Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 139

Chapter 139 So He Is Really a Big Shot
After Gu Nianbin finished the infusion in the hospital, he kept his promise and went to see the old woman with Du Xiaoxian. They stayed in the ward for a long time and chatted with the old woman. Gu Nianbin gave her a massage, and drank the chicken soup that the old woman had specially left for him. President Gu, who always liked to keep a distance from strangers, felt that this scene was very warm. Although they had met by chance, they got along quite well. He had an indifferent personality, and the old woman had a strange temper. These two people who were originally never going to meet were now chatting nicely because of Du Xiaoxian. This was a scene that Gu Nianbin had never dared to imagine before. Actually, unknowingly, he was also greatly changed by Du Xiaoxian…

At noon, Gu Nianbin wanted to take the little girl out to have some nice food, but Du Xiaoxian was concerned about the leftovers from yesterday and felt that it would be a waste not to finish them. After all, they were bought with the money that she had worked hard to get. She insisted on going back to eat the leftovers. Gu Nianbin could not persuade her, so he had to take a taxi back to the inn with her.

After entering the room, Du Xiaoxian just asked him to sit and rest. She carried the food box on her own to heat the leftovers in the microwave downstairs. The inn-keeper and his wife were just about to have lunch too, so they shared some food with Du Xiaoxian. Du Xiaoxian did not refuse and thanked them. She then took the food to their room and placed them on the table. She said to Gu Nianbin with smiling eyes, “Let’s have lunch!”

Gu Nianbin only felt strange. In his eyes, this was a bitter life. They stayed in a small inn and ate leftovers. However, as long as with Du Xiaoxian, this kind of unpleasant life seemed to be the best. He was always infected by her happiness, so he sat down obediently and picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

After lunch, the two of them rested for a while before beginning to pack their luggage to leave. Gu Nianbin made a phone call. As soon as he took out his phone, Du Xiaoxian glanced at him angrily. She still remembered that he had lied to her. President Gu secretly laughed in his heart. He pretended that he didn’t notice her angry gaze and gave instructions to someone over the phone in a light tone.

The moment they walked out of the room, Du Xiaoxian turned around and looked back. She seemed to be a little reluctant to leave. Gu Nianbin noticed that and said, “If you like this place, we can stay here for another night.”

Compared with the splendid hotel, Du Xiaoxian was more at ease in this kind of place. But she couldn’t let Gu Nianbin suffer with her, so she shook her head and said, “Let’s go.”

The inn-keeper and his wife downstairs were puzzled when they saw a luxury car parked at the door. They only recognized the BMW or Benz cars. They were not familiar with the black car with the logo of a horse. But from the looks of it, it should be a more advanced car than the BMW or Benz. However, why was it parked outside their inn? Would those people who could drive this car come to live in a small inn like theirs?

Du Xiaoxian got downstairs. Seeing the inn-keeper and his wife standing at the door with their backs to her, she called them. The proprietress turned around and saw the luggage in their hands. She asked in surprise, “Are you two leaving now?”

“Yes,” Du Xiaoxian walked to the counter, “I’ll pay for the room.”

The proprietress looked at the clock on the wall and said, “There’s no need. It’s right the check-out time. There’s no need to pay any more.”

Du Xiaoxian did not understand these things. She had thought that she would have to pay for half a day’s stay. Hearing the proprietress say so, she asked, “Is there really no need to pay?”

“No need, you’ll only need to pay for staying at night.”

Normally, the check-out time was twelve o’clock at noon, but now it was two o’clock in the afternoon. Gu Nianbin knew that the proprietress wanted to charge them less, but he didn’t put it straight. He nodded at the proprietress and then led Du Xiaoxian out.

At this time, a man wearing a formal suit came out of the luxury car parked outside. He quickly walked over and bowed to Gu Nianbin. He respectfully greeted him, “Good afternoon, President.” As he spoke, he took over the luggage in Gu Nianbin’s hand.

