Chapter 1: A Bastard Abandoned by His Father
“Let me go, please…”
In the luxurious bathroom, the body of the woman was totally covered by that tall and strong shadow.
The man’s breath, with heat and smell of cologne, was spread beside the woman’s cheek.
She tried her best to struggle, but the heat inside the body almost swallowed her, and the man in front of her was the only life-saving straw.
In the end, she gave up and was floating and sinking in such feelings.
“Ah-”
Qin Muxuan suddenly sat up from her bed, with her body still feeling the hurt brought by that heat in the dream!
She drew a deep breath and was at a loss. A small hand grasped her finger slightly. “Dabai, do you have a nightmare once again?”
She turned her head and saw a little and cute kid was seeing her anxiously. Qin Muxuan shook her head and forced a relaxed smile, “get up, or you will be late for school.”
The kindergarten in the north of the city.
A black Bentley stopped in the shade of the tree. The car window rolled down by half and a handsome and almost perfect face appeared.
The man coldly looked at the simple-hearted little faces, but his thinking came back to 5 years ago, when a woman clung to the edge of the bathtub and begged him to let her go with a really sad look.
He should have detested the women who took great pains to be with him, but for her, he just had a strange feeling.
At that moment, the voice of his assistant came up, “Mr. Gu, will we go to pick up the young master?”
“Tomorrow.” Gu Zijin turned his gaze away and rolled up the window.
The man’s dark eyes with tenebrous emotions were also locked in this car.
After a while, the car went away, just with some dust following it.
…
In the dining room of the kindergarten, during the lunch break, all kids queued up, waiting for their lunch. But with the arrival of a boy, the orderly kids became noisy.
“Qin Xiaobai, I want to stand beside you!”
“No, Qin Xiaobai is mine!”
The boy smiled, waved his hand and then went to the end of the queue. The doll-like boy had fair skin, and his eyes were big and black. He was so beautiful and adorable that he was just like the angel.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Lin Xiao had got his meal and he was angrily staring at the rumbustious scene. Then he took his plate and went towards them.
“Bang-“Lin’s plate was totally on Qin Xiaobai’s clothes and the meal smeared his half-sleeved white T-shirt.
“Hey, Qin Xiaobai, watch your step! Why do you dash against me?”
The plate fell on the ground and made a clear sound. Lin Xiao stood akimbo and said in a domineering way, “All my meal spilled on the ground. It is all your fault. You must bring me another one!”
The little boy looked down at his clothes, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
“Hey,” getting no response, Lin Xiao pushed him, “I’m talking to you!”
A child in the queue stood up for Qin Xiaobai. “Obviously it is you…”
“Shut up!” Lin Xiao rudely interrupted his words, “you don’t know who my father is? If you dare provoke me, you will be in trouble!”
Lin’s father was a local senior official, and even the teachers connived at his behaviors due to his father’s power and influence. Therefore, he always bullied others in the kindergarten.
“Just a bastard. How impolite! No wonder your father abandoned you!”
Qin Xiaobai suddenly raised his head and shook his fist to Lin Xiao.
…
After the call, Qin Muxuan asked for leave from work and hurried to the kindergarten.
Qin Xiaobai fought with others, again!
This was the third time in this month.
Why did an obedient boy always fight with others in kindergarten? He was not willing to say the reason.
Qin Muxuan sighed and thought it was lucky that Xiaobai was not injured.
She glanced at today’s newspaper on the car seat, of which the headline was “Gu’s Group Has Made Another Miracle. Exclusive Interview of the Young Entrepreneur Gu Zijin”. Under the title was a picture of a young man in suit with his steps in hurry.
His aristocratic temperament naturally made him the focus even in the crowd.
In particular, his eyes were full of charm as well as coldness and darkness and you couldn’t see anything from them. They were just like two deep pools, which could directly reflect your soul. Just one glance could make others surrender to him.
Qin Muxuan turned her eyes away.
Some people were inborn winners.
But she was just nobody.
They were like the cloud in the sky and the mud in the earth, even they had intimate relations 5 years ago.
…
The teacher liked Qin Xiaobai very much, so when Qin Muxuan arrived to take him home, the teacher kindheartedly gave her advice, “Ms. Qin, Lin Xiao’s parents are officials in the municipal government and his mother is a little unreasonable. So tomorrow when his parents come to the kindergarten, you just need to apologize and better not answer them back,”
Qin Muxuan thanked the teacher and then took Qin Xiaobai home.
On their way home, for the first time, Qin Muxuan didn’t ask him the reason.
After they came into the room, Qin Xiaobai pulled her clothes and said, “I am sorry, Dabai.”
Qin Muxuan crouched down and stared at his eyes. She said softly, “Xiaobai, I know you are not a reckless boy. But you always fight with other kids in the kindergarten. You will make trouble to others, you know? Tomorrow you should apologize to Lin Xiao.”
“No, I won’t.” Qin Xiaobai acted out of his normal behavior, “I will never say sorry to him!”
Qin Muxuan touched his head and said, “Could you please tell me the reason? After all, you hit him first.”
Moreover, the kid was the son of a senior official.
But Qin Muxuan didn’t say the following words. She knew that Xiaobai was too young to understand what a senior official meant. But she understood it all. For many years, she had experienced too much as a single woman with a child.
She was changed a lot and was no longer the girl she used to be. In many cases, she had to tolerate and make concessions.
Qin Xiaobai was tight-lipped and looked down.
“Forget it if you don’t want to say.”
Before Qin Muxuan stood up and left, Xiaobai’s slim shoulder shivered. “They said I am a bastard and no one wants me!”
He didn’t want to trouble Dabai at all.
He knew Dabai was really tired, because they needed a lot of money. Dabai needed to take care of him, and also go out to work to earn money. Therefore, when Lin Xiao threw the plate onto his clothes, he didn’t say anything. But when Lin Xiao called him a bastard and said he was abandoned by his father, he couldn’t forgive Lin.
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan felt her body rigid, as if all blood were frozen.
She wanted to say something to comfort him, but she found that she herself couldn’t move at all, and her eyes became red, full of tears.
Qin Xiaobai rushed into her arms and said in a sobbing tone, “I’m sorry Dabai. I will never say that again!” He tried to stand on tiptoe to wipe her tears.
He regretted saying those words. Dabai was already sad. How could he make her more heartbroken?
Qin Muxuan hugged Xiaobai tightly.
The special smell of boys gave her much consolation instantly. This little kid was her driving force. No matter how hard the challenges were, this child would always give her power.
“Sorry, Xiaobai,” Qin Muxuan burrowed her face into the kid’s shoulder, and her tears couldn’t stop running.
When she found she was pregnant, the baby was already in shape. At first she wanted to have a surgical abortion. But when she arrived at the hospital, she gave up her idea.
It was a young life after all!
But she forgot that she could give the baby a life but she couldn’t give him a happy family.
