No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 118: Easing the Tension



“That’s great.”

Mrs. Gu, feeling kind of relieved, thought about asking Nanny Chen to make more nourishing dishes for Qin Muxuan.

After that, Mrs. Gu seemed to have remembered something. Then she walked over to Qin Muxuan and said, “Muxuan, grandma is in there. She has something to say to you.”

Hearing that, Qin Muxuan nodded.

She didn’t know what Elderly Lady Gu wanted to say to her. Perhaps the old lady still wanted her to give up Qin Xiaobai because of what happened last time? Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan showed a gloomy look in her eyes. She didn’t care if she had to leave the Gu family, but she had to take Xiaobai with her.

She didn’t want to see the sad look on Qin Xiaobai’s face ever again.

Gu Zijin seemed to detect what Qin Muxuan was thinking, so he stepped forward and held Qin Muxuan’s hand. Feeling the warmness on her palm, Qin Muxuan finally had a sense of security.

“Don’t worry, I am here with you.”

No matter what kind of difficulties she would run into, he would always protect her in the first place.

When Qin Muxuan entered the Gu’s house, she saw Elderly Lady Gu waiting for her on the sofa. The moment the old lady saw Qin Muxuan, she suddenly showed an awkward look on her mean and serious face and coughed for a while. Then Qin Muxuan walked over and said,

“Grandma, do you need me for anything?”

These days, Elderly Lady Gu couldn’t stop thinking of the accident which had been caused indirectly by Yan Yuxiao. Actually, when Qin Muxuan was in hospital, Elderly Lady Gu had gone to the hospital to look at her from a distance.

At that time, Qin Muxuan had been receiving the recovery treatment. She would sweat a lot even after making a few steps. Even so, she still held on to the very end.

Seeing that, Elderly Lady Gu had been deeply touched.

‘Perhaps… Qin Muxuan isn’t that bad as I thought.’ As Elderly Lady Gu remembered Yan Yuxiao had caused Qin Xiaobai to run away from home, she finally realized that she had wronged Qin Muxuan and felt guilty.

Elderly Lady Gu put the little box which she had held in her arms for a long time in Qin Muxuan’s hand and said awkwardly, “Take this as a present I should have given to you when you were in hospital. I don’t need it anyway.”

Elderly Lady Gu did this not only out of guilt but also because she was trying to change Qin Xiaobai’s view of her. After what happened, Qin Xiaobai ignored her for days, and didn’t even say a single word to her.

Elderly Lady Gu was truly in panic.

As Qin Muxuan opened the little box, she saw a little pill inside. Then she recognized that it was a very precious pill which had been made from expensive herbal medicines and was great for relaxing the muscles and improving the blood circulation.

Qin Muxuan showed a surprised look on her face. She knew how much this pill cost and wanted to give it back to Elderly Lady Gu. However, Mrs. Gu put the box back into Qin Muxuan’s hand gently.

With a smile on Mrs. Gu’s face, she said in a low voice, “Muxuan, just accept your grandma’s kindness.”

Elderly Lady Gu seemed to be afraid that Qin Muxuan would give it back again, so she coughed and said, “I’m tired. I want to go back to have a rest now.”

Nanny Chen then walked over to help the old lady to go upstairs.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Gu Zijin knew what Elderly Lady Gu wanted, judging from the upset look on her face during the past few days when Xiaobai had treated her indifferently.

Qin Muxuan, feeling it hard to turn down the kind offer, then said in a low voice, “Fine.”

Qin Xiaobai also knew that his attitude had hurt his grandma these days. However, he still couldn’t help getting angry when thinking of the words which Elderly Lady Gu had said to Qin Muxuan.

‘Great grandma always wants to drive Dabai away! Even a rabbit will bite when being pushed too hard!’

Although he was a bit displeased, he still felt somewhat sorry when he looked at the lonely figure of Elderly Lady Gu and didn’t know what to do.

Gu Zijin detected Qin Xiaobai’s thought and then looked to Mrs. Gu. The latter understood him right away and held Qin Muxuan’s hand, saying tenderly, “Muxuan, let’s go back to your room to rest.”

“Ok.”

Qin Muxuan nodded. When she glimpsed Gu Zijin squatting down in front of Qin Xiaobai and seeming to be saying something, she also realized what he was going to do. Then she followed Mrs. Gu upstairs.

“Xiaobai.”

There were only Gu Zijin and Qin Xiaobai in the living room right now. Gu Zijin held Xiaobai on the sofa and asked, “Do you have anything to ask me?”

As a father, Gu Zijin had to play the role of a peacemaker to fix the relationship between his family members, knowing that Qin Muxuan also didn’t want the relationship between each other in this family to get worse.

However, Qin Muxuan didn’t know how to persuade Qin Xiaobai due to her position in the family, so Gu Zijin then decided to talk to the boy by himself.

“I… am very angry at great grandma. She ordered my mom to leave our family when we were in the hospital. She also said that she would find a step-mother for me.” Qin Xiaobai said earnestly and even started to analyze seriously, “I know great-grandma doesn’t like Dabai. I could feel that from her tone when she talks to Dabai!”

Although Qin Xiaobai was just a kid, he was very sensible and much maturer than other boys at his age.

“It is reasonable for you to be angry at your great grandma.”

Gu Zijin nodded and continued, “You should also know that your great grandma likes you most.”

Hearing that, Qin Xiaobai lowered his head. That was why he had been in a dilemma.

“These days, you never talked to her. Your great grandma already knows that she is wrong. Inside the box which she gave to Dabai is the pill which could help Dabai recover fast. Your great grandma also wants Dabai to recover as soon as possible.”

Gu Zijin was also very surprised when seeing Elderly Lady Gu taking out that pill. One of the ingredients in it was the ginseng which has grown for thousands of years and almost gone extinct, which showed how valuable the pill was. Elderly Lady Gu had always been loath to send it to others.

However, today she gave it to Qin Muxuan.

“Do you think this could make up for what she has done?”

Qin Xiaobai thought about it for a while and then nodded seriously, saying, “Fine, then… If great grandma still wants to drive Dabai away, I’ll continue to ignore her!”

Gu Zijin chuckled and nodded.

After that, Qin Xiaobai got down from the sofa and raised his head, saying, “Daddy, I want to go to great grandma’s room, is that ok?”

“Yes, I’ll go with you.”

Gu Zijin was worried that Qin Xiaobai would be nervous.

Then, he took the boy to Elderly Lady Gu’s room. After he knocked on the door, from inside came Elderly Lady Gu’s voice which sounded a bit tired, “Who’s that?”

“Great grandma, it’s me.”

Qin Xiaobai answered. Then, the door was opened by Nanny Chen. Elderly Lady Gu was sitting on her chair right now. When she saw Qin Xiaobai’s face, her face was lit up with pleasure at once.

The future heir of the Gu Group should always bear in mind the overall situation and never act on impulse.

At this point, Qin Xiaobai had done a great job.

Gu Zijin praised the boy inwardly, ‘That’s my boy.’

On the other side, after Mrs. Gu had chatted with Qin Muxuan for a long while in the bedroom, she was still unwilling to let the latter leave.

Before Qin Muxuan left, Mrs. Gu still couldn’t rest assured and kept reminding her, “Remember not to walk too much.”

“I see, mother.”

Qin Muxuan answered with a smile, feeling quite warm. When she called Mrs. Gu mother, she truly meant it.

She hadn’t felt the love from a mother for so long, but now she did when she was with Mrs. Gu. Also, she sometimes felt that Mrs. Gu was alike her deceased mother to some extent.
