CHAPTER 249: CHAPTER 249: I’LL JUST HUG YOU

An Junxi saw Gu Yikun speaking for Xie Yuchen, so she generously stopped teasing them, otherwise, Zhang Miaoyan might leave without eating.

Gu Aixi insisted on being held by her mommy. An Junxi picked up the baby and said: "Auntie and uncle bought so many pretty clothes for Aixi, what should Aixi say?"

Gu Aixi said in a crisp voice, "Fanquiu."

Nobody understood. There was a moment of big eyes staring at little eyes, and Gu Jinxiu laughed until his stomach hurt, "I just taught my sister, thank you!"

An Junxi was between crying and laughing, this mispronunciation was too much, who could understand? "Aixi hasn’t even spoken her native language properly, and she’s already learning a foreign language."

Gu Yikun gently patted his daughter’s little head, "She learned very well."

Gu Aixi raised her little face and gave herself a thumbs up, "Great!"

Everyone was amused by her. Zhang Miaoyan, seeing how adorable Gu Aixi was, said: "Can I hold her for a bit?"

An Junxi tried handing Gu Aixi over to Zhang Miaoyan. Gu Aixi didn’t reject her and comfortably held onto Zhang Miaoyan’s neck, laying her little head on her shoulder.

Zhang Miaoyan smelled the milky fragrance on the baby, and looking at Aixi’s chubby little hand grabbing her clothes, she felt a sense of dependency.

She was overwhelmed with motherly love and kissed Aixi’s cheek, "Aixi is so good."

An Junxi noticed that Gu Aixi seemed to particularly like Zhang Miaoyan and said, "Does the baby want to kiss Auntie?"

Gu Aixi really went ahead and gave a kiss.

The soft little mouth gave a kiss, and Zhang Miaoyan felt sweetness in her heart, holding Gu Aixi tightly, "Aixi is truly a little angel."

Xie Yuchen looked at Zhang Miaoyan, she looked very beautiful at that moment.

Zhang Miaoyan had her eyes only on the baby. Everyone played for a while, and Gu Aixi started to feel sleepy, stretching her arms towards An Junxi for her mommy.

An Junxi took Aixi in her arms, "Baby, are you sleepy?"

Gu Aixi buried her head in An Junxi’s arms, rubbed her eyes with her little hands, looking really tired.

An Junxi told them to keep chatting, while she took the baby into the room to lull her to sleep.

Normally at this age, children need their parents to hold them to sleep, but Gu Aixi was brave and could sleep in the crib alone.

An Junxi gently rocked the cradle, singing a lullaby, and Gu Aixi quickly fell asleep.

Gu Yikun pushed the door open and came in. An Junxi put her index finger to her lips, making a "shh" gesture.

Gu Yikun walked over lightly and sat beside her.

She was especially gentle while putting the baby to sleep, and Gu Yikun watched her with a bit of jealousy towards their daughter.

His hand unconsciously fell on her waist, and An Junxi tightened her grip on his hand. Gu Yikun, seeing her fear, said in her ear, "I just want to hold you."

He had been thinking about his wife and daughter all day at the office, which lowered his work efficiency, and now all he wanted was to hold her when he came home.

An Junxi tried to relax and let him hold her.

Gu Yikun was satisfied, this was already a great progress. After all, he had done such excessive things to her, it served him right.

After a while, when the child was sound asleep, An Junxi and Gu Yikun went out to the living room. Aunt He and Xiao Luo set the dishes on the table, and Aunt He, seeing that An Junxi was about to entertain the guests, let Xiao Luo stay in the living room while she took off her apron and stayed in the room to watch over the little lady’s sleep.

As soon as An Junxi and the others sat down, Yue Xiaoyang showed up uninvited, and Xiao Luo opened the door for him.

An Junxi playfully looked at Gong Xiaoyu, thinking that Yue Xiaoyang found his way here and showed some sincerity, so she wouldn’t still be mad, right?

