Chapter 5: Her Memory
“Ms. Qin. You’d better not say too soon. The young master is too young and it will be difficult for him to adapt to a new environment immediately. Therefore, this two-month company can help him to go through the transitional period, and also can fulfill your wish. This is just to kill two birds with one stone.”
Li Suyu pushed up his glasses and looked at Qin Muxuan, waiting for her response.
Qin Muxuan opened her mouth and wanted to say something but she hesitated.
Even though she didn’t want to live there at all, for Qin Xiaobai, she had to.
“Ok, I promise you.”
Qin Muxuan lowered her head, bit her lips and made this tough decision.
It was really good that that man didn’t reject and agreed that she could accompany Xiaobai for another two months.
After all, considering Gu Zijin’s power, if he didn’t agree, she could find no way to resist him. So it would be better to submit to his decision.
Qin Muxuan made a deep breath and then her eyes showed some firmness.
It was just to go to Gu’s house and live there for two months. Not a big deal. Anyway, it wasn’t a tiger’s cave.
The next day, Li Suyu arrived at her apartment on time and sent her and Qin Xiaobai to Gu’s house.
Last night, Qin Muxuan talked with Qin Xiaobai and told him she would take him to his father today. At first, Qin Xiaobai doubted her words. After repeated confirmation, he was excited for the whole night until Qin Muxuan coaxed him into sleeping at midnight.
Not until Xiaobai was taken to this grand and castle-like building by this expensive black Bentley, did he totally believe his mother’s words.
Dabai didn’t lie to him!
‘I, Qin Xiaobai, now have my own father!’
Gu Zijin was standing at the door.
Qin Xiaobai was surprised to see Gu Zijin. Then he turned back and asked Qin Muxuan unbelievably, “Dabai, is he the handsome uncle yesterday? Do you ask him to play my father again?”
Looking at his disappointed look, Qin Muxuan had a bitter feeling. She touched his shoulder and gave him some comfort. “No, this uncle is really your father and not an actor. He is your biological father.”
Qin Xiaobai opened his eyes wide and blankly stared at that man.
‘He is my father?!’
Qin Muxuan saw his reaction, and thought he didn’t like Gu Zijin. She said softly, “Xiaobai, you don’t like him?”
“Yes! I like him!” Qin Xiaobai shook his head heavily and seriously asked, “Dabai, can I…” He hesitated, “can I call him daddy?”
“Of course.” Qin Muxuan gave him an encouraging smile, “go ahead, Xiaobai.”
Qin Xiaobai nervously grasped the corners of his clothes, bashfully went to Gu Zijin and shyly said, “Un…Uncle, can I… I… call you daddy?”
Gu Zijin’s eyes rested on this little cute boy.
The boy had fair skin which shone in the sunlight and his slightly rubby cheeks grew pink due to bashfulness, making him look like an angel from heaven.
This was his son!
Gu Zijin’s heart suddenly became soft, and his face with clear features showed gentleness. He hugged Qin Xiaobai, and the milk-like fragrance from this kid filled his heart.
His voice became warmer, “Yes, you can.”
Qin Xiaobai was dumbfounded for a moment, but soon he hugged Gu Zijin, too. He said sweetly and excitedly, “Daddy! YES! I have a father! A really handsome father!”
Qin Xiaobai’s joy was totally expressed on his face.
From now on, if someone dared to say he was a bastard, he would take his father to school and make everyone else envy him.
Seeing the happy face of Qin Xiaobai, Qin Muxuan had mixed feelings.
It seemed right to take Xiaobai back to Gu’s family.
He really needed a father.
In the past years, as his mother, she totally knew what happened to her son.
When he came back with dirty appearance and an unhappy face, and when he cried for his father repeatedly, nobody knew how sad and heartbroken she was.
Now everything went better, and she finally took Xiaobai to meet his father.
But two months later, she would be separated from her son, who had accompanied her for 5 years, and she didn’t know whether they could meet or not in the future.
Thinking about that, Qin Muxuan felt a heartache. She stared at the happy little boy and didn’t blink. She almost cried. But she soon had a deep breath and suppressed her sorrow.
“Xiaobai, come here and give Grandma a hug.”
When Qin Xiaobai still wanted to stay in Gu Zijin’s arms, he was embraced by another one.
Elderly Lady Gu looked at the little boy in her arms happily with a loving face.
Mrs. Gu smiled, too. Yesterday Elderly Lady Gu didn’t show any affection for this boy. But today, when she saw Qin Xiaobai, who looked really like Gu Zijin at a young age, her attitude was totally changed.
“Wow, hi, Grandma.”
Maybe because of the blood tie, Qin Xiaobai soon got familiar with these two people. He shook his bottom and kissed Elderly Lady Gu and then Mrs. Gu, making both of them even more joyful.
Mrs. Gu loved her grandson very much. “Xiaobai, Grandma prepared new clothes for you. Come and have a look.”
Qin Xiaobai was suddenly reminded of something. He waved his hand to Qin Muxuan and said, “Dabai, can I go upstairs with Grandma to see my new clothes?”
Qin Muxuan smiled and answered, “Yes, you can.”
Qin Xiaobai hugged Mrs. Gu’s neck immediately and they happily went upstairs.
Before his leaving, Elderly Lady Gu looked at Qin Muxuan in an obscure manner.
Now just she and Gu Zijin were standing there.
Qin Muxuan suddenly realized this situation, and exactly saw the man looking at her.
The two eyes were as dark as obsidian. They were also like vortexes, which could almost engulf her. The sorrow and bitterness caused by the leaving of her son became fear at that moment.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
In some cases, even though you tried your best to forget something, your body would still remember it.
Qin Muxuan was standing still. She felt all her blood frozen and the memory of that night slowly came back.
Five years ago, she was in the cold water under his body…
