Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 49 Being a Good Person for Once

Gu Jinxiu said somewhat unhappily, "If I do something wrong at the dining table, Father always scolds me." Why does he let it slide when it comes to Sister Jun Xi?

It’s really unfair!

With Gu Yikun not around, An Junxi’s eating manner became more carefree. She shoved a big piece of beef into her mouth and said, "People always have higher expectations for those they care about. Don’t you know that?"

Gu Jinxiu thought about it and agreed. His mood instantly lifted, "So that’s it, Father has high expectations for me, so he demands a lot." His appetite also improved, and he finished his beef and started on the duck breast.

An Junxi shook her head. This kid, though he often pretends to be deep, is still a child at heart and easily coaxed.

After they finished dinner, An Junxi routinely helped Gu Jinxiu with his homework. When it was about time, she went to make coffee.

The rich aroma of coffee spread through the air as An Junxi poured herself a cup too.

Sister He walked in nervously and said, "Jun Xi, are you taking the coffee upstairs later?"

"Yes, why?"

Sister He said, "The young master is in a bad mood tonight. I just passed by and heard him yelling at someone on the phone. Be careful!"

An Junxi asked, "Does Mr. Gu do this often?"

"It’s precisely because he rarely does this that we’re scared!" Sister He said, "I guess the person on the other end is our old madam. Whenever the young master talks to people from the United States, he gets in a bad mood. Be careful."

After speaking, afraid that An Junxi might not go upstairs and make them do it, Sister He hurriedly left.

An Junxi was speechless for a moment. Seeing Sister He like that, it seemed like keeping a distance from Gu Yikun might be the right thing to do. After all, they’ve lived in the Gu Family for decades and still couldn’t manage President Gu’s temper.

But... thinking about nearly breaking the wine glass tonight, she already made one mistake. He specially asked her to make coffee, so she couldn’t possibly not deliver it.

Summoning her courage, An Junxi carried the coffee up to the third floor.

She could hear a cold, icy voice from the study even from the hallway: "Second Uncle is doing well in South Africa. If he’s not satisfied, I can arrange for him to go to South Asia."

Whatever the other person said, Gu Yikun replied firmly, "Don’t bring her up again!" After a brief silence, he said coldly, "They want to come back? That’s tough. I won’t agree."

An Junxi hesitated. Clearly, this wasn’t the right time to go in. It was better for her not to know too much about these Gu Family matters.

She turned to go back downstairs but saw Sister Li waving at her from the stairway, urging her to go in.

An Junxi bit her lip and walked to the study door, seeing Gu Yikun pacing back and forth angrily in front of his desk.

Just as she freed a hand to knock, Gu Yikun suddenly shouted, "Unless they don’t bear the surname Gu!" and flung his phone towards the door.

This was the first time An Junxi had seen Gu Yikun so out of control. She screamed in fear, barely managing to hold onto the tray. The coffee spilled, scalding the back of her hand, and reflexively she let go of everything.

Gu Yikun’s phone hit a vase on the table, shattering it into pieces on the ground. The coffee and glass shards mixed into a mess.

An Junxi shook her hand and blew on it to cool the burn.

Gu Yikun turned back, his expression turning even darker at the scene.

An Junxi panicked and crouched down to clean up. "I’m sorry, I..."

Gu Yikun strode over and grabbed her by the arm, pulling her up. An Junxi lost her balance and intuitively clung to his arm, her face revealing some pain.

He glanced at her foot. Her left foot didn’t touch the ground, clearly sprained by his reckless pulling.

She had just been discharged from the hospital, of course, she couldn’t handle such sudden movements.

He noticed she was wearing house slippers, with glass shards cutting into her foot and lower leg, blood seeping out.

Gu Yikun cursed under his breath, then wrapped one arm around her waist and effortlessly carried her.

An Junxi’s mind went blank. Before she could process her thoughts, he placed her on the sofa. Then, like a whirlwind, he walked away.

An Junxi sat there dumbfounded. Was it just her imagination?

Sister Li brought two maids in to clean the room. Seeing An Junxi in shock, she said with pity, "I just told you to go back downstairs, why didn’t you listen?"

An Junxi felt like crying. "I thought you meant for me to go in!

Sister Li slapped her forehead. They really lacked any mutual understanding! "Ah... forget it, it’s done. Let’s go downstairs and treat your wounds first. Let’s have a look at your injuries."

Just as Sister Li helped An Junxi up, Gu Yikun walked in with a box in hand. "Where are you going?" he asked.

He sat across from An Junxi and placed the box on the table.

Sister Li saw the master had brought in a medical emergency kit and immediately had An Junxi sit back down on the sofa. She reached out to open the box, "Let me..."

Gu Yikun pulled the box towards him, "I’ll do it."

Sister Li, old as she was, had never been so stunned, "Master?"

An Junxi couldn’t believe her ears either. She assumed he was just being polite, "You don’t have to trouble yourself, Mr. Gu..."

"You two are very noisy," Gu Yikun glanced at them, his tone impatient.

Neither dared to speak again.

Gu Yikun ordered Sister Li to go downstairs.

Sister Li was more than happy to oblige, calling the two maids to take the trash and quickly leave. Before going, she gave An Junxi a look of condolence, signaling her to take care of herself.

She had never seen the young master so out of character!

Gu Yikun took out some antiseptic. He grabbed An Junxi’s ankle and placed her foot on his thigh.

An Junxi felt a rush of blood to her head and stiffened, "Mr. Gu..."

He looked up at her, "Does it hurt?"

His deep voice was quite sexy, but to An Junxi, it was far from pleasant. She was frantic inside. This wasn’t the point at all!

"No, it’s just that I’ve been messing up all night. I really don’t want to trouble you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Yikun thought it was something serious. "It’s my fault you got injured, you don’t need to feel guilty."

He used the antiseptic to clean the small cuts and then applied some ointment. Ironically, he wasn’t in the mood to work tonight, and this woman calmed him down, giving him something to do. So, he made an exception and acted as a good person.

Up until now, he didn’t find anything wrong with his actions.

An Junxi didn’t know what was going through Gu Yikun’s mind. Her heart was racing. Wasn’t President Gu known for keeping people at a distance? Now it didn’t seem that way at all. She was afraid she couldn’t control herself!

Suddenly, Gu Yikun asked, "How is your sprained ankle?"

An Junxi was still dazed. She blankly asked, "What?"

"I mean, your previously sprained ankle, does it hurt?" Given her current state, she probably was really frightened.

Normally, she was quite bold. Even the senior executives were afraid of him, but she dared to argue with him. Why was she different now?
