Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 675: Extra 51 - The Rare World of Just the Two of Us
An Junxi was busy with her feet barely touching the ground. She had transitioned from the education industry to the entertainment industry and had a lot to learn. Returning home at night, she was too tired to move, making Gu Yikun very displeased.
"Xi Xi, I let you go to Wanling to pass the time, not to become a workaholic, you’re neglecting your husband."
An Junxi had just finished reading storybooks with the kids and returned to the bedroom. She really didn’t want to move another inch. "Husband, I want to do a good job. I can’t just sit in the management position without contributing." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Gu Yikun gave her a playful slap on the butt, "If I had known you’d be under so much pressure, I wouldn’t have let you go to Wanling."
An Junxi snuggled into her husband’s arms, "Hmm, it’s still most comfortable lying in my husband’s embrace."
Gu Yikun had no more complaints, "If you tire yourself out, your husband will feel distressed."
An Junxi said, "I’m tired, but I feel accomplished, and I’m very happy."
The couple sat on the sofa chatting. Gu Yikun really enjoyed this moment of peace. He played with her hair, "Don’t overwork yourself."
"You come down five floors every day to monitor me. People at the company don’t even dare to let me do anything."
"You still dare have objections?"
"No objections, no objections," An Junxi hugged her husband’s waist obsequiously, "I’ll listen to President Gu."
Gu Yikun looked down at his little kitty in his arms and kissed her lips, "You say that nicely, but you never actually listen to me."
An Junxi felt embarrassed, "I always respect President Gu’s opinions at the company."
"Really?"
An Junxi suddenly became serious, "Husband, I want to discuss something with you."
"So serious, okay, tell me."
"I want to go to Lianshan County with the program team. We’re going to shoot a reality show."
Gu Yikun refused outright, "No way, don’t even think about it."
An Junxi acted spoiled, "But I really want to go. It’s the program I’m responsible for."
Gu Yikun turned his head away, "Being spoiled won’t help. The conditions there are poor, and you get carsick. What if you feel unwell? Besides, can you bear to leave your husband and kids behind?"
An Junxi saw he was making it sound so serious, "This is a business trip, I won’t be going alone. There will be many people in the program team, and there will be doctors in the group."
Gu Yikun asked about the guest list for the reality show. An Junxi casually mentioned the names of two trending young stars, and Gu Yikun’s face turned as black as coal, "An Junxi, are you planning to develop feelings for someone else?"
An Junxi felt speechless, "What kind of logic is that? When you go on business trips, I’m never worried about you, hmph."
Gu Yikun bit her lip hard, "You’re not allowed to go anywhere, stay at home."
"No, I want to go."
Gu Yikun didn’t agree, and An Junxi couldn’t persuade him. That night, she slept with her back to him, not giving him a proper look.
Gu Yikun had no choice. He domineeringly pulled her into his arms, "When are you going? I’ll have Secretary Wang arrange the trip, and I’ll go with you."
An Junxi smiled sneakily, he was willing to go. If President Gu was on site, it would be easier to get him on camera.
Gu Yikun, smart as he was, couldn’t guess that he had fallen into his wife’s trap. He didn’t dare to upset his wife and had Secretary Wang clear a few days in his busy schedule.
The program team set off as scheduled. An Junxi stayed at the company to arrange other matters. She managed the household and told the children, "Dad and Mom are going on a business trip for a few days. You must behave at home, okay? Jingxiu, you have to take care of your brothers and sisters."
Gu Jingxiu said coolly with his hands in his pockets, "Are you really going on a business trip, and not leaving us to go on a date?"
An Junxi knocked on his head, "It’s really a business trip. Mom never lies."
Gu Jingxiu wasn’t afraid of his mom, "A business trip, yet Dad has to go too. Mom really doesn’t make it easy."
Gu Jingyue mimicked his brother, "Exactly, Xi Xi, you’re really hopeless!"
An Junxi gave each brother a light smack, "Such disrespect, dare to reprimand your mom."
These two kids were getting harder to manage as they grew older. They often reversed roles and lectured her, making An Junxi question her own age.
Still, daughters were better. Ai Xi was a sweet little angel, never causing her any trouble.
The three kids saw their parents off. This was the first time Dad and Mom had gone on a business trip together without them.
Ai Xi clung to Nanny He’s arms, "I miss Dad and Mom, boo hoo..."
Nanny He sympathized and comforted the little princess. She glanced over and saw Gu Jingyue, like a wild horse, running around the hall and shouting liberation slogans, clearly very happy about it.
The butler and maids went on high alert. The Young Master and Young Madam were not at home, and no one could control this little tyrant.
Nanny He sighed silently. The difference between boys and girls really was huge.
Gu Aixi’s summer courses were few. The teacher had come for a couple of English classes and then there were no other assignments. With Mom not home, she pulled her brother to play with dolls, "Brother, do you think the blue dress or the pink dress looks better?"
Gu Jingxiu, a doting brother, couldn’t tell the difference between the two dresses. He pointed randomly, "Blue."
Gu Aixi asked, "Why does it look good?"
Gu Jingxiu’s handsome face twitched a bit. He had no idea why it looked good.
After a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence, "The style looks good."
Gu Aixi was satisfied and dressed the doll in the skirt. Gu Jingxiu quietly read a book, but after a while, his sister asked again, "Brother, which hairpin looks better?"
Gu Jingxiu took a deep breath and called his brother over, "You play dolls with Ai Xi."
Gu Jingyue picked up a doll and within seconds had dismantled it into several pieces, "Like this?"
Gu Aixi cried out, "Boo hoo, you owe me a doll!"
Gu Jingxiu hurriedly threw away his book, "Ai Xi, brother will buy you a new one... Don’t cry, heaven’s sakes, Mom, come back soon!"
The Gu family was in chaos, Grandma and Grandpa were still at Xin’an. Nanny He and the maids couldn’t handle the situation and she sought help from Zhang Miaoyan, "Miao Yan, come over quickly. If possible, bring Little Moon, we’re about to have a showdown here!"
At that moment, An Junxi and her husband were on their way. The couple had been a bit awkward for the past two days but had made up. The awkwardness felt like teasing and flirting, and they were as sweet as newlyweds, enjoying their rare time alone and completely oblivious to the upheaval at home.
