No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

‘Is it really worth to keep the siblings from knowing their relationships with each other because of my own wish?’

Qin Muxuan lowered her head with a complicated expression on her face.

Jian Xi who heard Qin Muxuan’s mutter rubbed the latter’s shoulder as a comfort. After a while, Jian Xi left to find the two kids.

Qin Muxuan stayed there in a trance. Only until she was pushed by the make-up artist did she come back to earth. Then she sat on the chair and started to put on make-up.

At the outside, Qin Xiaobai managed to finish the scene with one take.

After Director Zhang announced that they could have a thirty minutes break, Qin Xin started to applaud cheerfully, which caused her palms red, “Brother Xiaobai, you are brilliant. I want to be an actor like you!”

“Puff!” Qiu Yu who was jealous that Qin Muxuan’s name was on the trending topic again now found anyone whose last name was Qin annoyed.

After she glanced at Qin Xin, the short girl, she looked down on the latter and said, “Don’t yell. That’s forbidden on the shooting site.”

Qin Xin was too frightened to say anything seeing Qiu Yu’s fierce look. Qin Xiaobai walked over at once and pulled Qin Xin to his behind.

“Miss Qiu, Xiaoxin is just too excited because this is her first time arriving at the shooting site. She didn’t mean to do that.”

“Can you please tell your friend to behave?” Qiu Yu was well aware of Qin Xiaobai’s identity, so she only snorted with a long face, “Acting is a laborious job. If she cries out every time we finished one take, I will be so disturbed that I couldn’t even concentrate.”

Qin Muxuan wasn’t holding on to the fact that Qiu Yu had pushed her to the ground, but today Qiu Yu still gave troubles to Qin Xin, whom she thought was Qin Muxuan’s niece. Zhang Jiayi couldn’t tolerate Qiu Yu’s outrageous behavior. Then he took a look at her and said, “Go add some make-up on your face. Your eye-shadow is massed up.”

Women valued their faces the most and Qiu Yu was no exception. Hearing that, she got flustered at once and walked to the dressing room in a hurry.

When she walked past Qin Muxuan, she sneered, “How could you bring random person to the shooting site? It looks like someone treating the confidentiality agreement as shit.”

Qin Muxuan didn’t even bother to look at Qiu Yu. After she was all set with her make-up, she walked to the outside at once.

In the meantime, she took out her phone to send a text, “I agree.”

She got the response quickly, “I hope we can work well together.”

..

At the end of the day, Qin Xin never complained anything to Qin Muxuan. However, when she had to leave, she seemed very reluctant to part with Qin Xiaobai. Even though she had got all of his contact information, she still wasn’t satisfied. Then she held Qin Muxuan’s hand with expectation in her big eyes, “Xuanxuan, can’t we bring Brother Xiaobai to our home and let him stay for one night?”

Qin Muxuan who always got soft when facing Qin Xin now rubbed her forehead helplessly and passed the buck again, “You should ask Xiaobai’s daddy if he would allow Xiaobai to sleep at our house.”

“Well, I don’t know his phone number.” Qin Xin was super disappointed with her head drooped.

After spending time with Qin Xin for half a day, Qin Xiaobai already grew affection on the little girl. Also, he really wanted to stay in Qin Muxuan’s house. After he pondered with his lips closed tightly, he said, “I can ask my daddy. Let me call him.”

Qin Xin came alive at once and watched him talking on the phone without blinking.

Under her gleaming gaze, Qin Xiaobai uttered his request with hesitation, “Daddy, I want to sleep in Miss Xuanxuan’s home for one night… Can I?”

Gu Zijin froze for an instant at the other end of the line. Then he said, “OK. Give the phone to Qin Xuan, I need to tell her something.”

“Fine.” Qin Xiaobai passed the phone to Qin Muxuan.

Hearing the positive answer, Qin Xin hurrahed at once. Then she held his hand and ran out, being afraid that the adults would go back on their words.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Qin Muxuan attached the cell to her ear and looked down with a depressed look, “Thanks.”

