Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Do You Like It or Not?
By the time they went to bed, the sky is turning bright in the east. Thick curtains were tightly drawn, shrouding the quiet room in darkness. The couple fell sound asleep on the bed.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Nianbin’s phone rang. Du Xiaoxian groaned vaguely in sleep. As soon as she turned over, a strong arm immediately held her back tightly against his chest.

She rubbed her eyes and muttered, “Young master, your phone is ringing.”

Gu Nianbin hugged her with one hand and put his phone near his ear with the other, “Hello?”

Hearing his lazy and sleepy voice, Zhou Ting on the other end of the phone almost dropped the phone with a trembling hand. She blinked and looked at the exquisite watch on her wrist. It was already ten o’clock and the boss was still sleeping? This was too abnormal. President Gu was never late for work. Even if he couldn’t be on time because he was occupied, he would inform her in advance. It was really unbelievable that when she called, he was still sleeping without any prior notice. Zhou Ting suddenly felt that something big might was happening.

Before she could think of anything to say, the hang up tone came through the phone because Gu Nianbin had already cut it off. Zhou Ting looked at the phone in her hand in a daze for a long time before putting it down and sitting down slowly. She was wondering whether the boss was sleeping alone or with someone else. If he had a companion…Holding her chin, Secretary Zhou tried to imagine a sensual scene in her mind, but no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn’t picture it.

Back then, when she passed all rounds of tests and finally got the position of chief secretary for the president, Gu Nianbin talked to her personally. The conversation was not long, but she remembered one sentence the clearest: Do your own job well and don’t get interested in your boss.

She was stunned hearing this. This was too straightforward. No matter how handsome and extraordinary he might be, it was too arrogant and egotistic to say those words! At that time, Zhou Ting didn’t take this seriously. Later, little birds told her that all the secretaries before her had admired the boss. Gu Nianbin was very annoyed and fired them as soon as he noticed the first wrong signal. Only then did she understand the meaning of what the boss had said on the first day they met.

The longer she worked with Gu Nianbin, the more she felt that the boss would never get involved with women. He either avoided being with women or maintained a respectful distance from them. Therefore, she really couldn’t picture Gu Nianbin sleeping with a woman in broad daylight.

Could it be… She thought of another possibility: Xia Xiaowan! If there was any woman in this world who could have sex with her boss, it could only be Xia Xiaowan. There was always a photo of her on his desk. Sometimes when she went in to deliver documents, she would see Gu Nianbin gazing at Xia Xiaowan’s photo with obvious strong affections in his eyes. Was Xia Xiaowan back?

Another Miss Xia with the same name and similar appearance occurred to her on second thought. Recently, the boss and this Miss Xia were quite close. She even heard that they often went to the boss’s house for dinner together. A few days ago, Nina told her that the boss took Xia Xiaowan away with a strange expression halfway through the dinner with Chenguang. Judging by that, there was great progress in their relationship. Could it be Xia Xiaowan who was sleeping with the boss at this moment?

Zhou Ting changed a hand to support her chin and continued to guess. This time she thought of Du Xiaoxian, that thin and weak little girl. Back then, when the boss treated this girl differently, Zhou Ting was excited to expect a Cinderella drama. However, in a few days, the little girl disappeared.

Actually, Du Xiaoxian’s facial features were pretty good. She was just too skinny. In President Shao’s words, such skinny women were normally not favored by men. Because it wouldn’t feel good to touch their bodies. Besides, you would feel their bones sticking against you when having sex with them.

After Du Xiaoxian stopped coming to the company, there was nothing unusual in the boss’s behaviors, but President Shao mentioned how he missed Du Xiaoxian a few times in front of her. Zhou Ting joked with Shao Boqing that since he thought Du Xiaoxian was too skinny, it would be contradictory to say he missed her all the time.

Shao Boqing refuted her seriously that missing someone was different from missing someone’s body. Of course, Zhou Ting knew those were two different things. Actually, she missed the little girl quite a lot. Du Xiaoxian was quiet, obedient and would often fill her cup with water or coffee. There was a time when the boss saw Du Xiaoxian doing that for her. Although he didn’t say anything, his glare froze Zhou Ting. After that, she didn’t dare to ask Du Xiaoxian to do anything for her anymore.

Zhou Ting was lost in all the wild guesses when the door was pushed open. Shao Boqing poked his head in and asked, “Is the boss here?”

Zhou Ting shook her head. Shao Boqing responded calmly before turning around and left.

This didn’t make sense. Gu Nianbin hadn’t showed up by now, and Shao Boqing’s reaction was too indifferent. Zhou Ting stood up quickly and chased after him. “President Shao, President Shao…”

Shao Boqing stopped and turned around to look at her. “What is it?”

“President Shao, where’s the boss? Will he come to the company today?”

Shao Boqing shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands, “No comment!”

Her guess was right. Shao Boqing knew about something. Zhou Ting dragged him and said with a coy voice, “President Shao, please, just tell me. I need to find the boss to deal with an urgent matter! President Shao, you’re the best…”

“Why don’t you call him on his cell phone if you have urgent matters?” Shao Boqing shook off her hand and looked her up and down. “Does your boss know that you’re so good at playing coy?”

