Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Master Killer
This was the first time that Gu Nianbin got up first while Du Xiaoxian was still lying on the bed. When the man had finished washing up and went back to his room to change his clothes, the little girl opened her sleepy eyes and looked at him.

“Did I wake you?” Gu Nianbin said.

Du Xiaoxian shook her head and slowly sat up.

“There’s nothing to do. You can sleep a little longer. I’ll come back to pick you up for lunch at noon.” Gu Nianbin walked over and kissed her hair. “Good girl, sleep a little longer.”

However, Du Xiaoxian reached out and hugged his waist, rubbing her head against his embrace like a kitten. Gu Nianbin could only sit down and carry her to his lap. “Last night you said your waist was sore and back was in pain. Why don’t you sleep a little longer now?”

Du Xiaoxian raised her head and glanced at him with a hint of shy anger and embarrassment. She said softly, “I said that, but you still… you still did that…”

“I did what?” Gu Nianbin deliberately teased her.

Du Xiaoxian was so embarrassed that she buried her head in his embrace again. After a while, she said with a muffled voice, “Will you get angry?”

Gu Nianbin was puzzled and said, “Well, why will I get angry? What’s wrong?”

Du Xiaoxian insisted, “Promise not to get angry first.”

“Alright, I won’t get angry. Tell me, what is it?”

Du Xiaoxian hesitated for a moment, then, as if she had made up her mind. She lowered her head and whispered, “Can I see Cheng Mingchi?”

Sure enough, it was a very irritating thing. She thought of another man early in the morning, so it was difficult for President Gu not to be angry.

“What do you want to see him for?” Gu Nianbin asked patiently.

“I, I don’t think he’ll be okay,” Du Xiaoxian said. “Mr. Ling can’t force him to stay. At least, there has to be a solution.”

“You want me to tell Ling Yun to let him go?”

“I can tell Mr. Ling myself.” Du Xiaoxian could hear the displeasure in the man’s voice and mumbled, “Mr. Ling is not an unreasonable person.”

“So you mean that, I’m an unreasonable person?” Gu Nianbin was on the verge of losing his temper.

“No, no,” Du Xiaoxian was very sensitive to Gu Nianbin’s reaction. She quickly got off him and retreated to the bedside. Her voice trembled, but she didn’t have the slightest intention of changing her mind, “I think if I go to Mr. Ling, he won’t make things difficult for me. Furthermore, I know that you don’t like Cheng Mingchi. If I ask you to do that, you won’t feel happy in your heart. You’re… You’re also very busy…”

“Alright, you can go if you want.” Gu Nianbin was angry and he didn’t want to continue the conversation.

Du Xiaoxian bit her lips and looked at him timidly with her big dark eyes. “You said you weren’t angry.”

Gu Nianbin heaved a sigh and said slowly, “I’m not angry. If you want to go, get up quickly. I’ll send you there.”

“Are you really not angry?” Du Xiaoxian carefully observed him.

“No, hurry up. I still have a meeting this morning.”

“Why don’t you give me the address and I’ll take a taxi?”

Gu Nianbin widened his eyes to look at her. The little girl immediately jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom with her slippers.

Gu Nianbin looked at her back and helplessly shook his head. Everyone thought that Du Xiaoxian was obedient to him, but the one who was really obedient was him!

After he finished cooking breakfast, Du Xiaoxian had finished washing herself up and walked over refreshingly. She took the milk that Gu Nianbin handed her and drank half a glass in one breath.

Du Xiaoxian tied up her hair by herself today. She tied a braided tail on the back of her head. Because it was difficult to do it with her hands behind her back, the braided tail was a little crooked. Normally, Gu Nianbin would untie and comb it again. But today, he pretended not to see it. He silently finished his breakfast and then went out with Du Xiaoxian.

He first sent Du Xiaoxian to Ling Yun’s villa. He called him on the way, but Ling Yun still hadn’t gotten up. He asked in a daze, “Who is coming?”

