Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 55

Chapter 55 You Won’t Leave Me, Right?
The night reigned at around eight o’clock. The vast sky in autumn night looked high and far away, but was not deep blue as usual. There was faint white light emitting from the bottom of the gray-blue sky, in which you could even see masses of clouds floating. Because the background was not dark, the moon looked dim like a shadow in the sky. But the stars were brighter than the moon, scattering around randomly like silver nails someone had sprinkled in the sky.

Du Xiaoxian looked at the stars carefully. Her mother once told her that people would become stars in the sky after death. Which one was her mother? She really wanted her mother to see how happy she was now. She was so, so happy that she was even willing to die right now. But she was reluctant to be separated from this handsome man sitting beside her …

Du Xiaoxian thought that she must have done all the good things in her previous life, so in this life she could meet Gu Nianbin. Or perhaps because she had suffered so much in this life, then God blessed her with Gu Nianbin. Her mother said that life was fair, one should be grateful no matter how difficult your life was. Because when life closed a window in front of you, it must have opened another for you. She had never understood that until now. Gu Nianbin was another window that God had opened for her. In this window, there was no loneliness, no sarcasm, no coldness or hunger, only warmth, joy and happiness instead.

For nearly eighteen years, she had lived with a muddled head … Finally, the suffering was gone and came the sweetness. Her mother was right. Be grateful instead of complaining at any time because God would always be fair. Therefore, she waited and waited, and the happiness belonging to her finally came to her.

Gu Nianbin took a sip of his tea and gazed at the bustling city under his feet, lost in his thoughts. The streetlights were as brilliant as pearls, linking with each one another. Skyscrapers in the distance were like silent monsters, towering into the heavens motionlessly. And the buildings nearby lit up with a myriad twinkling and warm lights through every window.

Gu Nianbin often stood alone on the balcony. He would observe those windows closest to him. In almost every window, there were real and warm life scenes, one of which impressed him the most: The husband returned home late. When he opened the door, a chubby little girl with double pigtails rushed over and threw herself into his embrace, while his virtuous wife held a cup of tea, smiling and waiting aside for him to change his shoes. After the man changed his shoes, he bent down to kiss his little daughter and took the tea from his wife to drink it up, with great coziness. Happiness emerged from every corner of his eyes and the tip of his brows.

When Gu Nianbin saw that scene, he almost fell into a trance. Well, he thought, what could make you happier than going home to be with your beautiful wife and children? However, he … At that moment, he thought sadly that he might never have such happiness in his whole life. There was always only himself in his world. He couldn’t remember for how long he had been lonely. Gradually, he got used to it and always kept a distance from people. Now, he had become President Gu, who was quiet, mysterious and respected by everyone. However, it was cold and lonely at the top, his heart was still craving for warmth.

Now, he looked sideways at the young girl beside him, showing a warm smile on his face. In the near future, he would also be able to have a warm home like that man. There would be a window with the light on for him, and his wife and children would wait for him when he returned late.

“Are you cold?” He touched Du Xiaoxian’s hand.

“No.”

In the dim light of night, Du Xiaoxian turned to smile at him. Her big and crystal clear eyes were shining brighter than any other star in the sky. Gu Nianbin felt a warmth in his heart. He carried her to sit on his lap. The autumn breeze was refreshing, the tea was fragrant, and the beauty was in his arms. President Gu sighed contentedly and hugged his girl more tightly.

“Xiaoxian,” he called, with his chin pressed against her forehead.

“Huh?” Du Xiaoxian sat still and raised her voice slightly.

“Go on to school tomorrow, okay?”

“OK.” She would always agree to do everything that Gu Nianbin wanted her to.

“I’ll send a car to pick you up every day. Don’t go home alone.”

“Alright.”

“I bought you a mobile phone, and I’ve put my number in it. Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay!” This answer was the loudest. There was a little joy in Du Xiaoxian’s heart. She had a mobile phone now. When she missed him, she could call him and listen to his voice. How nice!

