No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 20: The Dog Is Sick



“Hmm!”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Be a little quiet. What if we awake Xiaobai?”

Gu Zijin kindly reminded her. However, Qi Muxuan seemed to see Gu Zijin’s foxtail shaking complacently. She should keep her eyes closed instead of looking around even if she couldn’t fall asleep.

Only when Gu Zijin felt Qin Muxuan stop struggling did he close his eyes with satisfaction and kiss Qin Muxuan deeper.

But what he wanted was beyond this. He wanted more and more…

“Qin Muxuan.”

Gu Zijin called out her name in a hoarse voice. Qin Muxuan got brain hypoxia because of the kiss. Her body was soft and she learned on Gu Zijin’s arms. Gu Zijin hugged Qin Muxuan sideways. At last, reason prevailed, “Sleep now. We need to get up early tomorrow. Good night.”

At dawn the next day.

Ms. Gu, Ye Han had a habit of getting up early to make tea so as to keep herself in good health. She just prepared to go downstairs to let Aunt Chen boil water when she saw Gu Zijin coming out from Qin Muxuan’s room. She suddenly felt stunned, “Zijin, why do you come out from here?”

“Last night, I told Xiaobai a bedtime story and I fell asleep.”

“Then you and Qin Muxuan…”

Ye Han wanted to ask more, but Gu Zijin already rubbed his eyebrows, “Mom, I will have a video conference in the morning. There’s nothing between me and Qin Muxuan.”

Of course, Ms. Gu didn’t believe it but she didn’t continue to ask. Gu Zijin was cold usually, and if she kept asking, she wouldn’t know more and could only make him angry.

Qin Muxuan was relieved when she got up and saw Gu Zijin was not there. Last night, when she was held by Gu Zijin, there was a feeling of dependence emerging inside and she even fell asleep imperceptibly. Fortunately, Gu Zijin was not here now; otherwise, when she woke up, she would feel embarrassed when thinking of what happened last night.

“Mommy, I’ve finished brushing my teeth.”

Qin Xiaobai wore a limited edition white T-shirt. His delicate features were almost the same as Gu Zijin’s, except for some naivety. Qin Muxuan walked over, hugged Qin Xiaobai and kissed him, “Let’s go downstairs to have breakfast.”

“Um!”

Gu Zijin was still in the study. It was not until Qin Muxuan finished breakfast that he went downstairs in a suit. He took a look at Qin Muxuan, “Let’s go.”

Ms. Gu spoke instantly, “Zijin, you haven’t had breakfast.”

“I will eat at the office.”

Ye Han knew well that Gu Zijin just talked but never did it. When he arrived at the company, he might return to work and forget to eat breakfast. Thinking that Gu Zijin came out from Qin Muxuan’s room this morning, she got an idea and looked at Qin Muxuan, “Muxuan, help me to take care of Zijin. You must remind him to eat breakfast.”

Qin Muxuan had to agree. The Elderly Lady Gu had prejudice against her, but Mrs. Gu was still good to her.

Qin Xiaobai already carried a small bag and sat on the housekeeper’s car, waving and saying “goodbye” to Qin Muxuan and Gu Zijin.

They got in the dazzlingly black Bentley. Qin Muxuan wanted to open the door of the backseat, but she found the door was locked. So, she had to sit on the front passenger seat. Gu Zijin looked ahead and started the car.

Along the way, Qin Muxuan found Gu Zijin’s face was a little pale. However, because of what happened last night, her words of concern had not been spoken at all. The car was slowly parked in the underground garage. Qin Muxuan thought of what Mrs. Gu told her, and she said, “President Gu, when you get to the office, remember to ask your assistant to buy you breakfast.”

“You buy it for me. Mom asked you to do it.”

Gu Zijin looked at Qin Muxuan sideways, and his eyes were filled with irresistible pressure. Qin Muxuan was speechless. This man even asked for the help of others in such a forceful manner.

Then, after Gu Zijin left, Qin Muxuan ran to the restaurant first. The restaurant of Gu Group provided three meals a day. Qin Muxuan looked at all kinds of breakfast and she finally picked a bowl of plain porridge and a few light pickles when thinking of Gu Zijin’s poor stomach. After that, she took the food and got in the elevator.

