No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Hearing that Qin Xiaobai had run away from home, Elderly Lady Gu got both anxious and angry and almost fainted. With the help of Mrs. Gu, she even forgot to reach for her walking stick and only shouted abuses to Qin Muxuan, “How can you call yourself a mother! I shouldn’t have let you enter our family! See what you have caused!”

As she uttered those curses, she gasped fiercely and covered her chest. When she found that her dear and beloved great grandson had run away from home, she was so scared that she almost lost her breath.

“Mother, calm down!”

Mrs. Gu felt that the condition of Elderly Lady Gu wasn’t very good. Then she comforted the latter tenderly at once, “Don’t worry, I’ve already sent lots of people to search for him in nearby areas. They would definitely find him. Mother, you should go back to your room to have a rest now. You should take care of yourself.”

After that, Mrs. Gu winked at Nanny Chen. The latter got the point at once and walked over to help Elderly Lady Gu.

The old lady glared at Qin Muxuan who already freaked out and then went back to her room tremblingly.

Qin Muxuan’s head kept buzzing. She couldn’t help but think of the danger Qin Xiaobai might run into with the boy’s crying voice echoing in her ears. She shivered all over and rushed to the door at once. However, her wrist was grabbed by Gu Zijin.

“Let go of me, I need to find Xiaobai!”

Qin Muxuan was panicky and wanted to break away from his hand, “It’s too late now. Xiaobai must be so scared outside!”

As she said that, Qin Muxuan shed tears silently.

“You should calm down first!”

Gu Zijin’s deep voice gradually comforted her. He pressed on her shoulders and said in an earnest tone, “Stay calm first. I am as anxious as you. But you are not able to find him without having any clues. If you have an accident, Xiaobai would blame himself.”

No matter what happened, Gu Zijin was always able to keep a level head, which made others feel reassured.

After Qin Muxuan heard his words, she was not as muddleheaded as before. Then she wiped her tears with her sleeves and said in a low voice,

“I am calm now.”

“Now, think of the place where Xiaobai would go when he’s unhappy. If we follow that direction, we’ll surely find him.”

After Gu Zijin found that Qin Muxuan had finally calmed down, he continued in a soft voice, “Don’t worry, Xiaobai would be fine. I’ll look for him with you.”

Having thought it over, Gu Zijin planned to go find Qin Xiaobai with Qin Muxuan instead of sending out so many people. He didn’t think that Xiaobai would go too far and making a big deal of looking for the boy would only make it harder to find him because he might be nervous about that and hide himself on purpose.

Qin Muxuan nodded. In the meantime, she held Gu Zijin’s warm and large hands as a comfort to herself.

“I’ll go too.”

Mrs. Gu proposed that worriedly. However, Gu Zijin refused her.

“No, mom. You should stay at home now. If Xiaobai comes back, he needs someone whom he’s familiar with to be with him.”

Seeing that Gu Zijin insisted on that, Mrs. Gu finally compromised, “Fine.” She paused and continued, “Be careful, OK?”

“I know.”

After Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan left the Gu’s house, they arrived at a small park nearby. Qin Xiaobai always liked to play there after he had come back from kindergarten.

However, after they searched every place of the park, they still couldn’t find Qin Xiaobai.

“Let’s look for him in different directions.” Qin Muxuan felt they shouldn’t keep searching like this and proposed that, “It’ll be faster.”

Gu Zijin could tell that Qin Muxuan was firm on this, so he agreed, “Fine, anyone who finds Xiaobai should contact the other one.”

Then they went separate ways. Qin Muxuan tried to recall the places Qin Xiaobai might go to and also searched the places he might pass. However, she still couldn’t find the boy anywhere.

“Xiaobai, where are you?”

The panicky feeling she had before now came over her again.

Meanwhile, fear almost overwhelmed her. She couldn’t even breathe and squatted down slowly with her hand against the wall. While she was gasping, tears were pouring down from her face.

After Gu Zijin parted with Qin Muxuan, he started to think where Qin Xiaobai would go.

This little boy had run away in the middle of the night. He must be very scared after he calmed down. The darkness should frighten him, so he must want to find a bright place.

Gu Zijin walked to a small 24-hour supermarket which was hundreds of meters away from the Gu’s house. When he walked into the supermarket, he heard the clerk comforting someone in a soft voice,

“Little boy, don’t be afraid. Tell me where your house is, I’ll bring you there, OK? Do you want a lollipop?”

Qin Xiaobai sobbed and took the lollipop. Then he expressed his thanks in a hoarse voice, “Thanks, uncle.”

The clerk chuckled when seeing Qin Xiaobai being so polite, “You are welcome.” After that, he felt that someone had entered the supermarket. As he turned around, he found a man in deep blue pajamas walking in slowly.

The look on the man’s face was cold, but when he saw Qin Xiaobai, the look in his eyes softened right away. Still, his tone was slightly angry,

“Qin Xiaobai.”

Hearing that, Qin Xiaobai went stiff at once. He turned around and said in a trance, “Daddy…” Then, he took a step back.

“Come here.”

Gu Zijin had to admit that he really was a bit angry now, but he continued in a soft tone, “Xiaobai, everyone in our family is worrying about you right now.”

Qin Xiaobai who also knew that pulled the hem of his clothes with his little hands at a loss while walking toward Gu Zijin. Then the latter held Qin Xiaobai in his arms right away. After that, Gu Zijin looked to the clerk and nodded seriously while giving his thanks, “Thanks for taking my son in.”

“You, you are welcome.” The clerk watched Gu Zijin taking Qin Xiaobai in his arms and leaving in a daze, feeling that the father and son looked very familiar to him…

Qin Xiaobai put his arms around Gu Zijin’s neck with tears running down from his big black eyes. Actually, the moment he had run out of the Gu’s house, he regretted right away. However, when he tried to go home, he couldn’t find the way back.

“Tell me, what happened?”

Gu Zijin asked that in a deep voice. When Qin Xiaobai cried loudly and shouted before, Gu Zijin had already sensed that there must be something wrong.

Qin Xiaobai wiped his tears and sobbed, “Daddy, you are going to be engaged to Miss Yan, right?”

Gu Zijin, frowning, said, “Who told you that?”

“Miss Yan, she said that she would be my stepmother.”

After Gu Zijin realized what had happened, he was boiling with anger. However, the look on his face still remained calm. Then he stroked Qin Xiaobai’s back with his large hand and explained firmly, “I will never be engaged to Miss Yan. She was lying to you.”

Hearing that, Qin Xiaobai stopped crying instantly, “Really?”

“Have I ever lied to you?”

“No.”

Qin Xiaobai shook his head tamely and got relieved. However, he suddenly got anxious again because he remembered the words he had said to his mother when he couldn’t tell it was a lie…

“I’ll find mother with you.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Gu Zijin knew what Qin Xiaobai was thinking and looked into the latter’s eyes earnestly, “When we find her, you have to apologize sincerely to her, OK?”

“Yes!”

Qin Xiaobai nodded seriously, feeling extremely regretful that he had been deceived by Yan Yuxiao and quarreled with his mother.

Thinking that Qin Muxuan might be sad right now, Qin Xiaobai felt a dull pain in his heart right away.

As the father and son walked in the direction where Qin Muxuan had gone in the streetlight, they suddenly heard a squeal of brakes.
