Chapter 403: Bodyguards
“What are you looking at? Are you feeling sorry for her?” When Gu Zijin noticed that Qin Muxuan was looking back, he was somewhat dissatisfied with her being so soft-hearted, but he was also proud of it.
Qin Muxuan turned around, smiled at him and said, “No, it’s just that I suddenly feel she’s quite pitiful.”
“She’s not pitiful. If it weren’t for her, mommy wouldn’t have been away for so long!” Xiaobai held Qin Muxuan’s arm and protested unhappily.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Qin Muxuan was stunned and felt a faint pain in her heart. Xiaobai was right. If it wasn’t for Yan Xiaoyu, Xiaobai wouldn’t have suffered so much at such a young age.
With that in mind, the inopportune sympathy she had for Yan Yuxiao was suddenly gone.
“Xiaobai, it’s all my fault. I will not leave you again,” she promised as she touched the fuzzy hair on Xiaobai’s head.
Xiaobai was happy and rubbed his head against Qin Muxuan’s warm palm.
Seeing the heart-warming interaction between the mother and son, Gu Zijin felt much more relaxed and completely recovered from the shock he had just had.
“By the way, why did you suddenly come over here?” After the three of them got into the car, it crossed Qin Muxuan’s mind and she asked.
“And Xiaobai, I have called you so many times. Why didn’t you answer it? Don’t you know that I’m very worried?”
Xiaobai rarely saw Qin Muxuan being so serious and knew that he was wrong. And he felt a bit guilty.
He apologized, “I’m sorry, mommy. Daddy and I just wanted to surprise you. I didn’t mean to make you worry. I won’t do it again next time. Mommy, please forgive me.”
As he said that, he stretched out his fingers to grab Qin Muxuan’s sleeve and gently shook it. It didn’t look like that he was apologizing, but that he was playing cute, and his voice was so sweet, too.
It was rare for him to play cute and Qin Muxuan couldn’t resist it at all. In fact, she wasn’t angry in the first place. She was more worried.
But she couldn’t let Xiaobai get away so easily from not picking up his phone this time. She needed to make him see how serious it was.
Qin Muxuan stopped herself from being softhearted and said harshly, “Sit straight and talk properly.”
“Explain yourself. What’s going on? And your Weibo post, do you know what kind of impact it will have on you? !”
Seeing that Qin Muxuan was really angry, Xiaobai did not dare to fool her. He quietly glanced at Gu Zijin who pretended to be driving seriously. He silently complained about how unreliable his father was. He knew that if he didn’t confess, mommy would really be angry.
“Mommy,” he said seriously, “I knew what would happen when I did that, but I had to do it. You are my mommy, the one I love most. I can’t just stand there and do nothing when I know how much you’ve suffered.”
Qin Muxuan was stunned. She looked at her son, who had grown a lot compared with three years ago, and she felt a little dazed.
Before she knew it, the once tender and naughty little baby had already become a half-grown child. He had his own thoughts and he could make his own decisions.
“Besides,” Xiaobai held Qin Muxuan’s hand, “I’ve never liked her. And Dad will help me too. He won’t let those nasty comments appear under my post.”
“Mommy, I trust Dad. So please trust me and Dad too.”
Then, he leaned over to hug Qin Muxuan and put his chin on her shoulder. “Mommy, I’ve grown up. Dad and I will protect you.”
Qin Muxuan felt a lump in her throat and she hugged her little boy tightly.
“I know, my baby. Thank you. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you.”
They hugged each other tightly for a moment before Qin Muxuan let go and asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t you answer my phone?”
Xiaobai pouted and betrayed his teammate without hesitation, “It’s all Dad’s fault. He said that he was coming to pick you up and that he wanted to surprise you. He also said that you would finish shooting soon and he told me not to answer your call.”
Qin Muxuan rolled her eyes and said coldly, “Gu Zijin, what a childish adult you are.”
Gu Zijin, who hadn’t said anything so far, laughed dryly and apologized the same way Xiaobai did, “I was wrong. I won’t do it again, dear.”
“Don’t dear me!”
Qin Muxuan was in fact overjoyed but she couldn’t help but refute.
She felt that her face was a little hot, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She had done all that she shouldn’t have done with this man. They had got two children together. How come she was still acting like an innocent girl whose heart would skip a beat whenever Gu Zijin flirted with her?
Gu Zijin was unhappy, “You have said yes to my proposal. Of course, I can call you dear!”
“Ah…” He seemed to have suddenly remembered something. He slammed on the brakes and turned his head to stare at Qin Muxuan angrily, “You won’t go back on your word, right?”
Qin Muxuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Ever since she came back and the two of them once again confirmed their relationship, Gu Zijin seemed to have become particularly childish. He was nothing close to the bossy CEO he used to be.
“Alright, focus on the road. Stop talking nonsense.”
Hearing her words, Gu Zijin grunted reluctantly and continued driving.
No one spoke in the car, but the atmosphere wasn’t dull. The mother and son nestled against each other. It looked so sweet.
“After we get home, I’ll arrange two bodyguards for you.”
Gu Zijin suddenly said.
Feeling confused, Qin Muxuan looked at him, “Why suddenly do that? I’m just some unpopular star. Is it necessary?”
She couldn’t see Gu Zijin’s face, but she could hear the seriousness in his words, “It’s not your fans that I fear. It’s Yan Yuxiao.”
“After what happened today, with Yan Yuxiao’s personality, she definitely won’t let go so easily. And…”
Gu Zijin pursed his lips and said awkwardly, “I did something to the Yan Family.”
“What?!” Qin Muxuan was completely unaware of that. She looked at him in shock.
“Ahem…” Gu Zijin coughed lightly, and a suspicious pink rose from the tip of his ear, “I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn’t expect that Yan Yuxiao would react so badly and that she’d go after you.”
“I’m worried, but I can’t always be by your side.”
Qin Muxuan nodded dumbly, and it took her quite a long time before she came to her senses. “This surprise is really…”
“What?” From Gu Zijin’s voice, Qin Muxuan could tell that he was a bit angry from shame.
She couldn’t help but raise a smile on her face, her eyes full of happiness. “Nothing. I like it very much. Thank you, Zijin.”
As Qin Muxuan thanked him so obediently and instantly, Gu Zijin felt much happier.
Thus, it was settled that Qin Muxuan would have two bodyguards.
The next day, when Qin Muxuan went downstairs to have breakfast, she saw two beautiful women in smooth and clean suits standing quietly in the living room.
“From today on, they will follow you 24/7 to protect you.”
Gu Zijin handed her a glass of milk and looked at her deeply. “Qin Muxuan, I don’t want to see what happened yesterday. If it happened again, I wouldn’t be able to take it.”
