Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 64

Chapter 64 I’ve Wronged You
The matter was settled just like that, and no one had to compensate anyone. Gu Nianbin beat Lei Luo up and caused black eyes to him. Then he also had a fight with Jiang Kaiwei. Although neither of them won or lost, it could be considered that Gu Nianbin had vented out the anger in his heart.

The group of them arrived downstairs. Wang Qian’s birthday party had also ended. People rushed out of the door in a swarm. Then, the girls were stunned. They saw that the street was lined with a handful of golden bachelors of City G, including Shen Li, Shao Boqing, Gu Nianbin, and Jiang Kaiwei! Every one of them seemed to be shining with light, dazzling the girls’ eyes.

Normally, it would be like winning a lottery to be able to see one of these young masters. This time, they met four of them! The girls covered their mouths and couldn’t believe their eyes. Most of the girls were also from rich families and were at the age of loving handsome faces. They could speak on the noble young masters from upper class with great familiarity. But because they were not 18 years old yet, they were not allowed to attend adult balls. Thus, they had no chance to meet these young masters. But now, these noble and admired young masters were standing in the street at will for them to see. The girls thought they were lucky tonight!

Yang Liying rubbed her hands excitedly. She looked at this person and then at that person. Suddenly, her gaze froze. There was actually a girl among the men. She was very familiar with that thin figure—it was Du Xiaoxian. This discovery caught Yang Liying off guard and left her completely dumbfounded. Then, everyone else saw Du Xiaoxian and opened their mouths wide in disbelief. The little country bumpkin in their eyes was actually with the noble young masters. Moreover, all those young masters gazed at her very gently. What kind of a scene was this? Wasn’t it too weird? No girls dared to step forward and greet Du Xiaoxian. Everyone just silently refreshed their understanding of Du Xiaoxian in their hearts.

Only Wang Qian muttered to herself, “No wonder she gave me such an expensive bag. It turns out that she is a hidden rich girl!”

The girls were so excited that when those noble young masters left, none of them noticed which one Du Xiaoxian had followed away.

Gu Nianbin learned from Shao Boqing about the whole story, and it was almost the same as he had estimated. However, there was one thing he hadn’t expected—when Du Xiaoxian was in trouble, she didn’t look for him, but instead looked for Shao Boqing. This made him feel uncomfortable in his heart. However, Du Xiaoxian raised her tear-stained little face and looked at him pitifully. Gu Nianbin was unable to utter a single word of complaint. He only had a sullen face and didn’t say anything.

Du Xiaoxian knew that she had done something wrong again and sat in the car without saying a word. After they got home, Gu Nianbin told her to take a shower. She obediently followed his order, and she cried with tears as she took the shower. When she was young, she actually didn’t like to cry at all. She didn’t cry even when being beaten by her father. But now, she was so delicate that she couldn’t help but shed tears at the slightest bit of a matter.

Du Xiaoxian came out of the bath. Gu Nianbin saw that her eyes were red and he knew that she had cried. He felt both worried and annoyed. He restrained his emotions and asked softly, “Why are you crying again? Do you feel unwell?”

Du Xiaoxian wore a large T-shirt, revealing her skinny collarbone. She stood there pitifully and shook her head. At this moment, Gu Nianbin suddenly saw the bruises on her arm. His temples jumped and he picked up her arm. His voice sank, “How did you get this?”

Du Xiaoxian was already uneasy in her heart. Hearing this cold tone, she became even more panicked and did not dare to say a word.

Seeing that she acted this way, Gu Nianbin really wanted to get angry, but he was afraid of scaring her. He found some medicinal oil in the drawer to help apply to her bruise. Du Xiaoxian shrunk her hands and whispered, “It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Gu Nianbin asked again, “How did you get this?”

Du Xiaoxian bit her lips and whispered, “He pushed me and I hit the tea table.”

“Who pushed you? Lei Luo?”

Du Xiaoxian thought about it carefully and nodded. It sounded like this name.

Gu Nianbin angrily hit the table with a punch. Du Xiaoxian was so frightened that her heart jumped. However, she then saw him silently enter the bathroom.

Du Xiaoxian could not figure out why Gu Nianbin was so angry. She poured herself a glass of water and stood in front of the window, drinking slowly. Looking at the brightly lit street below, she thought that she was stupid and foolish, and she always made the Young Master unhappy. If this continued, Young Master would definitely dislike her … If Young Master wouldn’t like her … Thinking like this, her eyes became moist again. She rubbed her eyes and forced back her tears, complaining that she was useless and crying all the time, Young Master would be annoyed …

Gu Nianbin came out of the bath and dried his hair carelessly before throwing away the towel. He went to the bar counter and poured himself a glass of red wine, drinking silently. He did not know what kind of person he was in Du Xiaoxian’s heart, was he unreliable? Untrustworthy? Why was Shao Boqing the first person she thought of when she was in trouble?

One of them stood in front of the window and drank water, while the other sat at the bar counter and drank wine. The atmosphere was rather dull.

Du Xiaoxian would peep at Gu Nianbin from time to time. When the man was cold and serious, he was also quite handsome. She saw his side face and the tight arc of his chin, which showed the growing anger of the man. Du Xiaoxian lowered her eyes and sighed softly. She was really a troublemaker!

When the air was so suffocating that it was about to make her overwhelmed, Du Xiaoxian finally couldn’t help it. She walked over gently and tugged at the hem of Gu Nianbin’s clothes. Gu Nianbin did not look at her. He stared at the wine in his hand and asked in a flat voice, “What’s wrong?”

