Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 378: The Self-Awareness of a Married Man
An Junxi heard Gu Yikun call himself a "man heaven and earth can attest to", and she huffed angrily, "You men are all the same, completely unaware that you’re married, always bringing home trouble, making people angry!"
"You men? Who?"
"Yu Chen! He secretly took a female subordinate from the company to the United States on a business trip without telling Miao Yan, and Miao Yan caught him red-handed in the hotel in the United States! Don’t you think that’s too much?"
"Too much, really too much," Gu Yikun soothed his wife’s agitated emotions and gently asked, "Is Zhang Miaoyan still in the United States? Did she tell you anything else?"
He was unsure if Zhang Miaoyan had met Xiaoyang.
They had kept Xiaoyang’s injuries very well hidden, and the outside world knew nothing. The fewer people aware, the safer it would be for Tengxia Industries.
They needed to prepare on both fronts before the news reached the outside world to prevent stock price fluctuations and business impact. The main point now was to buy time.
If Yin Feibai got hold of any information and agitated Tengxia Industries’ shareholders to pressure Yue Xiaoyang into showing his face, it wouldn’t just be bad for Yue Xiaoyang’s personal recovery, it would also have a considerable impact on Tengxia Industries and even the Gu Family.
Gu Yikun was now most worried that Zhang Miaoyan might know something, and even more worried that she might leak the news.
An Junxi heard him ask like that and said warily, "Why do you fear she’d tell me something else? Do you have any secrets you’re hiding from me in the United States?"
Gu Yikun was relieved; her asking this meant Zhang Miaoyan hadn’t mentioned Xiaoyang to her.
Without another word, he lowered his head and kissed her, "I have no secrets from you at all."
An Junxi was kissed until she was dizzy and confused, lying in his arms, panting, she completely forgot what she had wanted to ask.
She pinched his chest muscles, "Always using this trick! Where was I just now?"
Gu Yikun smirked, "You said you were tired and wanted to sleep."
He assisted her in lying down and covered her with a blanket, "I’ll go get a drink of water; are you thirsty?"
"Not thirsty."
"Alright, you sleep first."
Gu Yikun walked out of the room, heading to the deck, and took out his phone to call Xie Yuchen, "Yuchen, where are you? Your wife just called Jun Xi, did she meet with Xiaoyang in the United States?"
Xie Yuchen, who was frantically searching an entire building without any sight of Zhang Miaoyan, replied furiously, "We’re in the manor now, and she did meet Xiaoyang."
Gu Yikun leaned against the railing, "Convince her to keep this confidential. I received information that Yin Feibai is also in the United States. Keep an eye on him."
"Understood."
"Contact me if there’s any situation."
After hanging up, Gu Yikun thought for a moment before sending a message to Zha Zhuoxin, "Get me the latest information on Senye Group’s partners for tomorrow."
He went back inside the boat, checked on the kids first, and then returned to the room, where An Junxi was lying, waiting for him, "Why did it take you so long?"
Gu Yikun got into bed, and An Junxi moved into his arms proactively. With his small wife in his embrace, he rubbed her hair, "I went to check on the kids. Sleep now."
An Junxi, lying on his chest, said, "Hubby, Sister Chen is reluctant to accept our help. I want to spend more time persuading her. Can you find an expert for treating infertility? I want to help her."
Sister Chen had heard some gossip on the island, saying that she had clung to a big family and would soon become rich, but Sister Chen was a simple person who didn’t want things to change to make it look like she was really seeking benefits from the Gu Family.
An Junxi knew that wherever there are people, there will be some sort of gossip. This wasn’t really an issue; it was just that Sister Chen took these words too seriously and needed to be slowly dissuaded.
Gu Yikun said, "As long as Sister Chen and her husband cooperate with the examination, medical resources will not be a problem at all."
The Chen Family had taken care of them, and just for that, he should help them out.
An Junxi hugged him, "Thank you, hubby, you’re the best."
"Thank you for what? Are you looking for punishment?"
"No, please no!"
The next morning, An Junxi found time to talk to Sister Chen about the issue. Persuaded by her, Sister Chen agreed, "Jun Xi, I’m just afraid of owing your family. I asked the doctor, and it requires a lot of money."
To the Gu family, it might be nothing, but to an ordinary family like them, it would be unpayable in a lifetime.
"Yikun never thought of having you pay it back. Sister Chen, not everything can be measured in money. Don’t argue over this with us, or we won’t know how to thank you."
Sister Chen wiped her hands and said, "I’ll call my husband. He’s been worrying over it."
Seeing a smile on Sister Chen’s face, An Junxi felt joyful too.
They had come to Oshi Island, fulfilling a wish.
An Junxi planned to stay a few more days there. Liang Huiyun wanted to see her two grandchildren and called An Junxi, "It’s almost time to come home."
An Junxi vaguely heard Gu Qianlan’s voice on the phone, "I don’t know what she’s thinking. Doesn’t she know her brother is busy? Expecting him to accompany her everywhere, it’s just..."
The voice gradually faded, perhaps her mother-in-law stopped her.
An Junxi suspected that she had offended Gu Qianlan in a past life; Gu Qianlan seized any chance to put a label on her.
She said, "Alright, we’ll be back soon."
They had been there for four or five days, and An Junxi also worried that Yikun’s workload might pressure him.
Knowing they were returning to Yan City, Sister Chen prepared many local specialities for them to take onto the yacht, mainly various dried seafood, "I know your family lacks nothing. This is just a little token from me, all homemade, nothing added, pure green food. Please don’t refuse."
Nanny He wanted to be polite, but An Junxi accepted everything without hesitation, "I love these! Thank you, Sister Chen!"
Gu Jinxiu didn’t particularly like these dried goods, finding their taste a bit odd, but as a little gentleman, he naturally didn’t express his dislike, "I like them too, thank you, Aunt Chen."
Baby Ai Xi, imitating her brother, also thanked, and Sister Chen really liked the siblings, "I’ll miss you two so much."
An Junxi said, "You and Brother Chen can visit Yan City when you have time. We’ll also come again."
Sister Chen hugged the two children, "Study hard when you go back, and come again during the holidays, okay?"
Gu Jinxiu really liked the small island. The children here could go into the sea to fish, something he admired a lot, "We will."
Before departing for Yan City, Gu Jinxiu went to say goodbye to his little friends, giving each one a small gift, "I’ll come again after my holiday."
The children, with tear-brimmed eyes, moved An Junxi’s heart.
Who would have thought that the normally cold little master from Yan City would make good friends on this small island? It was such a pleasant surprise.
