Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Do You Like Me?
For a moment, both of them were stunned. Du Xiaoxian looked at the towel that had fallen on the bed while Gu Nianbin looked at her. Then she raised her head and said in panic, “I’m not a bad woman.”

Gu Nianbin froze for a second before bursting into laughter, which helped him get rid of all the awkwardness. It was his fault. He should tell her beforehand.

Hearing his laughter, Du Xiaoxian became even more embarrassed and tried to hide under the quilt again, but this time she was a little slower and got caught by Gu Nianbin. He wrapped her in his arms and picked up the jumper he just dropped on the bed. Then he helped her put on the jumper, which covered her well to her knees. Du Xiaoxian was finally at ease, yet she was still very shy. She struggled to free herself from Gu Nianbin’s arms but failed. He refused to let her go and kept holding her tightly. “Don’t move, listen to me.”

Du Xiaoxian habitually followed his order and stayed still, but she did not dare to lean on his chest, so she could only sit on his lap stiffly.

Gu Nianbin let out a soft sigh and said, “Xiaoxian, of course you are not a bad woman. You are very good. I…I like you very much.” After a pause, he added. “I helped you bathe because you sweated a lot with a fever, but you were dizzy and too weak to have a bath by yourself. What happened a moment ago was nothing but an accident? You don’t have to be afraid.”

Du Xiaoxian kept her head low and said in a soft voice. “My mother said that a woman’s body can only be seen by one man throughout her whole life.”

“Yes!” Gu Nianbin’s voice rose with joy, which he had not even realized. “Your mother was so right. Since you had shown it to me, you can’t let a second man see your body. Do you know?”

Du Xiaoxian nodded with a blush. “Yes.”

“What do you know?” Gu Nianbin teased her.

“I…” Du Xiaoxian raised her face, which was bright scarlet as if blood was about to drip from it. She took a look at Gu Nianbin in panic. Actually she didn’t know anything! She didn’t know why the young master suddenly showed up. She didn’t know why she was sick. She didn’t know why the young master bathed her, not to mention why she was sitting in his arms like this. He only treated her this way because…he really liked her a lot, right?

Her mind was still such a mess that she couldn’t keep things straight. Actually she had a faint understanding of his intention, but she wouldn’t dare think about it even in her wildest dream. It was the young master, who was too noble and precious for her…Du Xiaoxian covered her eyes again as if it was the only way to prevent Gu Nianbin from seeing her embarrassment.

Gu Nianbin felt it funny looking at her. How could there be such a naive little girl in the world? She was so cute that he wished he could take a bite of her right now.

“Listen to me, Xiaoxian.” Gu Nianbin said seriously. “You can’t show other men your body nor let them touch you. You can’t get too close to other men nor talk too much with them. Understood?”

Du Xiaoxian nodded immediately. She was unconditionally obedient to Gu Nianbin whatever he ordered her.

“Don’t simply nod.” Gu Nianbin lifted her chin. “Look into my eyes and say yes.”

Du Xiaoxian shrank her body slightly and pursed her lips. She seemed to have summoned every ounce of courage she had, raised her head and looked into Gu Nianbin’s eyes. His eyes were so deep and dark, like the sea beneath the starry sky. She felt like her soul was absorbed by them in a blink of an eye. In his eyes, she saw her small figure with a little oval face. But her eyes were frighteningly bright, which was so unusual. She put her arms around Gu Nianbin’s neck and got closer, as if she wanted to see them more clearly. But the next second, she pouted and kissed Gu Nianbin on the lips.

Gu Nianbin was stunned in shock for a moment because he never thought that she could be so brave. The little girl was actually kissing him, but in an awkward way. He wanted to laugh, but the moment he opened his mouth, he couldn’t help but press his lips gently against hers. Du Xiaoxian moaned while her whole tender body collapsed into his bosom.

Gu Nianbin had actually waited for this for a long time. He was too worried about scaring and losing her. What he never expected was that she would take the first move. His heart was blooming with joy. All the feeling and desire that he had been restraining finally exploded…

The clock on the wall of the living room showed that it was already three in the morning, but the two seemed to be carried away as they kissed tirelessly, as if they had waited for this for a century, as if they were about to kiss until the end of time and space, as if they were stuck together and would never be separated again…

After an indefinite period of time, Gu Nianbin finally let go of her. Du Xiaoxian’s body collapsed into his embrace softly and froze. Gu Nianbin was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly patted her in the face. She seemed to have passed out again. He placed a finger beneath her nose but failed to feel breaths. He was shocked, hurriedly patted her in the face again, pressed upon her Renzhong Acupoint and blew air into her mouth. With all his efforts, Du Xiaoxian finally came to herself and caught a breath. She had absolutely no idea how to kiss, so during all that wild kissing, she was unable to stop for a breath, and in the end, she even forgot to breathe.

Gu Nianbin found it funny but scaring and decided to take it slow with her from now on. The good thing was, he had plenty of time to teach her slowly, one step at a time.

Du Xiaoxian wanted to sit up, but felt weak all over. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Gu Nianbin, twisting her fingers.

Gu Nianbin grabbed her hand and kissed it. He then asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you like me?”

