Chapter 427: Retirement (The End)
Though Xia Xingcheng said that, when she washing her face and brushing her teethc, she immediately lay in the bed, but she couldn’t sleep anymore.
She tossed and turned in bed, and she became more and more energetic.
Gu Zijin stretched out his long arms and held her firmly. He said in a dangerous tone, “Since you can’t sleep, why don’t we do something interesting to pass the time?”
Qin Muxuan struggled. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and she pushed him away. “Stop it. I’m just too touched.”
“What for?”
Qin Muxuan raised her head and looked at his face which looked even more handsome under the dim moonlight. She couldn’t help but raise her hand and gently stroke it.
“The way…you proposed to me.”
“I once imagined in what kind of situation you would propose to me. But, after all those things that had happened, the fantasy gradually became an extravagant hope.”
“Later on, this hope was buried deep in my heart and I never thought of it again.”
Qin Muxuan said as she recalled. Whether the past was good or bad, they went through it together. It was a part of their lives.
Gu Zijin also thought of what had happened in the past. He couldn’t help but scold himself while feeling distressed.
He hugged Qin Muxuan even tighter, as if he wanted to merge her into his flesh and his blood.
“Muxuan,” Gu Zijin’s voice was low and hoarse as he talked by Qin Muxuan’s ear, “Can you forget those unhappy memories from the past?”
There was a deep pain in his eyes which made Qin Muxuan panicked.
Actually, she didn’t think too much about it. She said those words just because she felt very happy.
Gu Zijin buried his head in her neck and continued, “Just remember those happy ones. Whatever it was that made you unhappy, forget them all.”
Qin Muxuan instantly became soft-hearted and she replied urgently, “Okay, Zijin, I’ll do as you say.”
Gu Zijin stared at her affectionately, and then he kissed her forehead. “From now on, what awaits you will be a grand and wonderful wedding. This time, I will not disappoint you.”
“Okay.”
Qin Muxuan believed in him.
The two of them slept together and enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful night.
“Come have a look. How do I look in this dress?”
Gu Zijin was ready to get changed when Qin Muxuan asked him that question.
She was wearing a blue outfit with smooth lines. It flattered her beautiful curves by following her body’s outline perfectly.
Gu Zijin looked at her and unconsciously touched the dress with his right hand, as if he was reminiscing about the touch he had felt before.
“You look great in it,” he smiled and walked over to hug Qin Muxuan.
“You’re going to announce it today?”
Qin Muxuan nodded and gave him a Good Morning kiss.
The two of them hugged and kissed each other for a long time before they went downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast, Gu Zijin drove Qin Muxuan to her company before he went to his company.
Even though the two companies were opposite to each other.
“Morning. This is the main topic of today’s press conference. Take a look,” Huang Qi had kind of become Qin Muxuan’s assistant. When he saw her come in, he immediately explained today’s plans.
Qin Muxuan walked swiftly. She gestured to the staff who passed by and strode into the office.
At 10:30 a. m., she would hold a press conference to announce her retirement from the entertainment industry.
“Also, you got the award for Best Supporting Actress last night. Many columns and magazines have sent invitations for interviews,” Huang Qi pushed his glasses and said, “My opinion for you is to accept one of the interviews. What do you think?”
Qin Muxuan nodded. “Fine.”
“Okay, then I’ll screen the invitations, and you’ll consider which one you’ll do.”
……
Pretty soon it was 10:30 a. m. Huang Qi asked Qin Muxuan who was standing behind the door, “Are you ready?”
Qin Muxuan took a deep breath and said firmly, “Open the door.”
The white door on the right side of the stage was pushed open and Qin Muxuan walked out.
Her suit trousers draped and hung extremely well. When she moved, her trousers looked like a book being flipped through. The special fabric reflected the light slightly under the blazing light, making Qin Muxuan look solemn.
The cameras in the hands of the reporters were flashing non-stop.
She was awarded Best Supporting Actress yesterday. She won such an award not long after she debuted. This was a strong proof of her good acting skills.
And the owner of the Gu Group proposed to her in front of tens of millions of people. Now, she had become a hot topic on the Internet.
She was in the limelight yesterday. And today she would held a press conference. So what was it that she was going to announce? Was it the date of their wedding day?
The reporters had all kinds of speculations, and the cameras in their hands kept clicking. The live cameras were also pointing at the place where Qin Muxuan was sitting.
“Thank you all for taking your time to be here. Today, I invite all of you here to make an announcement.”
Qin Muxuan always got straight to the point, so she talked straightforwardly. “After careful consideration, I have decided to…”
Everyone gulped silently, waiting for her announcement.
“…retire from the entertainment industry. Apart from endorsements and activities that are still in the contracts’ lifetime, I’ll not take part in new activities.”
Qin Muxuan’s words were like a stone thrown into the still water.
None of the reporters present and the people watching the live stream expected that her announcement was not about the marriage, but about her retirement from her acting career!
How was that possible? Didn’t she just get the award? Wasn’t her future promising?
Why did she choose to retire at such a moment?
Soon, the reporters who recovered from shock put forward their inner doubts.
“Excuse me, Miss Qin, since you just won the award, we can say that you have a bright future, so why do you choose to retire now?”
Qin Muxuan smiled and approached the microphone. And she answered neither too fast nor too slow, “I made this decision after careful consideration. And this decision is made both for my own sake and for my family’s sake.”
“Even though I like filming very much, every time I go shooting with the crew, I will be cut off from the outside world for a very long time. It directly affects my family life, so after weighing it up, I made this decision.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“After all,” she smiled like a flower in the wind. “To me, there are things in my life that are much more important than acting.”
At the same time, in the building of the Gu Group opposite to Qin Muxuan’s company, Gu Zijin couldn’t help but smile at the smiling and confident woman on the screen.
Ever since Qin Muxuan came back, Gu Zijin had supported her every decision. Therefore, when Qin Muxuan said that she wanted to retire, he expressed his support without thinking too much but he never thought about why she did it.
He got the answer today. She did it for Xiaobai and Xiaoxin. How could he not be touched?
Gu Zijin stretched out his fingers to touch the screen and whispered, “Now I love you even more. What should I do?”
