Chapter 26: Reward
Qin Muxuan’s watery eyes showed a sense of loss, “But you also know that at that time, Qin Family had such a big accident and was forced to declare bankruptcy, so I didn’t have a chance to continue to study. However, I have been self-taught these years.”
Gu Zijin slightly nodded and was deep in meditation, “Perhaps I can send you abroad for future study as a reward for bringing Xiaobai up alone.
However, when he said that, Gu Zijin was reluctant to let her go deep inside. Qin Muxuan was a little attracted by his idea.
If she studied abroad, she could achieve her dream. But the next second, Qin Xaobai’s pure and lovely face emerged in her mind. She already was running out of time with Qin Xiaobai. If she chose to go abroad now, she would never see Qin Xiaobai again…
“Thank you for your kindness, but since I signed a contract to stay with Xiaobai, then I will stay at Gu Family for the next two months and not go anywhere.”
Gu Zijin’s eyebrows and eyes showed slight surprise, but he didn’t continue to say more.
When they went back to Gu Family, Qin Xiaobai ran out with his small short legs and held Qin Muxuan’s legs lovingly after he heard the sound of the car shut down.
“Dabai, why are you back now? Aunt Chen said you could have a rest today.”
Qin Xiaobai seemed to think of something and there was light in his black eyes, “Mommy, I got No. 1 in today’s exam.”
“Then what shall Dabai reward Xiaobai with?”
“Um…”
Qin Xiaobai bowed his head as if thinking very seriously, and then said softly, “Mommy, all you have to do is to stay by my side.”
Gu Zijin gave the key to the housekeeper to park the car. When he saw Qin Xiaobai chattering in Qin Muxuan’s arms, his deep eyes couldn’t help showing tenderness.
At the end of the dinner, Elderly Lady Gu asked Gu Zijin to stay. Qin Muxuan knew what she should do, so she went upstairs instead of staying in the living room.
Qin Xiaobai pulled Qin Muxuan’s clothes, raised his head and said, “Mommy, can you sleep with me tonight? You haven’t slept with me for a long time.”
Qin Xiaobai was so pitiful that Qin Muxuan didn’t have the heart to refuse. What was more, she had been sleeping with Gu Zijin for two days. Although they didn’t do anything, in the eyes of Gu Family, she must have shamelessly seduced Gu Zijin.
The spacious living room.
Elderly Lady Gu looked at Gu Zijin graciously, “I take your words into heart. Yes, I don’t have the right to interfere in your marriage, but Yuxiao is my old friend’s only granddaughter. Even for my sake, you should help her…”
“What’s more, Yuxiao grew up together with you.”
Gu Zijin said with an indifferent look, “I know.”
Then he turned to go upstairs. Grandma Gu frowned slightly, but she was also a little relieved. At least, she should let Gu Zijin do something to make Qin Muxuan give up entangling Gu Zijin emotionally.
In the room, Qin Muxuan was dressing Qin Xiaobai in pajamas. The door behind opened and Qin Xiao revealed some excitement in his eyes, “Daddy.”
Gu Zijin answered lightly and his mouth curled up slightly, “Xiaobai, daddy wants to say something to you in private. Come out.”
Qin Xiaobai took a glance at Qin Muxuan and went out with his short legs after getting Qin Muxuan’s permission. Qin Muxuan watched the big and small figures disappear in her view, feeling confused.
What would Gu Zijin whisper to a five-year-old child?
When Qin Xiaobai came back, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help asking, “Xiaobai, what did daddy say to you?”
“Daddy told me that I am a big boy now and I shouldn’t be around mommy all the time.”
“…”
“Mommy, you should sleep with daddy tonight. I can sleep alone.”
Qin Xiaobai happily ran to push Qin Muxuan out, “Mommy, good night.”
Qin Muxuan’s lips slightly twitched. Qin Xiaobai loved to stick to her and he now changed so quickly. There must be something wrong. What did Gu Zijin say?
She opened the door and went into the master bedroom. Gu Zijin was standing in front of the French window with a lit cigarette among his slender fingers. When he heard the sound behind, he threw the cigarette into the ashtray.
“Qin Muxuan, for the sake of Xiaobai’s mental health, you and I sleep in the same room these two months.”
“What does this have to do with mental health…”
“Um, Xiaobai said his classmate’s father and mother sleep together.”
Qin Muxuan gently bit her lips. She didn’t believe this was the idea of Xiaobai. Gu Zijin must have said something to Xiaobai. However, it was harder than touching the sky to open his mouth and let him tell her the truth.
At this moment, Qin Xiaobai lay on the bed shaking his short legs. Just now, daddy said that if he wanted a brother or sister, he couldn’t keep pestering mommy to sleep with him. Although he was reluctant to agree, he really wanted a brother or sister. Thinking that he would be able to squeeze the face of a younger child than him, Qin Xiaobai felt happy at heart.
The next day.
Qin Muxuan got up as usual and then went to work with Gu Zijin.
When sitting in the car, she suddenly remembered that she hadn’t given the chocolate to Qin Xiaobai. But when she opened the bag, she found the chocolate was already gone. She felt confused. Gu Zijin looked sideways, “What’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing. I just lost something given by my colleague before.”
“Um, if it is not so important, stop looking for it.”
Qin Muxuan almost finished the work and only needed to put the finishing touches. But there was nothing for Qin Muxuan to worry about because Chu Feng was dealing with it.

Gu Zijin answered a call and Situ Ming’s teasing came from the other end, “The person from my company has been there for almost a month and a half. President Gu, you wouldn’t want to borrow someone and never send her back, would you?”
Gu Zijin’s cold and handsome face showed a faint smile. He knew Situ Ming intended to ridicule him and said coldly, “It is not the end of the project. Are you short of people?”
“No. I am just a little curious. Gu Zijin, you won’t fall in love with her, will you?”
“Do you still want the land in the north of the city?”
“Well, well, well. It’s not fair that you abuse your position.”
Gu Zijin directly hung up the phone. Although Situ Ming was the President of Qixing Group, he was not a serious man. At that time, his family chased him back to China and forced him to take over the company.
Hearing a gentle knock at the door, Gu Zijin slightly pursed his lips, “Come in.”
Qin Muxuan came in with a document, “President Gu, I already finished the work of this project. I will go back to Qixing Group today.”
“…”
Gu Zijin showed a little displeasure in his eyes and stood up, “The project is not over yet. As the person in charge, you have to keep an eye on it until the end.”
“But Chu Feng is still here…”
“Are you the person in charge or Chu Feng?”
Qin Muxuan was choked by his words and she could only give up.
