Chapter 38: Help You Sign Up for a Class
Qin Xiaobai said bashfully,
“Dabai, how are you right now? Do you still feel sick?”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan rubbed Qin Xiaobai’s head and answered,
“Don’t worry, Xiaobai. It’s just a minor illness, I’m fine.”
“Really?”
“Of course, you don’t even trust your mother now?”
Qin Xiaobai approached Qin Muxuan and kissed her face. Then he dragged Gu Zijin out while saying,
“Mommy, have a good rest. Dad and I wouldn’t bother you then.”
With the look on Gu Zijin’s face turning gloomy, he got out of the room. Qin Xiaobai closed the door on tiptoe and then said to Gu Zijin with his arms on his hips,
“Daddy, you can not disturb mommy when she is resting herself. I learned from the book that the patient should take a good rest.”
Gu Zijin’s flames of desire for Qin Muxuan had been put out by his own son before he could take any action.
Then Gu Zijin sneered, saying,
“Xiaobai, daddy would like to help you sign up for a class.”
“…”
Dinner time.
Qin Muxuan didn’t go downstairs since she was ill. Meanwhile, Elderly Lady Gu kept putting dishes into Qin Xiaobai’s bowl. The little boy whose arm was not long enough could only put all those dishes into Gu Zijin’s bowl.
Elderly Lady Gu looked at Gu Zijin and said,
“Zijin, you should talk to Xiaobai. Tell him that his great grandmother likes him a lot.”
“Xiaobai is a little boy, but he still knows everything he should. Grandma, if you want to be a nice great grandmother, you shouldn’t rebuke Qin Muxuan in public anymore.”
Elderly Lady Gu’s good mood was spoiled again. This girl Qin Muxuan turned both his grandson and great grandson against her!
After Qin Xiaobai finished dinner, he jumped off the chair cheerfully and said,
“I’ll bring dinner to Dabai.”
Gu Zijin lifted the back collar of Qin Xiaobai’s shirt right away. The latter, with a dazed look on his face, was lifted to the chair again. Then Gu Zijin said in a flat tone,
“I’ll go.”
Qin Xiaobai got upset at once. If his dad did all the things, there wouldn’t be anything left for him to do.
However, Qin Xiaobai couldn’t catch up with Gu Zijin whose legs were way longer than his. Then he turned to Ye Han tearfully,
“Grandma, did you see it? Daddy is bullying me!”
After Gu Zijin entered the room upstairs, he saw Qin Muxuan still looking at the design drawing in her phone. Then, with a displeased look in his eyes, he coughed.
Qin Muxuan hid her phone right away. After Gu Zijin put the dishes on the table next to the bed, he said,
“You don’t have to work in the Gu Group from today.”
“Why?”
“Hasn’t the doctor told you that you fainted and got a fever this time because you have suffered from tiredness and malnutrition for a long time?”
“But…”
“There is no but. Stay at home, I’ll invite a tutor to teach you interior design.”
Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but get intrigued. Then Gu Zijin continued to coax her,
“Besides, I graduated from University A too. Anything you don’t understand, you can ask me about it.”
“Fine.”
Qin Muxuan nodded. The thing she regretted the most was that she hadn’t finished learning interior design at that time. Therefore, although she had lived a wandering life with Qin Xiaobai, she hadn’t given up studying by herself.
Since she could study the interior design without going abroad to receive further education, she would be more than happy to accept that offer.
After Qin Muxuan had agreed to it, Gu Zijin let out a sigh of relief, saying,
“I’ll tell Situ Ming about your dismission and send someone to take over your unfinished job.”
“OK. Thanks, Gu Zijin.”
“Do you have a prize for me?”
“Eh, what kind of prize do you want?”
Qin Muxuan got hesitant since she knew that she was short of money now and couldn’t afford to buy any present for Gu Zijin. Then Gu Zijin kissed on her lips all of a sudden, which got Qin Muxuan dazed right away. However, Gu Zijin still wore that calm look and said,
“All right, you should eat dinner now.”
“Okay…”
Qin Muxuan’s condition had improved and she happened to be very hungry now. As she saw the dishes, her appetite was stimulated at once. Gu Zijin looked at her by her bed, finding her quite adorable with her cheeks bulging like a chipmunk when she was eating.
At night, Qin Muxuan took a shower and then went to bed early.
When Qin Xiaobai knocked on the door outside, Gu Zijin was afraid that the boy would wake Qin Muxuan up, so he pulled Qin Xiaobai’s clothes and dragged the boy away. Qin Xiaobai felt quite aggrieved. He really had something serious to say this time…
Gu Zijin put Qin Xiaobai down and then asked,
“What’s the matter?”
“Eh… nothing. We are going to have a Family Day in our school. It requires all the students’ parents to go to our school and participate in all kinds of activities.”
Qin Xiaobai looked at Gu Zijin with expectation in his eyes,
“Daddy, you’ll come, right?”
Gu Zijin got stunned. Family Day? He remembered that Qin Muxuan had attended the parents’ meeting all by herself all along. He also remembered what happened on the day the first time he picked up Qin Xiaobai. Then he got softhearted and said,
“When is the Family Day? I’ll make time for it.”
Qin Xiaobai took out a crumpled invitation letter from his pocket, saying,
“The details are all on this letter. I’ll go to see Dabai now.”
“She’s already asleep. Don’t wake her up.”
Qin Xiaobai, having smacked his lips with an aggrieved look, took back his short leg. He found his daddy getting more and more evil because his daddy liked to be with Dabai alone all the time and didn’t want him to be around…Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Qin Muxuan was having a sound sleep. When Gu Zijin walked back to cover her with the quilt, his hand was held by Qin Muxuan abruptly.
At first he thought that Qin Muxuan was awake, but after a long while, he found that Qin Muxuan was only having a dream. She held his hand while murmuring something. Gu Zijin approached her and heard her saying,
“Youting… I’m sorry.”
“…”
Gu Zijin’s face turned sullen straightly. He kissed on Qin Muxuan’s lips as a punishment. Then he said angrily,
“Qin Muxuan, call me in your dream next time.”
Qin Muxuan, with her long and curled eyelashes fluttering, turned around and continued to sleep. Having shown a resigned look, Gu Zijin turned off the light and got on the bed.
The next day.
Qin Muxuan who was almost fully recovered got up very early. As a result, she got the rare chance to see Gu Zijin sleeping next to her. Then Qin Muxuan walked out of the room cautiously without making any sound. She suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since she made breakfast for Qin Xiaobai last time, so she decided to cook for the whole family this morning.
After Qin Xiaobai had washed his face and brushed his teeth, he smelled a familiar scent. As he ran downstairs directly, he saw Qin Muxuan putting all kinds of dishes on the table.
Qin Xiaobai looked around and then pursed his lips, arguing,
“Mommy, why do I only have bread slices and omelette but daddy could have vegetable porridge, steamed stuffed buns and fried bread sticks?”
Qin Xiaobai felt very unsatisfied. Then he pulled Qin Muxuan’s clothes with his chubby hands and said,
“Mommy, I want the same things as daddy’s. Now that you have daddy, you don’t like me anymore, is that right?”
Seeing Qin Baixiao’s pitiful look, Qin Muxuan could only cook a same set of meal for Qin Xiaobai.
After Gu Zijin had got up, he saw the place next to him being empty. Then he couldn’t help but get surprised since Qin Muxuan usually got up later than him. Then he changed into a casual wear and walked out of the room. As he smelled something delicious, he said subconsciously,
“Nanny Chen, make me a cup of coffee.”
