Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 678: Side Story 54 Progress Isn’t Bad

The tension between the two of them lessened a bit. You Lihao was quite patient with the children. At first, the children were afraid of him and only spoke to Sister Zhi Zhi. Zhi Zhi said, "Don’t be afraid of this uncle, he looks fierce, but he’s really nice."

You Lihao asked, "I look fierce?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Zhi Zhi said, "You look very fierce when you frown." To be honest, it’s not fierceness, it’s the strong aura that makes people feel distant.

You Lihao tried to be gentle. He first demonstrated his skills, casually sketching a landscape painting. Zhi Zhi and the children were mesmerized.

You Lihao felt a bit smug, "How is it? Not bad, right?"

Zhi Zhi said, "I didn’t know you could paint."

"There are many things you don’t know. I have a basketful of talents."

Zhi Zhi had to admit, he did have many merits. They had been entangled for years without any outcome. Four years ago, he almost caused her a car accident and said he would do his best to make it up to her.

He didn’t realize how much his words hurt her. Was his feeling for her just a sense of responsibility?

She lost many opportunities due to her injury. It took her two years to recover from her wounds and regain what she had lost in the public eye.

During this time, she realized that he was serious about not marrying an artist.

He always had actresses around him and never truly cared for anyone.

By the time Zhi Zhi wanted to pull her heart back, it was too late. She could only try to hide her feelings, yet Lifei told her not to give up. "Zhi Zhi, only you can change my brother. Don’t give up on him."

But saying it was easy, Zhi Zhi didn’t know how many times she felt disappointed.

She wanted to get along with him like friends, but there was always something odd between them. His attitude towards her was always impatient and rude, making it hard for her to remain gentle.

In these reality shows, even knowing there were cameras everywhere, he still had no patience for her.

The one most worried was You Lifen. Both her brother and Zhi Zhi were clueless about the true intention of the show. Their performance was so-so, how could there be any sparks?

Zhi Zhi focused on teaching the children to paint. At first, both of them treated it as a task, but after spending half a day with the children, their innocence calmed the two restless hearts, making them genuinely want to teach.

The children started to admire the big brother who could paint. You Lihao said to Zhi Zhi, "These little rascals, they called me uncle earlier, now they call me big brother."

Zhi Zhi said, "They like you, that’s why they call you big brother."

You Lihao placed a blade of foxtail grass on her head, "You call me big brother too."

Zhi Zhi chased after him to hit him, "You call me big sister first!"

An Junxi and Gu Yikun heard their playful banter before they even got there. An Junxi beamed, seeing that they were making good progress!

Gu Yikun saw the painting tools and said, "Let me paint something for you."

You Lifen was anxious on the side. If President Gu started painting, wouldn’t that steal her brother’s thunder?

She said, "Jun Xi, it’s almost dinner time. We need to find our own ingredients. How about you and President Gu..."

Gu Yikun sensed something was up, "Isn’t that what the guests are supposed to do?" How dare they ask him to find ingredients; he wasn’t even part of this reality show.

An Junxi pulled her husband away, "Let’s go help out, Yi Ke. I want to experience it."

Gu Yikun said, "Why is the camera following us?"

An Junxi looked around, "Uh, well..."

Being smart, Gu Yikun quickly understood, "Mrs. Gu, I see you deliberately brought me here to get some camera time."

An Junxi scrambled for excuses, but Gu Yikun dotingly said, "I’ll cooperate then. No need for such elaboration. What do you want me to do?"

You Lifen exclaimed, "Jun Xi, your husband spoils you rotten."
