C106 She Wants to be My Stepmother
When Old Madame Gu heard that Qin Xiaobai had run away from home, she was both anxious and angry. She almost fainted. Under Mrs. Gu's support, she did not even support her walking stick. She started to curse at Qin Muxuan. "How did you become a mother? I should not have let you enter the Gu family back then. Look what kind of trouble you are causing now!"
While cursing, Old Madame Gu grabbed the clothes on her chest and panted desperately. Qin Xiaobai was her good great-grandson who was afraid of melting even when she held him in her hands. When she found out that he ran away from home, she was so scared that she could not even breathe.
"Mom! Calm down!"
Mrs. Gu saw that Old Madame Gu's situation was not good and quickly comforted her softly, "Don't worry. I have already sent many people to look for him in the vicinity. They will definitely find him. Mom, go back to your room to rest first. Don't scare your body."
Mrs. Gu gave Nanny Chen a look and Nanny Chen immediately understood and walked over to support Old Madame Gu.
Old Madame Gu hatefully glared at Qin Muxuan who was in a daze and tremblingly went back to her room to rest.
Qin Muxuan's head was currently buzzing and she was imagining the danger that Little White might encounter. Qin Xiaobai's cries kept echoing in her ears and her entire body was trembling. She turned around and was about to rush towards the door but her wrist was grabbed by Gu Zijin.
"Let go. I want to go out and find Little White!"
Qin Muxuan was out of her mind. She wanted to struggle away from Gu Zijin's big hand. "It's so late. Little White must be very scared when it's alone outside!"
As she spoke, Qin Muxuan's eyes gradually became teary.
"Calm down first!"
Gu Zijin's calm voice gradually calmed her panic. He held Qin Muxuan's shoulder and said seriously, "Calm down first. I am also anxious. You go out now and search without any clues. If anything happens, Lil 'White will blame himself."
No matter what happened, Gu Zijin was always calm and steady. It made people feel at peace.
When Qin Muxuan heard these words, her originally turbid brain gradually became clear. She raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears and said in a low voice, "I have calmed down."
"Now think about where Little White ran when he was the most unhappy. We will follow this direction and find him."
Gu Zijin saw that Qin Muxuan had finally calmed down. He continued in a low voice, "Don't worry, Little White will be fine. I'll go with you to find him."
After careful consideration, Gu Zijin decided to go with Qin Muxuan to find Qin Xiaobai personally. Because he thought Little White wouldn't go too far away. If it went too far, it might make Little White nervous and deliberately not appear, which would increase the difficulty of searching out of thin air.
Qin Muxuan nodded vigorously. At the same time, as if she was seeking comfort, she held Gu Zijin's warm big hand.
"I'll go too."
Mrs. Gu was restless, but her suggestion was rejected by Gu Zijin.
"No. Mom, you stay at home. If Little White comes back, we need someone familiar to stay with him."
Seeing Gu Zijin's determination, Mrs. Gu compromised. "Alright." She paused and continued, "You guys have to be careful."
"I know."
The two of them walked out of the Gu residence and came to a small park not far away. This park was where Qin Xiaobai liked to play when he came back from kindergarten.
The two of them searched the park but could not find Qin Xiaobai.
"Let's split up and search." Qin Muxuan saw that this was not going to work, so she suggested to Gu Zijin, "This is faster."
Seeing Qin Muxuan's determination, Gu Zijin nodded and agreed. "Okay, find Lil 'White and contact him."
The two of them split up and acted separately. Qin Muxuan searched in her mind many places that Qin Xiaobai might have gone to and even the places that he passed by. She still did not see Qin Xiaobai's figure.
"Little White, where are you?"
The panic that was suppressed to the bottom of her heart surged up again.
Fear surged towards her like a tide, almost drowning her whole body. She could not even breathe. Qin Muxuan stretched out her hand to support herself against the wall and slowly squatted on the ground. She panted with difficulty and tears gushed out like a spring.0
After splitting up with Qin Muxuan, Gu Zijin calmed down and began to think about where Qin Xiaobai could go.
A child ran out in the middle of the night. After being impulsive, he would be afraid and afraid of the darkness. He instinctively wanted to find a place with light.
Gu Zijin slowly walked to a small supermarket a few hundred meters away from the Gu family. The supermarket was open twenty-four hours a day. When he walked in, he heard the salesperson whispering comforting words.
"Little friend, don't be afraid. Tell uncle where your house is and uncle will take you back, okay? Eat lollipops?"
Qin Xiaobai sobbed and took the lollipop from the salesperson's hand. He thanked him hoarsely, "Thank you, uncle."
The salesperson could not help laughing when he saw how polite Qin Xiaobai was. "You're welcome." Then, he noticed the people entering the supermarket. In the blink of an eye, he saw a man in dark blue pajamas slowly walking over.
The man's face was cold. When he saw Qin Xiaobai, a trace of gentleness unconsciously appeared in his eyes, but there was a trace of anger mixed in with his voice. "Qin Xiaobai."
Qin Xiaobai's entire body stiffened when he heard that. He turned his head and said in a daze, "Dad...?" As he spoke, he took a step back.
"Come here."
It was a lie that Gu Zijin said he was not angry. He softened his tone and said, "Little White, the family is very worried about you now."
Qin Xiaobai also knew that he was helpless as he pulled the corner of his clothes. He walked to Gu Zijin's side and let him hug him. Gu Zijin looked at the salesperson and nodded solemnly. "Thank you for taking my son in temporarily."
"No, you're welcome." The salesperson stared blankly as Gu Zijin carried Qin Xiaobai away. He wondered if this father and son seemed very familiar. ...
Qin Xiaobai wrapped his arms around Gu Zijin's neck. Tears kept flowing out of his black and white eyes. The moment he ran out, he regretted it. He could not find his way back when he wanted to.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Gu Zijin asked in a deep voice. Qin Xiaobai's crying behavior was unusual.
Qin Xiaobai wiped his tears and said, "Dad, are you going to be engaged to Auntie Yan?"
Gu Zijin frowned. "Who told you this?"
"Auntie Yan said she would be my stepmother in the future."
Gu Zijin understood. He was furious but did not show it on his face. He comforted Qin Xiaobai on the back and explained firmly, "I cannot be engaged to Auntie Yan. Auntie Yan lied to you."
When Qin Xiaobai heard that, his tears stopped. "Really?"
"When did dad lie to you?"
"No."
Qin Xiaobai shook his head.
"I'll go with you to find my mother."
Gu Zijin sensed Qin Xiaobai's thoughts. He stared into Qin Xiaobai's eyes and said, "When we find her, we must apologize to her. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Qin Xiaobai nodded heavily. His heart was full of regret. Why would he be bewitched by Auntie Yan's words to argue with his mother?
When he thought that Big Bai might be sad because of this, Qin Xiaobai's heart ached.
The two of them followed the street lamps and looked in Qin Muxuan's direction. Suddenly, they heard an ear-piercing sound of brakes.
