Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 107
Chapter 107 I’m Yours and No One Can Steal Me from You
Du Xiaoxian brought Xia Xiaowan here with her after she came back from the restroom. When Zhou Ting saw this, she was so shocked that her eyes rounded. However, she was a worldly-wise person. She immediately smiled and walked up to greet Xia Xiaowan, “Miss Xia, what brings you here?” She was still a little confused. Did Gu Nianbin call Xia Xiaowan here? Or did Du Xiaoxian meet Xia Xiaowan outside and then bring her over? She was really confused about the love relationship among the three people. Obviously, Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian were together, but Xia Xiaowan had stepped in from time to time. However, Gu Nianbin did not express his stance, so she was not sure.
“I bumped into Xiaoxian outside, so I wanted to come and take a look.” Xia Xiaowan said as she walked straight to the mahjong room.
Du Xiaoxian foolishly followed behind and wanted to go in together with her. Zhou Ting grabbed her and whispered, “Why did you bring her here?”
Du Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment and whispered as well, “She wanted to come. I had no reason to stop her. Moreover,” she looked quite helpless, “she is Young Master’s girlfriend!”
Zhou Ting said, “If she is boss’s girlfriend, then what are you?”
Yeah, what was she? Du Xiaoxian suddenly felt as if her heart had been stabbed. It was a pricking sensation. She raised her head and saw that Xia Xiaowan had already walked to the mahjong room’s door.
Zhou Ting said anxiously, “I don’t think boss will lie to you. Perhaps they’ve broken up long ago.”
“Then… I…” Du Xiaoxian did not understand why Zhou Ting was so anxious.
“Boss is yours. You should defend your own rights and not let others steal him away, understand?” Zhou Ting risked her life to give Du Xiaoxian another idea, “Follow her in. If she dares to hook up with boss, you should teach her a lesson!”
“Ah? She’s Young Master’s girlfriend. I, I’m not… She, I…” Du Xiaoxian was scared and couldn’t speak coherently.
Zhou Ting said, “Who knows if she is still his girlfriend or not? If she doesn’t take action, you don’t take action either. If she dares to do anything, you just lie on boss’s back and play the woman. Do you hear me?”
“Is that okay…” Du Xiaoxian began to hesitate in her heart again.
Zhou Ting encouraged her, “That’ll be okay. Listen to me. It’s all right. Now, hurry up and go. Don’t worry, I’m here.” If in the past, she wouldn’t dare to do something like this. But after such a long time, and she had watched Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian get along with each other day by day, they were sweet and happy, so she wanted them to be happy. And so, she didn’t want Xia Xiaowan to bother Du Xiaoxian like this. Even if Gu Nianbin were to scold her because of this, she would do it anyway.
At this time, Xia Xiaowan had already pushed open the mahjong room’s door. She greeted the people inside smilingly, “Nianbin, Boss Shao, you’re also here.”
Shao Boqing greeted her warmly, “Oh, Miss Xia, what a rare guest. Take a seat. Do you want to play for a round?”
“No need, I’ll leave in a minute.”
“Why are you here?” Gu Nianbin glanced at her calmly.
Xia Xiaowan walked to Gu Nianbin’s back and bent down to look at his mahjong tiles. “I ran into Xiaoxian and she told me that you were here, so I came to take a look. How is your luck?”
“Not very good.” As soon as Gu Nianbin finished speaking, he took out a mahjong tile and slapped it on the table. “I’ve won!”
Shao Boqing smiled and said, “Ah, Miss Xia, you really are a lucky fairy for Nianbin. The moment you came, he won. He hasn’t won for quite a while.”
“Really?!” Xia Xiaowan covered her mouth and laughed. In the meanwhile, she patted Gu Nianbin on the shoulder casually and said, “Did you hear that? I’m your lucky fairy!”
Gu Nianbin won the money and handed it to her. “Do you want to take one?”
