Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 132

Chapter 132 I Will Prove Your Innocence
Du Xiaoxian did not wake up. She rolled over and fell asleep again with her back towards Gu Nianbin. A corner of the quilt rested on her shoulders, revealing the thin lemon-yellow sweater underneath.

Gu Nianbin was very impressed with the sweater. It was bought on some day in early autumn. After they had dinner in a restaurant and walked in the streets, Du Xiaoxian accidentally saw this sweater through the show window and was immediately attracted by it. She pulled him to the store to take a look. In fact, the style of the sweater was a little childish, but it was exactly the type Du Xiaoxian liked. She did not say that she wanted to buy it, but her eyes revealed a bit of attachment. Of course, he bought it without saying a word. Du Xiaoxian was so happy that she insisted on carrying the bag with the sweater in it and flipped out of the store.

At that time, he even laughed at her for buying children’s clothes. Du Xiaoxian smiled embarrassedly, then she pretended to be angry and pounded him in the chest with her hands. She pouted and said that she just liked children’s clothes, and so what? What else could he do? Even if she liked the stars in the sky, he would take them down for her!

She was the brightest star in his world, the most gorgeous color in his gray life, his breathing and heartbeat that he could not lose. He had thought that he could live like this for the rest of his life, with Du Xiaoxian obeying him in every way like a cute and docile girl. But she actually lied to him, forgot all those vows, and ran away without saying a word.

Fortunately, he found her. Gu Nianbin felt very lucky. After he got off the long-distance bus, he was caught in a downpour. He came out of the exit and saw Du Xiaoxian through the white curtain of rain water. At first, he didn’t see her clearly. She was just a small ball under the wall and he couldn’t see what it was. However, he was attracted by it. He couldn’t help but walk over in the rain and found that it was her. At that moment, the joy that he had lost and the rage that filled his heart were intertwined. A violent storm also rose in his heart. He wanted to scold her fiercely; then he wanted to hug her in his arms and kiss her ferociously. But in the end, he did nothing. He just quietly looked at her, wanting to know what she was thinking.

Actually, he didn’t need her to say anything, because she was too simple, too kind. It was for his sake that she chose to leave. No matter how much pain and grievance she suffered, as long as it was for his sake, she could endure. But this was the last thing he wanted. He wanted to protect her, build a beautiful world for her, and let her live a carefree life. But now, everything that had occurred deviated from his expectations.

It was already pitch black outside the window. It was raining so heavily that even the street lights were much dimmer. The tall building on the left only had a few lights on. It was as if everyone had fallen asleep because of the rain. The rain rustled and knocked on the glass window. The sound was indeed an excellent lullaby. Gu Nianbin stood by the window and pinched his eyebrows. He was too tired.

Gu Nianbin gently closed the curtains and took off that stupid coat. He quietly lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed. Then, he quietly held his little girl in his arms and fell asleep together with her. Although he was a little hungry, he did not have any appetite. Instead, he hugged Du Xiaoxian, as if he could ignore the feeling of hunger.

When Du Xiaoxian woke up, it was already the next morning. The curtains had not been pulled open, and the room looked very dark. She was confused for a moment and did not know where she was. However, she found an arm around her waist, a familiar aura in her nose, and a warm embrace against her back. She was relieved. As long as Gu Nianbin was around, she would not be afraid.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. She remembered that she was clearly going to leave Gu Nianbin, so why was she sleeping on the same bed with him?

The man’s breathing was even and steady. He probably hadn’t woken up yet. Du Xiaoxian didn’t dare to look back and quietly moved to the bedside. But just as she moved, the hand on her waist forcefully pulled her back. The man’s voice was very clear, sounding not a bit like that he had just woken up.

“You wanted to run away again?” Gu Nianbin did not dream all night and slept very well. He woke up early because he was afraid that Du Xiaoxian would sneak away again.

Du Xiaoxian’s body froze there, and she wanted to pretend to be asleep. The man rolled his arm and turned her over to make her face him.

Du Xiaoxian closed her eyes, but her shaking eyelashes betrayed her. Gu Nianbin stretched out his hand and gently scratched her armpit. Du Xiaoxian couldn’t hold it in any longer. She laughed and brushed his hand away. She smiled and said, “What are you doing?”

“Did you want to leave just now?”

Du Xiaoxian restrained her smile and did not say anything. Gu Nianbin knew that it was true. His face immediately sank and he hugged her more tightly. “Why did you leave?”

Du Xiaoxian felt a little uncomfortable from being held tightly by him. She struggled against his chest and whispered, “Didn’t I tell you yesterday? I’m a bad woman. I don’t want to be a drag to you.”

Gu Nianbin pressed her hand under his body and did not allow her to move. He said patiently, “I also said that you were framed. Go back with me, and I will prove your innocence.”

Du Xiaoxian shook her head but remained silent.

Gu Nianbin thought that the most terrible time had elapsed the day before. The little girl should be calmer now and he tried to reason with her. In the end, Du Xiaoxian wasn’t moved at all by whatever he said. It was as if he was talking to a hard rock. She did not hear a word of what he said to her.

When Gu Nianbin found that talking soft didn’t work, he decided to act tough. He stared at her fiercely, but the two of them were still hugging each other. No matter how fierce he looked, the actual effect wasn’t so good. The little girl was afraid, and she shrank her body and trembled. However, she still didn’t say a word. Gu Nianbin was angry and sighed in his heart. He didn’t know what to do with this stubborn little girl.

