Chapter 70: No Pet Dog
Yin Youting saw the new post on Qin Muxuan’s Weibo. As he noticed the location, he suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes. When Qin Muxuan was a young girl, her pretty face as well as her powerful family background had made her a dreamlover of lots of men. When he and Qin Muxuan fell in love with each other, he sent her lots of love letters straightly or secretly. It never occurred to him that he would lose her because he was not powerful enough five years ago.
What was more, even if he went back home and took over his family business now, he was still not able to defeat Gu Zijin in the business circle, considering Gu Zijin’s influence.
Thinking of that, Yin Youting showed a sullen look on his face. The nurse beside him noticed that and then said to him concernedly,
“Doctor Yin, what’s wrong with you? You don’t look well. Is it because you didn’t have a good rest after you had done the surgery for the patient?”
Yin Youting came back to his sense with the look on his face changing back to normal and said,
“Yeah, I think you are right.”
“That’s too bad. By the way, there was an anonymous call for you just now. The one who called you refused to expose her identity. Do you want to dial back?”
“An anonymous call?”
Yin Youting muttered that with a slight frown. Then he walked outside right away. The nurse looked at his back with admiration in her eyes while wondering what kind of woman would marry Doctor Yin. When Yin Youting started working in the hospital, lots of women adored him because of his handsome appearance as well as his powerful family background. However, over the past few years, he had never responded to any woman’s love confession.
On the seventeenth floor in an apartment.
Yan Yuxiao who had just finished showering walked out from the bathroom with a bath towel covering her body. Hearing her phone ringing, she gave a charming smile and walked to the French windows. Then she answered the call and said in a soft voice,
“Is this Doctor Yin?”
…
After the weekend, Qin Muxuan asked Uncle Chen to send her to her firm early because she still hadn’t finished the drawings which her clients asked for. When Gu Zijin was about to go to work, he learned that Qin Muxuan had left long ago. He compressed his lips and said nothing. Then he also drove the car and left for work.
As Qin Muxuan arrived at her firm and bid farewell to Uncle Chen, she got a phone call from Yin Youting,
“Hello.”
“Xuan, last time you agreed to meet me, remember? Can you bring your kid with you? I haven’t seen him before.”
Hearing his voice through the line, Qin Muxuan remembered that Uncle Chen told her that Yin Youting had come to that western restaurant nearly every weekend over the past five years. She knew that Yin Youting didn’t like to eat sweet food, so he had only adjusted himself to her taste when they went to that restaurant. As she thought of that, her eyes were filled with ears. Then she agreed without thinking too much. ‘Considering this as the last time we meet.’ She thought.
Xiaobai was at the movie company. The staff there already started to make preparations for his shooting for the magazine cover and his personal album. Qin Muxuan called Xiaobai’s manager to check Xiaobai’s schedule and then decided to bring Xiaobai out at lunch time.
Qin Feng had been on a business trip for seven days. When it was about noon, Qin Muxuan called him to notify him of her leaving. Then she took a taxi to the restaurant.
Yin Youting had already ordered a few appetizers while waiting for Qin Muxuan and Qin Xiaobai. In the meantime, Qin Xiaobai raised his head confusedly and asked,
“Dabai, are we meeting daddy later?”
“No, you’ll meet an uncle.”
“An uncle?”
Qin Xiaobai thought quickly, ‘I’ve never heard Dabai tell me about any uncle. Has Dabai fallen in love with another man and decided to abandon daddy?’ He was reluctant to accept that. Although he didn’t like it when his father always took up so much of Dabai’s time, he had already firmly believed that no one could replace Gu Zijin’s position as his father.
As Yin Youting saw Qin Muxuan and Qin Xiaobai, he waved his hand to them at once with his eyes fixed on Qin Xiaobai for three seconds. When Qin Muxuan told him that she already had a child, he didn’t fully trust her words. Now that he had seen Qin Xiaobai’s face, he only felt even sadder because the boy looked like Gu Zijin so much. Then Yin Youting compressed his lips while thinking, ‘If the Qin family didn’t run into that incident five years ago, Xuan and I would get married after graduating from college. Will our kid look like me?’
“Uncle, I’m a bit thirsty. I want to have some watermelon juice.”
Qin Xiaobai said that with an innocent look. Then Yin Youting called over the waiter to order. Qin Xiaobai seized this chance and sent a message to his father quickly. After doing that, he let out a sigh of relief. Qin Muxuan didn’t notice his quick movement and focused on the menu the whole time.
During lunch, Yin Youting never brought up the idea of being together with Qin Muxuan again. They both tried to avoid talking about what happened five years ago with tacit understanding. At last, Yin Youting still found it difficult to part with Qin Muxuan forever. So he took Qin Muxuan’s hand and sobbed,
“Xuan, are we really unable to go back?”
Qin Muxuan withdrew her hand and nodded in silence. Then she said sorry to him and left with Qin Xiaobai.
The moment Qin Muxuan walked out of the restaurant, she saw a black Bentley parking outside the door. With a shocked look in her eyes, she saw Gu Zijin rolling down the car window and staring at her with his black eyes.
“Get in the car.” He said.
Those words sounded menacing. Qin Xiaobai suddenly had no idea if he had made a mistake by asking his daddy to come because the look on his daddy’s face was truly scary…
Yin Youting was still sitting there. Then, a pretty figure walked out from the darkness. Yan Yuxiao looked to Yin Youting with the corner of her red lips raised and said,
“Mr. Yin, it’s so nice to work with you.”
“I only did this for Xuan.”
Yin Youting didn’t shake hands with Yan Yuxiao and even kept a distance from her on purpose. Yan Yuxiao didn’t mind that and said smilingly,
“Don’t worry, Mr. Yin. After the photos of you two hit the headlines, the people of the Gu family would definitely let Miss Qin leave, because they can not tolerate Miss Qin hanging out with another man. By then, the only thing you need to do is showing up and taking her away with you. She has been bullied in the Gu family the whole time. You are helping her get rid of that troublesome life.”
…
On the way back, Gu Zijin compressed his lips with an indifferent look on his face as if no one was allowed to come near him. Qin Muxuan didn’t know what to say but was pretty sure that he must have misunderstood her. After all, she had taken Xiaobai to see Yin Youting this time. However, she didn’t know how to explain, afraid that she would only make things more complicated.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Right at this moment, her phone in the pocket rang. Qin Muxuan took out her phone and saw Qin Feng’s name on the screen. Then she answered right away,
“Hello.”
“They told me that you haven’t gone back to the firm. Is there something wrong?”
Hearing his concerned voice, Qin Muxuan took a glance at Gu Zijin and then said,
“I have to take a day off today. Something happened to my family. Eh, my dog got sick.”
Qin Xiaobai didn’t remember they had a dog at home, so he said confusedly,
“Dabai, we don’t have a pet at home. You are lying now.”
Qin Muxuan had already hung up the phone. Hearing Qin Xiaobai’s words, she couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. In no way could she tell Qin Feng that she had brought her kid to meet her ex and was taken back home by the angry man Gu Zijin right now.
