No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 389: Disgrace



Jian Xi was a little entranced, so when Mu Ming looked her way, she didn’t react right away. She only stood there and stared him for more than ten seconds.

Only when Mu Ming got up and walked towards her, did Jian Xi come to her senses. Her face was slightly red and she felt an inexplicit sense of nervousness.

Jian Xi’s heart skipped a beat as she watched Mu Ming getting closer and closer. And her heart was beating so fast that Jian Xi suddenly felt that the air around her had become thinner.

Mu Ming stood in front of Jian Xi and looked her up and down quietly. It was obvious that Jian Xi had dressed herself up today. So did she do that because of him?

Mu Ming felt a flutter in his chest and he still looked calm, “You’re here?”

Hearing the calmness in Mu Ming’s tone, Jian Xi was disappointed and she nodded slightly.

Mu Ming squatted down and touched Xiaoxin’s head, smiling, ” Xiaoxin, what are you doing here?”

Xiaoxin blinked her eyes, “Godmother said she would look after me today. Uncle Mu Ming, did you miss me?”

Mu Ming’s smile deepened, “Of course, I missed you.”

Seeing Mu Ming’s smile, Jian Xi felt a little upset. Didn’t he see how well-dressed she was? He didn’t say anything about it. Instead all he did was to greet Xiaoxin!

Even Jian Xi didn’t notice that she seemed to be jealous of a child.

Jian Xi explained in a muffled voice, “Xiao Xuan is filming today, so I brought Xiaoxin here.”

Mu Ming nodded and didn’t ask much. He then asked Jian Xi and Xiaoxin to get inside.

Mu Ming led the two of them to the table where he sat just now and said to Jian Xi, “I’ve ordered a strawberry cake for you. I haven’t ordered a Caramel Latte for you. I was afraid that it wouldn’t taste well if you came late. Wait here for me. I’ll go order it for you.”

Jian Xi was still a little annoyed. Just as she was about to say that she didn’t need it, Mu Ming had already taken Xiaoxin to the checkout counter, which made Jian Xi even more irritated.

Jian Xi looked down at the strawberry cake on the table and felt touched. Jian Xi realized that she was being a little unreasonable.

Although Mu Ming was at the checkout counter, he glanced at Jian Xi from the corner of his eyes from time to time. He saw Jian Xi’s eyelashes flashing like a butterfly and he felt that his heart just skip a beat.

Mu Ming was flustered and looked away, trying hard to fixate his gaze on Xiaoxin and stop his heart from beating so fast.

Seeing how happy Xiaoxin looked as she was picking the desserts, Mu Ming could not help but laugh, “Xiaoxin, you can have whatever you want.”

Xiaoxin was very close to Mu Ming, so she didn’t hesitate. She got a matcha cake, a caramel pudding, and some other desserts. The, she said cutely with a sweet smile on her face, “Thank you, Uncle.”

Who could say no to such a cute and sweet kid? Anyway, Mu Ming couldn’t.

Mu Ming was still waiting for the shop assistants to make the coffee. He suddenly didn’t know how to face Jian Xi, so he planned to buy himself some time.

Mu Ming saw that Xiaoxin looked jubilant and he asked tentatively, “Xiaoxin, you’ve been with Aunty Jian Xi the whole day?”

Xiaoxin was in a good mood and nodded. “Yes, after Godmother drove mommy to the set, she took me to her house to watch some cartoons.”

Mu Ming continued to ask, “What did you do next?”

Xiaoxin was a little confused and thought about it in her mind. “Then Godmother took me out for spaghetti. Then we came over and I saw you here.”

Looking at Xiaoxin’s innocent face, Mu Ming felt a bit speechless towards himself. What did he intend to find out by asking a child?

Xiaoxin suddenly remembered something and carefully pulled Mu Ming closer, indicating for him to squat down.

Mu Ming was a little confused, but he still squatted down and moved his ears over.

“Uncle, I’m telling you, Godmother can do magic. She stayed in her room for a long time today. And when she came out, she became so beautiful. She wore a dress. Her eyes became bigger, and her mouth became red. She was as beautiful as a Barbie doll, and she even smells good,” Xiaoxin said mysteriously.

For Xiaoxin, being as beautiful as a Barbie doll was the best praise one could say to someone’s appearance because she felt that Barbie dolls were the most beautiful.

Mu Ming couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed like he was not mistaken. Jian Xi had really dressed herself up today.

Mu Ming looked at Jian Xi again. This time Jian Xi happened to be looking at him and neither of them looked away.

Seeing Mu Ming’s sparkling eyes, there was an obvious happy smile on the corner of his mouth. Jian Xi felt a little confused, and her earlobes seemed to get a little red.

When the coffee was ready, Mu Ming returned to the table with the desserts and drinks.

With one look at the table full of desserts, Jian Xi knew who ordered them.

Jian Xi looked at Xiaoxin helplessly. “Xiaoxin, if your mom finds out that you eat so much sweet food, she’ll be mad.”

Ingratiatingly, Xiaoxin smiled and held Jian Xi’s arm, “Then don’t tell mommy, okay?”

Jian Xi pulled Xiaoxin away and she knew that she could never say no to a kid who was so cute and lovely. “This time you can eat it, and there’ll be no next time!”

Xiaoxin nodded firmly, forked a strawberry and handed it to Jian Xi, “Godmother, you’re the best!”

Jian Xi opened her mouth and took it. Xiaoxin cheered and started eating.

Mu Ming watched the interaction between Xiaoxin and Jian Xi with a smile on his face, his eyes shining like stars.

Jian Xi felt that Mu Ming’s eyes were brighter than usual and that she had no way to hide under his gaze.

Jian Xi coughed dryly twice, lowered her head and scooped a spoonful of cake to eat. Finally, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. She put the spoon down and glared at Mu Ming, “Why are you staring at me?”

Mu Ming pushed the cup of Caramel Latte to Jian Xi, “Your Caramel Latte, it’s still warm.”

Jian Xi thought she had mistaken him, so she thanked him awkwardly and subconsciously took a sip.

“Jian Xi, you are very beautiful today. You look gorgeous.”

When she heard what Mu Ming said suddenly, Jian Xi choked. She put down the cup and covered her mouth, coughing non-stop and blushing.

Mu Ming was also startled. He got up to help her pat her back, but he thought it inappropriate, so he pulled out two tissue and gave them to her, while saying worryingly, “Are you alright?”

Jian Xi took the tissues and waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

Xiaoxin extended her small hand and patted Jian Xi’s back. However, it was like some switch had been turned on on Jian Xi’s body and she just couldn’t stop coughing.

Jian Xi closed her eyes and didn’t dare to look at Mu Ming. She felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life, especially now when the person she was facing was Mu Ming. She really wanted to find a hole to hide in there.

Mu Ming sighed to himself. He held Jian Xi’s shoulder and stroked her back to help her get better.

The moment she felt Mu Ming’s hand on her back, Jian Xi’s body stiffened. After caressing her twice, she finally stopped coughing. In fact, Jian Xi felt that she was having difficulty breathing, not to mention coughing.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Seeing that Jian Xi stopped coughing, Mu Ming got up awkwardly and sat back in his seat.

Jian Xi lowered her head and didn’t dare to look into Mu Ming’s eyes. She said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

Mu Ming coughed dryly, “It’s nothing.”

The spark between the two of them disappeared instantly.
