Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 92
Chapter 92 I Will Never Drive You Away
When Gu Nianbin entered the house, Du Xiaoxian had just taken a shower and came out of the bathroom. When she heard the door ring, she quickly ran over to take a look.
Gu Nianbin stood at the entrance with a red face. He opened his arms to his little girl and Du Xiaoxian pounced into his embrace like a happy bird.
The little girl had a nice smell of bath gel on her. President Gu smelled it and felt something restless in his heart. He couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss her. Du Xiaoxian struggled to push him. “You smell of heavy alcohol!”
Gu Nianbin smiled and said, “How dare you talk about me like that?” He wanted to pester her even more. Du Xiaoxian slipped down with her small body and broke free from his embrace, running into the hall.
Gu Nianbin chased after her while making threatening gestures. He was a calm person. It was rare for him to play with her like this. Because he was happy, he drank a few more wine today. Alcohol made him very excited. Besides, Du Xiaoxian was getting more and livelier in front of him, as if she wanted to relive her depressed childhood once more. As she ran, she laughed and screamed. The two of them had a lot of fun.
After circling the tea table for a few rounds, Gu Nianbin finally threw the little girl onto the sofa like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey. He raised his chin, which had already burst out with the stubble, as a sign to sting Du Xiaoxian in the face. The little girl screamed and giggled, her face flushed red, and her black and white eyes shining as if they had been washed. Gu Nianbin’s heart flipped when he saw this and he was about to lower his head to kiss her. At this critical moment, a knock suddenly sounded.
Both of them were stunned. Who would come so late?
Du Xiaoxian pushed Gu Nianbin and whispered, “Who would it be?”
Gu Nianbin shook his head with confusion and walked over to open the door. It turned out to be the security guard in the apartment. Because they made too much noise and disturbed the neighbors upstairs, they called to complain.
Gu Nianbin hurriedly said sorry and politely sent the security guard off. After closing the door and turning around, he saw that Du Xiaoxian hid by the wall and was smiling at him. Gu Nianbin also felt that it was funny. It was so embarrassing for him who had come to such a mature age to be complained about disturbing the neighbors!
He walked over and glared at her. “It’s all because of you!”
Du Xiaoxian chuckled. She was now more and more not afraid of him and could even distinguish between his expression and tone. She knew that he was a paper tiger at this moment, so she jumped onto Gu Nianbin and wrapped her arms around his neck. Du Xiaoxian had a petite figure and her entire body was hanging upon him. Gu Nianbin could only pick her up and he patted her butt conveniently. “Will you talk about me like that again?”
Du Xiaoxian pouted and gently kissed the man’s lips. “No, never.”
Gu Nianbin sat down with her in his arms and asked, “What if I get old in the future? I’m so much older than you. When I get old, you’re still very young. Will you dislike me?”
When he was old… Du Xiaoxian imagined Gu Nianbin’s appearance when he had white hair, and she suddenly had an irritating sensation in the nose. She could not bear to imagine that such a handsome young master would one day turn into a white-haired old man. This fact seemed to be a little unacceptable to her.
She touched Gu Nianbin’s face, her fingers stroking past his smooth forehead, his upright eyebrows, and his high nose… How could such a face grow old? She sniffed bitterly and said, “Don’t get old. I don’t want you to get old.”
“Silly girl,” Gu Nianbin put her hand on his face, “everyone will grow old!”
“Even if you get old, in my heart, brother, you’ll always be as good-looking as you are now,” said Du Xiaoxian seriously with her eyes wide open.
“When I get old and become ugly, you will dislike me.”
“No, as long as you don’t drive me away, I will always be by your side. No matter what you become, I like you as much as I do now.” Du Xiaoxian leaned into his embrace.
“Why would I drive you away?” Gu Nianbin kissed her on the hair. “You are my treasure, I will never drive you away.”
Was that really going to happen? Even if he got married, he wouldn’t kick her out? Could she still be with him every day like she was now? Would Miss Xia agree with that?
