Chapter 392: Why Are You Here Again?
After they finished their meal, Mu Ming drove Xiaoxin back to the set. Like this morning, the car didn’t get close to the set and it just stopped nearby. Qin Muxuan was already waiting there.
Xiaoxin and Jian Xi got out of the car. When Xiaoxin saw Qin Muxuan, she cheered and ran over. “Mommy!”
Qin Muxuan hugged her and smiled, “Xiaoxin, did you behave today?”
Xiaoxin nodded firmly, “Yes, I did.”
Qin Muxuan pretended not to believe it. “Really?”
Xiaoxin thought about what she had done today in her mind and suddenly felt guilty. She seemed to have eaten a lot today and many of them were desserts. She turned her pleading gaze towards Jian Xi.
When she saw how Xiaoxin looked, Qin Muxuan knew Xiaoxin was hiding something. Just as she was about to ask her, Mu Ming came over too.
The two of them had not seen each other for a while. When they saw each other again, they suddenly felt a little awkward. After all, Mu Ming was Yin Youting’s friend.
Qin Muxuan smiled and politely said, “Long time no see.”
Mu Ming seemed to be amused by how alienated Qin Muxuan sounded, “Muxuan, though it doesn’t work for you and Youting, you don’t have to be so polite to me. Besides being his friend, I am also your friend.”
When she heard Mu Ming say so, Qin Muxuan’s worries were erased and she changed back to her usual tone. “Yes, we are friends too.”
Qin Muxuan nudged Jian Xi with her shoulder and teased, “Maybe our relationship is getting closer now, isn’t it, Jian Xi?”
Jian Xi patted Qin Muxuan reproachfully, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Qin Muxuan smiled even more unscrupulously. She raised an eyebrow at Mu Ming and signaled Jian Xi with her gaze, “So, you finally made it!”
Mu Ming’s face shone with happiness and he was just about to nod when Jian Xi interjected, “Come on. He wouldn’t have made it without my permission, okay?”
After she said that, even the surrounding had gone silent for a moment.
Realizing what she had just said, Jian Xi really wanted to hit the ground with her head and die right there.
Qin Muxuan finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.
Jian Xi looked at Qin Muxuan, who was holding her stomach and laughing, and she said coldly, “Are you done?”
Hearing that Jian Xi sounded threatening, Qin Muxuan restrained herself a little. “Okay, I won’t laugh anymore.”
Jian Xi still had an unhappy look on her face. It was even worse now that Qin Muxuan tried not to laugh while she really wanted to.
“Alright, I’ll stop messing with you. You don’t have to take me back home today. And Mu Ming can take you back.”
Qin Muxuan pushed Jian Xi into the car and leaned closer to her ear. “Enjoy your time with him alone!”
Jian Xi didn’t bother herself to try to stop Qin Muxuan saying something like that. “You really don’t need me to take you home. How will you go back home with Xiaoxin?”
“It’s fine. We’ll ask Xiaobai to give us a ride. There’s no need to worry about us,” Qin Muxuan waved her hands.
“Then be careful. Don’t get photographed again, or you’ll end up being the next most popular hashtag,” Jian Xi did not sound like she really cared. She looked like she would be more than happy to see that happen again.
Qin Muxuan was speechless, “Just mind your own business!” She pushed Jian Xi into the passenger seat as she spoke.
Jian Xi was just about to refute it when the car door closed in front of her.
Qin Muxuan ran back and said a few words to Mu Ming before Mu Ming got into the car.
Looking at the back of the car, Qin Muxuan sighed to herself that Jian Xi had really found her happiness this time.
After the car started, the people inside the car fell into awkward silence again.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Jian Xi coughed dryly. “What did Xiao Xuan say to you just now?”
Mu Ming paused for a moment and said, “Nothing. She just told me to treat you well. She’s really a good friend.”
Jian Xi was touched but she sounded as if she disliked her, “She talks too much.”
Mu Ming murmured, “I would do it even if she hadn’t said it. I will treat you well, Jian Xi.”
Jian Xi felt so warm, and her heart felt warm too.
Mu Ming’s eyes were full of joy.
After hesitating for a while, Mu Ming asked, “Is everything that they said online about Muxuan and Gu Zijin the truth?”
Jian Xi didn’t answer right away. She thought for a moment and nodded. “Most of them are truths.”
Mu Ming frowned, “Xiaoxin is Gu Zijin’s child. And they’re living together?”
Jian Xi didn’t refute it. Mu Ming knew that it must be the truth.
Mu Ming sighed to himself. It seemed that Yin Youting really didn’t have a chance this time. Mu Ming thought about comforting him, but given his temper, he thought he’d better not do that.
Qin Muxuan sent a message to Xiaobai, asking him to tell his assistant to come and pick her and Xiaoxin up.
After waiting for a while, a car stopped in front of Qin Muxuan, but it was not the MPV that Xiaobai normal used. Instead, it was Gu Zijin’s personal car, the car that looked so familiar to her.
Sure enough, when the car window in the driver’s seat rolled down, Gu Zijin’s face appeared.
Seeing Gu Zijin, Xiaoxin trotted over. “Papa, are you here to pick me and mommy up?”
Gu Zijin smiled and nodded, “Get in the car.”
Qin Muxuan took Xiaoxin into the car speechlessly. Xiaobai was already in the car, so she urged Gu Zijin to drive quickly. She didn’t want to be photographed again.
Qin Muxuan looked a bit unhappy and her tone was a little harsh, “Why are you here again?”
Hearing the word “again”, Gu Zijin’s face twitched slightly. He had serious doubts about his charm. How come that she disliked him so much? He was, after all, President Gu of the Gu Group!
“Xiaobai said that you want him to pick you up. I just finished my work and I was going home, so I thought I might as well come and pick you up.” Gu Zijin explained without changing his expression.
Qin Muxuan looked like she wouldn’t buy it. The Gu Group and the set were on opposite directions, and he talked as if he would drive by the set as he went home!
Gu Zijin coughed dryly and changed the subject. “Xiaoxin, how was your day today?”
Initially, he thought that Xiaoxin stayed home with the aunt, but later on, he found out that Qin Muxuan had brought her to the set.
Xiaoxin spoke the plain truth, “Godmother and Uncle Mu Ming took me out today.”
Gu Zijin raised an eyebrow, “Uncle Mu Ming?” He’d heard about the name but he was not familiar with him.
Xiaoxin thought that Gu Zijin didn’t know who he was, so she explained, “Uncle Mu Ming is Uncle Youting’s friend.”
The moment she said that, Qin Muxuan felt that she was screwed but it was impossible for her to get Xiaoxin to take back what she just said.
Sure enough, with Gu Zijin as the center, the surroundings seemed to be several degrees colder.
Gu Zijin glanced at Qin Muxuan and Qin Muxuan shrank her neck. She felt that his gaze was somewhat a little fierce.