Upon hearing Yue Xiaoyang was here, Gong Xiaoyu’s face initially showed a hint of disdain, but then a shy smile crept up her lips. When she noticed An Junxi staring at her, Gong Xiaoyu stopped smiling and pinched An Junxi’s arm, "What are you looking at?"

An Junxi winked, "I see someone being two-faced."

Gong Xiaoyu pinched harder, "What did you say?"

An Junxi gasped, "I don’t dare, I don’t dare."

Gu Yikun, hearing their whispers, looked over, and Gong Xiaoyu quickly let go.

If President Gu saw her mistreating his wife, he might kick her out.

Yue Xiaoyang walked in with large strides, holding two bottles of red wine. Seeing that they hadn’t started eating yet, he said, "The timing is perfect."

After speaking, he went to Gong Xiaoyu’s side. Gong Xiaoyu had An Junxi on her left and Zhang Miaoyan on her right. Yue Xiaoyang unceremoniously pushed Zhang Miaoyan’s head aside, "Move over, make room for your brother."

Zhang Miaoyan, who had been sitting next to Xie Yuchen, seeing Yue Xiaoyang take her place, gladly moved to sit beside Gu Jinxiu.

Just as she didn’t want to sit next to Xie Yuchen, who had acted very out of character today, and she couldn’t keep up.

Yue Xiaoyang sat boldly in Zhang Miaoyan’s spot, and Xie Yuchen coldly remarked, "Young Master Yue, are you getting fatter recently? You’re taking up a lot of space."

Yue Xiaoyang, completely unfazed, said, "I didn’t gain weight. I knew Yu Chen cared about me and wanted to sit together with me."

Xie Yuchen, having just picked up his chopsticks, put them down again, took a sip of tea to stimulate his appetite, fearing he wouldn’t be able to eat.

Gong Xiaoyu deliberately didn’t look at Yue Xiaoyang, while Yue Xiaoyang put his arm on the back of her chair and grabbed her hand, saying, "Xiaoyu, why didn’t you call me when you came over? I’ve been looking for you all day."

An Junxi rubbed her arm, "Yue Xiaoyang, there are kids here, tone it down a bit."

Gu Jinxiu covered his mouth, laughing, Uncle Yue was too hilarious!

Yue Xiaoyang, ignoring everyone’s side-eyes, continued to stare at Gong Xiaoyu.

Unable to resist his thick-skinned nature, Gong Xiaoyu handed him some food with her chopsticks, "Eat your food, we’ll talk later."

Seeing that there might be a chance tonight, Yue Xiaoyang grinned, "As you wish, Xiaoyu treats me so well."

Under the table, Gong Xiaoyu kicked his foot. She knew he’d gotten his way and still pretended.

Yue Xiaoyang, unfazed, put his hand on her thigh, making Gong Xiaoyu quickly surrender, giving him more food while whispering, "Stop it."

Yue Xiaoyang, excited by her teasing, felt a strong urge, thinking that if it weren’t for all the people here, he would have taken her right then and there.

Because of Yu Zheng, she had ignored him for days. He endured it hard, and thought if she still didn’t forgive him, he would go to the Gu Family and duel Yu Zheng, eliminating the rival first.

As everyone began eating, Yue Xiaoyang diligently served Gong Xiaoyu, treating everyone else as if they were invisible.

Gu Yikun also served An Junxi, "Eat more, you’ve gotten so thin."

An Junxi thought she had gained some weight after coming back. Didn’t Yikun notice? Why did he still say she was thin?

She said, "Don’t give me so much."

Gu Yikun coaxed her, "Be good, if you can’t finish, I’ll help you eat."

An Junxi wanted to eat shrimp, and Gu Yikun started peeling them for her, saying, "This is a dietician’s menu, you have to eat a bit of everything."

An Junxi couldn’t resist since he was watching her eat so closely, what else could she do?

Sitting opposite them, Zhang Miaoyan was forced to witness the "love show," feeling that the two couples were in their own world.

She had no place to rest her eyes, and accidentally made eye contact with Xie Yuchen. He seemed to see nothing, continuing to eat leisurely.

She thought, he must be tough inside after being single for so many years.