Upon hearing Du Xiaoxian’s name, Ling Yun instantly woke up and said to Gu Nianbin with annoyance, “If you need anything, just tell me. Why did you let her come?”

Ling Yun liked mature, intelligent and tactful women. He rarely interacted with little girls. He always felt that they were too young and would cry whenever he offended them. He was not good at coaxing people. Especially that Du Xiaoxian was a pitiful type. She was Gu Nianbin’s precious treasure. If he made her cry, could Gu Nianbin spare him? He heard that even Shen Li had been beaten up by him. Ling Yun sat up and said to the phone, “Don’t let her come. I’ll find you if there’s anything you need.”

Gu Nianbin said, “We’re almost there. Have someone come out to pick her up. Tell your people to be polite. Don’t scare her!”

See? Before the girl even arrived, he had been warned by her protector. But since she was arriving, he knew that nothing could be helped. Ling Yun jumped out of bed and shouted, “Ah Hua, Ah Sheng! Ah Hua, Ah Sheng!”

Ah Hua and Ah Sheng were the two capable subordinates under him. Last night, they played mahjong all night. Not long after they fell asleep, they were scared to jump out of bed by Ling Yun’s roaring. They both ran into the living room and looked upstairs at Ling Yun and asked, “Boss, what’s the matter?”

“Quick, get the house cleaned up. Tell other brothers to put on their clothes neatly. Don’t show your arms or backs on such a cold day.”

Ah Hua asked, “Boss, is there some kind of a big shot coming?”

Ling Yun chuckled, “Yes, a big shot. The two of you hurry to the door to welcome the guest. I’ll change my clothes and come soon.”

Ah Hua and Ah Sheng took the order. Just as they were about to leave, Ling Yun stopped them and said, “Is Ah Chi awake? Wake him up if he’s not.”

Ah Sheng said, “I’ll get someone to wake him up.”

Ling Yun rushed to the bathroom and washed his face randomly. He then changed his clothes quickly. When he ran out, he saw Ah Hua standing by the iron gate. Ah Sheng was opening the car door, and Du Xiaoxian got out of the car. Ling Yun hurriedly trotted over and greeted her smilingly, “Sister-in-law.” Then he bowed down to greet Gu Nianbin. Gu Nianbin was expressionless and didn’t even have the intention to come out. He nodded slightly and said, “I’ll leave her to you. I’ll pick her up later.”

Just as Ling Yun said “yes,” the car drove away in a flash.

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment and then quickly turned around to invite Du Xiaoxian in attentively.

Ah Hua and Ah Sheng also had inexplicable expressions on their faces. It turned out that the big shot who was coming was this Miss Du. They were no strangers to Du Xiaoxian. They knew that she was the protagonist of the dancing party matter and that she was Gu Nianbin’s girlfriend.

Since she was the big shot, they couldn’t neglect her. The three of them politely invited Du Xiaoxian in. This was the first time the little girl had faced such courtesy. She looked somewhat nervous and timidly said, “Mr. Ling, I, I am here to find Cheng Mingchi. He is my classmate.”

“I know.” Ling Yun smiled and let Du Xiaoxian sit down at the small table beside the corridor. He then asked his people to bring over a pile of snacks and stack them on the table. He told Du Xiaoxian to eat as much as she wanted and just suit herself.

When Du Xiaoxian saw that there were people everywhere, and all of them were men, she was a little scared. She stared at her toes and said softly, “I’m not here to eat. I’m here to see Cheng Mingchi.”

Ling Yun noticed Du Xiaoxian’s discomfort. He waved his hand and told everyone to leave, saying, “Don’t be nervous. Drink some water first. Cheng Mingchi will arrive soon.”

Ling Yun told the little girl not to be nervous. Actually, he was also very nervous in his heart like there was a tense string there. Boss Ling had zero experience dealing with the little girl and was inexplicably nervous. He tried hard to start some topics and chatted with Du Xiaoxian. Du Xiaoxian only listened quietly and did not answer. It was not that she did not know how to be polite. She really did not know how to answer. She was not someone who could chat!

