Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 451: Like a Bride Waiting to Be Married
An Junxi was very disgusted. Chen Ming now asked her for money without any embarrassment at all, as if she naturally owed him.
An Junxi didn’t want to lend the money, thinking about that call from Sister Chen. Sister Chen was indeed a thin-skinned person and wouldn’t ask for help even if she was in trouble.
She still lent the money to Chen Ming and said at the same time, "Next time Sister Chen needs money, let her tell me. I am afraid she might have some difficulties I don’t know about, which wouldn’t be good."
Her tone was firm, her eyes clear, with a hint of sarcasm.
Only then did Chen Ming blush. Mrs. Gu knew well in her heart but didn’t point it out. Perhaps this would be the last time lending him money.
When he said it was borrowing, he didn’t plan to repay.
Chen Ming casually thanked her. An Junxi felt stifled. Could it be that Chen Ming intended to live off the Gu Family as his personal ATM forever?
It’s said that personal debts are the hardest to repay. An Junxi finally understood that feeling.
Chen Ming wanted to repay the money the next day. But sleeping fitfully in the middle of the night, he thought it would be too wasteful to return the money just like that. If he took this money to recoup his losses, he might strike it rich overnight!
Chen Ming was blinded by money. He dived back into the casino, losing everything within a couple of days.
The debt collectors said, "If you don’t return the money, we’ll wait downstairs at your company, making sure you can’t stay in Yan City!"
Chen Ming was so anxious he didn’t know what to do. When picking up the young lady from school, he even considered kidnapping the child but didn’t have the guts.
He had many opportunities to kidnap her. The problem was that his identity made him a prime suspect. If the young lady went missing, he would be the first one they suspected. If he got caught, it would be game over.
Chen Ming scratched his head, unable to find a solution. Just then, He Sirui found him.
The bruises on He Sirui’s face were gradually fading. She still didn’t dare to appear in public and had someone arrange to meet Chen Ming in a private room of a small bar.
Chen Ming was familiar with these places. He had done a lot of sneaky things. Seeing a girl wearing a mask and sunglasses in the private room, he immediately understood that the other party didn’t want to reveal herself.
"What does Miss want from me?"
He Sirui said, "I know you are familiar with An Junxi. Two years ago, An Junxi gave birth to a child on Osit Island. How is she doing there?"
Chen Ming didn’t understand what He Sirui meant. He said, "Mrs. Gu is doing quite well on our island."
He Sirui asked, "I mean, has she been seeing any men too frequently there?"
Chen Ming guessed that this woman had some grudge against Mrs. Gu?
He said, "No. I wasn’t on the island to see it myself, but my sister said she was very weak during her pregnancy. How could she have the energy to flirt with the men on the island?"
He Sirui said, "I know you owe a gambling debt. As long as you are willing to do something for me, I’ll pay off that debt for you."
Chen Ming knew there’s no such thing as a free lunch. He asked warily, "What is it?"
He was a bit greedy but not to the extent of harming Mrs. Gu.
He Sirui told him not to be so resistant. "You’re teetering on the edge, almost losing your life. Are you still afraid of betraying someone unrelated to you?"
Chen Ming found her words somewhat reasonable. His gambling debt totaled over three million, which was no small amount. Short of being torn into pieces and sold on the black market for organs, his life wasn’t worth that much money.
Seeing he was tempted, He Sirui said, "I’ll give you some interest first. Wait for my contact at any time."
Which meant he could get tens of thousands without doing anything now. The temptation was significant.
Chen Ming noticed the surveillance camera in the room. He knew that once he took the money, there was no turning back.
In the end, he took the cash to address his immediate crisis first.
He Sirui smiled coldly. She was now unafraid of anything and only wanted An Junxi dead. She was determined to make Gu Yikun regret it for life!
An Junxi’s eyelids twitched violently, a feeling of inexplicable panic enveloping her. She proactively told Gu Yikun that she wanted to go to his company with him, to stay in his office, and not go to Wanling Entertainment’s headquarters.
Seeing her clinginess, Gu Yikun thought she was too bored at home. He instructed Secretary Wang to arrange his schedule lightly, reducing his workload, claiming he needed a few days off to surprise her.
An Junxi had some expectations until the stylist appeared at their home with several wedding dresses, making her eyes red.
Gu Yikun said, "No crying. Check which one you like? They’re all custom-made according to your measurements. If there are any parts you don’t like, they can be altered anytime. We’ll take the wedding photos first and then pick a good day to hold the wedding."
Gu Kuangyuan followed the designer over, offering many styling suggestions to An Junxi. She said, "I missed your proposal ceremony, but I won’t miss your wedding."
Little Ai Xi was two years old now. As An Junxi caressed the white, sacred wedding dress, she felt like a bride-to-be.
The designer said, "The president asked us to make a set of each style to give the lady a more direct look. The president is very considerate." And very extravagant and costly.
The designer didn’t dare say that aloud. What was this amount of money to President Gu?
An Junxi threw herself into her husband’s arms, her eyes moist. "Yikun, you always... make me cry."
Gu Yikun gently stroked her head. "No crying when happy. Customizing a wedding dress for one’s wife is the most basic thing, isn’t it?"
Suddenly remembering something, An Junxi asked, "Auntie, when will your wedding be held?"
Gu Kuangyuan said, "We took the wedding photos but decided not to hold the wedding. I’m not fond of such lively events." Now that Cheng Ye had joined a renowned domestic law firm, he was very busy. She didn’t want to hinder him with wedding preparations.
Knowing her aunt preferred quiet, An Junxi said, "Auntie, I haven’t seen your wedding photos yet."
"I’ll show you sometime. For now, focus on picking out your wedding dress."
Little Ai Xi woke up from her nap. When Mrs. He brought her downstairs and she saw the wedding dress, she said, "What a beautiful dress!"
Gu Yikun picked up his daughter and said to An Junxi, "How about letting our daughter be the flower girl?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Little Ai Xi cleverly asked, "Will I also have a pretty dress?"
An Junxi gave her daughter a big kiss. "Yes, Ai Xi will have one too."
Little Ai Xi clapped happily. The designer measured her height. "We’ll go and process it. It’ll be done in less than half a month."
The material and craftsmanship of their wedding attire couldn’t compare to those from assembly lines. Half a month was their fastest speed.
Imagining her daughter dressed like a little angel, An Junxi thought it would be a beautiful sight.
Gu Yikun told her, "Honey, this wedding is a bit late. I hope you don’t feel any regrets."
An Junxi gave her husband a kiss. "No regrets. I am very happy."
She and her aunt picked out the styles together, taking photos to send to her senior sister for opinions.
Gong Xiaoyu gave some suggestions. Combining them with her aunt’s, An Junxi chose a strapless dress with a shoulder veil.
She tried it on in the room, and the fit was perfect.
She walked out of the room, saying, "It’s really amazing—fits perfectly!"
The servants watched in awe. Their Young Madam was truly beautiful!
