Chapter 181: An Unexpected Proposal
‘Putting on airs is not a big deal, but she also hurt others for her own good. This evidence can put her in prison.’
Yin Youting locked those documents in a cabinet and then he returned to normal.
…
During these days, what Gu Zijin had done in the hotel left Qin Muxuan speechless. He couldn’t distinguish a washing machine from a dryer. Also, he didn’t know which clothes could only be dried clean. What was worse, he insisted on doing these by himself.
‘Gu Zijin’s not here to accompany us, but to cause troubles!’
‘But he’s so serious. Who can imagine the president of the Gu Group will do these for others?’
Qin Muxuan understood… Gu Zijin’s heart.
“What’s this?”
“Cinnamon.”
Qin Muxuan took a glance and answered.
Sorting out those seasoners bought by Qin Muxuan, Gu Zijin supported his body with his hands on the table, “Can we eat out today?”
“It’s expensive. Forget it.”
“It’s my treat. Don’t worry.”
Qin Muxuan still shook her head, “It’s also hard for you to make money. By the way, home-made dishes can’t satisfy you now?”
“No!”
Gu Zijin denied immediately, winking at Qin Xiaobai.
“Well, mommy. We haven’t eaten out since we arrived here… I want to eat out, too.”
Hearing Xiaobai’s words, Qin Muxuan relented. ‘Well, only once.’
Gu Zijin glimpsed at Qin Xiaobai approvingly, ‘Well, this is my good son.’
They followed Gu Zijin to a high-end restaurant which looked splendid. An average person wouldn’t choose such a fancy restaurant.
‘Can I rip Gu Zijin off? The answer’s obvious.’
‘Then I will enjoy myself.’
They sat before a round table. Gu Zijin was ordering the food in fluent English, while Qin Muxuan was checking her phone.
Although her English was not bad, she didn’t bother because he was responsible for that.
“The food here is good.”
When Qin Muxuan was chowing down, she didn’t forget to shell the lobsters for Qin Xiaobai.
“The dishes are not tastier than those made by mommy.”
‘My son’s really sweet.’ Qin Muxuan nodded delightedly.
When the meal was half finished, Qin Muxuan looked into the distance. Outside the French widow, there were skyscrapers. Much of the time, she enjoyed such a peaceful and harmonious life.
There were no obstacles or schemes.
Suddenly, she looked back, but her eyes met Gu Zijin’s. She avoided him subconsciously.
“Go ahead. It’s getting cold.”
“Dabai, I want to pee.”
Noticing their subtle atmosphere, Qin Xiaobai thought he should leave here and choose a corner to sit and wait.
“Okay.”
Gu Zijin was hesitant for a long time before he said those words.
“Marry me.”
“What?”
‘I must mishear. Did he just make a proposal? So suddenly?’ Qin Muxuan was shocked.
“You might think it’s rushed.”
‘You can take out ‘might’ from your sentence!’ She roared inwardly.
There was resolution in Gu Zijin’s sharp eyes. He was looking forward to her answer, “Aren’t we getting along well these days? I enjoy such a life. Do you like it?”
‘Like it or not?’
She really enjoyed such a life from the bottom of her heart. She was too relaxed to remember there were loads of things for Gu Zijin to handle in China.
He seemed to see through her, opening his mouth.
“I will sort things out back in China. Will you give me a chance?”
Qin Muxuan remained silent with the fork stopping in the air. She lowered her head, continuing to eat.
“Muxuan, I’m proposing to you. Why don’t you look at me? Stop eating.”
Thinking that she was mooning, Gu Zijin felt she was adorable. He grinned.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“I think… I might not… I don’t know.”
“Daddy, mommy!”
Qin Xiaobai’s sweet voice came by Qin Muxuan’s ears. Her eyes sparkled as if she saw the savior, “You’re finally back. Have you washed your hands?”
“…Mommy, do you think I’m unhygienic?”
‘Well… No.’
‘I just want to change the topic, but I’m wrong.’ Qin Muxuan thought.
In China, Yan Yuxiao read the message in her phone, “Seattle.” She twitched her mouth as if she was going to explode.
Gu Zijin’s schedule was at her fingertips. He went to Seattle which was far away from China, but she didn’t know what he was doing.
She had heard that Qin Xiaobai flew to Seattle for a magazine shooting.
It was not hard for her to ask around in the entertainment circle. Yan Yuxiao rose to her feet with a wry smile, ‘He must go there for that bitch!’
“Gu Zijin, if I don’t put pressure on you, you really think you are free?”
Staring at the front, Yan Yuxiao gritted her teeth. She strolled out.
She arrived at the Gu’s house as usual, accompanying Elderly Lady Gu on the walk to the courtyard. They watched the colorful flowers.
Elderly Lady Gu chuckled, “Silly girl, why do you frequent here?”
“Zijin’s grandma is also my grandma. Of course, I should be filial, so that others won’t gossip that Gu Zijin has a rude fiancée.”
Hearing Yan Yuxiao’s words, the old lady laughed out loud.
“You’re such a good girl. If I have a granddaughter-in-law like you, I will not let Zijin’s grandpa and father down. His father’s still lying on bed in the hospital.”
Yan Yuxiao grinned sweetly, “Grandma, don’t make fun of me.”
“Wait for a second, I will call Zijin and ask him back for dinner. You can deepen your relationship.”
Yan Yuxiao’s smile became stiff. “No!” She was nervous.
“Why? Isn’t it good to have him around?”
“Zijin’s gone on a business trip. He’s in Seattle. Don’t bother him.”
Elderly Lady Gu nodded, “Okay.” For her, it was obvious that the business outweighed the granddaughter-in-law.
“You’re sensitive.”
“I could have gone there with Zijin. I was supposed to pose for a magazine. Later the staff told me they had changed the model, so I stay here.” Yan Yuxiao said tactfully, “It’s okay. I can accompany you.”
“Well, which magazine did this?”
“It’s the same. Xiaobai…” Pretending to spill the beans, Yan Yuxiao covered her mouth. She lowered her head, fixing her eyes on her tiptoes.
“Qin Xiaobai’s also gone to Seatle?”
Yan Yuxiao nodded.
“His mother’s there?”
Yan Yuxiao’s voice trailed off while Elderly Lady Gu was getting angrier. “That woman keeps showing up! She must be against me on purpose. She even pesters my grandson when he’s on a business trip!”
“They might not meet each other…” Yan Yuxiao tried to soothe the old lady. However, a hint of malice emerged in her eyes.
“No, Zijin shouldn’t be like this anymore!”
