Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 490 Temporary Separation

Facing Gu Yikun’s panic, An Junxi was surprisingly calm.

She didn’t sleep at all last night and finally figured it out.

"Yikun, our problem isn’t just about Gu Qianlan. Being with you is exhausting. I know you’re tired too. Let’s put this aside and separate for a while."

Gu Yikun tightly held her in his arms, "No, I won’t agree. You’re not allowed to go anywhere!"

An Junxi’s eyes reddened, "Yikun, I don’t want to cry in front of you every day. Please let me go, let me live a peaceful life. I beg you."

Gu Yikun gradually loosened his grip on her, "An Junxi, is it really that painful to be with me? I know I’ve made you suffer the past few days. There are too many things going on at home, and I couldn’t free myself. I’ve neglected you, but..."

"I’m not a qualified wife. I didn’t manage the household well. Maybe I’m really not fit to be the Young Madam of the Gu Family. I’m not worthy."

Gu Yikun told her to stop saying such things, "Xi Xi, give me a few days."

"You should give me a few days too, to live quietly."

An Junxi took a breath in his arms. She used to think that his embrace was the safest place, but now she knew that President Gu had too many responsibilities. He couldn’t belong only to her.

She left his embrace, and Gu Yikun asked her one last time, "You’re disappointed in me, aren’t you?"

An Junxi didn’t answer. She silently got into the car.

How could she and he ever go back to the way they were before?

Frustrated, Gu Yikun kicked the door. The passing nurses didn’t dare to walk that way, taking a detour to avoid him.

When the president gets angry, it’s really terrifying. Anyone who encounters it would be in big trouble.

Yu Zheng called the president, "President, we found Chen Ming’s creditor. It’s a loan company. He also had a girlfriend who is being held here. If we rescue her, she might know something."

Gu Yikun said, "Wait for me to come and question her."

He got into the car and drove in another direction. An Junxi watched his car get farther and farther away. She knew he was busy, too busy to come home. From today on, for a long time, he might not come home at all.

She returned to the villa. Sister He knew about the Young Madam’s situation and chased after An Junxi asking, "Is the Young Madam awake?"

"She’s awake, but her emotions are very unstable."

Sister He recited a Buddhist prayer and saw An Junxi packing her luggage. She urgently asked, "Jun Xi, where are you going?"

An Junxi put down the clothes in her hand and hugged Sister He, "Sister He, thank you for taking care of us for so long."

Sister He was frightened, "Jun Xi, the Young Master only said those words in anger because he was worried about the Young Madam. He doesn’t want a divorce. Please don’t do this!"

An Junxi didn’t want to deceive herself, "Every angry word carries some truth. If he didn’t have that thought, he wouldn’t have said it. Don’t you think so?"

Once spoken, how can words be taken back?

Sister He grabbed the clothes from her hands, "Jun Xi, with all the scandals and the kidnapping these days, the Young Master is under a lot of pressure. He said the wrong thing in the heat of the moment. Please forgive him just this once!"

An Junxi told Sister He to stop persuading her, "I’m very confused. I’m taking Ai Xi to stay at Yuhua Mansion for a few days. Don’t worry about me."

Sister He was adamant, "How can you take care of Ai Xi by yourself? You still have to work."

It was then that An Junxi realized she might have to become a single mother in the future.

She gave a sarcastic laugh. She never thought she would become a single mother the day she brought her daughter back to the Gu Family.

"Sister He, there are more solutions than difficulties." She wasn’t very strong, but neither was she fragile.

For Ai Xi, she would strive to live well.

Sister He couldn’t persuade An Junxi. She went downstairs and called Gu Yikun, "Young Master, Jun Xi wants to take Ai Xi to Yuhua Mansion to stay."

Gu Yikun was driving on the road, and when he heard this, the steering wheel slipped in his hands.

The car veered off the road and was about to crash into a tree. Gu Yikun quickly turned the steering wheel twice with inertia, narrowly missing the tree as the car spun a half-circle down the road.

He slammed on the brakes and angrily pounded the car window.

Sister He heard the commotion on the other end of the phone and was scared, "Young Master, are you alright!"

"I won’t die," Gu Yikun reversed the car, saying, "Let her go. You follow her and take care of her."

Sister He dared not say more, "Okay, Young Master, drive carefully."

Gu Yikun hung up the phone. He wanted to rush home but was beset by countless responsibilities. He followed his original plan and headed to the public hospital.

Xue Chu was lying in the hospital ward, and Yu Zheng was guarding the door. When he saw the president arrive, he said, "She just woke up. She’s pregnant, and the doctor is concerned she might have a miscarriage."

Gu Yikun pushed the door open and entered. Xue Chu recognized it was President Gu.

She wasn’t surprised that President Gu came to see her. She knew something about Chen Ming and Mrs. Gu.

Gu Yikun said, "Tell me everything you know, and I’ll consider having the doctor help you keep the baby."

Xue Chu hadn’t recovered from the grief of Chen Ming’s death. Gu Yikun was impatient, "He didn’t have the guts to kidnap the Young Madam of the Gu Family. Someone must be behind this. If you don’t explain things clearly, this child won’t survive."

Xue Chu said, "He didn’t tell me much. I only know that he often borrowed money from Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu agreed to lend him money two or three times, but she refused the last time, and he got angry."

"He said if Mrs. Gu didn’t lend him money, the creditors would hack him to death on the street. Recently, he somehow got tens of thousands of yuan. He took me to eat, drink, and play, saying someone gave him money to spend."

"Who gave him the money?"

This large amount of money wasn’t found in the bank system, so it must have been a cash transaction.

Xue Chu said, "Chen Ming didn’t tell me. I overheard him once mentioning someone named... Miss He."

At this point, Yu Zheng was almost certain that the person behind this was He Sirui.

What he could think of, Gu Yikun could naturally think of too. He told Yu Zheng, "I need to know He Sirui’s recent whereabouts."

Yu Zheng went to investigate. Once the target was identified, it was impossible not to find anything.

Gu Yikun got up to leave, and Xue Chu called after him, "President Gu, will you really have the doctor help me keep the baby? I can’t afford the medical expenses."

Gu Yikun said, "You should be grateful that Chen Ming had a good sister. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be lying here."

Given his personality, even if Chen Ming was dead, the people around him wouldn’t have the chance to survive.

In consideration of Sister Chen, he could show leniency.

Xue Chu felt a sense of relief after a disaster, "Thank you, President Gu."

Gu Yikun returned to the company, muttering to himself that He’s Jewelry... had no sense of self-preservation.

An Junxi packed a simple luggage. Little Ai Xi woke up and asked her mommy, "Mommy, are we going out to play?"

An Junxi looked at her daughter’s clear, large eyes, holding back the loneliness in her heart. She asked her daughter, "Daddy is very, very busy with work. Let’s not disturb him. Ai Xi, let’s go stay with Grandma, okay?"

The baby pouted, "Is Grandma at home?"

"No, Grandpa and Grandma returned to their hometown."
