Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 481: Gu Yikun, I Hate You

An Junxi shook off his hand, "Your family can live well together, I’m an outsider, I don’t deserve to be part of the Gu Family."

She turned and went upstairs. Gu Yikun felt a pang of panic and grabbed her: "Xi Xi, no one is blaming you. There have just been a lot of things happening these past few days, I just don’t want constant arguing at home..."

"I know, it’s the scandal I caused, I’m the one who disrespected your parents, I’m the one who can’t get along with your sister, I’m the one making things difficult for you. Gu Yikun, let’s take a break for a while."

She broke free from his hand and went upstairs. Gu Yikun’s steps were heavy, he decided to let her be.

An Junxi returned to the children’s room, the baby had woken up and asked from the bed, "Has daddy come back?"

An Junxi held her daughter and swallowed her tears, "Ai Xi, mommy doesn’t want to stay here anymore."

"Mommy, do you want to go play? When Ai Xi grows up, I will take you, okay."

An Junxi couldn’t hold back her tears, "Okay, mommy will wait for Ai Xi to grow up."

"Don’t cry, mommy. Ai Xi can grow up really fast by eating well."

An Junxi touched her little mouth, "No more eating so much ice cream from now on, you almost scared mommy to death, do you understand? Does your tummy still hurt?"

The baby blinked, "It doesn’t hurt anymore. Auntie gave it to me, it was really good."

"You can’t eat too much in the future, no matter who gives it to you."

The baby didn’t want to agree, but she also didn’t want to see her mommy cry, "Okay, but can I have a little bit?"

"You have to ask mommy first before eating."

"Okay."

An Junxi extended her finger, "Let’s make a pinky promise."

The baby hooked her finger, "I promise, mommy."

An Junxi stroked her daughter’s soft hair, baby, your father is so infuriating. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Downstairs in the living room, Liang Huiyun wanted to say something but Gu Kuangyong pulled her away, "Say less, isn’t Yi Ke troubled enough?"

Gu Qianlan ran back to her room, as long as her brother didn’t scold her, she was fine.

Gu Yikun went up to the second floor and pushed open the door to the children’s room. An Junxi and her daughter were asleep together.

Gu Yikun went in and sat by the bed. Her eyelashes still had tear drops, and there were tear stains on the pillow.

She must have cried.

Gu Yikun raised his hand to touch her face, his hand stopped midway, and he tucked the blanket around the mother and daughter.

Xi Xi, you know I love you, I haven’t changed. Why can’t you just keep the peace at home? Is it really so hard to get along with Qianlan?

He silently left the room and went to the study on the third floor, sitting there until dawn.

The room’s door softly closed, and An Junxi opened her eyes, her gaze empty.

Gu Yikun, I am beginning to not understand you.

Mrs. He knocked on the study door, "Young Master, you haven’t eaten much tonight, do you want a bowl of soup?"

"No."

Mrs. He stood in front of his desk, "Young Master, don’t blame Jun Xi, anyone else would have been worried too. You two went to attend the press conference, Miss let Ai Xi eat a lot of ice cream, causing a stomach ache. Jun Xi took Ai Xi to the hospital right after she came back; luckily, there was nothing serious... Naturally, it was mostly my fault, I didn’t keep a proper eye on Ai Xi. But Old Madam came over and immediately blamed Jun Xi for failing to look after the child. When Jun Xi scolded Miss, Old Madam wouldn’t allow it, so the argument began."

Mrs. He had been with Old Madam for decades, her heart stood with Old Madam. But today, she had seen everything as an onlooker and knew that Jun Xi was not at fault at all; it was Old Madam who was overly protective.

She felt it unjust for Jun Xi. Even if it displeased Old Madam, she had to tell Young Master the truth.

Gu Yikun remembered the call she made that afternoon. His daughter was at the hospital, and she was surely scared which was why she called him, but he had cut her off.

He wanted to slap himself, what had he done to her?

Gu Yikun went downstairs, stopping at the door to ask Mrs. He, "What did the doctor say?"

"Eating too much ice cream upset her stomach, she needs a few days to recuperate."

Gu Yikun went to the second floor and knocked on Gu Qianlan’s door. Gu Qianlan had just finished applying a face mask and opened the door, "Brother, what is it?"

Gu Yikun coldly replied, "You will move back home tomorrow."

Gu Qianlan didn’t understand why her brother suddenly changed, "Brother, is it because of An Junxi again..."

"She is your sister-in-law!" There was a fiery glint in Gu Yikun’s eyes, and his voice carried an edge of ice, "Gu Qianlan, you caused Ai Xi to end up in the hospital today. Who knows what you’ll do tomorrow. Move back home and reflect on your actions."

Gu Qianlan felt guilty and didn’t dare to argue. Ai Xi was her brother’s precious daughter, and if she dared to talk back, she would be heavily punished.

She couldn’t blame anyone else for her niece’s hospitalization, "I will move back tomorrow, but brother, you can’t blame everything on me. You saw An Junxi hit me."

Gu Yikun raised his hand, prompting Gu Qianlan to dash into the bathroom, "I’m going to take a shower now." God, her brother was terrifying; he almost wanted to hit her too!

Gu Yikun warned her through the door, "If it happens again, it’ll be me who hits you, believe it or not, you can try."

Gu Qianlan felt a chill. She truly couldn’t stay here any longer!

Gu Yikun opened the door to the children’s room again. He had so much he wanted to say to her, but seeing her peaceful sleeping face, he couldn’t bear to wake her.

He leaned down and kissed her and their daughter, "Xi Xi, it was my fault for not finding out the reason and letting you be wronged."

He sat by the bed for a long time, and An Junxi seemed to hear his voice in her sleep.

She frowned, "Gu Yikun, I hate you."

Just as Gu Yikun was about to leave, her sleep-talking made him pause.

He sat down and held her hand, "Xi Xi, I’m sorry."

He quietly watched over them as they slept before returning to the master bedroom long after.

In the morning, An Junxi deliberately avoided Gu Yikun. Mrs. He advised the young master, "Let Jun Xi stay quiet for a while, it’s easy to say hurtful things now."

Gu Yikun went to hold his daughter, "Baby, come over here."

Ai Xi, who hadn’t seen her dad last night, hugged his neck, "Daddy, I haven’t seen you for a long time."

"Give daddy a kiss."

The baby pouted her lips and kissed her daddy’s face, "Daddy, are you going to work?"

"Yes, did Ai Xi eat a lot of ice cream yesterday and get a stomachache?"

The baby felt a bit shy, "Yes, mommy said I can’t eat so much in the future."

"You can’t do that anymore, daddy and mommy will worry."

"I know, I made a pinky promise with mommy."

Gu Yikun sat beside his wife with their daughter in his arms, "Xi Xi, did our daughter take her medicine this morning?"

The baby pinched her nose, "I don’t want to take it, it’s bitter."

An Junxi didn’t want to answer him, she got up to the kitchen to get warm water, leaving Gu Yikun facing empty air.

He followed her, "Xi Xi, let’s have a proper talk."

An Junxi was full of anger; did he think a few kind words could make everything disappear?

"Gu Yikun, I don’t want to argue with you early in the morning, you should go to work."

Gu Yikun grabbed her hand, but An Junxi avoided him and went to hold her daughter, "Daddy is going to work, say goodbye to daddy."

The baby waved her hand, "Daddy, come back early."

Gu Yikun felt bitter; last night he didn’t side with her, and now it would not be easy to make it up to her.

He left for the office, "You take good rest at home."
