The toddler was not afraid of strangers at all. She stretched out her hands and murmured, “Mama, hug.”

Qin Muchen’s face darkened. “I am not your mom.”

“Hug, hug.” The child spread both her arms stubbornly and insisted him to hug her.

Qin Muchen’s lips twitched. “Not hugging.”

“Oo…. I want hug hug… hug… ”

Really! She was good!

At the sight that she was going to cry again, Qin Muchen had no choice but to carry her.

The little toddler in his arms pinched his ears and tugged at his hair with her stubby fingers. She only fell asleep when she was exhausted from playing.

When he was in the Qin family during the short period of six months, he had seen countless dark acts.

Even a child had to do away with his innocence and turn harsh in order to survive.

There was a lot of scheming and plotting. But even when exhausted, he could still meet such a pure and innocent girl.

He cast an accidental glance and took a liking to her.

He knew that she had a very beautiful heart-shaped birthmark on her collarbone.

It was very beautiful and it secured his heart.

…

He was holding onto Gu Shinian very tightly.

Her ears were plastered to his heart. It was beating fiercely, seemingly having a high-frequency heart rate.

“… Qin Muchen, did you dream of her?”

She asked in a low voice.

She endured the pain in her heart and forced a smile.

There was a person in Qin Muchen’s heart. She had found out about this three years ago.

She did not know who that woman was.

However, she must be perfect.

Otherwise, how could she be comparable to Qin Muchen?

No matter how much she yearned for his embrace, Gu Shinian could not feel indifferent about being a substitute for someone else. She could not hypnotize herself.

Hence, she no longer daydreamed.

She gently pulled away from his hands, picked up and put on the clothes on the floor and went to the bathroom.

Standing before the mirror, she saw how unkempt she looked at one glance.

There were many marks on her body. Some of the places were already bruised.

She sighed and slid her fingers across the love bites on her collarbone bitterly. “Did you take me for her when you did that kind of thing?”

If that was the case, then Gu Shinian was really too pitiful.

When Gu Shinian put on her clothes and buttoned her shirt, her fingers suddenly stopped.

She caressed a scar on her collarbone. The scar was formed after a layer of skin was slit away. Most likely, it had been there since she was a child.

She did not know what happened.

When Gu Shinian went to the bathroom, her cell phone rang.

Qin Muchen was startled awake. With a lazy drawl, he unhappily slid his fingers on the screen and picked up the call.

A woman’s voice could be heard coming from the phone. “Gu Shinian, how are you? Young Master Xiao is very satisfied with you. You have such a bad record. It’s exceptional that Young Master Xiao doesn’t shun you. Besides a pretty face, what else do you have? Since you have met such a good man like Xiao Yuan, you should get married as soon as possible.”

“Your dad and I are very satisfied with him.”

Gu Shinian’s foster parents?

Qin Muchen snorted. “You won’t be satisfied with him very soon.”

After hanging up the phone, he threw the cell phone to one side.

Young Master Yuan, right?

Very satisfied, was that so?

Qin Muchen grabbed his cell phone and made a call to Jing Yu. “One million yuan. I give you half an hour’s time to transform the Xiao Corporation to a public restroom.”

“If you can’t do it, bring your head to see me.”

The president-turned-toilet director. He wanted to see who would feel satisfied with him!

…

“Crap! Crap! Crap! Qin Muchen is mad!”

When Jing Yu picked up the call, he clasped his hair a few times sullenly. He only stopped when his hair turned into a bird’s nest.
