No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

It was time to get off work.

As Qin Muxuan was about to call Gu Zijin by the window, she saw a van parking in front of the company. After that, a figure familiar to her walked out of the van.

Yan Yuxiao…

Qin Muxuan stopped dialing the number all of a sudden. Thinking of the conversation between her colleagues, she felt a bit bitter with the corner of her lips curled.

As expected, after half an hour, Gu Zijin called her,

“I asked Uncle Chen to pick you up. I’ll be occupied tonight.”

“Fine.”

Qin Muxuan hung up the phone, feeling a chill all over. About a few hours ago, Gu Zijin had taken her to breakfast. Now, she felt that the little warmth he had given to her was taken away again.

The President’s Office on the twenty-first floor.

Seeing Qin Muxuan hang up the phone, Gu Zijin then looked to Yan Yuxiao. He tried to hide the impatience in his eyes and said,

“Haven’t I already assigned the best agent to you?”

“Brother Zijin, I really have run into trouble. There are rumors on the Internet claiming that I got my role through bribery. They even said I found a sugar daddy…”

“Didn’t you?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Gu Zijin looked at Yan Yuxiao with his knife-like sharp eyes, which made the latter feel extremely cold on the back. Then she said,

“Sorry… Brother Zijin. But Elderly Lady Gu said that I could come to you when I was in trouble.”

“Yan Yuxiao, my grandma likes you because you are the granddaughter of her old friend and you are like the granddaughter that she never has. Do you know the consequences of being haughty because of others’ indulgence?”

Yan Yuxiao, her face turning pale immediately, couldn’t utter a single word.

With a grim look on his face, Gu Zijin called Lisa over to deal with the matter. After that, he walked out of the office directly and left Yan Yuxiao in the office alone. Yan Yuxiao clenched her fist. The reason why she had come today was that she wanted Gu Zijin to help her deal with those rumors.

As long as Gu Zijin spoke out for her, none of the media would dare to say anything again. However, Gu Zijin only helped her secretly for Elderly Lady Gu’s sake but never really did anything for her in public, which made everyone think that she had nothing to do with him.

Even though she had tried her best to create rumors between her and Gu Zijin, the latter never played up to her.

Yan Yuxiao felt bitter and began to think it might be so easy for her to get what she wanted now if she was the one that had sex with Gu Zijin five years ago.

But that was Qin Muxuan!

The imperial castle on the mountain top in the north of the city.

Qin Xiaobai was eating his dinner tamely on his seat while swinging his short legs back and forth. As he saw Qin Muxuan coming back home alone, he ran toward her instantly and asked sweetly,

“Mommy, daddy does not come back?”

“No.”

“You must be hungry now. Come here and have dinner.”

Qin Xiaobai held Qin Muxuan’s sleeve and led her to the dinner table. Elderly Lady Gu, following the saying, ‘out of sight, out of mind’, put down her chopsticks and said in a cold voice,

“Nanny Chen, I’ll go upstairs.”

Qin Xiaobai grimaced at the old lady secretly while Qin Muxuan sighed and said,

“Xiaobai, although your grandma doesn’t like me, she still loves you a lot. You can’t do this to her, all right?”

Qin Xiaobai, unwilling to agree to that, raised his head and said,

“Why should I treat the people who bully my mommy nicely?”

Nevertheless, under the stern gaze of Qin Muxuan, he still said reluctantly with his mouth twitched,

“I’ll try my best not to…” After all, he was never afraid of anything except for the serious look on Qin Muxuan’s face.

Mrs. Gu felt a bit touched after hearing Qin Muxuan’s words. Then she came out from the kitchen with a bowl of warm soup in her hand, saying,

“Muxuan, you’ve been working all day. Have some soup.”

Qin Muxuan got dazed when seeing the hot steamed fish soup. After she thanked Mrs. Gu, Qin Xiaobai already fetched her a pair of chopsticks. Then he stared at Qin Muxuan with his bright eyes and said,

“Dabai, let me fill your bowl with soup.”

