No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 238: Desperation



Getting on the swing, Qin Muxuan breathed in great gulps of air. A mild aroma flew in the air in the garden, which was better than the rotten smell of the room where she was imprisoned.

It was her first time to relax herself these days. Qin Muxuan thought she would become a lunatic if she didn’t leave the room and breathe the fresh air.

However, the hard-won peace didn’t last long. Someone interrupted.

“Oh, you’re still in the mood to swing.” A woman made screechy noises.

Frowning, Qin Muxuan followed the sound. “Why are you here?” She didn’t expect to see Yan Yuxiao here. At the sight of the woman, Qin Muxuan became out of sorts immediately. She tensed up.

Qin Muxuan was on the defensive subconsciously, trying to protect her unborn baby from Yan Yuxiao.

“Calm down. I’m just here to visit you.” Acting as though she was okay with it, Yan Yuxiao glimpsed at Qin Muxuan’s hands which covered her belly. Enmity crossed Yan Yuxiao’s eyes.

Pursing her lips, Qin Muxuan didn’t say anything. She stared at Yan Yuxiao nervously.

“Good news.” Walking towards Qin Muxuan, Yan Yuxiao was towering over the gravida. “Zijin and I are going to hold our wedding ceremony.”

This sentence blew Qin Muxuan’s mind. ‘How could it be possible? Gu Zijin won’t marry Yan Yuxiao.’

It was hard for her to erase the memory of that photo. However, when she saw Yan Yuxiao who stood before her, the picture again surfaced in her brain.

Struggling to suppress her qualm, Qin Muxuan said, “It’s impossible. I don’t believe you.” However, the trembling voice betrayed her.

Yan Yuxiao disdainfully squinted at Qin Muxuan who feigned calmness. “Then, look at this.” Reaching for two licenses with red covers in her bag, Yan Yuxiao handed them to Qin Muxuan.

When Qin Muxuan saw the red covers, a glimmer of desperation rose in her eyes. Tears blurred her sight in an instant. She was frozen. It took her a long time to take the marriage licenses in Yan Yuxiao’s hand.

Qin Muxuan opened one of the licenses shakily. A photo in which there were Yan Yuxiao and Gu Zijin stang Qin Muxuan’s eyes.

Qin Muxuan moved her finger to slightly rub Gu Zijin’s face. She felt there was a hole in her heart. In the picture, Gu Zijin even smiled. Yan Yuxiao grinned sweetly. It seemed that they made a perfect match.

“Well. Now you believe me, right? It’s a pity that you might not be able to attend our wedding. But I can invite you to our child’s baptism.” Yan Yuxiao giggled, inadvertently stroking her belly.

Qin Muxuan was astonished. Raising her head, she fixed her eyes on Yan Yuxiao’s abdomen.

‘Yan Yuxiao’s pregnant? She has Gu Zijin’s child?’

Qin Muxuan laughed at herself. ‘I thought Yan Yuxiao spread the rumors about Gu Zijin and her on purpose at the beginning, but how about the photo I received a few days ago? How about the picture in the marriage licenses and… Yan Yuxiao’s belly?’

Qin Muxuan sat there in silence. Tears kept streaming down her face.

Seeing that, Yan Yuxiao snatched the licenses and put them back in her bag. ‘She’s so stupid. I’m not pregnant. Gu Zijin treats me like crap. I even can’t get closer to him. How can I carry his baby inside?’

Stealthily stretching out her hands, Yan Yuxiao planned to push Qin Muxuan to the ground without anybody noticing.

Before Xiaoqi who stood watching was about to warn Qin Muxuan, another voice cut in first.

“Ms. Yan, we should take Ms. Qin back.” Said a bodyguard who overwatched Qin Muxuan. Elderly Lady Gu had set the time. It was time for him to imprison Qin Muxuan.

Yan Yuxiao withdrew her hands smoothly. “Okay.”

Xiaoqi was relieved. ‘Fortunately, the bodyguard came here in time.’

Qin Muxuan didn’t remember how she walked back to the room. She was voiceless on her way. Her eyes was full of tears. She found she was in the room when she got her thoughts together.

“Ms. Qin, just eat something. You haven’t drunk any water since you were back. Your baby’s thirsty.”

Peering at Qin Muxuan who sat there quietly, Xiaoqi was worried.

‘Baby? Gu Zijin must have proposed to me for it.’ Qin Muxuan kept telling herself to remain composed for her unborn baby. However, she thought of Yan Yuxiao’s kid when mentioning a child. ‘I have to say that I’m jealous now!’

‘They have their kid and marriage licenses. A wedding ceremony is on its way.’ Realizing that, Qin Muxuan was in agony.

“Ms. Qin? Could you hear me?” Xiaoqi called Qin Muxuan several times. However, the woman didn’t respond. Xiaoqi sighed and stepped out of the room.

After Xiaoqi left, Qin Muxuan slid slowly to the ground and buried her head in her arms, weeping aloud.

As soon as Xiaoqi locked the door, the wail made her worry about Qin Muxuan. ‘The news on TV was real. Gu Zijin really abandoned Qin Muxuan.’

“I’m here to give Ms. Qin a checkup.” A man’s voice interrupted Xiaoqi’s thoughts.

“Oh, sorry. Doc. Chen, could you please wait for a moment? It’s just not a good time now.”

“Okay, I’ll wait outside.”

Xiaoqi smiled at Doctor Chen. Not knowing the reason, she tried to show Qin Muxuan some respect. The gravida must hate being bothered now.

For a while, silence fell again. Xiaoqi opened the door. The doctor then strode in.

“Ms. Qin, It’s time for a routine checkup.” Noticing Qin Muxuan sat on the floor silently, Doctor Chen seemed to get used to it.

He walked towards her. A set of tools were taken from a medical box. He began to take Qin Muxuan’s blood pressure.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“You’re in the 5th month of pregnancy. It’s better to have meals on time, which also benefits the fetus.” After glancing at the intact meals on the table, Doctor Chen advised.

However, no one replied.

The doctor shook his head helplessly, packing his box.

“Tell Elderly Lady Gu that Ms. Qin and the baby are in stable conditions.” He said to Xiaoqi.

“Got it. Thank you, Doc. Chen.”

“It’s okay.”

Xiaoqi saw the doctor off. The air in the room again became still and musty. Staring out of the window with her empty eyes, Qin Muxuan was absent-minded.