“Are you angry?” she asked carefully.

“No.” His voice was so cold, and he was clearly angry …

Du Xiaoxian felt an irritating sensation in the nose, and she sniffed loudly and said, “I’m sorry.”

Gu Nianbin didn’t want to ask why she said sorry. What she said was completely different from what he thought.

After a moment of silence, Gu Nianbin finally regained his composure and said, “Nothing. Go to bed.”

When Du Xiaoxian saw him sitting motionless, she wanted to ask, “Aren’t you going to bed?” Her mouth moved but she didn’t dare to ask. Gu Nianbin finally glanced at her, poured the wine into his mouth and said, “Let’s go, go to sleep.”

Du Xiaoxian followed him into the room and consciously crawled inside to lie down. Gu Nianbin went to bed and hugged her in his arms without difficulty. As soon as Du Xiaoxian touched his warm chest, she couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. She burst into tears, and her tears was like flowing water coming out of the open water tap, soaking Gu Nianbin’s pajamas immediately.

Gu Nianbin was so caring about her, and he resignedly picked her up to make her sit up. He pulled the tissues from the bedside table to wipe her tears. Although he didn’t want to ask, he still asked, “What’s wrong, why are you crying again?”

Du Xiaoxian shed streams of tears and mucus, saying intermittently, “Sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have caused trouble … Wuh wuh wuh… I shouldn’t have gone to the wrong room … Wuh wuh wuh …”

Gu Nianbin knew that these were all she had in mind, but he still patiently coaxed her, “It’s okay, it’s all over. Be good, don’t cry …”

“But, I got you into a fight …”

“Even if you weren’t there, I would still have a fight with him.”

“Wh… Why?” Du Xiaoxian asked confusedly with tears in her eyes.

Gu Nianbin said, “Because Jiang Kaiwei and I repel each other. We will fight the moment we meet, it has nothing to do with you.”

Was that so? Du Xiaoxian was doubtful. What did he mean by saying that he and Jiang Kaiwei repelled each other?

Looking at the little poor thing’s confused look in her eyes, Gu Nianbin explained, “We don’t like each other, so we repel each other. It really has nothing to do with you.”

Du Xiaoxian believed what he said and stopped crying. She tugged at the tissue and wiped her eyes hard. Gu Nianbin put her on the bed and left her alone for a while. He went to the bathroom to get a warm towel and wiped her face.

After wiping Du Xiaoxian’s face clean, Gu Nianbin hugged his little girl and lay quietly. He gently caressed her back and said, “Good girl, sleep now.”

Sensing that Gu Nianbin had returned to his usual tenderness, Du Xiaoxian was a bit more courageous. She leaned on his chest and played with the buttons on his pajamas. She slowly asked, “Brother, why were you so angry?”

Gu Nianbin didn’t want to say it because it would hurt his self-esteem. But he also felt that with Du Xiaoxian’s brain, she probably would never think it through. What if she encountered the same situation a next time? Did he have to be so angry that blue veins popped out again?

He sighed and asked, “Why didn’t you call me? Why did you turn to Shao Boqing?”

Du Xiaoxian was stunned. So this was why the Young Master was angry? She then explained, “There were many of them. I was afraid that you would get wounded.” In the Daliang Mountain, when two families had a dispute, the family with fewer family members must be the party that got beaten up. She thought that if Gu Nianbin came to her alone, he would definitely be beaten up! She just didn’t expect that the people here didn’t like to fight in groups. They all fought alone.

Gu Nianbin laughed. “Weren’t you afraid that Shao Boqing would also be beaten up when you called him over?”

“He said that he was very powerful, and that when I got into trouble, no one would dare to bully me if I spoke out his name.”

Gu Nianbin frowned. “I am also very powerful. In the future, no one will dare to bully you if you speak out my name.”

Du Xiaoxian was silent for a moment and said, “Someone among those people recognized me. He knew that I was a maid, so he definitely knew you as well. Perhaps … he even knew the Old Master and Madam.”

Gu Nianbin’s heart tightened. He didn’t expect that such a simple person like Du Xiaoxian could think so far. This was a problem that he should worry about, but his little girl was worried for him. It wasn’t that she didn’t think of him at that time, it was that she thought too thoughtfully for him. She was afraid that he would get beaten up, afraid that the matter would spread to his parents, so she went to Shao Boqing.

Gu Nianbin felt as if his heart was blocked by a big rock, feeling very uncomfortable. It was his fault. It was all his fault. He could not openly take her with him, nor could he mention her to his parents. He couldn’t give her a safe and harmless environment.

Du Xiaoxian felt Gu Nianbin’s body get a little stiffened. She raised her face and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Gu Nianbin looked at her black and white eyes and said seriously, “I’m sorry, Xiaoxian, I’ve wronged you.”

Du Xiaoxian sighed and said in surprise, “Brother, why are you saying sorry? The one who did the wrong thing was me! Furthermore, I am not wronged at all!”

Gu Nianbin grabbed her fingers and kissed them at his mouth. “Trust me, Xiaoxian, everything will be fine soon!”

Du Xiaoxian nodded in confusion. No matter what Gu Nianbin said, she believed him unconditionally. She hugged Gu Nianbin’s waist tightly and also said seriously, “Brother, don’t worry, I will also try, and try my best to become what you want!”

“No, Xiaoxian.” Gu Nianbin sighed gently. “I told you, you’re fine the way you are now. I like it very much. You don’t need to change. Just be yourself!”
