No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 205: Stepmother’s Getting Worse



Gu Zijin stroked her hair, resting beside her, “You’re too kind sometimes.”

“I don’t know why I help her. I might think of what I went through. At that time, I had a rough patch.”

“I’ll figure it out. Don’t worry.”

Gu Zijin pecked her on the forehead. Qin Muxuan huddled in his arms meekly, feeling sweet in her heart.

It seemed that she finally got rid of what weighed on her mind.

“Have a good rest. I’ll go to the company and check it.”

After finishing his words, he left hastily.

Qin Muxuan sprawled on the bed, ‘I won’t be pregnant anymore! Last night, I felt terrible.’

Not knowing when Gu Zijin would be back, Qin Muxuan fell asleep. When she woke up, she had slept for a whole day. People said a gravida would feel a little sleepy. However, she was as torpid as a bear during hibernation!

“Are you still dozy?”

Qin Muxuan struggled to open her eyes. Nobody could imagine how hard she tried.

“Muxuan, I’ve investigated Qin Xue.”

“What?” Qin Muxuan still felt fuzzy. After getting her thoughts together, she nodded, “How is she?”

“You gave her the contact details of the Clear Delusion Bar, so she went there. A talent scout discovered her. Now, she must be in that company.”

“Well.”

Qin Muxuan said softly, “That’s fine. Sun Lianzhi can be treated well with money.”

“Yep. I heard that she spares no efforts. She’s getting what she wants.”

“After all, she’s my stepmother’s daughter. What her mother did has been weighing on my mind these years. I can’t just forget about it.”

Leading Qin Muxuan to the living room, Gu Zijin gave her a bowl of hot porridge, “It’s good to have this for breakfast.”

“Thank you. Did you make this?” Qin Muxuan took a mouthful of the porridge, “Mmm, you’ve made great progress in cooking!”

“After we get married, I’d like to change Qin Xiaobai’s surname. I want him to be the heir of the Gu Group. What’s your opinion?”

His sudden words astonished Qin Muxuan. She didn’t need Xiaobai to be rich and powerful. What she wanted was that he could grow up joyfully and healthily.

That was enough for her.

“Of course.” Gu Zijin noticed her worry. “It’s up to him. I won’t force him.”

“Okay, you’re the boss. I know you won’t make Xiaobai moody.”

Although Qin Muxuan didn’t ask Xiaobai, she believed Gu Zijin. The man was so thoughtful that he wouldn’t let things go wrong.

“Let’s go to the hospital later.”

“What? Hospital?”

Qin Muxuan dropped the spoon. She didn’t understand why he suddenly proposed that.

“Why?”

“You still think about Sun Lianzhi.” Gu Zijin had already read her mind.

Qin Muxuan scratched her head with an awkward look, ‘He notices that so quickly. I thought I could hide it from him.’

“How do you know that?”

“I know everything about you.”

That was true. They had been living together for a long time. Qin Muxuan discovered that Gu Zijin could see through her every time.

“Good girl, go to the hospital later.”

“Okay!”

After finishing the porridge, she followed Gu Zijin to the hospital mentioned by Qin Xue.

They met Sun Lianzhi who lay on the bed haggardly and Qin Xue.

“Muxuan, why do you come here with your husband?”

A smile lifted the corner of Gu Zijin’s mouth. It seemed that he was delighted to hear the word “husband”.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mmm, we stop by. How is she?”

Qin Muxuan asked. However, she could tell that Sun Lianzhi was in a serious condition from the grayish yellow face.

“The same as before. She’s still in a coma. When she’s conscious, she has less energy. I…”

Qin Xue said that with tears welling up.

“Muxuan, I can’t hold on without your help…”

She trotted over, holding Qin Muxuan’s hands sincerely.

Noticing Qin Xue’s movement, Qin Muxuan smiled in embarrassment and withdrew her hands.

“Your life’s easier now. A talent scout discovered you when you were singing in a bar.”

Qin Xue’s smile froze on her face, “Are you spying on me all the time?”

Qin Muxuan was speechless, ‘Why does she always have a sharp eye for such details?’

“Don’t get her wrong.” Gu Zijin chimed in, “The company that you signed a contract with belongs to the Gu Group. I know their every move. You’re Muxuan’s acquaintance, so I asked them.”

Qin Xue’s suspicion faded. She felt embarrassed.

“I see. Sorry for misunderstanding you.”

Qin Muxuan raised her chin with a smirk, “It’s okay. I hope your mom would get better.”

‘Because I have something to ask her.’ Thought Qin Muxuan.

In fact, Qin Muxuan’s grudge trailed off a lot after she saw Sun Lianzhi was gaunt on the bed. She felt empty inside.

‘Should I feel sorry for her miserable ending, or thank for the price she has to pay?’

‘It doesn’t matter now. No matter whether I care about those things or not, I hope I could figure them out. I don’t like to regret in the future.’

At present, Sun Lianzhi was unconscious. Qin Muxuan had finished her words. She didn’t have to stay here for a chitchat because of her poor relationship with Sun Lianzhi. It was inhuman to rejoice at Sun Lianzhi’s agony.

“Let’s go.”

Hence, Qin Muxuan whispered. Rising to her feet, she was about to leave.

“Whoa, not so fast. Muxuan, I need a private talk.”

Qin Xue took Qin Muxuan by the sleeves.

Qin Muxuan was uncomfortable. She refused with a smile.

“I just come here to visit your mom today. You can save your words until she wakes up. We’ve gotten something to do. It’s time to go.”

“Please, I beg you.”

‘Since Qin Muxuan comes here, she must have believed my words. I should catch the opportunity to persuade her.’ Qin Xue looked at Qin Muxuan entreatingly.

“I’m so cheerful that you can come here. We’re all from the Qin family…”

Before finishing her sentence, Qin Xue noticed that Qin Muxuan’s countenance changed.

“We’re all from the Qin family, so we should be in close contact with each other.”

Qin Xue looked earnest, so Qin Muxuan’s misgivings dissipated. Not knowing her stepsister had an ulterior motive, Qin Muxuan replied.

“Okay, we will be in close contact with each other.”

Last time, Qin Muxuan felt depressed after hearing Qin Xue’s words, which almost influenced her relationship with Gu Zijin. Therefore, she instinctively tried to avoid talking more with Qin Xue.

“Wait!”

Qin Xue didn’t give up. She caught up with her stepsister. Qin Muxuan turned around, finding Qin Xue was rummaging in a bag. After a short while, Qin Xue took out a stack of cash.

“You are the reason that my mom can continue her therapy. I’ve earned some money these days. Thank you for your help, but please take back the cash.”
