No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 168: Informed of Their Engagement



Gu Zijin was plugging away at documents piled in the company. After knocking on the door, Lisa walked in suddenly.

“Mr. Gu, have you turned your phone off?”

Gu Zijin glanced at his phone, nodding, “Yep. What’s up?”

“Well, Elderly Lady Gu asks you to go back for dinner.”

“Okay.”

Hearing these words, Gu Zijin furrowed his brows in annoyance. No matter what he was doing, the old lady would instruct him by all means.

He was disgusted with that.

However, he had already consented. Gu Zijin also wanted to figure out what Elderly Lady Gu was scheming.

He drove back to the Gu’s house as soon as he was off duty.

Before he entered, Gu Zijin heard the noise. It seemed that the meal was intended for ulterior motives.

Gu Zijin strode in the house. When she saw her grandson, Elderly Lady Gu’s face lighted up with pleasure.

She hurriedly introduced two persons, “They’re Yuxiao’s parents. They will be your dad and mom.”

Yan Yuxiao said sheepishly, “Grandma, we haven’t gotten married. Don’t be so sure.”

Mrs. Yan pinched Yan Yuxiao’s nose slightly, teasing her daughter.

“I didn’t expect that Yuxiao will be so shy. You are going to be someone’s wife.”

“Mom, don’t tease me!”

Elderly Lady Gu chuckled, but held back her laughter as soon as she saw Gu Zijin’s gloomy face.

“I ask you to come here today because there’s something to discuss with you. Since you have decided to get married, we should make sure that there will be an engagement ceremony.”

Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan echoed.

“That’s why I invite Yuxiao’s parents here. We can plan this together.”

“Elderly Lady Gu, you enjoy high prestige. Such an important decision should be made by you.”

The old lady was delighted, looking at joyful Yan Yuxiao, “I must arrange everything well for Yuxiao.”

“Yuxiao’s so lucky that she can marry into such an outstanding family!”

Elderly Lady Gu turned around, gazing at Gu Zijin, “What’s your opinion? You’re the leading man. We should listen to your opinion.”

Looking around, Gu Zijin found everyone gazed at him expectantly.

“Sorry, I think you have made the decision in haste.”

The smile on Mr. Yan’s and Mrs. Yan’s faces froze.

However, they dared not get that straight before Gu Zijin. Hence, they forced a smile to ease the tension.

“He’s not experienced. It’s okay. We elders can handle this.”

Elderly Lady Gu glared at Gu Zijin, apologizing to Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan.

“Zijin’s straightforward. Don’t take his words seriously.”

“Don’t worry, grandma. We know that.” Yan Yuxiao smiled gently.

“Alas, Yuxiao’s really sensible.”

Shaking her head, the old lady said, “I don’t know what’s wrong with him. Why did he say that?”

“We can slow down for our marriage.” Ignoring Elderly Lady Gu’s words, Gu Zijin said directly.

“What?” His grandma goggled at him in disbelief.

“I need the evidence to prove that I should be responsible for her.” Gu Zijin rose to his feet idly, “I won’t admit that if I didn’t do it.”

“You!”

Elderly Lady Gu would like to beat him with her walking stick. However, she suppressed her fury before outsiders.

“If there’s nothing else, I should leave. Loads of things of the company need to be settled.” Said Gu Zijin.

Yan Yuxiao’s parents dared not say anything, but stood up to see Gu Zijin off.

Gu Zijin stepped out of the room not because he was impatient when dealing with those persons inside.

It was because he was sure that he didn’t sleep with Yan Yuxiao that night.

They set him up. He couldn’t accept that and wouldn’t be manipulated.

However, he hadn’t figured out a way to deal with the mess.

Gu Zijin became more perturbed as he pondered. Turning the corner, the car stopped at the company. He should carry on his business.

Qin Muxuan didn’t contact him recently.

Out of no reason, he missed her more and more as days went by.

“Lisa?”

“What’s wrong, Mr. Gu?”

Gu Zijin glanced at his watch. It was already nine o’clock at night.

“Are you still working?”

“There’s nothing to do when I’m at home. I’d like to work out everything left behind before I go back.”

Lisa thought President Gu might assign her a task, and she was nervous.

“Okay, can you do me a favor?”

‘Well, it comes.’

Lisa said helplessly, “Yes. What can I do for you?”

“Tell Qin Muxuan I will marry Yan Yuxiao.”

“What?”

Lisa was confused for a second, and then she understood Gu Zijin’s real intention. ‘It turns out Mr. Gu comes up with an idea.’ She immediately worked on it.

‘Well, Mr. Gu’s not so calm as he seems. He tries to prod Qin Muxuan into action.’

Qin Muxuan was helping Qin Xiaobai recite his lines. At this moment, the anchor in the TV announced a piece of breaking news.

“The Gu family and the Yan family plan Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao’s wedding day. It seems that all details are settled.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Settled?’

Qin Muxuan got a brain fade.

Suddenly, her phone received a message. Qin Muxuan took out the phone woodenly.

It was… from Gu Zijin.

“If I’m engaged, will you come?”

‘Will I go? Am I going to celebrate their wedding?’ Qin Muxuan gave a wry smile.

She fixed her eyes on the screen.

“Dabai, Dabai!”

“What?”

“Is dad going to get married?”

The woman knew that she couldn’t pull the wool over Xiaobai’s eyes, so she decided to tell him the truth.

“Yes. But don’t be sad. He’s still your dad no matter whom he marries.”

Qin Xiaobai was voiceless.

Gazing at his chubby face, Qin Muxuan rubbed it kissingly, “What? Are you still sad?”

“Just a little. After all, he’s my father.”

Qin Muxuan became mute. She thought, ‘I underestimated the love between father and son.’

Depressed, she ran through the script with Qin Xiaobai absent-mindedly.

“Dabai, you’ve made mistakes. You didn’t read them right. Just stop here.”

“Okay. Sorry, Xiaobai. I could not concentrate.”

Qin Xiaobai winked at his mother, “Dad sent you a message, right?”

“Yeah, he said he is going to get married and asked me if I would go there.”

Qin Xiaobai pouted furiously, pulling Qin Muxuan’s sleeve.

“You’re not going anywhere!”

Qin Muxuan tilted her head, “Why?”

“Because Dabai will be unhappy if you go there. I want you to be happy.”

Qin Xiaobai’s words might be simple but they showed the boy truly cared for her. Qin Muxuan knew perfectly well in her heart, ‘I broke up with Gu Zijin.’

She should avoid such a situation.

“Okay, I won’t go there.”

Looking straightly into her eyes, Qin Xiaobai asked, “Really?”

“I have never lied to you, right? I said I wouldn’t go there. Have a sweet dream. You won’t look good if you have dark circles tomorrow.”

“No! I must be perfect on the screen!”
