No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

The next day, Gu Zijin asked if Qin Muxuan and Xiaobai wanted him to drive them to the set. Qin Muxuan rejected using the same reason she used last night: She didn’t want to become the most popular hashtag anymore.

Seeing that Gu Zijin was obviously dissatisfied, Qin Muxuan didn’t say anything. Come on, you’re not a kid. Do you need me to coax you every time you’re unhappy?

Seeing that Qin Muxuan and Jian Xi were leaving, Xiaoxin was reluctant. She grabbed Jian Xi’s leg and cried with tears, “Godmother!”

When they saw Xiaoxin crying so sadly, no one could stand it, especially Jian Xi.

Jian Xi looked at Qin Muxuan tentatively, “Why not bring her with us?”

Qin Muxuan hesitated. She, Xiaobai and Gu Zijin were all leaving, and she also didn’t want Xiaoxin and the Aunty to stay in the villa. However, if she took her to the set, she was afraid that people might talk about it. She wanted her to stay out of the public eye.

Jian Xi continued, “How about this? I’ll take her to the set with you, then I’ll go home with her to get changed. And she’ll be playing at my place. When you’re done, I’ll bring her with me and pick you up.”

Qin Muxuan nodded and agreed.

Today, Yiyi came very early and she already left with Xiaobai. Qin Muxuan didn’t want to to say hello when she saw the indifferent face of Gu Zijin’s. And she left with Jian Xi directly.

Gu Zijin looked at Qin Muxuan’s back from the corner of his eye, feeling even sulkier. She really didn’t plan to say anything nice to him!

Seeing that Gu Zijin looked sulky, the aunt shivered slightly and decided not to get close to him today.

Jian Xi parked the car near the set but not very close to the set. Qin Muxuan didn’t let Xiaoxin get off the car and only said goodbye to her. She was afraid that people would take a photo of her.

As Qin Muxuan and Xiaoxin were talking, Jian Xi’s phone rang.

Qin Muxuan saw Jian Xi staring at the screen for a long time without answering the call. She looked over and saw that the caller was Mu Ming.

Qin Muxuan nudged Jian Xi by her shoulder, “Why are you waiting for? Answer it!”

Jian Xi shivered and answered the call.

The voice on the other end quickly came through, “Jian Xi.”

Jian Xi glared at Qin Muxuan and coughed twice. “What is it?”

“What’s wrong with your voice? Have you caught a cold?” Mu Ming sounded worried.

Hearing that, Jian Xi was touched and her tone softened. “I’m fine. It’s just my throat is a little itchy.”

Mu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then he got a little nervous, “Are you free today? Can we meet? I need to talk with you.”

Jian Xi smiled, “Okay.”

Mu Ming was stunned. He meant to say more to convince her, but she agreed so easily. Why was that?

Jian Xi asked again, “Where will we meet? The old place?”

Mu Ming regained his senses. “Yes, is one o’clock in the afternoon okay?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Jian Xi agreed. Then there was silence between them.

Jian Xi coughed dryly and asked tentatively, “See you then.”

On the other end, Mu Ming said “Mhmm” and Jian Xi hung up.

Qin Muxuan nudged Jian Xi by her shoulder again and teased, “What? You have a date today?”

Jian Xi glared at Qin Muxuan.

Qin Muxuan coughed dryly. “If it alright for Xiaoxin to be there with you?”

Jian Xi didn’t bother to answer Qin Muxuan. She smiled and turned her head to ask Xiaoxin, “Xiaoxin, do you want to play with Brother Mu Ming today?”

Xiaoxin nodded without hesitation. “Yeah!” She was familiar with Mu Ming and she liked him a lot.

Seeing that the car left, Qin Muxuan felt very frustrated.

Qin Muxuan placed the medicine that Jian Xi gave her in a compartment of her bag where it was not easy to find, and then she walked to the set.

Today’s shooting went smoothly as well. Although Qin Muxuan could occasionally hear people talking about her and Gu Zijin, but because Gu Zijin didn’t show up today, their discussions weren’t so heated.

No one dared to talk about it in front of Qin Muxuan, so Qin Muxuan pretended not to hear it.

Jian Xi brought Xiaoxin to her home, turned on the TV so that Xiaoxin could watch cartoons, and then she went to wash her face.

Even though she took a shower at the villa last night, Jian Xi still took another shower and put a mask on her face. She wiped off the mist in the mirror and saw her face covered with the mask. She felt a little speechless. What was she doing? It was not like she was going on a date. So why bother?

Even though she thought so, Jian Xi still put on some makeup very carefully, even more carefully than before.

In the mirror, the woman who had bright eyes and white teeth was radiant. Feeling very satisfied, Jian Xi grinned.

It seemed that all women had a hard time deciding what to wear before they went out. So did Jian Xi. Looking at the cabinet full of clothes, Jian Xi wanted to scream, “I don’t have enough clothes!”

After trying on her clothes for a long time, Jian Xi decided to wear a light blue dress with a flat collar that revealed her fine collarbone, a pure silver collarbone chain necklace, and a pair of light yellow, heeled sandals which made her lower leg look more slender and longer.

And, Jian Xi even sprayed some perfume, which was unprecedented for her. The perfume smelt of fruits, sweet and fresh, unlike those that she’d used before.

Xiaoxin stared at Jian Xi, who came out of the room, freshened up and dressed up. She couldn’t believe that she was her Godmother.

Jian Xi smiled and rubbed Xiaoxin’s head. She said, “What? You’re stunned? Are you shocked by my beauty?”

Xiaoxin nodded her head like a robot. “Godmother, you look like a Barbie doll. Are you a magician?”

Hearing Xiaoxin’s earnest words, Jian Xi’s vanity was greatly satisfied.

Jian Xi pinched Xiaoxin’s fair and tender cheek, “I’m telling you a secret. I can transform. Next time, I will transform for you, okay?”

Jian Xi was just trying to fool Xiaoxin, but Xiaoxin, as a kid, totally bought it. She nodded excitedly, “Okay!”

Then Jian Xi had lunch with Xiaoxin. After the meal, it was almost time to leave, so she came to the place where they were gonna meet.

The place where Jian Xi and Mu Ming agreed to meet was a cafe not far from Jian Xi’s home.

The façade of the cafe was transparent glass, through which Jian Xi saw Mu Ming, who had already arrived, sitting in the middle with a cup of coffee and a strawberry cake on the table.

Mu Ming looked a bit absent-minded. He was holding his phone in his hand, but his eyes were empty.

Jian Xi smiled because her favorite dessert were strawberry cakes.

Xiaoxin hadn’t seen Mu Ming, and when she saw Jian Xi standing on the spot, she also stopped.

Xiaoxin looked at Jian Xi’s expression wonderingly and pulled the corner of her shirt. But Jian Xi didn’t notice it.

Following Jian Xi’s gaze, Xiaoxin also noticed Mu Ming, and then she cheerfully cried, “Uncle Mu Ming!”

Mu Ming heard the voice and turned his head only to see Jian Xi looking at him.
