Chapter 40: Family Day
“Actually, I don’t mind if you have a kid.”
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan felt a bit awkward. She didn’t understand why Chu Feng was so persevering… Gu Zijin, with his lips compressed, frowned while snatching Qin Muxuan’s phone. Qin Muxuan who just came back to her sense said angrily,
“Gu Zijin, give my phone back!”
In the meantime, Gu Zijin put the phone by his ear and said,
“Her child is my child. What else do you want to say?”
Qin Muxuan felt sorry for Chu Feng secretly while wondering if Gu Zijin knew what he was doing now. She thought, ‘Are you trying to claim to Chu Feng that I am yours? How can you be so childish?! What if Chu Feng spreads the word about our relationship?’
After Qin Muxuan saw Gu Zijin hanging up the phone after uttering a few words, she covered her chest and asked cautiously,
“What did Chu Feng say?”
“Well, he sounded a bit desperate because he was choking with sobs and overly frightened.”‘
“…”
Only until the black Bentley parked at the door did Qin Xiaobai wake up. After he rubbed his eyes, he carried his backpack and opened the car door. There were already lots of cars parked outside due to the Family Day event. Even so, the Bentley still came into focus easily. Gu Zijin strode with his long legs. Qin Xiaobai yawned lazily and only wanted Qin Muxuan to hug him.
Before he could reach Qin Muxuan, he was grabbed by his back collar. With Qin Xiaobai’s legs both off the ground, he kicked the air while shouting inwardly, “Dad, this is so embarrassing!”
However, before he could speak out his feelings, Gu Zijing said gently,
“You are already five years old, you can not let your mother hold you in her arms all the time.”
Qin Xiaobai got sullen again. It was the first time he felt that his birth might be an accident and that his parents actually enjoyed their life without him.
The three of them were all very gorgeous and one of them had a very powerful background, so after they had entered the school, there were lots of people staring at them with admiration However, no one dared to talk to the three newcomers since everyone had heard that Lin Xiao’s parents had to transfer Lin Xiao to anther school because they had offended Gu Zijin.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
The parents of all the other students were in the middle class. Under no circumstances would they dare to provoke a legendary man like Gu Zijin.
As they arrived at Xiaobai’s classroom, they saw the teacher already organizing activities on the podium. There were two chairs placed beside each student’s seat. As Gu Zijin sat down on his seat, the atmosphere in the classroom was completely changed. The teacher couldn’t help but stammer while the other parents didn’t dare to chat cheerfully.
Qin Xiaobai pulled Gu Zijin’s clothes, saying,
“Daddy, can you smile a bit?”
“Huh?”
Although Gu Zijin didn’t understand that request, he still raised the corner of his mouth. The teacher already got sweats on her forehead since it was the first time she had felt so stressful. There was a living legend of the business circle sitting in the classroom. She felt that she might have a mental breakdown at any time as she thought of what would happen to her if she failed to organize the activities.
Qin Muxuan also noticed that. Then she really started to regret that she had agreed to let Gu Zijin come…
The activities had been divided into a few parts which were all parent-child, such as three-legged race or running race. This was the first time Qin Xiaobai attended activities with his father. He couldn’t help but show an excited look in his black eyes while saying in a low voice,
“This time I wouldn’t be the last one in the race.”
Qin Muxuan was speechless.
Gu Zijin got a bit curious and glanced at Qin Xiaobai, saying,
“You used to be in the last place all the time?”
“Yeah, Dabai runs really slowly. So I was always the last one.”
Qin Xiaobai pulled Gu Zijin’s clothes on tiptoe and then whispered,
“This is a private conversation between the two of us. Don’t tell Dabai, I don’t want her to get hurt.”
Qin Muxuan, mouth twitched, wondered if she should tell Qin Xiaobai that she had already heard all of his words. She never realized that she had been disdained by Qin Xiaobai all the time. That new discovery almost made her vomit blood.
The first activity was the three-legged race. Qin Xiaobai stood in the middle while Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan stood by both sides of him with each of their feet tied to Qin Xiaobai’s. The teacher stood by a red line and held the whistle in her hands, saying,
“The prize for the three-legged race is a box of milk. Start!”
As the whistle sounded, Qin Xiaobai walked ahead at full stretch. Gu Zijin walked at a steady pace beside him while Qin Muxuan got a bit hurry-scurry trying to catch up with them. As they were halfway to the destination, Qin Muxuan got a bit dizzy watching their steps. Then with her legs getting limp, she lost her balance and fell down right away. Qin Xiaobai shouted,
“Dabai!”
Gu Zijin reacted very fast and turned around right away. However, due to the strings that tied his feet, he fell on the ground too and became Qin Muxuan’s human pad. As she fell onto his body, she heard him groaning slightly. With Qin Muxuan’s face turning pale, she stood up right away and said,
“Are you all right?”
Gu Zijin climbed up and said briefly,
“Let’s go.”
Due to this incident, Qin Muxuan gathered all her energy because she wanted to finish the race as soon as possible. She assumed that Gu Zijin must have hurt his back after he had fallen onto the ground and she had fallen onto him. However, knowing that Gu Zijin was good at tolerating pains, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but get worried.
“One, two, one, two.”
The family ahead of them was going to reach the destination. However, they got a glimpse of Qin Xiaobai’s family catching up at a fast speed. Then they got nervous and even called their steps faster. The boy in the middle clenched his fists while saying,
“Dad, let’s get faster. They are going to overtake us.”
“No problem, my boy.”
The plump man then spared no efforts to walk, since he was determined to win the first place for his son. However, Gu Zijin wouldn’t be easily defeated. After Qin Muxuan regained her strength, the three of them walked at a very fast speed. Gu Zijin gave a smile and said,
“Get ready, we are going to run now.”
Qin Xiaobai’s heart beat very fast due to his excitement. Even hearing the words ‘going to run’ made him feel so excited!
“Three, two, one, run!”
After the family which had been ahead of them saw the Gu’s family running all of a sudden, they couldn’t help but open their mouths widely. After a long while, the little boy came back to earth and said,
“Daddy, can I say, damn it?”
The teacher also got quite jumpy. Seeing that Qin Xiaobai’s family already arrived at the destination, she blew the whistle and declared that Qin Xiaobai’s family got the first place. Then she announced the second place, then the third place.
After the string was untied, Qin Xiaobai hugged Gu Zijin immediately while shouting,
“Daddy, you are awesome!”
Qin Muxuan was still worried about the wound on Gu Zijin’s back. Then she said with her eyebrows knitted,
“Let’s go to the medical room.”
Gu Zijin shook his head, saying,
“I’m fine. Just a bit hurt. We can deal with it when we go back home.”
After Qin Muxuan confirmed that Gu Zijin was fine, she then believed his words reluctantly. A girl with a round face craned her neck to peer at them several times. However, as Qin Muxuan looked over, that girl pretended that she wasn’t looking right away.