Gu Nianbin was silent for a while before asking, “Will you call me?”

“Yes, I will.” Du Xiaoxian nodded and gave him a positive answer. Tomorrow she had to go to school and would be unable to see him for a whole day. Of course, she would call him!

Gu Nianbin ruffled her hair with a smile and said, “Good girl!”

Du Xiaoxian felt like she was being treated as a pet again. She leaned her head over and rubbed it against his chest happily.

They sat on the balcony for a long time. Most of the time they were silent and just held each other in their arms; occasionally they would smile at each other, which conveyed their affection and transcended the spoken words. Gu Nianbin’s heart was full of love and he stroked Du Xiaoxian’s back again and again.

With his stroking, Du Xiaoxian felt very comfortable and gradually became a little sleepy. But she did not want to sleep. She wanted to stay awake and engrave every minute and second she spent with him in her heart. She thought, if they broke up in the future, small things of their daily life right now would be the most precious memories.

Gu Nianbin noticed that her body was sinking, so he asked in a low voice, “Are you sleepy?”

Du Xiaoxian forced herself to keep her eyes wide open and smiled, shaking her head. But clearly, Gu Nianbin could tell that she was a little sleepy.

“Wash up and go to bed then. You can’t sleep late tomorrow.”

Du Xiaoxian sat still. Gu Nianbin moved and acted like he was going to hold her up. “Do you want me to help you?”

Du Xiaoxian was so frightened that she struggled out of his arms. “No, no, I’ll do it myself.” No matter how intimate they were, she was still shy.

Gu Nianbin smiled and pulled her into the room while holding her hand.

There were no pajamas in the clothes that Zhou Ting sent over, so Du Xiaoxian still wore Gu Nianbin’s white T-shirt after the shower. She looked at herself in the mirror and spun a circle while pulling the lower hem of the shirt. She felt it was very funny because the loose T-shirt looked both like a robe and a skirt on her.

Gu Nianbin walked over as he dried his wet hair, and he said, “I think we don’t need to buy you pajamas. Just wear this instead.”

Du Xiaoxian stood in front of the mirror and examined herself carefully. “Does this work?”

“Sure,” Gu Nianbin said, “it will save money.”

Du Xiaoxian agreed unconditionally when she was reminded of saving money. She said happily, “Alright, then I won’t buy pajamas.”

How could him call it saving money to use a branded T-shirt that cost several thousand yuan as pajamas? … (President Gu, don’t think that we don’t know your true intention.)

Gu Nianbin did have some selfish motives. It seemed that his T-shirt on Du Xiaoxian covered every important part of her, but actually the wide collar revealed the little girl’s exquisite collarbones. She looked so pure yet a little sexy, which made him feel a hint of desire in his heart.

However, no matter how tempted he was to have her, he did not intend to touch her. She was so skinny that Gu Nianbin was afraid he would break her small body. He’d like to raise her for some time. After all, she wasn’t even eighteen yet!

After Gu Nianbin finished drying his hair, Du Xiaoxian suddenly blushed. Although there was a little bit of anticipation in her heart, when the time really came, she was shy again and hesitated, not daring to enter the room.

Gu Nianbin didn’t urge her. He just kept looking at her until she couldn’t bear the embarrassment and lowered her head. Finally, Du Xiaoxian followed him into the room with a flushed face.

Gu Nianbin held her in his arms and gently caressed her back. “Sleep now.”

Du Xiaoxian responded to him by snuggling up against him. Gu Nianbin’s chest was warm and strong, and she could smell the faint scent on him after bath. She took a deep breath, put her hands on his chest obediently, and then she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Gu Nianbin kept his eyes open and looked at somewhere in the void. He caressed her occasionally until he heard her breathing grow slow and steady. Knowing that she was asleep, he gently kissed her on the forehead and also fell asleep with his eyes closed.

In a daze, Gu Nianbin suddenly heard Du Xiaoxian ask him, “Brother, you won’t leave me, right?”

