No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Time passed quickly. At dinner time, Qin Xiaobai still hadn’t returned.

When it got dark, a van parked in front of the Gu’s house. Qin Xiaobai’s manager walked out of the car with Qin Xiaobai in her arms.

Qin Muxuan was standing by the door. When she saw them from far away, she rushed to them at once and held Qin Xiaobai in her arms.

Seeing Xiaobai being like this, Qin Muxuan only felt heartbroken. Then she expressed thanks to Qin Xiaobai’s manager, “Thank you.”

The manager waved her hand and said, “It’s nothing. Xiaobai has been working too hard lately. He always asks to repeat playing many times when he’s not satisfied with his acting. Even the director has praised that Xiaobai has the willpower of a professional actor. But Miss Qin, you have to talk him into resting more.”

After all, Qin Xiaobai was a popular star in her company right now. If anything bad happened to his health, his manager would be blamed, and the consequences could be too depressing to face. Although Qin Xiaobai was obedient, he was actually a very stubborn boy deep down. No matter how hard his manager had tried, she was still not able to persuade him. Therefore, she hoped that Qin Xiaobai could listen to Qin Muxuan.

Qin Muxuan lowered her head while using her fingers to rub his cheek.

Gu Zijin walked over to her and asked, “Is he asleep?”

Qin Muxuan nodded and said in a low voice, “Yes, I’ll bring him to the room first. He’s exhausted.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

When Qin Muxuan entered the house, Elderly Lady Gu, having seen that her great grandson fell asleep due to tiredness, felt both worried and angry. Then the old lady thumped her walking stick on the ground and scolded Qin Muxuan, “Qin Muxuan! What kind of mother you are? You know that my little boy is not strong enough, you still asked him to work for so long! What if he gets sick?”

Xiaobai had to shoot films every day and never rested well. Elderly Lady Gu wondered if Qin Muxuan was regarding Qin Xiaobai as her cash cow.

‘She doesn’t deserve to be a mother!’ Elderly Lady Gu thought.

‘When she arrived at the Gu’s house for the first time, I should have kicked her away immediately. In that case, there wouldn’t be so much trouble right now.’ The more Elderly Lady Gu thought of that, the sulkier and more disgusted she felt.

Gu Zijin stood before Qin Muxuan in a protective gesture and said in a cold voice, “Grandma, please don’t say anything. You’ll wake Xiaobai up. Also, he’s really tired now. You should wait until tomorrow if you have anything to say.”

Elderly Lady Gu got more furious hearing that and almost threw her walking stick away.

‘What kind of spell does Qin Muxuan cast on you?’

Thinking of that, Elderly Lady Gu continued in an angry tone, “Perfect, it’s just perfect. Now she’s the only one you care about and you already forgot about your grandma.”

“Mother, don’t get mad. Zijin still cares about you, you know his temper.”

Mrs. Gu tried to ease the tension right away and nudged Gu Zijin with her elbow, signalling for him to go upstairs. Mrs. Gu was well aware of Elderly Lady Gu’s temper. After living together with the old lady for so many years, Mrs. Gu had already figured out an efficient way to comfort her.

Then, Gu Zijin followed Qin Muxuan upstairs. Elderly Lady Gu still couldn’t stop cursing Qin Muxuan downstairs.

In Xiaobai’s room.

Gu Zijin sat by the bed and tucked Xiaobai in. When his cold eyes fell on Xiaobai’s sleeping face, the look in his eyes turned tender right away, just like the ice was melted in the warm light.

Gu Zijin could see a bit of himself in Qin Xiaobai. They would both forget about time until they made sure everything was perfect once they concentrated on working. He knew that he couldn’t let Qin Xiaobai stay this way anymore, since the little boy’s body was still too weak.

Thinking of that, Gu Zijin decided to send someone to Qin Xiaobai’s company to give the staff there a ‘notification’.

Meanwhile, Qin Muxuan felt a piercing pain in her heart the whole time. After staying silent for a while, she seemed to have made a decision and said, “I want Xiaobai to quit working in the show business.”