Du Xiaoxian’s mind was in a mess. She could not figure it out clearly. She hugged Gu Nianbin’s neck and rubbed her head against it. She closed her eyes and said, “Brother, I want to sleep.”
“Alright, let’s go to sleep.” Gu Nianbin carried her into the room, put her on the bed, and pulled the quilt to cover her.
Du Xiaoxian opened her eyes and smiled at him. Then she closed them again, but the smile at the corners of her mouth continued to extend.
“Be good, go to sleep quickly.” Gu Nianbin lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the forehead before turning around and leaving the room. He went back to his room to get his pajamas to take a shower. When he came back, he found the little girl hiding under his quilt and shrinking into herself. At first glance, it looked like there was no one there.
He deliberately pretended not to notice her. He wiped his dripping hair with a dry towel and walked around the room. However, his eyes were glancing at the person under the quilt. She was trembling slightly, either because she was nervous or because it was too stuffy inside.
Gu Nianbin threw the towel on the table and quietly walked to the bedside. With a fierce tug on the quilt, he heard that Du Xiaoxian couldn’t help but exclaim in alarm. But she shrunk herself even tighter, with her hands and feet shrunk into a ball.
Gu Nianbin picked up her small body and asked, “What do you want to do?”
Du Xiaoxian blushed and murmured like a mosquito, “I, I want to sleep with you.”
Gu Nianbin smiled and said, “No, we’ve already agreed. You can’t keep breaking the agreement.”
Du Xiaoxian buried her face in his neck and rubbed her head against it, acting like a spoiled child shamelessly. “I want to sleep with you.”
Her hair was fluffy and pricked his face, which was a little itchy, and her warm breathing was even itchier when being sprayed on his neck, causing even his heart to itch. He had drunk a lot of wine tonight. The alcohol burned him to excitement. His blood was boiling. The little girl in his arms was so delicious that she emitted an alluring fragrance. Gu Nianbin closed his eyes and turned over the person in his arms to press her onto the bed before spanking her butt three times. “Slap, slap, slap.”
Du Xiaoxian cried out in pain. He ignored her and sent her back to her room without giving her any chance to speak. Finally, he still managed to restrain himself. Even if he drank wine, even if he was so excited, and even if his emotion disagreed with his reason, he still hadn’t lost his mind.
The little girl was a little aggrieved and pursed her lips, not looking at him. He sat down and coaxed her gently, “Good girl, go to bed early. Didn’t you want to climb Yuefeng Mountain? Let’s go tomorrow, okay?”
Hearing this, Du Xiaoxian was immediately happy. She rarely had the chance to go out and play with Gu Nianbin. The last time when they went to Yuefeng Mountain, they drove up at night. So she said that she wanted to climb the mountain again in the future. She was just saying, and she didn’t expect it to be realized so soon. She was so happy that she threw herself over and kissed Gu Nianbin. Then, she obediently lay under the quilt. “Brother, go rest quickly. Don’t sleep late tomorrow!”
“Okay,” Gu Nianbin leaned over and kissed her forehead, “good night, baby.”
“Good night.” Du Xiaoxian obediently closed her eyes.
Gu Nianbin walked gently to the door and turned off the light. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard Du Xiaoxian ask him very softly, “Brother, will we always be together?”
“Yes, of course,” said Gu Nianbin with certainty. He stood there quietly for two seconds. Seeing that she was no longer speaking, he closed the door.
Although the road ahead was unclear, Gu Nianbin had always been very confident in this point. As long as Du Xiaoxian did not leave, then no one would be able to take her away from him, no one, including his parents!
Sunday was a pleasant autumn day. In this kind of weather, there were more people who came to climb the mountain than usual. Many of them came for picnics on the mountain with their families and with food bags on their backs.
