Chapter 376: Back to the Crew
The two of them were silent for a while. Just as Gu Zijin was about to lose, Qin Muxuan smiled bitterly, “Gu Zijin, I’m Qin Xuan now, not Qin Muxuan. If you want to make it public, what are you going to say about our relationship? Lovers, or just…?”
Qin Muxuan couldn’t say the word “friends”, although, based on the current situation, it seemed to be the most suitable word for their relationship.
Gu Zijin was shocked and he walked forward to held Qin Muxuan’s thin shoulders. “Muxuan, let’s get married.”
Qin Muxuan stared blankly at Gu Zijin while his mouth opened and closed as he said those words, and two words kept echoing in her ears: “get married”. And she was overwhelmed by shock.
It wasn’t like Qin Muxuan had never thought of getting married. Four years ago, when she confirmed her feelings towards Gu Zijin, she had thought about it and looked forward to it, but in the end, Gu Zijin married another woman.
In the past four years, she struggled, and in the end, she gave up completely. But now Gu Zijin took the initiative to propose to her. The flames of hope in her heart which were about to be extinguished were reignited by his words.
Despite the fact that her heart was beating so fast, Qin Muxuan calmed herself down and regained her senses.
Gu Zijin held Qin Muxuan’s shoulders and looked at her eagerly. He felt that he might have gone crazy, as he intended to make her stay by his side forever with his proposal of marriage.
Gu Zijin looked at Qin Muxuan who shook her head, and his eyes turned cold. “Why is that?”
Qin Muxuan finally looked up at Gu Zijin, “Will your family agree?”
Gu Zijin was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that what Qin Muxuan worried about would be this.
Gu Zijin felt that all the pores on his body were relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.
Qin Muxuan looked at Gu Zijing’s smiling face and was speechless. She patted his arm reproachfully, “What are you laughing at?” Qin Muxuan deeply suspected that something must have gone wrong with Gu Zijing’s brain. He proposed to her, and then he went crazy after he got rejected.
Gu Zijin took Qin Muxuan into his arms: “Don’t worry. I’ll deal with my family. You just tell me if you are willing or not?”
Qin Muxuan didn’t look up. She was held in Gu Zijin’s arms, and one of her ear rested upon his chest. She could hear his heartbeat, which seemed to be faster than usual.
Qin Muxuan felt inexplicably happy and her words were sweet, “I’ll sleep on it.”
Gu Zijin could feel the happiness in Qin Muxuan’s tone, and he also smiled and said with a good temper, “Okay.”
After they held each other like that silently for a while, Qin Muxuan started to feel a little uncomfortable. She also felt her face had become totally red.
Qin Muxuan quickly pulled herself out of Gu Ziang’s arms, slid beneath the quilt like a loach and murmured: “Alright, time to sleep, I have to work tomorrow.”
Gu Ziang smiled, turned off the lights and climbed beneath the quilt.
Seeing Qin Muxuan lying there with her back towards him, Gu Zijin took her into his arms as usual, and his movements looked so natural.
Qin Muxuan felt a bit embarrassed and she struggled to pull herself out. However, Gu Zijin’s arms were tight and Qin Muxuan couldn’t move at all.
Qin Muxuan heard Gu Zijin’s voice above her head: “Don’t move.”
Qin Muxuan froze in an instant because his voice was filled with a familiar emotion: the sexiness when he was turned on.
After a moment, Qin Muxuan slowly relaxed her body. She couldn’t break free anyway, so she decided to accept the reality.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Muxuan, do you like being an actress?” Gu Zijin suddenly asked.
Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment and said truthfully, “Well, the truth is, I entered the entertainment industry just to get close to Xiaobai. I don’t like being an actress very much, but I don’t hate it either.”
Gu Zijin nodded slightly and gently patted Qin Muxuan’s back: “Sleep then.”
The next day, Qin Muxuan was woken up by an alarm. When she woke up, she was alone in the room. When she went downstairs, only Xiaoxin and Xiaobai were having breakfast. Gu Zijin had gone to work already.
When Qin Muxuan was about to finish her breakfast, Jian Xi came to the villa to pick her up on time.
Seeing how curious Jian Xi looked, Qin Muxuan could not help but laugh and she started to tease her, “Stop looking around already. Next time I’ll show you around. We should get moving, or we’ll be late.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t want to be late the first day she went back to work. If she was late, someone might use it against her and accused her of acting like a diva.
Jian Xi teased her, “Your other half is not here?”
Qin Muxuan patted Jian Xi reproachfully. “What other half? Stop talking nonsense!”
Jian Xi stopped teasing her and got into the car and sat on the driver’s seat.
Qin Muxuan entrusted Xiaoxin to the Auntie. Seeing that Xiaobai was still sitting there, she thought it strange and asked, “Xiaobai, isn’t Yiyi here yet?”
Xiaobai looked quite calm, “She should be here any moment. Da Bai, you should leave first.”
Qin Muxuan nodded and got into the car without thinking too much about it.
Xiaobai watched the car leaving, his eyes flashing with a hint of cunningness.
When they were waiting for the traffic lights, Qin Muxuan finally couldn’t help but gossip. She excitedly patted Jian Xi’s arm, “Quick now, tell me what’s going on with you and Mu Ming. I was so curious that I didn’t even sleep last night!”
Jian Xi saw that Qin Muxuan looked quite energetic and happy. She rolled her eyes and said, “You don’t look like someone who didn’t sleep for a night.”
Qin Muxuan wouldn’t let her go so easily. She pretended to strangle Jian Xi by put her hands on Jian Xi’s neck and fiercely said, “Quickly, tell me honestly, what happened between you and Mu Ming?! Think carefully before you answer me, as your life is in my hands!”
However, Jian Xi acted like she hadn’t noticed what Qin Muxuan was jokingly doing. She was still trying to change the subject, “Nothing. It’s just, that night…”
Jian Xi’s words turned into a vague murmur. Qin Muxuan couldn’t hear it at all, “What?”
At that moment, the green light lit up and Jian Xi patted off Qin Muxuan’s hands that were still around her neck. “The green light is on. Stop it now!”
When she saw that Jian Xi didn’t look sideways, and that her mouth was shut tightly, as if all her attention was paid to driving and nothing else, Qin Muxuan was very speechless and she thought to herself that she must find a chance to make Jian Xi talk about it today.
As soon as Qin Muxuan returned to the set, she felt that everyone was staring at her, both inquiring and envious. Qin Muxuan pretended not to notice it, and she greeted everyone with a smile.
The director was discussing something with an assistant director, but when he saw Qin Muxuan come back, he quickly went up to greet her, “Muxuan, you are back?”
Qin Muxuan smiled and said, “Yes, Director, I’m sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused you.”
The director hurriedly waved his hand. “It’s nothing. Don’t mention it. Are you feeling better now?”
Qin Muxuan nodded, her face full of guilt, “Yes. I’m sorry that the shooting was delayed because of me.”
“It’s fine. We’ve made an agreement with President Gu. The cost of the scenes while you were absent will be covered by them,” the director said considerately.
Qin Muxuan was a little surprised, as Gu Zijin never mentioned that. No wonder the director let her and Xiaobai have their time off work so easily.
Qin Muxuan was afraid that the director would gossip about her and Gu Zijin again, so she didn’t say anything else. She just thanked him and went to the dressing room to get prepared.
