No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 374: Meditating in the Darkness



Qin Muxuan was exhausted after taking the shower and soon fell asleep.

While she was half awake and half dreaming, Qin Muxuan felt that the other side of the bed sank. The familiar cold fragrance came with a slight chill, and then there was no movement.

Qin Muxuan moved to the source of the heat and asked in a daze, “You’re back?”

Seeing that Qin Muxuan looked sleepy and cute, Gu Zijin smiled and held her in his arms.

Qin Muxuan found a comfortable angle in Gu Zijin’s arms and finally settled down. “What time is it?”

Gu Zijin spoke very closely to Qin Muxuan’s ear in a low voice, “It’s almost two o’clock.”

Qin Muxuan felt her earlobe numb but she didn’t have the strength to open her eyes. So she only let out a low “Mhmm.”

Gu Zijin saw Qin Muxuan’s slightly red earlobe, lowered his head and kissed her. Then he saw Qin Muxuan’s ear shaking a bit just like what a dog did after it had been touched.

The smile on Gu Zijin’s face deepened as he asked jokingly, “Why didn’t you reply to my message?”

Qin Muxuan was not clear-minded and only vaguely said, “I don’t know.”

Gu Zijin was a little speechless. It seemed that one couldn’t get a good answer when you asked people who couldn’t think right a question, so it was better to just give up.

Gu Zijin patted Qin Muxuan on the back, “Alright, go to sleep.”

Qin Muxuan was completely silent.

When Qin Muxuan opened her eyes the next day, there was no one beside her.

Qin Muxuan looked at the clock. It was 8:30 in the morning. Luckily, she didn’t sleep late until noon, as she didn’t want to watch the aunt’s meaningful smile again.

After freshening up, Qin Muxuan went downstairs. Gu Zijin, Xiaoxin and Xiaobai were already sitting by the dining table. Great, she seemed to be the last person to get up.

Qin Muxuan found an excuse for herself in her heart. She must have been too exciting after taking those high-altitude rides yesterday. Last night, even after she closed her eyes, she still felt like she was on the roller coaster!

When the aunt saw Qin Muxuan go downstairs, she quickly added a pair of chopsticks, “Madam, please.”

Even though Qin Muxuan was still a little uncomfortable with being addressed as the madam of this villa, when she saw that Gu Zijin had no intention of correcting the aunt, she didn’t want to explain either.

Xiaoxin looked up at Qin Muxuan and mercilessly opened her mouth, “Mommy, you slept late again.”

Qin Muxuan felt a bit guilty and retorted weakly, “Isn’t it only nine o’clock now?”

“But we’re all up, and you’re the last one to come downstairs,” Xiaoxin added.

Fine, Qin Muxuan had nothing to say.

Xiaobai helped Qin Muxuan out, “Mommy was just too tired after she came back from the amusement park yesterday. She has never taken those rides before.”

Qin Muxuan almost cried and praised Xiaobai as a good child in her heart.

Xiaoxin finally let go of the conversation about Qin Muxuan’s sleeping late and continued eating.

After eating for a while, Qin Muxuan remembered that Jian Xi told her about getting back to work and asked Xiaobai, “Xiaobai, when are you going back to the set?”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Whenever you go back, I will go back,” Xiaobai blurted out.

Qin Muxuan heard the expected answer and nodded. “Yesterday, the director called Aunty Jian Xi, so I’m going back to the set tomorrow.”

Xiaobai nodded, “Then I will go with you.”

Gu Zijin interjected, “Do you need me to drive you there tomorrow?”

Hearing that, Qin Muxuan immediately shook her head, “No, no, Jian Xi will take me there!” Come on, if someone took photos of Gu Zijin personally taking her to the set, she would definitely be on the top of the Trending Topics again!

Seeing that Qin Muxuan refused him without hesitation, Gu Zijin’s face darkened. “Do you dislike me so much that you don’t want to be seen with me so much?”

Qin Muxuan was stunned for a moment. Did she just sense a trace of resentment from Gu Zijin’s tone? And what he said made she feel that the two of them were in some kind of relationship.

Seeing that Gu Zijin was obviously unhappy, Qin Muxuan decided to follow him, “I don’t dislike you. You’re a big CEO. How can I ask you to drive me there? Besides, I wouldn’t know what to say if people photographed us together again.”

Gu Zijin said matter-of-factly, “I don’t mind being photographed together.” He wanted to more photos like that out there so that everyone would know that Qin Muxuan was his woman, and so that no one would woo her.

Qin Muxuan was really pissed off. You don’t mind it but I do!

Qin Muxuan still refused, “Anyway, we should try our best not to be photographed together again. I don’t want to be the top of the hot search anymore. I’d better let Jian Xi pick me up tomorrow.”

Seeing that Qin Muxuan didn’t want to be in the same picture with him, Gu Zijin was a little angry, but he didn’t want to force her. He only snorted and didn’t say anything.

At this moment, Xiaobai sensed the bad chemistry between his father and mommy. He quickly played his role as a mediator and changed the topic, “Da Bai, can I go with you tomorrow?”

Qin Muxuan carefully phrased her words in her heart. “Xiaobai, you’d better ask your assistant to take you there. If the two of us go together, I’m afraid that others will talk about it. I don’t want you to face so many speculations and discussions. Can you understand me?”

Although Xiaobai was a little disappointed, he could understand what Qin Muxuan was concerned about, so he nodded obediently.

Feeling distressed, Qin Muxuan touched Xiaobai’s head. Although Xiaobai knew that she was his mother Qin Muxuan, she was still the actress Qin Xuan to the public. At most people would think she was like an aunt to him and the two of them couldn’t act as closely as a mother and a son would do.

Qin Muxuan thought about the possibility of leaving the entertainment industry. After all, she only entered the entertainment industry in order to get close to Xiaobai. Now that Xiaobai knew that she was his mother, it seemed that it was unnecessary for her to continue to be in the entertainment industry.

However, Qin Muxuan was no longer her younger self. She clearly understood that women must have their own careers and sufficient abilities in order to protect and have what they wanted. Therefore, when she had no other better plans, Qin Muxuan couldn’t act on impulse like that.

Gu Zijin was stunned when he heard what Qin Muxuan said. He did not expect Qin Muxuan to have so many concerns.

Gu Zijin frowned. Qin Muxuan and Xiaobai had both entered the entertainment industry. Although they had his protection and the PR personnel to guide the public opinions and delete negative news, deleting them did not mean they didn’t exist.

When he saw those insults, he was unable to control his anger, how did Qin Muxuan, who was the party involved, feel about them? Gu Zijin couldn’t help but feel a little distressed.

And what about Qin Muxuan’s identity? Should she live as Qin Xuan forever? Then she and Xiaobai would never be able to be mother and son legitimately.

Gu Zijin took a deep look at Qin Muxuan and thought about it in his heart.
