Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 444: President Gu, I’m Very Expensive
It was the beginning of autumn, and the evening breeze was slightly cool. Gu Yikun draped a cloak over An Junxi’s shoulders. He held her as the two quietly watched the night sky.
The night was very peaceful. She leaned into his warm embrace, and everything seemed perfect.
Gu Yikun broke the silence, "Xi Xi, tomorrow we’ll change the bed and carpet in the room. You can redecorate it. If you still feel unhappy, we can move. We have plenty of houses; we can live anywhere."
An Junxi coquettishly replied, "Am I that unreasonable? Just change the bed and carpet, clean up, and get some fresh air in. That’s enough."
Gu Yikun laughed and said, "My dear wife is so accommodating this time; I’m a bit scared."
An Junxi looked up at him, "You’d better keep your distance from those women in the future. Tonight, I saw many women eyeing you. President Gu, you’re quite popular."
"Really? I didn’t notice."
An Junxi wrinkled her nose, "That’s a bit irritating of you to say."
Gu Yikun kissed her forehead, "I don’t look at anyone else; I only look at my wife."
An Junxi was a bit satisfied, "Honey, I thought you’d only punish He Sirui tonight. Why did you drag Yin Feibai into it?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Gu Yikun began to frown, "Are you speaking on his behalf? Yin Feibai held your hand; I’m already being kind for not making him lose a limb."
An Junxi felt a chill and didn’t dare to mention Yin Feibai again, "Honey, I’m cold."
Gu Yikun hugged her tighter, "Are you still cold like this?"
An Junxi blushed, "Not cold anymore."
Gu Yikun tapped her nose, "You’re so quirky, our daughter is quite like you in this aspect."
An Junxi giggled, "Does President Gu not like such a wife?"
"I do. I like it a lot. I like you down to my bones."
An Junxi was genuinely embarrassed, "We’ve been married for so long, and you’re still so smooth-tongued."
Gu Yikun asked a soul-searching question, "I’ve only known you for a bit over three years, of which two years you abandoned me. How is that long?"
An Junxi felt a pang of guilt, "Don’t be like that, honey. I didn’t do it on purpose."
"I don’t blame you. It was my fault for not protecting you both. Xi Xi, I’ll never let such a thing happen again."
"You’ve already assigned a team of bodyguards to protect my parents. Who would dare provoke President Gu?"
Gu Yikun carried her inside, "You just keep sweet-talking. If Ai Xi weren’t sleeping here, I would..." His eyes lingered on her chest.
An Junxi slipped onto the bed, "Go to sleep."
They were woken up early in the morning by little Ai Xi. The baby’s clock was very punctual. She would usually need to sleep a bit more after breakfast, so An Junxi and Gu Yikun adjusted their schedule for her.
Little Ai Xi sat between her parents, kissing her dad and then her mom, "Morning."
Gu Yikun opened his eyes and lifted their daughter, "Baby, you wake up so early every day. You disturb mommy."
The baby giggled, "Higher, higher."
An Junxi was still a bit sleepy. Gu Yikun let her sleep a bit more. An Junxi got up, turned on her phone, and checked the news. It was filled with negative news about He Sirui.
"Potato Caterpillar" had provided the photos, which triggered a flood of comments. It didn’t take long for the media to start publishing eye-catching reports. This incident with He Sirui was even more explosive than Gu Qianlan’s scandal over two years ago.
Some netizens claimed that Tao Manqiu had harshly scolded He Sirui on the spot, questioning Yin Handedong about his connection with Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu and Yin Handedong’s past relationship was also dug up, making the situation even more convoluted.
Some even speculated wildly, "Could Jiang Liu and Yin Handedong be secretly seeing each other? Could Yin Handedong and He Sirui be siblings?"
"Oh my, isn’t that incest?"
An Junxi couldn’t bear to look any further. He Sirui had been carried out last night, badly beaten by Gu Qianlan. Waking up to find herself at the center of a scandal storm, would she dare face anyone?
She marveled repeatedly. First, Gu Yikun acted last night, and then Jin Xiu delivered a heavy blow... She didn’t even have time to do anything, as the two men had already taken action on her behalf.
Gu Yikun was playing with their daughter. An Junxi handed him the phone, "Yi Ke, take a look."
Gu Yikun took the phone, slid a few times, and his face immediately darkened, "The photo’s angle is from our surveillance. Who leaked the photo?"
An Junxi said, "Potato Caterpillar is me. He Sirui was lying on our bed, I was too angry."
Gu Yikun’s displeasure vanished instantly, "It’s okay. It’s fine even if it’s leaked."
An Junxi noticed his calm demeanor. Was he just going to let it slide? What if he knew it was Jin Xiu who caused the trouble, how would he react?
"Yi Ke, is it really okay?"
"It’s fine. I just wanted to drag the two together. Now that He Sirui’s disgraceful photos are out, it will be difficult for her to marry into the Yin family."
An Junxi asked, "Why do you want to bring them together? Aren’t you afraid of an alliance between the Yin and He families?" This was what his mother-in-law worried about the most.
"It’s better if they do form an alliance. There’s a saying that there’s no eternal enemy, except for the Yin and He families. If they marry, it would save me some trouble."
An Junxi didn’t know the inside story, but she trusted Gu Yikun’s judgment, "Then what should we do? Should we help them out?"
"Let’s wait and see. He Sirui is vengeful. If she contacts you, don’t respond, and definitely don’t meet her in private, got it?"
An Junxi lay on his lap, "Got it, President Gu."
Gu Yikun said, "I’m doing this for your own good... No, you have to come with me to the office. You’re too disobedient. Leaving you at home makes me uneasy. How about being my assistant?"
An Junxi sat up, "President Gu, do you want to hire me? I’m very expensive."
Gu Yikun squinted his eyes, "How expensive?"
An Junxi’s eyes shifted, "Well, this..."
Gu Yikun pulled her over and kissed her, "I wonder about Assistant An’s capabilities. I need to evaluate you for a day."
An Junxi glared at him, "What, even a day’s salary will be docked?"
Gu Yikun teased, "How about a romantic lunch and a nap with me, does that suffice?"
An Junxi pulled up her nightgown, "No way."
Little Ai Xi crawled around the bed, spotted a phone next to her dad, and crawled over to look. One glance and she started crying, "Waaa~ pig head!"
Gu Yikun quickly moved the phone away, "My little princess, scared by He Sirui’s photo!"
An Junxi laughed heartlessly, "Hahaha, Ai Xi is usually so brave but got scared to tears."
Gu Yikun busied himself comforting their daughter, and he lightly slapped An Junxi’s forehead, "Stop laughing, our daughter is crying, it breaks my heart."
An Junxi found it genuinely funny. Now He Sirui’s embarrassing photos were being widely circulated. Even if He Sirui wanted to hire someone to delete them, it was impossible. This was destined to be a lifelong disgrace for her.
An Junxi laughed until she cried, "Honey, I’m in a great mood today. I’ll be your assistant for a day for free, no salary needed."
