No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 17: A Sense of Frustration



Chu Feng had planned to have lunch with Qin Muxuan when she came back. After waiting for a while, he didn’t see her come back, so he had to go to the restaurant alone to have a meal.

In the President’s Office, Qin Muxuan had no appetite even when looking at the delicacies of every kind in front of her. With Gu Zijin sitting opposite and being reticent, she totally lost her appetite.

“Well, President Gu, shall I eat in the restaurant?”

“The dishes don’t suit your taste?” asked Gu Zijin quietly with his cold eyes falling on Qin Muxuan’s face.

“If you don’t like them, I can ask Lisa to change.”

Qin Muxuan curled her lips slightly. Could she say that Gu Zijin spoiled her appetite? But Gu Zijin seemed to see things as clear as a blazing fire and said quietly, “Or you just can’t eat looking at me?”

“Ha ha… It is certainly not the case.”

Qin Muxuan put a hunk of fish into her mouth and lowered her head to eat silently. A hint of sneer was shown in Gu Zijin’s eyes. Outside the office, Lisa couldn’t help but feel thrilled by an idea when she found that Qin Muxuan didn’t seem to come out, and the president asked her to bring in two portions of rice just now. Could it be that the president invited Qin Muxuan to eat lunch together? It was truly once in a blue moon!

Thinking of this, Lisa felt that the world was fantasy.

The person opposite couldn’t help reminding her, “Director, you have been clamping the cabbage for three minutes.”

“Oh, I just switched off, ” answered Lisa when she came to her sense.

Qin Muxuan wanted to leave after eating a bowl of rice. A hint of coldness in Gu Zijin’s eyes perished her thought of leaving. She sat down to wait for Gu Zijin’s order.

“Are you afraid of me?”

“No.”

Gu Zijin looked grim.

“Then why don’t you dare to look into my eyes?”

“President Gu, I’ll go downstairs if there is nothing I can do. After all, I don’t have as much free time as you do. I still have work to do.”

Hearing that, Gu Zijin gave a sneer at the corners of his mouth.

“Okay.”

Qin Muxuan walked out of the President’s Office as if she were granted amnesty. Then she crammed onto the staff elevator and went down.

Gu Zijin was as unpredictable as an old fox, but she knew clearly that Gu Zijin would definitely not fall in love with her.

It might happen that a man hadn’t had any scandals for so many years. But the fact that there wasn’t a “female creature” around him except his assistant gave people the impression that this man had a mental or physical problem.

Of course, Qin Muxuan had already checked the latter accidentally five years ago. Gu Zijin had no problems with his body, so he must have some psychological problem. He might be a gay or someone that had no interest in women.

On the twenty-first floor, Gu Zijin sneezed as soon as he entered the meeting room. He frowned coldly. Was someone scolding him?

Seeing Qin Muxuan come back, Chu Feng couldn’t help but ask anxiously, “Qin Muxuan, what did the president ask you to do there? Why did it take this long?”

“Nothing. It’s just that something went wrong with the project.”

Chu Feng nodded doubtfully and picked up a lunch box by his side.

“Here. You must haven’t had lunch yet. I packed the meal for you.”

Seeing the packed lunch box, Qin Muxuan immediately made an excuse and said that she didn’t feel like eating. God knew how hard she ate just now to play up to Gu Zijin.

After what happened last night, Gu Zijin gave her his phone number. When it was time to get off work, Qin Muxuan sent a message to Gu Zijin, then packed up and was going to go downstairs.

It was drizzling and dark outside. When Qin Muxuan was about to leave, Chu Feng handed her an umbrella.

“No, thanks…”

“It’s alright. I have another one. You just take it.”

Qin Muxuan had to take the umbrella and walked out of the company.

Gu Zijin didn’t work overtime this time, so he was very punctual. Qin Muxuan had just started waiting there, and Gu Ziyu already parked the car in front of her. His cold eyes swept across the light blue umbrella in Qin Muxuan’s hands. He remembered that there was no light blue umbrella at home. Was the umbrella given to her by someone else?

When he thought of bumping into Chu Feng who stood beside Qin Muxuan in the elevator this morning, Gu Zijin’s dark eyes looked a bit odd. Qin Muxuan took the back seat naturally since Qin Xiaobai wasn’t there. She would feel awkward being seated in the front passenger seat since it was too close to Gu Zijin.

Gu Zijin lowered his dark eyes and looked into the distance.

“Throw the umbrella away.”

“Why?”

“I have mysophobia and don’t like you bringing other people’s things into the car.”

It was so irrational and unreasonable. Why didn’t she find that Gu Zijin had such strange mysophobia before?

Of course, Qin Muxuan didn’t do as told to, and Gu Zijin didn’t start the car. They two were deadlocked. Qin Muxuan put a hand on the handlebar.

“President Gu, you go back first. I will take a taxi back home.”

The car suddenly rushed out like a shot arrow. Qin Muxuan was shocked and almost tumbled because of inertia, while Gu Zijin did not decrease the speed, but seemed to accelerate.

“Gu Zijin!”

The car kept rushing to the imperial castle on the top of the mountain in the north of the city, and then stopped. Qin Muxuan already felt her legs limp, and had a stomachache. She held the car door to walk out of the car. Looking at Gu Zijin with a long face, Qin Muxuan gnashed her teeth and straightened her back to walk into the door.

Qin Xiaobai also just came back home. When he saw Qin Muxuan walk into the house weakly, he frowned and went to Gu Zijin with a straight face. He then asked like a young adult, “Daddy, have you bullied mommy? Otherwise, why does mommy look so upset?”

Gu Zijin bent down and hugged Qin Xiaobai into his arms. Finally, he hugged the boy as he wished.

“Daddy didn’t bully mommy. You just go inside and tell her some jokes to make her happy,” said he gently.

“Really?”

Qin Xiaobai wagged his head dubiously, and encircled Gu Zijin’s shoulder with his two chubby little hands. The hug seemed to be different from his mommy’s. His daddy was much taller.

Gu Zijin looked at Qin Xiaobai’s small face that was almost the same as his, and the softness deep inside filled his heart. Mrs. Gu saw Gu Zijin holding Qin Xiaobai to enter the door, and her eyes were full of love. Her son finally got the hang of it and knew how to approach Qin Xiaobai proactively. Otherwise, she really worried that when Qin Xiaobai grew up, he would be more reserved than Gu Zijin.

“Daddy, let me down. I’m going upstairs to find mommy.”

Gu Zijin felt a slight imbalance in his heart.

“Do you really like mommy this much?”

Qin Xiaobai nodded his small head seriously.

“Yes, because mommy is the most important person for me.”

Gu Zijin sighed and had to put the “little bun” in his arms on the ground. As soon as Qin Xiaobai’s feet touched the ground, he ran upstairs happily with his short legs. Watching this, Gu Zijin felt a fit of disappointment.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was understandable that the older one wasn’t fond of him, but the little one didn’t seem to like him very much either.

How come he felt a little frustrated in the realm of love? Thinking of this, Gu Zijin clamped his lips lightly, figuring out how to change his status in the heart of the little boy.
