Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 644: Spin-off 20 Don’t Call Me Cute!

An Junxi knew that He Yiqing was more than just an ordinary desk mate to Jingxiu.

Back then, the incidents that struck the He Family were so sudden that when Jingxiu saw the empty home, his lost expression is something An Junxi still remembers to this day.

In the past few years, Jingxiu has hidden it well, never mentioning He Yiqing’s name to the family and just silently studying. He said he wanted to fulfill his promise.

An Junxi asked, "What promise? Who is it related to?"

She wanted to test what kind of feelings Jingxiu had for He Yiqing. At the time of the He Family’s misfortune, Jingxiu was not even ten years old. Such a young child wouldn’t understand affection, right?

She remembered that this kid used to dislike He Yiqing, always speaking sharply and dismissive, constantly saying that He Yiqing was stupid and had water in her brain. Fortunately, that girl had a good temperament, always following behind him calling, "Jin Xiu young master."

Gu Jingxiu did not answer, "Mom, why are you so nosy? Shouldn’t you be tutoring my brother? I saw him drawing cartoon pigs in his textbook."

An Junxi twisted his ear, "Don’t change the subject. How dare you call me nosy? Don’t come to me for help when dad scolds you later."

Gu Jingxiu’s cool image shattered, "Mom, no, I wasn’t calling you nosy!"

Mom was his ultimate shield. Dad was very...cough...respectful of mom, and she had saved him many times.

An Junxi let go of his ear, "Better know your place."

Aunt He came up with a fruit plate and couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene. The young master had grown up, but in front of his mom, he was still the same little kid.

"Young master, have some fruit before continuing your studies. This fruit is from the Yu Family farm, very fresh."

Gu Jingxiu had no interest in the fruit but had something to say about Aunt He’s attitude, "Aunt He, why are you laughing?"

Aunt He patted her apron, "Where? I’m not laughing."

Gu Jingxiu, reverting from a young teen to a little troublemaker, picked up a mirror and placed it in front of Aunt He, "Are you sure this isn’t laughing?"

The two people in the room were amused by his serious manner. An Junxi bent over laughing, "Aunt He, our Jingxiu is so cute."

The young man’s face suspiciously blushed, and he solemnly announced to the two adults, "Don’t call me cute! And stop pinching my ears!"

An Junxi raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?" Is this how you talk to your mom? Do you want a spanking?

Gu Jingxiu immediately corrected himself, "Mom, outside, you can’t pinch my ears. It’s so embarrassing!"

"Hahaha!"

An Junxi and Aunt He burst out laughing, making Gu Jingxiu so angry that he stomped his feet, "Fine, forget you two. I’m off to martial arts class!"

Aunt He laughed to the point of tears. The young master’s little stubborn act was too entertaining.

An Junxi laughed it off. She wouldn’t discipline her child in front of outsiders. A child’s self-esteem and pride need to be considered.

Since he was focused on his studies now, she didn’t want to bring up He Yiqing again and risk distracting him.

Gu Jingxiu was in the gym learning martial arts with his coach, while Gu Jingyue lounged nearby, "Bro, when are we going to Grandpa Yu’s to catch fish?"

Gu Jingyue also had tasks, but the coach couldn’t control him and didn’t dare to argue with the Gu family’s second young master, so he just let him play around the gym.

Gu Jingxiu was doing weighted squats when his brother’s words caused him to sway. He quickly steadied himself, reminding himself to stay focused and not be distracted by his brother.

His little brother was young and playful, but as the older brother, he had to set a good example.

Not getting a response from his brother, Gu Jingyue continued, "I told that American kid Nico in kindergarten that I can catch fish, but he didn’t believe me. One day, I’m going to record a video to prove it to him."

The serious training atmosphere was broken, and the coach gently suggested, "Jingyue young master, why don’t you go do your homework first?"

Gu Jingyue looked innocently at the coach, "Teacher, my homework fell into the pool. The servant just fished it out, so I can’t do it today!"

The coach’s dark face twitched. Wasn’t this kid just throwing it into the pool on purpose? He had his suspicions.

Gu Jingxiu put down the barbell, taking a few deep breaths, "Brother, mom will be angry if she finds out again."

"She won’t. I already apologized." A face full of sincerity.

Gu Jingxiu felt a headache coming on, "How many times have you apologized today?" He admitted he was mischievous as a child, but not to his brother’s extent.

Gu Jingyue said, "The second time. Mom says ’three strikes and you’re out.’"

Good boy, he sure knows how to find loopholes.

Gu Jingxiu told him to go play in the living room, but Gu Jingyue refused. He clenched his tiny fists, "I want to practice martial arts. I want to show those foreign kids at the school performance what Chinese martial arts are all about."

He went to an international school with kids from all over the world. Gu Jingyue felt he needed to master more skills than others to maintain his top position.

Besides, Little Moon would surely like him more when she sees how cool he is.

Gu Jingyue’s little brain came up with a bunch of chaotic ideas, and his confident air made the coach take a second look. He wondered if the young kid thought Chinese martial arts were too simple, as it’s not something you can claim to master with just a few moves.
