Chapter 169: An Unexpected Guest
Hearing Qin Muxuan’s promise, Qin Xiaobai was satisfied.
Lying on the bed, he dropped off to sleep in a few minutes.
Staring on the ceiling, Qin Muxuan was lying on the bed. Her brain was like a lump of jelly. She couldn’t fall asleep.
Noticing the dark circles under her eyes the next day, Xiaobai was taken aback.
“Dabai, what’s wrong with you? Do you feel under the weather?”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Qin Muxuan stroked his hair. Then she stretched herself and headed towards the restroom.
Gazing at the mirror, she detested the exhausted self out of no reason.
“Dabai…”
The door opened. Xiaobai poked out his head through the gap.
“You must be influenced by the message dad sent you yesterday!”
Qin Muxuan bit her lips.
‘Gosh. Is it so obvious? I feel embarrassed!’
“I’m okay now.”
“Dabai, I have an idea!”
Qin Xiaobai said in confidence.
Hearing his words, Qin Muxuan squatted down slowly. Nodding, she asked, “Well, what should I do?”
“When I’m anxious, I will recite my lines. Through this, I will forget about those annoying things.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan was enlightened in an instant.
“You want me to concentrate on my work and things I like, so that I won’t have annoying thoughts, right?”
Qin Xiaobai nodded solemnly, “Yes, I mean it!”
“Okay, I will keep that in mind.” Qin Muxuan was amused.
She hurriedly washed up and put on light makeup.
‘Xiaobai was right. I’m not a teen just falling in love. I’m a single mother.’
‘I can’t be troubled by those feelings.’
She dressed up and left. After she was in the company, Qin Muxuan focused on her work immediately.
Time flew soundlessly. It was time to get off work. Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was from home.
“Dabai, Dabai!”
Qin Muxuan furrowed her brows, “Xiaobai, why are you at home?”
“Uncle Yin took me home on the way.”
‘Well, my son has taken Youting as his friend.’
“Okay, just stay at home. I’m off duty now. I’ll be back soon.”
“Mommy…”
Qin Xiaobai halted, which confused Qin Muxuan. ‘It seems that something has happened.’
“What’s wrong?” Qin Muxuan asked uneasily.
“Yan Yuxiao’s here.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t know how to respond. She comforted Xiaobai, “Stay at home. I’ll handle this. Wait for me.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay!”
‘Why does that woman come to me? She’s really annoying!’
Qin Muxuan packed her things, hurrying back. When she saw Yan Yuxiao’s car nearby the villa, she slowed her pace.
Yan Yuxiao got off the car. Her feet stamped on the ground, showing her perfect leg line.
She was putting on a mask. Her eyes were full of alienation and indifference.
Qin Muxuan curled her lip, “Why are you here? You’re not welcome in my house.”
Yan Yuxiao smirked.
“Well, you must hear that Zijin and I will be engaged.”
Lowering her head, Qin Muxuan gazed at the ground. She licked her underlip, “It doesn’t matter whether I heard about the news or not. It has nothing to do with me.”
“If there’s nothing else, I should say good-bye. I’ve a guest at home, so I won’t invite you to my house.”
With these words, Qin Muxuan was about to leave. However, Yan Yuxiao stopped her.
“Wait, I didn’t ask you to leave.”
“I don’t have to ask for your permission. If you’re here to show off, you can leave now.”
Gritting her teeth, Yan Yuxiao maintained her complacent expression.
“Well. I’m here to check my house and drop in on Xiaobai.”
“Xiaobai doesn’t like you.”
Loosening her grip, Yan Yuxiao didn’t retort Qin Muxuan. “I’m busy, but I still spare some time to visit Xiaobai. Your attitude will make things worse. Can you imagine how netizens will reproach you?”
Qin Muxuan jeered, “Well, you only have this small trick, right?”
“‘The Life-Savior Was Given the Cold Shoulder by the Single Mother When She Dropped in on Xiaobai.’ Do you like this headline?”
Qin Muxuan turned to Yan Yuxiao.
‘If she harms Xiaobai for her own good, I won’t let her go. I just want some peace. Why is it so difficult?’
“What do you want to do?”
“I don’t wanna do anything. I just warn you to stay away from Gu Zijin, otherwise I will contact reporters at any time.”
Looking straight into Qin Muxuan’s eyes, Yan Yuxiao threatened, “If the topic really tops the trending search, you and Xiaobai will find no haven.”
“I doubt that.”
A man’s voice popped up from behind. Qin Muxuan followed the sound, finding Yin Youting headed towards them.
“Youting?”
Yan Yuxiao looked at Qin Muxuan and Yin Youting, jeering, “Oh dear! It seems that it didn’t take long for you to live together.”
“Qin Muxuan, you are cheap.”
Yin Youting looked down at Yan Yuxiao, and his expression made her quiver.
“What… What are you going to do?”
“Nothing.” Yin Youting took out his phone. “I just watched a drama. It was interesting, so I recorded it.”
Yan Yuxiao goggled at the phone immediately, “Give me that!”
“Why?”
Yin Youting looked at Qin Muxuan to comfort her. He then turned to Yan Yuxiao, “If the public know the goddess in their hearts turns out to be a shrew, you will lose your job.”
Yan Yuxiao became nervous.
She attached great importance to maintaining her image, pretending to be soft and kind-hearted before everyone. It was apparent that she wouldn’t ruin her previous efforts.
“You…”
“Please stay away from Muxuan. Mind your own business.”
Yan Yuxiao wore a half smile, staring at Qin Muxuan. Finally, Yan Yuxiao got in her car and left.
Qin Muxuan let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank you. I really don’t know what to do.” She expressed her gratitude to Yin Youting.
“We… have said that there’s no need to say thanks between us.”
Yin Youting said mildly.
“Oh please. When do we need formalities?”
His question stunned Qin Muxuan. He was her past tense.
Noticing her embarrassed expression, Yin Youting felt awkward.
“Well, just move on. Sorry for that.”
“It’s okay.”
Qin Muxuan nodded but said nothing. She stepped toward the house. ‘I’ve wasted some time. I need to prepare dinner for Xiaobai.’
Only when she closed the door did she feel relieved.
