Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 369: I Suspect Yu Chen is Having an Affair
Gu Yikun really couldn’t bear to let An Junxi go into the kitchen. The kitchen here uses firewood, and it was hard for his wife to maintain her delicate skin. Going there would be like stepping back in time.
He certainly didn’t stop her. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He was already planning in his mind to take his wife to the beauty salon for some treatments when they got back, otherwise people might say he wasn’t good to his wife.
Ai Xi Baby walked to one of the rooms as soon as she got down, peered inside, and asked her mommy, "Grandpa and Grandma, where are they?" She remembered that the elderly couple used to live in there.
Sister Chen and An Junxi exchanged a glance. Sister Chen sighed, "Who says Ai Xi is too young to understand things? She remembers everything so well."
Before, when the grandparents were unwell, they didn’t let Ai Xi go into that room, fearing she might catch something as children have weaker immunity. She had only seen the elderly couple a few times but still remembered them.
An Junxi comforted Sister Chen, "Please accept my condolences. The elderly passed away without suffering; it’s a relief for them actually."
Sister Chen nodded, who wouldn’t agree with that, as suffering is also no good.
An Junxi told Ai Xi not to wander around, "Jin Xiu, look after your sister."
Gu Jinxiu had never been to the countryside, so he wanted to see everything, "Sister, let’s go to the yard."
Ai Xi Baby followed her brother like a little shadow, "Okay!"
Nanny He took some ingredients from the yacht. An Junxi had just finished washing the vegetables when Nanny He hurried her out of the kitchen, "Sister Chen and I can handle it, you go watch the children."
An Junxi dried her hands, "Thank you both."
Nanny He and Sister Chen were both very efficient. Nanny He had worked for the Gu Family for decades and never used firewood, "Junxi is able to endure hardships better than I could when I was young, our young master really dotes on her."
Sister Chen said, "I used to see how fair and tender Junxi’s skin was and thought she wouldn’t be able to bear hardships. But she was never spoiled when doing farm work, even helped me as much as she could when I was overwhelmed. I was worried she might harm her baby."
The smoke from the firewood made Nanny He’s eyes tear up, "Exactly, and now she raises her children without spoiling them, capable of both luxury and simplicity. No wonder our young master treasures her so deeply, even the old lady dares not treat Junxi poorly."
Sister Chen admired An Junxi, "A girl who can marry into a big family surely has her own merits."
They chatted in the kitchen while An Junxi took Gu Yikun and the children to see where she used to live, "Sister Chen’s old house is next door. My parents and I lived there, and we mostly had our meals at Sister Chen’s place. Because I was giving birth, we couldn’t stay at others’ houses, but that place was tidy and quite livable."
When Gu Yikun heard "quite livable," he couldn’t believe they had lived in the small old house for nearly two years when he stepped inside.
The environment was harsher than he had imagined. His wife, Gu Yikun’s wife, had been pregnant and given birth here.
Gu Jinxiu pinched his nose, "So old, Mommy, how did you and Grandpa and Grandma manage to live here?"
An Junxi waved away the dust in the air, "It was clean when we lived here. The house has been unoccupied for a long time, that’s why it smells a bit now."
Young Ai Xi didn’t think the house was run-down. She pulled her father into the room and said, "This is home."
Gu Yikun picked up his daughter, wanting to hold her tight, "It’s Daddy’s fault for letting you and Mommy suffer."
Little Ai Xi didn’t understand what Daddy meant by suffering.
An Junxi didn’t think it was a big deal, "The neighbors took good care of us. As long as there wasn’t a typhoon, this house was fine."
Gu Yikun said, "Silly girl, you don’t have to comfort me."
Sister Chen came over to call them for dinner and saw the complex expression on President Gu’s face, apologizing, "Our conditions were poor; otherwise, we wouldn’t have let Junxi live in the old house. Ai Xi was born prematurely. When she was born, a typhoon hit, we couldn’t leave the island, there was a power outage, the house leaked, and she had to be delivered by a midwife. It scares me to think of it now. Fortunately, Junxi was strong, and both mother and daughter were safe."
Gu Yikun felt something gnawing at his heart. Letting his wife and daughter suffer like that made him feel like less of a man.
An Junxi had never told Yikun this, fearing he would overthink, "Let’s not talk about it, let’s go eat."
Sister Chen led the two children ahead, "Time to eat!"
Gu Yikun and An Junxi walked behind. An Junxi saw the children hopping around and said, "I was worried Jin Xiu might not like it here."
Gu Yikun held her hand tightly, "Xi Xi, I should have come to find you."
If he had sent people to look for them, the misunderstandings could have been cleared up sooner and brought the mother and daughter home.
An Junxi knew he would think too much, "Don’t burden yourself with this. There were too many uncertainties back then; you can’t blame yourself."
Gu Yikun still couldn’t forgive himself. An Junxi saw he was in a bad mood and gave him some food during the meal, "Let me cook for Mr. Gu tomorrow."
Gu Yikun wouldn’t let her cook, "No need, Sister Chen’s cooking is very good."
"Are you saying my cooking isn’t good?"
Sister Chen laughed, "Junxi, Yikun is just caring for you. Look how well he treats you."
Gu Yikun said, "I still need to treat her better. There’s always room for improvement."
Gu Jinxiu snickered. Daddy already treats Mommy very well!
Gu Yikun peeled shrimp for his wife and daughter, leaving Gu Jinxiu to fend for himself. Sister Chen peeled shrimp for him, but he turned around to peel shrimp and place food for Sister Chen, "Aunt Chen’s food is really good. I want to give you a gift. What do you like?"
Sister Chen was amused by Gu Jinxiu. Nanny He felt a bit jealous, "Why doesn’t Young Master give me a gift?"
Gu Jinxiu said, "Everyone gets one, I’ll give them all!"
Ai Xi Baby loved receiving gifts the most. She raised her oily little hand, "Brother, I want one too."
"Of course you will, little sister!"
After everyone finished eating, many islanders came to Sister Chen’s house to watch the excitement, treating President Gu like a rare animal, "So this is Junxi’s husband, he looks just like on TV."
Some little kids watched Gu Jinxiu and his sister from a distance, wanting to play with them but too shy. An Junxi said, "Jin Xiu, go play with the kids."
An Junxi greeted the neighbors. Someone shyly said, "I heard the yacht is luxuriously decorated like a hotel. Can our kids go take a look?"
Gu Yikun instructed Nanny He to take the children to play on the yacht. In the evening, everyone went to the beach to play in the water. In the yacht’s room, Gu Yikun applied several layers of sunscreen on An Junxi. Seeing how serious he was, An Junxi said, "Are you saying you wouldn’t like me if I got tanned?"
Gu Yikun applied sunscreen while taking advantage, "My wife’s skin is fair, we can’t let it tan."
After Gu Yikun went out, Zhang Miaoyan called An Junxi. An Junxi said, "Yikun and I brought the kids to Ao Shi Island to play for a few days. We’re not in Yan City, what’s up?"
Zhang Miaoyan whispered mysteriously, "Is the President by your side?"
"No." She was in the room, and Yikun and the kids were on the deck.
Zhang Miaoyan then said, "Jun Xi, I suspect Yu Chen is having an affair, what should I do?"