Gu Nianbin asked him, “Where is the thing I told you to bring?”

“Here it is.” The man took out a large envelope from his pocket and handed it to Gu Nianbin.

Gu Nianbin said to Du Xiaoxian, “Get in the car first. I’ll be right back.”

Du Xiaoxian nodded and got into the car obediently. Gu Nianbin walked to the inn-keeper and his wife who were staring at them with dumbstruck expressions. He stuffed the envelope into the inn-keeper’ hand and said, “We’ve troubled you these past two days. Here’s my little gift for you, please do accept it.” Then without waiting for them to say anything, he turned around and got into the car.

The inn-keeper and his wife looked at each other with fear. They didn’t know who Gu Nianbin was. They heard the man call him president, but why would a president live here? And they also paid for their room by the day. Du Xiaoxian even got up early in the morning and went to work for the breakfast store to earn money. What was going on?

The inn-keeper hurriedly opened the envelope and found that there was actually a bundle of new hundred-yuan paper money inside!

They were really so rich! But…

The proprietress finally realized what was happening, “We can’t accept this money, can we?”

The inn-keeper blinked his eyes. “The car has already left. What should we do if we don’t accept it?”

The proprietress stretched her neck and looked over along the road. The traffic was flowing, and she could not see their car at all! She thought for a moment and said, “Then we’ll take it. Looks like we’ve met two influential people.”

The inn-keeper said, “The little girl looked ordinary. But that young man was unusual. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, his temperament was definitely not ordinary. I was puzzled. So he is really a big shot!”

The proprietress rolled her eyes at him and said, “See what you’re saying now. Why didn’t you say this long ago? Now you’re just making a belated statement.”

Gu Nianbin brought Du Xiaoxian to the busiest department store in S City. He had a slightly morbid fear of getting dirty and was in urgent need of clean clothes to be changed. Du Xiaoxian was an honest girl. When she left, she didn’t take any good clothes with her. So he also wanted to buy some beautiful clothes for his little girl. Normally, he and Du Xiaoxian would wear a few fixed brands of clothes. When the season changed, the brand manager would bring a picture album to let them choose. There were very few opportunities for them to buy clothes at a department store. Therefore, President Gu spent his money very happily now.

This was the first time Du Xiaoxian had been shopping with Gu Nianbin like this. She was extremely excited too. Especially when they came to the men’s wearing section. Gu Nianbin had a good figure and it seemed every clothes looked good on him. Every time he changed clothes, Du Xiaoxian’s eyes lit up and she listened to the praises of the shopping guide staff. The little girl looked very proud. He was her man! Because of the brilliance in her eyes, President Gu was encouraged and bought a bunch of clothes he liked or disliked. When they left, Du Xiaoxian happily took the lead to carry the bag. Gu Nianbin looked at her cheerful appearance and just let her be. His eyes were full of pampering as he followed behind her.

Du Xiaoxian’s excitement still hadn’t passed when they arrived at the women’s wearing section. Gu Nianbin picked out some clothes for her and she ran to the fitting room to change. The shopping guide staff saw that these two were rich guests and recommended them a lot of clothes nicely. Du Xiaoxian tried on a dozen or so of them in one go. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Her aesthetic ability was limited. As long as she wore new clothes, she would find them beautiful. And President Gu was a boss who pampered his little girl with no principles. As long as she liked, then what else would he say? He’d just buy them all for her!

Du Xiaoxian changed her clothes happily, the shopping guide staff packed her clothes happily, and President Gu sat on the sofa with a joyful expression too. The final result was that everyone was happy. Du Xiaoxian had a simple mind. Until when they were about to leave, and the shopping guide staff piled up several bags at their feet, the little girl realized that there were too many clothes. She asked Gu Nianbin, “Are we going to buy so many?”

Gu Nianbin said casually, “We’ll buy them as long as you like.”

“We’ll only stay for two days. Aren’t these too many?”

