No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

After playing with the two for a while, Qin Muxuan went back to her room and was about to call Jian Xi and asked for leave. Fortunately, her phone was brought back by Gu Zijin, but it’d been dead since yesterday.

Qin Muxuan charged her phone and the moment Qin Muxuan turned it on, a bunch of WeChat messages popped out. There were more than 100 missed calls, which startled Qin Muxuan.

Qin Muxuan looked at the missed calls. Almost all of them belonged to Jian Xi and Yin Youting. She quickly called Jian Xi back.

After the phone was picked up at the other end, a series of questions came through. “Xiao Xuan, where did you go? Why didn’t you pick up your phone yesterday? Do you know how many times I called you yesterday? Do you know how worried I am? What on earth had happened?”

When Qin Muxuan heard Jian Xi’s anxious tone, she felt a little guilty. She should’ve told her yesterday, but it was already midnight when she woke up and she was too exhausted to even think about it.

“Jian Xi, I’m sorry. Something happened yesterday. And it was very late when it was all settled.”

Jian Xi was a little angry, but when she heard how guilty Qin Muxuan sounded, she didn’t want to delve into it anymore, so she went on asking, “Tell me, what on earth happened yesterday?”

Qin Muxuan told Jian Xi what happened yesterday, omitting the part that she was drugged.

Jian Xi was shocked and started to shout abuse. “Yan Yuxiao is a lunatic, a psychopath. She wants to die and she also doesn’t want others to live. What a crazy woman! Xiao Xuan, are you alright? Where’s Xiaoxin? Where are you now?”

Qin Muxuan smiled and consoled her, “Both Xiaoxin and I are fine. We are now at the Rose Princess villa.”

“Rose Princess Villa?” Jian Xi asked suspiciously.

“It’s where I lived four years ago. Xiaobai is here too, and Xiaobai knows who I am,” Qin Muxuan explained.

Jian Xi was silent for a moment and continued, “Are you living with Gu Zijin now?”

Qin Muxuan was speechless and didn’t say anything.

When there was no response from the other end, Jian Xi sighed helplessly. “Xiao Xuan, you do whatever you think suits you. After all, you already have two children together.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Qin Muxuan let out a low “Mhmm.”

Jian Xi continued, “Xiao Xuan, actually, I can tell that you still have feelings for Gu Zijin. Also, from what I observed, Gu Zijin is nothing like he was four years ago. At least I can feel that he really cares about you.”

When she heard her good friend said her thoughts out loud, Qin Muxuan wasn’t embarrassed. She knew how deep her feelings for Gu Zijin were four years ago.

But what about Gu Zijin? Does he really care about me? Maybe he cares, but in the face of her conflict with the Gu Family, what choice will he make?

Qin Muxuan went silence again, so Jian Xi said no more. When it came to something like this, only those who were involved could find the way out. What others said wouldn’t matter.

“Alright, stay at home and rest well during this period of time. I’ll help you take a leave. Also, quickly call Yin Youting. He must be more worried than me. He’d been looking for you all night last night!”

Qin Muxuan agreed, hung up the phone, and called Yin Youting.

“Xiao Xuan, are you alright?” The man on the other end sounded very anxious.

“You Ting, I’m fine. I’m sorry to have made you worried.”

When he heard Qin Muxuan’s voice, Yin Youting finally let out a sigh of relief, but he also felt the politeness and alienation in her tone. Yin Youting laughed bitterly, “Xiao Xuan, you don’t need to be so polite.”

Qin Muxuan was a little embarrassed. She had just rejected Yin Youting’s proposal a while ago, and then there was a scandal between them. What was worse was that Yin Youting even admitted it.

Not willing to make it too hard for Qin Muxuan, Yin Youting changed the topic. “Xiao Xuan, where are you now?”

Qin Muxuan hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell him the truth. “Xiaoxin and I are in the Princess Rose villa.”

Although when he was trying to find Qin Muxuan yesterday, he’d heard that Qin Muxuan might be with Gu Zijin, Yin Youting still felt bitter when he heard that she had gone back to the house where she’d lived four years ago.

“Are you with Gu Zijin?” Yin Youting still had one last glimmer of hope.

Since she couldn’t accept Yin Youting, she might as well let him give up completely, so Qin Muxuan let out a soft “Mhmm.”

Yin Youting was silent for a moment before saying in a bitter tone, “Alright, I get it. Xiao Xuan. If you need anything, come to me anytime.” And then he hung up the phone.

Having been hung up, Qin Muxuan was stunned. As far as she remembered, this was the first time Yin Youting hung up on her. It seemed that he was really disappointed in her this time.

On the shooting set, although the director was reluctant to accept it when Jian Xi helped Qin Muxuan ask for leave, when he thought about rumors about her and Gu Zijin and Yin Youting, he didn’t say anything. He just pretended to care and said “tell Qin Muxuan to have a good rest” before hanging up.

Not long after, the director got another call from Lisa to ask for leave for Xiaobai. The director frowned. The two leading roles had both asked for leave, so how were they going to shoot this scene?

Sensing the director’s reluctance, Lisa took the initiative to ask, “Director, are you in a difficult position? We can discuss it.”

The director hesitated and said, “It’s not a big deal. Qin Xuan has also asked for leave recently. If Xiaobai can’t come during this period of time, neither of the two main roles are here, so we have the scenes set for nothing. But it’s fine. We can shoot other people’s scenes first.

Lisa knew what the Director really meant and she smiled, “Director, I know that once a scene is set, it’ll cost money. So during the time when Miss Qin and Xiaobai asked for leave, all the losses caused will be covered by the Gu Group. Don’t worry.”

When he heard what Lisa said, the director couldn’t say anything else but to say yes.

After hanging up the phone, the director started to think. Both of them asked for leave at the same time, so it was impossible for people not to overthink it. Could it be that the rumors online were true, only that the man was not Yin Youting, but Gu Zijin?

No matter who he was, the director felt that he couldn’t afford to offend neither of them, so he decided to be more polite to Qin Muxuan in the future.
