Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Call Me Hubby

Sitting in the car, Gu Nianbin was still scolding Du Xiaoxian, “What do you think you have to talk to her about? You are not her match.”

“I hadn’t quarreled with her.” said the little girl softly. “I had reasoned with her.”

“Reasoning with her?” Gu Nianbin found it funny, “If she could be defeated through reasoning, she wouldn’t be messing around.” He asked after a pause. “How did you reason with her?”

Du Xiaoxian was dumbfounded. She thought about it carefully. Originally, she wanted to reason with Xia Xiaowan. But Xia Xiaowan was too aggressive. All she wanted to say was not spoken out. She only repeated one sentence. That was, as long as Gu Nianbin didn’t drive her away, she wouldn’t leave him. Regardless of what Xia Xiaowan said, this was all she had to say. In the end, this was all that worked. Xia Xiaowan thus got so angry that she couldn’t say anything for a long time.

Seeing her getting silent, Gu Nianbin asked, “Did she scold you?”

“No.”

“Did she say something unpleasant?”

“No.”

“Then what did she say?”

Du Xiaoxian remained silent for a moment and said, “She showed me some photos.”

“What photos?”

“They showed the day you were drunk. You two… slept together…” Du Xiaoxian’s voice turned even softer.

Gu Nianbin’s foot stamped down on the brake to stop the car, and his face was full of shock. “Did she take photos?”

He stopped the car so suddenly that the car behind almost hit his car. It seemed that the driver of the car saw there was a luxury car in front of him, so he didn’t get down to cause trouble with Gu Nianbin, only honking his horn to show his anger.

Du Xiaoxian felt that she caused an accident and hurriedly said, “Start the car. Otherwise, the road will be blocked.”

Gu Nianbin stopped at the side of the road with a sullen face. “How many photos did she take?”

“I, I didn’t count them.” Du Xiaoxian told him honestly. “Actually, I don’t see much of them either.”

“What did she say?”

“She asked what I thought after seeing the photos.”

“How did you answer her?”

“I said I believed in you, and I would believe in you forever.”

As the spring breeze brushed his face, President Gu’s dark face instantly became brilliant. He turned his head and looked deeply at his little girl. What she said was very good.

Du Xiaoxian was embarrassed by him looking at her and reached out to push him, “Ah, let’s go!”

Seeing her shy gaze and gentle tone, Gu Nianbin felt warm in his heart and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head and kissed her.

Before Du Xiaoxian could struggle, someone knocked on the car window. Gu Nianbin seemed to not hear it and continued his kissing. Du Xiaoxian was extremely embarrassed. Although the car window was covered with an opaque film, she was still worried. Helplessly, she reached out and gently pinched Gu Nianbin’s waist. Gu Nianbin was not on guard for a moment. He laughed and finally let go of her.

He carelessly rolled down the car window and saw a traffic policeman standing outside. He looked at him seriously. “Please show me your driver’s license.”

Gu Nianbin did not say anything. He took out his driver’s license and handed it to him. The traffic policeman opened it and looked at it carefully. Then he glanced at Du Xiaoxian and his voice softened. “You can’t stop your car here for long. Please leave immediately.”

Gu Nianbin took the driver’s license, nodded, and drove the car onto the main road.

Seeing the traffic policeman walking away from the right view mirror, Du Xiaoxian complained, “Look, you almost made a mistake, didn’t you?”

Gu Nianbin objected. “What’s there to be afraid of? At worst, we are fined one or two hundred yuan for illegal parking. He also disturbed us!”

Du Xiaoxian felt that he was talking nonsense and snorted, ignoring him.

Gu Nianbin laughed. When did the little girl dare to snort before him? After being separated for a few days, her temper had gotten worse! But he liked it!

When they got home, Gu Nianbin went straight to the cloakroom to pack his bag. “Are you going on a trip?” Du Xiaoxian asked.

“It’s not me but us.” Gu Nianbin stuffed his clothes into his bag. “Take whatever you want and put them on the bed. I’ll tidy them up.”

Du Xiaoxian suddenly understood. She was very excited. Afraid that she may guess wrongly, she cautiously asked, “Where are we going?”

