CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 362: PRESIDENT GU FEELS VERY INSECURE

Everyone was looking for Mrs. Gu’s figure, but it was the media who spotted An Junxi standing at the edge outside the venue and quickly surrounded her.

Secretary Wang tried to block them, so the media could only take photos from several meters away. Many people were puzzled, thinking that Mrs. Gu wasn’t from a prestigious family, so what exactly about her made President Gu so devoted?

An Junxi became the focus of the entire event, feeling a bit at a loss.

Gu Yikun had told her that he would give her this castle. She thought he was joking and didn’t take it seriously. It turned out he was serious.

She couldn’t imagine how enormous that number was. Yi Ke, he...

An Junxi’s eyes turned red. In the past, he had personally flown to Saint Petersburg for this project, and she had suspected that there was something else going on between him and He Sirui during the trip.

An Junxi deeply felt that she didn’t deserve such a grand gift and that she wasn’t a competent wife.

The host, experienced in taking on big events, was so shocked by President Gu’s words that he forgot his lines. The director constantly reminded him from below the stage, and the host finally remembered to ask, "So, this is President Gu’s personal gift to Mrs. Gu? Is this a wedding gift?"

Gu Yikun said, "It’s to make up for the proposal gift I owe my wife. I missed giving her a proper proposal. I don’t want her to have any regrets about our relationship."

The host was so excited that his voice changed, "Is President Gu going to propose to Mrs. Gu here, in front of everyone?"

Gu Yikun looked in the direction of An Junxi, his eyes filled with deep affection, "Yes, I want her to say yes in front of everyone, promising never to leave my side no matter what happens. Without this ceremony, without everyone’s witness, I would feel very insecure."

Everyone thought they had misheard. Could President Gu actually feel insecure?

Without true love, who would say such a thing!

Mrs. Gu must have saved the world in her previous life to meet such a devoted, passionate, handsome, and wealthy husband in this life!

The host invited Mrs. Gu to the stage. At this moment, music began to play, and rose petals started drifting down from above, filling the air with the fragrance of flowers.

The atmosphere became both romantic and solemn. Everyone remained silent, not wanting to ruin the beautiful night.

People outside the venue made way on the red carpet, and the bright lights highlighted the luxurious, palace-like setting even more.

Gu Yikun stood at the end of the red carpet and said to her, "Xi Xi, come."

His magnetic voice echoed through the square through the microphone, completely enchanting the ladies present.

Just hearing his voice could make one swoon. And now, President Gu already had a wife, which was both touching and disheartening.

An Junxi didn’t know how to react. This surprise was beyond her expectations, and with so many people and cameras focused on her, she felt a bit faint.

Gong Xiaoyu and Secretary Wang, who were nearby, reminded her, "Go ahead, don’t keep the president waiting."

An Junxi couldn’t move, so Secretary Wang helped her take a few steps, saying, "I’ll let go now, you can go by yourself."

An Junxi stepped onto the red carpet under everyone’s gaze. Clad in a white dress, with skin as smooth as jade and eyes full of gentle glances, her presence exuded a delicate fragrance. Against the backdrop of the castle, she looked like a natural-born princess.

Everyone seemed to understand why President Gu was so deeply in love with her. Her gracefulness alone outshone many others.

An Junxi’s eyes were fixed on Gu Yikun, who stood at the end of the red carpet. With each step she took, she reflected on all they had been through. Finally reaching her own red carpet moment was no easy feat.

When she was a few steps away from Gu Yikun, An Junxi quickened her pace. Worried she might twist her ankle, Gu Yikun stepped forward to support her.

An Junxi’s palms were sweaty, and she couldn’t help but hug him tightly.

Applause erupted from the audience. This was like watching an idol drama, only better!

They could go back and tell others, "I witnessed it live. It was extraordinarily romantic." Just thinking about it made them puff up with pride.

Gu Yikun hugged An Junxi tightly, feeling her delicate body tremble a bit. He lowered his head and softly asked, "Are you scared?"

An Junxi, in his arms, said, "I’m so nervous, Yi Ke. This is too surprising."

Gu Yikun smiled, "Do you like it?"

Of course, An Junxi liked it, but she’d prefer such a surprise just once. She wasn’t very brave!

The host noticed the two of them reluctant to part from their embrace and finally reminded them, "President Gu must have other surprises for his wife, and we’re all eagerly looking forward to them!"

Gu Yikun held An Junxi’s hand and led her back to the center of the stage. Holding hands, he said, "I am very grateful to my wife. She is a good wife and a good mother. She made me realize how colorful life could be. If I hadn’t met her, I don’t know how much I would have lost, but my life would definitely be incomplete."

An Junxi held back her tears. Yi Ke was saying these things in front of so many people, something the old him would never have done.

This wasn’t the only thing he changed for her.

"When we got married, there were no flowers and no rings. This is my greatest regret. Only by loving her for a lifetime can I make up for it."

The host moved the microphone to An Junxi’s mouth, "What would Mrs. Gu like to say to President Gu?"

Everyone awaited Mrs. Gu’s response in silence, but An Junxi couldn’t speak. She looked up at Gu Yikun, and suddenly, they heard a clear, childish voice calling out, "Mommy!"

An Junxi instantly recognized it as Ai Xi’s voice.

She looked around for her daughter, who was standing at the other end of the red carpet. Gu Jin was wearing a cool little suit, holding his sister’s hand.

Gu Aixi was never afraid of crowds. She wore a snow-white princess dress and watched her mom excitedly with her brother.

Besides the two children, both sets of parents were there, wiping their tears while smiling at her. An Junxi couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.

All the people she loved were here, witnessing her happiest moment.

She finally realized that Yi Ke’s trip to Saint Petersburg wasn’t for business but to plan this surprise.

He had personally overseen every detail to ensure that this surprise was flawless. This thoughtfulness left An Junxi beyond words.

Gu Yikun wiped her tears, "This is a happy moment, don’t cry."

"Yi Ke, you’re doing this on purpose to make me cry."

Seeing mommy cry, Ai Xi turned to look at her grandparents and Liang Huiyun. Liang Huiyun handed her a box and said, "Baby, go with your brother and give this to mommy. Mommy will stop crying."

Gu Jinxiu held his sister’s hand and walked across the red carpet. Baby Ai Xi followed her brother through the crowd, and the guests couldn’t take their eyes off the two children, "What adorable kids!"

Ai Xi knew people were praising her, so she smiled at them, melting the hearts of everyone, "The baby smiled at me!"

"Is this President Gu’s daughter? She’s really beautiful!"

"So brave, too. Children from big families are truly different."

Gu Jinxiu was used to acting cool in public. He ignored the comments and walked his sister to the stage, looking every bit the responsible older brother.
