No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Qin Muxuan let her guard down and said in a low voice,

“Only for a short moment, we can’t stay for too long…”

“Why did Chu Feng hold your hand?”

He changed the subject so quickly that Qin Muxuan wasn’t even able to react. Then she could only tell the truth bashfully,

“He told me how he felt about me.”

“Felt about you?”

Gu Zijin chewed the three words over and then said with a terrifying look in his eyes,

“He loves you?”

“Yes, but I already refused him.”

“Good.”

Gu Zijin swallowed his words and stopped talking. He had wanted to say that if she agreed to be Chu Feng’s girlfriend, he would definitely punish her.

After they stood for a while, Gu Zijin endured the pain and stood up straight, saying,

“Let’s go.”

“OK…”

Qin Muxuan followed him like a tame rabbit. While she was staring at the glossy elevator, she wanted to ask Gu Zijin why he had clarified his relationship with Yan Yuxiao.

She had seen clearly how worried he was when holding Yan Yuxiao in his arms… However, although those words were on the tip of her tongue, she still didn’t ask anything. She thought that she didn’t have the right to ask that question.

Gu Zijin turned his head slightly and saw the expression on Qin Muxuan’s face clearly through the reflection of the elevator door. Then he said in a low voice,

“Have lunch with me.”

“…”

The President’s Office.

Qin Muxuan watched Gu Zijin eating his lunch in a leisurely manner. She stared at his chopsticks the whole time. If she knew that her president had only wanted to have lunch with her, she wouldn’t have dined outside.

“Knock, knock.”

“Come in.”

Lisa entered the room, only to find Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan eating together. Only after a long while did Lisa come back to her sense. Then she pushed her glasses up and told herself, ‘That’s normal, very normal… The iron tree is in blossom now. I just have to adapt to it.”

“President Gu, the customer from Country C who has declined us many times booked a table in Huaji Restaurant. Do you want to go there?”

“No, I’ll go home tonight.”

“Fine.”

After Lisa left, Qin Muxuan propped her chin up and asked,

“Why not go? You don’t have anything to do anyway.”

“I want to stay with Xiaobai.”

Hearing his sincere answer, Qin Muxuan didn’t even know how to retort him. The truth was that she was always the one keeping Xiaobai company every time..

As Qin Muxuan was about to get off work, Mu Mu knocked on the door of her office,

“Muxuan, someone is looking for you in the waiting room.”

“Looking for me?”

Qin Muxuan, as doubtful as she was, still stood up and walked to the waiting room. Then she saw the anxious Nanny Chen from far away. As the latter saw Qin Muxuan, she said with a meaningful look in her eyes,

“Elderly Lady Gu is waiting for you inside.”

Qin Muxuan had a bad feeling about it. Still, she pushed the door open and walked into the room.

Elderly Lady Gu was sitting on the sofa and her walking stick was set aside. The look on her face was still very cold, which made her seem quite domineering.

“Have you pestered Zijin to clarify the rumor?”

Qin Muxuan suddenly wanted to laugh, thinking, ‘Why do you have to blame everything on me? You really regard me as your punchbag, don’t you?’ Then she asked in a sarcastic tone,

“Did President Gu tell you that?”

“Qin Muxuan! What is that attitude?”

“Elderly Lady Gu, I think that respect should be a mutual thing. Although you disdain me so much, I won’t do anything to upset you on purpose. But please do not find fault with me over and over again. I am a human, not a doormat!”

Seeing Qin Muxuan’s tough attitude, Elderly Lady Gu got even angrier. Then she snorted and said,

“You think you have the right to talk to me like that? Hasn’t Zijin told you that you could be employed by the Qixing Group only because of the help from the Gu Group?”

Qin Muxuan shivered fiercely. Meanwhile, Elderly Lady Gu, knowing that she had hit the soft spot of Qin Muxuan, continued in a clear voice,

“Don’t think that you deserve to be Zijin’s wife because you have given birth to Xiaobai. Truth is, you got everything you have now by leeching on to Zijin.”‘

After saying that, Elderly Lady Gu took her walking stick and stood up, saying in a cold voice,

“One should always know his place. Miss Qin, what do you say?”

After the door behind Qin Muxuan had been closed, she felt her hand extremely cold. It turned out that she had got her job because of the Gu Family instead of her personal ability.

Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan suddenly felt herself rather pathetic with tears welling up in her eyes, looking quite pitiful.

Gu Zijin didn’t see Qin Muxuan when he got off work, nor did he receive any call from her. When he dialed her number, he only found that she had turned off her phone. With his eyebrows knitted tightly, he began to think, ‘It’s raining outside. Where will she be?”

At this moment, dark clouds were gathering in the sky of City A and the rain was pelting down.

The people on the street all held colorful umbrellas except for Qin Muxuan. Right now, she was walking ahead with her body completely wet by the rain.

When Gu Zijin saw Qin Muxuan, his heart ached with pity. Then he got off the car and grabbed Qin Muxuan’s wrist, asking,

“What happened to you?”

Qin Muxuan, without saying a word, let Gu Zijin drag her into the car without struggling.

Although the air-conditioner was on, Qin Muxuan still couldn’t help but huddle up with coldness. Seeing her red eyes, Gu Zijin guessed that she might have cried. Then he, lips compressed, said,

“Qin Muxuan, you can tell me what has happened.”

“Gu Zijin, why didn’t you tell me that you are the one offering me this job?”

The look in Gu Zijin’s eyes turned sullen right away. He bit his lips and then said,

“Does it make any difference?”

“Yes, it does. I want to gain my position through my own hard work instead of seeking help from the Gu Family… I never want to accept the favor from your family.”

Qin Muxuan’s watery eyes were filled with sadness, which made her look quite pitiful. Gu Zijin realized what had happened right away,

“Has grandma said something to you?”

Qin Muxuan still didn’t utter anything. When they arrived at the Gu’s house, Gu Zijin tried to hold Qin Muxuan’s hand. However, she dodged him silently. Although there was a displeased look flashing in his eyes, he still asked Nanny Chen to cook ginger soup for Qin Muxuan.

After Qin Muxuan had got changed, she slipped into her quilt and fell asleep right away. The next day when she woke up, she felt her throat dry and hoarse and her head spinning.

Today was Saturday. Gu Zijin had already gone to the study. After Qin Muxuan had tried very hard to climb up, she put her hand on her forehead, feeling it burning hot. She didn’t expect that Gu Zijin would take her to hospital, so after she had washed her face and brushed her teeth, she asked Uncle Chen to send her to hospital.

As Gu Zijin came out of the study, he looked at his bedroom door subconsciously. Nanny Chen happened to go upstairs to bring him coffee. Then Gu Zijin asked,

“Qin Muxuan hasn’t woken up yet?”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Miss Qin went out just now. She didn’t look very well, I think she said that she would go to hospital.”

“Hospital?”

Gu Zijin, with flames of fury flickering in his eyes, said immediately,

“Didn’t she drink the ginger soup last night?”

“No, she didn’t…”

Gu Zijin, mouth twitched, went downstairs instantly. After telling the driver to drive the car out, he headed to the Central Hospital in the car at once. On the way there, he was still thinking of what that stupid woman had been like. Last night he did not wake her since she had fallen asleep first. He never expected that she would hide her sickness from him.

In the Central Hospital.

Qin Muxuan asked Uncle Chen to wait outside and walked into the hospital by herself to register first. A few nurses were pushing a wheeled stretcher while crying out,

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”

Qin Muxian didn’t hear what they were saying and only saw a stretcher being pushed toward her. Then she, having no time to dodge, was knocked by the stretcher…
