Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 215

Chapter 215 It’s Good that You’re Back

After enjoying a sexual feast, the man went to prepare lunch for his little girl with satisfaction. Du Xiaoxian became thinner. At the exhibition, he only saw her emaciated cheeks. But when he entered the bedroom and touched her thin shoulder blades, he was really sad and distressed. Originally, he wanted to do her hard so that she could learn a lesson. But in the end, he was not hardhearted enough to do so.

However, the feast lasted for quite a while. When Gu Nianbin left the bedroom, it was already past lunchtime. Fortunately, he was used to cooking food and skilled at it. For fear of his little girl starving, he didn’t cook much so as to save time. In less than an hour, four dishes and one soup plus hot white rice were served.

Seeing that Du Xiaoxian didn’t come out, Gu Nianbin went in to call her. When he entered the bedroom, Du Xiaoxian curled up and slept soundly. The flush on her face hadn’t gone away. There were hickeys everywhere on her neck and shoulders. Gu Nianbin bent over and kissed her affectionately. “Hey, sweetheart, wake up. It’s time for having a meal.”

Du Xiaoxian’s eyes were closed like a lazy kitten. She said vaguely, “I want to sleep.”

“Have a meal first, and then sleep again, okay?” He coaxed her warmly, “Good girl, I have made your favorite scrambled eggs with tomato and mushroom and sliced meat soup. Would you like to get up and enjoy them?”

Du Xiaoxian was a little hungry. But she was really tired. It was as if she had been ripped apart. She did not have any strength. She half-opened her eyes and muttered, “What else?”

Gu Nianbin laughed as he dragged her out of the quilt and let her lean against the bed. “There are also roast chicken legs, black pepper steak, and steamed fish. Is that enough?”

The little girl’s eyes immediately lit up. She lifted the quilt and was about to jump off the bed. However, she did it so suddenly that she felt a little dizzy. Her body swayed and was about to fall. Gu Nianbin quickly hugged her and said, “What’s wrong? Do you want to eat on the bed?”

Looking at the snow-white bedsheets and quilt, Du Xiaoxian shook her head decisively. Those things could be difficult to wash when getting dirty!

Gu Nianbin took advantage of her turning her head and picked her up. He strode out. Du Xiaoxian shouted, “What are you doing? Put me down.”

Gu Nianbin smiled and said, “You have to repay what you owed me.”

Du Xiaoxian asked, “What did I owe you?”

“Such as hugs, kisses, hand-holding, and…” He blinked his eyes with a flirtatious smile, “You know what I meant!”

This time, Du Xiaoxian really understood what he meant. She glanced at him with a red face and silently lowered her eyes. In this respect, she would never be a match for Gu Nianbin.

During the meal, Zhou Ting called him and asked if the regular meeting in the afternoon could be held as scheduled. Gu Nianbin said that the meeting could be chaired by Shao Boqing. Zhou Ting said that Shao Boqing was off in the afternoon. It seemed that he would accompany his wife for the maternity examination. Gu Nianbin pondered for a moment and said that the meeting could be postponed. Zhou Ting asked how long it would be postponed so that she could issue a postponement notice. Gu Nianbin glanced at Du Xiaoxian and suddenly smiled. He said that he did not know, but he would return to the company no matter how late he was.

Zhou Ting hung up the phone and was somewhat puzzled. The boss’s voice was obviously abnormal, quite abnormal!

It was like… she racked her brains and finally came up with an appropriate metaphor. It was like what he had just experienced made him extremely satisfied. Because of this, he was in a good mood, and his usually cold and indifferent voice was pleasant and attractive.

Since the boss had given the order, Secretary Zhou diligently conveyed the instruction to the heads of the departments. Someone asked how long the meeting would be postponed. Zhou Ting only replied, “To be determined!”

Recently, Gu Nianbin’s face had been dark all day. So the whole Gu Group kept silent. Although it was the last working afternoon in the week, no one dared to slack off. They all sat seriously in their offices, waiting for that “to be determined” to arrive.

