No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

As Gu Zijin left, Yan Yuxiao stopped sobbing. Holding Elderly Lady Gu’s hands, she stared at the old lady with her watery eyes. “Grandma, I can wait.”

“I’m not in a rush for I’ve been waiting for so many years.”

The more considerate she pretended to be, the guiltier Elderly Lady Gu felt. “Alas, he doesn’t care about your feelings. You still speak for him.”

Yan Yuxiao’s eyelids drooped, concealing malevolence in her eyes. “Uncle Gu just woke up. Zijin has to be concerned over many things…” She sighed meekly.

Patting Yan Yuxiao’s hands, the old lady was gratified. “I’m glad you care about him so much. A magnanimous woman like you deserves to be my granddaughter-in-law.”

“No worries. The wedding ceremony will be held this year.”

Elderly Lady Gu’s commitment didn’t delight Yan Yuxiao. ‘She keeps telling me that, but the wedding has been delayed year after. God!’

‘What’s worse, Zijin is obsessed with Qin Xuan who resembles Qin Muxuan. What an enchantress!’

Yan Yuxiao thought inwardly, but she pretended to be soft. “Okay, grandma. I’ll wait for the good news.” She nodded with a smile.

Qin Muxuan acted with Qin Xiaobai in the filming site.

The kid played a troublemaker while the woman played his head teacher who had just been in charge of the class. They had a quarrel because of seating arrangement according to grades.

This was the first scene they acted with each other and one of the climaxes to detonate the plot. The director named Zhang Jiayi attached great importance to the scene. He combed it through with them.

“Is it clear now?” The director who had expatiated upon the scene became thirsty. He gulped down half bottle of water.

As a dedicated actor, Qin Xiaobai nodded and turned to Qin Muxuan. “Give it a shot.”

Qin Muxuan had always kept an eye on his films and TV works these years. She entered the entertainment industry for protecting her son and connecting with him. The woman then nodded.

Seeing that, Qin Xiaobai immediately became a dandiacal boy who leaned against a wall with arms folded and a foot resting on the wall. He sneered, “Grades? Why not arrange seats according to identity and fortune?”

“The title of Doctor means nothing. You also have to work for my family.”

He was arrogant and philistine.

Qin Xiaobai was professional. It seemed that the teenager in the script was standing before them.

Qin Muxuan, who had never acted with him, was dumbfounded at that moment. Fortunately, she gathered her thoughts together in an instant. The woman responded.

It was a balancing act. The two cooperated naturally. Their brilliant performance drew people’s attention.

Zhang Jiayi was joyful for they brought these two characters to life. He hadn’t expected that. The director interrupted them as the two were about to finish the scene, “All right! We’ll start shooting soon. Save your energy.”

Qin Muxuan was elder and amateur. She was not completely involved in acting, so she turned back into herself as soon as the director cut in.

However, the kid couldn’t do that. Acting was his thing, so he polished his skills as long as he had time. Qin Xiaobai made progress rapidly, but he was more easily stuck in the scene.

The child was wallowing in acting after Qin Muxuan stopped. He stayed silent for a while and finally became himself.

The mother was concerned. Walking over, she stroked his head, “Have you always forgotten to eat and rest when you’re acting?”

Qin Xiaobai was not aware of that. He contemplated for a while and then shook his head, “No. Yiyi will remind me of having meals.”

Hearing that, the woman became more worried.

Before Qin Muxuan entered the industry, she had done some research. Some acclaimed gifted actors and actress could be in characters at anytime and anywhere. They were in their elements when acting. However, those talents might come around and bite them.

Xiaobai was one of them.

Qin Muxuan was unwilling to see that.

The kid was frolicking. Noticing that, the woman pursed her lips and hid her worries. ‘I won’t let him be stuck in the play as long as I’m with him.’

Qin Muxuan who joined the crew abruptly had received warm welcome because of her outstanding performance and small gifts. She asked Yiyi to inform her if Xiaobai acted weirdly.

“You really care about Xiaobai, Ms. Qin.” Yiyi sent a direct message to Qin Muxuan after they were Wechat friends.

Qin Muxuan’s eyelashes flickered, “I was amazed by his performance. Now, I’m his fan. His health means a lot to me.”

“Well, I’m his fan, too! I wish him every success.”

Qin Muxuan made use of the opportunity, “We are both his fans. Please take care of him.”

“Of course.” Yiyi made an okay gesture and ran over towards Qin Xiaobai who had just finished a scene.

Qin Muxuan didn’t approach the boy. Sitting not far away from him, she gazed at the kid mutely.

The mother caressed her baby boy through tender gaze, trying to make up for the loss of the past three years.