Ling Yun talked to himself for a long time and felt it was a little boring, so he stopped. The two of them were even more embarrassed to sit there silently. Ling Yun scratched his head and was uneasy. Thank god, then, Cheng Mingchi arrived.

When Cheng Mingchi saw Du Xiaoxian, he was shocked. He rushed over and shouted to Ling Yun, “It’s between you and me, why are you dragging her into this?”

In Cheng Mingchi’s mind, there was no good person in the underworld. It must be that Ling Yun didn’t know how to make him give up, so he threatened him with Du Xiaoxian.

Ling Yun felt that there must be something he had done wrong today. Why were they all so strange?

Du Xiaoxian was afraid that Cheng Mingchi would offend Ling Yun, so she hurriedly pressed Cheng Mingchi to sit down and said, “Don’t shout, I came by myself. It has nothing to do with Mr. Ling.”

Cheng Mingchi was anxious and said, “What are you doing here? Why did you come to such a place?”

“I came to see you. Didn’t you say you were leaving G City? Why didn’t you leave?”

Cheng Mingchi angrily glanced at Ling Yun and didn’t say anything.

Du Xiaoxian said to Ling Yun, “Mr. Ling, can I talk to him alone for a sec?”

“Of course,” Ling Yun chuckled, “no problem.” Now he understood why Gu Nianbin looked unhappy. Who would be happy if Du Xiaoxian came to see the male protagonist of the dancing party matter? However, he wondered why Gu Nianbin agreed to let Du Xiaoxian come. Couldn’t he just not let her come?

When Ling Yun walked away, Du Xiaoxian looked up and down at Cheng Mingchi. “Did they hit you? Yesterday, I heard someone on the phone say that they didn’t hit someone seriously.”

“It’s fine.” Cheng Mingchi lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Du Xiaoxian. Compared with Du Xiaoxian’s kindness, Cheng Mingchi felt that he should go to hell.

“I heard that Mr. Ling trapped you here because he wanted you to work for him?”

Cheng Mingchi nodded. “They’re not good people. I won’t do anything for them.”

Du Xiaoxian did not know who Ling Yun was, but she had a good impression of Ling Yun. The first time she left, it was Ling Yun’s people who found her, so she could continue her relationship with Gu Nianbin. Otherwise, how could they have such happy times later? Du Xiaoxian had always been very grateful to Ling Yun in her heart.

“Mr. Ling is not a bad person. Really, he is very enthusiastic and reasonable. If you don’t want to be here, tell him properly and he will let you go,” the little girl said naively.

Cheng Mingchi didn’t know how to explain it to her. Knowing that she didn’t understand the evilness of society, he simply remained silent.

“Are you really not going to study anymore?” Du Xiaoxian said regretfully, “It’s such a pity. Your grades are very excellent.”

Cheng Mingchi didn’t want to say anything apologetic anymore, so as not to remind Du Xiaoxian of that unbearable scene. However, he knew that he owed Du Xiaoxian a lot, and he might not be able to pay her off in this lifetime.

“Don’t worry, if you want to leave, I’ll talk to Mr. Ling. He is really a reasonable person and won’t force you to stay.”

Cheng Mingchi smiled bitterly. If he was truly reasonable, he wouldn’t torture him every day.

Du Xiaoxian turned around to look for Ling Yun. Ah Hua stood not far away. Seeing this, he hurriedly walked over and asked, “Miss Du, what do you want?”

“I’m looking for Mr. Ling.”

Ah Hua raised his head and saw Ling Yun standing on the balcony on the second floor. He called out, “Boss, Miss Du is looking for you.”

Ling Yun only hoped Du Xiaoxian would leave early. It was clearly at his own place, but it made him a little restless. Hearing this, he thought that Du Xiaoxian was leaving and immediately ran down.

