CHAPTER 238: CHAPTER 238 DADDY IS FIERCE

An Junxi once doubted Gu Yikun’s feelings for her. After that night, when he forcibly possessed her, she was even afraid of this man.

But the wounds on his body told her that he could even give up his life for her.

Faced with Gu Yikun’s remorse, An Junxi asked, "You said you wanted to marry You Lifen, was it also to anger me? Yikun, I thought you didn’t love me."

Gu Yikun held her hand tenderly in his palm, "Those were just words said in anger. Xi Xi, I never signed the divorce papers you gave me. Legally, we are still married. I never planned to divorce you."

An Junxi suddenly felt a sense of belonging.

She had thought she would be raising her daughter alone in the future, but now, with him by her side, she wasn’t afraid of any challenges that might come her way.

"How’s Ai Xi?"

As An Junxi was speaking, her parents brought in Gu Aixi. Gu Aixi had just finished eating and was full of energy, lively as ever.

She climbed onto the bed and snuggled into An Junxi’s arms, her big eyes darting around, looking at Gu Yikun.

Her sparkling eyes almost melted Gu Yikun’s heart. He reached out his hand to the little baby.

Gu Aixi buried herself in An Junxi’s arms, "Daddy is coming to catch me!"

The two elders were amused by her. Mrs. An said, "Ai Xi recognizes her daddy, but she’s never spent time with him. She doesn’t know what a daddy is yet. Give it a few days, and she’ll get used to it."

An Junxi kissed her daughter and asked her parents, "Has Ai Xi been checked by the doctor? What did they say?"

Mr. An waved his hand, "It was a misdiagnosis. That small hospital is really unreliable. Their equipment is too outdated. Luckily, there were no issues during your prenatal check-ups there."

Mrs. An added, "I was scared to death. The doctor said Ai Xi just has a weak stomach. She was premature, so her immunity is a bit low. We just need to strengthen her resistance."

An Junxi was still worried, "Really? Has she been thoroughly checked?"

Gu Yikun said, "I had the doctor do full-body checks on both the child and your parents. You’re the one in the worst shape."

Mr. An said, "I used to have some back and leg pain. After living on the island for a while, I don’t have so many ailments. That place is really suitable for retirement."

Mrs. An said, "Are you thinking of going back?"

Mr. An was a little embarrassed, "It would be nice to visit old friends there. We’ve known them for two years, and they’ve helped us so much."

Mrs. An agreed, "That’s true, especially Sister Chen’s family. Yikun, you really should take Jun Xi back there to visit. When Ai Xi was born, there was a typhoon, and the island lost water and electricity. If it weren’t for Sister Chen’s family helping out, how could Jun Xi have managed..."

At this point, Mrs. An slapped her own mouth, "Everyone is well now, so let’s not talk about such ominous things."

Gu Yikun was tormented inside. How much had she suffered? No wonder her health was so poor.

He respectfully said to the two elders, "Thank you for your hard work over the past two years, Mom and Dad. I won’t let such a situation happen again."

Mrs. An was still a little shaken, "Gu Kuangxia is gone now. We don’t have many desires; we just want everyone to live safely and securely. Take good care of them, and we’ll be at ease."

Gu Yikun promised them, "I will."

An Junxi asked her mother, "Why didn’t you call me when you arrived? You went straight to the show venue."

Mrs. An said, "The child was crying to see her mother. You had given me the address before. Sister Chen’s brother took us there. We couldn’t get in at the door. Ai Xi was crying so hard that a girl asked who we were looking for. Ai Xi said her mother’s name is An Junxi, so the girl took us inside."

Mr. An said worriedly, "We just wanted to see how you were doing at work. We didn’t know they would let Ai Xi walk on stage. Did it mess up your work?"

An Junxi looked at Gu Yikun, knowing how important this event was. They really had messed it up.

Gu Yikun said, "It’s just a small event. Your return is more important than anything."

An Junxi worried, "Ai Xi being exposed to the media, I’m afraid..."

Gu Aixi was restless in her mother’s arms, grabbing An Junxi’s hair. An Junxi frowned, "Baby, you’re hurting Mommy."

When she was pregnant, she had cut her hair to shoulder length. Now it had grown out, and Gu Aixi loved to pull at it, which really hurt.

Gu Yikun frowned, "Gu Aixi."

Gu Aixi turned to look at Gu Yikun, then cried in An Junxi’s arms, "Daddy is so mean..."

Gu Yikun couldn’t bear to be harsh to his precious daughter, but between his wife and daughter, he could only side with his wife.

An Junxi coaxed her, "Ai Xi, be good. Daddy won’t be mean if you behave."

Gu Yikun had never held such a small child before. He didn’t dare to hold her and didn’t know how to soothe her. He took the rubber band from the table to tie An Junxi’s hair so she couldn’t pull at it.

Gu Yikun was clumsy with tying hair, making a mess of An Junxi’s hair.

An Junxi said, "Let me do it myself."

Gu Yikun was a bit sweaty, "No, I’ll do it."

Mr. and Mrs. An exchanged a smile. This couple really had reconciled.

Gu Yikun said, "Most of the news about the show has been suppressed. The recorded program will be broadcasted later, and the media present weren’t allowed to take away any footage. We can’t control the live audience, but letting out some news is fine. We’re an upright and legitimate couple."

An Junxi thought it over. It seemed there was nothing else to worry about at the moment. Her main concern was her daughter’s health. Now that it was confirmed to be a misdiagnosis, she was relieved.

As for Liu Zhiwen and Han Jiayi, she would slowly get her revenge on them.

Gu Yikun finished tying An Junxi’s hair, "Xi Xi, the doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for two weeks for observation. After you are discharged, you will come home with me."

Home—those were the sweetest words to An Junxi.

Gu Aixi needed her daddy. Yikun also loved them. Where else would she go if not home with him?

An Junxi asked, "Going back to the villa?"

Gu Yikun’s eyes flickered, "The villa needs some renovations. We’ll go to the apartment first."

He didn’t dare to say he had smashed their master bedroom, fearing it would anger Xi Xi.

An Junxi didn’t tell him that she had already visited the villa, "As long as we’re not going back to the family house."

She didn’t want to live with her in-laws.

Gu Yikun, of course, agreed, "Whatever you like."

Mr. An said, "You two live your life well. We’ll go back to our community. We haven’t seen our neighbors for two years. They might still remember us."

Gu Yikun proactively suggested, "Mom and Dad, I’ll find you a safer place to stay." He didn’t want the past to repeat itself.

Mr. An refused, "The community we’re living in now is full of warmth. We don’t want to move."

"Then I’ll arrange for plainclothes bodyguards to live nearby to ensure your safety. They won’t interfere with your daily life. Just carry on as usual."

The two elders thought it was a bit much but, recalling the time when they were taken by Gu Kuangxia, agreed that safety was paramount, especially considering Yikun’s special status.
