CHAPTER 420: CHAPTER 420: THE GRANDEUR OF THE LADY OF THE HOUSE

An Junxi chuckled, lightly punching Gu Yikun’s chest, "You know it’s a bad impression, yet with so many subordinates and reporters around yesterday, you still went out to buy a fat cat... Don’t you find yourself funny?"

President Gu’s picture with the fat cat went viral online, and An Junxi was worried her husband’s image as a domineering CEO would crumble.

Gu Yikun said, "I’m Ai Xi’s dad. Loving my daughter is only natural. If I get photographed, so be it."

An Junxi knew he was an impeccable father, "What’s your schedule this afternoon?"

Gu Yikun rested his chin on her small shoulder, "No schedule."

"Don’t lie to me, I heard Secretary Wang say you have a full day today."

Gu Yikun said, "I want to hold you and take a nap."

An Junxi helped him take off his tie, her small hands brushing his chest muscles, making Gu Yikun itch, "Wife, what are you doing?"

"Isn’t it time to sleep? Go change into your pajamas." They hadn’t slept all night, this couldn’t go on.

Gu Yikun obediently changed into comfortable pajamas, and An Junxi lay next to him on the bed, "Husband, if I hadn’t come to the company today, you wouldn’t have eaten, right? From now on, eat on time, no more stomach medicine."

Gu Yikun enjoyed her nagging, "Okay, I’ll listen to my wife."

"How’s Yue Xiaoyang doing now?"

"I heard he’s willing to cooperate with the treatment. He wants to return to the country, but I stopped him."

If Yue Xiaoyang returned like this, it would cause an uproar. The most worrying part is that Yin Handedong might use this to create headlines, which would be bad for both Teng Xia Industries and himself.

An Junxi sighed, "Senior and Yu Zheng are in a cold war, and Yu Zheng’s relationship with You Lifen is ambiguous. I really don’t know what they want."

Gu Yikun knew she cared a lot about Gong Xiaoyu, "Xi Xi, no matter how much you worry about Gong Xiaoyu, you can’t tell her about Xiaoyang’s situation. It’s too sensitive right now."

"Alright, I just don’t know what I can do for senior."

"Xi Xi, if these are challenges they must face, there’s nothing we can do. Don’t worry too much."

An Junxi decided not to discuss this for now. She found a comfortable position in his arms, "Go to sleep."

Gu Yikun held the familiar petite body and soon fell asleep.

Recently, An Junxi felt sleepy often. She slept for a long time, waking up thinking her biggest use might just be to accompany him to sleep.

Honestly, it felt a bit of a failure.

After a good nap, Gu Yikun felt refreshed. He canceled his afternoon schedule, held a short meeting with a few executives to delegate tasks, and then took his lovely wife out of the headquarters.

An Junxi sat in the car, "Are we going home now?"

"Yes, going home."

Gu Yikun was worried she might want to go back to her parents’ place and insisted on personally taking her home to feel at ease.

"What about your work?"

Gu Yikun was relaxed, "Just need to convey my instructions to the subordinates. The Gu Family doesn’t keep so many employees for nothing."

An Junxi didn’t want him to be too tired, "True, even the boss needs to rest."

Gu Yikun held her hand, "Wife, how many more days do you want to rest?"

An Junxi’s mind wandered somewhere, her cheeks turned red, "Stop thinking about..."

"About you?"

An Junxi looked out the car window, "I’m ignoring you."

Gu Yikun’s eyes were full of amusement. Flirting with his little wife daily was very fun.

When they got home, Aunt He saw them holding hands and felt relieved. Thank heavens, they weren’t fighting.

Little Ai Xi was sleeping, with the fat cat beside her crib, even covered with a small blanket, it was adorably cute.

Gu Yikun gently kissed his daughter’s little face. Her face was no bigger than his palm, looking at her made his heart soften.

An Junxi went back to their room with him. Gu Yikun checked the wardrobe and dresser, "Xi Xi, didn’t you bring anything back?"

An Junxi casually replied, "We’re not short of clothes here, I was too lazy to bring them, left them at mom and dad’s place."

Gu Yikun said, "Next time we go there for dinner, I’ll help you bring them back." Leaving clothes at her parents’ place, was she always ready to stay there?

An Junxi looked at him, "Never seen you care so much about my clothes."

Gu Yikun scratched his chin, "Hmm, you look better in that dress, it’s better to bring it back."

An Junxi took off her necklace and put it away, smiling secretly with her back to him, "Up to you."

How could she not know what he was thinking? She just wanted her husband to feel the urgency, not to fool her every day.

Privately, Gu Yikun instructed Aunt He to lock all the suitcases and bags in the storage room. He didn’t want to come home one day and find his wife had run away again.

It made him feel very nervous.

Aunt He did as told and murmured, "Why’s the young master getting dumb? Is this method useful?"

An Junxi didn’t notice her husband’s silly actions. She was planning the weekend’s birthday party.

She didn’t intend to make it a big event, just wanted to invite a few close friends. Liang Huiyun called her first, saying, "Ai Xi’s birthday must be grand. This is an opportunity for you to meet the relatives in the family and other matriarchs. In the future, I won’t have to deal with these, it’ll be up to you."

This meant her mother-in-law wanted to teach her how to manage the household.

This was something An Junxi couldn’t refuse. She also wanted to improve in this area; she couldn’t help Yikun much in business but had to handle social relations perfectly without causing him trouble.

Liang Huiyun said, "Let the butler handle party preparations. You focus on getting to know the guests beforehand, so you don’t call anyone by the wrong name."

An Junxi thought, she would never make such a rookie mistake.

"Alright, I’ll handle it seriously."

Liang Huiyun added, "Your father wants to come see Ai Xi and Jin Xiu, but he feels too embarrassed to come on his own. You call and say something nice to him, he’ll come."

An Junxi understood, "I’ll call him tonight."

Grandparents must attend Ai Xi’s birthday party. She set aside the family conflicts for now and clarified to her mother-in-law, "Auntie and Cheng Ye will come too. Mom, please make sure dad doesn’t scold auntie in front of the guests."

"He doesn’t want to air the family’s dirty laundry, don’t worry. Let’s see if the siblings can mend their relationship."

An Junxi certainly hoped her father could accept her aunt and Cheng Ye. She began to look forward to the party.

Just as they were about to hang up, Liang Huiyun suddenly said, "Recently, He’s Jewelry’s He Feng and Yin Handedong have been very close. Add He Sirui to the guest list."

An Junxi felt uneasy about inviting He Sirui here?

It’s like Liang Huiyun knew she was unhappy, she said, "You must have the tolerance of a matriarch. No matter how much you dislike He Sirui, you must be a good host. I don’t want He Feng and Yin Handedong to stir up trouble. It’s a party, but there’s much to observe."

An Junxi boldly said, "Mom, I originally wanted to quietly celebrate the child’s birthday with our family. If we need to socialize, we could find another excuse for a party."

"Of course not. Ai Xi’s birthday must be grand. Do you know how many rumors will spread if we don’t? At best, they’ll say the Gu Family favors sons over daughters. At worst, they’ll say you gave birth to a daughter who doesn’t get the family and husband’s respect. This is Ai Xi’s birthday, and also your social standing. Understand?"
