No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Yan Yuxiao was terrified by the look on Gu Zijin’s face and moved away subconsciously. Seeing that, Gu Zijin pushed her away directly and rushed in the direction where Qin Muxuan had left.

However, he couldn’t find Qin Muxuan anywhere. Then he started to search for her aimlessly, but still saw no sign of her.

In the meantime, Qin Muxuan was sitting on the sofa in the lounge with a medicine bottle in her hand. After she took out a pill, she put it in her mouth and swallowed the medicine down.

After a short moment, Qin Muxuan felt the uncomfortable feeling gradually disappearing. The medicine had been prescribed by Jiang Xin, with the effect of reducing Qin Muxuan’s sudden symptoms.

“Are you all right?” Jian Xi looked to Qin Muxuan with a worried look.

Qin Muxuan shook her head and smiled to Jian Xi. “Don’t worry. I’m fine.” Compared to the last few times when she had fallen ill, she was doing great this time.

Jian Xi also let out a sigh of relief secretly seeing that Qin Muxuan wasn’t greatly affected. “It looks like this new type of medicine Doctor Jiang has given to you is quite effective.” Jian Xi had been worried that Qin Muxuan would get sick if she ran into Gu Zijin in this country. Now it seemed that her concern was unnecessary.

“By the way, what has happened to you and Gu Zijin?” Jian Xi suddenly remembered what had happened just now. She had only seen Gu Zijin stop Qin Muxuan from leaving but didn’t know about the details.

Hearing that question, Qin Muxuan told Jian Xi the whole incident slowly.

As Jian Xi heard that Gu Zijin had recognized Qin Muxuan’s face with a single glance, she couldn’t help frowning. Jian Xi had seen Qin Muxuan’s photo from three years ago. Qin Muxuan now looked maturer and was dressed in a completely different style compared to three years ago.

Also, after three years of living abroad, Qin Muxuan had already changed the way she talked and some of her habits. In Jian Xi’s view, the only thing Qin Muxuan hadn’t changed was her face.

“President Gu seems unable to forget about you.” Jian Xi shook her head and looked at Qin Muxuan.

“That’s impossible. He probably has chased me only because he was shocked.” However, these words Qin Muxuan said couldn’t even convince herself. If Gu Zijin truly had forgotten about Qin Muxuan, he wouldn’t have hugged her.

As Qin Muxuan thought of what had happened at the door of the restroom, she felt her heart beating faster. She tried her best to restrain that strange feeling and said to Jian Xi, “Anyway, I won’t admit that I am Qin Muxuan no matter what he says.” That thing had happened a long time ago, and it was impossible for Gu Zijin to figure out the truth. That was also why Qin Muxuan dared to deny her identity openly.

Jian Xi sighed to Qin Muxuan. “I hope that he could give up on you soon.” Though Jian Xi had said that, she also knew that Gu Zijin wouldn’t let go of Qin Muxuan so easily judging from the look he had.

Qin Muxuan nodded and cooled herself down. Then she said to Jian Xi, “Let’s go out.”

On the other side, at the corner of the hall, Gu Zijin drank up the wine in his glass with his eyes fixed on the center of the crowd, afraid that he would not notice it when Qin Muxuan was passing.

After a long while, a man sat beside Gu Zijin with a glass of wine in his hand. “President Gu, you have already seen her, haven’t you?” Leng Aotian said to Gu Zijin slowly with a smile on his face.

Gu Zijin had no intention to speak with Leng Aotian and only took another sip of the wine.

Leng Aotian wasn’t mad for being snubbed by Gu Zijin. “Qin Xuan does look exactly like Qin Muxuan. If it’s not because their characters are so different, I’ll mix them up too.”

“What do you want?”

“Don’t get nervous, President Gu, I’m just a bit curious about this Qin Xuan.” Leng Aotian stared right into Gu Zijin’s eyes and showed a meaningful look.

Hearing Leng Aotian saying that, Gu Zijin showed a cold look in his eyes immediately, “You’d better leave her alone.”

Those words would work on anyone else but Leng Aotian. He only lacked experience when compared to Gu Zijin because he had taken over his company two years later than the latter. Besides that, Leng Aotian was more than a match for Gu Zijin. For that reason, Leng Aotian was actually the strongest opponent to Gu Zijin in the business circle.

“This is my own business and is none of your concern, President Gu. You should think more about the bid this time.” Leng Aotian showed a sarcastic look in his eyes and said that smilingly.

