No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Gu Zijin didn’t say anything but the glimmer of smile in his eyes already showed clearly that he was pleased with her compliment. Qin Xiaobai bounced to their room vigorously and knocked on the door with his chubby fists,

“Daddy, mommy, it’s dinner time.”

Only then did Qin Muxuan look away from his face. Then she used a string to tie up her hair and stood up. After that, they went out together. When they arrived downstairs, they saw Elderly Lady Gu and Mrs. Gu already sitting by the table. Ever since Elderly Lady Gu learned that Qin Muxuan had resigned, she had held grudges against the latter for a long while. In Elderly Lady Gu’s view, Qin Muxuan was an incompetent woman who quit her job at will. What was more, Elderly Lady Gu also didn’t know how Qin Muxuan managed to let Gu Zijin invite a tutor for her. Lately, she could see Qin Muxuan in the house every day, which was very perturbing for her. As a result, the prejudice Elderly Lady Gu had against Qin Muxuan just got deeper.

“Zijin, you have worked for a whole day. Eat more.”‘

Elderly Lady Gu put some food into Gu Zijin’s bowl while saying that. The latter compressed his lips and then said,

“I’m fine.”

Seeing the curious look on Elderly Lady Gu’s face, Gu Zijin knew what she wanted to ask right away and said,

“Yan Yuxiao’s new show made a huge hit before it is broadcast because of the accident she had last time. Grandma, you don’t need to worry about the audience ratings of her show anymore.”

Hearing that, Elderly Lady Gu showed a sullen look. She couldn’t find any faults in Gu Zijin’s words but clearly this man had no intention to show any consideration for Yan Yuxiao. Then she frowned and said,

“It’s hard for a girl to work in the show business. You two have grown up with each other, you should help her.”

“Grandma, for all these years, haven’t we done enough for her? Yan Family wouldn’t even exist if it were not for our family.”

Gu Zijin said that bluntly. Qin Xiaobai had a vague impression of Yan Yuxiao. That woman didn’t seem very nice to him. Qin Muxuan ate her meal with her head lowered, trying her best to reduce her sense of being in case Elderly Lady Gu would vent anger on her. Every time Qin Muxuan recalled what had happened in the Gu Group last time, she regretted that she had impulsively retorted Elderly Lady Gu.

Mrs. Gu tried to ease the tension,

“All right, Zijin, how can you speak to your grandma like that? What’s that attitude?”

After the meal, the atmosphere in the house went tenser. Mrs. Gu was in a dilemma, not knowing which side she should help. She wanted to help Elderly Lady Gu , but she also knew what Elderly Lady Gu said in front of Qin Xiaobai and Qin Muxuan wasn’t right.

The next seven days, Elderly Lady Gu gave Qin Muxuan a long face every day. Qin Muxuan didn’t say anything and only took lessons from He Cheng diligently. As time went by, He Cheng was gradually impressed by Qin Muxuan because not only was she very talented, she also worked very hard every day. One day, after Qin Muxuan asked all of her questions, He Cheng couldn’t help but ask,

“Miss Qin, you are such a gifted girl. I don’t think you are that kind of girl who would sell yourself for money and power.”

He Cheng heard some rumors about her these days, so he knew what had happened to Qin Muxuan five years ago and the reason why she was staying in the Gu’s house now. Qin Muxuan replied to him with a bitter smile on her face,

“Professor He, there are things one can not avoid. Most of the time, we are compelled by the circumstances.”

Hearing the sentiments in her words, He Cheng sighed and then stopped talking. After that, he handed her his name card,

“Miss Qin, if you have needs in the future, you can contact me. Although I am already retired, I consider myself having a sharp eye for people. I believe you can make great achievements within a year or so.”

Qin Muxuan nodded gratefully while taking over the name card. When Gu Zijin came back home from work, Qin Muxuan didn’t even look at him. That really upset him. After he changed into his pajama, he walked over to her and held her up straightly.

Qin Muxuan, having cried out in alarm, gripped Gu Zijin subconsciously right away. With a cold look in Gu Zijin’s eyes, he said,All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Don’t stay up late tonight. Go to sleep.”

“Gu Zijin! I haven’t finished the last few pages!”

“Finish them tomorrow, Qin Muxuan. Why do I feel like you are even busier than the emperor who attends to hundreds of matters every day?”

Qin Muxuan was truly irritated by the unreasonable man. Then with her teeth gritted, she turned her face away in anger. Gu Zijin’s face turned gloomy right away,

“Are you venting your spleen on me now?”

“President Gu, why can you stay up late working every day but I can not read my books?”

Hearing her calling him President Gu, Gu Zijin flashed flames of fury in his eyes. Then he used his clean and slender fingers to pinch Qin Muxuan’s chin, forcing her to face him. Then he kissed on her lips without any hesitation.

Qin Muxuan opened her eyes wide and forgot to struggle at all. Only after a long while did she realize what had happened. However, Gu Zijin had already let her go with a satisfied look. As a result, Qin Muxuan had to go to sleep early. After she had taken the last glance at the books on the desk, she finally closed her eyes. Gu Zijin was well aware that Qin Muxuan was working so hard now because she wanted to be a strong woman after she left Gu’s family. Thinking that she would leave, Gu Zijin closed his lips tightly with a sullen look. As he calculated the time, he found that the expiration date of the contract he had signed with Qin Muxuan was very close.

The second day, Qin Muxuan asked He Cheng for a day off in advance. Then she asked Uncle Chen to drive her. Although Uncle Chen was wondering why Qin Muxuan wanted to go out, he still dropped her off in front of the cafe she had mentioned. After Qin Muxuan got off the car, she asked Uncle Chen to go back first. Uncle Chen who seemed a bit worried said,

“Miss Qin, the taxi fee is high. I can wait for you here.”

Qin Muxuan shook her head and said with a smile,

“Uncle Chen, I’m a grown-up and I’ll be safe out there. I know you still have lots of things to do, I can not let you wait here.”

Hearing that, Uncle Chen could only drive away after he told Qin Muxuan to be careful.

After Uncle Chen left, Qin Muxuan let out a sigh of relief and stared at the cafe across the street. Yin Youting was still sitting by the window like he used to be. In the bright sunlight, he looked extremely graceful and gentle. Qin Muxuan’s eyelashes fluttered. She suddenly remembered that many years ago, this man had held her hand and chatted with her cheerfully.

Memories were truly like a knife which could wound someone badly so easily. As Qin Muxuan walked toward him step by step, her lips got paler and paler. On that night five years ago, after seeing plenty of missed calls from Yin Youting, she squatted down and choked with sobs like a kid as if her whole world had collapsed.

When she pushed the door of the cafe open, she had already shaken that feeling off. However, she didn’t notice that there was a van parked across the street.

Yan Yuxiao’s assistant looked at her wonderingly, saying,

“Yuxiao, we are going to miss the last shooting of your new show.”

Yan Yuxiao took off her glasses. Right now, with her charming almond eyes fixed on the cafe, she said smilingly,

“Qin Muxuan, I didn’t realize you are such a bitch. You just couldn’t wait to hook up with another man, huh?”
