Chapter 356: Only Mutual Love Can Lead to Mutual Forgiveness
Lisa had people put the boxes in order quickly. Fortunately, Xiaobai’s room was big enough, so there was place for so many things.
Gu Zijin looked at the room, “Well, you can go back now. Remember to contact the designer.”
Lisa knew that Gu Zijin was talking about the designer who renovated Xiaobai’s room, so she replied with a “Yes” and left.
A little while later, Qin Muxuan saw that Gu Zijin was still playing with Xiaoxin and she was a little speechless. “Alright, it’s about time. I’ll help Xiaoxin take a shower now.”
Gu Zijin let go of Xiaoxin reluctantly, “Okay, I’ll wait for you in the room. Make it quick.”
Qin Muxuan nodded naturally; then she realized how ambiguous Gu Zijin’s words were. As expected, she saw Xiaobai looking at her with tease.
Qin Muxuan was speechless. How could Xiaobai know so much at such a young age? He must have learnt it from his dad.
So Qin Muxuan glared at Gu Zijin angrily and said, “Who told you to wait for me? Just do whatever you like!”
Gu Zijin was slightly stunned. He could swear that he meant nothing else when he said that he’d wait for her in the room.
Before he could reply, Gu Zijin saw the back of Qin Muxuan’s as if she were fleeing after being defeated. He smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Xiaobai patted Gu Zijin’s shoulder and encouraged him, “Dad, good luck!”
Gu Zijin smiled and touched Xiaobai’s head, “Thank you, my good son!”
Xiaobai was in a daze. He felt that his father smiled a lot more than he did in the past four years. He hoped that his father could win Da Bai over soon.
Qin Muxuan was absent-minded when she help Xiaoxin take the shower. She looked at Xiaoxin who was sitting in the bathtub playing with bubbles and asked without realizing what she was asking, “Do you like Papa?”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
After Gu Zijin’s brainwashing, Qin Muxuan could naturally say the word “Papa”.
Xiaoxin nodded without hesitation. “Yes! Papa treats me very well. He bought me a lot of Barbie dolls.”
Qin Muxuan was a little speechless. She didn’t know if Xiaoxin really liked Gu Zijin or liked the Barbie dolls given by Gu Zijin.
Xiaoxin didn’t hear Qin Muxuan reply, so she tilted her head and looked at her for a while and asked, “Does you like Papa, Mommy?”
Qin Muxuan didn’t expect Xiaoxin to ask this. She was a little flustered and she blushed a little. “What? What did you just say?”
Xiaoxin thought that Qin Muxuan didn’t hear what she said, so she repeated it, “Do you like Papa, Mommy?”
This time, Qin Muxuan didn’t immediately refute it. She was really thinking about it, and then she couldn’t help but mutter, “I suppose I do…”
Qin Muxuan smiled self-deprecatingly. Actually, she knew in her heart that she had fallen in love with Gu Zijin four years ago, but she didn’t dare to admit it. But what if she loved him?
Xiaoxin nodded firmly, “I knew that you liked Papa.”
When she heard Xiaoxin’s confident tone, Qin Muxuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “How did you know?”
Hearing this, Xiaoxin started to answer it seriously, “Whenever you see Papa, you blush. And you argue with Papa all the time. You never do that when you’re with Uncle Yin.”
Qin Muxuan was even more speechless, “How could you say that I like him just because I argue with him?” As for blushing, it was completely Gu Zijin’s fault!
Xiaoxin retorted solemnly, “My classmate once told me that all his parents did every day was argue, but every time after the argument, his dad would do something to make his mom happy and his mom would blush. Only those who liked each other can truly forgive each other. ”
Looking at Xiaoxin’s serious expression, Qin Muxuan was shocked. Only those who liked each other can truly forgive each other. So can she and Gu Zijin forgive each other?
Qin Muxuan smiled at Xiaoxin and didn’t continue the topic. She felt that she needed time to open her mind.
When she helped Xiaoxin put on her clothes, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but ask, “Xiaoxin, do you want to live here forever? With Brother Xiaobai and Papa.”
Xiaoxin did not hesitate. “Yes, and with mommy too!”
Qin Muxuan nodded. “Okay.”
When Qin Muxuan came out with Xiaoxin, Gu Zijin was still in Xiaobai’s room. Because of what just happened in the bathroom, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but look at him deeply.
Gu Zijin went forward and picked Xiaoxin up. He looked so happy while trying to make Xiaoxin laugh.
Sensing Qin Muxuan’s gaze, Gu Zijin looked at her with doubt, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Muxuan shook her head. “Nothing.”
She turned to Xiaobai and said, “Do you need me to help you take a shower?”
Xiaobai shook his head. “No, I’m not a kid anymore. I will do it myself.”
Hearing Xiaobai’s rejection, Qin Muxuan felt a little sad. She had missed so much during Xiaobai’s growth. Although she knew that Xiaobai had always been an independent child ever since he was young, she wanted to be closer to Xiaobai now.
Qin Xiaobai didn’t think that way. He just felt that he was a big boy now and it would be embarrassing for his mother to help him take a shower, not to mention that his mom was also a girl!
Obviously, Qin Muxuan never thought on this aspect, she felt that Xiaobai was a lot more distant from her. He used to follow her wherever she went.
Seeing that Qin Muxuan looked a bit sad when Xiaobai enter the bathroom himself, Gu Zijin said, “Xiaobai has grown up, and he is a boy and you are a girl.”I
It took Qin Muxuan a while to understand what Gu Zijin said, and she felt a little comforted, but still a little melancholic, “But I’m his mother.”
Gu Zijin thought for a moment, “Then spend more time with him. Muxuan, stay here with us, okay?”
Qin Muxuan looked up at Gu Zijin. She seemed to see gentleness in his eyes and a trace of unease.
Qin Muxuan didn’t answer. She thought that she couldn’t make any promises right now.
Without hearing a response from Qin Muxuan, a trace of disappointment flashed across Gu Zijin’s face, but he did not push Qin Muxuan. He only pretended that it was fine and started to coax Xiaoxin to sleep.
Qin Muxuan felt relieved.
A bunk bed had been placed in Xiaobai’s room, because the designer thought that a bed like that was more suitable for kids when he renovated it. Perhaps Gu Zijin thought that he and Qin Muxuan would have another child in time.
By the time Xiaobai came out of the bathroom, Xiaoxin was already asleep. Xiaobai carefully climbed to the upper bunk. After saying good night to Qin Muxuan and Gu Zijin, he lay down and was ready to sleep.
Qin Muxuan turned off the lights and only left one night light on. Then she walked out the room with Gu Zijin as quietly as possible and closed the door.
