No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

“By the way, I’ll go to my firm today. You’d better rest at home. If you don’t want to drink the sober-up soup downstairs, I’ll let Nanny Chen bring it up here.”

Hearing that Qin Muxuan was about to go out, Gu Zijin compressed his lips with a displeased look in his eyes and said,

“Why can’t you look after me?”

Qin Muxuan felt her heart missing a beat hearing his magnetic voice. How could Gu Zijin talk with her like this! After Qin Muxuan warned herself not to be seduced by his handsome face, she cooled down and said,NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Gu Zijin, you are a grown-up man now. You should learn to take care of yourself. Also, I’ve already informed the people in my firm that I would go there today…”

“My stomach aches.”

Gu Zijin’s pale face suggested that he wasn’t lying now. Qin Muxuan inhaled slightly and said,

“I’ll let Nanny Chen make soup for you to warm your stomach later.”

Gu Zijin, with a depressed look flashing in his eyes, lay on the bed again while using the back of hand to cover his face, saying,

“Fine, you can go. If it gets serious, I can go to hospital by myself.”

“Then why don’t you let go of my hand?”

Qin Muxuan lowered her head and looked at Gu Zijin’s hand which was holding hers, feeling quite helpless. Clearly Gu Zijin wasn’t totally sober yet.

Otherwise why was he even more clingy than Xiaobai?

After Qin Muxuan finally left the Gu’s house, she still felt a bit worried about Gu Zijin. Then she wrote in the memo in her phone that she should call Gu Zijin to check his condition in the afternoon. After the car reached her firm, she tidied herself up and asked Uncle Chen to put her down. Then she walked into the firm alone.

When she pushed the door open, she saw Qin Feng already start working there. Right now, he was making drawings beside three or four thick books on the desk, wearing black-frame glasses. Hearing the door opening, he pointed to the place next to him and said,

“Feel free to sit. This will be your seat afterwards. If you have any questions, just ask me. The papers by your right hand are the drawings that you need to modify.”

The office was in a medieval European decoration style, looking solemn and graceful. Qin Muxuan sat on the seat that Qin Feng had pointed at and asked wonderingly,

“Mr. Qin, I saw others working in the cubicles outside this office. Why can I work here?”

Qin Feng, the man with a cold face, said with the corner of his mouth raised,

“Miss Qin, you can sit here because of your great working competence. Also, the staff out there seem a bit scared of me. I don’t like others working beside me with fear.”

“I see.” Qin Muxuan muttered that. If she hadn’t been accustomed to facing a man like Gu Zijin, she would also feel stressed working with Qin Feng who seemed to be super strict.

At lunch time, Qin Feng proposed to order two sets of take-away food. After he asked about Qin Muxuan’s preference for food, he started to order. Then Qin Muxuan couldn’t help but ask,

“Mr. Qin, I saw a kitchen in our firm when I came in.”

Qin Feng took off his glasses and looked at Qin Muxuan with great interest,

“No one here knows how to cook. Do you?”

“Eh, a little bit. I just feel that the take-away food isn’t nutritious.”

Qin Feng showed a vague smile on his face and said,

“Then Miss Qin, thanks for cooking lunch for me.”

“My pleasure. Just call me Qin Muxuan.”

“Fine.”

The facilities in the kitchen were simple and tidy, which showed clearly that the kitchen was seldom used. There weren’t too many food materials in the fridge except for a few tomatoes, some eggs and a little rice. After Qin Muxuan had tied up her hair, she cooked two dishes and a soup. Then she put the dishes in two lunch boxes and brought the boxes into her office. Seeing the dishes inside the box, Qin Feng said thanks to her and started eating. Qin Muxuan found that Qin Feng was not picky about food and almost ate all the things she cooked. As she looked away from him, she remembered that she still needed to call Gu Zijin. Then she took out her phone and dialed his number. On the other side, Gu Zijin picked up the phone only after it had vibrated for a while. As he saw the name on the phone screen, he thought with the look in his eyes turning softer, ‘Luckily this woman still has some conscience.”

“Yes?”

“How are you doing now?”

“I’m fine. What about you? Did everything go well with your work? If you don’t like working there, you can come back to the Gu Group at any time.”

“Everything’s fine here. Don’t forget to drink warm water and take your pills on time.”

…

After she hung up the phone, she found that Qin Feng seemed to have stared at her for a long time. However, he felt not awkward being caught staring at her and said right away,

“Boyfriend?”

“No.”

Qin Feng then said,

“Don’t worry. I’m just a bit curious because your voice sounded quite tender when you were on the phone.”

After Qin Feng said that, Qin Muxuan’s ears turned a bit red. She never realized that her voice was very tender when she talked to Gu Zijin. When she got off work, she stayed at the place where Uncle Chen had put her down in the morning because she assumed that he would pick her up. However, when she saw the black Bentley driving to her, she got dazed right away. She didn’t know why Gu Zijin had got off work so early today.

After the black Bentley stopped in front of her, the car window was rolled down while Gu Zijin’s handsome face showed up,

“Why are you in a trance? Get in the car.”

Qin Muxuan then came back to her sense and got in the car. After that, the car headed in a direction which was unfamiliar to her. Seeing the changing scenes out of the window, she frowned and said,

“This is not the way to the Gu’s house.”

“I know.”

“Gu Zijin, where are you taking me?’

“You’ll know about it when you arrive.”

Qin Muxuan, mouth twitched, thought to herself, ‘I only asked you because I didn’t know!’ However, it seemed that Gu Zijin had no intention to tell her, so she could only hold back her curiosity and stop asking while watching the car heading to an unknown road.

In the Gu’s house.

After Elderly Lady Gu walked downstairs with her walking stick, she looked out of the window with her eyebrows knitted,

“Nanny Chen, why haven’t Zijin and Xiaobai come back?”

“I, I don’t know.”

Mrs. Gu came out from the kitchen and walked over to help Elderly Lady Gu while saying,

“Mother, Zijin might take Xiaobai and Muxuan out. He’s an adult now, you don’t need to worry about him.”

“I am worrying about him because he went out with that woman!”

Elderly Lady Gu’s face flushed in rage and she thought, ‘Zijin has only muddled through his date with Yuxiao! Who would leave his date on the road and walk away! Why he prefers Qin Muxuan to Yuxiao! Yuxiao is prettier than her and from a literary family! She is much better than Qin Muxuan! Zijin, what do you like about that woman?” Thinking of that, Elderly Lady Gu got even more furious and said in a sharp tone,

“Call Zijin! He has to come back now!”

Mrs. Gu said reluctantly,

“Mother, if he doesn’t want to come back, there is no use calling him.”

“I want to see who’s more important to him, me or Qin Muxuan!”‘

Elderly Lady Gu thumped the ground with her walking stick. Then Mrs. Gu could only dial Gu Zijin’s number.

On the other side, Gu Zijin who was driving now hung up the phone directly with his lips compressed when he saw the number on the screen.
