No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

After he went upstairs, he opened the room doors one after another, but still couldn’t find Qin Muxuan anywhere.

‘Impossible, that’s impossible.’

Lisa had told him that Qin Muxuan had been locked up here. However, there was not a single person here, not to mention the woman he was looking for. After he searched the whole place, he slumped on the floor.

Right now, he was no longer that successful man. He was not Master Gu, or President Gu, but an ordinary man who lost the woman he loved.

His eyes turned red and he was even about to cry.

Right at this moment, his phone suddenly rang. “Buzz-buzz-buzz.”

He answered the call right away. Lisa’s voice came on the phone, “President, Madam has already been transferred by Elderly Lady Gu. The old lady has leaked the message on purpose in order to mislead us.”

“Keep investigating. I will find her!” Gu Zijin even wanted to tie Elderly Lady Gu up to force the latter to tell him Qin Muxuan’s whereabouts. However, he couldn’t do that because she was his grandma no matter what she had done.

“Yes, sir. Yesterday, I announced to the reporters that we’ll hold a press conference at one o’clock in the afternoon. By then all the major media agencies would come. Do you want to come early?”

Lisa knew that Gu Zijin was not in the mood of attending the press conference. However, if he didn’t attend the conference, those evil-minded people would make a big fuss about it. If the Gu Group’s stocks were influenced, things would be difficult for Gu Zijin.

Gu Zijin understood Lisa’s words. After he stayed silent for a long while, he said, “I’ll go.” He couldn’t let Elderly Lady Gu find fault with him now. If anything happened to the Gu Group, he would not only lose the chance of saving Qin Muxuan but also be kicked out of the company by the members of the board.

After all, some of the old members of the board were Elderly Lady Gu’s acquaintances. If Elderly Lady Gu wanted to distract Gu Zijin, she would definitely contact them.

Hearing Gu Zijin’s words, Lisa let out a sigh of relief, feeling lucky that Gu Zijin hadn’t lost his ration.

After Gu Zijin hung up the phone, he lay on the ground weakly. As long as he closed his eyes, Qin Muxuan’s face would appear in his mind. He remembered everything they had been through, feeling his heart aching badly.

He didn’t know how Qin Muxuan was doing now or if Elderly Lady Gu gave her anything to eat, or if the child in her belly was still alive.

After he had been lying there for a long time, he got up and found it was nearly twelve o’clock.

He went to the bathroom to check himself. The man in the mirror had two dark circles under his eyes which were filled with redness and even a bushy moustache on his face.

Then, he cooled himself down, knowing that he couldn’t go to the company like this. Therefore, he went back home to get changed and tided himself up. After that, he went to the Gu Group.

When he arrived, the reporters were already waiting in the hall.

Gu Zijin fixed his collar and went on the stage. After he arrived at the middle of the stage, he pulled the chair to sit down and then looked to the reporters off the stage.

Seeing him coming over, the reporters rushed forward in the crowd at once. Some of them even wanted to climb on the stage.

“President Gu, did you call on this press conference in order to explain what happened yesterday?” A reporter squeezed her way to the front and asked that.

Gu Zijin approached the microphone, “That’s right.”

“Then, can you explain what has happened between you and the Yan family?” Another reporter asked that, followed by tons of questions raised by other reporters.

The questions overwhelmed Gu Zijin along with the flashlights.

“President Gu, are you in a relationship with Miss Yan secretly?”

“President Gu, I heard that you already dumped Qin Muxuan and will marry Yan Yuxiao, is that true?”

The news about Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao’s marriage which was told by that reporter created a huge stir in the crowd. Other reporters then asked questions about that explosive news right away.

The press conference was in a mess and the situation was out of control.

Gu Zijin looked to the crowd and found that the reporter who had uttered those words already disappeared. However, he was pretty sure that the reporter was sent by Elderly Lady Gu.

Lisa brought some bodyguards to block those reporters after she saw things getting out of control.

“Sorry, you guys, but that’s enough for today.”

Then, Gu Zijin left, escorted by Lisa. However, those reporters still wouldn’t give up and followed them. After Gu Zijin walked into the office, those reporters were finally shut out.

Hearing the noises from the outside, Lisa frowned while wondering who had spread the word about Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao getting married.

“President, I’ll send someone to investigate who spread that rumor right away.”

“There’s no need to do that. It’s my grandma.” Gu Zijin sighed with tiredness on his face.

“President, what about the conference and the Yan family…”

If things continued like this, the Gu Group would surely suffer. When Gu Zijin threatened Elderly Lady Gu with the Yan family, he had been pretty sure that the old lady was not able to protect the Yan family.

Now it seemed that he had underestimated Elderly Lady Gu.

Actually, at that time, Elderly Lady Gu hadn’t been very confident about saving the Yan family either. However, she had a spy in the Gu Group who could tip her off. Because of that, she had managed to save the Yan family.

“Contact our PR company and make a declaration.”

“Yes, president. I’ve been trying to find where Madam is, but I haven’t achieved anything yet.” Lisa was a bit worried about Gu Zijin’s condition, knowing how important Qin Muxuan was to him.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Send more people. You have to find her before it is dark even if you have to turn the city upside down.”

“Yes, sir.”

After Lisa left, the noises made by the reporters also disappeared. Perhaps Lisa had sent them away.

Gu Zijin looked to the outside. He didn’t have too much time after the whole drama.

“Hello.” He dialed a number.

“You are in charge of taking care of Xiaobai now. You have to keep him company 24/7,” Gu Zijin said on the phone.

He was afraid that Yan Yuxiao would harm Xiaobai again. Qin Muxuan had already been locked up by Elderly Lady Gu, and he couldn’t let anything happen to Qin Xiaobai now.

The person on the other side of the line agreed. Then Gu Zijin hung up the phone. Although he had already given that order, the slightly wrinkled eyebrows and the stern look on his face suggested that he was not relieved at all.

‘Qin Muxuan… Qin Muxuan…’

Gu Zijin murmured her name over and over again deep down. Every time he thought that Qin Muxuan was locked up by Elderly Lady Gu, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart. Then he clenched his fists, hating himself for not protecting her well.

After a long while, Gu Zijin let out a deep sigh. He restrained his feeling and stared at one place, lost in thought.

It was getting dark. It was time for Qin Xiaobai to get off school.

“Ting-ting”. The bell rang.

“All right, everyone, remember to do your painting homework at home tonight! I’ll check your work tomorrow. Whoever paints best could get a toy car!” Hardly had the painting teacher’s voice faded when the kids in the class all got excited.

Although they were all born into prestigious and noble families, the presents which they won by themselves were still different to them from the ones that their families bought for them.

“Xiaobai, do you want the toy car?” Xiaoqin patted on Qin Xiaobai’s shoulder.

Qin Xiaobai shook his head.
