Chapter 409: This is Qin Xuan, My Official Wife
Of course, the lady at the reception knew who Qin Muxuan was. In fact, every time she heard about the scandal between Qin Muxuan and Gu Zijin, she would grit her teeth with hatred.
What was so good about this woman called Qin Xuan? When it came to appearance, she wasn’t any worse than her. Qin Xuan was just a minor celebrity. Who knew how many men she had slept with to get where she was now?
If it were several years ago, Qin Muxuan might have been bluffed and she would wait there obediently. However, after all that she had gone through, Qin Muxuan knew it was a trick when she saw it.
She looked around and saw a round sofa on her left. It was prepared for visitors.
She touched Xiaoxin’s head. “Be good. Go sit on that sofa and wait there for Mommy.”
Xiaoxin nodded at her innocently and ran towards the sofa.
Seeing Xiaoxin sit on the sofa, Qin Muxuan took out her phone and called Gu Zijin in front of that lady at the reception.
“Muxuan, what’s wrong?” Gu Zijin raised his hand to stop his assistant from reporting the work and he couldn’t help but smile.
The assistant was surprised. He never expected that one day he would see the CEO being so gentle.
“You’re here? Downstairs?” Gu Zijin quickly stood up and strode out.
“I’ll pick you up. Wait for me.”
Qin Muxuan put her phone away and didn’t look at the lady at the reception again. She walked elegantly towards Xiaoxin in her high heels.
The moment Qin Muxuan called, the receptionist’s face turned pale.
She thought that people like Qin Muxuan, who had become famous overnight, wouldn’t be able to hold back and would make a big fuss when they were wronged.
And when President Gu heard the news and came down here, he would definitely dislike Qin Muxuan when he saw her acting crazily.
Then the receptionist might be able to take the opportunity to pretend to be wronged and draw the attention of President Gu.
She didn’t expect Qin Muxuan to be so calm.
The receptionist watched as Qin Muxuan walked to the sofa and sat down in a leisurely manner. She wasn’t affected at all. The receptionist felt that she had reached the breaking point.
“Qin Xuan!” She shouted, causing the hall bustling with people to instantly fall silent. Everyone stopped and looked at her.
“You called the President? What’s so great about that? Why are you so arrogant?!” The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She didn’t know why but she started to cry. “Who knows how many men you’ve slept with? So just stop pretending to be noble!”
Qin Muxuan stared at her expressionlessly. The hall was silent for a moment; then it was noisy again.
Everyone was whispering about it.
The receptionist faced the elevator with her back, and she was so emotional that she didn’t notice that the door of the elevator behind her had already opened.
Gu Zijin was standing behind her, and he had heard what she just said clearly.
People who saw Gu Zijin were exchanging glances and guessing what he would do. Would he reprimand the receptionist or tacitly agree with her? Undoubtedly, it would determine what kind of attitude they would treat Qin Muxuan with in the future.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Qin Muxuan also saw Gu Zijin. She still sat there lazily, holding Xiaoxin’s delicate palm with one hand and greeted, “You’re here.”
“Yes,” Gu Zijin replied in a low voice.
Only then did the receptionist realize that Gu Zijin had come down and she suddenly turned around.
Then, she watched Gu Zijin walk towards her step by step. His footsteps were steady, and every step seemed to be stomping on the receptionist’s heart.
He was expressionless, so the receptionist couldn’t figure out whether he was happy or mad. He was like the almighty God, who could dominate how the receptionist felt.
Seeing that Gu Zijin was about to walk up to her, the receptionist pretended to smile happily. “President Gu…”
She looked as if she were bewitched and she couldn’t wait to reveal her feelings to Gu Zijin.
Gu Zijin walked past her and straight to the two people on the sofa as if he didn’t see her excited gaze.
The bright light in the receptionist’s eyes disappeared. “President Gu…”
Gu Zijin finally stood in front of Qin Muxuan. Qin Muxuan looked up at him. He smiled gently and then leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss before reaching out to pull her up.
“Next time you’re here, come straight to my office. It’s my fault that I forgot to tell them. Don’t be angry, alright?”
His voice was so gentle that he didn’t sound like the overbearing and indifferent president he usually was at all. Instead, he sounded flattering and cautious.
Qin Muxuan was a little speechless. She didn’t take it to heart. She was just a little upset. Now that Gu Zijin looked so meek and subservient in front of everyone, what else could she say?
With all those outsiders watching them, she needed to give face to her man.
Qin Muxuan smiled helplessly and allowed herself to be pulled up by Gu Zijin. “What are you talking about? I’m not angry at all.”
The interaction between them was too sweet for everyone’s taste. Even the blind could tell that the usually indifferent Gu Zijin was seriously in love.
The receptionist was not too far away, and the color of her face was drained. Her eyes widened in disbelief and her lips trembled slightly.
Seeing Gu Zijin carrying Xiaoxin with one hand and holding Qin Muxuan’s hand with his other hand, she finally couldn’t suppress the indignation in her heart, “President Gu, what’s so good about this woman?! She isn’t worthy of you! She is not chaste!”
Gu Zijin finally gave her a look, but he was as cold as ice, “You’re dismissed from the Gu Group. You’re in no position to talk about my wife like that.”
After saying that, he glanced at the crowd who were in the hall and hugged Qin Muxuan with his hand. “Look closely and remember this face. This is Qin Xuan, my official wife. From now on, in the Gu Group, her words will have the same effect as mine.”
The hall was so quiet that people would hear it if a needle fell to the ground. Everyone took a deep breath.
Just like that, he told the world about their relationship. The people who looked down on Qin Muxuan from the bottom of their hearts couldn’t help but changed their mind in shock. The woman who managed to win Gu Zijin’s heart was definitely not an ordinary one.
Qin Muxuan quietly nestled in Gu Zijin’s arms, her eyes red.
She didn’t expect Gu Zijin to do that.
Even though Gu Zijin had proposed to her and she had said yes, she still didn’t feel that it was real.
Her past experience left her a strong sense of insecurity.
For the past few years, she had had no one to rely on except herself. And she had to support Xiaoxin all by herself.
She thought that she would live the rest of her life like that, and she never thought that Gu Zijin would take her under his wings when she least expected it.
All these years, she had been bombarded with all kinds of dirty words. She never took them to heart. But Gu Zijin did and he stood up to defend her.
If she said that she wasn’t touched, then she’d be lying.
Even when they were in the elevator, Qin Muxuan was still lost in thought. Gu Zijin looked at her red eyes and didn’t know what to do.
He thought Qin Muxuan was still angry, so he hurriedly held her shoulders.
“Xiao Xuan, I’m sorry. Don’t be angry. It’s my fault. Don’t cry, don’t cry.”
The more he said, the more uncontrollable Qin Muxuan’s emotions became. She even felt a little wronged and tears fell from her face.
