly felt that the warmth around her suddenly disappeared.
The sun had gone down already? She opened her eyes in confusion, only to find a slightly bent figure standing in front of her. On both sides of him were two tall bodyguards, blocking the sun that was shining down on her.
The hunched man was obviously not young and was looking at Xiaoxin with loving eyes. Qin Muxuan felt that this man looked a little familiar. She asked curiously.
“Old mister, who are you?”
