CEO's Pampered Sweetheart

Not long after Ning Shujun came out of the washroom, everyone was still chatting, but Gu Qin was obviously distracted. Her gaze also kept glancing in the direction of the door.    

    

When the doorbell rang outside, she jumped up from the sofa.    

    

"What's wrong?" Ning Qianyu and Ning Shujun were both frightened by her.    

    

Only then did Gu Qin notice that her reaction was a little agitated. She calmed down her heart and pointed towards the direction of the door, "You guys talk. I will go and open the door."    

    

Ning Qianyu did not think much and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you."    

    

"It's okay." Gu Qin shook her head and walked towards the door.    

    

The doorbell had stopped ringing. She stood in front of the door and raised her left hand to open the door, but she was embarrassed. She stopped her hand again and again until Ning Qianyu's voice came again, "Gu Qin, isn't the person who came Ye Xi?"    

    

Gu Qin was shocked and quickly reached out to open the door. Because she used too much strength to pull the door, she threw her hand on the wall behind the door. Coincidentally there was a small nail hanging behind the door and Gu Qin's hand just happened to hit it.    

    

An instant of pain came and Gu Qin frowned. She forcefully endured the pain and cried out. She hurriedly hid her left hand behind her back. Then she looked at Ye Xi outside the door. "You're here?"    

    

With that, she took two steps back and let Ye Xi come out.    

    

Ye Xi did not expect Gu Qin to open the door. He was stunned for a moment and then nodded. He walked in with a pile of documents in one hand and several bags of things in the other.    

    

Gu Qin wanted to help him, but when she remembered her injured left hand, she swallowed her words of help.    

    

She watched him change his shoes at the entrance and then walked into the living room.    

    

Gu Qin then closed the door and followed him in.    

    

After Ye Xi entered the living room, he did not have time to put down the things in his hands. He came to Ning Shujun and greeted, "Hello, Du madam."    

    

Ning Shujun recognized Ye Xi as the person Gu Qin wanted to marry. She was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Call Du madam unfamiliar. Just call me Aunt Ning like Gu Qin."    

    

"Yes, Du... Aunt Ning." Ye Xi was not pretentious and immediately changed his words.    

    

Gu Qin, who was following behind him, felt her heart skip a beat when Ye Xi called her Aunt Ning.    

    

"Sigh." Ning Shujun replied and waved at Gu Qin, "Gu Qin, why are you standing there? Is it because your boyfriend is here? Are you embarrassed?"    

    

"No." Gu Qin looked at Ye Xi awkwardly and then sat beside Ning Shujun.    

    

For some reason, when Ning Shujun called him Gu Qin's boyfriend and not Gu Qin's husband, Ye Xi felt his heart turn cold. His expression was stiff as he said, "I will send the things in first."    

    

After saying that, without waiting for a response, he bowed towards Ning Shujun and turned to leave.    

    

Ye Xi carried the bag to the restaurant and happened to meet Ning Qianyu bringing the little darling out of the restaurant.    

    

When the little darling saw Ye Xi, he immediately ran over, "Uncle Ye."    

    

"Sigh, long time no see, little darling." Ye Xi squatted down, and the little darling immediately wrapped his neck around him, wanting him to hug him.    

    

Ye Xi could not free his hands. He used the strength of his arms to pick her up.    

    

"Little darling, didn't you see that Uncle Ye was carrying so many things? He even let Uncle Ye carry them." Ning Qianyu said as she took the bags from Ye Xi's hands.    

    

"No." The little darling made a face at Ning Qianyu.    

    

Seeing that the little darling did not speak, Ning Qianyu frowned, "Little darling, come down quickly."    

    

A trace of gentleness slid across Ye Xi's face, "It's okay. I like to hug her."    

    

"Just dote on her." Ning Qianyu shook her head helplessly.    

    

"Being able to dote on the little darling is our good fortune..." Ye Xi suddenly noticed Mu Shengchen who was busy in the kitchen and stopped talking.    

    

After a long while, he finally found his voice. "Young Master Chen makes dinner?"    

    

"Yes." Ning Qianyu shrugged her shoulders with an expression as if she had seen it.    

    

"I am lucky," she said. Young Master Chen's dishes were the only benefits Young Mistress had. She was lucky today.    

    

Seeing Ye Xi's expression, Ning Qianyu shook her head and reminded him, "You are poor. If he hears you, you will not be blessed."    

    

Ye Xi touched his face and asked shamelessly, "Young Mistress, Young Master Chen didn't hear it, did he?"    

    

Ning Qianyu replied seriously, "I think I heard it."    

    

Ye Xi exclaimed. Then he said, "Young Mistress, I will send the documents to Young Master Chen's study."    

    

Without waiting for Ning Qianyu to respond, he carried the little darling and ran towards Mu Shengchen's study.    

    

Ning Qianyu laughed secretly and carried the things into the restaurant.    

    

Gu Qin, who was sitting in the living room, saw the scene of Ning Qianyu and Ye Xi interacting with each other.    

    

It was a talkative scene. She had never seen such a talkative Ye Xi before, because Ye Xi rarely spoke in front of her. Even if he spoke, it was just a very simple sentence.    

    

In addition, both of them were very busy, so they only spoke less than ten sentences a day.    

    

Although she did not know what they were talking about just now, she knew very well that they were chatting happily because she saw gentleness on Ye Xi's face, a gentleness she had never seen before.    

    

For some reason, she had a strong urge to run over and pull Ye Xi over.    

    

She resisted the urge in her heart and stared in their direction until Ye Xi ran into the study with the little darling in his arms. Only then did she take back her eyes.    

    

She retracted her gaze, but she could not shake off the scene of Ye Xi gently chatting with Ning Qianyu in front of her eyes.    

    

"Gu Qin, what happened to your hand?" Ning Shujun suddenly exclaimed.    

    

Gu Qin did not notice and took out her injured left hand.    

    

"It's okay." Gu Qin answered absentmindedly.    

    

Ning Shujun's voice could not help but raise, "How can it be nothing? There was a lot of blood..."    

    

"It's okay. I'll just go and wash the wound." Gu Qin got up and walked to the bathroom.    

    

Standing in front of the washing table, Gu Qin turned on the tap and allowed the cold water to wash the wound on her left hand's back.    

    

The water washed the blood around the wound bit by bit and then the fresh blood that seeped out from the wound flowed out in the water.    

    

She quietly watched as the blood was taken away by the water bit by bit. She did not know how much time had passed until Ning Qianyu's call for her to eat came from outside. Only then did she come back to her senses and turn off the tap.    

    

The moment the tap was turned off, blood immediately seeped out from the wound. Gu Qin immediately took out a stack of tissues from the shelf and pressed them on the wound.    

    

She then pulled off her sleeves. After making sure that the back of her hand was covered, she put her left hand into her pocket and walked out of the washroom.    

    

When she entered the dining room, everyone sat at the table and waited for her.    

    

Ning Qianyu and Mu Shengchen sat side by side on the east side. Ning Shujun and the little darling sat on the north side while Ye Xi sat on the west side alone. There was an empty seat beside him and there were two empty seats on the south side.    

    

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Gu Qin smiled apologetically and sat down on the empty seat on the south side.
