No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Qin Muxuan put down the mop and said calmly,

“Nanny, I’ve already finished the housework and made improvements as told. There shouldn’t be anything else I need to do right now.”

The old woman sized up the whole place and answered yes reluctantly.

Only then did Qin Muxuan go upstairs to take a shower. When she finished showering and wanted to walk out of the bathroom, the light was suddenly turned off. With her body trembling, she reached out her hand to grope for the door handle. However, as she pushed the button on the handle, the door wasn’t open as if it had been locked from outside. When she was in the shower, she hadn’t paid attention to the sound outside. Now she couldn’t help but wonder if the old woman was the one who locked her inside.

Right now, her phone and clothes were all placed outside. After she finished showering, she felt cold all over and could only wrap herself with a towel. Then she knocked the door,

“Nanny! Nanny! Can you hear me? Can you please open the door for me?! Nanny?”

At last, Qin Muxuan shouted herself hoarse and still couldn’t hear a response. After a long while, the old woman’s voice finally came through,

“Miss Qin, I didn’t mean to create difficulties for you, but you should know that there are things you can do, and certain things you can’t. Elderly Lady Gu cannot do something like this, but I can since I’m just a servant.”

Qin Muxuan sat on the cold floor while leaning on the glass door, feeling a chill all over her body, with water dropping from her hair. Meanwhile, she could only wrap herself more tightly and curl up with her body shivering.

When the old woman felt Qin Muxuan had been locked in there for a long time already, she snorted and turned on the light of the bathroom and opened the lock. After that, the old woman walked out with a sneer. At the moment, Qin Muxuan already got weak and limp all over due to the coldness. Having struggled to stand up and walked out of the bathroom, she staggered and fell onto the bed with her legs numb.

As Gu Zijin saw that Elderly Lady Gu, Mrs. Gu and Nanny Chen all came to their native home, he couldn’t help frowning. When realizing that Qin Muxuan was in the Gu’s house alone, he got a bit worried. At the moment, Qin Xiaobai raised his head and asked,

“Daddy, mommy has to sleep alone tonight. Can I go back to accompany her?”

Gu Zijin nodded slightly and held Xiaobai up with one arm. After he bid farewell to a few of his elders, he walked toward the door at once. In the meantime, Elderly Lady Gu couldn’t find Gu Zijin anywhere after she had glanced around. Then she frowned slightly,

“Where is Zijin?”

“Oh, Young Master seems to have brought Little Master back home.”

“What?! Call him to check that!”

“Yes, my lady.”

In no time, the servant came back right away, saying,

“Elderly Lady Gu, I’ve just called Young Master. He said that Little Master and he have already gone back.”

Hearing that, Elderly Lady Gu changed the look on her face right away. Then she told Nanny Chen to contact the old woman in the Gu’s house immediately.

After the old woman learned that Gu Zijin and Qin Xiaobai were about to come back, she got panicky at once. When she entered the main bedroom, she found Qin Muxuan already unconscious on the bed. After she patted on Qin Muxuan’s body a few times, the latter still didn’t wake up. Then the old woman just thumped harder and harder.

When Gu Zijin parked the car in front of the Gu’s house, he, with a surprised look in his eyes, found that the lights in the living room and the bedroom were all on. The moment Qin Xiaobai got off the car, he walked inside right away. Suddenly, he stopped on second thought and then pulled Gu Zijin’s clothes while saying in a tender voice,

“Daddy, let’s give Dabai a surprise! I have packed up some dessert for her.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Fine.”

Gu Zijin and Qin Xiaobai both walked upstairs gently without speaking. However, as they opened the door of the bedroom, they saw the old woman pushing Qin Muxuan into the quilt rudely as if she was moving a lifeless object. With coldness in Gu Zijin’s eyes, he grabbed the old woman’s hand and said in a furious voice,

“What are you doing now?”

“Young, Young Master, Miss Qin is sleeping now. I just want to cover her body with a quilt.”

Gu Zijin dragged the old woman off the bed straightly and pushed her away. The old woman who couldn’t bear the force fell onto the ground at once while crying with pain. Qin Xiaobai had already approached Qin Muxuan while saying worriedly,

“Daddy, what happened to mommy? I couldn’t wake her up, she feels so cold.”

Hearing that, Gu Zijin, with a deep frown, held Qin Muxuan in his arms at once. As he saw the red marks on her face, he flew into a rage at once. Then he looked to the old woman with an icy cold look, saying,

“For what you did to Qin Muxuan today, I’ll pay you back one hundred times more.”

The old woman got extremely scared hearing that while cowering,

“Young Master, Elderly Lady Gu told me to do that. This is all Elderly Lady Gu’s instruction.”

“Even if she told you to do so, who gave you the courage to touch my woman, Nanny Nan?”

Gu Zijin kicked Nanny Nan fiercely. Then he held Qin Muxuan up and walked downstairs at a fast speed. Qin Xiaobai seemed to realize what had happened too. He shouted to the old woman with a fierce look,

“I won’t let you get away with this!”

At midnight.

Qin Muxuan opened her eyes weakly, seeing the ceiling of the ward. The air was filled with the distinct smell of the disinfection fluid in the hospital. ‘Why am I in the hospital right now?’ Before she could think further, she saw Gu Zijin. Right now, he propped his face up with one of his hands beside her bed. Qin Muxuan then pulled his sleeve.

Gu Zijin always had a light sleep. As he sensed Qin Muxuan’s move, he woke up right away and looked to her,

“What happened?”

“I’m fine. I don’t need to stay in hospital.”

Gu Zijin held her hand with a guilty look in his eyes and sighed gently,

“Qin Muxuan, why didn’t you call me when Nanny Nan bullied you?”

“I don’t want to bother you with such trifles.”

“This is not a trifle. If I didn’t go back, you’ll be in a comma on bed for the whole night. Do you know how serious the consequence would be?”

Qin Muxuan lowered her head and coughed with a pale face. Seeing that, Gu Zijin didn’t continue and poured a glass of water for her. She sipped the water with tears welling up in her eyes,

“Gu Zijin, thank you.”

“Qin Muxuan, don’t say thanks to me.”

After saying that, Gu Zijin stroked Qin Muxuan’s pale face while compressing his lips.

“Promise me that you’ll take care of yourself even if I am not with you. If you cannot do that, you have to hang in there until I come to you.”

The next day.

After Elderly Lady Gu arrived at home, she saw Gu Zijin sat on the sofa and seemed to be waiting for her. Then she turned her face away, saying,

“Nanny Chen, I’m tired. Help me get upstairs to have a rest.”

“Grandma, wait.”

Elderly Lady Gu thumped her walking stick fiercely, saying,

“If you still care about your grandma even a little bit, you shouldn’t quarrel with me for that woman! I am an old woman; I just want what’s good for you.”

“Grandma, what you did is not good for me at all. Hurting Qin Muxuan is no difference from hurting me.”

“You!’

Elderly Lady Gu, boiling with anger, thought, ‘Do you know what you are talking about right now? What do you mean by saying hurting Qin Muxuan is no difference from hurting you! What does it mean?!”
