Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 59

Chapter 59 I Shouldn’t Have Lost My Temper
Zhou Ting comforted Du Xiaoxian, “Don’t cry. The boss must not be angry about the money. I can promise you, he will never be angry because of six thousand yuan. To him, six thousand yuan is too little and is not worthy of getting angry about.”

“Then, why is he angry?”

Zhou Ting wanted to roll her eyes. How would she know?

“When he comes back later, just ask him and you will know.”

“What if he doesn’t come back?” Du Xiaoxian was very worried. Gu Nianbin was so frightening a moment ago that it was highly possible that he had left her here. Thinking of this, Du Xiaoxian was sad again, and tears that had just been wiped away immediately gushed out.

“No way, he will come back.” Zhou Ting also became worried when she looked at Du Xiaoxian who was crying so sadly. The boss wouldn’t really leave her here and go home alone, would he?

“Hold your tears first. I will go to find him.” Zhou Ting pulled out a few pieces of tissues and stuffed them into Du Xiaoxian’s hand, saying, “Don’t cry,” then she turned around and left.

Zhou Ting didn’t search anywhere else and went straight to the rooftop. Sometimes when Gu Nianbin was upset, he would go up and smoke a cigarette there.

As expected, her boss was really there with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a cigarette. He looked into the distance in a daze with his back facing her. His straight figure looked desolated against the azure sky.

Zhou Ting did not feel his fierce aura at this moment, so she thought the boss had probably calmed down. Walking over and standing behind him, Zhou Ting said softly, “Xiaoxian is crying.”Read more chapters at L istnovel.com

Gu Nianbin turned his head abruptly and looked at Zhou Ting. He then threw away the cigarette butt and quickly walked downstairs.

Zhou Ting made a face at his back. Now he was nervous about Du Xiaoxian, but why did he pound the desk in the first place?

Gu Nianbin did not know why he was so angry either. But after smoking a cigarette on the rooftop and slowly getting calm in the breeze, he was already beginning to regret it. He was just too ashamed to go back very soon. But when he heard Zhou Ting say that Du Xiaoxian was crying, he couldn’t stay any longer and rushed back to his office.

Du Xiaoxian was still standing where she was with her back facing him, trembling her shoulders silently. Gu Nianbin suddenly felt as if someone had stabbed into his heart, causing him so much pain. He did not even close the door before taking a few steps over and embracing her from behind. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry, it was my fault, I shouldn’t have lost my temper.”

Du Xiaoxian was about to stop crying. However, hearing his words, she burst into tears again at once. “No, it was my fault. I was wrong. I was really wrong…”

Gu Nianbin didn’t want to waste time asking about what she had done wrong. The little girl’s world was very simple. To her, spending six thousand yuan was a sky-level big thing!

Gu Nianbin stopped her from talking by kissing her on the mouth. It tasted a little salty in her mouth because the tip of his tongue touched a bit of her tears. The unusual taste was like that too much salt had been added and caused his tongue to sting a little. Then, it even caused a pain in his heart. Gu Nianbin swore silently in his heart that he would never let her cry again no matter what.

Gu Nianbin held Du Xiaoxian in his arms and kissed her for a long time, then finally the both of them calmed down.

Gu Nianbin took his girl to sit on the sofa. They needed to have a good talk. The first thing they had to deal with was the damn six thousand yuan.

“Xiaoxian, don’t think about the six thousand yuan anymore. That’s not important to me, nor is it to you.”

“But…” Du Xiaoxian raised her swollen eyelids and looked at him. “That’s six thousand yuan!”

“Six thousand yuan isn’t important to us.” Gu Nianbin repeated. Seeing her confused expression, he simply stood up and took out a contract to show her the amount of money. “Look, what’s the number?”Read more chapters at L istnovel.com

Du Xiaoxian looked at the number on the contract and read it in disbelief, “Twenty… twenty-five billion yuan!”

“That’s right. I have so much money, why would I care about six thousand yuan?” Gu Nianbin looked at her with amusement.

Du Xiaoxian had no concept about the monetary unit of “billion” at all. She asked him foolishly, “How much is that?”

Gu Nianbin roughly calculated in his heart and said, “About four million of six thousand.”

Du Xiaoxian did know the unit of “million”. She reached out her fingers and started counting again, but the number was too huge. She had counted it wrong a few times before finally quitting. She looked at Gu Nianbin with her bright eyes, “Brother, you have countless money!”

“Yes, countless.” Gu Nianbin pinched her little face and smiled. “So don’t save money for me. Spend as much as you like. The more you spend, the more I would earn. Do you understand?”

“I’m not used to spending money.” Truth be told, Du Xiaoxian really didn’t know that the lunch was so expensive, otherwise, she wouldn’t follow them there even if she was forced to.

Gu Nianbin said, “You are with me now, so you should get used to spending money. I’ll be happy if you spend my money. I earn money for you in the first place, so…” he paused, “from now on, you won’t have to worry about money. Money is just a tool to solve problems. It isn’t worth it to bother yourself for money. You can just swipe the card for whatever you want to buy or eat as long as you like it, you don’t have to bother with the prices. The card I gave you is with unlimited overdraft!”

