Elderly Lady Gu didn’t see Gu Zijin, Qin Muxuan, or Qin Xiaobai at home, so she asked Aunt Chen, “Where did Zijin and Xiaobai go?”

“Young master took little young master and Miss Qin to the amusement park.”

“Amusement park?”

The face of Elderly Lady Gu suddenly became dark, “Why did they go to the amusement park? It’s okay for him to take Xiaobai to the amusement park, but why did he take Qin Muxuan with him too?”

Aunt Chen didn’t dare to make a sound. Although she thought Qin Muxuan was good, she was just a servant and she certainly couldn’t speak highly of Qin Muxuan.

When Gu Zijin drove back, it was already eleven o’clock at night. The living room on the first floor of the Gu Family was brightly lit.

Gu Zijin saw it and frowned slightly and coldly. Who was still in the living room at this time?

He entered the house and saw Elderly Lady Gu sitting on the sofa with an extremely cold face. Especially when she saw Gu Zijin walk in while holding Qin Muxuan, her face became colder. Qin Xiaobai just woke up and rubbed his eyes in a daze. Aunt Chen quietly took Qin Xiaobai upstairs.

“Zijin, grandma wants to talk to you.”

Gu Zijin didn’t stop, “Grandma, we can talk tomorrow. I’ll go upstairs first.”

Elderly Lady Gu felt a heartache when she saw Gu Zijin’s indifferent eyes. He had never treated her with this kind of attitude!

“Zijin, have you been mesmerized by this woman lately? Don’t forget how Qin Family framed you five years ago!”

“Grandma, you are my grandma and I respect you, so there is something that is left unsaid. I can decide my own affairs, including marriage.”

His tone was resolute and decisive. Gu Zijin went directly upstairs. Qin Muxuan actually woke up as soon as Elderly Lady Gu spoke. But she chose to pretend to sleep. If she woke up at that time, no one would get benefits.

She knew Elderly Lady Gu didn’t like her, but she never knew that the old lady disliked her so deeply. Well, it was reasonable. Five years ago, Qin Family did play tricks and even sold their daughter to win benefits. They caused that accident.

However, she didn’t expect… Gu Zijin would speak for her.

Gu Zijin slightly lowered the head. His cold eyes fell on the face of the woman in his arms and they became a little warm. He went straight to his room.

After Qin Muxuan lied down on the soft bed of Gu Zijin, she couldn’t fall asleep. She was obviously tired after playing the whole day. What Elderly Lady Gu said just now kept coming back to her mind. She felt her heart was stabbed by a needle. It didn’t bleed but it hurt. She felt very uncomfortable.

Gu Zijin hugged Qin Muxuan from behind. Qin Muxuan was stunned and her mind went blank suddenly. What was more, she felt a little angry! Gu Zijin was teasing her again!

“Gu Zijin!” Qin Muxuan opened her watery eyes and looked at the man behind with slight anger.

Gu Zijin leaned his head on one hand. His warm breath spread at the back of Qin Muxuan’s neck. His eyes vaguely showed affection.

“Didn’t you fall asleep?”

“…”

Qin Muxuan got up and kept a safe distance from Gu Zijin, “I’m going back to accompany Xiaobai.”

“Xiaobai is already five years old. He doesn’t need you to accompany him to sleep.”

“Then I will sleep in the guest room.”

Gu Zijin’s eyebrows and eyes didn’t show any anger, and an indecipherable smile came over his lips, “Qin Muxuan, you will make me believe that you have had deep feelings for me since long ago. So, you don’t dare to sleep in a room with me, and you are afraid of losing control.”

Qin Muxuan was speechless because of anger. Gu Zijin was confusing right and wrong. The one that would lose control was obviously him.

“You…”

“Qin Muxuan, don’t you dare? If you have no idea when you sleep in a bed with me, then we’ll both be all right.”

The words successfully dared Qin Muxuan. Qin Muxuan sat on the edge of the bed holding a pillow, and she said gently, “Then, please try to restrain yourself and don’t touch me, President Gu!”

Gu Zijin wore a spurious smile. He was sleeping on one hand and his deep eyes flashed a hint of pleasure.

However, after turning off the light and lying down, Qin Muxuan felt more and more that she was cheated by the old fox. The man next to her still smelled of cologne. The smell was light but it seemed to pull at her heartstrings intentionally or unintentionally.

After what happened five years ago… Did she really have some feelings for Gu Zijin? Qin Muxuan’s brain was as messy as a pot of porridge. She forced herself to close eyes and sleep, and she didn’t notice Gu Zijin was looking at her all the time sideways. His gaze was complex and full of thought.

The second day, when Qin Muxuan woke up and saw the alarm clock on the beside, she awoke from a daze instantly.

Two o’clock p. m.?! She actually didn’t wake up until the afternoon. Didn’t Gu Zijin wake her up?

Qin Muxuan hurried to wash up and go downstairs. Aunt Chen said hurriedly, “Miss Qin, the young master asked me to tell you that you could have a day off at home. You don’t have to go to the company today.

“Really?” Qin Muxuan slightly doubted whether her sense of hearing had a problem. Gu Zijin even asked her to have a rest today. It was really rare.

In case, Qin Muxuan went upstairs and called Gu Zijin to confirm. After two minutes, the person on the other end of the phone answered, “Hello.”

Gu Zijin’s low magnetic and attractive voice sounded gentle. Qin Muxuan couldn’t help thinking that the voice was actually a foul.

“The asking for leave today…”

“Well, I am not one of those vampire bosses. It makes senses to give you a day off since you’ve been with my son all day.”

This sounded right and reasonable. So, Qin Muxuan touched her nose and said, “Thank you.”

Unexpectedly, in the conference room on the 21st floor of Gu Group.

All the executives were shocked. Just now, Gu Zijin’s phone vibrated. Gu Zijin, who was always scrupulous in separating public from private interests, unexpectedly answered the phone. He also signaled others to pause the meeting and went out to answer the phone.

Lisa was still calm. After all, she had become inured to the unusual. Before, the President and Qin Muxuan ate together and did something else, which had already stupefied her.

After a few minutes, Gu Zijin hung up the phone and went back to the conference room. The little tenderness in his deep eyes vanished, and his eyes remained cold and grave, “Continue.”

Several executives were sweating as he watched them. They hurried to report the work seriously and made the budget.

Qin Muxuan slept late last night and she was not awake at all now. What Gu Zijin said just now seemed to reassure her, and she felt at ease and lay back in bed to make up her sleep.

Elderly Lady Gu snorted and looked upstairs, “She really regards herself as a young hostess of Gu Family. She even doesn’t get up early. She is even lazier than an old lady like me.”

Mrs. Gu Ye Han said gently beside, “Mom, perhaps Qin Muxuan is too tired because she has accompanied Xiaobai to play outside. Moreover, Zijin also gave her the day off. She seldom gets a rest. It’s not a big deal.”