Leng Aotian was very confident about the bid this time. Although Gu Zijin had made an offer, the investor seemed more interested in the Leng Group.

After Gu Zijin heard those words, he suddenly clenched his hands. He truly was not sure that he would succeed in the bidding this time. Although failing to win the bid wouldn’t influence the Gu Group, it would be completely different if the bid went to Leng Aotian.

As Gu Zijin thought of that, there was a stern look appearing on his face.

Seeing that, Leng Aotian planned not to stay here with Gu Zijin anymore and then walked into the crowd. As he stepped on the dance floor, he saw Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi standing from a short distance. With a smile flashing on his face, he walked toward Qin Muxuan at once.

“Qin Xuan, hello. May I invite you for a dance?” Leng Aotian put the glass down and reached out his hand to Qin Muxuan.

Qin Muxuan had wanted to reject the man in front of her. However, as she remembered what her identity was all of a sudden, she chuckled to Leng Aotian, “Of course.”

Saying that, she put her hand onto Leng Aotian’s palm.

With a glimmer of smile in his eyes, he slowly took Qin Muxuan to the dance floor.

Jian Xi then found a place to sit and waited for Qin Muxuan.

On the dance floor, Leng Aotian held Qin Muxuan’s hand while putting the other hand around her waist. Qin Muxuan also put her hand on his shoulder and started to dance to the music.

“I don’t know your name, Sir.” Qin Muxuan looked to Leng Aotian and smiled.

“Leng Aotian. You can call me Aotian if you don’t mind.” Leng Aotian did not in the slightest hide his feelings toward Qin Muxuan. Actually, as he saw Qin Muxuan for the first time, he was attracted to her.

Qin Muxuan got dazed after hearing that. “Mr. Leng, you really like to joke.” Qin Muxuan refused him politely.

The people who came to this party were all from the upper class. Nevertheless, Qin Muxuan had no intention to make close contact with them considering her current identity. If she gave her real identity away and Gu Zijin knew about that, things would be difficult for her.

Leng Aotian chuckled after being rejected. “I’m always like this. Miss Qin, please don’t take it personally.”

“It’s no big deal. It’s fine.”

After the dance, Qin Muxuan went back to find Jian Xi. Meanwhile, Leng Aotian followed Qin Muxuan back.

Gu Zijin had been watching Qin Muxuan and Leng Aotian dancing from a short distance the whole time. After that, he bottled up his anger and walked out of the hall.

He called Lisa.

“President Gu, is the party over? Do you need me to pick you up?” Lisa was dealing with the paper at hand. As she received Gu Zijin’s call, she asked that at once.

“No, it isn’t. Go check where Qin Muxuan was three years ago and what she has been doing for the past three years.”‘

“Yes, sir.” Lisa felt a bit strange. Her president seemed to be very interested in Qin Xuan. Though Lisa didn’t understand why, she still didn’t ask anything about it.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zijin didn’t return to the party right away but stood at the outside for a while, recollecting Qin Muxuan’s attitude toward him when they had met each other just now.

Thinking of that, Gu Zijin couldn’t help louring. He admitted that he had been a bit impulsive and should have made a thorough investigation before he asked Qin Muxuan those questions.

Although this Qin Xuan gave him a very strange feeling, he still felt that this woman was Qin Muxuan. With the thought of that, he couldn’t help but wonder what had happened three years ago…Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

An obscure look flashed in his eyes. He found something very strange in this.

Gu Zijin didn’t know how long he had stood at the outside. When he had come back, the party was about to be over.

Qin Muxuan was chatting with Leng Aotian right now. As she glimpsed at the door, she happened to look right into the eyes of Gu Zijin who had just walked in.

That startled Qin Muxuan a bit. Then the next second, she averted her eyes.

“I can show you around this city if you give me this chance.”

“Thanks a lot, Mr. Leng. As a new comer, I am very unfamiliar with this city. I would even get lost sometimes.” Qin Muxuan gave a bashful smile while saying that.

Hearing their conversation, Jian Xi couldn’t help thinking, ‘I finally know where Qin Xiaobai get his great acting skills from.’ She had never realized how real Qin Muxuan’s words would sound.

“Xuan, it’s about time. We should go back. Tomorrow you’ll have to prepare for the shooting.” Seeing that time was nearly up, Jian Xi walked over and said to Qin Muxuan.

Qin Muxuan nodded. Thanks to Yin Youting, she could act in the same film with Qin Xiaobai as a guest performer. As she thought that she could meet Qin Xiaobai tomorrow, she couldn’t help getting excited.
