Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO
Chapter 426: Keep Something in Reserve for Yourself
CHAPTER 426: CHAPTER 426: KEEP SOMETHING IN RESERVE FOR YOURSELF
Gu Yikun remained calm, teasing his wife as he continued eating with ease. An Junxi really wanted to punch him.
Luckily, no one heard it, otherwise, he’d be sleeping in the study tonight!
An Junxi was a principled person; her husband was really too bold and presumptuous. Where was the old Gu Yikun?
As dinner was finishing, Liang Huiyun finally asked, "Where’s that girl Qian Nuan?"
Gu Kuangyong also said, "When did she go back?"
Gu Yikun leisurely replied, "She didn’t want to have dinner, so she left early."
They didn’t mind, Liang Huiyun casually said, "That girl is really hard to handle."
An Junxi’s tension dissipated. Gu Qianlan got tricked by her, but luckily, her parents didn’t care.
After dinner, the two elders played with their grandchildren for a while. The little baby was tired, yawning but refusing to sleep. "Grandpa, Nai Nai, stay here."
Gu Kuangyong of course wanted to stay here. He cherished his reputation; this suburban villa was invested and built by Gu Yikun himself. There were many rooms, but none reserved for them. Where would they stay?
He pretended to be cool, saying, "Grandpa and Nai Nai have to go back, we’ll come and play with Ai Xi another day."
When children feel sleepy, they just fall asleep. After coaxing the child to sleep, An Junxi and Gu Yikun saw the two elders off to their car.
After the car drove away, Gu Yikun held her hand for a walk outside, "Xi Xi, thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?"
"Because you’re by my side, because you’re in this home."
An Junxi didn’t understand. She leaned her body weight against him, "Hubby, carry me."
The weather tonight was great, a little cool, with bright moonlight, perfect for romance.
An Junxi sometimes thought, she and Gu Yikun never experienced the dating phase and went straight into marriage, always feeling something was missing.
Gu Yikun bent down to carry her. An Junxi lay on his strong back, enjoying, "Hubby, this is the first time you’ve carried me."
Gu Yikun turned his face and gently touched her forehead, "Do you want me to carry you? I can carry you every day."
An Junxi said, "In a few years, you’ll hate this, not wanting me to cling to you all day."
Gu Yikun stopped and, in a cool tone, said, "If you keep saying things like that, I’ll throw you into the pool to wake you up."
They just happened to walk by the pool, and An Junxi, afraid he might really throw her in, held his neck tightly, "Hubby, are you annoyed with me already?"
Gu Yikun’s face turned red, "An Junxi, are you trying to commit murder?"
An Junxi quickly let go, apologizing, "Sorry, I got a bit excited."
Gu Yikun turned and walked into the house, where the maids were tidying up. An Junxi asked him to put her down, but he didn’t, carrying her straight up to the third floor.
The maids looked down, not daring to look around. Since the young master got married, he seemed to have multiple personalities, and they couldn’t get used to it.
Gu Yikun placed An Junxi on the bed, which was a dangerous place. He took off his shirt, "Wifey, I noticed you still doubt my feelings for you. Do you want hubby to prove it to you?"
His muscles made An Junxi both love and fear him; she didn’t dare provoke him, "Hubby, you just did it last night..."
Gu Yikun grinned roguishly, "Once last night, how could that satisfy me?"
An Junxi was immensely frustrated; she didn’t want to discuss this every day!
The next day, after her husband went to work, An Junxi was woken up by her daughter. Nanny He came in carrying Ai Xi, "Ai Xi wants Mommy to hold her."
An Junxi got out of bed. Nanny He glanced at her and uneasily said, "I’ll go prepare some food for Ai Xi."
An Junxi looked down at herself; she was wearing pajamas!
The little baby pointed at her neck, "Mommy, it hurts."
An Junxi walked to the mirror. Sure enough, she’d been "stamped" by her husband again.
An Junxi pounded the table, Gu Yikun, why do you always have to leave marks in such obvious places!
She told the child, "It doesn’t hurt, it’s just... Mommy’s a little thirsty, and that’s why this happens."
The little baby understood, "Drink water."
"Okay, Mommy will go drink water."
An Junxi wanted to go to the closet to find clothes and found a set of autumn clothes with a collar placed on her dresser.
Gu Yikun had left her a note: Wear this today; it’s a bit chilly. Don’t eat cold foods.
Normally, An Junxi would sneak a small cup of ice cream and always get caught by him.
Seeing her husband knew how to match her clothes showed some sincerity; she forgave him.
She changed clothes, fed the child, and taught the child to make up stories by looking at pictures.
Her main focus now was developing the child’s language skills. Since she wasn’t working, she wanted to spend as much time with the child as possible.
Near noon, An Junxi received a call, "Jun Xi, I want to see you."
An Junxi said, "Yin Feibai, I have nothing to say to you."
Yin Feibai said, "After returning to the country, I visited my cousin."
An Junxi didn’t want to mention Liu Zhiwen, the woman who caused her so much pain, "So?"
"Jun Xi, Zhi Wen once asked me for help. I ignored her. Now, seeing her living worse than a ghost, I’m really sad."
"Yin Feibai, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Jun Xi, I didn’t interfere to save her back then because the person she offended was you. Do you know how much I care about you?"
An Junxi found it amusing, "Yin Feibai, many people care about me."
"Jun Xi, you must think I’m not as capable as Gu Yikun, which is why you chose him. I don’t blame you... Let’s meet, I have something to say to you."
"No need, I’m very busy."
"Let’s talk about Jin Xiu. My parents want Jin Xiu to come back more often. He has our Yin Family’s blood; that’s an undeniable fact. I don’t want Jin Xiu to know the grudges between adults. If you don’t want the child involved in this mess, you’d better come and talk to me."
An Junxi said, "Are you threatening me?"
"I’m not threatening you, just giving you a choice."
"I’ll go, where?"
"Xingxia Hotel. Come alone, I don’t want to see Gu Yikun."
If it weren’t for Gu Yikun, he’d still be in the United States investigating the loopholes in Tengxia Industrial, instead of being ordered back by his father, unable to handle company affairs.
What right did Gu Yikun have to interfere with their Senye Group?
"Jun Xi, I’ll be waiting for you here at 3 pm."
An Junxi looked at her phone; Ai Xi’s birthday was approaching. She wanted to celebrate happily and didn’t want any complications.
But she also didn’t want the Yin Family to keep bothering Jin Xiu. Jin Xiu was sensible now, and it wouldn’t be good for the child to know about the grudges between adults.
She asked Nanny He to look after Ai Xi, packed her things, and before leaving, put a small recording pen in her bag.
No matter what Yin Feibai wanted to say, she had to protect herself, not get smeared, avoid causing trouble for Yi Ke, and prevent any misunderstandings.
