Chapter 370: The Merry-Go-Around
Sure enough, apart from the staff, there seemed to be only four tourists in the amusement park. Everyone who saw Gu Zijin looked reverent and respectful.
After all, even if they didn’t know who Gu Zijin was, the person who was rich enough to book the entire amusement park couldn’t possibly be a nobody.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
After Xiaoxin got out of the car, Gu Zijin held her in his arms, as if he was afraid that she would be tired from walking just one step.
Looking at how Xiaoxin was looking around in Gu Zijin’s arms, Qin Muxuan felt a little helpless, “Gu Zijin, put Xiaoxin down and let her walk by herself.”
Gu Zijin was somewhat unwilling, “Xiaoxin, do you want to walk yourself?”
Xiaoxin hesitated for a moment and nodded. “I can leave on my own. Papa will get tired from carrying me all the time.”
When he heard the first half of what she said, Gu Zijin’s face looked a little gloomy. But the second half of what she said made him cheerful and he carefully put Xiaoxin down.
Xiaoxin came back to her senses from her excitement and asked with doubt, “Papa, why are there no other people here?”
Gu Zijin explained softly, “Because Papa has booked the entire amusement park today, so you can play whatever you want.”
Xiaoxin actually didn’t understand what he meant by booking the entire amusement park. “Then, we don’t have to line up?” Xiaoxin really hated lining up whenever she came to the amusement park.
Gu Zijin nodded. “You don’t have to line up. You can play whatever you want.”
Xiaoxin cheered and got away from Gu Zijin to grab Xiaobai’s hand. “Brother, let’s go play!”
Qin Muxuan interrupted, “Xiaoxin, you can only go to the children’s playground.”
Xiaoxin nodded and dragged Xiaobai and started to run happily. Though she was running, because of her young age, Xiaobai still needed to slow down a bit to wait for her.
Qin Muxuan could feel the joy of the two from just looking at their backs. She could not help but smile. She had felt a sense of satisfaction that she had never had before.
Gu Zijin did not follow Xiaoxin. After all, there were no other tourists here so there wouldn’t be any accidents.
Gu Zijin walked to Qin Muxuan’s side, “Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink something?”
Qin Muxuan had already gotten used to Gu Zijin being so nice to her, so she didn’t feel as surprised and uncomfortable as she did before. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. We’ll ask Xiaobai and Xiaoxin if they need to drink anything later.”
Gu Zijin nodded.
When the two finally caught up with Xiaobai and Xiaoxin, the two kids had already sat on the merry-go-round but the equipment hadn’t started yet.
When she saw Qin Muxuan coming over, Xiaoxin waved excitedly, “Mommy, quickly take a picture for me. Take a really nice one!”
Qin Muxuan smiled and made an “OK” gesture with the look of “you can count on me”.
Qin Muxuan turned on her phone, and Xiaoxin and Xiaobai’s smiles were put in this small frame. It looked so warm and beautiful that it didn’t feel like reality.
To be honest, Qin Muxuan had never dared to think about this scene of a happy family reunion in the past few years, but now it really happened, and the softness in her eyes became even greater.
Gu Zijin quietly looked at Qin Muxuan’s side face and felt that it was unbelievably beautiful. He even had the impulse to reach out and touch it. And that was exactly what he did.
Feeling Gu Zijin’s cold fingers touching her face, Qin Muxuan was stunned and turned to look at him in confusion, “What are you doing?”
Gu Zijin smirked, his eyes looking clear, “There was something on your face.”
Fine, Qin Muxuan believed it and turned around to continue taking photos.
“Do you want to play?” After a few seconds, Gu Zijin spoke again.
Qin Muxuan couldn’t quite follow him. “What?”
“You know, the merry-go-round.”
Qin Muxuan glanced at Gu Zijin and shook her head. “No, it’s a little childish.” In fact, since her mother passed away, Qin Muxuan had never played the merry-go-round because no one would be there to ttake pictures of her anymore.
Gu Zijin raised his eyebrows as if he had heard a joke, “Aren’t you childish?”
Qin Muxuan instantly became speechless and rolled her eyes in her heart. Did he know how to talk properly or not?
“You’re childish. No one is more childish than you!” Qin Muxuan muttered.
She didn’t know if Gu Zijin heard that or not, but he just continued to ask, “Then what do you like? The Roller coaster, the sledgehammer, the swing or the Ferris Wheel? ”
Qin Muxuan felt that Gu Zijin was getting more and more talkative, “President Gu, you know so much about it. I thought you’ve never been to an amusement park.”
Of course, Gu Zijin heard the sarcasm in Qin Muxuan’s tone, but he felt that his temper was getting better and better. He didn’t have any signs of anger at all and continued to urge, “Come on, what do you like?”
Qin Muxuan thought about all of those in her mind helplessly. She had always been afraid of being up high above the ground, so she didn’t dare to try any of those.
Qin Muxuan rubbed her ears and said embarrassingly, “I’ll just play the merry-go-round.”
Gu Zijin raised his eyebrows and quickly he responded, “Are you afraid of being up high in the sky?”
Gu Zijin had seen through Qin Muxuan, which made her feel even more embarrassing. “Gu Zijin, don’t say that out loud, okay?”
Seeing the embarrassment on Qin Muxuan’s face, Gu Zijin felt inexplicably happy. He nodded and said, “Okay, you’ll play the merry-go-round next round. And I’ll take pictures for you.”
Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment. She felt that she really couldn’t keep up with Gu Zijin’s train of thoughts. Did he just arrange a merry-go-round ride for her?
Qin Muxuan was about to refuse, but Xiaoxin and Xiaobai had just come down after finishing their round.
Xiaoxin looked as if she hadn’t gotten enough of it. She pulled at Qin Muxuan and wanted to play again, “Mommy, I want to have a ride again. Come with me!”
Qin Muxuan had no chance to refute at all. She subconsciously looked at Gu Zijin for help, but Gu Zijin said as if he was coaxing a child, “Go ahead.”
Fine, Qin Muxuan accepted her fate and was pulled up and into the carousel by Xiaobai and Xiaoxin.
The merry-go-round started to turn, and strangely enough, Qin Muxuan’s mood changed from rejection and helplessness to total relaxation. She seemed to have returned to her childhood when she was the carefree young lady of the Qin Family.
Gu Zijin didn’t know how to take pictures, so he unskillfully turned on the camera. Seeing Qin Muxuan’s warm smile on the screen, Gu Zijin was stunned. His hand reacted faster than his brain and pressed the button to capture the scene.
This scene also stayed in Gu Zijin’s heart.
