Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 124
Chapter 124 You’ve Already Disturbed Me
The early morning sun shone through the window, as if a fine layer of golden sand had been laid in the room. Before Shao Boqing opened his eyes, he felt that there should be flowers and birds singing outside the window. He really smelled the fragrance and heard the birds’ crisp chirp. However, when he opened his eyes and sat up, he found that it was the bleak autumn outside the window. The French parasol tree had long since shaken off its yellow leaves, and its bare branches silently extended into the sky.
Fortunately, the sky was pure and the sun was shining. Shao Boqing took a deep breath of the fresh air in the morning in a beautiful mood and checked the time. It was still early. He got out of bed and gently opened the door, listening with ears pricked up for a minute. He didn’t hear any sound. Then he stood on tiptoe to Nina’s door and listened again for a while, but there was still no sound. Perhaps she hadn’t woken up.
Shao Boqing raised his eyebrows and went to the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator to see what he could do for breakfast. Only noodles and eggs were found. But he didn’t mind that the ingredients were simple, because he couldn’t cook other complicated ones. Nina cooked a late night meal for him last night, so this morning, he was going to make Nina a loving breakfast.
Different from Nina, he did not cook the egg with noodles, but fried the egg in a pan. When he watched Hong Kong romantic movies with other girls in the past, he often saw the hero get up early to make breakfast for the heroine. Every time there would be a fried egg, which was cooked tender, and the yolk inside could even still flow. It was very appetizing.
Unfortunately, this was the first time Young Master Shao had fried an egg. The plot on TV was familiar, but it wasn’t easy for him to do it himself. The oil was lacking and the egg got burnt the minute it was put onto the pan. With the smell of burnt food, he waved the turner and turned over the fried egg to reveal its burnt side. He didn’t know to turn down the fire because he was afraid that the egg might be under-cooked. He let the egg stay in the pan for a long time before getting the black fried egg out. The noodles on the other stove had already been overcooked, and the chopsticks couldn’t even pick up an intact noodle.
Shao Boqing was discouraged and turned off the fire. He heavily sighed. He had been served by others since he was young, and he never cooked. Today, he was carried away by a whim and wanted to display his cooking skills, but the result was horrible to see.
Someone opened the door with a key and came in. It was Nina. She actually came back from outside. No wonder he didn’t wake her up even though he made such big noises. Nina looked at the messy kitchen in surprise and asked him, “What are you doing?”
Shao Boqing said dejectedly, “Can’t you tell? I’m making breakfast.”
“Come out for breakfast,” Nina said, her expression softened, “I bought some food back.”
Shao Boqing looked at the rotten noodles and a black fried egg. Then he walked out dejectedly and said, “I haven’t washed yet.”
Nina rolled her eyes at him and muttered, “How troublesome.” Still, she walked to the cabinet to take out a new toothbrush and towel and stuffed them into his hand. “These are from supermarket, don’t dislike them.”
“No, no, not at all.” Shao Boqing swept away the frustration on his face and smiled happily again. He took the toothbrush and towel to the bathroom to wash up.
When he finished washing up and came out, Nina had already put the breakfast on the table. There was a bowl of small wontons and a cup of soybean milk.
Shao Boqing sat down and said before eating, “The wonton is so fragrant!”
“I bought it at the Jiexin Park. The wonton there is the best.” Nina seemed to be in a good mood and was willing to talk to him.
Shao Boqing took the opportunity to say, “Nina, are we still friends now?”
Nina scooped up the wontons with a spoon and didn’t say anything, as if she wanted to hear what he meant.
Shao Boqing was very uneasy when he didn’t hear her answer him. He asked with embarrassment, “Are we? We are, right? We have been getting along well. When you were my secretary, I was not mean to you, right? You are no longer my secretary now, but can we still be friends?”
Nina looked at him for a long time and finally said, “Talk things through, what do you want to do?”
“I don’t want to do anything, I just want to be friends with you.”
“And then?” Nina raised her eyebrows and looked at him vigilantly.
“Then,” Shao Boqing tried his best to be sincere, “we’ll just be friends. Perhaps I did many bad things in the past, but now I’ve changed a lot. If we continue to get along, you’ll see that I’ve really changed a lot.”
“What do you mean by saying that we continue to get along?”
“Since we are friends, we will definitely have contacts. It’s very normal for us to meet, have a meal, and have a chat once in a while!”
Nina swallowed the wonton in her mouth and said indifferently, “I don’t intend to get along with you, nor do I want to be friends with you. Don’t think that I took you in last night, so you could ask for more. I’m telling you the same as before. Let’s take our separate ways. If we meet, we will be just strangers. This shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?”
“Why?” Shao Boqing really didn’t understand. “Can’t we just be ordinary friends? It’s not like I’m going to disturb your life.”
“I like a quiet life and don’t like being disturbed,” Nina said. “Now, you’ve already disturbed me.”
Shao Boqing sighed and lowered his head to eat the small wontons silently. However, the delicious wonton was already tasteless in his mouth.
He thought that it was a good start since he could enter the house and stay for a night. She even brought him a quilt in the middle of the night and cooked him noodles. He didn’t expect it to be a short joy. Shao Boqing finished the wontons without tasting any flavor and then took the dishes to the kitchen to wash.
Nina said, “You don’t need to do that. Leave the dishes there. I’ll wash them myself later.”
