No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Qin Muxuan sat beside Qin Xin all through that long night. However, the woman dropped off near the bed just before dawn. She was exhausted and couldn’t hold on any more.

Time fled. Qin Muxuan finally became conscious, not knowing how long she slumbered. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Jian Xi who sat by the bed and distracted Qin Xin with a Barbie doll.

“Good morning. I’ve bought you some congee. Xin has had some. That’s yours on the table.” Jian Xi pointed her chin towards the table and said to Qin Muxuan who was in a daze.

Hearing that, Qin Muxuan turned around. A bowl of minced pork congee with a preserved egg was on the table, steaming. Raising her hand, she rubbed her sore neck. “When did you come?” Asked Qin Muxuan.

“About six o’clock. I couldn’t sit still when I was in the hotel, so I came here early.”

After Mu Ming sent her back to the hotel last night, Jian Xi had difficulty in falling asleep. Qin Xin had always been on Jian Xi’s mind.

Hearing Jian Xi’s words, Qin Muxuan was helpless. The mother didn’t expect that her daughter would be unacclimatized. ‘She wouldn’t have suffered if I hadn’t taken her here.’

“You can have a rest in the hotel. I can keep her company.” Noticing Qin Muxuan’s haggardness, Jian Xi was worried.

Qin Muxuan stretched out her hand and landed on the kid’s forehead. The child’s fever had broken. Qin Muxuan was much relieved. However, she shook her head towards Jian Xi. “I might not fall asleep when I go back to the hotel like you.”

In fact, Qin Muxuan was a light sleeper. She couldn’t sleep soundly in a hotel. It would be better for her to stay beside her daughter. Under such circumstances, she might fall asleep more easily.

“Mommy, I can tell you stories if you are unable to sleep.” Hearing Qin Muxuan’s words, the kid recalled the past. ‘Every time I can’t fall asleep, mommy will tell me stories.’

The girl’s crispy voice made Qin Muxuan chuckle. The woman’s weary face showed a relieved smile. “As long as you get better, I will be fine.”

“All right! I will take medicine on time according to the doctor’s instruction.” Qin Xin nodded her little head solemnly.

“Good girl.” Qin Muxuan stroked Qin Xin’s head. Tenderness welled up in the mother’s eyes.

Suddenly, Qin Muxuan’s phone beeped.

She reached for the phone and drew it out. The call was from Lawyer Mu. She answered the phone. “Hello, Ms. Mu.”

“Ms. Qin, are you free today? We can discuss details of our cooperation. Then I can ask my FA to make a detailed plan for us.” Said Lawyer Mu.

Qin Muxuan was voiceless. She suddenly realized her purpose of returning to China this time. She rubbed her hair in a frustrated manner. She hadn’t prepared cooperation-related documents since Qin Xin’s sickness.

The woman glimpsed at the child on the bed. “Sorry, Ms. Mu. My daughter’s ill. I can’t leave her alone today. Are you available tomorrow?” Apologized Qin Muxuan.

Hearing that, Lawyer Mu was astonished. She didn’t expect that Qin Muxuan had a child. “Sorry to hear that, Ms. Qin. Hope she will get better soon. How about tomorrow afternoon?”

“Of course. I will contact you later to schedule it.” Replied Qin Muxuan.

After Qin Muxuan hung up, Jian Xi turned to her. “The lawyer?”

“Yep. I’ll meet her tomorrow afternoon.”

“I will accompany Xin. You should go and prepare the materials.” Jian Xi understood that Qin Muxuan hadn’t had time to get things ready because of the mess from yesterday.

“Okay. I’ll leave now.” Qin Muxuan didn’t refuse this time. After all, it was a crucial acquisition. It would be more efficient if data were prepared well.

Qin Muxuan grinned at Qin Xin. “I’m going back to work. Be a good girl.”

“Mmm, I will. Goodbye, mommy.” Although Qin Xin was reluctant to leave her mother, she didn’t want to delay Qin Muxuan’s work. ‘I have troubled mommy since yesterday, so I can’t annoy her anymore.’ Considered Qin Xin.

Qin Xin replied obediently, which comforted Qin Muxuan. “Sorry for not having lunch with you, Xin. You can tell Ms. Jian what you like to eat.”

After the woman finished her words, the girl pouted. “Will mommy come back tonight?”

“Of course. I’ll come to accompany you.”

Hearing that, Qin Xin beamed. Her eyes sparkled. “Then I’ll wait for you!”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Deal.”

