Chapter 385: Coaxing a CEO
Seeing that Qin Muxuan didn’t say anything for a long time, Gu Zijin was a little impatient and nervous, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Qin Muxuan lowered her eyes. “I don’t know what to say.” She was made speechless by Gu Zijin and didn’t know what to say.
However, Gu Zijin clearly misunderstood what Qin Muxuan meant by that. As if a certain switch on his body had been turned on, he suddenly swung Qin Muxuan’s hand away. With a cold snort, he turned around and sat on the bed with his back facing her.
Qin Muxuan looked at Gu Zijin’s back blankly. She felt that Gu Zijin was like a sulking kid. A three-year-old boy. Right, that was what he was now!
Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but want to laugh, but seeing that it was not something that was considered suitable in the current situation, she held it back.
Qin Muxuan coughed dryly twice, with the intention of attracting Gu Zijin’s attention, but he just sat there motionlessly without even looking towards her direction.
Qin Muxuan was speechless. She felt that Gu Zijin’s persona as a domineering CEO had completely fallen apart. She thought about how she had coaxed Xiaobai.
Qin Muxuan sat next to Gu Zijin and Gu Zijin moved away from her quickly.
Qin Muxuan had no option but to inch closer to him while he moved away from her again.
And just like that it went on. Even the most thick-skinned person would be a little angry by now, not to mention that Qin Muxuan was thin-skinned.
Qin Muxuan stood up and glared at Gu Zijin, “Gu Zijin, stop acting like a child, will you?!”
Gu Zijin snorted coldly and didn’t say anything. He also felt that he was behaving in a very childish way, but in his heart, there seemed to be a fire burning. And he could only vent his anger by doing these childish behaviors.
Seeing that Gu Zijin was being indifferent towards her, Qin Muxuan felt a little disappointed. It turned out that the gentleness and care he’d been showing to her for the past few days were all illusions. Gu Zijin was still the unbearably arrogant heir to the Gu Family’s business empire, the CEO of the Gu Group, the man who only looked at what he wanted to see and listened to what he wanted to hear, and the person who seemed to be a thousand miles away from her even though they were just one step apart.
Qin Muxuan didn’t want to cry, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She felt that she asked for this. She didn’t know why she was still standing here and wasting her time trying to talk with him.
Gu Zijin sensed something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw that Qin Muxuan was teary-eyed. He instantly panicked. He couldn’t take it whenever he saw her cry.
Gu Zijin stood up and carefully reached out to touch Qin Muxuan’s face, but Qin Muxuan turned her face away.
Stubbornly, Gu Zijin turned Qin Muxuan’s face towards him, but when he touched her cheek, his fingers were unusually gentle. Bit by bit, he carefully wiped Qin Muxuan’s tears away.
Qin Muxuan stared at the man in front of her who looked both stubborn and serious, and who was treating her as if she were a treasure, and her breath froze for a moment. The tears that had been streaming down her face also stopped.
Gu Zijin sounded somewhat helpless, “Why did you cry?”
Qin Muxuan felt a belated sense of embarrassment. She must have looked extremely ugly just now when she cried.
Qin Muxuan blushed slightly. “Because you were acting like a child. I tried to coax you but you wouldn’t listen.”
Gu Zijin smiled slightly, and he felt much better after hearing what Qin Muxuan said.
“How did you plan to do that?”
Qin Muxuan was stunned. He missed the point of all that she just said. “Shouldn’t you be reflecting on your childish behavior?”
Qin Muxuan felt that she must have become bolder over the past few years. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the nerve to question Gu Zijin again and again.
But Gu Zijin didn’t seem to notice it. He said naturally, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have ignored you like that just now.”
Qin Muxuan was completely confused. When did Gu Zijin become so easy-going?
Seeing that Qin Muxuan remained silence, Gu Zijin frowned slightly and asked again. “So, how did you plan to coax me?”
Qin Muxuan hadn’t completely recovered from her shock and she said vaguely, “Well, you know, what else can I do? I’ll just coax you like you’re a kid?”
Obviously unsatisfied with Qin Muxuan’s answer, Gu Zijin stepped forward to hold the back of Qin Muxuan’s head.
The two of them were close to each other. And they looked into each other’s eyes. Qin Muxuan saw Gu Zijin’s lips opening and closing, “I’ll teach you the right way of coaxing me.” As he said that, he leaned forward and kissed her.