Shao Boqing did not listen to her, as if he was angry with someone. He stood by the sink alone and threw all the dirty dishes into the sink to wash. He didn’t know how to wash the dishes and used a lot of detergent. As a result, more and more bubbles appeared, and they even spilled out from the sink, causing the floor to be filled with them.
Nina stood at the door and shook her head. “Boss Shao, this is really not your job. I didn’t want you to wash the dishes because of courtesy. Look what you’ve done to my kitchen.”
Shao Boqing did not wear an apron and his clothes were also dirty. In addition, he was in a bad mood. So he said in a rough voice, “Don’t worry, I’ll mop the floor too later.”
Nina stopped talking and left him alone in the kitchen. She turned around and went back to her room.
Shao Boqing mopped the kitchen floor and also the floor in the living room. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He wondered if Nina would kindly treat him a lunch for the sake of his hard work this morning.
When Nina came out, she looked at the floor he had just mopped and said with a speechless expression, “Boss Shao, what on earth are you doing here? You made a mess of my kitchen, and now you’re even using the kitchen mop to mop the floor in the living room, did you do it on purpose?”
Shao Boqing was dumbfounded. He scratched his head and looked at the mop again. Was there a difference between a kitchen mop and any other mop? He had never done housework, so he really didn’t know.
Actually, if it were at Nina’s previous apartment, there would be no need to care about what mop he used. However, the smoking machine in her current house was not very effective. After cooking a meal, the floor was always greasy and sticky. Therefore, she specially prepared a kitchen mop to mop up the kitchen. After cooking each day, she would mop the kitchen floor once to avoid getting her feet stuck to it.
Young Master Shao, who had always been full of confidence, suffered a heavy blow on this beautiful autumn morning. He felt as if everything he did was wrong. He was very puzzled in his heart. In the eyes of other women, he was extraordinarily noble, but in Nina’s eyes, he was nothing but a failure.
In the end, under Nina’s disgusted gaze, Young Master Shao went out in depression with his head down.
As he drove home to change his clothes, Gu Nianbin, who was lying in Room 1813 of Jinxiu Hotel, had just opened his eyes. Actually, he was tired. He had sex all night. Du Xiaoxian was drugged heavily and pounced over and pestered him again and again. As a strong man with extremely healthy body and mind, he almost died in her bed.
However, when he woke up in the morning, he was exceptionally energetic. Every cell was vigorously beating, making him want to have her again.
The little girl in his arms was still asleep, and the red tide on her face was not gone. Her long eyelashes curved, and there were sparks of tears hanging on them, like drops of dew on the grass by the lake in the morning. Gu Nianbin couldn’t help but kiss her again when seeing her pink lips pouted there like she was asking for a kiss. The intimate kissing marks on her neck overlapped, showing how crazy they were last night.
He once said that when Du Xiaoxian reached the age of eighteen, he would let her become his woman. He didn’t expect that his words would come true. It was on the night that she was eighteen that they were united together. Although it was because of a sinister conspiracy, the process was still beautiful and they devoted to each other unreservedly.
The only thing he rejoiced at was that in her confusion and madness, the little girl did not feel any pain and transformed from a girl into his woman just like that!
Actually, he shouldn’t stay in bed today. Last night’s dancing party turned into a mess, and there were still many things that were waiting for him to deal with. He would not let the matter pass easily. He would make all the involved parties pay a heavy price. It wasn’t that he didn’t regret it in his heart. The bad thing was caused to Du Xiaoxian by him. Because of his refusal, Xia Xiaowan was so crazy. Thinking of that woman, his gaze turned cold, and he wished he could cut her into thousands of pieces. He would crush her bones and turn her into ashes.
The little girl in his arms finally moved. Gu Nianbin hurriedly stroked her back, wanting her to continue sleeping peacefully. After all, she was also very tired.
However, Du Xiaoxian opened her eyes and stared blankly at his chest.
“Xiaoxian,” he whispered to her, because he had just woken up, his voice was still full of sleepiness, “you’re awake.”
Only then did Du Xiaoxian raise her head to look at him, frowning and saying, “I have a headache.”
Gu Nianbin gently pressed her temple with his fingers and said, “Then you should sleep for a while longer. I’ll accompany you.”
Du Xiaoxian closed her eyes under his gentle massage. After a while, she asked, “What time is it?”
“Nine o’clock.”
Du Xiaoxian exclaimed and looked up at him, “Aren’t you going to work?”
“No,” he said gently, “I’m not going anywhere today. I’ll stay here with you.”
“But I have to go to school.”
“You don’t need to go to school today either,” Gu Nianbin said lazily. “Take a day off. We’ll both take a day off.”
“Oh,” Du Xiaoxian answered. She wanted to turn over. Just as she moved, she felt pain everywhere on her body. It was as if she had been severely beaten by someone. Feeling strange, she lifted the quilt to see and then her face turned red instantly. Under the quilt, both of them were naked.
Gu Nianbin pressed down the quilt and said, “Didn’t you see enough last night?”
No wonder she was so tired. It turned out that last night they were already… Du Xiaoxian rubbed against his embrace in embarrassment. She did not dare to look up at him and whispered, “Brother, I am yours now.”
“Little fool.” Gu Nianbin stroked her smooth back. “I’m yours, too! You must be responsible for me. Don’t abandon me!”
“Of course not,” Du Xiaoxian wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his embrace. “I will never leave you.”
Gu Nianbin lowered his head to kiss her hair and said in a low voice, “I will never leave you.”