Feeling her gaze, Qin Xiaobai looked up at her. He grinned, revealing perfect white teeth.

She smiled back at him.

Although she didn’t tell him the truth, gooey feelings between them was conspicuous.

Qin Muxuan was about to leave with Qin Xiaobai after he finished his work at 5 in the afternoon. However, Jian Xi who was freaked out about something stopped her.

The woman drew Qin Muxuan aside, snapping a phone under her friend’s nose. “Mr. Gu’s divorce is on trending!”

Qin Muxuan’s eyes widened. She snatched the phone and browsed through the news.

‘It’s not divorce. The online announcement makes it clear that he didn’t marry Yan Yuxiao and has never lived with her.’

Qin Muxuan gasped, “It’s… It’s crazy.”

Although she complained, she was cheerful inwardly.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“He’s saved himself for you in these years.” Jian Xi butted Qin Muxuan with her shoulders, teasing. “Would you mind rekindling an old affair?”

Hearing that, Qin Muxuan felt a swell of joys. However, Elderly Lady Gu’s detestation and beauties around Gu Zijin calmed her down immediately. She pushed her friend away impassively and gave the phone back, “I don’t deserve that.”

Seeing that, Jian Xi sniffed, “Youting cares about you and Xin, but Mr. Gu’s Xiaobai and Xin’s biological father. Your son’s lived with him for so many years…”

“Think it over. Xin hasn’t gone to school yet, so she’s not aware of the importance of a father. Thing will be different when she’s at school.” Jian Xi stopped at where it should. She tapped Qin Muxuan’s shoulder and strode towards her car.

Standing still, Qin Muxuan sank into a reverie.

Qin Xiaobai had removed his makeup. The boy in white T-shirt and slacks trotted over. He thought Qin Muxuan was waiting for him. The kid then held her hands and slightly jiggled them, “Xuanxuan!” Grinned him.

He had nicknamed her in the morning when they had had a chitchat.

Qin Muxuan turned her complicated expression to a smile. They looked alike at this moment.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to the KFC.”

“Hurrah!” Exclaiming, the boy wiggled his body.

She was amused. He led her out while she was imagining that Xin and Xiaobai both held her hands.

However, someone spoiled her imagination.

“Xiaobai.” Yan Yuxiao waved at them with a smile. She leaned against her scarlet Ferrari sports car.

“I’ll drive you home.”

The kid’s delighted face turned grim. He glared at Yan Yuxiao, “I don’t want you. I have a driver.”

Qin Xiaobai was embarrassed. She hardly maintained her smile, “Grandma asked me to do so.”

“What happened?” The boy said in a businesslike way.

“Nothing. Uncle Gu misses you.”

“I’ll take the driver’s car.” Qin Xiaobai rejected her coldly. He then turned to Qin Muxuan reluctantly, “Sorry, Xuanxuan. I have to leave.”

Qin Muxuan rubbed his head, “We can make an appointment next time.”

‘I’ll keep him company and protect him. I’m no rush.’

Qin Xiaobai got in the van driven by Lee Cheng and left.

Yan Yuxiao who was ignored by the boy gnashed. She slammed the door shut and stepped heavily on the gas. The car galloped away after exhaust fumes overwhelmed Qin Muxuan.

The woman stood there didn’t have time to dodge. She could only cover her mouth and nose.

‘I hate her.’

‘She’s more hateful than three years ago. Yan Yuxiao doesn’t bother to pretend in my presence.’

‘Well, that helps me.’

An evil smile climbed onto Qin Muxuan’s face. She got into the belated car driven by Jian Xi.

“Don’t smile like this.” Noticing that, Jian Xi had goose bumps all over her body.

Qin Muxuan squinted at her friend and buckled the seatbelt. “Let’s go to Youting’s place.”

**

The woman tiptoed out of the room after coaxing Qin Xin into sleeping. The girl was clingier for not seeing her mother in a day. In the next moment, Qin Muxuan ran into Yin Youting.

Putting an arm around her waist, the man helped her take a firm stand. Then he released her like a gentleman and stepped back. “It’s late. You still wanna go?” Yin Youting stared at her.

“Yep.” She lowered her head to tucked loosened hair behind her ear. “Xin has already bothered you.”

“Well, she hasn’t slept through a night without you, right? If she wakes up in the morning and can’t find you, she will cry. I don’t know how to calm her down.” Yin Youting scowled as if he had no idea, “I’m not experienced in the baby stuff…”

He didn’t ask her to stay, but the woman was aware of his intention.

She squinted at him, teasing, “You’ve made a plan.”

‘He must have evolved this idea when accepting Xin to live here.’

Yin Youting didn’t deny it. “I don’t mind you staying here. This place needs buzz and oomph.”