“Thanks, my sweet boy.”

Gu Zijin came back after half an hour. He had a quick meal and then went upstairs.

When he found Qin Muxuan not in their spacious bedroom, he got a bit displeased thinking that she had gone to the guest room to sleep. Only after he heard the sound of the running water did the look on his face turn mild.

After Qin Muxuan finished the shower, she saw Gu Zijin sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. She couldn’t help getting dazed, thinking, ‘Why does he come back so soon?’

“Finished?”

Gu Zijin stood up and unbuttoned his shirt. After that, he took out a pajama from the closet slowly. Qin Muxuan held the knot of her bath towel tightly. If she had known that Gu Zijin would be back so early, she wouldn’t have taken the shower here…

“Yes…”

“Then I’ll go take a bath.”

Only after Gu Zijin walked into the bathroom and closed the door did Qin Muxuan let a sigh of relief. Then she changed into her pajama and dried her hair.

When Gu Zijin walked out of the bathroom, Qin Muxuan had already fallen asleep on the bed with her back to him. Her long hair covering her shoulders was still half wet and her quilt also slid to the ground. Gu Zijin, his eyebrows slightly knitted, walked over to wipe her hair gently. Then he covered her with the quilt.

Qin Muxuan’s face seemed peaceful while she was sleeping. However, her eyebrows still wrinkled, which made her look quite sorrowful. Gu Zijin pulled his collar, lowered his head and kissed gently on Qin Muxuan’s fair forehead.

The next day.

The moment Elderly Lady Gu saw Qin Muxuan getting downstairs behind Gu Zijin, she got angry right away, saying,

“Zijin, don’t go to work today. Yuxiao’s film just started shooting. You should go check on her as her childhood friend. Let Uncle Chen send Qin Muxuan to the company.”

“Grandma.”

“You want to disobey me now?!”

Elderly Lady Gu coughed in rage. Gu Zijin who didn’t want to refute his grandmother in front of everyone said with his eyebrows knitted,

“Fine.”

Elderly Lady Gu then said with a softened look,

“That’s my boy…”

“I’ll do it for the last time.”

After he said that, his lips compressed tightly. He did respect Elderly Lady Gu, but it didn’t mean that he could be manipulated by her all the time. He had been fine with it before, but now things were different. Ever since Qin Muxuan and Qin Xiaobai showed up, everything in his life had been changed little by little.

The atmosphere on the breakfast table was very solemn. Elderly Lady Gu and Gu Zijin both wore cold looks. Mrs. Gu didn’t know how to break the ice while Qin Muxuan tried her best to hide all sorts of overwhelming feelings inside of her and pretended to be calm.

“Dabai, why don’t you eat the cream custard bun? That’s your favorite.”

Qin Xiaobai’s innocent and tender voice broke the tranquility. Qin Muxuan, feeling a lump coming into her throat, thought secretly, ‘If Qin Family had not gone broke at that time, I won’t live in other people’s house and send Xiaobao to the Gu’s family.’

Everything changed five years ago… After her family went broke, her father committed suicide by taking the pills and her stepmother remarried someone else. Qin Muxuan was the only one left in her family to clean up the mess.

“I don’t have the appetite today. Xiaobai, you should have one yourself.”

Elderly Lady Gu, with a scornful look in her eyes, said,

“Well, someone doesn’t have the luck to be the rich, but has become as picky as the rich indeed.”

Qin Muxuan’s face turned pale and her hands which were holding the chopsticks were slightly trembling. However, Gu Zijin held her hand with his warm hands, which made Qin Muxuan get dazed. The next second, she saw his cold black eyes which were giving off a sense of pressure. He said,

“Grandma, I have a villa by the beautiful sea of the A City. You can move there today if you like.”

“Zijin, are you driving me away now?!”