Qin Muxuan was caught off guard. She was being taken advantage of again!
The sudden kiss was unexpected, just like a violent storm. Qin Muxuan felt that this kiss came even more passionately than before, which made Gu Zijin lose his usual calmness.
With their tongues touching and exploring each other, Qin Muxuan’s head gradually went blank. She could do nothing but obediently close her eyes, and very naturally she wrapped her arms around his thin waist.
And of course, Gu Zijin felt what Qin Muxuan just did. His back trembled, and his kiss became even more passionate.
It wasn’t until her back touched the soft bed that Qin Muxuan suddenly regained her senses. She turned her head and Gu Zijin’s lips brushed past her cheek.
Gu Zijin was very dissatisfied with Qin Muxuan’s sudden interruption, so he reached out to turn her face back towards him.
Qin Muxuan pressed her hands against Gu Zijin’s chest, “Jian Xi is still waiting for me.”
Gu Zijin calmed down a little. His face was still cold. And only his eyes were red and wet.
Fine, he finally remembered that Qin Muxuan had a guest waiting for her and that she wouldn’t be sleeping with him today! At that thought, Gu Zijin felt even worse.
Qin Muxuan tried to get up by pushing Gu Zijin away, but it was an ineffective attempt, as it only made Gu Zijin start to feel lonely and want more.
Qin Muxuan failed to push him away. Instead, she felt a change in his body which she couldn’t neglect. And his voice, which sounded more magnetic than usual, was heard. “Don’t move.”
Qin Muxuan froze in an instant. Gu Zijin buried his face into Qin Muxuan’s neck and pecked from time to time. Qin Muxuan didn’t dare to move.
Fortunately, Gu Zijin didn’t go on and he got up after a few minutes.
Qin Muxuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up to smooth the wrinkles on her clothes.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Afraid that he might change his mind, Qin Muxuan rushed into the closet and said, “I’ll go get the clothes.”
In the closet, Qin Muxuan tried to calm her heart which was beating violently. Why was it that Gu Zijin was turned on so easily today? Was it because of the warm temperature?
Qin Muxuan felt the cold air in the room and silently denied this assumption. Then she thought that perhaps the heat in the summer could provoke strong arousal.
Qin Muxuan dawdled in the closet for a while. She leaned on the door and listened for a while, and she didn’t hear anything outside. She thought that Gu Zijin had gone to take a shower, so she quickly came out.
The moment she came out, she saw Gu Zijin sitting on the sofa holding a iPad. Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment; then she smiled awkwardly, “You didn’t go and take a shower?”
Gu Zijin’s hands kept moving, “I have some work to deal with.”
Qin Muxuan didn’t want to continue their conversation. “Go on then. I’ll leave you.” As she said that, she turned and was ready to leave the room.
Gu Zijin finally raised his head and raised an eyebrow. “You aren’t gonna take a shower here?”
Qin Muxuan sensed that Gu Zijin sounded unfriendly, but she still nodded, “I’ll go see Jian Xi. I’ll take a shower in the guest room. She is waiting for me.”
Gu Zijin looked at Qin Muxuan who had no idea what he was thinking and then lowered his eyelids. “Whatever.”
Qin Muxuan swallowed her saliva and said cautiously, “Well, whatever Jian Xi said, please don’t get angry. And please don’t go confront her. She is just worried about me. She doesn’t hold any grudges against you either. And she’s not ill-intentioned!”
Gu Zijin snorted coldly, “Am I a petty-minded man? I won’t ever go confront a woman.”
Qin Muxuan really wanted to nod and say: Yes, not only are you petty-minded, you’re also revengeful. Let alone women, whoever offends you, you will not let them get away with it even if they’re kids and elders!
However, her strong desire to survive made Qin Muxuan hold back the complaint and she just smiled flatteringly, “No, you are not that kind of person. I just feel that it is necessary for me to explain it to you.”
Gu Zijin didn’t take the bait and he sneered, “Qin Muxuan, I’m really curious about what it is that you tell your friends about me.”
Frightened, Qin Muxuan swallowed her saliva again. She smiled awkwardly, “What else can I say? I just speak the truth. Whatever you did to me, I just put it into words.”
Qin Muxuan said without thinking too much about it, but when Gu Zijin heard it, his heart seemed to twitch slightly.
Seeing that Gu Zijin wasn’t going to reply, Qin Muxuan thought that he was willing to let her go, so she said “Goodnight” to him and left the room.
