Chapter 102: Let Xiaobai Change His Last Name
The offensive comments kept surging on the Internet. Some of Qin Muxuan’s fans couldn’t bear to see that and started to curse the people who had insulted her. For the moment, the comment section was set on fire.
That was beyond Qin Muxuan’s expectation.
She felt extremely uncomfortable, especially when she saw the post which questioned Xiaobai’s last name. Then she turned off her cell phone and threw it away. As the saying goes, “out of sight, out of mind”.
Late at night, Qin Xiaobai went to bed after taking the shower. Before he slept, he said adorably that if Qin Muxuan didn’t tell him bedtime stories, he wouldn’t go to sleep.
While Qin Xiaobai was about to fall asleep, he sensed something vaguely. Then he opened his eyes with a drowsy look and said,
“Dabai, what happened?”
“Nothing, Xiaobai, did I wake you up?”
It might be because the sound of throwing her phone away was too loud. Then Qin Muxuan rubbed his soft hair tenderly and said,
“Sorry, Xiaobai, just go back to sleep. Do you need me to tell you another story?”
“No, I’m sleepy.”
After Qin Muxuan went back to her bedroom, she saw something flashing in front of her eyes. Then she was dragged into someone’s warm arms with force. Gu Zijin, chin against her shoulder, said in a deep and clear voice,
“It took you so long.”
“Xiaobai wouldn’t go to sleep.”
“OK, we can let Nanny Chen tell him bedtime stories.”
“I don’t know if he’ll agree.”
Qin Muxuan stayed in Gu Zijin’s arms with tenderness in her eyes, feeling her ear itchy against his short hair. Then with a sweet smile, she seemed to understand him,
“Are you jealous?”
“You can put it that way.”
Gu Zijin answered that in a deep voice. The woman’s body felt soft while sending out fragrance of the shower gel. He felt as if he had been thirsty in the desert for a long time and finally saw fresh water. It was undeniable that he had missed Qin Muxuan a lot and that this woman had already won his heart.
Qin Muxuan had wanted to make him shy. However, hearing him admitting that frankly, she became the one who got bashful.
‘Gosh, this man will never feel shy!’
Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but smile. She covered her mouth with her hand, redness showing on her fair cheeks,
“There’s no need to get jealous because of our son.”
When his slender and pretty fingers rubbed against Qin Muxuan’s loosened long hair, he pressed on the back of her head and planted a kiss on her tender lips,
“So, you should accompany me more.”
After saying that, he spun Qin Muxuan around and then threw her onto the bed. The whole night, they both didn’t sleep.
The next day when Qin Muxuan woke up, she only felt her body sore as if she had been run over by a truck. Instead, Gu Zijin seemed to be in a great mood. The suit he wore today made him look tall and elegant.
Right now, he was buttoning his shirt slowly with his back to her.
Qin Muxuan got off the bed carefully while wondering if she should ask Gu Zijin to restrain himself a bit. If he did this to her every day, she might really be unable to bear it…
When she was still thinking of it, Qin Muxuan was suddenly held up by Gu Zijin. Then she raised her head and met his gaze.
He found the little woman in his arms looking very cute with that dazed look.
Then he lifted her to the bathroom and then put her down.
“Do you need me to help you wash your body?”
“No!”
“Why rejected me so quickly? Are you sure about that?”
She knew that Gu Zijin was teasing her on purpose. However, he had said those words in a very serious tone as if he really wanted to do that. Then Qin Muxuan blushed right away, thinking,
‘Taking a bath together? That’s too outrageous!’
“No, no, no!” Saying that, she pushed Gu Zijin out of the bathroom directly.
After Qin Muxuan finished bathing, she found Gu Zijin still in the bathroom. He seemed to be waiting for her to go downstairs together.
Qin Muxuan remembered the post she saw yesterday. After pondering for a while, she said,
“I have an idea.”
“Say it.”
“I want to change Xiaobai’s last name to Gu.”
Hearing that, Gu Zijin looked to her and said,
“Why did you straighten things out so suddenly?”
“… The rumors against Xiaobai already started to spread. I’m afraid that it will influence him.”
“Have you discussed this with Xiaobai yet?” Gu Zijin continued, “It all depends on him.”
Qin Muxuan nodded.
She would definitely have to persuade Xiaobai first. Actually, she had been thinking about this ever since the moment she stepped into the Gu’s house.
The thing that worried her most finally happened.
Although Qin Xiaobai didn’t care about the rumors now, Qin Muxuan who had been hurt on the Internet knew that if she didn’t take any action, Qin Xiaobai would be the next victim.
She knew that Qin Xiaobai wasn’t as vulnerable as she thought, but she still wanted to protect him as his mother.
When Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan went downstairs, Elderly Lady Gu showed a sullen look right away as she saw the latter’s face. Moreover, today they were a bit later than usual, which made Elderly Lady Gu who had waited for a long while feel quite annoyed. She thumped her walking stick on the ground and said to Nanny Chen,
“Nanny Chen, heat the breakfast, I never eat cold dishes!”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Yes, my lady.”
Nanny Chen brought the dishes for heating. Qin Xiaobai who had eaten his fill ran over to Qin Muxuan the moment she went downstairs and then hugged her. With his eyes sparkling, he raised his cute little face and said,
“Dabai, you are so slow! You promised to go to the studio with me last night!”
As a rising child star, Qin Xiaobai had got lots of attention when beginning his film career. Moreover, his gorgeous face as well as his perfect acting skill at a young age had made him extremely popular.
A child star would have a lot of things to do. If it was not because Gu Zijin didn’t want his son to develop in the show business, Qin Xiaobai would be much busier than now.
Qin Muxuan rubbed his little head, feeling worried about him. Qin Xiaobai, as young as he was, already had a tight schedule. Even an adult might not be able to endure such busy days.
Though Qin Xiaobai didn’t say anything, Qin Muxuan still noticed the tiredness in his eyes, which made her feel heartbroken. Then she said to Xiaobai in a low voice,
“Xiaobai, do you need me to ask your manager to give you a day off?”
“No, Dabai, I’ve promised my manager that I’ll shoot the film today. I don’t want to bring trouble to the crew.”
“But I am worrying about your health. You have just finished shooting the reality show, now you have to shoot the film. I’m afraid that your body couldn’t take all of this.”
“No. Dabai, you are the one who told me that I should never go back on my word!”
Hearing Qin Xiaobai’s argument, Qin Muxuan was a bit speechless. Then she continued,
“We could bend the rules from time to time…”
“No way!”
Qin Xiaobai shook his head stubbornly. ‘I haven’t earned enough money to feed Dabai. I have to earn lots of money to guarantee that Dabai would live a happy and wealthy life!’
Qin Muxuan had no idea what Qin Xiaobai was thinking right now. Seeing that Qin Xiaobai still being quite insistent, she sighed secretly and held him in her arms while touching his forehead with her own,
“Then, when you really cannot stand it anymore, you have to tell me!”
