No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 18: Aunt Yan



In the evening, Qin Xiaobai pushed Qin Muxuan downstairs to eat dinner. Noticing the movement upstairs, Gu Zijin glanced at Qin Muxuan imperceptibly.

Qin Muxuan’s face was still a little pale. It seemed that she was really scared by the speeding car just now.

When Gu Zijin was thinking about whether to get a glass of warm water for Qin Muxuan, a slender white hand took his arm.

“Brother Zijin, I finally meet you here. You know what? I went to the company before, but your assistant was very lofty. I really don’t know whether you are the president or she is the president.”

Yan Yuxiao poured out her woes about the cold shoulder she had suffered in the Gu Group a few days ago while brothering Gu Zijin.

Gu Zijin’s cold eyes fell on Yan Yuxiao’s hand, and he looked obviously annoyed.

“Why are you here?”

“Grandma Gu asked me to come and have dinner together.”

“Okay.”

Gu Zijin pulled his hand away from Yan Yuxiao’s hand calmly, stood up and walked towards Qin Muxuan.

Qin Muxuan had already seen the intimate interaction between Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao, and felt a little uncomfortable. But she still sat quietly at the dining table with Qin Xiaobai and turned a blind eye to them.

Unexpectedly, the chair beside her was pulled aside, and Gu Ziyu sat down.

When Qin Muxuan was about to stand up, her hand was held by Gu Zijin.

The fingers were interlocked, and a stream of warmth came from the broad palm. Qin Muxuan became slightly annoyed, but she couldn’t show it with Mrs. Gu sitting opposite. She had to let him hold her hand under the table.

Elderly Lady Gu went downstairs late because of her poor health. When she saw Qin Muxuan and Gu Zijin sitting together and leaving Yan Yuxiao aside, she frowned, “Zijin, sit next to Yuxiao. She is our guest and you should stay with her more.”

Yan Yuxiao said thoughtfully, “Grandma Gu, it’s fair and reasonable that Brother Zijin and Miss Qin sit together. Stop making fun of me with such ideas.”

Having said that, Yan Yuxiao showed a little hope in her eyes, and Elderly Lady Gu felt a fit of distress looking at this. Yan Yuxiao was the only granddaughter of her old friend. How could she let the girl get hurt in the Gu family?

Therefore, she looked at Gu Zijin with a straight face.

“Now you have grown up and dare to ignore your grandma’s words?”

Gu Zijin was cold-faced and he didn’t feel like standing up at all. His face was as cold as the frost and snow in February.

“Grandma, I know what you mean. But I have Xiaobai now and I will not take your advice for the moment.”

“You… Do you want to piss me off? Are you going to take care of a son and live without a wife for your entire life?”

Elderly Lady Gu was so angry that she looked pale. When Mrs. Gu was about to smooth things over, Yan Yuxiao said first, “Grandma, don’t get angry. I… Actually I don’t like Brother Zijin. Grandma, I may have made you misunderstand. Actually, I don’t have that feeling for Brother Zijin at all.”

Elderly Lady Gu looked at Yan Yuxiao wonderingly. Yan Yuxiao had already held her hand to take her seat. Elderly Lady Gu’s pale face got much better with Yan Yuxiao’s murmurous words of comfort, but she still saw Qin Muxuan and Gu Zijin with cold eyes.

Qin Muxuan knew that she was not welcomed, so she didn’t talk much. Anyway, she just stayed here for two months. Furthermore, the Gu family almost dominated A City, so she could not afford the result of offending them at all.

Qin Xiaobai bit his lips discontentedly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Elderly Lady Gu like a little wolf dog.

“Great-grandma, if you don’t like Mommy, I can leave here with Mommy.”

A faint of panic fell across Elderly Lady Gu’s face, and she said fawningly, “How could great-grandma dislike your mommy? Xiaobai, good boy, it’s all my fault.”

Elderly Lady Gu really loved her great-grandson. Now when Qin Xiaobai said that he was leaving, she felt reluctant and distressed right away.

It was hard-won to get a great-grandson. How could she leave a poor impression on her great-grandson?

In order to show that she had no problem with Qin Muxuan, Elderly Lady Gu wore a kind and pleasant look temporarily and even put the dish into Qin Muxuan’s bowl. Qin Xiaobai stopped being angry then. He tried to use chopsticks to clamp a dish that Qin Muxuan liked with his little chubby hands. Then he put it into Qin Muxuan’s bowl carefully.

“Mommy, here you are.”

Elderly Lady Gu got even more unpleasant when she saw Qin Muxuan. It must be Qin Muxuan that taught Xiaobai to talk like this. Otherwise, how could a five-year-old child say these things?

Thinking of this, Elderly Lady Gu became increasingly dissatisfied with Qin Muxuan.

A faint of coldness flashed across Yan Yuxiao’s eyes when she saw that Elderly Lady Gu was so concerned about Qin Xiaobai. It seemed that she had to start with Qin Xiaobai if she wanted to be the young mistress of the Gu family. Otherwise, even if she drove Qin Muxuan away with great pains, she couldn’t get what she wanted if Qin Xiaobai didn’t like her.

Thinking of this, Yan Yuxiao poured a glass of milk herself for Qin Xiaobai.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Xiaobai, you are a good boy. You need to drink more milk to grow taller.”

Qin Xiaobai’s dark eyes blinked slowly.

“Aunt Yan, I don’t want to drink milk, and Mommy makes me cereal every night.”

Yan Yuxiao looked a little gloomy. Although Qin Xiaobai called her aunt first, his latter words completely claimed Qin Muxuan’s dominance.

Everyone had his own thoughts throughout the meal.

Gu Zijin took a few more glances at Qin Xiaobai unconsciously, and a smile appeared at a corner of his mouth. Qin Xiaobai inherited his high IQ indeed.

After dinner, Qin Xiaobai kept snuggling up to Qin Muxuan, leaving Yan Yuxiao no chance to approach. Since it was getting dark, Yan Yuxiao had to leave the Gu’s house sulkily.

Despite much grumble in her heart, Elderly Lady Gu had to put up with them when she saw that Qin Xiaobai liked Qin Muxuan so much. After all, it was inappropriate to vent her anger in front of children.

Gu Zijin was watching the financial news on the sofa. When he saw the mother and child sit on the carpet having fun, he somehow felt like he had been ignored again.

Obviously, he also made half contribution to giving birth to Qin Xiaobai. Why did Qin Xiaobai have eyes only for Qin Muxuan?

Qin Muxuan was holding Qin Xiaobai and telling him stories, and Qin Xiaobai was giggling.

Gu Zijin’s gaze fell on Qin Muxuan. Well, he kind of also wanted to be a child and be held by Qin Muxuan in such a close manner.

Gu Zijin chuckled at his ridiculous idea soon afterwards.

Had he gone crazy recently? Why did he keep fixing his eyes on Qin Muxuan?

He had met quite a few women who were more elegant and intellectual than Qin Muxuan these years.

But she was the only audacious woman who broke into his room five years ago. When he thought of this, Gu Zijin’s eyes grew darker, and he stood up and walked over.

Qin Muxuan’s smile became stiff when she was aware that Gu Zijin came near. Gu Zijin put a hand on her shoulder and said, “It’s getting late. You go take a shower. I’ll take care of Xiaobai.”