“Surely the seaside. We agreed this last time!”

“How long?”

“Stay as long as you want.” Gu Nianbin said, hugging and kissing her. “If you like there, we won’t go back.”

“Liar!” Du Xiaoxian was innocent but not stupid. She certainly knew that he was joking.

“If you like, I’ll buy a seaside villa there and go on vacation every year, okay?”

“Good.” Du Xiaoxian picked up her clothes happily and suddenly frowned. “There are some clothes left in Brother Ah Yue’s house. I have to get them back.”

As soon as Du Huayue was mentioned, Gu Nianbin turned unhappy. It wasn’t that he didn’t mind not mentioning this. He just got the little girl back and didn’t want to get even with him quickly.

“Forget it.” he said sullenly. “None of those clothes are good. Just leave them there.”

“How can I abandon them?” Du Xiaoxian said. “They are all new.”

“I’ll buy new clothes for you later.”

“No,” said Du Xiaoxian, “I’m going to take them back.”

Hearing this tone, Gu Nianbin felt a headache. When Du Xiaoxian said that she wanted to take them back, she would never change her mind. But he really didn’t want her to see Du Huayue again. Du Huayue dared to live with her. Gu Nianbin was really angry about this! However, no matter how angry he was, he could only endure this at the moment.

“Alright, you go and retrieve them. But you can’t do it today. We’re in a hurry. Let’s talk about it later.”

Seeing that he didn’t object, Du Xiaoxian happily tidied up her bag.

Gu Nianbin glanced at the clothes Du Xiaoxian threw on the bed and shook his head. “Forget it, don’t take them. Let’s go to the seaside with a few long-sleeve clothes. We don’t need the thick ones. We can buy them there if we need anything.”

Du Xiaoxian thought so. She came in autumn and had no summer clothes, so she said, “Then there’s no need to take two bags. Put the clothes in one bag. That saves troubles.”

“We still need to take two bags. I will buy some clothes for you when we get there. One bag is not enough.”

Knowing that Gu Nianbin had experience, Du Xiaoxian didn’t object. She put the thick clothes back one by one.

After packing their clothes, Gu Nianbin took a backpack. He grabbed two handfuls of sweets, chocolates, and stuff from a snack bar and stuffed them in the backpack. “We have to eat late today,” he said. “If you’re hungry, take these first.”

Du Xiaoxian didn’t know how long it would take to get to the seaside, so she nodded when she heard what he said.

At the moment, Little Ding and Zhou Ting also arrived. Zhou Ting gave Gu Nianbin the tickets and the new phone card and said, “Boss, I have booked a hotel room for you in Red Maple Bay. The hotel will arrange someone to pick you up at the airport.”

Gu Nianbin said, “Well, thank you. Don’t call me if there’s nothing serious. Just give Mr. Shao my new cell phone number.”

“I know.” Zhou Ting and Little Ding each brought a bag downstairs.

Although Du Xiaoxian was very excited, she had been trying her best to keep calm. However, when she arrived at the airport, she couldn’t stand it anymore. The airport was bustled with people. It was lively and noisy. There were also so many electronic display screens and so many lights that shone everywhere. It was a very novel place for her.

Gu Nianbin only asked Little Ding to see them off at the airport entrance, so they had to check in their bags themselves. He took the two bags and walked forward. Du Xiaoxian carried the backpack and followed him with her land holding the lower part of his clothes. She looked around like a curious child on her first trip. Gu Nianbin looked back at her from time to time. His gaze was gentle and doting and his appearance was pretty. Seeing them, others showed expressions of jealousy and envy.

When they queued up to check in their bags, a group of foreigners was talking to each other. They spoke a language that she did not understand, but it was not like English. Their voices were deep and attractive and sounded very pleasant. She did not dare to look at them, but she listened with interest.

“They’re talking in German,” Gu Nianbin whispered.

Du Xiaoxian looked at him in surprise. “Do you also know German?”

“Of course.” Gu Nianbin said in a rarely cocky manner, “Your husband knows six languages.”

“Ah, you!” Du Xiaoxian was so embarrassed that her face was flushed red. She wanted to cover his mouth, but he took the advantage of her action to kiss the palm of her hand.

