Chapter 79: Chapter 79: An Junxi, I Heard You’re Secretly in Love with Me?

    Liang Huiyun said, "I’ve thought it over. If you don’t have feelings for Yi Ke, you don’t have to leave."

    An Junxi didn’t expect Mrs. Gu to trust her so much. She pondered for a while and said, "Then maybe I should go?"

    "What do you mean?"

    An Junxi steeled herself and said, "You were right. I have been secretly in love with Mr. Gu."

    Liang Huiyun didn’t speak. She took a sip of tea, waiting for An Junxi to continue.

    An Junxi clutched the hem of her clothes and said, "If I stay, I won’t be able to control my feelings for him. I know the distance between Mr. Gu and me. We are impossible. Watching him every day but not being able to be close... is too painful. I will leave in a couple of days."

    Mrs. Gu said, "Alright, then go."

    An Junxi thanked Mrs. Gu and stood up, leaving the greenhouse.

    Liang Huiyun watched her back thoughtfully.

    At that moment, her phone rang. Liang Huiyun glanced at it and answered, "Doctor Liu."

    Doctor Liu respectfully said, "Madam, the check-up reports for you and Miss An are out. I just sent them to your email."

    Liang Huiyun opened the tablet she carried with her, logged into her email, and opened the files. She said, "Tell me about An Junxi’s report first."

    Doctor Liu said, "Miss An is in good health. There are no hereditary diseases in her family. It’s clear that she pays attention to dietary health. There are no major issues."

    Liang Huiyun scrolled through the report on the device and directly asked, "How is this girl’s fertility?"

    Doctor Liu didn’t expect the Madam to ask this question. She paused for a moment and then said, "Her hormone levels are excellent. If she plans to conceive, there’s no problem with early preparation. Also, Miss An is still a virgin."

    She was an experienced elder and knew that was what Mrs. Gu wanted to hear.

    Liang Huiyun was indeed satisfied and said, "Very good."

    Doctor Liu then mentioned her own check-up report. Liang Huiyun noted that it wasn’t much different from previous years, exchanged a few words, and then hung up.

    She reviewed An Junxi’s check-up report again. The Young Madam of the Gu Family had to be pure and clean. That was the minimum requirement.

    Doctor Liu stared at the phone for a long time, unable to understand who An Junxi was, to have passed the old Madam’s test and been chosen as a candidate for the Gu Family’s daughter-in-law.

    She’s really lucky, envious beyond words!

    An Junxi bought a bookcase for her new home and added some daily necessities. As she slowly arranged her things in the new house, her mood improved a lot.

    No matter how stormy it was outside, she felt the safest here.

    Two days later, the Gu Family announced the time for their press conference on the new development plan. It was set for a week later.

    Under the guidance of the company’s public relations, the media was now mostly focused on the development plan of the Gu Family, with less coverage of President Gu’s private life. After all, the Gu Family’s creation of jobs affected countless lives, which was what the public cared about the most.

    An Junxi saw the news and knew that Gu Yikun would be back soon.

    At this moment, she also received a call from Gong Xiaoyu, asking her to start work next week.

    An Junxi breathed a sigh of relief, finally seeing the rainbow after the storm.

    On the morning of her departure, An Junxi got up early to make breakfast for Gu Jin Xiu. When sending Jin Xiu to school, she gave him a fierce kiss on his handsome little face and said, "Jin Xiu, goodbye."

    Gu Jin Xiu puzzledly wiped the saliva off his face. What was up with Sister Jun Xi today?

    Although he was still a child, Gu Jin Xiu didn’t think much of it and said goodbye to An Junxi before getting into the car.

    An Junxi went upstairs to pack her things. She didn’t have much, just one suitcase.

    When she brought her suitcase downstairs, Mrs. Gu was sitting in the hall. An Junxi went to say goodbye to Mrs. Gu and said, "Mrs. Gu, take care of yourself. I’m leaving."

    "Hmm."

    Sister He saw that Jun Xi was really leaving and couldn’t help but tear up, saying, "The young master will be back in a few days. Are you really not going to wait for him?" Her intuition told her the young master wouldn’t want Jun Xi to leave like this.

