Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 493: Allowing You to Escape for a While

Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Allowing You to Escape for a While

The baby persistently asked, "Where will daddy sleep when he comes? Mommy’s bed is small."

An Junxi thought to herself, she never agreed to let that bastard come over.

She coaxed her daughter, "Daddy is too busy to come over."

Ai Xi muttered, "But isn’t brother good at finding ways?"

An Junxi didn’t hear clearly, "What did you say, baby?"

The little baby covered her mouth and shook her head. An Junxi patted her bottom, "Go to sleep, stop playing."

The baby crawled into the bed, "Mommy, I want to say goodnight to daddy."

An Junxi took out her phone, "You can send daddy a WeChat message yourself."

Ai Xi recognized daddy’s profile picture. She was a little WeChat expert and clicked on his profile picture to say, "Daddy, I’m going to sleep, goodnight."

Gu Yikun replied quickly, "Goodnight, baby. Listen to mommy."

An Junxi was organizing clothes in front of the wardrobe. She paused for a moment when she heard Gu Yikun’s voice message, then continued putting the folded clothes away.

Little Ai Xi put the phone aside, "Daddy said goodnight."

"Hmm, go to sleep."

An Junxi coaxed her daughter to sleep. Only when Ai Xi was asleep did she go to take a shower.

Mrs. He was cleaning the kitchen. An Junxi told her to rest, "It’s late now, Mrs. He, you should go to bed early."

Mrs. He was a busybody. "I’ll go to bed after I throw out the trash."

An Junxi changed into a set of clothes, "I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some things, I’ll take out the trash."

Mrs. He let her go. The security in this neighborhood was good, the area was quite safe.

An Junxi asked Mrs. He to watch Ai Xi for a while and took the trash downstairs.

Each building had a garbage collection room at the back. An Junxi pushed open the glass door on the first floor, took two steps out, then retreated and hid behind a pillar.

A car was parked at the entrance. A man in a suit was sitting on the hood, smoking.

Under the streetlight, An Junxi couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, but she could tell from his tall frame that it was Gu Yikun.

Through the small gap in the glass, she wondered, why didn’t he go home? He even changed his car.

Gu Yikun smoked a few cigarettes. He threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and looked up at the balcony upstairs.

From here, he couldn’t see their balcony at all. He just wanted to take a look.

An Junxi waited behind the pillar. Gu Yikun was fiddling with his phone, replaying the voice message: "Daddy, I’m going to sleep, goodnight."

An Junxi leaned against the wall. She had just moved the kids over here, did he want to come over now?

When they first talked about "divorce," did he not think about being separated from the kids?

An Junxi bit her lip. After about twenty minutes, her legs were tired. Gu Yikun sent a few messages, then finally got in the car and left.

An Junxi threw the trash away. She sat quietly on a bench downstairs and forgot about going to the supermarket.

Mrs. He came downstairs to find her, "Jun Xi, what are you doing sitting here? Didn’t you go to the supermarket?" An Junxi didn’t bring her phone. Seeing her not come back for so long, Mrs. He got worried and came down to check on her.

An Junxi said, "I forgot, never mind, I’ll go tomorrow."

"The weather is getting colder now, you should bring an extra coat when you go out at night."

"Okay," An Junxi held Mrs. He’s hand, "Mrs. He, sometimes you really feel like my mom."

Mrs. He laughed, "If I had such a beautiful daughter like you, I’d be grinning even in my sleep."

Mrs. He was the last generation of single women who never married, having worked for the Gu Family all her life.

An Junxi was very grateful to have such an elder by her side. Mrs. He had helped her a lot.

She only saw the WeChat messages when she got back to the room.

Gu Yikun had sent her a message: "Xi Xi, give me a few days."

Judging by the time, he must have sent it while under the streetlight.

An Junxi didn’t want to reply. She threw the phone aside and sat down to apply body lotion.

She couldn’t erase the image of Gu Yikun smoking alone under the streetlight from her mind. She picked up the phone, walked out to the balcony, and dialed a number.

Xiao Liu answered quickly, "Young Madam, what do you need?"

An Junxi asked directly, "Did the president change his car? Why did he suddenly change his car?"

Xiao Liu said, "The president’s car is in the shop. I didn’t dare to ask, but judging by the scratches on one side and the tire damage, he might have had an accident."

The president’s car is one of only two in the world, and just maintaining it costs a fortune. Seeing it damaged like this pained him.

But to the president, this was nothing; he had plenty of cars.

An Junxi’s heart raced, "What kind of accident? Is the president hurt?"

She tried to stay calm, but she couldn’t lie to herself. She was still worried about him.

"The president is fine. He went out this morning, then back to the company, and just came back from there."

Even though she couldn’t get more information out of Xiao Liu, An Junxi said, "Don’t tell the president I called."

Xiao Liu didn’t understand what Young Madam meant by this, but he agreed, "Okay, I’ll come by tomorrow morning to take the young master to school."

An Junxi put down the phone. She paced on the balcony for a while, then pushed open Jin Xiu’s room door.

Gu Jin Xiu was still awake. An Junxi asked him, "Can’t get used to this bed?"

Gu Jin Xiu sat up, "I don’t know if daddy went home yet."

An Junxi immediately said, "You can call home to find out."

Gu Jin Xiu squinted, "Mommy, you want to know too, right?"

An Junxi immediately denied, "Who said I want to know? If you want to call, do it. If not, I’m going to sleep."

Gu Jin Xiu hurriedly took mommy’s phone, "I’ll call."

An Junxi sat down, "Go ahead."

Gu Jin Xiu, a little rascal, asked, "Mommy, is there anything you want to ask daddy but are too shy to ask? I can help you ask."

An Junxi wouldn’t admit it, "I have nothing to ask."

Gu Jin Xiu was slightly disappointed, "Alright then, I’ll call."

He dialed daddy’s number, and after two rings, An Junxi grabbed the phone and hung up.

Gu Jin Xiu was confused, "Mommy?"

An Junxi cleared her throat, "Wait, when you do call, ask if he’s feeling unwell anywhere. Don’t say I asked, or I won’t make you breakfast tomorrow."

"That’s so mean, threatening a child."

An Junxi pretended to be angry, "Don’t want to do it?"

"Of course I will, if mommy asks, I will!"

Gu Jin Xiu reluctantly dialed again, "Sure you don’t have anything else to ask?"

An Junxi knocked his head, "Nothing else."

Gu Yikun returned home, wandering like a ghost up to the third floor. A place without his wife and kids couldn’t be called home.

He had thought about going to Yuhua Mansion to see her. He actually did go, but couldn’t muster the courage to go upstairs.

She had said she was tired and didn’t want to see him.

He didn’t want to see the disgust in her eyes, so he restrained himself from disturbing her.

An Junxi, I will allow you to avoid me for a while, but you wanting a divorce, that’s absolutely impossible.