Du Xiaoxian wore an orange climbing suit, soft-soled climbing shoes, and a blue baseball cap. Her tall ponytail swayed around her head, making her look both youthful and lively. She was accustomed to running about in the mountains when she was a child. It was not difficult for her to walk in the mountain path. However, Gu Nianbin, who was young and vigorous, almost could not keep up with her pace and would occasionally ask her to slow down.
As soon as he called, she would stop and turn to wave at him. Her orange figure was very eye-catching in the crowd. Gu Nianbin looked at the orange figure and his eyes were full of smiles. Du Xiaoxian was no longer the dull and timid little girl when she first came to him. She became brave, lively and full of spirits. She laughed heartily with clear and crisp laughter along the way. She was so lively and attractive that the surrounding people also looked at her with admiration. Gu Nianbin was somewhat pleased. He tightened his backpack and followed up.
Halfway up the mountain, they left the main road and turned to take the mountain path. The path was under the shade of trees and there weren’t many people, so it was much quieter.
At this moment, Du Xiaoxian slowed down and walked with Gu Nianbin. The mountain road was rugged, and Young Master was carrying a big backpack, so she was quite worried about him. After all, he was a noble Young Master. How could he compare with a girl who grew up in the mountains like her?
She reached out for the backpack on Gu Nianbin’s back. “You’ve been carrying it for so long, it’s my turn to carry it,”
Gu Nianbin laughingly grabbed her thin arm and shook it. “You want to carry a backpack with such a thin arm? Forget it.”
“Brother, you look down on me!” Du Xiaoxian’s nose started to sweat. She reached out and wiped it.
Gu Nianbin took out a napkin and handed it over to her, asking, “Where’s your handkerchief? Don’t you always carry it?”
When he mentioned it, Du Xiaoxian remembered that the handkerchief was given to Cheng Mingchi. She said, “The handkerchief was given to someone.”
Somehow Gu Nianbin immediately remembered that in the photo, the boy called Cheng Mingchi wiped the corners of Du Xiaoxian’s mouth, and it seemed he was using a handkerchief. His heart sank and he calmly asked, “Who did you give it to?”
“A friend,” Du Xiaoxian said, “he helped me.”
Gu Nianbin looked at Du Xiaoxian’s calm appearance, and the doubts that had just gathered in his heart slowly dissipated. But he hesitated and still pretended to ask casually, “Do I know that friend?”
Du Xiaoxian didn’t hide anything from Gu Nianbin and said, “You don’t know him. His name is Cheng Mingchi. He’s a boy.”
Gu Nianbin purposely said with a sullen face, “Have you forgotten the rules again? How can you be with a boy…?”
“No,” Du Xiaoxian hurriedly explained and told Gu Nianbin about the matter that Cheng Mingchi saved her, “he saved me and even bled. So I used my handkerchief to stop his bleeding. Mother once said that when someone helped you, you should thank the person with great gratitude. I only gave him a handkerchief.”
So he was her life saver. No wonder Du Xiaoxian did not reject Cheng Mingchi. Although Du Xiaoxian had told him the whole story very frankly, Gu Nianbin was still a little jealous in his heart. He said, “Xiaoxian, if something like this happens to you again, tell me and I will thank the other party. Did you hear me? Since we should thank those who offer us a hand with great gratitude, of course we should show our sincerity. We shouldn’t give a handkerchief or something like that as a return.”
“Okay.” Du Xiaoxian didn’t overthink about it and nodded obediently. She pointed to a flat grass not far away and said, “Let’s go sit over there.”
Gu Nianbin agreed. He took her over, took off his backpack, spread out the picnic cloth, and then took out all the food and placed them on the cloth bit by bit. Looking at the colorful food with exquisite packaging, Du Xiaoxian opened her eyes wide in surprise. Gu Nianbin laughed and said, “Obviously you’ve selected all the food yourself, but now you act like this is the first time you’ve seen them. You’ve also learned to pretend.”
Du Xiaoxian said righteously, “But they are placed here and looked of a different feeling!”
Gu Nianbin pinched her nose and handed her the water. “You’re arguing!”
