Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 106 His Gift

Sister Li saw that An Junxi was so nervous and said, "No, it’s just that Auntie has higher standards. Auntie is a well-known fashion designer, and the clothes you’re wearing today were personally designed by her. They’ll be delivered shortly. If the clothes don’t look good, Auntie might not be very pleased."

An Junxi understood. Gu Yikun’s aunt, Gu Kuangyuan, was the precious daughter born to his grandfather in his later years and was only a few years older than Gu Yikun. She was very pampered in the family.

Gu Kuangyuan went abroad to study when she was very young. She was talented and versatile, and whether it was her looks or her skills, she was outstanding among the prominent families.

Auntie hasn’t gotten married yet, but An Junxi didn’t know much about the reasons why. She just assumed that an outstanding woman has very high standards in all aspects and would have the same high standards for her partner.

It was said that Gu Kuangyuan was even pickier than Mrs. Gu in many ways. When Mrs. Gu mentioned Gu Kuangyuan, her tone was very flat, and she summed it up in a few words. An Junxi guessed that Gu Kuangyuan was probably a difficult person to get along with.

She touched her own waist, took a few bites of food, then reluctantly put down her chopsticks and told Sister Li, "One more apple will do." She didn’t dare to eat any more.

Sister Li felt a bit sorry for her and said, "That’s too little. Go ahead and finish the rest. Otherwise, you’ll hurt your stomach, and the young master will blame me."

An Junxi drank half a cup of plain water. "It’s okay, I’m not very hungry."

She was about to go upstairs when Sister Li asked her, "Have you discussed the matter of staying at the old house for a few days with the young master?"

An Junxi froze. She had completely forgotten about this!

Sister Li knew right away from her reaction and asked, "What should we do? Madam just called to ask me about it."

An Junxi said, "No worries, I’ll convince Yikun to stay at the old house tonight." It seemed she would have to resort to her old tricks.

Thinking of this, An Junxi felt a bit warm. She was afraid Sister Li would ask more, so she quickly found an excuse to go upstairs.

She went through the photo album her mother-in-law gave her twice, matching the names and faces of each person to ensure she wouldn’t get it wrong before putting it down.

After calming herself, An Junxi practiced flower arranging. After a few days back in her hometown, it was time to pick up what her mother-in-law had taught her.

Time flew by, and soon it was time for Gu Jinxiu to finish school. An Junxi initially wanted to go pick him up since he hadn’t seen her for several days. She had gotten up late today and hadn’t made him breakfast, feeling a bit guilty. Recently, her attention to him had indeed been lacking.

Sister Li reminded An Junxi that the makeup artist would arrive soon, suggesting she stay home to wait.

So, An Junxi had to wait. She took a shower, and when she came out, the makeup artist was already waiting in the lobby.

Seeing that An Junxi was ready, Sister Li accompanied the makeup artist upstairs. The makeup artist was a very professional woman in her thirties. She greeted An Junxi, "Mrs. Gu, I’m Jiang Li, and I’ve always been responsible for Mrs. Gu’s makeup."

"Hello," An Junxi said, "Thank you for your help today."

"It’s my duty."

A servant brought in flower tea and snacks before leaving. Jiang Li said, "Let’s start with the hairstyle."

An Junxi cooperated and sat on the chair. Halfway through doing her hair, Gu Jinxiu came back. Hearing that An Junxi was upstairs, he rushed up to the third floor like an arrow and knocked on the door, "Mommy!"

Seeing how eager he was to see her but still remembering to knock, An Junxi smiled and said, "Come in quickly. I haven’t seen you for several days." She was now used to Gu Jinxiu calling her Mommy, and they got along very well, becoming more like mother and son.

Gu Jinxiu walked in, "Mommy, you’re so beautiful today! Aunt Jiang, make my Mommy the most beautiful!"

Jiang Li said, "Your mom is already beautiful. Even a little touch-up makes her even prettier."

An Junxi laughed and said, "I haven’t even started my makeup yet. How beautiful can I be?"

"Mommy is beautiful even without makeup."

An Junxi pinched his little cheek, "Such a sweet-talker."

Gu Jinxiu laughed, showing his small tiger teeth, and asked, "You haven’t spent time with me for days. When will you take me out to play? You can’t just play with Dad only!"

Jiang Li couldn’t help but laugh, "The young master has become so lively. He is very close to Mrs. Gu."

An Junxi said, "Jinxiu is very sensible and easy to handle, not much trouble at all." She told Gu Jinxiu, "Go do your homework now. We need to leave for your grandparents’ place at six. We’ll be staying there tonight."

Gu Jinxiu was ecstatic, "I’ll go do my homework now!" He dashed downstairs.

Gu Yikun’s first day back at the company was filled with endless meetings. He didn’t feel comfortable with An Junxi going to the old mansion alone at night, so he arranged his meetings as densely as possible and left the company early at five to go home.

He walked into the lobby and saw Gu Jinxiu sitting on the sofa reading a book, with his school bag and a plush toy beside him.

Gu Yikun was curious. When did his son start liking plush toys?

Seeing his father return, Gu Jinxiu put down his book and called out, "Dad."

Gu Yikun pointed to the dolphin plush toy and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Gu Jinxiu had secretly changed the term, no longer calling him Father but Dad. Seeing that Dad hadn’t corrected him, he was overjoyed and said, "Mommy gave it to me. Mommy said this was her most favorite little dolphin." As he said this, he hugged the dolphin, which he planned to take to the old mansion tonight.

Gu Yikun raised an eyebrow, "Your mom gave this to you?" He felt a bit unhappy. Why hadn’t she ever given him anything?

Gu Jinxiu didn’t notice his father’s unhappiness and said, "Yes, Mommy also said she’d pick a gift for Grandma in a few days. Dad, what did Mommy give you?"

Gu Yikun’s face darkened. He couldn’t admit he hadn’t received any gifts.

He looked at the box in his hand, which he had taken time to pick out despite his busy schedule, hoping to give her a surprise since she was a bit upset last night before bed.

This little woman, giving gifts to their son but not thinking of him?

Gu Yikun felt a bit melancholic.

He silently went upstairs and met Jiang Li, who was coming down. Jiang Li greeted him, "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu’s makeup is all done."

"Hmm." Gu Yikun quickly walked upstairs and pushed open the door to see An Junxi twirling in front of the mirror in her new dress, looking very satisfied with it.

Seeing that Gu Yikun had returned, An Junxi stopped and smiled at him, calling out, "Honey, you’re back!"

As she stopped moving, the swirling hem of her dress formed a beautiful arc in the air before settling against her delicate skin. Seeing this, a warmth stirred in Gu Yikun’s heart.

The anger he felt vanished immediately. He walked over, hugging her slender waist, "Wife, you look especially beautiful today."

He leaned in to kiss her, but An Junxi leaned back a bit to avoid him, "I just had my makeup done!"

Gu Yikun was a bit displeased, "Just one kiss."