For giving me the chance to stay with Xiaobai for one night.

Gu Zijin who was signing his name drew a long line on the marketing plan.

He stared at the marketing plan for a long while. Then he threw away his pen and walked to the French windows with the phone, “Qin Xuan, do we really have to get so far apart?”

Qin Muxuan looked at her children who were running like happy little birds, feeling herself being moved again.

She stayed silent for a long while and then asked, “President Gu, do you have other instructions? If you don’t, I’ll…”

Before she finished her words, Gu Zijin suddenly exploded and roared, “Qin Muxuan, you truly are cruel!”

Then, he hung up the phone and there was only the sound of the busy signal.

Qin Muxuan stood there with the phone in her hand for a long while, Then, she licked her lower lip and got on the car which was driven here by Jian Xi. After that, they went back home.

When Yin Youting arrived at Qin Muxuan’s house after work, he found the room was noisier than usual. Then a smile lifted the corner of his mouth.

He took off his suit and hung it on the hanger. After that, he walked to the kitchen breezily.

“Watch this, Brother Xiaobai, this is you. I made it.” Qin Xin held a match-stick shape dough in her hand and tried to show it off to Qin Xiaobai.

Qin Xiaobai, choked with words, really didn’t see how that dough was him, then he uttered, “… it’s neat.”

Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi both burst into laughter and nearly shook the stuffing on the ground.

Seeing Qin Xiaobai, Yin Youting got dazed first. However, he rolled up his sleeves instantly and washed his hands while asking, “Xiaobai, you are here. You came here alone?”

Although Qin Xiaobai and Yin Youting had got along very well in the boy’s childhood, they seldom made contacts with each other after Qin Muxuan had left. Seeing Yin Youting coming over, Qin Xiaobai put down the dough cautiously and greeted Yin Youting with a polite gesture, “Uncle Yin, nice to meet you. Xiaoxin invited me to stay here for a night.”

Yin Youting, with his eyebrows raised, patted on Qin Xiaobai’s shoulder and chuckled, “You don’t have to be so nervous. I have watched you growing for a period of time after all.”

“Make yourself at home. Be comfortable.”

Yin Youting said that as if he was the host, which made Qin Xiaobai very uncomfortable.

“OK.” As saying, he glanced at Qin Muxuan secretly, finding her getting used to that already. Then he looked down to knead the dough, feeling bitter.

‘They have already lived together. Are they lovers? Or married couples?”

Yin Youting caught the sight of all of Qin Xiaobai’s movements. Then with the smile on his face turning bigger, he also joined in the team of making steamed bun.

“Why did you want to make steamed buns today?” Yin Youting approached to Qin Muxuan and asked that. With a neat motion with his hand, he made a squabby steamed bun withs lots of stuffing and pretty pleats.

Clearly, he always cooked.

Qin Muxuan, with a teasing look on her face, glanced at her daughter who was playing the dough, and then smiled with her eyes squinted “Xiaoxin wanted to cook for Xiaobai by herself.”

Yin Youting took the tumble at once and nodded.

Seeing the two kids being so close with their heads against each other’s, Yin Youting pretended to be jealous and said with a weird tone, “An old man like me has to admit defeat. I haven’t eaten the dishes Xinxin made. Xiaobai, you are such a lucky boy. You have to eat more than usual later.”

Yin Youting turned to Qin Xiaobai as saying the last words.

Qin Xiaobai then chuckled to Yin Youting bashfully, “Uncle Yin, you can eat the steamed bun that I made.”

Qin Xin, the little flip-flopper, said right away, “Uncle Youting, you can eat the steamed bun I made too.”

The dough mixed with the mince in Qin Xin’s hand looked like a pie and also a pizza. Seeing that, Yin Youting, mouth twitched, saying seriously, “I’m fine. First come, first served. This time, I’ll let Xiaobai have it. Xinxin, you can make me a big meal next time.”

