Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 483: I’m Not a Pet You Raised

Gu Yikun clenched his phone, his gaze making An Junxi fearful.

An Junxi explained, "His work won an award, so I just looked it up online."

Gu Yikun’s mouth curled into a cold smile. He had wanted to bow his head and end this cold war, but it seemed she didn’t care whether it continued or not.

When he was standing against all the media for her, she was still focused on You Ran’s award-winning work.

He had been unable to concentrate on work for days, yelled at subordinates at the office, and still wanted to care for her feelings when he returned home, not minding to bow and apologize, but she only cared about that man.

Few people could make Gu Yikun bow his head. He was used to being admired by thousands outside, but at home, his wife admired another man. This was something the proud Gu Yikun could not accept.

He put down his phone and irritably took off his jacket.

An Junxi wanted to take his jacket, but Gu Yikun raised his hand and threw it aside.

An Junxi withdrew her hand and nervously adjusted her hair, "I’ll go check on our daughter."

Gu Yikun said nothing. An Junxi walked to the door but stopped again, turning to explain once more, "I was just looking at the award-winning photography, not just You Ran’s..."

"Enough," Gu Yikun interrupted her, "From now on, you won’t see him in the country again."

An Junxi walked back, "What do you mean by that?"

Gu Yikun stared at her, "Are you that worried about him? Then I definitely need to expel him from the country, so he never dares to return."

An Junxi found him unreasonable, "Gu Yikun, what right do you have to do this?" Not only was he insulting You Ran, but also disrespecting her.

If he trusted her, how could he take such unnecessary actions!

An Junxi had to make this clear, Gu Yikun had no right to interfere with others’ freedom.

Gu Yikun’s heart turned cold, "An Junxi, are you going to cause trouble with me over him?"

"You’re being unreasonable. What did You Ran do wrong? Haven’t you already made him destitute for years? Do you have to torment a talented person until he disappears completely?"

Gu Yikun grabbed her, "An Junxi, don’t push me."

His grip hurt her, but An Junxi didn’t bow her head, "I don’t want to talk to you, let go."

Gu Yikun really let go. Once that man disappeared from the country, she would know the cost of opposing him.

An Junxi could no longer tell if Gu Yikun’s feelings for her were possessiveness or love. Sometimes, he felt very unfamiliar to her.

She stayed in the children’s room with their daughter, while Gu Yikun didn’t come down the entire evening.

He started leaving early and coming back late, seemingly deliberately avoiding her.

If two people really didn’t want to talk in such a large house, they could avoid seeing each other altogether.

At night, Ai Xi wanted to find her father. An Junxi had Mrs. He take their daughter upstairs while she tutored Jin Xiu’s homework on the second floor.

Gu Yikun put down his work and played with their daughter. The little princess asked, "Mommy sleeps with me every night. Does Daddy like sleeping alone?"

Gu Yikun said, "No."

"Then Daddy should come to my room. Mommy is there." It was really pitiful for Daddy not to have Mommy with him.

Gu Yikun kissed their daughter’s small face, "Daddy is waiting for Mommy to willingly come back upstairs."

The little princess felt quite conflicted, troubled by grown-ups’ matters.

Mrs. He didn’t want to see them continue like this. She earnestly advised the young master, "Wouldn’t it be better if you yielded to Junxi a little? You’re both not young anymore, why still argue like children."

Gu Yikun coldly said, "I’ve yielded enough."

As a grown man, he had no principles in front of her, and she was still not satisfied?

He could compromise on other issues, but You Ran was a thorn in his heart. He absolutely wouldn’t allow her to think about that man.

Mrs. He’s worry deepened, her gray hair increasing. This couple was truly a concern.

An Junxi often lost focus while tutoring Gu Jin Xiu’s homework. Gu Yikun was determined not to back down this time.

Gu Jin Xiu noticed his mommy was distracted. He felt worried too, not just because his parents were fighting, but also because something seemed to be wrong at He Yiqing’s house. She hadn’t come to school for several days.

He asked Brother Cheng, who said the lawsuit at her home was not going well but didn’t reveal any specifics.

If his parents had a good relationship, he could ask his mommy to help inquire his daddy.

Gu Jin Xiu furrowed his brows. Wasn’t it said that children were carefree? Why did he not feel that way?

An Junxi didn’t dare to go find You Ran until he found her.

As soon as An Junxi saw him, she asked, "Did Gu Yikun do something?"

You Ran said, "Your husband is too terrifying, Junxi. If I had another way, I wouldn’t be bothering you."

An Junxi knew. After the scandal, You Ran didn’t contact her to avoid further misunderstandings. Now that he had found her, it meant Gu Yikun had indeed started taking action.

You Ran said, "I don’t know what methods your husband used. I might not be able to return to the country for a long time. It doesn’t matter where I am alone, but I wanted to inform you before I leave. I just wired money to your account, with interest."

You Ran’s words were calm, but An Junxi knew the harsh situation he faced behind them.

Being barred from one’s own country was a permanent stain on your record.

She said, "I’ll go talk to him."

"No need. I’m rootless; it’s the same wherever I go. Just... not being able to return during the Qingming Festival to honor my ancestors, that’s truly unfilial."

An Junxi resolutely said, "I’ll talk to him."

Before An Junxi could go find Gu Yikun, he came home early.

He went straight to the children’s room and told Mrs. He, "Take Ai Xi out."

The baby had never seen her daddy so angry; Mrs. He comforted her, "Daddy and Mommy have to talk about work. Let’s go play outside."

An Junxi didn’t know what he was angry about. After Mrs. He took their child out, Gu Yikun asked, "Did he transfer money to you and call you? Is he asking you for help?"

An Junxi was furious, "Are you spying on me?"

Gu Yikun bluntly said, "If you haven’t done anything against your conscience, you wouldn’t worry about being monitored."

"Get out," An Junxi felt her dignity being trampled under his foot.

"I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Get out!"

Gu Yikun’s lips pressed into a thin line. He walked closer to her. The invisible pressure didn’t scare An Junxi; it made her angrier, "You still think you’re justified, huh? Monitoring me makes sense? I’m your wife, not your pet!"

Gu Yikun punched the wall behind her. An Junxi didn’t even blink as he asked each word clearly, "I told you to stay away from him, and you can’t, is that right?"

"Yes," An Junxi faced his impending rage, "I can’t."

Gu Yikun’s hands clenched into fists, "An Junxi, you are my wife!"

"Do you see me as a wife? Or just as your pet? I don’t need a husband like this!"

Gu Yikun’s fist joints cracked. Afraid he couldn’t control his anger and might hurt her, he slammed the door and left, "Fine, I’ll let you have your way."

Gu Qianlan quickly came in, smirking at An Junxi, "Are you two getting a divorce? Congratulations!"