Xia Xiaowan knew that he was asking if she wanted some commission money, so she smiled and took out a one-hundred-yuan note from the money. She patted Gu Nianbin on the shoulder again and said playfully, “Thank you, boss.”
Shao Boqing suddenly looked at her, glanced at Gu Nianbin, and then looked at Du Xiaoxian who was standing opposite him. He smiled meaningfully, but did not say anything.
Shen Li also glanced at Xia Xiaowan, and then lowered his head to focus on his own mahjong tiles. The corners of his mouth curled into an unfathomable smile.
Du Xiaoxian stood opposite Gu Nianbin and saw everything that had just happened clearly. The strange feeling in her heart became even more intense. Her breathing even became louder and her small chest rose and fell violently! But… could that be considered as Xia Xiaowan had taken action? She turned to look at Zhou Ting.
Zhou Ting gave her a very certain expression. What else would that be if it was not provocation? Did Xia Xiaowan really think that Du Xiaoxian was transparent? Zhou Ting wanted the little girl to make a scene, and she wanted to see how President Gu would react.
Du Xiaoxian did not dare to act intimately with Gu Nianbin in public. However, she felt very uncomfortable because of that strange feeling in her heart. She gritted her teeth and walked over with her scalp toughened. She did whatever Zhou Ting taught her. She leaned to lay on Gu Nianbin’s back without saying anything. Her face was buried down. She could not do it if she was asked to play the woman in public, but she could still do something like this.
Originally, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat subtle. After Du Xiaoxian did so, the expressions on the faces of those spectators became even richer.
Shao Boqing was surprised. The timid Du Xiaoxian dared to do this in front of Xia Xiaowan. She really needed courage to make it. He glanced at Zhou Ting. Needless to say, this was definitely Secretary Zhou’s bad idea. Bad idea? He secretly laughed. Perhaps it was a good idea.
Shen Li was observing Xia Xiaowan. Although she concealed her expression well, he still caught the emotions flashing in Xia Xiaowan’s eyes.
Ling Yun did not know Xia Xiaowan, but he could also feel that the relationship between the woman and Gu Nianbin was ambiguous. He did not mind anything and was simply watching the fun.
The two beauties were also both sophisticated and nothing to worry about. They knew it was best to remain silent at this moment.
Zhou Ting stood there and silently praised Du Xiaoxian. The girl finally took action. Good job! Next, it would depend on President Gu’s reaction. This was the crux of the problem!
Gu Nianbin was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn’t believe it. He wrapped his hand around Du Xiaoxian’s back and said in a gentle and spoiled tone, “What’s wrong? Do you want to sleep?”
At this time, Du Xiaoxian’s courage had already disappeared. She did not dare to look up at Xia Xiaowan, or even at anyone else. So she just lay there and didn’t move.
Gu Nianbin turned around and wanted to bring the little girl to his front, but Du Xiaoxian tightly held his waist and did not let go.
The room was extremely quiet. They could only hear Gu Nianbin’s gentle voice of coaxing Du Xiaoxian, “What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Or do you want to go home? Tell me, eh?”
Du Xiaoxian made up her mind to remain silent until the end. She bravely took the first step, but she never thought about how to end it?
Gu Nianbin had always been very patient with Du Xiaoxian. He exerted a little strength to take the little girl in his arms. Knowing that Du Xiaoxian did not want to see anyone, he let her hide under his coat. He then lowered his head and asked her in whisper, “Do you want to go back?”
Du Xiaoxian finally nodded. She must go back now. She was too shameful to see anyone!
President Gu then said to everyone who was watching the play quietly, “Sorry, we’ll go back first.”
The others in the entire room were all silent. But Ling Yun shouted at Gu Nianbin, “It’s still so early. You’re going back now? Don’t tell me you want to do something else.” His ambiguous and meaningful tone made everyone in the room begin to laugh. The atmosphere instantly became normal.
Only Xia Xiaowan did not smile. Her expression was somewhat blank, and she did not look at Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian. She just stood there in a daze.