“It’s too late to deny it now,” Gu Nianbin blinked at her and waved her hand. “Look, the ring is on it.”

Du Xiaoxian said, “You put it on my finger yourself before I could say yes.”

Gu Nianbin raised his eyebrows. “Does that count as your permission?”

Du Xiaoxian seemed to be embarrassed, and her face flushed red. She replied very gently and quickly, “Yes.”

Gu Nianbin found it interesting. He held her neck and was about to kiss her. Du Xiaoxian would surely not allow such a thing. There was a group of foreigners beside them. She hurriedly turned her head away, only to see a couple kissing each other affectionately in that group. She was so close to them that she could even hear the sound of their breathing. She let out a low shout and hurriedly turned her head back. But Gu Nianbin took the advantage to kiss her. Although it was only a light touch, it made her exclaim again.

Gu Nianbin thought it wasn’t funny enough. He hugged her waist tightly and whispered by her ear, “Since it counts, why don’t you call me your hubby?”

“No.” Du Xiaoxian pushed him gently. The more she pushed him, the tighter he hugged her.

“Are you going to call me that?” Gu Nianbin lowered his head. Du Xiaoxian’s forehead was covered in sweat. With so many people around, how could he not feel embarrassed?

Since she felt embarrassed, her voice was low and soft. “Hubby.”

“Yes.” Gu Nianbin’s heart was full of joy, and his face wasn’t too arrogant. He answered seriously and finally let go of her.

After boarding the plane, Gu Nianbin let Du Xiaoxian sit by the window and asked worriedly, “Do you have airsickness?”

Du Xiaoxian didn’t know. She thought for a moment and said, “I got carsick before.”

“Then eat something first.” Gu Nianbin took out a piece of chocolate from the backpack and gave it to her. “It will make you feel better.”

Du Xiaoxian didn’t know anything. She just did whatever Gu Nianbin said. She was afraid that she would be disappointing and embarrass Gu Nianbin in front of so many people. She gritted her teeth and ate another half.

After taking the chocolate, Gu Nianbin gave her another bottle of gum and said that it would be better to chew two pieces of gum when the plane took off.

Du Xiaoxian responded and obediently held the bottle in her hand. She was very nervous and unconsciously leaned towards Gu Nianbin.

Gu Nianbin reached out and hugged her, “With your hubby aside, what are you afraid of?”

Du Xiaoxian ignored his teasing and tightly grabbed his hand. The plane had already taken off. The rumbling sound made her uneasy. She was in the sky. She never dreamed that one day she would be able to board a plane. It was not because she was afraid, but because she was nervous. After all, she was in the sky, flying higher than birds.

“Look out the window.” Gu Nianbin told her.

The noise was much quieter. It was not as bumpy as she had imagined. Du Xiaoxian leaned against Gu Nianbin’s embrace and turned her head to look out of the window. How beautiful. She turned around and leaned against the window. The plane was still climbing. She could clearly see the dense lights below. It was as if the stars in the Milky Way had fallen to the mortal world. They were shining brilliantly and incomparably dazzling.

Du Xiaoxian greedily watched until the lights were slowly covered by the clouds. She heaved a deep sigh of relief. The sky was not as dark as she had imagined. She could even see the clouds slowly floating away. Some of them looked grey-white when they were illuminated by the lights on the plane. They were just outside the window, and she could almost touch it with her hands.

Du Xiaoxian put her whole face against the window. Gu Nianbin pulled her back and pulled down the curtains. He gave her the food that the flight attendant had just sent to them. “If you’re hungry, you can eat this. It’s still early for having a meal.”

Du Xiaoxian was pleasantly surprised. “The flight offers us food?”

“Don’t make a fuss.” Gu Nianbin said. “Flights always offer food to passengers.”

Du Xiaoxian glanced sideways at him. “This is the first time I’ve been on a flight. What’s the big deal?”

Gu Nianbin liked his little girl arguing with him. This could be considered as her progress. He smiled and touched her head as if patting a kitten. “Eat it. If it’s not enough, you can take mine.”
