Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Why Did You Steal My Clothes?
In the middle of the night, Gu Nianbin felt a little feverish again. He groaned a few times. Du Xiaoxian remembered the nurse’s words and did not dare to sleep too deep. Hearing the man’s groaning, she hurriedly touched his forehead. It was indeed hot again. She quietly got up and went to the bathroom to get a wet towel over and put it on the man’s forehead. The water was as cold as ice in this season of year. Gu Nianbin was stimulated by the coldness so much that he frowned and half opened his eyes.

Du Xiaoxian turned on the wall lamp. The tiny orange light shone behind her, looking as if she had been plated with a blonde edge. Even her hair was blonde. Gu Nianbin remembered that when she first came to his family, her hair was thin and yellow, as if she was malnourished. Afterwards, her hair slowly turned dark black. She was much more rounded than when she first arrived. He watched her change bit by bit, but now she was actually leaving him!

Du Xiaoxian’s big eyes flashed in the darkness against the light, but they were filled with anxiety. Seeing him open his eyes, she hurriedly asked, “Do you feel very uncomfortable? Do you want me to get you some warm water to drink?”

However, Gu Nianbin closed his eyes again. He frowned and groaned again. He looked extremely uncomfortable. Du Xiaoxian was so anxious and didn’t know what to do. She kept touching his neck and face, trying to cool him down with her cold hands. “This won’t do. Let’s go to the hospital. Let’s go to the hospital, okay?”

Gu Nianbin stopped groaning and seemed to call her unconsciously, “Xian’er, Xian’er…”

“I’m here, I’m here,” Du Xiaoxian replied repeatedly, holding his hand. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

“Don’t leave me, don’t leave me…” Gu Nianbin frowned even more heavily. “Xiaoxian, don’t leave me, don’t leave me…”

“I won’t… I won’t leave you.” At this moment, Du Xiaoxian was only willing to follow his will. “I won’t leave you, I won’t leave you.”

“You swear,” Gu Nianbin murmured.

“I swear!” Du Xiaoxian raised her right hand.

Gu Nianbin immediately opened his eyes and said, “You must keep your word. You’ve sworn!”

Du Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment. She saw that Gu Nianbin’s eyes were very clear and didn’t seem to be as misty as just now. Only then did she know that he was faking it. She had never been angry with him. But now, she was so angry that she grabbed Gu Nianbin and beat him. “Brother, you bullied me again. I was scared to death. You bullied me!”

She didn’t know how to curse others. She would always say, you bullied me!

Gu Nianbin cried out and grabbed her hands. “You bullied me. I’m still having a fever, but you beat me!”

Du Xiaoxian fiercely punched him again, “What fever? You’re faking it!”

Gu Nianbin said, “Feel it yourself. My forehead is so hot, how could it be that I’m faking it? It’s not like I can heat up myself automatically.”

Du Xiaoxian touched his forehead carefully again. Sure enough, it was still hot. She was so angry that she wanted to hit him again. “You won’t stop annoying me even when you’re sick.”

When Gu Nianbin woke up in the hospital, he seemed to have vaguely heard the conversation just now. At that time, he was so ill that he was unconscious. He did not know if it was an illusion or a dream. Afterwards, he did not dare to ask Du Xiaoxian for fear that she would not admit it. However, there was always an impression that lingered in his heart. When he opened his eyes just now, he was sober, and he suddenly remembered that matter. So he played a trick and put on a play like that.

“Anyway, you’ve agreed. Don’t want to go back on your word.” Gu Nianbin clenched her hands tightly and said, “You have to keep your word. You said it yourself. You have to do it.”

Gu Nianbin used Du Xiaoxian’s wise words to stop her from arguing. The little girl was really speechless. She glanced at him angrily, “You cheated. You only know to bully me.”

“Xian’er,” Gu Nianbin pulled her down and hugged her in his arms. He said gently, “I really can’t do it without you. Come back with me. I promise that nothing like that will happen again. I swear!” As he spoke, Gu Nianbin raised his right hand to his ear and then continued, “If there is a second time, I’ll be punished with loneliness for my entire life and I’ll suffer from loneliness forever!”