“Of course I won’t,” he replied in a low voice. Suddenly he opened his eyes, only to find that the little girl breathed calmly and lay still in his arms. It didn’t look like she was awake. Gu Nianbin thought that he was dreaming and laughed silently. How could he have a dream right after he fell asleep?

In the middle of the night, Du Xiaoxian suddenly woke up. She found herself lying on Gu Nianbin’s chest. Lifting her eyes, she saw his handsome face. Gu Nianbin always had a cold face, but at this moment, he was deep in asleep and looked gentle, kind and as harmless as a child. Du Xiaoxian stared at him in a daze. She was obsessed.

After a while, Du Xiaoxian felt that her lower abdomen was slightly sore and swollen. She quietly got off Gu Nianbin and turned around, and the next second she was forcefully held back by a powerful hand.

Seeing that Gu Nianbin did not open his eyes, Du Xiaoxian did not dare to wake him up. She waited quietly for a while longer until she felt that he seemed to relax his grip gradually, then she got out from underneath his hand and retreated to the bedside to look for her shoes. However, Gu Nianbin sat up and narrowed his eyes to look at her. “Where are you going?”

“The … the bathroom.” Du Xiaoxian did not expect that she disturbed him after all and said guiltily, “I woke you up.”

Gu Nianbin turned on the small bedside lamp and rubbed his eyes. “Hurry back.”

Du Xiaoxian responded to him with an “okay” and quickly ran into the bathroom with her shoes on. The night was too quiet, which made it sound a little loud when she peed. And at the same time, she heard Gu Nianbin’s footsteps right outside the door, so her face turned red with embarrassment. After she finally finished peeing, Du Xiaoxian stayed inside for a while before opening the door. Under the light, her face was as red as the braised prawns they had for dinner. Gu Nianbin was surprised and touched her forehead. “Why is your face so red? Are you having a fever?”

Her temperature was normal. But he didn’t intend to let her go and questioned her closely, “Why are you blushing?”

Du Xiaoxian was affectedly bashful. She moved her body in an unnatural way and asked in a soft voice, “What are you doing here, brother?”

“I’m going to use the bathroom too.”

“Isn’t there two bathrooms?” Du Xiaoxian asked. “Brother, you can use the other one so that you won’t need to wait.”

Gu Nianbin looked at her shy face and suddenly understood. He laughed and said, “Wait here for me.”

Du Xiaoxian didn’t think too much about it before saying yes, and then she stood outside the door obediently.

After a while, she heard the clear sound of liquid flowing, which was even louder than hers. Du Xiaoxian’s face turned red again and she took a few steps away slowly.

Coming out of the bathroom, Gu Nianbin saw that Du Xiaoxian was even more embarrassed and seemed not to know what to do, he asked in confusion, “You blushed because I heard you using the bathroom. Now that you’ve heard me using the bathroom as well, why are you still blushing?”

Du Xiaoxian’s mouth moved. She tried to say something but was unable to say a word. She lowered her head in extreme embarrassment. The young master was good in every way, only that …

Gu Nianbin shook his head. She shouldn’t be so shy. He walked back to the room with Du Xiaoxian in his arms. “Xiaoxian, we are the closest, so we don’t need to be shy about such things at all. Of course, maybe you’re shy because I saw your body, but you haven’t seen mine. In the near future, though, you will also see my …”

Du Xiaoxian covered her eyes with shyness, but she forgot that she was walking. She stepped on Gu Nianbin’s heel and fell downwards. Gu Nianbin grimaced in pain but didn’t have time to care about his feet, instead, he helped her stand steady and said, “Wow, take it easy …”

Although Du Xiaoxian was a timid person, she couldn’t bear it that Gu Nianbin kept teasing her again and again, so she stepped on the back of his foot angrily … As soon as she did that, she was scared. She covered her chest and looked at Gu Nianbin timidly. She never thought that the first time she used violence in her life was against the young master …

Gu Nianbin laughed out loud. She looked shy, angry, and scared. He looked at her and finally couldn’t help but carry her horizontally, walking towards the bed …
