No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Back to the Gu’s house.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Qin Xiaobai who had been playing for the whole day got very sleepy and drooped his head in the car. At last he was carried out of the car by Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan followed them behind.

After Gu Zijin put Qin Xiaobai who was asleep on the bed, he opened the air conditioner and then closed the door. The moment he turned around, he saw that Qin Muxuan didn’t go to take a shower but stood by the door. Then he asked,

“What’s wrong?”

“Gu Zijin, the wound on your back, it really doesn’t matter?”

With light flashing in Gu Zijin’s eyes, he said in a heavy voice,

“The medical box is under the table in the living room. Bring it up here and apply medicine on my back. Then I’ll be fine.”

“OK.”

Qin Muxuan didn’t think too much and went downstairs straightly to fetch the medicine for Gu Zijin. When she reached their room door, she suddenly realized what Gu Zijin had just said. If she applied medicine on his back, she would have to see the naked upper body of him.

Although Gu Zijin was in a good shape… He looked slim in clothes and muscular when he was naked, but it didn’t mean she wanted to see him naked.

She hesitated for a while and then looked to Nanny Chen and said,

“Nanny Chen, Gu Zijin has a bruise on his back. Can you help him apply some medicine on his back?”

Hearing that, Nanny Chen said with an embarrassed look on her face,

“Miss Qin… Young Master Gu has mysophobia. He never likes to be touched by others since his childhood. I’m afraid that I will be kicked out by him. Also, since he asked you to apply medicine for him, what if he gets angry seeing me coming in?”

Qin Muxuan, “…”

As a result, Qin Muxuan had to brace herself and go upstairs to apply medicine for Gu Zijin. During the whole procedure, Qin Muxuan stayed in a very void state without having any intention to glimpse at other parts of Gu Zijin’s body.

The wound on Gu Zijin’s back was not very serious. There was only a light bruise. After Qin Muxuan cleaned the wound and applied medicine on it, his back looked better.

As Gu Zijin put on his clothes, he glanced at Qin Muxuan who behaved herself well. Then he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows,

“Are you afraid of looking at my body?”

‘Is that question coming out from a normal person’s mouth?’ She thought.

Then she, with her lips curled, pretended to be calm by saying,

“No, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”

“Really?”

Gu Zijin approached Qin Muxuan and held Qin Muxuan’s waist in his arms. Qin Muxuan smelled something dangerous right away. Then she pushed Gu Zijin in a hurry, saying,

“Eh… I have been running for the whole day and still have sweats all over my body. I need to take a shower.”

Seeing Qin Muxuan’s panicky look, Gu Zijin accepted her excuse and let go of her immediately. He believed that she would be his sooner or later and waited for the day when Qin Muxuan was willing to be his woman.

In the steamy bathroom.

Qin Muxuan patted on her face. Lately Gu Zijin had gone too far… Her heart had beaten fast for him several times. Qin Muxuan closed her eyes, thinking, ‘I am a mother of a five-year-old kid. Will I be able to fall in love with someone again?’

She had thought that she would never love again five years ago. However, she felt that something was awaken… even out of control.

After she had taken the shower, she found Gu Zijin already not in the room. He perhaps had gone to the study. As she dried her hair, she saw the indicator light of her phone kept flickering. Then she picked up the phone and found three missed calls.

It was an unknown number. Qin Muxuan dialed back curiously, and the line went through,

“Hello?”

“Xuan, it’s me.”

When she heard that magnetic voice, Qin Muxuan’s hand which was holding a towel suddenly went stiff. Then the towel was dropped to the ground.

“Yin Youting… why did you call?”

“Xuan, can we meet each other?”

Qin Muxuan exhaled slightly and agreed to his request. Since she hadn’t given the two of them a closure five years ago, she felt obliged to make everything clear. ‘We are adults now, I should be frank to him…’ She thought. After she had taken down the address that Yin Youting had said, she hung up the phone.

Gu Zijin turned off his laptop after he had dealt with the affairs of his company. As he rubbed his forehead, he reached his coffee as usual. However, the thing that came into his mouth was the fresh Pu’er Tea.

With his eyebrows knitted slightly, he then realized that his coffee had been changed to tea. Then, he got a bit displeased and went downstairs with the cup in his hand. As he ran into Nanny Chen, he asked,

“Nanny Chen, why there is Pu’er Tea in my cup?”

Nanny Chen who was doing the cleaning shivered after hearing Gu Zijin’s cold tone. Then she said reverently,

“Young Master… This is what Miss Qin has ordered. She said that coffee is bad for your stomach and that your stomach is already not very well.”

Then Gu Zijin cooled down right away and said,

“I’ll accept the Pu’er Tea then.”

Nanny Chen, dumbfounded, stared at Gu Zijin and replied humbly,

“Yes, Young Master.”

Gu Zijin said “H’m” and then stopped saying anything.

At the dinner table, the hungry boy Qin Xiaobai ate a lot with his cheeks bulging. Qin Muxuan used a tissue to wipe the oil by his mouth. In the meantime, Gu Zijin poured a cup of warm water for Qin Xiaobai in case the boy would be choked.

With light flashing in Qin Xiaobai’s eyes, he mumbled,

“Dabai, daddy, you will stay with me forever, right?”

“Yes…”

Qin Muxuan answered that with a guilty conscience. Qin Xiaobai’s eyes were filled with joy while Gu Zijin showed a meaningful look without saying anything. Meanwhile, the man already made a decision inwardly.

The next day, Qin Xiaobai went to class and Gu Zijin went to work. Qin Muxuan stayed at home since she had already resigned. Also, Gu Zijin did keep his promise by inviting a tutor for Qin Muxuan.

The tutor was an old professor around forty or fifty. This grey-haired man seemed very strict and serious with his two sharp eyes. Seeing the solemn expression on his face, Qin Muxuan had butterflies in the stomach right away… She had already seen the picture of this professor criticizing her.

This professor called He Cheng was a retired professor from University A. Although he had been retired, he was still devoted to the cause of education and his fame spread far and wide. Gu Zijin who also learned about his reputation then invited him to be Qin Muxuan’s tutor.

After a whole morning’s lecture, Qin Muxuan realized that although she had studied on her own over these years, she was still very unprofessional in many respects. After He Cheng had given Qin Muxuan a few thick design books, he was sent back home by Uncle Chen.

When Gu Zijin came back, he didn’t see Qin Muxuan in the living room. As he got into his bedroom, he saw Qin Muxuan sitting on a chair and doing exercises with a pen against her chin. He also noticed her wrinkled eyebrows, so he asked,

“The exercise is too hard?”

As his magnetic voice came through, Qin Muxuan finally found that Gu Zijin had already entered the room. Then she asked in a daze,

“When did you come back?”

“Just now.”

Gu Zijin had a look at the exercise and then took the pen from Qin Muxuan’s hand. Then he pulled a chair and sat down, saying,

“You can not solve this with conventional thinking. First, you have to start from the left entry point to solve the whole problem. Although the distance from the kitchen to the living room isn’t specified here, you can see clearly that this distance is shorter than the other ones. So you have to start calculating from here.”

Gu Zijin drew a few lines with the pen randomly. After Qin Muxuan had seen his drawing, she was suddenly enlightened. Then with an admiring look in her eyes, she said,

“Gu Zijin, you are amazing.”