Although Gu Nianbin was angry, he was reluctant to let go of her. In the end, he sat up and pulled Du Xiaoxian up along with him. “You’re not clear-headed now. After breakfast, we can have a good talk.”

Du Xiaoxian put on her slippers and went to the bathroom without saying a word. After a while, she came out and said to Gu Nianbin, “The toothbrushes and toothpaste here are not good. I’ll buy some new for you from outside.”

“If you can use them, why can’t I?” Gu Nianbin glanced at her angrily and followed her into the bathroom. She wanted to find an excuse to escape, but there was no way!

However, the toothbrush in the inn was really not good. The brushes were thick and hard, making Gu Nianbin’s gums bleed. The towel was also coarse, making his face uncomfortable. Gu Nianbin had led a comfortable life and had never used such cheap items. He couldn’t help but frown slightly. However, if Du Xiaoxian could use them, why couldn’t he? Gu Nianbin angrily looked at the little girl who was cooking noodles. He twisted the wet towel dry and wiped his face again. There was no razor and he couldn’t shave his face. Gu Nianbin touched the black stubble on his chin. Somehow, He suddenly remembered that when they laughed and played together in the past, he always deliberately pricked Du Xiaoxian in the face with his beard. The little girl laughed happily and ran away. If he caught her, she would bury her face in his arms and make him unable to prick her. Even so, he did not intend to let her go. Instead, he would prick her in the neck. The little girl itched so badly that she could only push him away and ran. Such games could often be played for a long time until they were exhausted and fell on the sofa together, ending in a hug and kiss.

Gu Nianbin thought about the good old days and looked at the stubborn little girl outside. He felt a little annoyed. She was right beside him, but he couldn’t bring her back. The always obedient little girl became stubborn, and now she made him feel very insecure.

After Gu Nianbin finished washing up, Du Xiaoxian had already gotten the noodles ready. She stared at him with her big black eyes and asked, “Which one do you want?”

Was there any need to choose between this kind of junk food? Gu Nianbin went out and wandered around for a long time last night. There were small restaurants everywhere, as well as booths with big cooking pots on the side of the streets. Some cooks were frying dishes that smelled quite nice. However, the dirty environment made Gu Nianbin shy away, and he was afraid that his little girl would have loose bowels after eating dishes cooked here. Finally, he went to a small supermarket and bought a few boxes of instant noodles. Although they weren’t nutritious, they were clean.

He casually took out a box of instant noodles and opened it. A strong fragrance assaulted his nose. Du Xiaoxian couldn’t help but take a deep breath and said, “It really smells good! Yours are beef noodles!” Her bright eyes shone. To her, everything was delicious.

Gu Nianbin handed the box to her. The little girl hurriedly waved her hand and pointed at another box, saying, “I’ll have this.”

“Take it.” Gu Nianbin couldn’t help but be a little angry. He had a lot on his mind, but Du Xiaoxian looked like nothing unusual had happened. She was completely focused on her food. Was she really not sad at all to leave him?

Seeing that the man’s expression was not happy, Du Xiaoxian could only obediently take the noodles. She used her fork to pick up some noodles and put them into her mouth. Then she clicked her tongue twice and said, “Delicious, very nice.”

Gu Nianbin glanced at her angrily and carried his noodles to the window to eat.

After a night of violent winds and torrential rain, the French parasol trees downstairs were left with bare branches that silently extended into the still gloomy sky. Fallen leaves covered the ground, and even quite a lot of withered branches fell. There were also all kinds of rubbish swept over by the wind. At a glance, it was a scene of complete decay.

The rain hadn’t stopped completely. It turned into a drizzle, with extremely small raindrops falling like willow catkins in the air, wrapping everything in a gray mist. Gu Nianbin’s mood became even worse. He didn’t know what to do next. Last night, when Du Xiaoxian was asleep, he hid in the office room and sent Shao Boqing a text message, asking him to be in charge of the company’s affairs for the next few days. Before Shao Boqing could reply, he turned off his phone. To him, there was nothing more important than Du Xiaoxian.

After Du Xiaoxian finished the instant noodles, she even drank the soup before leaving the box on the table. She looked up at Gu Nianbin. The man’s back looked a little bleak and sad. Du Xiaoxian’s nose suddenly turned sour and she wanted to cry. She tried her best to restrain herself and sniffed loudly. Gu Nianbin turned around and finally saw the sadness on her face. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. She was actually sad to leave him.

Gu Nianbin’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. He put down the noodle box in his hand and walked over to hug the little girl in his arms. He whispered, “Xiaoxian, come back with me, okay? I know you’re reluctant to leave me.”

Du Xiaoxian buried her face in his chest and hugged his waist tightly, as if she wanted to press herself into the man’s body. Gu Nianbin’s heart palpitated and his chest tightened. He bent down and lightly kissed Du Xiaoxian’s hair, “It’s all my fault. I’ve let you suffer. Xiaoxian, don’t worry. Leave all the problems to me, okay?”

Du Xiaoxian burst into tears in her heart. It’s just leaving everything to you that made her sad. When seeing those people scolding and mocking him, she felt even more uncomfortable…

After a long time, Du Xiaoxian raised her head and looked at Gu Nianbin firmly. She slowly shook her head!
