No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

After that, Gu Zijin left directly. Qin Muxuan immediately followed, holding the design draft she had just finished in her hand. She still had a lot of thoughts and ideas to tell Gu Zijin.

Now, she would like to thank Fan Aoshan instead for giving her a challenging project, which enabled her to discuss her work with Gu Zijin, an elite in the field.

Half an hour later, Gu Zijin arrived on time, “From today on, you will work at Gu Group as the representative of Qixing Group. It will also be easier for us to communicate with each other when there is any problem.”

Qin Muxuan got a bit surprised. That meant she would no longer bear the cold shoulder given by Director Fan and could exchange ideas and learn new things at Gu Zijin’s company, which was a great thing.

“Thank you, Mr. Gu. I will work hard,” said she with an unconcealable smile on her face.

Gu Zijin asked the assistant to help her settle in the new office, and the two of them exchanged their ideas together. They saw eye to eye and were quite happy at work.

She didn’t realize that it was already past office hours until Gu Zijin appeared in her office at dusk.

“Stop working and go back with me,” said Gu Zijin lightly. Qin Xiaobai would be very happy if he knew that his parents went back home together.

Qin Muxuan didn’t refuse and went home with Gu Zijin.

Qin Xiaobai got home from school early and was having dinner in the room. “Mommy, why do you come back this late? I have waited for you for a long time.”

Hearing this, Qin Muxuan hugged Qin Xiaobai and said with a smile, “Mommy worked overtime today and just came back.”

She looked around and found a strange woman sitting beside Elderly Lady Gu at the dining table.

Elderly Lady Gu smiled and held the strange woman’s hand, “Xiaoyu, this is Xiaobai’s mother. She came here just to accompany Xiaobai!”

She said the last words in an extraordinarily heavy tone as if she were reminding someone intentionally. The woman turned her head to look at Qin Muxuan significantly and nodded politely.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Then she turned back to chat with Elderly Lady Gu happily, and did not pay any more attention to Qin Muxuan. Qin Muxuan didn’t mind this either. She felt satisfied as long as Xiaobai was by her side.

“Mommy, you must be hungry since you come back this late. Let’s eat dinner now!” Qin Xiaobai still cared about his mother very much. He took her hand and sat at the table.

Qin Muxuan felt very uncomfortable over the dinner. Elderly Lady Gu was chatting with the strange woman all the time and Gu Zijin kept silent except answering questions from time to time. She was like the air and didn’t feel any sense of presence.

She knew about the woman more or less from their conversation. The woman turned out to be Yan Xiaoyu, the granddaughter of Elderly Lady Gu’s old friend. She was good at making people happy. Elderly Lady Gu was pleased by her and was very happy all night.

She was also a second-tier entertainment star and enjoyed little fame. Qin Muxuan was not interested in these, but she could see that Yan Xiaoyu’s eyes were always on Gu Zijin even though she was talking to Elderly Lady Gu.

After dinner, Elderly Lady Gu continued chatting with Yan Xiaoyu on the sofa, and Gu Ziyu was going to work in the study as usual.

Before Gu Zijiin headed to the study, Yan Xiaoyu looked at her watch and said, “Grandma, it’s too late. I gotta go. My parents are waiting for me at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”

“You are still as thoughtful as when you were little. I shall not ask you to stay tonight. Just come and visit anytime you want. Zijin, drive Xiaoyu home. It’s too late now. It is not safe for her to go home alone.”

After she heard this, Qin Muxuan’s heart twitched fiercely when she was accompanying Xiaobai playing with toys. But she came to her sense in time and told herself, “Qin Muxuan, it is none of your business.”

But anyone could tell that Elderly Lady Gu wanted to create private space for Gu Zijin and Yan Xiaoyu to strengthen their relationship.

“Don’t bother, grandma. It’s easy to get a taxi outside. Zijin is very busy. I don’t wanna waste his time.”

Yan Xiaoyu declined thoughtfully, but she didn’t move at all. Elderly Lady Gu was even more enthusiastic, “What are you talking about? There are so many bad people out there. You has a special status now. You are a star. You can’t go out like this, don’t you know?”

Elderly Lady Gu insisted on asking Gu Zijin to drive Yan Xiaoyu home. Since his grandmother asked him to do so, Gu Zijin had to save her face in front of the outsider. Thus, he agreed.

Looking at the receding figures of Gu Zijin and Yan Xiaoyu, Qin Muxuan squeezed the drawing paper in her hands heavily.

“Zijin, do you still remember me? We grew up together. I remember that I was very small and often bullied by other children when I was a child. You always stood up to protect me!”

While walking into the car, Yan Xiaoyu recalled the past with bright eyes, but Gu Zijin looked extraordinarily indifferent and focused all his attention on driving.

“You live in Shengye Street, right?” He came to the point. Since he entered home, he didn’t even look at the woman seriously and had no interest in her either.

“Yes, Zijin. I like Xiaobai so much. He looks exactly like you, so adorable!”

Yan Xiaoyu was very smart. Since the last topic didn’t work, she changed the topic to please Gu Zijin. But Gu Zijin just nodded slightly and did not respond.

The car ran very fast. They arrived at Yan Xiaoyu’s home after a while. “Zijin, thank you for taking me home. Have a safe journey back home. This is my name card. Call me when you get home.”

She put a picture in Gu Zijin’s car, which was small and exquisite. Gu Zijin didn’t pay more attention to the co-pilot’s seat, and he directly started the car and drove home.

After getting home, he opened the door and found that Qin Muxuan was sitting on the sofa in the living room alone. A stream of warmth ran through his cold heart.

The light was on at home and someone was waiting for him to come back.

He didn’t know when he fell in love with such a feeling. He couldn’t believe it, and never thought that he would also have a warm family. For so many years, no woman had walked into his heart.

Qin Muxuan was a little flustered. In fact, she didn’t want to be there. However, she didn’t feel comfortable lying in bed, and she felt at ease sitting here to wait for him.

“Mr. Gu, you… you are back.” Qin Muxuan grabbed her clothes in a panic and suddenly felt a little at a loss.

Gu Zijin saw her nervousness at a glance, and deliberately approached her, almost touching her body, “Why are you here? Waiting for me?”

His deep and magnetic voice made Qin Muxuan’s ears flush red, “I… I came out to get myself some water. It’s so late. I’ll go back to rest now.”

She could feel clearly that her heartbeat was speeding up. Why did she sit here? She was simply asking for trouble!
