Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 379 When Did I Get a Younger Brother?
They said goodbye to Sister Chen and the familiar islanders. Gu Yikun held his daughter as they boarded the boat. Ai Xi had gotten a bit tanned, and Gu Yikun was very distressed, "My little princess, Daddy’s taking you back to the castle."
Ai Xi asked, "Back to what?"
"The castle, our home. In our home, Ai Xi can live carefree without sunburns or wind."
Ai Xi still didn’t quite understand. An Junxi quietly twisted Gu Yikun’s arm, "Are you going to raise our daughter in a greenhouse?" She hoped Ai Xi would grow up to be a strong lady, not too fragile.
Gu Yikun kissed her, "I want to raise you and our daughter both in a greenhouse."
An Junxi felt sweetness bubbling in her heart, though she feigned annoyance on her face, "You always say nice things. I’m no longer a flower."
"Who says that? My woman must be raised as a princess."
Gu Jinxi asked, "What about me, Dad?"
Gu Yikun said, "You are a man. You need to help take care of Mom and your sister in the future."
Gu Jinxi puffed his chest out with a sense of responsibility, "No problem! I can take care of a brother too! When will I have a brother?"
Gu Yikun immediately looked at An Junxi with a burning desire in his eyes.
They had been out for so many days, and aside from hugging and cuddling, there was practically no action. This was undoubtedly the cruelest torment for him. He had long been itching.
An Junxi blushed deeply from his gaze, and she pinched Gu Jinxi’s cheeks, "Who mentioned a brother?"
"Grandma did. Grandma asked if I wanted a brother, and I said I did."
Gu Jinxi never thought about where a brother came from, but Grandma said if he wanted a brother, he could have one, and he believed Grandma.
Gu Yikun raised the corner of his mouth and whispered in An Junxi’s ear, "It seems Mom is very supportive of a second child. Honey, let’s go home and practice."
An Junxi slapped him, "The kids are here!"
Gu Yikun laughed loudly, "We’re going home, and Dad has some business to attend to."
Gu Yikun went to the cockpit, and Gu Jinxi followed, "I want to learn to drive the yacht with Dad!"
The yacht had an automatic pilot system; once the initial settings were adjusted, it required minimal monitoring.
An Junxi was worried Gu Yikun wouldn’t teach, so she said, "Just let the child watch from the side."
Gu Yikun had no choice but to manually steer, "Watch closely."
An Junxi stayed in the room with the baby. Sister He organized the seafood that Sister Chen had given them and came to talk to An Junxi, "This family is really rare. If it were anyone else, they’d demand a high price from the young master."
Given the Gu family’s wealth, the young master wouldn’t care about a small amount of money, but the Chen family’s contentment was rare.
An Junxi looked out at the endless blue sea, "This small island is very clean, and the people are nice."
Sister Chen stood on the pier, watching the yacht sail away, unwilling to return to the house for a long time.
Chen Ming called her, vaguely asking, "Sis, I heard President Gu and his wife went to the island. Did Mrs. Gu say anything to you?"
Sister Chen walked into the house, "President Gu will help us find a doctor. We won’t have to travel around seeking treatment. We must repay the money we owe them slowly, but we must repay it."
Chen Ming said, "Owe them money, this..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Sister Chen scolded her brother, "Twenty thousand yuan is not a small amount. Adding other medical expenses, it’s more than I dare to think about. But we must repay it; otherwise, we won’t live in peace."
She had considered not having children, but without children, she couldn’t hold her head up for a lifetime. She really wanted to be a mother.
No matter how difficult, she was willing to take the risk. They couldn’t delay any longer. Pregnancy at an advanced age was too dangerous, and it wasn’t good for the child either.
Chen Ming felt relieved when he heard his sister mention twenty thousand. It seemed they hadn’t discussed everything openly. Mrs. Gu shouldn’t know about the extra forty thousand he pocketed, right?
If she knew, she would’ve confronted him by now.
Chen Ming comforted himself this way. Sister Chen continued to scold him, "Don’t ask for money from Jun Xi again. It’s so embarrassing."
Chen Ming argued, "You’ve been a great help to them. President Gu has so much money he couldn’t spend it in several lifetimes. This little money is nothing to them."
Sister Chen’s tone turned stern, "Mingzi, you’ve only been working in the big city for a few years, and you’ve already learned bad habits. People earn their own money. We have our own hands and legs; why take others’ money? These ideas will get you into trouble sooner or later!"
Seeing his sister was about to talk endlessly again, Chen Ming impatiently hung up, "I know."
Sister Chen looked at her phone and sighed heavily. She was most afraid of her brother being led astray by others, causing trouble by relying on the Gu family’s favor. President Gu wouldn’t always be so forgiving.
She hoped her brother had genuinely matured.
Chen Ming stood by the car, waiting for his boss. Suddenly, several thugs surrounded him, pulling out knives and threatening to scratch the car. Chen Ming pleaded, "Dear Brothers, this is my boss’s car! If you scratch it, I’ll lose my job! I’ll repay the money I owe you as soon as possible, I promise!"
The thugs dragged him into a corner, "Stop playing games. If you can’t repay the first installment within a week, we’ll break a leg. What do you say?"
Chen Ming stammered, "I-I can definitely repay it. I know the president of the Gu family. A few hundred thousand is pocket money to him..."
The thugs laughed wildly, "You know President Gu? Just because you’ve seen him on TV doesn’t mean you know him! You’re not even fit to polish his shoes! Don’t think you can fool us!"
Chen Ming swore, "I can definitely get the money. Please, give me a few more days."
The thugs beat him up and walked away, "We know you wouldn’t dare to play tricks!"
Chen Ming crawled up from the ground, painfully cleaned himself up in the restroom. Being the driver for a big boss, he had to maintain his appearance, or he’d lose his job for any small mistake.
His phone beeped with a notification, and when he saw the enormous amount, he nearly fainted.
The forty thousand he had taken from Mrs. Gu last time only covered the interest. How could he ask for more money from her?
United States.
Yu Chen found Zhang Miaoyan on the rooftop of the house.
Zhang Miaoyan had her head buried under a flower basket in a slightly delusional attempt to hide, repeatedly chanting in her mind, "You can’t see me, you can’t see me..."
Yu Chen unclasped his tie, "I can see you. Come out."
Zhang Miaoyan shivered, opening her eyes to see Yu Chen’s displeased face. Her initial fear quickly turned to anger.
What was she doing, hiding here as if she had done something wrong? She needed to stand up for herself!
She was supposed to be the one angry!
Zhang Miaoyan thought she couldn’t keep being oppressed by Yu Chen. She needed to turn the tables!
She raised her head to come out but bumped into the flower basket above, yelping in pain, "Ouch!"
Clutching her head, she crouched down, cursing herself for being so useless. She had planned to reclaim the advantage assertively, but she lost momentum instantly!
Waa waa waa, was she destined to lose to him for a lifetime?