She found some of Elderly Lady Gu’s words did make sense. If she still didn’t take good care of Qin Xiaobai, he might really fall ill in the studio. For all this time, Qin Xiaobai was always the center of her world.

He was the only reason that she could go on with her life. If anything happened to him, she would definitely collapse.

“When Xiaobai wakes up, we can discuss with him.”

Gu Zijin could tell how worried Qin Muxuan was. Then he said in a low voice, “Let him rest for a while, OK?”

“Fine.”

Qin Muxuan nodded. She looked at Qin Xiaobai tenderly and then closed his room door quietly.

The thing which concerned Qin Muxuan most was how strangely stubborn Qin Xiaobai was. If he really wanted to do something and believed it was the right thing to do, he would definitely carry on doing that despite any difficulty or objection.

Elderly Lady Gu had just finished eating and was going back to her room. Yan Yuxiao happened to arrive at the Gu’s house. Seeing her coming, Elderly Lady Gu showed a beaming smile and said, “Yuxiao, what brings you here? Come chat with me in my room.”

Yan Yuxiao had stayed quiet the whole time. When she followed Elderly Lady Gu into the latter’s room, her eyes were suddenly filled with tears. Then she started to sob right away.

Elderly Lady Gu always cared about Yan Yuxiao. Seeing the latter crying, she couldn’t help but get nervous and asked anxiously, “What happened, Yuxiao? Who hurt you?”

Yan Yuxiao wiped her tears with her sleeves and shook her head with a seemingly tough look on her face, saying, “Nothing, grandma. I just suddenly remembered my own grandma and got a bit sad.”

Elderly Lady Gu sighed, “Oh my, don’t cry. You still have me.”

“Grandma Gu, you are the best.” Saying this, Yan Yuxiao took out a piece of paper from her Channel purse and continued, “Grandma Gu, my family lawyer contacted me today and gave me my grandmother’s will. He said that I should show it to you.”

Hearing that, Elderly Lady Gu took the paper instantly and checked it. Then she said with astonishment, “Gosh, why did it take you so long to show me this!’

It was stated on the will that Yan Yuxiao’s grandmother wished that Yan Yuxiao could be engaged to Gu Zijin. There was no other information on the paper except for that. Elderly Lady Gu kept sighing, because she knew that she was not able to persuade Gu Zijin right now.

Yan Yuxiao shook her head, looking quite pitiful with that tame look. She smiled and said, “Grandma, I’m glad that Zijin could have Miss Qin with him now. I just hope that he could be happy.”

“Alas, my poor girl.”

Elderly Lady Gu held Yan Yuxiao’s hand tightly and said in a firm voice, “Don’t worry. I will definitely fulfil my old friend’s last wish!” Actually, after what had happened today, Elderly Lady Gu only felt more reluctant to let Qin Muxuan stay in the Gu’s family.

In Elderly Lady Gu’s view, since Qin Muxuan couldn’t even fulfil her duty as a mother, then there was no reason for her to stay in the Gu’s family.

Yan Yuxiao felt happy secretly, but the look on her face still seemed very pitiful. Then, she tried to persuade the old lady, “Grandma, I’ll be happy if Zijin is happy. That’s enough for me.”

“Don’t say that!”

Elderly Lady Gu interrupted her abruptly, “You are the only great granddaughter-in-law I admit! Don’t worry, I’ll fight for your happiness!”

Yan Yuxiao lowered her head with a weird smile appearing on her face without the old lady noticing it, “Elderly Lady Gu, you are so nice to me.” Saying this, Yan Yuxiao hugged Elderly Lady Gu at once.

In fact, Yan Yuxiao’s grandma never left a will. She had asked someone to imitate her grandma’s handwriting and write this will. As long as Elderly Lady Gu checked that carefully, she would find something strange. However, the old lady was blinded by her own affection and didn’t know that she was totally manipulated by Yan Yuxiao.
