Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 491: Going to Stay at Grandma’s Place
The baby asked, "What is a hometown?"
"A hometown is where Mommy was born. It’s very far away. Grandpa and Grandma will go back and stay there for half a month."
"Can’t we stay at home? When Daddy is not busy, Daddy will come home and won’t see us."
An Junxi’s eyes became a bit blurred. She turned her head and blinked, saying, "Daddy has to stay at the company. The company is too busy."
"Is Daddy making money to buy toys for the baby?"
"Yes, Daddy has to make money and work." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"I have a little piggy bank. I’ll give all my money to Daddy. Can Daddy come home then?"
An Junxi kissed her daughter, "Ai Xi, be good. Daddy has to work. Let’s not disturb Daddy for now."
The little baby had tears welling up in her big eyes, "Daddy can work in the study. The baby can play on the floor alone and won’t bother Daddy."
An Junxi couldn’t hold back her tears. She wiped her tears with a tissue, and Ai Xi cried too. "Okay, let’s not disturb Daddy. Mommy won’t cry."
An Junxi’s eyes were red from crying. Ai Xi, Mommy is taking you away like this, not letting you see Daddy. Isn’t it too selfish?
Gu Kuangyuan knew about the family matters. She secretly went to the hospital to see Gu Qianlan and heard from the nurse that Gu Qianlan had been given a sedative and hadn’t woken up yet.
Gu Kuangyuan didn’t dare to face her older brother and sister-in-law, for fear of making her brother even angrier.
She asked the doctor about Gu Qianlan’s condition. The doctor roughly explained and finally said, "The presence of family members is crucial for the patient’s recovery, but the old madam has been too agitated recently."
Gu Kuangyuan asked a few more questions and learned about the incident where her sister-in-law had a physical altercation with An Junxi at the hospital.
She said, "Please let me know when Qianlan wakes up."
"I will."
After leaving the hospital, Gu Kuangyuan didn’t go home. She went to the Gu Family Villa.
Given the situation at home, her brother and sister-in-law couldn’t understand Jun Xi, and she knew Jun Xi would feel terrible.
Yi Ke was busy trying to find out the truth, and Gu Kuangyuan couldn’t blame him. She just worried that this matter would cause a rift between the couple.
When Gu Yikun is calm, he can be very calm. But if he acts impulsively... it’s also very distressing.
Gu Kuangyuan texted Cheng Ye: I am going to see Jun Xi, will be home later.
The lawsuit Cheng Ye took over was tricky. She couldn’t help with his case and hadn’t mentioned the family matter to him.
The He Family’s lawsuit was too complicated and even Cheng Ye found it difficult. Gu Kuangyuan didn’t want to add to his stress.
Cheng Ye quickly replied, saying, "Let me know when you’re back. I’ll come pick you up."
Gu Kuangyuan said, "No need, I’ll have Xiao Liu take me. You focus on your work."
Cheng Ye replied, "Then I’ll wait for you at home."
Gu Kuangyuan felt a bit warm inside.
Cheng Ye treated her well in every aspect, making her feel more certain that she had chosen the right person.
When she arrived at the villa, An Junxi was already getting ready to leave.
An Junxi had placed her things in the hall but had forgotten her ID card, so she went back to the third floor to get it.
Ai Xi was sitting on the sofa hugging her doll, with tear stains on her little face.
She wanted to see Daddy.
Gu Kuangyuan walked through the main door and saw the luggage in the hall. Her heart sank. Were these two really breaking up?
Little Ai Xi climbed down from the sofa, "Auntie!"
Gu Kuangyuan picked up Ai Xi, "My little sweetheart, who made you cry?"
Ai Xi pouted but dared not cry; if she cried, Mommy would cry too.
Gu Kuangyuan asked the maid beside her, "What’s going on? Where’s the Young Madam?"
The maid didn’t dare to ask anything. They didn’t know what had happened. "The Young Madam packed her luggage, but we don’t know where she’s going."
The baby said, "Mommy is going to live with Grandma."
Gu Kuangyuan’s heart skipped a beat. Isn’t this a separation? Has it really come to this?
She put the child on the sofa, "Ai Xi, be good and stay here. Auntie is going to find Mommy."
Ai Xi was very obedient, "Okay."
An Junxi took her ID card. She didn’t take any of her jewelry. When she walked out of the room, she saw the wedding ring on her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then took it off and put it in the drawer.
Without the ring on her hand, it felt empty.
An Junxi closed the drawer and told herself, She would get used to it.
As she walked out of the room again, she saw Gu Kuangyuan coming towards her.
An Junxi stopped there, "Auntie, why are you here?"
"If I didn’t come, you two would get divorced. Do you want to wait until after the divorce to tell me?"
An Junxi didn’t dare to look at her aunt, "We need to cool down."
"The house is so big. If you need to cool down, just sleep in separate rooms. You stay on the second floor, and he stays on the third floor. You won’t run into each other for a year if you don’t want to. Is it necessary to move out? An Junxi, separating is very irrational."
An Junxi was not at ease with this decision either, "Auntie, you know what Yi Ke and I have been through. I’m not pulling a stunt by moving out. Recently, I really... want to escape, and don’t want to deal with anything. Do you understand my feelings?"
"I don’t understand. I just want to ask you, did you ask for Ai Xi’s opinion before taking her away? Do you want her to grow up in an unhealthy family environment?"
An Junxi covered her head, "Auntie, please let me have some peace and stop asking me so many questions!"
"If I don’t ask these questions, they don’t exist? Jun Xi, no one’s life is smooth and uneventful. You can’t just run away like this."
"He told me to get a divorce. If Cheng Ye told you to get a divorce, what would you do? Stick around shamelessly? I am just an outsider in the Gu Family. My in-laws will always blame everything on me. I don’t want to be involved in the Gu Family’s trivial matters anymore. Am I wrong?"
Gu Kuangyuan hugged An Junxi, patting her back, "Auntie knows you’ve been wronged a lot. There’s nothing you can’t overcome, right? If you want to move out, then move out. But you have to give yourself a deadline. After a maximum cooling-off period, come back. Don’t ruin this marriage and your child’s childhood. Once you miss out, you can’t make it up."
"I know Yi Ke loves you. His impulsive words were a mistake too. I’ll help you scold him."
An Junxi cried on her aunt’s shoulder, "Auntie, he said if anything happened to Qianlan, we would get a divorce."
Gu Kuangyuan comforted her, "Yi Ke has neglected Qianlan in recent years. When he said that, he was blaming himself, not you. He’s the pillar of the family and shoulders all the pressure. His words are hurtful when he’s impulsive. He even cursed me out, but I forgave him, didn’t I?"
An Junxi choked up, "I won’t forgive him so easily."
Gu Kuangyuan held An Junxi’s hand and noticed she had taken off her wedding ring. She calmly said, "Don’t stay at Yuhua Mansion for too long. A month or two should be enough. He will realize his mistake."
An Junxi nodded, "We’ll see."
Initially, she was determined to divorce, but her aunt’s words made it sound like a temporary move-out.
No matter what, she didn’t want to stay here now.