At this time, there were not many employees, so no one noticed that Qin Muxuan went to the 21st floor. Lisa saw Qin Muxuan carrying breakfast and going towards the President’s Office, and she originally wanted to stop her. But when she thought Qin Muxuan had lunch with the President, she just asked what Qin Muxuan took and then let her go.

Qin Muxuan walked to the door of the President’s Office. On the brown and black door were written “President’s Office” with gold tooling. Qin Muxuan took a breath and knocked on the door. Then a low voice came from the door, “Come in.”

Qin Muxuan looked at Gu Zijin. Gu Zijin didn’t sit on the boss chair to deal with business; instead, he sat on the sofa with his hands on the stomach unnaturally. Qin Muxuan knew Gu Zijin was uncomfortable at a glance. She put the food on the table and said, “Do you have a stomachache?”

Gu Zijin didn’t answer and tacitly admitted. Qin Muxuan frowned, “Why didn’t you tell me just now? Or I will buy you some medicine.”

“Not a big deal.”

“When did it begin to hurt?” Qin Muxuan’s words showed some blame. Unexpectedly, Gu Zijin didn’t feel angry but answered corporately, “When we are at home in the morning.”

Qin Muxuan poured a glass of warm water for Gu Zijin. After watching him drink, she opened the bowl with porridge and the pleasing smell of porridge spread. Gu Zijin didn’t have an appetite, so naturally, he didn’t want to touch it. However, after he saw that Qin Muxuan took a spoon to scoop up the porridge and passed it to his lips, his body was still very cooperative and he ate it.

When Qin Xiaobai was uncomfortable, Qin Muxuan looked after him like this. After feeding Gu Zijin with a bowl of porridge, Qin Muxuan just felt wrong. Gu Zijin had hands, and why did she feed him? However, when she saw Gu Zijin’s pale face, she did not say it out.

“I go to buy medicine. Wait for me here. If you really feel sick, ask your assistant to take you to the hospital, ok?”

Gu Zijin took Qin Muxuan’s hand and suddenly, Qin Muxuan was pulled down on the sofa by Gu Zijin. Gu Zijin pressed Qin Muxuan sideways and compressed his lips slightly, “Qin Muxuan, do you care about me just because of Xiaobai?”

“Or do you think there’s something else?”

A little expectation disappeared in Gu Zijin’s eyes, and it was replaced by slight disappointment. Qin Muxuan pushed away Gu Zijin and curled her lips slightly, “If it were not for your stomachache, you would have been half-paralyzed from my kick when you did that to me.”

When Gu Zijin heard that, his face became dark. Qin Muxuan didn’t show any concern. She stood up directly and walked outside.

Gu Zijin looked at Qin Muxuan’s back and his eyes became deep. It seemed that something was starting to get out of his control at some point.

Because Qin Muxuan didn’t know whether Gu Zijin had a mild or severe stomachache, she bought all kinds of medicine.

Qin Muxuan found it cost more than one thousand yuan and grudged paying so much.

Could she be reimbursed for the money?

The thought, however, was quickly dispelled. If she did that, Gu Zijin might think she was stingy and would despise her in all possible ways.

Qin Muxuan was carrying the medicine bag and going upstairs when she met Chu Feng. Chu Feng warmly greeted Qin Muxuan. When he saw the bag she was carrying, he couldn’t help frowning and worrying, and he said, “Qin Muxuan, are you sick? Why do you buy so much medicine?”

“Well, the dog at home got sick and I didn’t know what medicine to buy. After I asked the doctor, I bought all kinds of medicine.”

“You are good to your pet. May I go to your house to play someday?”

Qin Muxuan looked slightly guilty, but she still said yes.

Otherwise, it would be too suspicious.

Qin Muxuan went into the President’s Office again and scattered the medicine on the table, “What kind of medicine do you usually take?”

Gu Zijin stretched out his hand to pick out two bottles of medicine, “Three for each of these two bottles will be enough.”

Qin Muxuan looked at the rest and mumbled, “Then I’ll return the rest.”
