No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 136: A Shabby Phoenix Is Inferior to a Chicken



Xiaohuan thought secretly, ‘You said that she is not comparable to you and a phoenix coming down in the world is not comparable to a chicken. Didn’t it mean that she is the shabby phoenix and you are… the… chicken?’

While she was lost in her thought, her head was hit by a script.

As she raised her head, she found Yan Yuxiao glaring at her,

“Xiaohuan, why are you absent-minded now? I asked you to find out what Qin Muxuan is going to do just now, are you dumb or dead? Couldn’t you utter a single word?”

“Ah… Yes, I’m sorry. I was thinking about the Gu’s family’s plan for Qin Xiaobai’s acting career…”

Xiaohuan tried her best to find an excuse.

The driver couldn’t help letting out a sigh secretly, thinking,

‘If Gu Zijin really marries a woman like Yan Yuxiao, he would be the silliest president in this world!’

“Xiaobai, you have to keep this secret from daddy.”

On their way back home, Qin Muxuan told Qin Xiaobai that.

“OK!” Qin Xiaobai nodded, “In fact, I would prefer that daddy could live with us in our new apartment, but that seems unlikely to happen… If I have to choose between you and dad, I choose you, mother.”

Qin Xiaobai said those words in a flat tone, but he seemed to touch a sore spot and Qin Muxuan felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

Gu Zijin…

She had to admit that she had gradually got used to relying on that man. As long as she found an apartment, she would have to say goodbye to him, which really hurt her.

However, if she could start over, Qin Muxuan would rather never let Qin Xiaobai meet Gu Zijin.

Letting Qin Xiaobai cry for his daddy forever was better than forcing him to part with his daddy.

It was such a cruel thing for a child to make a choice between his dad and mom.

However, Qin Muxuan was doing this cruel thing to Qin Xiaobai right now.

She was angry at herself now. Since she couldn’t give Qin Xiaobai a happy life, she shouldn’t have insisted on giving birth to him. Now she doubted if she had made a mistake because of her own selfishness…

When they passed the park on the way back home, Qin Muxuan surrendered to Qin Xiaobai’s begging and played with him in the park for a while. When they came back to the Gu’s house, it was already very late.

The people of the Gu’s family had already finished having dinner. After Elderly Lady Gu gave a lecture to Qin Muxuan again, she told the nanny to make snacks for Qin Xiaobai at once.

“My dear boy, where have you been for the whole day? You only have one day off, why don’t you accompany your great grandma at home?”

Qin Xiaobai showed his pail which was full of sand to the old lady,

“Our homework at school is observing flowers. These are the flowers my mom and I picked in the park secretly. Are they pretty, great grandma?”

“Yes, of course they are.”

‘Our family already has all kinds of flowers, why did she have to bring the child to the outside to pick those flowers and get the boy all dirty! What is she thinking?’

Although Elderly Lady Gu thought like that, she still praised the flowers that Qin Xiaobai had picked.

“If you think they are pretty, I’ll present them to you, great grandma!”

“Good boy!” Elderly Lady Gu beamed with joy, “However, if you give me those flowers, what about your homework?”

“I can pick some more tomorrow!”

Qin Xiaobai thought that he and Qin Muxuan must go to find an apartment tomorrow and picking flowers should be a good excuse to leave the house.

Elderly Lady Gu patted on Qin Xiaobai’s hands which were full of dust immediately and said,Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t go. Look, how dirty you get. I’ll order someone to buy some flowers for you to observe, the most beautiful ones. Any flowers you want!”

As they were chatting with each other, Qin Muxuan walked upstairs alone. Then she heard a few nannies talking,

“Should we make some food for Miss Qin too?”

“Of course we should!”

“By the way, what’s the matter with Miss Qin? She should either become Mrs. Gu right away or leave the Gu’s house directly. What is her identity in this family anyway? The most important thing is that we have to serve her.”

That nanny seemed to utter that in a complaining tone.

“Lower your voice.” Another nanny said that, “Don’t let others hear you. Don’t you remember what has happened to A’nan?”

“That’s right. Anan has worked in this family for so many years but was still driven away by Young Master. It looks like Miss Qin does mean a lot to him. We should serve her dedicatedly.”

Qin Muxuan shook her head with a wry smile. She would feel better if they don’t serve her. Then she could make Qin Xiaobai’s favorite food for him.

However, now everyone in the Gu family cared about Qin Xiaobai’s diet, so there were nutritionists making meals every day. Qin Muxuan had no chance to get into the kitchen anymore.

She didn’t have a chance to take Qin Xiaobai to eat KFC which used to be his favorite.

After Qin Muxuan washed her face in her room, Nanny Chen walked over and said, “Miss Qin, Young Master and Little Master are waiting for you to have dinner together. Please hurry up, the meal is getting cold.”

“I see, I’ll get down there right away.”

Qin Muxuan thought to herself, ‘What a coincidence! Gu Zijin has come back too.’

‘There wouldn’t be too many days left for Xiaobai and his dad to have meals together, or say, for the three of us…’

Qin Muxuan fet a bit sad thinking of that. She, hastened by Nanny Chen, walked faster to the dining room.

“Dabai, come here! We have your favorite sweet potato steamed bun today!”

“I am on a diet now and don’t want to eat anything since it’s too late. Xiaobai, you should eat now.”

Qin Muxuan sat by the table. She didn’t know why she didn’t dare to look at Gu Zijin as if she had done something wrong by not telling him about the apartment thing.

However, her subtle gestures were noticed by Gu Zijin.

He knew that there was something on her mind at a glance.

“Where have you been today? I heard that you and Xiaobai have just got back.”

Qin Muxuan took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, “Xiaobai has homework from his nature class, I took him to the park.”

“For a whole day?” Under Gu Zijin’s fixed gaze, Qin Muxuan felt her thought was about to be seen through.

“Yes… We went to several parks.”

‘Come on, why does this man have such sharp eyes!”

Gu Zijin immediately realized that it was a lie. Then he turned to Qin Xiaobai,

“Xiaobai, where have you and Dabai been today?”

Qin Xiaobai only had his meal without saying anything,

“Xiaobai?”

Gu Zijin felt his authority as a father being challenged after being ignored by his son. Then his voice turned a bit serious.

Qin Xiaobai stopped eating and buried his head in his arms, still saying nothing.

In the meantime, he kept saying to himself inwardly,

‘I am not here; I am not here! I am only a table linen!’

Qin Muxuan felt so sorry for her son. Then she decided not to hide anything from Gu Zijin and said straightly, “I went out to see some apartments. It has been so long since Xiaobai went out last time, so I brought him with me…”

Qin Xiaobai leaned his forehead on the table, thinking,

‘Alas, Dabai, you are the one who told me to keep it secret from daddy! Why do you surrender before I do!’
