No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 95: A Weak Spot



Uncle Chen had just entered the room after he sent Qin Xiaobai back. When he saw Gu Zijin, he asked at once,

“Young Master, there are lots of reporters outside claiming that we need to give the public an explanation. What happened?”

Qin Xiaobai raised his head to look at Uncle Chen, and then at Gu Zijin,

“Daddy, what happened?”

“Nothing, go upstairs to do your homework.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing the word ‘homework’, Qin Xiaobai walked upstairs in low spirits with his head lowered. Qin Muxuan was taking a shower right now, so the boy could only close his room door and started doing his homework.

After he had done a few exercises, he couldn’t help but reach for his cell phone. However, the moment he opened the Weibo page, he saw Qin Muxuan’s name in the trending topic. Then he saw the red headline ‘Qin Muxuan stole others’ design, President Gu gave unprincipled protection to her.’ with a dazed look in his eyes.

Qin Xiaobai frowned sullenly. ‘Dabai will never steal others’ design. Those evil men and women must have wronged her.’ Thinking of that, Qin Xiaobai clenched his fists and then wrote a clarification for Qin Muxuan on his personal page.

In no time, lots of his fans commented on his blog. Seeing that, Qin Xiaobai wasn’t in the mood of doing homework at all. Then he stood up and trotted outside.

As Qin Muxuan had just walked out of the bathroom, she heard the chubby boy knocking on the door,

“Dabai, have you finished showering? Do you want to eat fruit salad?”

‘What is this boy up to? Why the sudden attentive move?’ Qin Muxuan thought subconsciously. Then she dried her hair with a towel and walked out. As she held the chubby boy up, she asked,

“Do you want to skip doing your homework again and need me to put in a good word for you?”

Qin Xiaobai hugged Qin Muxuan and said in a tender voice,

“Of course not, I’ve almost finished the homework. Dabai, how do you feel right now?”

‘My feeling?’ Qin Muxuan got dazed hearing his question. Then she remembered what had happened today. She didn’t want to tell Xiaobai because she felt that there was no need for a little boy to know that.

“I’m fine. Why did you ask that?”

“Well, nothing, just wanna ask.”

Qin Xiaobai blinked his eyes with an innocent look. Then Qin Muxuan carried the boy downstairs. When they arrived at the living room, Qin Xiaobai pointed to the fruit salad with a smile on his face,

“Dabai, I’ve cut the fruit by myself. You should have a taste.”

After Qin Xiaobai was put down by Qin Muxuan, he picked a slice of fruit with chopsticks and then stood on tiptoe to feed Qin Muxuan. The latter took a bite of the fruit, feeling the sweetness of the fruit and the delicious taste of the salad dressing. After that, Qin Xiaobai blinked his star-like eyes and looked at Qin Muxuan, waiting for her praise. Qin Muxuan couldn’t help chuckling while rubbing the boy’s head,

“You should have some more. After you finish, don’t forget to do your homework upstairs.”

“Ok.”

Gu Zijin went out at midnight. Although Qin Muxuan didn’t know what he was up to, she had a dim feeling that it might be related to herself. Then she walked to the windows with bare feet to look down. The night was quiet and dark. After she stared at the scenery for a while, she went back to her bed and continued to sleep.

Gu Zijin asked Lisa to contact the organizing committee of this international contest. In the middle of the night, a middle-aged man walked into the office. Seeing the gloomy look on Gu Zijin’s face, the man got a fearful feeling deep down at once. He had heard that Gu Zijin inherited the Gu Group at a young age and was a very sophisticated man with a decisive character and iron-fisted moves.

The middle-aged man couldn’t figure out why Gu Zijin wanted to meet him at midnight. Then as he remembered what had happened in the daytime, he said with a bit panicky look,

“Young Master Gu, we’ll figure out what happened and clear Miss Qin’s name.”

“Figure it out? How long will it take?”

Gu Zijin hated to beat around the bush and said straightly. The judge of the contest wiped his cold sweats. The investigation could be either fast or slow. However, if Qin Muxuan truly was innocent, the people who were able to change the drawings at the last moment must have a very powerful background too. The judge was only afraid that someone like Gu Zijin would show up again. By then he really wouldn’t know what to do.

Gu Zijin said in a cold voice,

“I give you two days. If you haven’t figured it out by then, I’ll have to fire you to let you reflect on yourself.”

“Eh…”

The middle-aged man finally answered yes. Then Gu Zijin compressed his lips and said,

“Fine, you can leave now.”

“Yes, master.”

The man went out with a sigh of relief while Gu Zijin’s face still showed great anxiety. Ever since Qin Muxuan came back to him, his peaceful life had always been disturbed by lots of things. He couldn’t help but wonder if Qin Muxuan had run into all the trouble because of him.

In the morning the next day.

When Qin Muxuan went downstairs to eat breakfast, she saw Gu Zijin coming out of the study. He seemed to have stayed up all night with dark circles under his eyes. When Elderly Lady Gu walked out with her walking stick, she happened to see Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan going downstairs together. Then she got angry instantly. When she sat on her seat, she thumped the chopsticks on the table and said,

“The CEO of Shengtian Entertainment is an old acquaintance of mine. Zijin, you have proposed to purchase his company and shut down a few media companies which have reported the news of Qin Muxuan’s plagiarism. What the hell do you want?!”

“Grandma, I was only protecting the person I want to protect.”

Elderly Lady Gu was so indignant that she almost fainted

“Fine, I’m an old woman now and could never discipline you. Just do anything you want!”

Mrs. Gu stepped forward to pat on Elderly Lady Gu’s back while glaring at Gu Zijin,

“Zijin, how can you talk to your grandma like that?”

Gu Zijin didn’t say anything and only held Qin Muxuan’s hand and sat down. Elderly Lady Gu stood up and walked upstairs straightaway without eating the breakfast. ‘Zijin must be bewildered by that girl, otherwise he wouldn’t have acted against my will so straightly! He was not like this before!”

Then she remembered the news she had seen this morning. ‘Not only has this Qin Muxuan flirted with other men, but she even cheated in the design competition! She doesn’t deserve to be in our family at all! If she marries into our family, I’ll be ashamed to meet the Gu’s ancestors!’

Qin Muxuan still couldn’t bear seeing Elderly Lady Gu walking upstairs alone, so she said,

“Gu Zijin, you don’t have to contradict Elderly Lady Gu for me.”

“It’s my own business. You don’t need to find excuses for grandma.”

Gu Zijin put dishes in her bowl while saying that. Mrs. Gu didn’t know what to say and only sighed. Gu Zijin had already told her about who had harmed Gu Heng. However, Mrs. Gu understood Elderly Lady Gu’s difficulties as a mother, so she eventually forgave the old lady. What surprised Mrs. Gu most was that Gu Zijin had directly asked He Cheng to deal with this.

Gu Zijin used to be an indifferent person who never desired anything. However, ever since Qin Muxuan showed up in his life again, he suddenly had someone that he wanted to protect. Mrs. Gu lowered her head, not knowing if that was a good thing or not. She was afraid that Gu Zijin might get hurt in the future because of Qin Muxuan.

After Qin Xiaobai had finished breakfast, he went to shoot for a film. He said goodbye to Qin Muxuan and got in the car.
