Chapter 71: I Am Sorry
After they arrived at the Gu’s house, Mrs. Gu held Qin Xiaobai up and brought him to eat snacks. As Qin Muxuan wanted to get off the car, Gu Zijin directly locked the car. She soon regretted having reacted so slowly that she hadn’t got off with Qin Xiaobai.
“Explain to me.”
When she heard the cold voice of Gu Zijin, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but shiver, not knowing what to say. As she was about to speak, Gu Zijin’s phone rang. Then he answered the call,
“Hello.”
“President, the photos of Miss Qin, Qin Xiaobai and an unknown man are spread crazily on the Internet right now. Do you need to have a look?”
“Send the link to me.”
“Yes, sir.”
As Gu Zijin clicked on the link, he felt a stabbing pain in his eyes because he saw the headline ‘A Family of Three’. Then he read the articles under the photos, which claimed that Qin Xiaobai’s father was Young Master Yin, or something like that. Gu Zijin turned off his phone and said in a chilling voice,
“Qin Muxuan, do you want my kid to call another man daddy? Huh? Who gives you the guts to do that?”
“I don’t. Yin Youting hasn’t met Xiaobai before, so I brought Xiaobai over. It’s just a meal and we only wanted to bid farewell to each other once and for all…”
Gu Zijin showed an ironic look on his face and said,
“Bid farewell? How about declaring that I am Xiaobai’s father? What do you think?”
After Qin Muxuan heard that, her eyes were filled with astonishment. If Gu Zijin declared that now, her relationship with him would also be exposed. With her face turning pale, she shook her head right away and said,
“It’s not good for either of us…”
Her words irritated Gu Zijin again. As he remembered Qin Muxuan’s behaviors over the past few days, he found himself being controlled by his possessiveness of her. Then he told Lisa to release the news of the relationship between Qin Xiaobai and him right away. After that, he opened the car door and walked out of the car with a formidable look in his eyes. Qin Muxuan caught up with him at once and said,
“Gu Zijin, the consequence would be severe if you announce that. Elderly Lady Gu wouldn’t agree to it either, also…”
Gu Zijin turned around and carried her in his arms all of a sudden. Then he walked upstairs while saying in a deep and hoarse voice that seemed to come from hell,
“Qin Muxuan, I’ve given you a chance to be my wife. Since you don’t want it, you just have to be my lover.”
With Qin Muxuan’s face turning pale, she was already thrown onto the bed by Gu Zijin violently. Then he unbuttoned his shirt and pressed on her.
After he had given vent to his desire, Qin Muxuan couldn’t stop crying. Gu Zijin held her in his arms tightly as if he wanted her to melt into his bones and flesh. Finally, after he regained a bit of his calmness, he looked to Qin Muxuan with tenderness in his eyes and wiped the tears on the corner of her eyes, saying in a low voice,
“Be a good girl, and I won’t punish you. Understand?”
Qin Muxuan bit Gu Zijin’s hand right away, making the latter groan with a frown. As Qin Muxuan tasted blood, she let go of his hand and turned around silently like a wounded beast. Gu Zijin rubbed his eyebrows at a loss. He found himself unable to guess out her thought and control her, and he didn’t even know when this started.
The news released by the Gu Group attracted the attention of a great many people. According to the official announcement, Gu Zijin was Qin Xiaobai’s father. No matter how surprised the public was, everyone still had to accept the fact. Lots of people gave heart-broken comments on the Internet:
@Pig Man: Ehhhhhhhhhh, my dear president already has a child?!
@Dummy Bear: That’s so annoying. So, the woman my president loves is Qin Muxuan? I just saw the news of her bringing Xiaobai to eat lunch with another man!
@Enchanting Sight in Spring: I agree to the last comment! Qin Muxuan is so shameless!
…
The news caused a huge stir on the Internet overnight and was still discussed more and more heatedly. Elderly Lady Gu was so angry and she wanted to question Qin Muxuan right away. However, Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan locked themselves in their room the whole time, and Elderly Lady Gu could do nothing about it. On the other side, Qin Muxuan finally fell asleep while holding her quilt in her arms like a child who lost sense of security. Gu Zijin stood up to take a shower. When he came back, he covered Qin Muxuan’s body with her quilt and held her in his arms. As he smelled the pleasant scent from Qin Muxuan’s body, he showed a tender look in his eyes while thinking, ‘When do you become part of my life?’
Then he turned on his phone. When he saw the message which Lisa had sent to him, the look in his eyes turned gloomy. Someone had already found out Qin Muxuan’s identity as the lady of the Qin family, someone started to make an issue of Qin Xiaobai’s age, and someone even wrote a long article which stated that the reason for the birth of Qin Xiaobai, the five-year-old boy, must have something to do with the Qin family’s bankruptcy, which meant that the relationship between Qin Muxuan and Gu Zijin was not that simple.
The article got a lot of comments. Although it had stated almost all the truth, Gu Zijin still got a bit angry seeing the article being straightly posted. Then he called Lisa right away to let her deal with those public opinions and prepare a lawyer’s letter to send to those websites. After he had given all the instructions, he looked to Qin Muxuan who was still sleeping on the bed, feeling very protective of her all of a sudden.
In a fancy flat.
Yan Yuxiao stared at the rumors and gossips most of which were about Qin Muxuan with a half smile on her face, feeling extremely contented. She hadn’t anticipated that Gu Zijin would have reacted so drastically and lost his sanity because of Qin Muxuan since he was always able to stay calm. However, the result was exactly what she wanted.
After Yan Yuxiao glanced through all the news, she realized that it was about time to finish the rest of her plans. She dialed her assistant’s number and tweeted something to defend Qin Muxuan. In no time, she received plenty of comments most of which were compliments.
@Little Carrot: I think Yan Yuxiao should be Xiaobai’s mother. They played mother and son in that movie and they just seemed so close to each other!
@Carrot Head: That’s right! Hasn’t Yan Yuxiao dated our dear president before? As I see it, this Qin Muxuan must have seduced our president.
@Ballache Lolita: I am so touched. I heard that Yan Yuxiao has been sent to the hospital for saving Xiaobai. Now she’s even so kind as to defend Qin Muxuan. Oh my.
@Breathe Freely: You guys are all onlookers. Yan Yuxiao only wants more attention and pretends to be kind. Everyone knows that she is a grumpy B-list star.
…
Despite some reproach, Yan Yuxiao still felt very satisfied when she turned off her phone since most of the comments were praises to her. Then she went to sleep early in a happy mood.
When Qin Muxuan woke up, she found herself in Gu Zijin’s arms. She wanted to push him away subconsciously, but he suddenly opened his eyes and said softly,
“Sorry.”
After Qin Muxuan heard that, her eyes were filled with tears. This was the first time she heard someone saying sorry to her. When Elderly Lady Gu forced her to leave, she didn’t receive any apology from anyone when she came back. Then, she couldn’t help but get a bit touched.
