Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 446: The Nightmare is Too Real

You Ran said, "Got it. Don’t I know how twisted your husband is? He used to be so laid-back, now Gu Yikun has him cornered!"

"Come on, my husband’s not twisted."

"Jun Xi, do you think Gu Qianlan might have hired someone to follow me?"

"Hard to say. Have you seen the news about He Sirui and Yin Feibai? Gu Qianlan’s been acting really strange lately. She was grounded at home a while back, probably hasn’t had the mind to hire a private detective."

"Forget it. Doesn’t matter. I’m going abroad in a few days to get some inspiration. If I don’t produce some works soon, I’ll starve to death. Tell your husband to stop sabotaging my system, or else I’ll die in front of you."

He used to shoot whatever he wanted, now it’s all about making money. Damn it, it’s suffocating.

An Junxi heard how serious You Ran sounded, "Don’t do anything rash!"

You Ran said a few more words and then hung up. An Junxi immediately transferred money to him via online banking and sent a message for him to calm down.

You Ran replied with a single word, Okay.

An Junxi deleted the call history, feeling inexplicably guilty, not daring to face her husband that night.

Gu Yikun sensed something off with his wife, asking more than once, "Had a rough day at work?"

An Junxi dodged, "No, I’m just a bit tired."

Gu Yikun didn’t probe further, "Then rest at home for a few days, don’t go to the office yet."

"Okay."

As she lay in her husband’s arms, An Junxi felt a deep sense of guilt. Was it really right to hide this from Yi Ke?

Several times she wanted to tell Gu Yikun about it, but the words wouldn’t come out. You Ran was a sore spot for Yi Ke. If Yi Ke found out she was contacting You Ran in secret and even loaned him money, he would be furious.

The money she lent out was all given by Yi Ke. Her years of savings were spent on the Yuhua Mansion house. When she married him, she only had some emergency funds. Post-marriage, she never lacked money, and he never questioned how she spent it.

An Junxi wrestled with her thoughts for a long time and finally decided to keep it a secret. As long as she didn’t say anything, Yi Ke would never know.

Holding onto this secret, she slept fitfully, dreaming that Gu Yikun wanted a divorce and wouldn’t let her see Ai Xi.

She woke up in a cold sweat, "Yi Ke, don’t leave me!"

Gu Yikun woke up immediately and held her, "Had a nightmare? I’m here, don’t worry."

An Junxi still felt uneasy, clutching his shirt, "Yi Ke, don’t divorce me."

"Silly, why would I divorce you?"

Gu Yikun wiped the sweat from her forehead, seeing her face so pale, he tenderly kissed her, "I’m here. It’s okay, it was just a nightmare."

Feeling his warmth, An Junxi gradually calmed down.

The nightmare felt so real, she had an ominous feeling.

Gu Yikun said, "I’ll get you a glass of warm water."

An Junxi hugged him tighter, "No, I’m not thirsty."

Seeing how clingy she was, more so than their daughter, he knew she was really scared, "Alright, I won’t leave."

He coaxed her to lie down, and An Junxi snuggled closer to him, "Yi Ke, no matter what happens in the future, you can’t leave me, okay?"

Gu Yikun didn’t understand why she was acting so unusual today. He held her hand tightly, "Honey, I’ll be with you for the rest of our lives. Stop overthinking."

Listening to his steady heartbeat, An Junxi said, "Okay."

It took a long time for An Junxi to fall asleep again. The next morning, she started her period. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Gu Yikun thought her odd behavior last night was due to hormonal changes. He didn’t go to the office and stayed home with her, "Don’t overthink. Just rest well."

An Junxi, anxious and distracted, played with their child. When Ai Xi fell asleep and Gu Yikun went to the study to work, she sat beside him reading a book.

An Junxi couldn’t focus on her book, her eyes kept drifting to Gu Yikun’s face. Last night’s dream had her on edge. She was afraid this man would leave her.

He Sirui had been hiding out at home for a few days when a call from an unknown number came in. The person on the other end said, "You Ran discovered me and beat me up pretty badly. I followed the standard procedure to report and claim compensation. He quickly settled the claim. I suspect he borrowed the money from An Junxi."

He Sirui’s lifeless eyes sparked, "Can you find any evidence?"

"It’s tough. He’s planning to go abroad. I’m in the hospital now, unable to continue tailing him."

"Get your colleagues to find the evidence. If you get it, you’ll both receive double the pay."

The private detective said, "No problem." This line of work had its risks, but money made things work. With money, everything was possible.

He Sirui pulled open the room’s curtains, letting sunlight in. She covered her face with her hand.

She hadn’t seen the sun for days. An Junxi had made her too afraid to even step out of her room, go online, or meet anyone.

Unable to find Yin Feibai, she received this call in her despair, feeling it was orchestrated by fate.

An Junxi and Gu Yikun had ruined her, and she wanted them to taste this feeling!

The Gu Family Villa.

Their master bedroom had a new bed and carpet, and the servants purified the air in the room. It took a few days before An Junxi moved back in.

Considering her discomfort during her period, Gu Yikun had hardly gone to the office. Liang Huiyun heard the CEO was on break and, thinking something was wrong, decided to come for lunch.

An Junxi knew her parents were coming and stood by the door waiting for them. She didn’t expect Gu Qianlan to come too.

Gu Qianlan still didn’t pay much attention to An Junxi, but at least she wasn’t glaring. She sat quietly in the living room.

An Junxi felt Gu Qianlan had changed. Betrayed by two friends in succession, she knew the impact on Gu Qianlan was significant.

Liang Huiyun played with her granddaughter while Gu Kuangyong and Gu Yikun went to the study.

They talked in the study for a long time, only coming down for lunch.

An Junxi helped make two dishes. Liang Huiyun thought they were pretty good, "Not bad."

She was mainly worried that the couple might have issues because of He Sirui. Yi Ke rarely neglected his work. Seeing everything was fine upon arrival, she felt relieved.

After lunch, Gu Qianlan unusually said to Gu Yikun, "Brother, I want to talk to you."

Gu Yikun accompanied her to the garden outside, "Go ahead."

Gu Qianlan tugged at her brother’s sleeve, "Brother, have I embarrassed you?"

Gu Yikun used to dote on his sister, and that hadn’t changed. He only appeared stern because he wanted to set high standards for her.

He raised his hand to ruffle her hair, "It’s good that the princess is reflecting on herself. Not bad."

Gu Qianlan lowered her head, "Wherever I fall, I will get back up. Brother, don’t send me abroad. I want to stay home."

Seeing her shadow in He Sirui’s news and having her old issues brought up again, Gu Qianlan knew many were waiting to laugh at her. She didn’t want to hide from them anymore.

This time, Gu Yikun was quite agreeable, "Okay."

"Really, brother?"

"Yes, really."

Seeing a smile on her brother’s face, Gu Qianlan’s nose turned red. She thought her brother would never love her again, but now, her brother was back.
