No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 33: The Press Conference



Mrs. Gu had cooked everything on the table, so Qin Muxuan ate more than usual. Mrs. Gu couldn’t help saying smilingly,

“It’s Nanny Chen that always cooks for us, I was afraid that you wouldn’t like the taste of the things I cooked.”

“No way. Grandma, the dishes you cooked are so delicious.”

Qin Xiaobai mumbled with his mouth filled with rice. As Mrs. Gu heard that, her face was lit up with pleasure.

Qin Muxuan took a glance at Gu Zijin. This man always put on a same cold look no matter what he ate. No wonder Mrs. Gu would be so pleased to hear Xiaobai’s compliments.

Elderly Lady Gu and Nanny Chen still hadn’t come back after dinner time. Mrs. Gu made a phone call and learned that Elderly Lady Gu would stay in the hospital for real. Then Mrs. Gu could only tell Nanny Chen to take good care of the old lady.

Qin Muxuan went to sleep early after she had gone back to her room. As Gu Zijin stared at her sleeping face, the cold and indifferent look in his eyes finally softened.

The next day.

After Gu Zijin had changed into a black high-end suit, he looked quite domineering with his tall figure. His clean-cut appearance was so delicate as if God had shown great preference to this man. Although Qin Muxuan was strong enough to resist the temptation of the man’s handsome face, she was still amazed by him.

“There’s only half an hour left.”

A deep voice came. Qin Muxuan looked away at once and stood up to get changed and wash her face. Gu Zijin watched Qin Muxuan’s flustered movements while showing a slight smile.

When they arrived at the Gu Group, they found that what happened yesterday created quite a stir in the company.

Chu Feng was waiting for her in the office deliberately instead of going to the construction site. Qin Muxuan was a bit surprised to see him, saying,

“Chu Feng, don’t you need to supervise the work on the construction site?”

“Qin Muxuan… eh, how are you right now?”

“Why do you ask that?”

Qin Muxuan put down her purse with a confused look in her eyes. Chu Feng was lost for words and his palms already started to sweat. Yesterday after he saw the news of Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao going to the hospital together, he failed to sleep the whole night, fearing that Qin Muxuan would feel sad when seeing that news…

After all, he had seen Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan walk into the elevator holding their hands that day.

“Nothing, it’s nothing. Let me buy you breakfast.”

“No thanks. I’ve already eaten.”

Mu Mu carried a pile of documents into the office. When she saw Qin Muxuan, she said right away,

“Muxuan, have you heard the hottest news in the company now? Our president is going to call a press conference today! The last time he called a press conference was when he was about to take over the Gu Group.”

Qin Muxuan got dazed hearing that. She never heard Gu Zijin say anything about that. In the meantime, Mu Mu already approached her and said,

“Lots of people said that our president is going to announce his relationship with Miss Yan.”‘

Chu Feng frowned and interrupted,

“Mu Mu, stop.”

Mu Mu got dazed and said wonderingly,

“Why?”

Chu Feng didn’t reply anything and only dragged Mu Mu out of the office. Qin Muxuan, lips compressed tightly, felt Chu Feng being quite weird today. ‘Does he know something? Or else why did he ask me that question…’

“Why did you drag me out? I haven’t finished telling her this breaking news. Now our company is already packed with all the media.”

“Anyway, just don’t tell Qin Muxuan the things about our president and Miss Yan.”

“Why?”

Mu Mu, with a frown, asked that. Suddenly something flashed into her mind, and she said,

“Does Qin Muxuan have a thing for our president?”

“…”

Chu Feng remained silent. He didn’t want to say yes to that question. However, Mu Mu nodded as if she had already got her answer, which made Chu Feng even more speechless.

In the meantime.

Under the spotlight, Gu Zijin stood on the stage and answered the reporters’ questions fluently, with those cold and deep eyes still looking forbidding,

“In a word, I have nothing to do with Yan Yuxiao. I hope the news which claimed that we were couples could be clarified now.”

The reporters competed to ask the first question,

“President Gu, can you explain why you have shown up in the studio right at that moment?”‘

“President Gu, you are the one that has taken her to hospital. How’s it possible that the two of you don’t know each other?”

“I heard that Yan Yuxiao is the granddaughter of Elderly Lady Gu’s old friend. President Gu, are you and Miss Yan childhood sweethearts to each other?”

As the reporters kept asking questions, Gu Zijin couldn’t help but knit his eyebrows. A few reporters got a bit scared seeing his sullen face. Then he said in an indifferent voice,

“She is the granddaughter of one of my grandma’s old friends. I only took her to hospital because of the call of my conscience. Any irrelevant person would do the same thing too.”

For the moment, all the reporters were not able to retort him. It was true that anyone would save an actor who got injured because of the hanging wire.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

In the Central Hospital.

Elderly Lady Gu watched the news on TV with her face turning green in anger. Yan Yuxiao stammered,

“Grandma, don’t be angry. Miss Qin must be angry, so Zijin has hastened to clarify everything. I thought you know about this. Last time when I was in Gu’s house, I found Zijin a bit fond of Miss Qin.”

Elderly Lady Gu snorted,

“A toad lusting for a swan’s flesh! From where she got that nerve?!”

Qin Muxuan had been staying in the office to work the whole time regardless of the heated discussion outside. When she looked at the time, she assumed that Gu Zijin must have already admitted his relationship with Yan Yuxiao by now. Qin Muxuan found that Elderly Lady Gu liked Yan Yuxiao long ago. So in Qin Muxuan’s view, it would only be a matter of time before Yan Yuxiao became the wife of Gu Zijin.

While she was pondering that, Mu Mu pushed the door open and said with an admiring look in her eyes,

“Muxuan, Muxuan, how did you do that? Our president has just clarified the rumors between him and Yan Yuxiao. Has he done that for you?”

“For me?”

“Yeah, Chu Feng told me that you and our president are a couple.”

Qin Muxuan shivered. She remembered what happened on the other morning. That was the only time she and Gu Zijin had come upstairs together while Gu Zijin held her hand. Chu Feng was late on that day too, so perhaps he misunderstood something after seeing that?

“Mu Mu, that’s not truth. Chu Feng might have some understandings about me and President Gu. I happened to run into President Gu on that day. When I was about to fall down, President Gu tried to support me. Chu Feng might take that as us holding hands together.”

Mu Mu found the look on Qin Muxuan’s face quite sincere. Then she bit her lips and said,

“Muxuan, sorry that I came here to say those things before I got everything clear.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Qin Muxuan got relieved after seeing that Mu Mu wasn’t suspicious anymore. If her relationship with Gu Zijin was exposed, she didn’t know what Gu Family would do to her. More importantly, Qin Xiaobai would also be exposed. Then everyone would know that this boy was born because of an accident five years ago.

Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan was super terrified. Then she decided to make it clear with Chu Feng sometime.

At lunch time, Qin Muxuan left the company.

In the President’s Office on the twenty-first floor.

Gu Zijin felt a dull pain in his stomach after he had read half of the documents. Then he looked at the time and found that it was already eleven o’clock.
