Chapter 382: He Has Changed
Although the food in front of them was delicious, Jian Xi found it hard to swallow. After all, the person who was sitting opposite her was Gu Zijin!
Jian Xi stole a glance at Gu Zijin and saw that although the chopsticks in his hand were moving, he was in fact staring at Qin Muxuan, and his gaze was unbelievably passionate.
Jian Xi shivered and kept pretending to eat. In fact, she didn’t want to eat but she didn’t dare to be the first person to put down the chopsticks.
Jian Xi felt the intensity of his gaze. Of course Qin Muxuan felt it too. Finally, she couldn’t stand it anymore. And she put down her chopsticks, “I’m full.”
Gu Zijin glanced at Qin Muxuan’s bowl in which there was still half a bowl of rice and said in a tone of dismay, “There’s so much rice left. You sure you’re full?”
Even though Qin Muxuan knew that it was shameful to waste food, she couldn’t help but mutter, “That’s none of your business.”
Gu Zijin raised an eyebrow, “What did you say?”
Hearing the flat tone of Gu Zijin’s, Qin Muxuan admitted defeat and picked up the bowl again. “Nothing. I can still eat.”
Gu Zijin nodded in agreement, “You should eat more because you are too thin. Otherwise, it won’t feel nice when I touch you.”
Qin Muxuan froze and stared at the man opposite her. Her eyes were watery, and she looked both angry and shy.
Seeing Qin Muxuan’s expression, Gu Zijin felt a little better. Humph, you’re the one who decides not to sleep with him today!
President Gu didn’t realize that he was now acting exactly like a husband who had a lot to complain about his wife.
Qin Muxuan looked at Xiaobai and Xiaoxin and saw that they didn’t seem to be affected. She was relieved and continued to eat, but this time she ate much faster.
Qin Muxuan cursed Gu Zijin for being shameless to herself. How could he say something like that in front of the children?
Xiaoxin didn’t understand what Gu Zijin said, and Xiaobai pretended not to understand. So it was true: In terms of being shameless, when his father claimed the second place, no one dared to claim the first place.
When she saw how Qin Muxuan responded, Jian Xi who had meant to put down her chopsticks continued to eat again, and this time her hands even trembled slightly.
Finally, there was nothing left in her bowl. Qin Muxuan handed it to Gu Zijin, “Is that okay?”
Gu Zijin raised his eyes slightly. “Very good. It’s very clean.” He sounded like he was coaxing a kid in the kindergarten.
Qin Muxuan rolled her eyes, got up and patted Jian Xi’s shoulder. “Are you done? Let’s go upstairs.”
As if having been granted amnesty, Jian Xi put down her bowl and walked up the stairs with Qin Muxuan.
Thinking of something, Qin Muxuan turned her head and said to Xiaobai, “Xiaobai, play with your sister when you’re done.”
Xiaoxin pouted slightly and was a little unhappy, “I want to play with Godmother!”
Qin Muxuan explained, “Godmother and I have something to say. We’ll play with you later.”
Xiaoxin wanted to say something but she was quickly distracted by Xiaobai’s voice. “Xiaoxin, don’t you want to play with me?” And he sounded quite hurt.
Xiaoxin was a little flustered, “Of course not. I like Brother Xiaobai a lot!”
When she saw that Xiaoxin was talking with her brother, Qin Muxuan took Jian Xi upstairs and didn’t look back at Gu Zijin.
But had she turned around, she would probably be scared to death by President Gu’s resentful look.
After turning the corner and making sure that the people below couldn’t see them, Jian Xi finally got relaxed. She leaned on the wall, took two deep breaths, patted her chest and said with a lingering sense of fear, “Oh my God, I feel like I’m being suffocated during the meal.”
Qin Muxuan felt her eyes twitch. “Was it so bad?”
Jian Xi rolled her eyes. “Didn’t you see the look of your better half’s? It was too oppressive.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t bother herself to correct Jian Xi when she said “your better half”.
Jian Xi calmed down and seemed to find it a little funny. She even chuckled, causing Qin Muxuan to look at her questioningly.
Jian Xi patted Qin Muxuan on the shoulder, “But to be honest, I didn’t expect that one day I’d see bitterness on President Gu’s face. When you said that you’d sleep with me, the expression on his face was really hilarious. It was like I was your lover and he was the husband who got abandoned. Hahaha, it was just so funny. I really regret that I couldn’t record that moment. Hahaha!”
As Jian Xi became louder and louder, Qin Muxuan wanted to play a joke and bluff her. She smiled coldly and said, “Watch what you say. We’re in Gu Zijin’s house.”
Jian Xi’s smile froze in an instant and she carefully looked around. “President Gu can’t be so good that he can hear me talking here, can he?”
Qin Muxuan raised her chin slightly and signaled for the security camera in the corner.
Jian Xi’s smile completely disappeared and she cried, “Can I still leave here alive?”
Qin Muxuan shook her head solemnly. “Probably not.”
Jian Xi’s face was so crumpled as if she was about to cry in the blink of an eye.
Qin Muxuan tried hard to hold back her laughter but she failed.
Seeing Qin Muxuan laughing out loud, Jian Xi’s eyes slowly widened. She grabbed Qin Muxuan’s neck and pressed her downwards. She sounded furious, “Qin Muxuan, stop messing with me!”
Qin Muxuan rarely heard Jian Xi call her by her full name, so she knew that she was really angry, and she quickly stopped laughing and said, “Alright, I won’t laugh anymore. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have done that!”
Jian Xi snorted coldly and she slowly let go, but to be honest, after what had just happened, the pent-up feelings that had plagued her for the past few days had gone away a lot.
Jian Xi looked at Qin Muxuan thoughtfully and started to wonder if she was really joking or if she did it just to make her happy.
Qin Muxuan thought Jian Xi was still a little angry, so she coughed and looked serious, “Be honest with me, why are you so afraid of Gu Zijin?”
Jian Xi looked at Qin Muxuan in disbelief, “He is Gu Zijin, the president of the Gu Group, a game-changer. Everyone is afraid of him!”
Qin Muxuan was just about to say that she was not afraid of him, but suddenly she was stunned. That was weird. Why wasn’t she afraid of him now? She had been afraid of him before.
After all, at the beginning, the Qin family had a favor to ask him, so they targeted him. Although Qin Muxuan took no part in it, their relationship started in a calculating way, so Qin Muxuan was often afraid of Gu Zijin.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jian Xi said wonderingly, “Xiao Xuan, you’ve changed. You were obviously afraid of him in the past. When you talked about him before, you were not like this.”
Qin Muxuan felt confused. She felt that it was something that she couldn’t explain.
After a moment of silence, Qin Muxuan smiled at Jian Xi, “Maybe it’s not just me, he’s also changed.”
