No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

It was the first time Gu Zijin met a person who rejected him so unreasonably. He didn’t understand why they couldn’t decide their own marriage. If he wanted to marry her, no one was able to stop him. Then he realized that it was just her way to reject him and maybe she still wanted to leave him and the Gu’s family.

The tenderness in his eyes gradually faded away and turned to coldness. When they returned to the Gu’s house, Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan got out of the car together. Qin Xiaobai, having heard the sound of stopping the car, ran toward the outside right away without finishing eating the bread in his mouth. The moment he saw Qin Muxuan, he exclaimed and jumped to her.

Qin Muxuan almost tumbled over. Luckily, she was helped by Gu Zijin. Then the latter said sullenly,

“Be careful, you almost knock your mother down.”

Qin Xiaobai didn’t feel upset when being reproached and only nodded obediently,

“I won’t next time. Dabai, where did you go last night? Come eat the breakfast first.”

Qin Xiaobai held her hand and dragged her to the living room. Gu Zijin fixed his eyes on Qin Muxuan while recalling the sweet moment they had last night. Then his expression softened.

Seeing Qin Muxuan coming back, Elderly Lady Gu asked straightly,

“Where did you go last night? Zijin had to look for you, don’t you know how busy he is as a president?”

Qin Muxuan knew that she couldn’t tell Elderly Lady Gu that she went to the bar last night, otherwise this old lady would definitely heap abuse on her. However, she also couldn’t say that she and Gu Zijin slept together in a hotel last night. While she was hesitating, Gu Zijin already said in a cold voice,

“She had some business affairs to finish last night, I accompanied her the whole time. By the time she finished, it was already too late, so we didn’t come back.”

Since Gu Zijin had already explained, Elderly Lady Gu just stopped questioning. These days Gu Zijin’s attitude toward her became tougher and tougher, so she was not willing to intensify their conflict. What was more, she also asked the Shengtian Entertainment to stop reporting the affair between Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao that she had told them to write, because she did feel what Gu Zijin said to her that day made sense. She finally realized that she couldn’t hype the affair between Yan Yuxiao and Gu Zijin for the sake of Xiaobai, otherwise everything would go out of control if Qin Xiaobai’s identity was exposed.

In the meantime, Yan Yuxiao already had a sudden rise in her social status because of the rumour about Gu Zijin and her. After all, not anyone was able to be related to Gu Zijin. Even though the news about them gradually disappeared, Yan Yuxiao had already received tons of invitations to commercial activities, such as advertisement shooting.

In the evening, Yan Yuxiao made cakes by herself for Gu Zijin and brought them to the Gu’s house by herself. However, when she got into the Gu’s house, she only saw Elderly Lady Gu. Though she felt that she had only come there for nothing, she still walked toward Elderly Lady Gu with a smile to have a chat with the latter. Elderly Lady Gu was already happy to see Yan Yuxiao. After she saw the cakes, she said with her face lit up with pleasure,

“Yuxiao, Thanks for making the cakes for an old woman like me, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to expose the affairs between you and Zijin.”

Hearing that, Yan Yuxiao showed a sullen look, but she managed to regain composure right away and said in a considerate tone,

“Grandma, I understand. I don’t want the reputation of the Gu’s family to be influenced too.”

“Alas.” Elderly Lady Gu didn’t want to tell Yan Yuxiao that she had stopped spreading those rumours because of Xiaobai and only sighed. After she and Yan Yuxiao chatted for a short while, Yan Yuxiao received a phone call and left. When it was her date time with Gu Zijin, the man didn’t show up. After Yan Yuxiao stood in the cold wind for an hour, she received his phone all. Then she answered right away, saying,

“Zijin, are you engaged in something else? If you are…”

“I won’t fulfill my commitment of dating you anymore. The agreement between me and my grandma has already ended.”

Before Yan Yuxiao could say anything, Gu Zijin already hung up the phone. Then Yan Yuxiao remembered what Elderly Lady Gu had said in the daytime, thinking resentfully, ‘Does Elderly Lady Gu decide to help Qin Muxuan now?’

What she didn’t know was that Gu Zijin had talked bluntly to Elderly Lady Gu when he came back to the Gu’s house yesterday. At last, Elderly Lady Gu had to end their agreement because Gu Zijin made it clear that if she forced him to date Yan Yuxiao, he would destroy Yan Yuxiao’s career with no mercy. By then, even if Qin Muxuan couldn’t stay in the Gu’s family, he would still let the Yan family live a miserable life. After Elderly Lady Gu had heard his threats, she finally realized that she was not able to control her grandson anymore because the cub had already grown up into a strong wild wolf.

When Qin Muxuan got off work, she waited for Uncle Chen to pick her up. Qin Feng happened to drive out of the parking lot. As he saw Qin Muxuan standing there, he rolled down the car window and asked,

“Where do you live? I can give you a ride.”

Qin Muxuan shook her head and answered,

“It’s OK. My family is on the way here to pick me up. You can go back now.”

Qin Feng had to give up and drove away. As he saw a black Bentley parking in front of Qin Muxuan through the rear-view mirror, he compressed his thin lips. Then he assumed that Qin Muxuan’s background must be very powerful, because only a few people in City A could afford to buy a Bentley. After that, Qin Feng remembered Qin Muxuan’s reaction on the exhibition that day as well as the fact that Gu Zijin always drove a Bentley. As he associated the two things together, he couldn’t help but wonder if Qin Muxuan and Gu Zijin were in any kind of relationship.

On the other side, after Qin Muxuan saw that it was Gu Zijin that came to pick her up, she wanted to ask why he didn’t need to date Yan Yuxiao tonight. However, she still said nothing and got in the car tamely. Gu Zijin turned around and looked at her, saying,

“What do you want to eat for dinner?”

“Well, whatever, I like to eat all the things Nanny Chen cooks.”

With a slightly gloomy look showing in Gu Zijin’s eyes, he thought, ‘Why can’t you understand that I was asking you out?’ Then, with an unexplainable sense of failure, he put his hand on the steering wheel and drove back to the Gu’s house.

Before they entered the house, Qin Muxuan heard happy laughters and cheerful voices from inside. The things Yan Yuxiao had said to Elderly Lady Gu seemed to amuse the latter a lot. When Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan got in the room, Yan Yuxiao ignored Qin Muxuan straight away and said intimately,

“Zijin, you just got off work? Grandma was mentioning the foolish things you did in your childhood.”

Gu Zijin replied with a simple “um” while staring at Qin Muxuan the whole time. After the latter entered the room, she was dragged upstairs by the excited boy Xiaobai in no time.

Gu Zijin compressed his lips, thinking, ‘When will she be so close to me like this?’

As Yan Yuxiao recalled something, she suddenly said in high spirits,

“Grandma, Zijin, my company needs a kid to play a role in an adapted film. The director asked me to look for a suitable kid. Actually, I think that Xiaobai is a wonderful boy…”

“No way, he is my son. I don’t want him to receive a lot of publicity.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Gu Zijin turned her down right away. However, Elderly Lady Gu held a different opinion about this. She was afraid that Qin Xiaobai would become as cold as his father if the only thing this kid did in his childhood was studying like Gu Zijin. Therefore, she didn’t think it was bad for Xiaobai to be in the show business. In her view, those experiences were all very valuable for Xiaobai and could help him become a qualified heir of the Gu’s family.
