Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 120 Unable to Let Go

Gong Xiaoyu hadn’t expected to run into Yue Xiaoyang here. She was completely unprepared.

That day, when she saw him with another woman at his house, she fled hastily and never contacted him again. Of course, he didn’t reach out to her either.

The scene of her being bullied by two thugs was still fresh in her mind. Gong Xiaoyu had been plagued by nightmares for several nights, waking up in a cold sweat each time and convincing herself to move on from that man. He was probably cuddling with some other woman by now.

Trying too hard to let go often makes it impossible to let go.

This weekend, Gong Xiaoyu initially planned to visit Yu Zheng’s family farm to see if it was suitable for organizing a company event. The summer enrollment was very successful, and she wanted to reward everyone.

Yu Zheng came to pick her up, but before they could set off, he received a call from Gu Jinxiu, inviting him to the seaside vacation villa where everyone was gathered, including his parents.

Yu Zheng had taught Gu Jinxiu horse riding at the farm before, which made Gu Jinxiu fond of spending time with him.

Yu Zheng initially didn’t want to go, but when Gong Xiaoyu heard that An Junxi was also there, she said, "Let’s go have some fun. We can visit your farm next time."

So they changed their plans and headed to the vacation villa area.

Gong Xiaoyu didn’t expect so many people to be here. As soon as she walked in, she saw Yue Xiaoyang.

She fought the urge to turn around and leave, frantically telling herself that since he didn’t care about that night, she shouldn’t be so spineless in front of him.

Gong Xiaoyu wanted to face him calmly, but when he looked over, she felt a surge of panic and instinctively grabbed Yu Zheng’s hand.

Yu Zheng was stunned and looked at her, "Miss Gong?"

Gong Xiaoyu said, "I didn’t eat much this morning, and I feel a bit dizzy."

Yu Zheng quickly helped her to a nearby sofa to sit down, "I’ll get you some warm water and something to eat."

Gu Jinxiu walked over, "Sister Xiaoyu, you don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, just a bit hungry."

Gu Jinxiu said, "I’ll get you something to eat then." He ran to the kitchen.

Yue Xiaoyang stared at her intently from the moment she walked in, watching Yu Zheng pour her a glass of warm water. She smiled gently at Yu Zheng without even glancing his way.

How quickly she had latched onto President Gu’s capable assistant.

He tilted his head back and downed a glass of red wine, then poured another.

By his side, Xie Yuchen looked at him curiously, "Do you think you’re drinking water?"

Yue Xiaoyang said nothing, his face sullen.

Gong Xiaoyu knew Yue Xiaoyang was watching her, and she nearly couldn’t keep her composure. She asked Yu Zheng, "Can I go upstairs to find Jun Xi?"

Yu Zheng remembered the advice Zha Zhuoxin gave to the president yesterday. Seeing no sign of the president here, he guessed the president was busy with "relationship steps," so it would be unwise to go upstairs now.

He said, "Let’s sit for a while. They should be down soon."

Gong Xiaoyu also thought of something and blushed slightly. She quickly finished a glass of water. An Junxi could really cause a stir!

With so many people here, can’t they be a bit low-key?

Seeing that she was genuinely thirsty, Yu Zheng got up to pour her another glass of water and Gu Jinxiu came back with some food.

"Sister Xiaoyu, do you like these snacks?"

Actually, Gong Xiaoyu wasn’t hungry. She forced herself to eat a few pieces of the snacks, "Thank you, Jin Xiu."

"You’re welcome. You’re my mommy’s boss, so you have to help take care of her at work!"

A genuine smile finally appeared on Gong Xiaoyu’s face. She tapped his nose lightly, "An Junxi really found a treasure with such a good kid like you."

Gu Jinxiu smiled and walked away.

Yu Zheng sat next to her, "Jin Xiu used to be quite mischievous. He’s much more sensible now."

Gong Xiaoyu tried to ignore Yue Xiaoyang and focused on talking to Yu Zheng, "Only Jun Xi can handle him. No one is more suitable to be his mommy. Do you know how they met for the first time?"

Yu Zheng was genuinely curious, "How?"

Gong Xiaoyu covered her mouth with one hand and leaned in to whisper, "Jin Xiu threw paint on her, and Jun Xi tied him up, refusing to let him go until he apologized."

Yu Zheng was very surprised, "Really? I didn’t expect Mrs. Gu to be so fierce."

Would the president be a victim of domestic violence?

This thought crossed Yu Zheng’s mind, and he nodded to himself. It’s highly possible.

Gong Xiaoyu nodded, "Later, Jun Xi found out he was the young master of the Gu Family and was scared half to death."

Yu Zheng couldn’t help but laugh.

Gong Xiaoyu laughed too and patted his shoulder, "Not many people know about this. Don’t go spreading it around."

"I won’t, I promise."

On the other side, Yue Xiaoyang almost crushed his wine glass, his teeth gritting noisily. That woman was actually quite happy?

He snapped his fingers to signal Gu Jinxiu to come over.

Gu Jinxiu walked over, "Uncle Yue, what’s up?"

Yue Xiaoyang scowled, "Why do you call me Uncle Yue and call him Brother Yu? I hadn’t noticed before, but now I find it really annoying."

Gu Jinxiu looked innocent. He had always called them that! "Because you’re older than Brother Yu."

Yue Xiaoyang ruffled Gu Jinxiu’s hair roughly, "It’s called being mature, understand? I’ve spoiled you for nothing."

Gu Jinxiu, angry, punched Yue Xiaoyang twice, "Brother Yu also spoils me!"

Yue Xiaoyang was fuming with rage. He then asked, "Who do you think is more handsome, him or me?"

Gu Jinxiu didn’t understand why Uncle Yue had so many questions today. Looking back and forth between the two, he said, "You’re both about equally handsome."

"How could that be? He’s not as handsome as me. Jin Xiu, you might be nearsighted at such a young age."

Annoyed by his questions, Gu Jinxiu replied, "Brother Yu never asks these silly questions."

Yue Xiaoyang clenched his fists. He leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Go and listen to what they’re talking about. Report back everything to me, and make sure they don’t sit together."

Gu Jinxiu didn’t want to do this unpleasant task, "Why don’t you go yourself?"

Yue Xiaoyang said, "Don’t you want to delay going to the United States? I can help you get an extension of half a month."

"Deal!"

Gong Xiaoyu was talking with Yu Zheng when Gu Jinxiu suddenly came over, "Sister Xiaoyu, can you swim?" He said as he squeezed in between them with an innocent smile.

Gong Xiaoyu didn’t think much of it and made space for him, "Yes, I can swim."

"Great! Let’s go swimming later. My mommy just learned a bit last night and needs more practice."

Gong Xiaoyu agreed.

Yu Zheng found Gu Jinxiu to be a hindrance, but no matter how he signaled, the kid wouldn’t leave them alone.

Gu Jinxiu secretly winked at Yue Xiaoyang, who gave an "OK" gesture in return.

Witnessing the whole scene, Xie Yuchen glanced at Gong Xiaoyu, "Interested in her?"

Yue Xiaoyang’s face turned gloomy again. He admitted he cared about her, but he couldn’t give her what she wanted and didn’t want to see other men around her.

Really selfish.