“Yes, sir. I like you.” Du Xiaoxian whispered, but in an incomparably clear voice.

“Then stay with me wherever I go from now on, okay?” Gu Nianbin said.

Du Xiaoxian pursed her lips hesitantly. Gu Nianbin panicked and asked immediately, “Don’t you agree? Don’t you like it?”

“Then…I’m not going back to Daliang Mountain?” Du Xiaoxian blinked her eyes and asked.

“No.” Gu Nianbin answered. “If you miss your dad, I’ll have someone bring him here, okay?”

A trace of panic flashed through Du Xiaoxian’s eyes, she shook her head. “Dad won’t come. He said that people of the Daliang Mountain can never leave there.”

“Alright. Then we can go back to see him sometime, okay?”

Du Xiaoxian lowered her head and nodded gently as an answer after a short while.

“Are you hungry? I’ll cook noodles for you.” Gu Nianbin tucked her hair behind her ears and took the opportunity to kiss her earlobe again.

Du Xiaoxian twitched shyly. Her ears turned red completely and she whispered, “I’m not hungry. If you are, I’ll cook something.”

“No, you stay right here. I’ll go and call you when I’m done.” Gu Nianbin put her on the bed and kissed her on the face again when getting up. Her face was as tender as tofu and made his mouth linger on it.

Du Xiaoxian won’t agree. She jumped out of bed and rushed out to the kitchen. How could she let the young master wait upon her? She was the one whose job was to wait upon others.

Gu Nianbin shook his head. He smiled bitterly and hurriedly followed her. Du Xiaoxian had never worked in the kitchen since she came to the Gu mansion. Besides, his kitchen had more electronic cooking utensil than the mansion’s, so there were probably many items that she didn’t know how to use.

As expected, when they arrived at the kitchen, Du Xiaoxian looked at the clean and shiny counter and asked, “Sir, where is the pot?”

Gu Nianbin taught her to press the green button on the side of the kitchen cabinet. The door rotated open. There were a total of three floors from top to bottom, with pots of varying sizes. Du Xiaoxian looked at the pots seriously and pointed at one of them. “Can I use this?”

“Yes, take whichever you like.”

Du Xiaoxian took out the pot and wanted to wash it before using. However, she couldn’t figure out how to open the water tap. Gu Nianbin reached out and lightly tapped on the counter. Water started running. Du Xiaoxian opened her mouth wide in surprise. “Young master, you even know how to perform magic tricks?”

Gu Nianbin pointed to a small touch screen on the counter and showed her how to use it. It could control the water tap, adjust the temperature and water flow. “You will live here from now on, so you have to learn to use them. Sometimes when I’m not around, you can cook something for yourself.”

Du Xiaoxian raised her face and asked, “I’ll live here in the future?”

“Yes. Come live with me, okay?”

Du Xiaoxian lowered her eyes shyly and nodded after a while. Her face had been flushing all the time and her eyes were blurry with shyness. Gu Nianbin loved her so much that he pulled her into his arms and kissed her again. He became addicted to her after a single taste. He wished he could hold her in his arms and kiss her all along.

After kissing for quite a while, they still hadn’t start cooking the noodles. Gu Nianbin felt that it would probably take much more time to cook if they both stayed in the kitchen. Although Du Xiaoxian said that she was not hungry, he wouldn’t believe her. How could she not be hungry? It was already this late, he himself was even a little hungry, not to mention his little girl. After a lot of persuasion, he finally chased Du Xiaoxian out of the kitchen. He quickly started boiling the noodles, minced a small piece of beef and put it into the pot as well. Finally he added some chopped scallion on top to finish a pot of beef noodles that smelled so good. It was simple but tasted very good.

Watching his little girl eat with relish with her oily mouth, Gu Nianbin let out a sigh of satisfaction. He raised his neck and drank all the soup in his bowl.

Du Xiaoxian imitated him and drank up the noodle soup as well. She even smacked her mouth as if she didn’t get enough of it. “The noodles you cooked are really delicious.”

Gu Nianbin looked at her and smiled. Suddenly, he added evilly, “Actually, I taste better. Do you want to have a try?”

Du Xiaoxian hesitated and looked at him with a puzzled expression. He was flirting with her, but unfortunately, the little girl was too naive and simple to understand it.

Gu Nianbin raised his eyebrows and smiled while looking at her silly face. It was good that she didn’t understand. He didn’t want to ruin her naivety so quickly.

Finishing the noodles, Gu Nianbin took her to stand on the balcony for a while. The early morning wind was a little cool. He held Du Xiaoxian tightly in his arms and looked at the stars in the sky blankly. When he left the Gu mansion, he didn’t know that things would turn out like this. Originally, he only wanted to get Du Xiaoxian back, keep her in the Gu mansion and continue sending her to school. However, the moment he saw her, he knew that Shao Boqing was right. He was very much devoted to Du Xiaoxian, indeed.

He finally got rid of all the confusion and hesitation. The emotions that he had been intentionally suppressing were so overwhelming that it had drowned his rationality. Everything was telling him clearly that he liked that little girl called Du Xiaoxian very much. Whether they were from the same world or not, he wanted her to be with him for the rest of his life. He wouldn’t be separated from her anymore.