This was the first time Du Xiaoxian had heard such an oath. But on second thought, she quickly covered the man’s mouth and said, “Don’t swear this oath. I don’t want you to be alone all your life.”

“With you by my side, of course I won’t be lonely,” Gu Nianbin held her hand and kissed it. “Trust me, Xian’er, it was my mistake this time. I put you in trouble. You can punish me no matter what you want, just don’t leave me.”

Du Xiaoxian opened her eyes wide, “Why is it that you put me in trouble? It’s clearly my fault, I put you in trouble!”

Gu Nianbin hadn’t wanted to tell her the truth about the matter because he didn’t want her to know such an ugly human nature. However, after the incident, he also felt that Shao Boqing’s words were correct. He had protected her too well, and it was not beneficial.

She was too kind and innocent, thinking that others smiling at her was being kind to her, but she couldn’t see the hidden evil intent under the smiling face. It was better to let her know the truth and let her learn to tell the truth from false. After all, there were too many things to guard against in this world. If she had some alertness and was able to distinguish between good and evil, that would be okay.

Gu Nianbin then told her everything he knew. Hearing that, Du Xiaoxian remained silent for a long time before she sighed faintly.

Gu Nianbin waited to hear what she thought. Seeing that it was just like that, he asked, “Why don’t you say anything?”

Du Xiaoxian lazily rested in his arms. After a while, she whispered, “Miss Xia is very pitiful.”

Gu Nianbin waited for a long time but only got this answer. He couldn’t help but feel a little strange. “She set up such a trap for you. Don’t you hate her?”

“Her heart is sick,” said Du Xiaoxian. “If a person’s heart is sick, she must be in pain. Whether I hate her or not, she is in pain. I just feel sorry for her.”

Gu Nianbin had never expected her to say such words. He was also stunned. He understood what she meant. Xia Xiaowan would be tired in her heart and get unhappy because she always schemed on conspiracies. At the same time as she plotted against others, she was also in pain herself.

The two of them snuggled quietly. Du Xiaoxian would occasionally touch Gu Nianbin’s forehead and ask him if he was feeling better. Gu Nianbin said yes. But Du Xiaoxian suddenly said, “Actually, I still hate her. It’s fine if she wanted to harm me. But she got you involved. She wanted to destroy you because she couldn’t get you. She is too bad.”

However, Gu Nianbin was a little angry because of the first half of her sentence. He said, “She wanted to ruin your reputation, so how can you let it go? Is that a trivial matter?”

Du Xiaoxian lowered her eyes and didn’t say anything when she heard the man’s unkind words. If she was really contaminated, she wouldn’t kill herself to show her determination, but she would definitely leave Gu Nianbin because her body was dirty. The villagers always scolded her mother for being dirty and said she was a bad woman. Such insults didn’t stop until her mother died. She didn’t want to follow her mother’s old path, so she would definitely leave and find a place where no one knew her.

Seeing Du Xiaoxian shrink into a ball, Gu Nianbin was reluctant to scold her. After a while, he released his hand and said, “I’m sweating all over. I want to get up and change my clothes.”

“Ah?” Du Xiaoxian shouted and said, “I only bought a shirt. There’re no clothes for you to change. Why don’t you just dry it under the quilt?”

Gu Nianbin smiled and said, “That won’t do. It doesn’t feel good when the clothes stick to my body. If there’re no other clothes, I can do it naked.”

Du Xiaoxian blushed, but then she suddenly remembered something. She jumped out of bed and flipped out a white shirt from her bag to give it to Gu Nianbin. “Wear this one.”

Gu Nianbin immediately recognized that it was his clothes. But he purposely asked with a serious face, “Why do you keep a men’s clothes?”

Du Xiaoxian’s face was originally red, and now, it was even more intense, as if she was having a fever, and it was extremely hot. She murmured, “It’s, it’s yours!”

Gu Nianbin couldn’t hold back his laughter. With his laughter, the little girl became even more embarrassed. She stood by the bed and wished she could hide in a hole in the ground.

However, Gu Nianbin asked her seriously, “Why did you steal my clothes?”

