No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

“Ye Han, don’t speak for her. By the way, is Gu Heng all right in the hospital?”

When she heard the name Gu Heng, the smile on Mrs. Gu’s face went away, showing a little grimness:

“The hospital has hired a top medical team for him, and we hope he could wake up and have a look at Xiaobai.”

“That’s fine… That’s fine…”

There was a look of pain on Elderly Lady Gu’s face, and Mrs. Gu instantly comforted her:

“Mom, don’t be so sad. Gu Heng has said all these are his destiny, so don’t think too much.”

In the central hospital.

After half a day’s work, Gu Zijin drove here. All kinds of people walked through the hospital corridor, where the air was full of the smell of disinfectant. Gu Zijin took the elevator to the VIP floor.

In a sickroom, a middle-aged man with lots of nutrient pipes inserted into his body closed his eyes and he looked pale and sick. Outside the room, Gu Zijin stared at him silently, a deep feeling of grief sliding through his eyeground.

The attending doctors had been used to it, because Gu Zijin would come here and stare at the patient in the room without a word for half an hour every Monday.

Lisa was looking for Gu Zijin for the afternoon’s interim talks, but she couldn’t find him in the whole company. After she saw the date, her movements slowed down. The assistant beside asked anxiously:

“Lisa, where’s the president?”

“In the hospital.”

“Ah, is he ill? Why does he go there?”

Lisa remained silent and smiled. Keeping secret is the required conduct of an assistant. Moreover, she was the chief assistant of Gu Zijin. If she was right, as usual, Gu Zijin would come back to the company an hour later, so there was no need to worry.

Qin Muxuan was half-asleep when she heard the ring of her cell phone. She couldn’t help frowning and heard a calm voice, which came from Gu Zijin.

“What happened?”

“Hm, I left a document for the afternoon’s talks at home. Take it to the hospital for me.”

“Hospital?”

“I’ll send you the address.”

Gu Zijin hung up the phone without superfluous words and texted her. Qin Muxuan had to change clothes, take the document Gu Zijin asked for and let the butler take her to the hospital.

The butler Uncle Chen looked a little surprised when he heard the destination, and Qin Muxuan began to be confused:

“Uncle Chen, what’s wrong with the hospital?”

“Nothing… Just because Young Master rarely lets people go to the hospital.”

“Um?”

Qin Muxuan was confused but uncle Chen kept mum, so she could only have her own guess and gave up asking further.

Maybe Gu Zijin’s staff member or himself was injured, Qin Muxuan thought. But judging from Gu Zijin’s voice and his words, he didn’t seem to be sick, so Qin Muxuan didn’t worry much.

The car stopped at the door of the hospital. After thanking Uncle Chen, Qin Muxuan got off and walked into the hospital. Gu Zijin was sitting on a bench in the hospital corridor, with his long, straight legs overlapping. The light sunshine fell on him, sketching a picture of some loneliness.

“President Gu.”

Hearing the voice, Gu Zijin looked up, and his eyes as dark as the night showed a slight difference. Qin Muxuan trotted to Gu Zijin and before she took the document out, Gu Zijin hugged her by the waist.

“…!!!”

“Gu Zijin, so many people are watching us! What are you doing!”

Gu Zijin said in a muffled voice:

“Don’t move. I’m just a little tired.”

“…”

Qin Muxuan embarrassedly looked at the people around and then she rubbed Gu Zijin’s head like coaxing Xiaobai:

“What happened?”

“Um, nothing.”

Wasn’t it nonsense? Qin Muxuan’s watery eyes sank, but she didn’t push him away. Deep inside, she grew a bit more tender.

The man at the top of the ivory tower could also inadvertently reveal his fragile side.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Gu Zijin hugged Qin Muxuan for minutes and then released her, his eyes recovering their normal coolness. Qin Muxuan thought to herself that Gu Zijin must have schizophrenic personality and then she took the document out.

“Read it first and go with me in a moment.”

“But Uncle Chen is waiting for me outside.”

Hearing this, Gu Zijin dialed Uncle Chen.

“Hello.”

“Young Master, is that you?”

“Yes. You can go back.”

Gu Zijin hung up and looked sideways at Qin Muxuan:

“Is this ok?”

Qin Muxuan slightly curled her lips and thought: ‘One man may steal a horse, while another may not look over the hedge’. Things had been done, so by no means could she refuse and take a taxi home.

“Ok.”

Getting on the black Bentley, Gu Zijin looked ahead and drove. Then his thin lips lifted:

“This is the plan of Designer He from Country C. You can have a look and study.”

“Designer He?”

When she heard this name, Qin Muxuan’s eyes sparkled, because Designer He was famous at home and abroad and he had gained a lot of fame these years. Pitifully, she had no chance to visit him. Unexpectedly, now she got the chance to learn from his work.

Qin Muxuan took the plan out with great care. The design was meticulous, and the details such as outline and color were all dealt with perfectly. However, after a further look, Qin Muxuan found something unsuitable. Although it looked perfect, the design of the toilet part obviously applied to Country C, therefore it might not be very effective for clients.

“President Gu.”

“Um?”

“I think the design of toilet should be improved, because the place is difficult to find, and there is a waste of time and energy. It’s three corridors away from the main hall.”

Hearing this, Gu Zijin raised his eyebrows slightly:

“Continue.”

Since Gu Zijin had said that, Qin Muxuan didn’t hesitate to express all her ideas. Though Designer He was famous, he wasn’t God and couldn’t pay attention to all.

After Gu Zijin heard her, his thin lips curled up:

“Well, you can improve it a little after we arrive at company. But I’ll give you only ten minutes.”

“Ok.”

In the afternoon’s talks, seeing the improved plan, clients were a bit surprised and they appreciated it to some extent. It was a wise choice to collaborate with the Gu Group.

There was a very good atmosphere at the talks.

Qin Muxuan was drinking coffee at the Starbucks downstairs and waiting for Gu Zijin. When Gu Zijin came down followed by a group of people, he saw Qin Muxuan drinking coffee. She was taking the spoon and stirring the cream slowly.

Gu Zijin reached out and signaled the people behind him to step back. Then he walked to Qin Muxuan. Seeing Gu Zijin coming, Qin Muxuan smiled:

“Want a cup? My treat.”

Gu Zijin didn’t refuse and folded his hands on the table:

“Yes, a cup of sugar-free latte.”

Soon, Qin Muxuan brought Gu Zijin a cup of latte from the front desk. Gu Zijin took a sip:

“Qin Muxuan, have you learned design before?”

“I’ve learned interior design, but just…”