After saying goodbye to Jian Xi, Qin Muxuan left the hospital and headed towards the hotel. As soon as she arrived at her room, she turned on her laptop and sorted out the unfinished documents.

It was time for lunch. In the hospital, Jian Xi planned to order food for Qin Xin through her phone. “Xin, what would you like to eat? I can order for you.”

Qin Xin felt her stomach was empty. She licked her lips. “I want fried chicken.”

“Well, you should have some porridge first.”

The doctor warned that Qin Xin shouldn’t eat too much greasy food, so she’d better have some porridge before fried chicken.

“Okay!” Hearing that, Qin Xin kept nodding her head.

Usually, Qin Muxuan seldom allowed Qin Xin to eat fried chicken because it was junk food. Having too much junk food did harm to the kid’s health.

However, Jian Xi couldn’t refuse Qin Xin. Therefore, the girl would plead with Jian Xi if she wanted fried chicken. Nevertheless, Qin Xin knew she should listen to her mother, so she didn’t eat that often.

Noticing Qin Xin was thrilled, Jian Xi grinned. The woman tapped the screen and was about to order a package of home delivery food. At the same time, someone called her.

The caller ID on the screen showed it was from Mu Ming.

Jian Xi was stunned. ‘Why does he call me now?’

She answered the call in confusion. “Hello, Mr. Mu.”

On the other side of the phone, Mu Ming was downhearted when he heard Jian Xi called him Mr. Mu. However, he concealed his emotion from her in an instant. “I call for asking if you are in the hospital?” The man asked gingerly.

In effect, he was not sure whether Jian Xi was in the hospital to take care of Qin Xin. However, Qin Muxuan returned to China for cooperation. He speculated that the mother might not have time to look after her daughter. Hence, he planned to try his luck.

Not knowing his intention, Jian Xi replied truthfully. “Yes, I am. Is there anything wrong?”

“Well, nothing.” After uttering two words, Mu Ming hung up out of the blue. Jian Xi was perplexed when she heard the beep.

However, someone rapped on the door in less than five minutes. Jian Xi abruptly rose from a chair and opened the door.

As soon as she saw the person, Jian Xi was dumbfounded. “Mr. Mu, why are you here?” Her eyes were full of surprise, widening. She eyeballed Mu Ming, finding he carried many things in his hands.

“I was near here for some reason, so I decided to drop in on Xin.” Smiled Mu Ming.

Hearing his words, Jian Xi stepped aside and let him in.

He placed all the stuff on the table as soon as he entered the ward. Seeing Mu Ming, the kid beamed. “Uncle Mu!”

The man was relieved when noticing Qin Xin was energetic. “I’ve brought you tasty food.”

“Hurrah! Thank you, Uncle Mu!” Qin Xin unwrapped the package promptly.

Jian Xi then realized that he bought food.

“KFC! Awesome!” There was fried chicken and chips. Qin Xin’s eyes glimmered. Waving her arms, she was overjoyed. “Xixi! Look! Uncle Mu bought lots of delicious food!” The girl turned to Jian Xi and exclaimed.

Qin Xin looked adorable, which made Jian Xi chuckle. “Mmm, you look delighted.” Jian Xi stroked the kid’s head gently. Her eyes were filled with tenderness.

Mu Ming stared at the woman’s profile blankly.

“Thank you for your food, Mr. Mu.” Smiling bashfully at Mu Ming, Jian Xi said politely.

Mu Ming changed the subject abruptly. “Jian Xi, we’re friends, right? You don’t have to call me Mr. Mu.”

Mu Ming knew Jian Xi treated everyone, including Yin Youting, like this. However, he hoped he could be different in her heart.

The woman didn’t react instantly for she didn’t expect that the man would mention that out of the blue. However, Jian Xi decided to abandon those false courtesies since Mu Ming had said so. If she still acted according to the formalities, she would be hypocritical. “Well, Mu… Ming.” Jian Xi said awkwardly.

After Mu Ming heard that, a trace of delight flashed through his eyes. “Okay, it’s time for lunch. I’ve bought kinds of food. If you like them, I would be cheerful.”

Except for the fried chicken, there was a package of other types of food which included cooked vegetables and Japanese cuisine. Jian Xi was speechless and helpless. ‘I can’t have all these.’

“Mr. Mu… Mu Ming, well. You bought too much food.” Holding the bag, Jian Xi gaped at Mu Ming.

Hearing that, Mu Ming rubbed his head and flushed. “I don’t know what’s your favorite, so I bought all kinds of food.”
