No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 186: Pressure from the Gu Family



Hurrying out, Gu Zijin drove back to the Rose Princess. He tiptoed quietly to Qin Muxuan’s bed, finding she was sweating heavily.

“Zijin, Zijin… Help me…”

She didn’t sleep soundly, calling for help in a swamp as if she was drowning.

“I’m here.”

Clenching her hands, Gu Zijin lowered his head and planted a kiss on her lips softly. “Don’t worry. I won’t leave. I will protect you for the rest of my life.”

Qin Muxuan stopped frowning as if she heard his words. Her body gradually stopped shaking.

In her dreams, she floundered about in the marsh until someone dragged her out. He kept telling her that he was by her side.

Hence, she slept soundly for the rest of the evening.

When she woke up, Gu Zijin was lying near her. She struggled from his arms.

“Hey, don’t you go to work?”

Gu Zijin yanked her into his arms, “Shh, Xiaobai’s sleeping. Lie down and take a snooze.”

Qin Muxuan was held tightly. She couldn’t move an inch, so she gave up.

“Did you whisper in my ear yesterday?”

“I don’t know.” Gu Zijin was sleepy.

“You don’t know? Then who else can…”

Before Qin Muxuan finished her sentence, Gu Zijin kissed her aggressively. It took him a few minutes before he let go of her.

“I said shh. If you keep nagging next time, I will kiss you again.”

Qin Muxuan went mute.

‘I don’t want this!’C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“If it wasn’t me, who else could talk to you in bed? Huh?”

She had to say that when she heard Gu Zijin’s rising pitch, she shivered.

“Take a snooze. You had a nightmare, and didn’t sleep well.”

In effect, she slept soundly after hearing his words, which was adequate for her.

“Go to work.”

Qin Muxuan nudged him.

Gu Zijin sighed. He had no choice but to get up. When he stopped by Xiaobai’s room, he found Xiaobai was still asleep.

Before he left, he warned Qin Muxuan over and over again, “Remember to call me if something happens. Today… Keep an eye on Weibo.”

‘What?’

‘Why did he say that out of the blue?’

At ten o’clock in the morning, the official account of the Gu Group made an announcement.

“The elders joked about the marriage between the Gu family and the Yan family. I, Gu Zijin, have no intention to be engaged. I was occupied by work and ignored the rumor. However, my behavior hurt someone, so I decided to make it clear. Yan Yuxiao’s grandmother is the friend of my grandmother. We aren’t dating.”

Reading this statement, Qin Muxuan felt that her fingers were quivering.

Gu Zijin acted soon. He promised that he would handle the problem, and he made it.

She covered her mouth with her hands. Her eyes were red.

‘Gu Zijin’s protecting me cautiously. He’s always by my side.’

Qin Xiaobai walked out of his room after getting up. Noticing his mother’s tears, he rushed over immediately, “Dabai, what’s wrong? Did daddy pick on you?”

Qin Muxuan shook her head in haste. “No.”

Frowning, Qin Xiaobai guessed, “Dabai cries because she uses the phone. What’s happening?”

When he clicked the top trending search, his eyes opened wide.

# Gu Zijin from the Gu Group Denied His Marriage with Yan Yuxiao#

He saw the statement after clicking the link. With a smile, he said, “He’s a man! Well done. That’s my father!”

“Don’t cry, Dabai. You can cry out loud when dad comes back!”

Dabbing her eyes, Qin Muxuan turned to Qin Xiaobai helplessly, “Boy, don’t make fun of me!”

Yan Yuxiao smashed ornaments in her room, ‘I didn’t expect that Gu Zijin would act so soon. Does he really want to get rid of me?’

Glancing at the mess, Xiaohuan walked over hesitantly. She said in a low voice, “There are lots of reporters outside. They come here for an interview.”

“Interview? They only take me for a joke! To enjoy my ridiculous play and watch me run away helter-skelter.”

“Your manager just called. She said you can avoid this temporarily if you mention that something goes wrong with your relationship…” Xiaohuan’s voice trailed off under the gaze of Yan Yuxiao.

“Something… Hah, there’s nothing between us. Gu Zijin never has feelings for me!”

Xiaohuan was upset, “Reporters are waiting for you outside, so…”

“Dumbass! Can’t you just send them away? It’s easy! Just do it, otherwise I will fire you!”

Xiaohuan was wronged, ‘It’s not my fault. Why do you vent your anger on me?’

Yan Yuxiao tilted her head. A person popped up in her mind. ‘I should go there and have a talk.’

Therefore, she put on makeup, holding back all her emotions. Then she hailed a cab to the Gu’s house from the back door.

Elderly Lady Gu’s heart stung when she noticed that Yan Yuxiao was haggard.

“Yuxiao, it’s my fault. I have spoiled my grandson!”

“No, grandma. It’s just… I’m not lucky enough to marry him.”

“Gu Zijin goes too far! I didn’t want to put pressure on him, but now I should press him!”

A look of complacency crossed Yan Yuxiao’s eyes, but she concealed it from the old lady. “Grandma, don’t put Zijin through the mill.” She frowned.

“Young lady, you’re too benevolent, so he doesn’t cherish you. I’m his grandma, I know when I’ve had enough.”

Yan Yuxiao stopped persuading Elderly Lady Gu, but started flattering the old lady.

Lisa strode towards Gu Zijin’s office. “God! Mr. Gu, several senior shareholders announced that they would withdraw their investment.”

Gu Zijin nodded carelessly, “Got it. It’s my grandma.”

‘Elderly Lady Gu?’ Lisa was shocked.

Gu Zijin sneered, ‘I’ve made an announcement. If grandma didn’t do anything, I would feel weird.’

In the next moment, his phone rang. It was from his grandma.

“Zijin, why not tell me you’re back?”

“I’m too busy with my work. I will drop by after my work’s done.” Waiting for her response, Gu Zijin knew the old lady well.

She always tried to butter him up before telling him bad news.

“You’re having a really rough time at work, right? Calm down before you take actions, young man. But you need to pay your price for the things you’ve done.”

“My business goes smooth. Don’t worry, grandma.”

“I will wait and see how you can run the group without those senior shareholders.”

Elderly Lady Gu hung up the phone.

Gu Zijin realized that those shareholders were his grandma’s people. They followed the old lady’s instruction.

However, it was unwise for her to rely on these men.

Gu Zijin had understood that he was constrained by others these years. These “old fogeys” ran counter to him. As the president of the company, he must draw a plan for the group.

He could only… take back their power secretly.

The difference in shares was a drop in the bucket to what the Gu Group had gotten.

As the times changed, the company also transformed. Gu Zijin didn’t adhere to past practices.

“Inform the board. We’ll have a meeting.”
