Chapter 61 - The Birthday Present I Want The Most Is You

Gu Nianbin hesitated for two seconds before finally answering the phone. However, a moment later, he frowned and said okay, then hung up the phone. He looked up at his apartment’s window again, then turned the car and sped away.

Xia Xiaowan had a car accident. The kindhearted person who was passing by wanted to help inform her family. The person checked the contacts list on Xia Xiaowan’s phone and found the first contact person was Gu Nianbin, so he called Gu Nianbin.

When Gu Nianbin arrived, the traffic police also arrived. Just as the traffic police asked about the situation, the ambulance arrived. Gu Nianbin drove his car and followed the ambulance to the hospital and stayed outside the emergency room. Looking at the scarlet light on the door of the emergency room, he frowned. He didn’t know if Xia Xiaowan’s car accident had anything to do with what he said.

In his impression, Xia Xiaowan was a cheerful and generous girl, independent and assertive. Moreover, they weren’t officially in love, so she shouldn’t give up her life for a relationship that hadn’t even begun, right?

Xia Xiaowan’s car crashed into the roadside flower bed, which then caused the car accident. The field investigation was very clear. It seemed the car had suddenly lost control and crashed into the flower bed. The traffic police said that the driver did not drink wine, so it was estimated that the car had suddenly lost control itself. The exact reason needed to be further investigated. There was no attribution of liability involved, so the traffic police did not come to the hospital. Gu Nianbin sat outside the door alone and waited quietly.

About an hour later, the door finally opened. The doctor came out and told him that the wounded person had hit her head and was still unconscious, but her life was not in danger. Then the doctor told Gu Nianbin to pay for the hospitalization.

Gu Nianbin heaved a sigh of relief. He went to the window to pay the fee, and then used Xia Xiaowan’s mobile phone to inform her family. He checked the time on his watch. It was past nine o’clock in the evening, and it wasn’t too late. He planned to wait for Xia Xiaowan’s family to arrive before leaving. In the hospital bed, Xia Xiaowan was quietly asleep. Her face was pale and her head was wrapped in white gauze, but her face looked very peaceful.

Gu Nianbin sat quietly for half an hour. Xia Xiaowan’s family hurried over and expressed their gratitude to him. They then asked what his name was. Gu Nianbin only said his surname was Gu. When Xia Xiaowan’s mother heard that, her eyes widened. “You’re Xiaowan’s …”

“Xiaowan and I are ordinary friends,” Gu Nianbin said, “a passer-by called me using Xiaowan’s phone so I came. Since you’re here, uncle, aunt, I’ll leave first.”

Hearing what he said, Xia Xiaowan’s parents didn’t know how to react for a moment, so they could only watch him leave.

Mother Xia asked, “Is he Gu Nianbin?”

Father Xia nodded. “It’s him. I didn’t deal with him before, but I’ve seen his picture. It should be him.”

Mother Xia asked curiously, “Why did he say that he and Xiaowan are ordinary friends？Aren’t they dating?”

Father Xia shook his head. “Looks like they’ve broken up.”

Mother Xia suddenly gave a gasp of astonishment. “Is that why Xiaowan got into the car accident?” As she spoke, she began to regret it and continued, “I should have kept him.”

“Forget it.” Father Xia looked at his sleeping daughter. “Let’s talk about it when Xiaowan wakes up.”

When Gu Nianbin returned home, it was already ten o’clock. The room was very quiet. He changed his shoes at the entrance and quietly walked into the room. Du Xiaoxian leaned sideways against the bedside, her eyes closed, and looked like she was asleep. There was a fairy tale book on her stomach.

Gu Nianbin couldn’t help but laugh. He gently removed the book and pushed aside the broken hair hanging down on her face. Looking at the little girl’s smooth skin, he gently kissed her.

Du Xiaoxian’s eyelids twitched. She opened her eyes with some difficulty. When she saw that it was him, she immediately smiled and supported herself to sit up. Gu Nianbin held her in his arms and sniffed the fragrance on her head. “Have you washed your hair?”

“Yes.” Du Xiaoxian held his neck in her arms and asked like a spoiled child, “Why did you come back so late?”

“A friend of mine had a car accident. I went to the hospital to see her, so I was late.”

“Was it serious?” Du Xiaoxian opened her eyes wide and looked at him. “How could there be a car accident?”

“I don’t know either.” Gu Nianbin stroked her hair. “But she has already passed the critical period, so she should be fine after staying in the hospital for a few days.”

Du Xiaoxian did not speak anymore. She felt a little sad in her heart. She did not understand why a person would suddenly have a car accident. She said to Gu Nianbin and sounded a little worried due to her imaginary fears, “Brother, you must be careful when driving!”

Gu Nianbin laughed and pinched her face. “Little girl, you’re thinking too much!”

Actually, Du Xiaoxian rarely thought of long-term matters. However, someone had just encountered a car accident, and she was put in a bad mood, then she thought that it might happen to Gu Nianbin. She had no other requirements, only hoped that her young master would be safe and healthy, and everything he did would go well.

“Just sleep. I’m going to take a shower.” Gu Nianbin placed her on the bed, covered her with the blanket, and was about to leave. Then Du Xiaoxian held his hand and smiled shyly. “I’m waiting for you!”

Hearing this, Gu Nianbin’s heart heated up. He bent over and asked her, “What are you waiting for me to do?”

“Sleep!” Du Xiaoxian said very naturally. She really didn’t have any other thoughts, but Gu Nianbin’s mind was full of erotic thoughts. He laughed loudly and pinched her nose. “What’s the hurry?”

