No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

When Qin Muxuan came back to the bedroom after she had finished telling stories to Qin Xiaobai, she saw Gu Zijin standing by the French windows. His figure seemed lonely and aloof. Then she couldn’t help but walk over and hold his hand, saying,

“Why haven’t you gone to sleep?”

As he felt the tenderness of her hand, he showed a gentle look in his eyes and held her in his arms. It was blowing and raining outside and the leaves of the plane tree had already faded and fallen. The scene wasn’t beautiful at all.

Gu Zijin gave a smile,

“Qin Muxuan, I’ve said that I wanted you to consider becoming my wife, right?”

Qin Muxuan got dazed, with a sad look appearing in her eyes. Elderly Lady Gu had tried every means to drive her away, so even if Gu Zijin wanted to marry her, she was still not willing to marry him at least for now because she didn’t want to be a burden to Gu Zijin. Gu Zijin lowered his head to look at the expression on her face. For the moment, he suddenly felt that he was not able to figure out what this woman was thinking.

He had thought that he knew everything of her. However, now he only found her harder to understand as they stayed together longer. Gu Zijin compressed his lips, feeling quite vexed deep down. This feeling of being unable to control something only meant that he had a weak spot right now.

The next day, Qin Muxuan had a day off, so she had time to focus on designing her entry for the international contest. She had to finish this piece before the end of next month. Since it would normally take ten to fifteen days to finish a design, she had to start right now.

Ever since Gu Heng had an accident, Mrs. Gu had been staying in low spirits all the time and didn’t even go out these days. Sometimes Qin Muxuan had to bring the meals to her.

Qin Xiaobai clung to Qin Muxuan and pulled her sleeves while saying in a tender voice,

“Dabai, if grandma continues being sad like this, she will become thin. Can you ask her to go for a walk?”

‘The world of adults is always complicated.’ Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan rubbed Xiaobai’s head and said,

“Xiaobai, grandma needs to be quiet for a while. Let’s not bother her, all right?”

“OK!”

After Qin Muxuan finished sending meals to Mrs. Gu, she saw a van parking outside the Gu’s house. Next, Yan Yuxiao walked out of the van. Qin Xiaobai had no good impression of Yan Yuxiao. Then he said sullenly,

“Mommy, hasn’t Miss Yan come to our house too often?”

The moment Yan Yuxiao entered the room, she heard Xiaobai’s words at once. Then the look on her face got a bit sulky. She had thought that Qin Xiaobai would have changed his opinion about her after she saved him last time. Never did she expect that Qin Xiaobai was still hostile to her. ‘He’s just a child. Why is he more difficult to deal with than the adults?’

Thinking of that, Yan Yuxiao showed an angry look in her eyes. It was not enough to have only Elderly Lady Gu’s support if she wanted to marry into the Gu’s family. Now, Qin Xiaobai also became an obstacle to her. Yan Yuxiao had to think further about how to fulfill her wish.

“Muxuan, last time when we met in your firm, I found your face a bit pale. Here is some nutrition food I brought to you. Please accept this.”

Qin Muxuan took that and expressed her thanks. Then she added,

“Elderly Lady Gu is still sleeping right now. If you want to see her, you might have to wait here for a while. Let me pour a cup of tea for you first.”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Yan Yuxiao stopped Qin Muxuan and said with a smile,

“Let Nanny Chen do that. I didn’t come here to visit grandma today. I want to chat with you. You see, I really wanted to help you when seeing the news about you on the Internet before, but I was not able to do that. Sorry that I wasn’t of any help.”

“It’s not your fault.”

Qin Muxuan never blamed Yan Yuxiao for the netizens’ stinging rebuke since she never felt it was Yan Yuxiao’s fault anyway. Yan Yuxiao was glad to hear Qin Muxuan’s words and said smilingly,

“I heard that you would attend the international design contest, right? I brought you lots of relevant papers. My assistant helped me sort those out.”

Yan Yuxiao took out a silver USB flash disk from her bag. Qin Muxuan didn’t think much and took the disk at once, feeling a bit touched. She never thought that Yan Yuxiao would be so considerate of her. As a result, Qin Muxuan had a better impression of Yan Yuxiao.

When Elderly Lady Gu walked downstairs, she saw Qin Muxuan still making drawings on the sofa. Then the old lady snorted,

“Nanny Chen, make some soup which could help me cool down. These days, I always get sulky.”

Qin Muxuan knew that Elderly Lady Gu was making an oblique accusation against her, so she forced herself not to care. In the meantime, Nanny Chen still had to follow the old lady’s order. Suddenly, she remembered something and said,

“Elderly Lady Gu, Miss Yan just came and brought a few gifts to you. You were asleep at that time, so she didn’t wake you up.”

Hearing that Yan Yuxiao had come, Elderly Lady Gu finally showed a gentle look,

“Yuxiao is so considerate. She always thinks for me.”

Elderly Lady Gu who still had some scruples because of what had happened before chose to turn a blind eye to Qin Muxuan. ‘Yuxiao hasn’t found that doctor yet and Gu Heng did have an accident that night. If we really messed up with the dosage of the glucose, Zijin will hold us responsible, and I also can not forgive myself.’

Qin Muxuan was not someone who could be bullied easily. Elderly Lady Gu who knew about that decided not to push Qin Muxuan too hard in case the latter would do something desperate. What was more, it was clear that Gu Zijin liked Qin Muxuan a lot. If Qin Muxuan gave some clues to him, he would definitely be able to find out that Yan Yuxiao had gone to the hospital that night.

Yan Yuxiao was the granddaughter of an old friend of Elderly Lady Gu after all. If Yan Yuxiao got implicated in this, the old lady would feel so guilty to her friend who had already passed away.

The Gu group, in the office on the seventeenth floor.

Gu Zijin was reading the papers on the desk. Lisa pushed the door open and walked into the room,

“President Gu, the video clip in the hospital you asked me to check has already been destroyed by someone on purpose. But I have bought off a few nurses and they told me that Miss Yan seemed to have sneaked into the hospital that night.”

“OK, I see.”

Gu Zijin compressed his thin lips. Now that he knew that Yan Yuxiao was involved in this, he assumed that Elderly Lady Gu must be related too. Then he realized that Qin Muxuan really had told him the truth. Lisa looked to Gu Zijin and asked,

“President, what can we do about this?”

“Lay it aside for a moment. By the way, have you contacted the staff who are in charge of the international design contest?”

“Yes, the organizers have already agreed to let Miss Qin attend the contest. Then the judges who had some negative opinions about this also stopped raising any objection. But there’s one thing I don’t understand. President, if you want to train Miss Qin, you can use the resources of our company. Why did you spare no efforts to help her enter the contest while she still has to win by herself?”

Gu Zijin stood up to look at the high buildings outside the French windows while uttering the profound words,

“Lisa, I think you know the Qin family. Although the scale of their family business is not very large, their family was still very prestigious five years ago.”

Lisa understood Gu Zijin’s words at once. Qin Muxuan was unlike the ordinary women. A lady from such a big family would always have her pride, even if her family had already lost the prestige.