Du Xiaoxian nodded, understanding only a little. Despite that she agreed with what he said, it was another matter whether or not she would do as he told her to.

“Then why were you angry, brother?” Du Xiaoxian leaned into his embrace and asked carefully, playing with the buttons on his shirt.

“I was angry because you didn’t call me. Did you forget?”

“I… I forgot that there’s a cell phone in my schoolbag.” Du Xiaoxian bit her lips with embarrassment.

Hearing his, Gu Nianbin felt a little better. She had never used a mobile phone before, so it was easy to forget about it. That… was forgivable.

Gu Nianbin was silent for a while before asking again, “Didn’t you miss me?”

“Yes. I was missing you all along.” Du Xiaoxian’s voice was soft and she was a little embarrassed. “I wanted to come back after school, but my classmates forced me to go shopping. So I… I went with them.”

Gu Nianbin carried her to his lap, gently stroking her face. “Forget it, but there is no next time. Tell me wherever you’re going in the future yourself instead of asking Xiaoding to tell me.”

“I know.” At this time, Gu Nianbin no longer had the slightest bit of fierce aura. That gentle young master had returned. Du Xiaoxian took the courage to rub against his chest, which meant that she was acting coyly.

Gu Nianbin laughed, tidied her messy hair and said a little resignedly, “You are really a child.”

As the misunderstanding was resolved, they were as good as ever and went home hand in hand. Zhou Ting stood at the desk with a standard smile on her face. “Boss, are you going out?”

“Since there isn’t much work to do, I’m going home.” Gu Nianbin held Du Xiaoxian’s hand and walked forward without looking sideways. Zhou Ting glanced at the watch on her wrist and silently said to Gu Nianbin’s back, “Boss, is this really good to arrive late or leave early just because you are in love?”

Gu Nianbin felt guilty for losing his temper, so when they returned home, he wanted to spoil his girl from the bottom of his heart.

A fancy dinner was a must. Gu Nianbin did not eat much himself and spent most of the time feeding his little girl. Du Xiaoxian looked thin and frail, but she actually had a quite good appetite. She would eat everything Gu Nianbin’s chopsticks delivered to her mouth, forgetting completely about her mother’s words of eating 70% full for every meal. She was almost stuffed to the throat when finally was coaxed by Gu Nianbin to drink a small bowl of chicken soup.

Du Xiaoxian touched her swollen belly and felt that she was too full to stand up. But it didn’t matter, because she had an omnipotent man at home. Gu Nianbin carried her to the sofa and turned on the TV for her before going to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Du Xiaoxian sat on the sofa and shouted, “Put them down. I’ll do the cleaning later.”

With two plates in his both hands, Gu Nianbin walked towards the kitchen and smiled. “Just watch your TV. You don’t need to worry about these things.”

Du Xiaoxian had felt that she was still somewhat useful, at least she was good at doing chores. However, with an omnipotent man around, things she could do became fewer and fewer. Gu Nianbin wouldn’t let her do anything.

To be honest, she couldn’t do most of the things well. For example, washing clothes. She had learned how to turn on the washing machine, but she never knew that clothes should be sorted before getting washed. After dyeing Gu Nianbin’s white shirts twice, President Gu wouldn’t let her wash clothes. When she did the vacuum cleaning, she forgot that the vacuum cleaner’s wire was not long enough. She pulled the wire hard and directly broke it. Gu Nianbin was so scared that he flew over to grab her, afraid that she would get an electric shock. Besides, she knew nothing about automatic tools in the kitchen. Gu Nianbin had taught her a few times, but she kept forgetting all the buttons’ functions. Once she wanted to cook some rice, she had poured water in and plugged it in, but she pressed the wrong button. Half an hour later, the rice was still rice, and the water was still water.

Du Xiaoxian was very depressed and felt that she was too stupid. She showed a sad face in silence. Gu Nianbin comforted her, “You don’t need to learn those things. With me by your side, you don’t need to learn anything. Everything is good the way it is right now.”

Du Xiaoxian asked, “Brother, you won’t dislike me, will you?”

“How come?” Gu Nianbin hugged and kissed her. “I couldn’t like you more! I like you the way you are.”

“Really?” The little girl raised her sparkling eyes and looked at him.

“Of course. I never lie,” Gu Nianbin said seriously.

Du Xiaoxian looked into the man’s eyes, which were filled with eagerness and sincerity. So she believed what he said. She sneaked into his arms and giggled at ease.

As days passed, Du Xiaoxian totally immersed herself in Gu Nianbin’s love and became more and more lively each day. She was the quietest person before, but now she would actually hum a song occasionally. She would lean on Gu Nianbin’s back to act like a spoiled child and laugh loudly.

In the past, when Gu Nianbin lived alone, his life was orderly and quiet. Now only one extra person made his life completely different. The dull days had become lively. Gu Nianbin’s heart was filled with joy all the time. He didn’t feel annoyed at all, but instead feel incredibly good. Occasionally he would feel like taking care of a child, however this wouldn’t be a problem for him. Du Xiaoxian was so innocent, she was simply a child. He wanted to teach her slowly and give her a safe and free environment to grow up happily, and let her bloom in the center of his palms. He believed that one day, his little girl would definitely be the most beautiful and dazzling one among all the others.