Gu Nianbin picked up Du Xiaoxian and wrapped her in his coat. He held her like he was holding a kid and then said to Shao Boqing, “Remember to send Zhou Ting back.”
“Don’t worry,” Shao Boqing teased him, “President Gu, take it easy!”
Gu Nianbin did not stare at him, only smiled and carried Du Xiaoxian away.
After he left, Shao Boqing said to Xia Xiaowan, “Miss Xia, we’re now missing one player, do you want to play?”
Xia Xiaowan was in a daze when she heard him. She was slightly stunned, then hurriedly waved her hand and smiled, saying, “No, my friends are still there. I’m taking my leave now.”
The smile on her face was still gentle and her expression was also normal, but her footsteps were a little messy. Looking at her back, Shen Li said, “I’ve seen her before.”
Shao Boqing said, “Oh? Where did you see her?”
“At Du Xiaoxian’s classmate’s birthday party. She was dressed in a black dress then and looked really beautiful.”
“Yoh, Young Master Shen, you’re very impressed with her. If you had told me earlier, I would have introduced her to you!”
“Next time,” Shen Li smiled and said, “if there’s still a chance.”
Ling Yun asked, “Gentlemen, don’t just chat. Do you want to play or not?”
“Of course yes,” Shao Boqing said, “you’re not allowed to leave without losing all your money today. I’ll call Nan Ze over.”
Gu Nianbin put Du Xiaoxian in the back seat of the car. He sat in the car himself as well, closed the door, and fixed the little girl’s hair. “Tell me, what’s wrong?”
Du Xiaoxian rubbed her nose and said softly, “I’m sorry.”
Gu Nianbin asked, “Why are you saying sorry? What did you do?”
“I shouldn’t have done that in front of Miss Xia…” Du Xiaoxian felt that she had made a mistake in confused state for a moment.
“You shouldn’t have down what in front of her?” Gu Nianbin forced her to answer. Du Xiaoxian’s actions tonight were beyond his expectations, but he understood the little girl’s thoughts. He only wondered why Du Xiaoxian had such courage. He had never explained his relationship with Xia Xiaowan clearly. He hoped that Du Xiaoxian would mind and bring it up with him. However, the little girl believed that Xia Xiaowan was his real girlfriend, but she was in secret. She had always avoided mentioning Xia Xiaowan. When seeing Xia Xiaowan, she also only had a timid look.
Gu Nianbin hadn’t intended to reveal the truth in front of Xia Xiaowan so quickly because he was afraid that the latter would tell her parents about it. But since Du Xiaoxian already took action like this today, he had to do something as well.
The little girl said slowly, “I shouldn’t… shouldn’t have… played the woman…”
Gu Nianbin laughed. “Lying on my back is called playing the woman? Who taught you that?”
“Sister Zhou taught me.” Zhou Ting had clearly told her not to tell Gu Nianbin about their conversation in the afternoon. After the little girl finished speaking, she remembered that and immediately added, “You must not scold her again. She was doing it for my own good.”
“Don’t worry, I promised you.” Gu Nianbin lowered his head and kissed her in the face. “But why did she teach you to do that?”
“She said,” Du Xiaoxian was tickled by his kiss and dodged a little, “she wanted me to defend my rights.”
“What rights?” Gu Nianbin asked her again. He just wanted to force her to make a love confession bit by bit.
Du Xiaoxian leaned against his face and gasped slightly. Her voice became even softer. “You’re mine. And I can’t… can’t let you steal away by someone else.”
Gu Nianbin suddenly felt an extreme happiness in his heart, so happy that he even felt a little pricking. He held Du Xiaoxian’s face and kissed her gently and domineeringly. His voice was ambiguous between his lips and teeth, “Fool, I’m yours and no one can steal me from you.”
Du Xiaoxian was a little dizzy by his kiss, but she still kept a little distance from him rationally and asked, “Is Miss Xia still your girlfriend?”
