No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Qin Xiaobai rarely cried. However, no matter how Gu Zijin comforted him this time, the kid couldn’t stop weeping. The father had no choice but to hug his son tightly and pat the child’s back.

Hearing Xiaobai’s sob, Gu Zijin barely held back his tears.

Noticing Qin Xiaobai wailed croakily, Elderly Lady Gu felt heartbroken. She walked over to console Qin Xiaobai.

“Don’t be sad, Xiaobai. You still have a mother even if that woman dies.”

As soon as the old lady uttered those words, Gu Zijin glared at her warningly in an instant.

Qin Xiaobai had been about to stop weeping, but he cried wildly after hearing Elderly Lady Gu’s words. The kid roared with red eyes. His nose twitched. “Dabai won’t die! I only have one mommy! That’s Dabai! You’re bad! I don’t need a vicious step-mother!” Qin Xiaobai stared at his great-grandmother in a menacing way, pouting.

The old lady detected a trace of hate in the kid’s eyes. She was upset. “Sorry, Xiaobai. I’m wrong. Please don’t blame me.”

Elderly Lady Gu treasured her great-grandson, fearing that he would hate her because of Qin Muxuan.

Qin Xiaobai didn’t buy it, refusing to speak to the old lady. He buried his head in Gu Zijin’s shoulder, sobbing.

Qin Xiaobai was too young to understand death. However, he knew that a role that died in a play would never show up again when he filmed.

“Dad, Dabai won’t leave us, right?” Qin Xiaobai looked up at Gu Zijin.

The father opened his mouth, but it seemed that words were stuck in his throat. After a while, he answered in a hoarse voice. “Right.”

Hearing that, Qin Xiaobai gradually stopped his tears. He stared at the E. R. unblinkingly, waiting for Qin Muxuan.

Noticing Qin Xiaobai ignored her, Elderly Lady Gu grumbled inwardly. ‘Humph, it will be fine if that woman dies. Look how she teaches Xiaobai!’

Supported by her walking stick, the old lady glared at the E. R. viciously.

“Grandma, let’s go there and have a seat.”

Yan Yuxiao held Elderly Lady Gu’s arm, helping her to slowly sit back into the bench. The old lady didn’t refuse. She followed Yan Yuxiao and rested on the chair.

Focusing on the E. R., Yan Yuxiao wished Qin Muxuan would die. Gu Zijin then would forget that woman sooner or later. As for Qin Xiaobai, she didn’t worry. A five-year-old boy couldn’t change anything.

Time fled. No one knew how long it had taken. The light of the E. R. was finally off.

A doctor in a white coat pushed the door open. He then stepped out.

Gu Zijin took two strides forward, asking with bated breath. “Doc., is she okay? Is the baby all right?” Gu Zijin bombarded the doctor with questions.

“You’re her family, right? Sorry, we’ve done our best.”

Gu Zijin’s eyes widened. His pupils were dilated. He even grabbed the doctor by the collar. “No! It’s impossible! She must be alive! I don’t care what efforts you’ve made. I want her to wake up!”

The doctor got used to such a scene. “Please calm down. The patient had lost lots of blood when she was here. Besides, she was in her sixth month of pregnancy. We lost her.”

“Dad.” It seemed that Qin Xiaobai was taken aback by Gu Zijin’s maniac behavior. The kid made a sound gingerly.

Hearing Qin Xiaobai’s voice, Gu Zijin was himself again. He slowly unclasped his hands. His eyes were lifeless.

“I’m sorry.” The doctor shook his head helplessly.

Gu Zijin stood rooted to the spot with Qin Xiaobai in his arms.

The man watched Qin Muxuan who was covered by a white sheet got wheeled out by nurses. His hands shivered. Gu Zijin dared not to unveil the sheet. He stood there until Qin Muxuan was out of sight. The heartbroken man fixed his eyes on the direction where his loved woman had disappeared.

A drop of tear rolled down from Gu Zijin’s eye.

“Dad?” Qin Xiaobai looked up at the man. ‘Did he cry?’ The kid had never seen his father being so fragile. Not knowing how to comfort the man, Qin Xiaobai put his arms around Gu Zijin’s neck.

‘What did the doctor mean? Did he imply that Dabai wouldn’t come back?’

Qin Xiaobai blinked his big eyes in confusion, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Elderly Lady Gu didn’t expect that. She had risen to her feet, but now collapsed onto the bench. At the same time, she looked old and tired.

“Grandma, I’m sorry to hear that.” Yan Yuxiao consoled the old lady. ‘She must feel bad for losing her great-grandson.’

A trace of guilt crossed Elderly Lady Gu’s heart. ‘Did I kill that woman and my great-grandson…’

‘No! It’s not my fault. I didn’t expect that she couldn’t move on. She committed suicide regardless of her unborn baby.’

After a few seconds, the old lady passed the buck to Qin Muxuan.

Lisa arrived after handling affairs of the company. Elderly Lady Gu and Yan Yuxiao had left. Except Li Cheng who was standing on the side, only Gu Zijin and Qin Xiaobai were there.

Gu Zijin covered his head with his hands, sitting on the chair in depression. Qin Xiaobai sobbed with his head down.

“Mr. Gu, I’m sorry to hear that.” Receiving the news, Lisa peeped at Gu Zijin. She realized that nothing could comfort him.

“Mr. Gu, I’ll make the final arrangements. Work has been done. You should have a rest. I’ll ask the driver to send you home.”

Gu Zijin was glum. ‘He can’t drive.’ Lisa worried.

“Just leave me alone.” Gu Zijin’s feeble voice sounded in the corridor. “Li Cheng, take Xiaobai home.”

“Yes, Young Master.” Nodding, Li Cheng was about to leave with Qin Xiaobai.

The child turned to look back repeatedly at every step, finding his father sat still. In the end, Qin Xiaobai followed Li Cheng without going back, because he knew Gu Zijin suffered.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Lisa had no choice but to return to the company.

Qin Xiaobai stopped out of the blue at the entrance to the hospital. He stared at Li Cheng with tears in his eyes.

“Dabai’s not going back, right?”