Gu Nianbin originally didn’t want to return to the company but suddenly changed his mind. Today, he made a show at the exhibition of paintings. He knew it would soon cause a great sensation throughout the city. Moreover, it happened to be the weekend tomorrow. He decided to take Du Xiaoxian down south to enjoy the warm winter sun. He had already promised to take her to the seaside for a visit. It was the best time for him to go there with her at the moment.

After the meal, Gu Nianbin said, “Xian, go with me to the company later.”

Du Xiaoxian said, “I don’t want to go with you. I want to sleep.”

“You can sleep in the lobby there. It is quiet, and no one will disturb you.”

Du Xiaoxian didn’t want to go. She pouted. “Can’t I be at home?”

“No,” Gu Nianbin put the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen and said seriously, “you must go with me to the company.”

“Why?” Du Xiaoxian was a little confused. Normally, Gu Nianbin would not force her like this.

“Because,” Gu Nianbin took her hand and went to the bedroom to change clothes. “I’m afraid you will disappear again once I get back.”

Du Xiaoxian suddenly felt her heart pounding. She stared blankly at him and didn’t say anything. Gu Nianbin rarely revealed his weakness. It really made her feel uncomfortable. She took the initiative to lean against the man and whispered, “I really won’t leave this time.”

Gu Nianbin did not say anything. He tightened his hold and hugged her quietly for a while before saying, “Let’s go. I have a meeting in the afternoon.”

Du Xiaoxian nodded and obediently followed him to the company.

When Zhou Ting saw Du Xiaoxian, she was stunned with her mouth wide open. She rarely lost her composure like this. But she was truly happy, happier than when picking up the money. She gave Du Xiaoxian a big hug and whispered, “It’s good that you’re back.”

Gu Nianbin stood at the door and impatiently coughed. They just separated for a few days, but he felt this separation was a lifetime long. He felt endless suffering and heartache for it. Now that she was back, he would surely be reluctant to let the little girl leave his sight for a second.

Du Xiaoxian smiled embarrassedly at Zhou Ting and followed him to walk in.

Zhou Ting watched as the door slowly closed. She was so excited that she jumped up. No wonder the boss’s voice was abnormal. It turned out that Du Xiaoxian was back. As soon as the little girl came back, her boss’s mood turned good. At the very least, she didn’t have to face his dark face every day.

Before going to the meeting, Gu Nianbin arranged a room for Du Xiaoxian to sleep. He also ordered Zhou Ting to stay outside it to stop anyone coming in. Zhou Ting agreed. Even if Xia Xiaowan came this time, even if there was a fight between them, she would protect Du Xiaoxian.

Gu Nianbin came to a sudden stop at the door and turned around. “By the way, book two air tickets to Yawan for tonight for me. Reserve a hotel room with the best sea view there as well.”

Zhou Ting replied, “Do you want to book return tickets?”

“No, I will tell you about it later.”

“Alright, I’ll do it immediately.” As soon as Zhou Ting finished speaking, she thought something. “Boss, I don’t have Xiaoxian’s ID number.”

Gu Nianbin walked over and wrote down a line of numbers on a piece of white paper. “Keep this well and maybe you’ll need it later. By the way,” he thought for a moment and said, “Get me a new phone card.”

Zhou Ting nodded. Seeing Gu Nianbin stride away, she was delighted that her boss did not notice her bold speculation. He seemed to think that her speculation was a matter of course. She raised her eyebrows. Thinking of him leaving tonight, she was surprised at his impatience!

Thinking that no one came here at the moment, Zhou Ting sneaked in to look at Du Xiaoxian. The little girl was sleeping soundly. Perhaps because the temperature in the room was a little high, her face was rosy. Her skin was delicate and thin. Zhou Ting even could see her pale blue capillaries there clearly. Zhou Ting lowered the temperature a little, tucked Du Xiaoxian in, and walked out lightly.

Du Xiaoxian was indeed a miracle cure to the boss. Without her, the boss would be in a bad mood. The atmosphere of the president’s office was as cold as the South Pole. As soon as she returned, the boss’s face immediately lit up. Then he was in high spirits and treated them warmly. This difference was really not small!