“We can bring them home.”

“But we still have a lot of clothes at home. What about let’s buy less?” Du Xiaoxian suggested softly.

Gu Nianbin squinted at her and said, “I already paid the bill. It’s late to talk about it now. You liked them all when you tried, but now you’re saying that they’re too many.”

The shopping guide staff who were standing at the side to see them off all looked at Du Xiaoxian with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Their eyes turned green. It was already the god’s blessing to have such an outstanding man like Gu Nianbin, and the man even doted on her so much! They really wondered what kind of good deed this skinny little girl had done in her previous life, so that she was able to have such a good fortune!

After buying the clothes, Gu Nianbin took Du Xiaoxian to the other sections to buy five scarves of all kinds. He liked a dark blue cotton scarf. The fabric was very comfortable, and when it was spread out, it could become a shawl. It was wrapped around Du Xiaoxian’s shoulders, making her face look white and smooth, as if she was glowing with light.

After they got out of the department store, it’s time for dinner. Gu Nianbin took Du Xiaoxian to eat the famous crispy purple duck in S City. This kind of purple duck came from the Purple Mountain not far from S City. The ducks drank spring water all year round and ate the silver fish in the stream water. Their entire bodies were covered with snow-white fur, but the flesh was purple. The skin was not as thick as an ordinary duck’s. The thin layer of duck skin was crisp and delicious, so it was called the crispy purple duck. Because this kind of purple duck grows slowly, the demand exceeds supply, and it’s very rare on the market, the price is frighteningly expensive. Sometimes it’s not available even one wants to offer more money. The guests must reserve in advance. Gu Nianbin had already ordered his subordinate to book a table in the morning, so he was able to bring the little girl to taste the good food at night.

In Du Xiaoxian’s eyes, there was never a dish that was not delicious. Every dish was pleasantly tasty, which even made the crispy purple duck not that amazing. Gu Nianbin saw that her mouth was full of grease and she was so happy, he just found it funny. He didn’t have too much himself and fed his little girl from time to time. He then introduced the origin of the crispy purple duck to her. Du Xiaoxian’s eyes lit up after she heard this. She thought for a moment and said, “Since I’m quite idle, why don’t I buy a brood of purple ducklings to feed? Even if I won’t sell them for money, I could keep them for myself as food ingredients.”

Gu Nianbin laughed loudly and pinched the little girl’s face. He said, “You’re dreaming.”

“Why not?” Du Xiaoxian took it for granted and said very confidently, “I’m very good at raising chicks and ducks. I promise that I won’t dirty the house if I raise them on the balcony.”

Gu Nianbin said smilingly, “The crispy purple duck is a specialty of Purple Mountain. It is not found anywhere else. That is why it is so precious. Do you think that anyone can raise them if they want to?”

Du Xiaoxian said somewhat melancholy, “Then there’s nothing I can do.”

“You really want to raise them?” Gu Nianbin asked. “Raising ducks is no way. I can consider it if you want to raise a dog.”

“Really?” Du Xiaoxian cried out happily. When she was a child, she had a dog called Little Hei, which accompanied her for two years. Unfortunately, she lost it afterwards. She was very sad and depressed for a long time. Until now, when she remembered that she would still sigh endlessly. She liked small animals and staying with them would make her feel very free and happy. If Gu Nianbin was really willing to let her have a dog, that would be great.

“As long as you like it.” Gu Nianbin actually didn’t like dogs. He thought they were dirty. But as long as Du Xiaoxian liked them, he would allow her to keep one. “After we get back to City G, I’ll take you to the pet market to pick one. But you’ll be responsible for feeding it. I won’t help.”

“No problem.” Du Xiaoxian was so happy that her greasy mouth moved closer and she wanted to kiss him to express her gratitude. Gu Nianbin dodged in disgust, causing the little girl to laugh loudly. Her happy laughter echoed in the room, and to Gu Nianbin it was a happy musical note!
