No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 117: A Strange Man



Zhong Yueyue came back to her sense and covered her eyes in panic right away. Then she smiled awkwardly and said, “Oh, no, never. A few days ago the power was off in my house, so I bumped into the wall in the dark.

“Really?”

Qin Muxuan felt that Zhong Yueyue was lying to her judging from the look in the latter’s eyes. However, since Zhong Yueyue didn’t want to talk about that, Qin Muxuan could only change the subject, “It has been so long since we met each other, why don’t we find a place to have a small talk?”

As Zhong Yueyue was about to say something, someone put his hand on her shoulder suddenly. Then a soft voice interrupted their conversation,

“Yueyue, sorry for letting you wait.”

Hearing that voice, Zhong Yueyue went stiff at once with a scared look crossing her eyes.

Meanwhile, Qin Muxuan looked over subconsciously, finding a man who seemed very gentle standing behind Zhong Yueyue. The man looked at her smilingly and asked,

“Yueyue, who is this?”

“I don’t know her.”

Zhong Yueyue lowered her head. After a long while of silence, she uttered those words.

Hearing that, Qin Muxuan frowned. She was surprised by Zhong Yueyue’s craven attitude and the words the latter had said. This woman was completely different from the Zhong Yueyue in Qin Muxuan’s memory. It seemed as if her soul had been changed.

‘Is it possible that…’

Qin Muxuan suddenly realized something. During the five years they hadn’t contacted each other, Zhong Yueyue seemed to have suffered too. Zhong Yueyue was from a wealthy family and shouldn’t be wearing such cheap clothes.

“I see.”

The man looked Qin Muxuan up and down with a strange look in his eyes. Then he nodded and wanted to take Zhong Yueyue away, but Qin Muxuan shouted and stopped them,

“Wait!”

Seeing the impatient look in the man’s eyes, Qin Muxuan chuckled and said, “She found my purse just now, can you let me return her favor?”

The man, half convinced, took a glance at Zhong Yueyue and said in a deep voice, “Is that so?”

Zhong Yueyue lowered her head, with her arm which was grabbed by the man trembling slightly. Still, she nodded and uttered in a weak voice, “Yeah, that’s right.”

The man looked at his watch, finding that there was still enough time. Moreover, he felt that Qin Muxuan wouldn’t let them leave if she couldn’t return the favor. In order not to cause needless trouble, he pushed Zhong Yueyue and said, “Then do it quickly.”

The man didn’t leave and only stood beside Zhong Yueyue to watch them closely, as if he was afraid that Zhong Yueyue would run away.

Qin Muxuan smiled to Zhong Yueyue, “Thank you so much.” Saying that, she pulled out some cash from her purse and put it in Zhong Yueyue’s hand while moving her fingers on the latter’s palm.

Zhong Yueyue was a bit startled and then her eyes turned red at once. When they were at college, Zhong Yueyue liked to play charades on the palm. The two girls used to be keen on that game while their classmates always called them boring.

Neither of them expected that the game which they used to play now became a life-saving tool.

Qin Muxuan wrote a string of numbers on Zhong Yueyue’s palm. Then the latter kept it in mind right away, knowing that it must be Qin Muxuan’s phone number.

“You are welcome.”

Zhong Yueyue held the cash tightly in her hand. Even though she had tried her best to control herself, she still couldn’t help but shiver.

The man was afraid that there might be unexpected problems if they talked longer, although he didn’t find anything strange in their conversation. Then he pulled Zhong Yueyue back while taking away the cash as well.

He said to Qin Muxuan, “My wife and I still have something to do, we should leave now.”

After saying that, the man dragged Zhong Yueyue away in a hurry.

As Qin Muxuan watched the direction where they had left, she instantly had a bad feeling. Something was wrong about Zhong Yueyue, and it must have something to do with this man.

She didn’t know more about Zhong Yueyue’s situation until the latter called.

“What are you doing here?”

As Qin Muxuan was in a trance, Gu Zijin’s clear voice dragged her back to the reality.

Just now, when Gu Zijin arrived at the ward, he found no one in the room and only a suitcase which hadn’t been closed on the bed.

‘She’s just recovered, where did she go?’

Gu Zijin got nervous right away. Only when Qin Muxuan showed up in front of him in a perfect condition did he let out a sigh of relief.

Hearing that, Qin Muxuan turned around to look at him and put her anxiety aside first. Then she chuckled to Gu Zijin, “Well, just want to go for a stroll. It’s so stuffy in here.”

Gu Zijin sighed inwardly, thinking, ‘Why can’t you make me less worried?’

“Let’s go back first. I’ll hang out with you no matter where you want to go.” He felt it would be easier for him to take care of her when he was around her, “Although the doctor said that you have recovered, you still need to have a good rest. Your leg still needs time to recover, do you know that?”

Qin Muxuan nodded and answered earnestly, “I see, mother.”

Gu Zijin got dazed first and then burst out into laughter, ‘Is this girl sneering at me now?’

Gu Zijin reached out his hand to her. Qin Muxuan dodged him and ran away at once, afraid that he would catch her.

Gu Zijin, eyes squinted, thought to himself, ‘It’s fine, I’ll have enough time to ‘teach’ you a lesson.’

When Qin Muxuan went back to the Gu’s house, she saw Qin Xiaobai already wait for her by the door.

As Qin Xiaobai saw the black Bentley parking in front of the house, he ran over right away. While he helped Qin Muxuan get off the car with his little hands, he kept saying, “Dabai, be careful, let me help you.”

“Xiaobai, it’s fine. I feel much better now.”

“No.”

Xiaobai showed a serious look, which made him look more like Gu Zijin, “Daddy said that you still couldn’t walk too much even though your leg is cured! Mommy, I know that you have run about in the hospital!”

Qin Muxuan gave Gu Zijin a meaningful look as if she was asking him when he had told that to Qin Xiaobai. After all, she couldn’t bear to go against Qin Xiaobai’s words.

Gu Zijin, with his hands crossed on his chest, raised his eyebrows gently and gave a smug smile.

Villains were not easy to deal with. Even though Qin Muxuan didn’t listen to him, he could still find a way to let her do as told to.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Seeing the frustrated look on her face, Gu Zijin chuckled in a good mood and rubbed Qin Xiaobai’s head tenderly, “Good boy, Xiaobai.”

Mrs. Gu went out to welcome Qin Muxuan with a worried look on her nice face, “Muxuan, is your leg all right?”

Every time she remembered seeing the blood all over Qin Muxuan’s leg, she couldn’t help but feel scared.

Luckily, only Qin Muxuan’s leg had been hit. If the injury was more serious…

Then Mrs. Gu tried to forget about that immediately, thinking, ‘My goodness, don’t think of something so ominous! This is a good day!’

“I’m fine, mom.”

Seeing the sincere worried look on Mrs. Gu’s face, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help feeling warm inwardly and then said, “I just couldn’t do too much exercise for the moment.”
