Chapter 138: Birthday Noodles
There was a palpable spirit of love and joy in the Gu’s house on Wednesday. Lots of kids were running around among all those balloons, cakes and toys. Elderly Lady Gu wasn’t bothered by that at all. As long as Qin Xiaobai was happy, she would be too.
Gu Zijin only showed up at lunch time, because he had to attend his own birthday party which had been prepared by the Gu Group.
Qin Muxuan had been busy the whole time, picking up the pieces and taking care of the kids with the nanny. At the end of the day, she felt as if she was going to collapse.
After she sent off all the guests, she nearly got weak and limp on the ground.
“Happy birthday, Xiaobai. Did you have a good time today?” When there were only Xiaobai and her, she took out the present she had prepared for him specially-the Spiderman figure that he had always asked for.
After Qin Xiaobai took the figure, he kissed on Qin Muxuan’s cheek and said,
“I did! Thank you, Dabai, but you have promised to prepare for another party which only the two of us could attend, you must keep your word! Amusement park, Starbucks…”
Qin Muxuan nodded and held Qin Xiaobai’s hand, “We’ll also go to see a movie and eat popcorns!”
“Great!”
Qin Xiaobai was also very tired after playing for a whole day. After he lay on the quilt with the Spiderman figure in his arms, he fell asleep right away.
As Qin Muxuan went to clean Qin Xiaobai’s clothes which had cakes and cream all over, she heard Nanny Chen’s voice coming through from downstairs.,
“Young Master, you are back!”
When Qin Muxuan opened the room door, she happened to see Gu Zijin walking upstairs.
When he saw Qin Muxuan, he paused for a second while staring at her with his black eyes, “Come to my room after a while, I have something to say to you.” After saying that, he walked to his room.
“Young Master, do you need to eat something?” Nanny Chen followed him and asked.
“No.” Gu Zijin answered that without turning around.
Qin Muxuan sighed. She took a glance at Qin Xiaobai who was in a sleep and closed the room door gently. Then, she walked to the kitchen.
After a while, she knocked on Gu Zijin’s door.
A delicious smell floated into the room. Qin Muxuan put the bowl of noodles on Gu Zijin’s desk gently.
With a poached egg and green vegetables on the noodles, this dish was both delicious and good-looking, arousing the man’s appetite right away.
“You said you didn’t want to eat anything, but today is your birthday after all. You should at least have a bowl of birthday noodles… Happy birthday.”
Gu Zijin took a bite of the noodles, enjoying the rich flavor in his mouth. After that, he felt his stomach becoming warm at once. Those servants would never be able to make a dish with this taste.
“You made this by yourself?”
“Yeah. I’m confident in my cooking skill. At least Xiaobai likes it a lot.”
Speaking of Qin Xiaobai, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help showing a gentle smile,
“Xiaobai is one year older today. By the way, this is the birthday gift Xiaobai prepared for you.”
Gu Zijin looked at the greeting card that Qin Muxuan handed to him with a surprised look in his eyes.
On the card was Gu Zijin’s portrait which had been painted by Qin Xiaobai. To be honest, the portrait was truly vivid.
“This is painted by Xiaobai?”
As a matter of fact, the style of painting as well as the painting itself shouldn’t be a four-year-old kid’s job.
“That’s right!”
Qin Muxuan nodded proudly, believing that her son must have inherited her gift as a designer!Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Has he learned professional painting before?”
“No.”
Qin Xiaobai was only four years old, and the painting class in the kindergarten wouldn’t accept him.
Also… it was because Qin Muxuan couldn’t afford the tuition fee before.
However, now she had already saved enough money. After Qin Xiaobai finished shooting the series with Yan Yuxiao, she planned to register a children painting class for Qin Xiaobai to give this child professional training.
Although he might not work in this industry, Qin Muxuan felt it was better for a child to learn more things.
“Xiaobai has a gift for painting. I’ll ask Lisa to arrange a painting teacher for him tomorrow to develop his talent in this area specifically.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t give any comment. After a few days when she found an apartment, she might move out with Qin Xiaobai. By then, she and her son would start a new life before Gu Zijin found a teacher for Qin Xiaobai.
While Qin Muxuan was in a daze, she suddenly saw something wagging in front of her eyes. As she looked at it closely, she found that it was a goblet.
“I’ve received Xiaobai’s gift. What about yours?”
As Qin muxuan saw Gu Zijin’s eyes, she suddenly got a bit nervous.
All the lights were off in Gu Zijin’s room except for the lamp. Under the warm dim light, he was gorgeous like a prince in the fairy tale. Qin Muxuan only felt her heart beating fast all of a sudden.
“I…”
Qin Muxuan was a bit perplexed, not knowing what kind of present she should give to a man like him.
Maybe a bowl of birthday noodles was the best choice. However, it seemed that Gu Zijin didn’t regard it as a gift anyway. Then… she had nothing to give.
“You didn’t prepare a gift for me?” Gu Zijin, with his eyebrows slightly raised, poured wine in the two goblets, saying, “Then have wine with me. I am in a good mood today.”
“… Fine.”
Gu Zijin didn’t like to talk much and Qin Muxuan also didn’t know what to say. They drank the wine one glass after another, but neither of them felt awkward as if they had been a couple for years.
Although the noodles and the wine weren’t a good match, Gu Zijin still ate up all the noodles while drinking the wine. As he felt the delicious warm food reaching his stomach, he felt his tiredness for the day all cleared off.
Qin Muxuan suddenly felt that they were like the normal couple right now. Gu Zijin wasn’t that superior president and she didn’t have any other identity expect for his wife.
Seeing her husband eating the dish she made, she felt extremely happy.
Perhaps the wine went to her head. After Gu Zijin finished eating the noodles, Qin Muxuan suddenly started to talk a lot.
“Xiaobai is five years old today… Times goes really fast. At that time…”
At that time?
Qin Muxuan didn’t notice the change of the look on Gu Zijin’s face when she mentioned the past.
That day, he didn’t agree to move out with Qin Muxuan and Qin Xiaobai because of not only his worry for Elderly Lady Gu’s condition, but also another thing.
That was… what had happened before.
Gu Zijin could not forget about that. He didn’t understand why Qin Muxuan had set him up to have sex with him.
He knew that she had done that to save the Qin family.
After that, although the Gu family had refused to help, Qin Muxuan could still use Qin Xiaobai to threaten the Gu family.
However, she left while she was pregnant and never met Gu Zijin all these years. That was really strange.
He wondered whether she had ever wanted to find him.
Or she only wanted to have a child, and he happened to be the one who could help her.
If it was true, it was likely that she had only used him to have a child.
That really annoyed Gu Zijin!