As a result, Du Xiaoxian timidly smiled at him, like a small mimosa, slender and timid, as if she would really shrink herself if anyone lightly touched her.

“Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?” Seeing Du Xiaoxian sitting there motionlessly, Ling Yun could only sit down as well.

Although Du Xiaoxian was a little embarrassed, she didn’t know how to beat around the bush. “Mr. Ling, Cheng Mingchi said that you kept him here and didn’t let him go, was that true?”

Ling Yun hurriedly waved his hand, “No, no, I’ve sincerely invited Cheng Mingchi to have a good time here for a few days.”

“Look, I told you that Mr. Ling was not an unreasonable person.” Du Xiaoxian smiled and said to Cheng Mingchi, “You don’t believe me. Mr. Ling is kind-hearted. He likes you, so he wants to keep you here for a few days.”

“Yes, yes, that’s right,” Ling Yun said. “I felt that I had a lot in common with Student Cheng, so I kept him stay here for a while.”

Du Xiaoxian meant what she said genuinely and sincerely. Ling Yun was just saying those words and didn’t really mean what he said. However, the two of them asked and answered naturally, and the conversation was actually going quite well. Du Xiaoxian did not hear out Ling Yun’s other meaning. Ling Yun felt that Du Xiaoxian was pretending to be polite and was actually a master killer. They all said that the little girl was simple-minded. But why did she praise him on purpose now?

Du Xiaoxian continued, “Mr. Ling, Cheng Mingchi has stayed here for a few days and he feels that he’s troubled you too much. If he wants to go back, you can let him go back.”

The little girl spoke so straightforwardly. Ling Yun didn’t know how to answer her question. He really wanted to keep Cheng Mingchi stay and wouldn’t mind forcing him. He’d like to see which one of them two was more stubborn. Now he was suddenly asked to let him go, Ling Yun was truly a little unwilling. If Gu Nianbin had asked him for that, he would have refused. Because he had helped him so much. At least he could keep a person he wanted, right? However, now that he was facing Du Xiaoxian, it was difficult for him to refuse.

Cheng Mingchi was afraid that if Du Xiaoxian said more, Ling Yun would get angry, so he said, “Forget it, Xiaoxian, don’t worry about this. You can go back first.”

Du Xiaoxian would not leave until the matter was settled. She looked at Cheng Mingchi, then looked at Ling Yun and said, “Mr. Ling, why do you want to keep Cheng Mingchi here? He can’t help you, and he even needs to consume your food. Isn’t it a big loss? Mr. Ling, you’re a reasonable person, right?”

The little girl looked at him seriously with her big dark eyes. It seemed if he said no, she would immediately show disappointment. In front of such a pure gaze, Ling Yun seemed to have no other choice but to nod.

“So you will let Cheng Mingchi go, right?”

Du Xiaoxian’s little face was full of trust in him, but Ling Yun wanted to curse loudly. He would rather go out and fight than sit with Du Xiaoxian and talk about these things.

In the end, he nodded and said to Cheng Mingchi, “If you really want to leave, then leave. I won’t force you.”

Cheng Mingchi still couldn’t believe that with just a few words from Du Xiaoxian, Ling Yun was really willing to let him go?

Ling Yun patted his shoulder rudely and said, “Go, just leave. If you want to go, hurry up and leave. I won’t keep you anymore.”

Cheng Mingchi quickly stood up and said to Du Xiaoxian, “Let’s go.”

Ling Yun snorted, “Heh. Don’t worry, since I’ve agreed, I won’t go back on my words. Miss Du is my guest, and I won’t make things difficult for her. You can pack up before leaving,” Ling Yun said.

Du Xiaoxian also stood up and said to Ling Yun with a faint smile, “I knew that Mr. Ling was a reasonable person!”

Screw that reasonable person! Ling Yun fiercely despised himself in his heart. He was always an arrogant person who had solved all sorts of difficulties, but now he had actually been dealt with by a little girl!