“You’re annoying!” Zhou Ting gave him a hit out of anger. “I called, but the boss was sleeping. I…”

“Wait,” Shao Boqing cried out in surprise. “He was still in bed at this time of day? This is too… Ah!” He shook his head and said emotionally, “After being suppressed for so many years, it seemed he finally exploded!”

“What do you mean?” Zhou Ting was keen and she captured the keyword. “President Shao, are you saying that after being single for more than ten years, the boss is finally letting his emotions explode? With whom?”

“How come you are now even more interested in gossip than Nina? Don’t peep into the boss’s affairs. Don’t you know curiosity kills cats?” Shao Boqing gave her a scolding and bobbed his head about as he walked away. Zhou Ting remained still and heard Shao Boqing sigh as he walked, “Well, young man, too much sex will hurt the body…”

So there was a woman as she guessed! But who would it be? Zhou Ting was no longer in the mood to work. She went back to the office and continued her wild guesswork with one hand supporting her chin.

Gu Nianbin took a short nap after hanging up the phone. He opened his eyes slowly and found his little girl curling into a ball in his arms quietly. He gently tucked her thin and soft hair that had covered half of her face behind her ears. A small face was revealed. Du Xiaoxian’s face was as clean and smooth as a shelled egg. Her pair of straight eyebrows were neither thick nor faint, which would knit slightly every time she insisted on something. Her two furrowed brows showed she was very adamant. The bridge of her nose was very delicate, and her lips were small and fleshy. Looking at her pink lips, Gu Nianbin couldn’t help but stir his Adam’s apple. He hurriedly moved his gaze to her big eyes, which were sharply contrasting black and white and as clear as a stream when she opened them wide. But most of the time, Du Xiaoxian would lower her eyes and avoid eye contact with anyone. So people could only saw her thick eyelids, which were like two small fans blocking her eyes.

If things that occurred last night could be described as chaotic, now Gu Nianbin’s mind was very clear. He knew exactly what he was doing. Although he seemed not to be himself yesterday, hugging Du Xiaoxian right now made him feel happy and satisfied, a feeling he had never experienced before. As if owning her was owning the whole world.

Although he had a happy family and was surrounded by affectionate parents, a loving sister and many friends, he had always been lonely. Being the President of the Gu’s Company made him feel the chill of standing alone at the top. It was as if he was encased in transparent glass; he could see them but could not really get close to them. He had always habitually kept a distance from everyone and didn’t like others to pry into his heart. But now, he was no longer lonely. The tiny girl in his arms meant the whole world to him.

Gu Nianbin traced the curves of Du Xiaoxian’s face with his fingers gently. When he reached the bridge of her nose, she twitched her nose and slowly opened her eyes, looking at him with some confusion. The next second, her expression changed. With her eyes and mouth wide open, she tried to jump out of the bed as if she had seen a ghost.

Gu Nianbin frowned discontentedly. Last night she said that she liked him, and in the morning she changed her mind. This was quite a blow…

But Du Xiaoxian couldn’t move because Gu Nianbin was holding her tightly. Last night was undoubtedly shocking to Du Xiaoxian. Her little brain could not receive so much information, so she chose not to think about it at all and did everything as Gu Nianbin told her. But now, after a night of rest, fragments of memory were pieced together bit by bit. No matter how naive she was, she knew what it meant to be lying in bed with the young master… Was she going to be the young master’s woman? Could she be his woman? How could she be the young master’s woman?

She was just starting to think when Gu Nianbin interrupted her with an ardent kiss. She stopped thinking automatically and habitually followed the lead of him.

Gu Nianbin’s kiss was forceful and lingering, but it did not last long because he was afraid that she couldn’t breathe again. He stopped kissing her, gently stroked her slightly swollen pink lips with his fingers and asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you hungry?”

Du Xiaoxian shook her head and gasped for breath slightly. Her eyes were still filled with shock. Gu Nianbin looked into her eyes and suddenly felt uncertain. He raised her chin with a hand and asked seriously, “Don’t you…like me anymore?”

“Yes, yes, I do.” Du Xiaoxian was very certain about this and hurriedly replied.

“Then you don’t like me kissing you?” Gu Nianbin asked.

Du Xiaoxian blushed. How could she answer such a question? Of course she also liked it, but how could she say it out loud? If she did, she would become a bad woman!

Seeing that she lowered her eyes and became silent, Gu Nianbin said, “Huh?” He ended this word on a higher tone with extremely a unique type of charm. Du Xiaoxian became shyer and covered her eyes with her hands.

Gu Nianbin suddenly felt like teasing her. He held her face and asked again, “Do you like it or not?”

Du Xiaoxian would rather die than admit this. She hastily got rid of Gu Nianbin’s hands and threw herself into his embrace. Gu Nianbin laughed in a low voice and lowered his head to kiss her hair. “Alright, I know. You like it, don’t you?”

Du Xiaoxian grabbed his pajamas and rubbed her face against it, as if she wanted to bury her face in his chest. Gu Nianbin gently stroked her thin back and whispered, “You want some more sleep? Get up and eat something, okay? You’re too skinny. I’m going to fatten you up.”

Du Xiaoxian’s muffled voice came from his chest, “If young master is hungry, I’ll cook something.”