“Hahahaha-” Jian Xi really couldn’t bear seeing Yin Youting being so childish. Then she turned her head and burst into laughter.

Qin Xiaobai also couldn’t help but laugh. However, he was good at suppressing his laugh and lowered his head, so no one was able to tell if he was laughing or not.

While they were laughing and chatting, the ambience in the room became alive and Qin Xiaobai wasn’t that nervous anymore.

At bedtime, the boy agreed to sleep on the same bed with Qin Muxuan and Qin Xin.

Before he went to sleep, he slipped to the bathroom to call Gu Zijin.

“Daddy, do you like Miss Xuanxuan?” After the call went through, Qin Xiaobai asked that directly.

Gu Zijin frowned, “Why did you ask that?”

“Miss Xuanxuan lives in Uncle Yin’s house right now. They…” Qin Xiaobai bit his lips, “They, seems to have married with each other.”

“Bang!”

The coffee cup was broken into pieces on the floor. The warm coffee was splashed onto Gu Zijin’s trousers, but he didn’t care about it at all.

He rubbed his eyebrows hard and said firmly, “That’s impossible!”

His fierce voice frightened Qin Xiaobai.

After that, Gu Zijin seemed to realize that. Then he changed a tender voice and said with a great certainty, “They won’t get married. Stop filling your head with foolish notions.”

“You still had to shoot for the film tomorrow. Now you should go to sleep. Don’t cause problems for Miss Xuanxuan.”

Qin Xiaobai answered with a ‘yes’ glumly.

After he hung up the phone, he stayed in low spirits for a long while and only went out to go to sleep until Qin Xin knocked on the door.

Every night, Qin Muxuan would tell Qin Xin a bedtime story. Now that her son was here tonight, she was in a greater mood. Then she asked them to pick a story they liked.

“Ma Liang, the Magic Brush”

“The Ugly Duckling!”

The brother and sister looked at each other and then changed their choice at the same time, “The Ugly Duckling/ Ma Liang, the Magic Brush!”

Qin Muxuan chuckled and rubbed the boy and the girl’s head. Then she called the shots, “Tonight I’ll tell the story of Ma Liang, the Magic Brush that Xiaobai likes, tomorrow I’ll tell the story of the Ugly Duckling, Xiaoxin.”

After that, Qin Muxuan turned to page of ‘Ma Liang, the Magic Brush’ and started to tell the story with a tender voice. Hearing her soft voice, the two children gradually fell into sleep.

Having confirmed that her children were both asleep, Qin Muxuan put the story book on the table. Then she lay on the side and watched at Qin Xiaobai’s sleeping face across her daughter. The boy looked more and more like Gu Zijin as he grew up.

Qin Muxuan put her hand above his face, trying to touch him. However, she was afraid that he might be woken up by her, so she could only draw the outline and the shape of his face.

He had grown so fast.

Redness grew in her eyes silently and tears hung on the corner of her eyes. Qin Muxuan took her hands back and dry her tears.

She got off the bed quietly and left the room. Only after she closed the door did she dare to let her tears run down.

With her body leaning on the door, she squatted down slowly and buried her head between her legs. Then, she held her knees tightly and started to weep in a low voice.

Yin Youting who was in the next room opened the door and walked over. After he handed her a box of tissues, he sighed, “I know that you wouldn’t be able to restrain yourself.”

His voice sounded sad and helpless, containing his deep affection toward her.

Qin Muxuan pulled a tissue to blow her nose hard and stood up with his support, “Youting, thank you.”

“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have already broken down over the past few years.”

She looked at him gratefully, but clearly without any affection in her eyes.

Yin Youting stayed quiet for a long while, then held her in his arms to let her lean on his shoulder. Then he patted on her back and said gently, “Don’t say thanks to me. We have been friends for years after all.”

‘Maybe I should let you go now.’ He thought.