Zhou Ting had nothing to do at the moment as she did not need to go to the meeting with her boss, and her work had basically come to an end this week. She started to watch the news on the Internet. As soon as she clicked open one piece of news, she was shocked with her mouth wide open again. She really doubted if she had seen wrongly. Was the one kneeling on his knee her boss? Was it really her boss who kissed in public? That was so emotional. He was handsome, had a good figure, and had the best educational and family background. Yet he was still so faithful in love! How is she supposed to live as a single girl? How could so many glass-hearted girls who viewed Gu Nianbin as their dream lover live in the future?

She wished she could pat the table and sing a song. But she didn’t dare to make it so loud. She wiped her watery eyes. Thinking of him, she was moved to tears.

What Zhou Ting had never expected the most was that Gu Nianbin would propose in public! This news was so sensational and explosive. What happened this morning had already spread through the Internet. Various comments about it came in an endless stream.

“Broken Heart…”

“Is this the legendary tall, rich, and handsome guy…”

“Why such a tall, rich and handsome guy was so affectionate? Why this affectionate man proposed with such a big diamond ring? Why did he use such a big diamond ring to propose to a Cinderella…”

“He was tall, stylish, rich, and handsome. Why didn’t he propose to me?”

“That girl was going to be so happy…”

“Such a big diamond ring. It blinded me. If someone proposed to me with such a big diamond ring, I would immediately accept him!”

However, there were also a few bad comments.

“What did he show off for? Wasn’t it just a big glass slag?”

“Did such a handsome guy still want to make headlines?”

“It was just a playboy’s habitual trick…”

When Zhou Ting was looking at the comments with great interest, someone pushed the door open and came in. She raised her eyelids and her smile froze. She minimized the window immediately and said, “Hello, Miss Xia.”

Because of their dispute last time, Xia Xiaowan didn’t even have a smile on her face when she walked in. “Is Brother Nianbin here?”

Zhou Ting didn’t mind that and took her as usual. “The boss is in a meeting. I can pass your message to him if you have something to do with him.”

“No need, I’ll just wait in his office.” Xia Xiaowan did not want to tangle too much with her and walked in directly.

Zhou Ting hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her. What worried her happened. Du Xiaoxian was in the office. How could she let Xia Xiaowan in? If the little girl was scared, the boss would probably blame her severely.

“Secretary Zhou, what do you mean?” Seeing Zhou Ting stopping her, Xia Xiaowan couldn’t help but frown. “Is this the way how a president’s secretary treats the guest?”

“I’m just following the boss’s instructions,” Zhou Ting showed neither inferiority nor superiority and said with a polite smile, “If you feel aggrieved, you can report me to the boss.” Actually, she was fearless. As long as she stood firmly with Du Xiaoxian, the boss would not blame her no matter what happened!

“Secretary Zhou, do you have any objections to me?” Xia Xiaowan looked at her suspiciously, “Last time, you said that Brother Nianbin didn’t want to see any guests, so you forcibly refused to let me in. This time, you play the same old trick. Don’t you want me to see Brother Nianbin?”

“Miss Xia, you’re oversensitive.” Zhou Ting still smiled. “I’m just following the boss’s orders.”

Xia Xiaowan looked at Zhou Ting, and her brows furrowed even more tightly. Last time, when Zhou Ting didn’t let her in, she deliberately made a fuss at the door. Such a big commotion must have been heard by Gu Nianbin inside, but he didn’t come out. He probably didn’t want to see her. So she had to leave. However, this was not the way to go on. Taking advantage of Du Xiaoxian’s absence, she had to quickly conquer Gu Nianbin. Delays might bring more unexpected changes. It was an opportunity that he was away today. She should wait for him in the office. She must see him.

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaowan suddenly pushed Zhou Ting aside and was about to open the door. Zhou Ting was shocked. Before she could stand firmly, she grabbed Xia Xiaowan’s clothes and said, “Miss Xia, if you do this, I’ll call the security guard.”

Xia Xiaowan forcefully freed herself from her grip. “I don’t care.” She wanted to go in. Would Gu Nianbin really ask someone to throw her out? Even if they quarreled, he would never do that to her.

When the two of them were entangled, the door slowly opened from inside.