    If the young master comes back to find Jun Xi gone, it might strain things further with Mrs. Gu, and the situation would be irreparable.

    An Junxi shook her head and said, "No."

    She thanked Sister He and Sister Li for their care during this time and then got into the car.

    Sister He watched the car drive away and went back inside to see Mrs. Gu reading a book on the sofa, but her eyes weren’t focused. She couldn’t help asking, "Madam, I noticed you were quite kind to Jun Xi these days. How come..."

    Liang Huiyun said, "Do you remember Lv Mo? The more I opposed someone, the more Yi Ke liked her."

    Sister He suddenly understood.

    Liang Huiyun added, "When Yi Ke returns, don’t say anything."

    Sister He and Sister Li quickly said, "We understand, Madam."

    The Gu Family’s driver took An Junxi straight to Yuhua Mansion. An Junxi dragged her suitcase upstairs, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted.

    After she left the Gu Family, Sister He and Sister Li lost their energy to do things all day. They even forgot to add salt to the dinner.

    The house felt like it was missing something.

    Liang Huiyun ate the unsalted food and sternly scolded them, "You’re in your sixties and still forgetting things. Do you want to retire?"

    Sister He wanted to go to the kitchen and remake the dishes. Just as she turned, she was startled, "Young Master, you’re back?"

    Gu Yikun ignored his mother at the dining table and walked over to ask Sister He, "Where is An Junxi?"

    Sister He lowered her head and said, "Jun Xi left yesterday."

    "What do you mean, left?"

    Sister He didn’t dare to answer.

    Liang Huiyun stood up and said, "Come with me."

    Gu Yikun felt something bad was about to happen. He followed his mother to the room. Liang Huiyun sat down on the sofa and said, "I drove An Junxi away. She’s an uneducated fool, always trying to climb into men’s beds. How can such a woman stay in the Gu Family?"

    Gu Yikun slammed his hand on the table and gritted his teeth, questioning his mother, "Is this how you scolded her and drove her away?"

    "Yes, I won’t allow such a woman into the Gu Family. I’m your mother. I have the right to make decisions for you!"

    Gu Yikun took off his suit’s tie, sat down, and tried to control his emotions, saying, "An Junxi was only my private tutor..."

    "No, she admitted to me personally that she was secretly in love with you. It’s simply wishful thinking!"

    Gu Yikun stared at her, "What did you say?"

    Liang Huiyun played a recording on her phone. An Junxi’s voice echoed in the room, "I have been secretly in love with Mr. Gu. If I stay, I won’t be able to control my feelings for him. I know the distance between Mr. Gu and me. We are impossible. Watching him every day but not being able to be close... is too painful. I will leave in a couple of days."

    Gu Yikun felt a surge of joy within him, his anger dissipating significantly. It took him a while to fully calm down. He stood up and said, "I am not who I was before, Mother. You can no longer interfere in my affairs."

    Liang Huiyun watched her son slam the door and leave. She relaxed, understanding that Yi Ke truly liked An Junxi.

    That girl... was not perfect but had room for improvement. She could accept her, reluctantly.

    As long as he could forget about Lv Mo.

    An Junxi was organizing things at home and didn’t realize it was getting dark. Only then did she remember her kitchen utensils and dinnerware were not complete.

    She would start work tomorrow and had nothing to do for now, so she grabbed her keys and phone and went out. There was a large supermarket a ten-minute walk from the neighborhood, making shopping convenient.

    When An Junxi came out of the supermarket with a large bag, she found it was raining heavily outside, and she hadn’t brought an umbrella.

    An Junxi saw that the rain wouldn’t stop anytime soon and decided to brave the rain to get home, thinking she could just take a shower afterward.

    As she was about to rush into the rain, her phone rang. Seeing the number made her heart race. She answered, "Mr. Gu."

    He asked, "Where are you?"

    An Junxi was startled and said, "You’re back?"

    "Yes, where are you?"

    An Junxi did not answer. What difference would it make if he knew where she was?

    Gu Yikun added, "An Junxi, I heard you were secretly in love with me?"

    An Junxi nearly dropped her phone into the water.
