Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 221

Chapter 221 I Just Want to Give You Some Sunscreen Cream

Gu Nianbin bought a few bikinis for Du Xiaoxian. But the little girl refused to wear them. President Gu used all his skills to coax the little girl into wearing them in front of him in the room. After coaxing her for a long time, he finally persuaded her to stand on the balcony for a while. Actually, they lived in the top-grade presidential suite. Its space was ridiculously big and the floors were disorderly arranged. Even if they stood on the balcony, not many people would see them. Downstairs was a private beach and there weren’t many people. Most of them were foreigners. All girls wore the bikinis. They had bright smiles and were filled with youth and enthusiasm.

In his heart, Gu Nianbin didn’t want Du Xiaoxian to wear a bikini in front of others. But he also hoped that Du Xiaoxian could come into contact with something new, broaden her horizons, and show the youthfulness and vitality she had at her age just like those girls. At any time, he wanted her to grow up, walk out of her small circle, and gain more experience.

Since he took that step, he had already predicted the consequences. This time, they would encounter unprecedented difficulties when they returned. Therefore, he wanted his little girl to be brave and to fight bravely with him for their happiness.

Because they were going swimming, Du Xiaoxian wore a green one-piece swimsuit with a wide lotus-leave hem covering her buttocks. She had picked it herself. Although it appeared conservative, Gu Nianbin thought it looked good on her. It was like a petite lotus with a refreshing beauty. He took a large towel and wrapped her up before leaving. Du Xiaoxian refused and insisted on putting on her shorts and T-shirt before she went downstairs.

The little girl was very determined. President Gu couldn’t do anything about her. Fortunately, it wasn’t too much trouble for her to get dressed.

There was no one in the swimming pool downstairs. No one would come all the way here to relax in the swimming pool. They all went to the seaside.

Because the little girl had no swimming skills at all and the waves in the sea were strong, Gu Nianbin brought her to the pool. The sun was a little hot. Before going into the water, President Gu asked Du Xiaoxian to lie on the couch. He wanted to put some sunscreen on her. The little girl didn’t understand this. She just followed the order of the man and lay down. As soon as Gu Nianbin’s hand touched her, she jumped up in shock. She thought that he touched her like this in public…

The little girl had a deep understanding of President Gu in some respect. She always felt that he had some intentions. She pitifully crossed her arms and stood aside and her little face wrinkled. “You said we were here to swim.”

“Yes, we are here to swim.” Gu Nianbin found her words both funny and irritating, “What’s the big fuss? I’m afraid you’ll get a sunburn. So I just want to put some sunscreen on you.”

Du Xiaoxian looked at him suspiciously. “Won’t that thing be gone after I jump into the water?”

“Don’t you know that it is waterproof?” President Gu put on a pompous act and said, “Come here.”

“I won’t.” Seeing his appearance, Du Xiaoxian became even more convinced that he would do it with her. Because there was no one here, she felt it was very unsafe. Sometimes Gu Nianbin was a little wicked. So she had to be careful.

Gu Nianbin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn’t have the slightest bit of such a mood. How could the little girl guard against him like a wolf? (President Gu, you were an extremely powerful wolf in the little girl’s heart!)

“Will you come over or not?” President Gu narrowed his eyes and threatened her.

“I won’t.” Du Xiaoxian didn’t want him to succeed. She looked left and right, wanting to take advantage of an opportunity to escape.

Gu Nianbin snorted twice and slowly walked towards her.

This smile… It was clear that… The little girl got panicked but there was no way to escape. She jumped into the water in a hurry. Unfortunately, she jumped into the deep end of the pool. The area only had a depth of 1.8 meters. But it was a calamity for Du Xiaoxian who was petite and knew little about swimming.

As soon as she jumped into the water, she started to sink directly. Du Xiaoxian could not breathe at all. Only after opening her mouth and hurriedly swallowing two mouthfuls of water did she recover from the suffocation. However, the suffocation instantly struck her again. She could only open her mouth and swallow another mouthful. Then, she felt her body lightened and the sun shining on her. She breathed in smoothly and took two deep breaths before slowly opening her eyes.

Gu Nianbin looked at her playfully and laughed. “Are you stupid? If you can’t swim, don’t jump into the water.”

She hugged Gu Nianbin’s neck with one hand and rubbed her nose with the other. The moment she jumped down, the impact was very strong and the water poured into her nose, making her very uncomfortable.

Gu Nianbin said, “Stop rubbing. You’ll be all right in a moment.”

Du Xiaoxian snorted. “It’s all your fault.”

“Why do you blame me?” Gu Nianbin laughed and said, “It was you who wanted to jump into the water.”

“You chased after me. That’s why I jumped.”

“Am I that scary?” Gu Nianbin tilted his head and smiled faintly.

“You are always frivolous.” The little girl was both embarrassed and indignant.

Gu Nianbin laughed. “Upon my honor, I really just want to put some sunscreen on you. It is you who thought otherwise.”

Du Xiaoxian had just experienced a small accident and felt weak. She lay lazily on Gu Nianbin’s body and said, “You always do things on a whim.”

Gu Nianbin pinched her waist and smiled. “I just tried to put some sunscreen on you. Why did you make a fuss? What are you doing now? Are you trying to seduce me?”

Du Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment. She suddenly realized that her legs were on Gu Nianbin’s waist and her hands were hugging his neck. This posture was indeed a little… She hurriedly released her legs to get down.

