No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 395: Atonement



“Yes, I’m Jiang Xin,” Jiang Xin nodded and sat down. She raised an eyebrow and frowned at Gu Zijin who looked quite gloomy.

Qin Muxuan was even willing to die for him, but she, Jiang Xin, turned up her nose at him.

Even though the vibe Gu Zijin gave out was terrifying, Jiang Xin was able to resist it with her strong psychological qualities.

The whole room was silent for a while. Gu Zijin looked at the woman who had no respect for him at all and knew that she was the doctor Yin Youting got for Qin Muxuan. He was extremely jealous.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

However, he also knew that if he wanted to know Qin Muxuan’s condition, only he could only ask Jiang Xin.

Between his dignity and Qin Muxuan, which one was more important? After all that he had gone through, Gu Zijin knew clearly what the answer was.

So Jiang Xin, who deliberately pulled a long face to embarrass Gu Zijin, saw that without hesitation, Gu Zijin, who was a bit impatient, asked sincerely:

“What’s it that Xiao Xuan suffering from?”

Jiang Xin, who failed to give Gu Zijin a hard time, felt a little unhappy, so she could only say angrily:

“It’s…”

“I’m fine,” Qin Muxuan’s weak voice came from behind them.

Xiaoxin, who had woken up, together with Xiaobai, threw themselves at her.

“Mommy!” Half of Xiaoxin’s body got on the bed, and she affectionately rubbed against Qin Muxuan’s hand, “You’re finally awake!”

Qin Muxuan was amused by what she said. She pinched Xiaoxin’s jaw and looked up at Xiaobai who was hesitant about whether he should get closer or not.

“Xiaobai, come over here.”

She extended her hand and Xiaobai walked over obediently. He looked Qin Muxuan up and down to confirm that she was really fine. All the emotions that he had restrained rushed out all at once and his eyes instantly turned red.

Qin Muxuan was both sad and guilty. She hugged the two children in her arms and kissed their forehead while her eyes went wet. She knew that she loved them, but she also knew that she was also most sorry for them.

Xiaobai’s face was buried in her arms and he started to cry. The young man who was usually particular about his image was now both crying and burping.

“Mommy…Hiccup… I was so worried…”

Qin Muxuan was busy trying to coax Xiaobai, and she didn’t notice that Gu Zijin had come over.

She felt warmth in her back and her whole body was wrapped up with a warm embrace.

The man’s slightly cold lips gently touched the back of her neck.

Qin Muxuan froze and she soon realized something was off.

A drop of warm liquid fell down the side of her neck and slid into her suit along the arc of her collarbone.

As if a wound had suddenly appeared, Qin Muxuan shivered.

“Zijin…”

“Qin Muxuan,” Gu Zijin’s voice was frighteningly hoarse, “Why didn’t you let her tell me? Why did you hide it from me?”

Qin Muxuan opened her mouth but she didn’t know what to say. At this point, even if she meant to keep hiding it from him, it seemed like she could no longer do it.

She knew Gu Zijin very well. If he wanted to know something, she wouldn’t be able to hide it from him.

However, she really didn’t want Gu Zijin to know what happened three years ago. She also didn’t want Xiaobai to listen to something as cruel as that.

She loved Gu Zijin and that was her own choice. She didn’t want to turn whatever pain she’d suffered in the past into a moral shackle that bound Gu Zijin.

Qin Muxuan didn’t know how to answer him so she chose silence.

Jiang Xin sat there without saying anything. Even though she really wanted to tell Gu Zijin everything that Qin Muxuan had experienced, so that he would have a taste of the deep pain that Qin Muxuan had had. But her patient Qin Muxuan didn’t allow it, so she wouldn’t say it, which was one of the professional ethics that she followed as a psychiatrist.

Gu Zijin who didn’t get an answer was a little disappointed, but he also guessed that he probably had something to do with it.

Over the past few days, Qin Muxuan was acting like a timid snail. Once she was hit by external force, she would immediately retract into her shell. This time, he finally caught her with her head outside. He must seize the opportunity and make the most of it.

His sadness was 70% real, but 30% of it was an act. He made up his mind and acted even harder.

He sneaked his hand out and pinched Xiaobai. The tacit understanding that the father and son had cultivated for the past three years came in handy immediately. Qin Muxuan heard that Xiaobai suddenly cried much louder, and felt that his whole body trembled more violently in her arms.

She was immersed in her own worries and didn’t notice what Gu Zijin was doing at all.

Seeing Xiaobai acting like that, she became even more nervous.

“Xiaobai, be good, Xiaobai, don’t cry. I’m really fine. Look, I can get out of bed and run now…”

As she said that, she was about to pull off the blanket.

There was no way that Gu Zijin would let her do that. He pressed hard on her body.

His words were full of melancholy and sadness, “Xiaobai is already so sad. He’s worried about you, so is me. You had been away for five years and now that you’ve come back, you got so sick. And you still won’t tell us the truth. Qin Muxuan, you’re really ruthless to us.”

One had to admit that Gu Zijin’s acting could be considered fabulous.

Qin Muxuan was stunned and she looked like she was in a trance. She only came to her senses after a while.

She didn’t know when that happened, but Xiaobai and Xiaoxin had already gotten away from her embrace, and they were standing in front of her and looking up at her obediently.

Gu Zijin was still holding her and looking at her gently. His usually fierce gaze was unusually calm, as if he was encouraging her.

Right there and then, Qin Muxuan let down her guard.

“It’s… post-trauma stress disorder.”

Gu Zijin was stunned. He’d heard about this illness but he didn’t expect Qin Muxuan to be suffering from it.

As its name went, this illness was a hindrance caused after a person had suffered great psychological or physical injuries. What Qin Muxuan…

Gu Zijin suddenly became afraid and he suddenly didn’t dare to listen to what Qin Muxuan was going to say next.

Qin Muxuan was immersed in her memories and was explaining the whole matter explicitly.

“Three years ago, I was about to give birth. Elderly Lady Gu took me away and locked me up…”

She sounded very calm. As she spoke, she paused every now and then, as if she was carefully recalling the past or considering how to properly express her thoughts.

Pretty soon, the more she said, the more smoothly it went. She vaguely felt that this kind of honest statement could make her mood particularly better.

However, what she said caused a huge impact on Gu Zijin.

Back then, he only knew that Elderly Lady Gu had taken Qin Muxuan away, but he had no idea how she had been treated, and what Yu Yuxiao had done to her.

Heariing Qin Muxuan calmly talking about what had happened to her all these years, he felt like his heart was being twisted.

He claimed that he loved Qin Muxuan deeply, but he never thought that he would be the one to hurt her the most.

“Yan Yuxiao!”

He needed to atone for what he had put Qin Muxuan through, but Yan Yuxiao should really die for it!
