No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Qin Muxuan opened her eyes and blinked slowly. She soon realized that she was in the hospital.

How many times had she been hospitalized since she returned to China? She couldn’t help but think. Then she smiled in spite of everything that had happened.

“Mommy, you finally wake up!”

“Mommy, I’m so scared!”

The moment she opened her eyes, both kids realized that she had woken up. They threw themselves at her, but they were lifted by a pair of powerful hands.

“Wait! Mommy has just woken up and she is very weak. Don’t get too close or you might hurt her.”

Xiaobai held Xiaoxin’s hand and stood there obediently. Then, he watched Gu Zijin walk over to hug Qin Muxuan and asked lovingly, “How do you feel?”

Of course, Xiaobai knew what his dad really meant by his words. He couldn’t help mumbling, “Dad is so petty!”

Then he went to the bedside with Xiaoxin and looked at Qin Muxuan with their bright puppy eyes.

Qin Muxuan had just woken up. She didn’t have much strength, but she couldn’t help but raise her hand and rub the heads of the two children. She smiled and said, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

However, the weakness in her voice was obvious. Gu Zijin tightened his grip and looked down at her.

Qin Muxuan raised her head to meet his gaze and consoled him, “I’m really fine. Don’t worry about me. How is Grandmother? ”

Gu Zijin placed his forehead against her neck and said in a low, muffled voice, “You care so much about Grandmother, but do you know that I was almost scared to death?”

He sounded as if he had been wronged.

Qin Muxuan didn’t have any extra strength to speak and could only pat his head.

Gu Zijin rubbed his forehead gently against her neck. Knowing that she didn’t have the strength to talk, he didn’t expect her to answer him. He tucked her in and said, “Grandmother is fine except that she is a little frightened. She’s in the neighbor ward right now. Thank you for protecting her this time. It was because of you that she didn’t get hurt.”

As he said this, he was silent for a moment before he continued, “Actually, you didn’t have to protect her at all. She used to treat you so badly…”

Qin Muxuan shook her head gently. “She is your grandma after all, and I can’t let hatred dominate my whole life. Gu Zijin, I’m trying to get better. You should be happy.”

“But…” Gu Zijin wanted to say something but Qin Muxuan interrupted him.

She said, “Let’s not talk about this. Don’t you think I’m just fine right now? I’m hungry. Can you go and buy some food for me?”

Gu Zijin stared at her for a long time before he kissed her gently on her forehead. “Okay. The moment you woke up, I’ve asked someone to buy your favorite porridge. And it’ll be here soon.”

He felt so sorry for her. She was so kind and nice. She never put him in an awkward situation, and had sacrificed so much for him. Why did he treat her so badly back then?

Thinking of that, Gu Zijin couldn’t help but feel hateful again. If Yan Yuxiao hadn’t stood in their way, they wouldn’t have wasted so many years before they got together.

Previously, he had been soft-hearted to Yan Yuxiao again and again. It was his fault that Qin Muxuan suffered so much this time. From now on, Yan Yuxiao would never cause trouble to her anymore.

Gu Zijin smiled perfectly and asked Qin Muxuan, “Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?”

Qin Muxuan shook her head. She wasn’t sleepy. She just felt a little pain and she believed that she could handle it.

Gu Zijin held her hand with one of his hands and stroked her soft hair with his other hand. Xiaobai and Xiaoxin had already come to the other side of the bed and held Qin Muxuan’s other hand. The family of four had never had such a warm moment before.

“Since you’re not sleepy, let’s talk then,” Gu Zijin chat warmly, “I’ve dealt with Yan Yuxiao. She will never show up in front of you again.”

“What did you do to her?”

“I know!” Xiaobai raised his hand quickly. “I’ll tell mommy!”

Qin Muxuan turned her face towards Xiaobai. Xiaoxin clapped jubilantly, “Wow, brother, you’re amazing!”

Gu Zijin’s face darkened. This punk!

Xiaobai took out his phone, logged onto his Weibo account and showed it to Qin Muxuan, “Mommy, look!”

It was the most popular hashtag for the day: Yan Yuxiao has been detained for deliberately hurting people.

Qin Muxuan was stunned and looked at Gu Zijin. “You sent her to jail?”

Gu Zijin nodded. “Yes. I pulled some strings so she will be given a sentence as soon as possible. I also told them that she should receive a severe punishment, and that no one is allowed to bail her out.”

Qin Muxuan felt a bit conflicted. She felt it was too cruel for Yan Yuxiao and was about to say something when Gu Zijin quickly said, “Don’t ask me to show mercy to her. I know that you are soft-hearted, but I will never let anyone who hurt you get away with it. She deserves whatever punishment that she will receive.”

“I also arranged for someone to ‘take good care’ of her in jail.” Gu Zijin thought inwardly, but he couldn’t let Qin Muxuan know about this.

Qin Muxuan sighed and said nothing.

Gu Zijin let out a sigh of relief.

“Knock, knock.” Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” Gu Zijin said in a low voice.

He thought that it was Lisa who had come back with the food. He didn’t expect that two people were following her, as she carried a lunch box and got in.

Ye Han helped Elderly Lady Gu in.

The air in the room became stagnant. Qin Muxuan felt very awkward. When she hid Elderly Lady Gu behind her, she was just following her heart. Now, she felt uncomfortable facing her like this.

“Muxuan,” Ye Han broke the awkward silence, “I haven’t seen you since you came back. Thank you for what you did this time.”

She was as gentle as always and was still very nice to Qin Muxuan.

Qin Muxuan looked at her gratefully. “No, Auntie, I should’ve visited you. Sorry, I…”

Gu Zijin stopped her. He didn’t want Qin Muxuan to spend so much effort talking now, “Mother, grandmother, why are you here?”

Ye Han glared at him. “Come on, isn’t it obvious? We are here to see Muxuan.”

Gu Zijin looked at Elderly Lady Gu in disbelief. He believed that Ye Han was here to see Qin Muxuan, but he didn’t believe that Elderly Lady Gu would be so nice. Although Qin Muxuan had just saved her life, what she did to Qin Muxuan in the past had left a deep impression on him and he had to be extra cautious.

Elderly Lady Gu, who had been silent the whole time, pushed away Ye Han, who was standing in front of her.

She still looked a little awful, but she had regained her usual calmness.

Facing Qin Muxuan, she said hesitantly, “Thank you for saving my life this time. Thank you.”

She paused and then added, “All these years, I was blinded by Yan Yuxiao. I’m sorry. I apologize to you.”

Then, she looked at Qin Muxuan with shining eyes.

Qin Muxuan didn’t know what to say. She never thought that Elderly Lady Gu would speak so gently to her one day.

“You…you’re welcome.”
