No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

However, he didn’t hear any response from Nanny Chen. Then he walked downstairs, only to find Qin Muxuan preparing for the breakfast instead of Nanny Chen. In the meantime, Qin Xiaobai was looking at her on tiptoe.

That scene was so moving and harmonious.

Gu Zijin was a bit touched. As Qin Muxuan raised her head and saw Gu Zijin, she got dazed right away. Then she avoided Gu Zijin’s eyes subconsciously but still heard him saying to her,

“You have made breakfast?”

The dishes on the table were rather simple but all looked very tasty, which gave him an appetite at once. Qin Muxuan remembered the dishes Gu Zijin had cooked before and then looked into Gu Zijin’s eyes, feeling a bit nervous as if she was a student waiting for her teacher to give remarks. Qin Xiaobai climbed onto the chair, saying,

“Dabai, I’ve washed my hands. Can I eat breakfast now?”

Qin Xiaobai was quite hungry and had stared at the dishes for a long while. Then he looked to Qin Muxuan with expectation in his black eyes. Qin Muxuan showed a doting expression in her eyes, saying,

“You can’t, honey. You have to wait for grandmother and great grandmother.”

“Fine.”

Gu Zijin, having pulled a chair to sit down, commented with the corner of his mouth raised,

“Looks good.”

Qin Muxuan then let out a slight sigh of relief. After she had heard the compliment from Gu Zijin, she felt very sweet inwardly as if she had eaten a candy.

Qin Xiaobai ran upstairs to wake Mrs. Gu up. After that, he remembered Qin Muxuan’s words and then walked toward Elderly Lady Gu’s room reluctantly. Elderly Lady Gu who had a light sleep opened her eyes right away when Qin Xiaobai knocked on the door. Then she asked,

“Who is it?”

“Dabai said that I can only eat breakfast after you all go downstairs. Great grandma, have you gotten up?”

Elderly Lady Gu felt so warm hearing her great grandson talking to her on his own since he seldom did that. Then she got up and said,

“I’ll go downstairs to eat breakfast right away.”

During breakfast, there was a rare sense of family harmony at the table.

Elderly Lady Gu didn’t criticize the breakfast Qin Muxuan had made like before because Qin Muxuan had cooked the porridge in separate pots considering that Elderly Lady Gu and Mrs. Gu had different taste for food. Mrs. Gu said smilingly,

“Muxuan, just leave these things to Nanny Chen. You don’t need to get up early to make breakfast for us.”

“It’s my pleasure. I’m free on Sunday anyway.”

Seeing Mrs. Gu and Qin Muxuan having a good conversation, Elderly Lady Gu felt a bit uncomfortable again. As she was about to say something, she suddenly saw Qin Xiaobai looking at her with an adorable look, which reminded her of the things Gu Zijin had said to her. Then she decided to restrain her feelings for the moment.

After Qin Xiaobai had peeled an egg, he put it into Qin Muxuan’s bowl, saying,

“Dabai, you should eat more. Then you won’t get sick anymore.”

Qin Muxuan rubbed Qin Xiaobai’s head as a reward to him, with sadness flashing in her eyes. After about forty days, she couldn’t see Qin Xiaobai anymore. Every time she thought of that, she would be in great pain as if her heart was being pierced by a dull knife.

In the afternoon, Qin Muxuan played hide and seek with Qin Xiaobai. When she tried to find a place to hide on the second floor, she ran into Gu Zijin. Meanwhile, Qin Xiaobai had already finished counting a hundred numbers in a loud voice. Then he ran into the living room cheerfully with heavy steps.

Seeing that Qin Muxuan couldn’t find a place to hide, Gu Zijin walked over and covered her body immediately. Next, before Qin Muxuan came back to her sense, she was already pushed to the wall by Gu Zijin. Then she said with a bashful but also angry look in her eyes,

“Gu Zijin, what are you doing?!”

Gu Zijin replied with a serious look,Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Aren’t you playing hide and seek with Xiaobai now?”

“…”

Even so, why did he cover her with his body anyway? Couldn’t he just tell her where to hide? However, even though Qin Muxuan reasoned things out, Gu Zijin wouldn’t listen to her anyway. So she just gave up and said with a long face,

“Gu Zijin, get out of my way.”

Gu Zijin didn’t say anything. As Qin Muxuan was about to say something again, she heard Qin Xiaobai’s innocent voice,

“It’s so weird. Where’s mommy? I just heard her voice.”

Qin Muxuan then remained silent. The thick curtain beside her had covered half of her body while Gu Zijin’s tall figure covered the other half in the dim light. Qin Xiaobai looked at Gu Zijin with doubt,

“Daddy, did you see mommy just now?”

Gu Zijin pondered for a while and said,

“She probably hid herself in the utility room. You should check there.”

Qin Xiaobai fell for that instantly and ran toward the utility room. Qin Muxuan was speechless, thinking, ‘Gu Zijin really is good at lying. How can he lie to such a little boy without turning a hair?’ As Qin Xiaobai left, Qin Muxuan pushed Gu Zijin and said,

“Xiaobai already left. You can let me go now.”

Gu Zijin pressed on her shoulders with a dim light flashing in his eyes, saying,

“Tomorrow there’s a Family Day in Xiaobai’s school. We should go together.”

Qin Zixuan was a bit startled. Then she gripped her fingers and said,

“What if others find out about our relationship? The school will be very crowded then, what if the paparazzi are there too?”

“I can make sure that wouldn’t happen. Xiaobai’s school is not that big anyway.”

Qin Muxuan should feel relieved hearing that. However, she didn’t know why she felt a bit disappointed. Last time when he had shown up openly at the parents’ meeting, lots of parents of other students had seen his face. However, no one had spread the word of his arrival, which proved how powerful this man was.

“Dabai, I caught you!”

A soft voice sounded. Qin Xiaobai looked at Gu Zijin indignantly as if he was accusing the latter of deceiving him. Gu Zijin compressed his lips and said,

“The adults are talking. You can not get a word in.”

Qin Xiaobai got scared after he had stared at his father’s eyes for three seconds due to the latter’s imposing manner. Then Qin Xiaobai twitched his mouth and said,

“But Dabai was playing a game with me. Daddy, you are breaking the rules.”

Although he said that, he still moved his legs and walked downstairs. Seeing Qin Xiaobai obeying Gu Zijin tamely, Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. Gu Zijin truly represented hegemonism in this family…

The next day.

Since Qin Muxuan had already resigned her job, she could finally accompany Xiaobai to his school. When she was in the car, she received a call from Chu Feng who was the first to ask about her resignation. When she picked up the phone, she took a glance at Gu Zijin who was driving right now. Although Gu Zijin shouldn’t hear the voice in the phone, she still felt a bit uneasy for no reason. After all, there was a term on their contract which specified very clearly that she couldn’t have close contact with other men. Gu Zijin had warned her about that lots of times too.

Chu Feng’s voice sounded a bit worried,

“Muxuan, have you run into something? Although I can not be your… we can still be friends. You can tell me everything.”

“Nothing. Don’t think too much. I just want to concentrate on studying interior design.”

Chu Feng then let out a sigh of relief. Still, there was a disappointed look showing in his eyes,

“Muxuan, last time you said… Do you really have a kid?”

Qin Muxun got dazed. She thought Chu Feng should know about her feelings toward him since she had already made things very clear last time. However, now he brought it up again. She could only answer seriously,

“Yes.”