Du Xiaoxian lowered her head and said in a soft voice like she was wronged, “I want to take it as a way of remembering.”

“Come here.” Gu Nianbin sat up and waved at her.

Du Xiaoxian stood motionless. Gu Nianbin stretched out his hand and pulled her, causing the little girl to fall into his embrace. The man held her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her…

Du Xiaoxian’s nose was filled with the aura of the man. Every time she was in this state, she would panic incomparably and her mind would go blank. Gu Nianbin actually didn’t want to kiss her because he was afraid of giving her his cold. However, when he saw the white shirt, there was like a surging wave in his heart. He couldn’t calm down for a long time. Finally, he couldn’t hold it back, but he just kissed her lightly for a short while before letting her go. At this moment, Du Xiaoxian’s mind went blank, and her saneness was all gone. When Gu Nianbin let go of her, the little girl was still dumbfounded.

Gu Nianbin smiled and pinched her face, “What, haven’t you kissed me enough? Then let’s continue!” As he spoke, he made a move and leaned forward.

Du Xiaoxian pushed his face aside and laughed angrily, “Hurry up and change your clothes.”

Gu Nianbin didn’t want to stop and deliberately pretended to be weak. “I don’t have the strength. Could you change the clothes for me?”

Du Xiaoxian had a thin skin, and she was afraid that he really didn’t have the strength. She blushed, bit her lips, and slowly reached out to unbutton his buttons.

Gu Nianbin did not expect her to be so obedient. Looking at her shy and timid appearance, he almost couldn’t restrain himself. He hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, “I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously. Wait until I really can’t move, then you can serve me.”

Du Xiaoxian’s hand shrank. She glared at him half embarrassedly and half angrily. She then shrank into the quilt and said, “I trusted you so much, but you always bully me. I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”

Gu Nianbin smiled and changed his clothes. Then, he lay down and forcefully pulled over the little girl who had her back facing him. “It’s all fake that I bully you. It’s true that you bully me.”

Du Xiaoxian said, “How did I bully you?”

“Doesn’t leaving me without saying anything mean bullying me?” Gu Nianbin began to blame her after everything had happened. “Do you know how I felt when I got home and saw the note? It was as if I had fallen into a bottomless cave and was covered in cold sweat. I immediately checked the surveillance to figure out your route and found out that you came to S City. It just so happened that the god also helped me. A heavy rain trapped you at the station, so that I could find you. Now I think about it, I’m still afraid. If I couldn’t find you, what should I do? Then I will truly die of loneliness and suffer the pain of lovesickness for my entire life. ”

Du Xiaoxian knew that he was telling the truth. He had chased after her without stopping. It could be seen how anxious he was. He came to her without even bringing his mobile phone and wallet. She was touched and rubbed against the man in his embrace. She asked, “The news was overwhelmed on the Internet. Was it because the old master and madam also learned that, and that’s why you were in a hurry to return to the ancestral mansion?”

“They didn’t know, but they would know sooner or later, so I thought I’d tell them myself instead of letting them hear it from someone else.”

Du Xiaoxian was shocked. She raised her head and asked, “Did you tell them?”

“Yes, I did,” Gu Nianbin said slowly.

“Then, then…” Du Xiaoxian carefully asked, “Were they very angry?”

Gu Nianbin squeezed her hair in his hand and said, “As soon as they heard it was you, they immediately agreed to let us be together.”

“Really?” Du Xiaoxian was so frightened that she half-propped herself up and looked at him in disbelief. “Did they really agree?”

“Yes,” Gu Nianbin pressed her down and let her lie down, “from now on, you can stay by my side openly and see which woman dares to hit on me again?”

Du Xiaoxian laughed and lightly punched him, “Stop showing off shamelessly.”

Gu Nianbin laughed loudly. He felt that he no longer felt any uncomfortable. He hugged Du Xiaoxian like this and they laughed like an ordinary couple. Gu Nianbin felt extremely happy and warm. Putting everything aside, it was just that simple, and it was already very happy.

After a long time, every time Gu Nianbin thought of this night, he would always feel painful in his heart, as if a knife were piercing his heart…