Although Du Xiaoxian was not experienced, she could understand what he was laughing about. She hurriedly explained, “No, I didn’t mean that. I just want to …”

“I know,” Gu Nianbin continued to tease her, “you want to sleep with me!”

Du Xiaoxian wanted to say yes, but she felt that Gu Nianbin didn’t mean what she meant, and she was so anxious that she gasped for breath.

His little girl was too adorable. Gu Nianbin lay on the bed and suddenly didn’t want to take a shower. He picked up the fairy tale book and asked, “To which part have you read?”

“The story of the sleeping beauty.” Du Xiaoxian liked cartoons and fairy tales. She liked all kinds of children’s things. Even when he bought a doll of furry bear in the supermarket for her, she would be extremely happy. Every time Gu Nianbin saw her joyful appearance, his heart would sink a little. How did a little girl without a childhood grow up?

“Well, tell me about this story.”

Du Xiaoxian cleared her throat and began to tell the story. Her memory was very good. She could basically memorize the content from beginning to end after reading it once. Gu Nianbin closed the book and looked down at her. As long as she wasn’t afraid, her voice would be very clear and melodious. She told him the story happily in great details.

There was only a small lamp at the bedside, and her eyes shone in the light, as if the light had burst out from her eyes and shone everywhere. Every time when she focused on something, there would be an unusual light in her eyes, and it made her so attractive that Gu Nianbin couldn’t move his eyes off her.

He did not know when he had fallen in love with her. Perhaps it was just because he thought she was pitiful at first, or perhaps he was moved by her attentive way of sweeping the floor when he stood at the window. He just sympathized with her, took pity on her, and wanted to help her and give her a better life. Later on, he wanted to rewrite her life and make her independent and brave.

As he did more and more, becoming more and more unable to help himself, and as his sympathy gradually turned into affection, or even doting on her, he realized that he might have fallen in love with her. But then, his first reaction was to alienate her and keep a distance from her. He was used to keeping a distance from others, so it was not difficult for him to do that, until that night. When he was looking for her crazily that night, he saw his own heart and could not ignore his feelings anymore. It was said that your heart was the most difficult to control, and Gu Nianbin lost to his own heart, but he found his happiness.

After Du Xiaoxian finished telling the story, Gu Nianbin finally went to take a shower. Every time when he was taking a shower, he was always conflicted in his heart. They had lived together for so long and slept together every night, but he had never touched her. He understood that she was young, and she was thin and weak, but he was a healthy man who had sexual needs. His beloved woman lay in his arms night after night, but he couldn’t touch her. How could it be like that?

For several times, he couldn’t control the flames of burning desire in his body and almost lost control of himself, but at the critical moment, he got up and took a cold shower. Gu Nianbin restrained himself with a kind of perseverance like an ascetic monk. When he really couldn’t help it, he thought, should they sleep in separate rooms?

He didn’t know if the body structure of the male and female was different. His little girl was hugged by his fiery body, but she didn’t react at all. She always slept very soundly. Gu Nianbin thought of Du Xiaoxian’s sleeping face that was like a child and couldn’t help but laugh again.

When he returned to the room, he found that Du Xiaoxian lay straight and looked at the ceiling in a daze without doing anything. Gu Nianbin dried his wet hair and asked her, “What are you thinking?”

“Brother, it’s one of my classmates’ birthday tomorrow. She invited me to attend her birthday party. Can I go?”

“Of course.” Gu Nianbin was not an old-fashioned person. Making more friends was good for Du Xiaoxian. “Have you prepared a present?”

Du Xiaoxian sighed and said, “That’s what bothers me. What should I give her?”

Under Gu Nianbin’s guidance, Du Xiaoxian’s concept of money had undergone a tremendous change. Just like Gu Nianbin said, as long as she didn’t check the number when she spent the money, she wouldn’t have any difficulty swiping the card. She was originally a generous person, and she would always give whatever her friends asked for, so Yang Liying and the other two classmates were still very close to her. This time, it was Wang Qian’s eighteenth birthday, so she specially invited Du Xiaoxian to her party. Wang Qian had implied to Du Xiaoxian several times that the gift must not be too shabby.

Du Xiaoxian had never given a gift before, so she didn’t know what it could be considered as “not shabby”.

Du Xiaoxian asked, “Can I give her a long-haired rabbit?”

Gu Nianbin laughed. “If she were three or five years old, you could consider giving her that. But it won’t be suitable to give a long-haired rabbit to an eighteen-year-old friend.”

Du Xiaoxian asked again, “Then what should I give her? What about food?”

Gu Nianbin threw away the towel and sat down on the bed. He held the little girl in his arms and kissed her. “Don’t worry about this. Leave it to me. I’ll prepare the gift tomorrow and have Xiaoding send it to your school.”

Du Xiaoxian was relieved. Having the omnipotent Young Master with her, she really didn’t need to worry about anything. She obediently shrank in his arms and closed her eyes to sleep.

Gu Nianbin gently stroked her back and asked, “Xiaoxian, what gift are you going to give me for my birthday?”

Du Xiaoxian thought for a long time and was at a loss. Young Master didn’t seem to lack anything …

Thinking about it over and over again, she said, “I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Gu Nianbin chuckled and said, “The birthday present I want the most is you. Will you give yourself to me?”

When Du Xiaoxian heard this, she said disapprovingly, “I am yours!” She spoke it so casually and naturally, as if it were an unalterable principle. She was very confident about what she had just said. President Gu could only look at the ceiling and cry without tears. The erotic thoughts in his mind slowly disappeared. His little girl was too innocent, wasn’t she?