Gu Nianbin said, “If you really want to come down, I will let you go.” As soon as he loosened his grip, Du Xiaoxian slid down. Her feet were in the water and she couldn’t find solid ground. She was so scared that she quickly reached out to grab Gu Nianbin’s shoulder, getting embarrassed and angry. “Take me out of here.”

Gu Nianbin didn’t listen to her. He said seriously, “Aren’t you going to learn to swim? How can you learn to swim when you’re not in the water?”

This was Du Xiaoxian’s first time in the pool. She didn’t know that the pool was divided into a deep-water section and a shallow-water section. She thought that it was the same everywhere. She bit her lip and said, “Well, I won’t learn anymore.”

‘”Look at you. When you came here, you were very excited. Before you even started learning, you retreated. You just swallowed two mouthfuls of water. Whoever learns to swim always suffers this. Don’t worry, with me here, there’s no need to be afraid.”

Du Xiaoxian wanted to say that because she was scared just because of him. Who knew what kind of trouble he would make in a while? She was truly afraid because Gu Nianbin sometimes was crazy and really didn’t care anything. She felt that everything about Gu Nianbin was good except for being too enthusiastic in that respect.

Du Xiaoxian lowered her head. She was half ashamed and half annoyed. Her face blushed. Her soft hair was stuck together and dripped water. Her snow-white shoulders were a faint red under the sunlight, like the tip of a flower petal that had just been dyed red. It made Gu Nianbin itchy. He was just about to lower his head to kiss her delicate skin. But he was afraid that it would really scare her. So he stopped teasing her and swam towards the shallow waters with his arms around her waist.

As soon as he started swimming, Du Xiaoxian was pleasantly surprised. It turned out that swimming was like this. Although she wasn’t swimming by herself, her body moved along with the waves of water. That comfortable and free feeling made her feel novel.

“Get down. If you continue to lie down on me,” Gu Nianbin raised his eyebrows. “I will really do something to you.”

Du Xiaoxian hugged his neck and didn’t let go. “I don’t dare.”

Gu Nianbin laughed loudly and patted her butt loudly. “Leave me.”

Uh! Something didn’t seem right. Du Xiaoxian lowered her head and saw that Gu Nianbin’s waist was above the water. No wonder the pat was so loud.

She quickly jumped down. The water just reached her waist. The little girl was very happy and started to play with the water. Gu Nianbin wiped the water off his face and shook his head. He walked to the side of the pool and sat down. No matter how he looked at her, she was still a child. But she was so attractive to him. He did not know why he was so infatuated with Du Xiaoxian. This question was very profound. President Gu couldn’t understand it for a while. So he decided to teach the little girl how to swim first.

Seeing that he taught her seriously, Du Xiaoxian gradually relaxed and concentrated on learning how to swim. Her coordination was not bad and her hands and feet worked well. After half an hour, she could try swimming with Gu Nianbin’s help. Sometimes, she did not know that Gu Nianbin had withdrawn his hand when she was still swimming excitedly. Seeing that Gu Nianbin was getting farther and farther away from her, she came back to her senses. Then her heart was scared and her body sank. Fortunately, the water wasn’t deep so she could step on the bottom. Therefore, she wasn’t as flustered as she did at the beginning.

Gu Nianbin said, “Xian’er, go up and rest for a while. You just started to learn. Don’t be in a hurry. Don’t make yourself too tired.”

Du Xiaoxian followed him to go ashore. Gu Nianbin took a dry towel to wipe the water on her body. As soon as he finished wiping, Du Xiaoxian picked up the clothes on the couch to put on. Gu Nianbin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “No, there’s no one here.”

Du Xiaoxian hesitated for a moment and said, “Are you not human?”

Gu Nianbin was defeated by her and surrendered. “Okay, I promise I won’t do anything to you, okay? Moreover, you’re still going to swim in a second. Wouldn’t it be troublesome to take it off again?”

Seeing that Du Xiaoxian was still somewhat hesitant, he looked at her and said, “Your clothes are conservative and cover all your body. I didn’t even think about that thing. It was you who reminded me about it over and over again. I suspected that it was you who had some intentions.”

“You, nonsense!” The little girl’s face flushed red again. She did not put on any clothes at all and only wrapped the big towel around her body tightly.

Gu Nianbin unconsciously laughed but at the same time, he felt gratified. Even in front of him, Du Xiaoxian was so shy. Therefore, absolutely no other man could peek at her.

He handed Du Xiaoxian a glass of juice and held the bottle of sunscreen with persistence, saying, “I’d better put some sunscreen on you. Otherwise, your skin will peel off under the sun.”

Du Xiaoxian drank two mouthfuls of ice-cold juice and said carelessly, “It’s fine. My skin peeled off before. When I was young, I worked with my mother in the field. After a day of sun exposure, a layer of skin peeled off.”

Every time the little girl talked about her childhood, President Gu was always very sad and silent.

Because Du Xiaoxian had suffered too much in the past, he was reluctant to let her suffer any more and gave her the best of everything. He wanted her to be happy and be the happiest woman in the world.

Du Xiaoxian sat on the deck chair drinking juice. The sound of waves came from afar. The pool rippled slightly. The sun shone on the surface of the water as if it was sprinkled with a layer of gold. When the wind blew, it shattered the golden pool. There were flower barriers by the side of the pool which were tightly wrapped by wistaria. There were small white or yellow flowers between them, swaying timidly in the wind.

This was really a good place. Du Xiaoxian squinted her eyes in satisfaction and smacked her lips. She looked at Gu Nianbin who was sitting on another couch drinking red wine. A smile blossomed on her lips. If they could stay here forever and ignore the disturbances in City G, it would be great!
