Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 513: Betrayed Her

In Yue Xiaoyang’s impression, Adri was quiet and not as wild and unrestrained as other Western girls. She was so quiet that he didn’t even feel like there was another person in the room when they were together.

When he fell into that dark and desperate world, her thoughtfulness and dedication were very helpful to his condition.

She took great care of him and said it was her duty.

Yue Xiaoyang also thought she was doing it out of a strict sense of duty. If it hadn’t been for An Junxi’s reminder that day, he wouldn’t have realized that Adri’s feelings for him had gone beyond duty.

He didn’t want to confront it, and he had no intention of keeping her around. He found an opportunity to say to her, "My condition has improved a lot; I don’t need a personal assistant anymore. When do you want to return home? I’ll have my secretary book a flight for you."

He gave her a generous reward and tried to speak as tactfully as possible, hoping she would be satisfied with this outcome.

Adri didn’t take the check. She had always feared hearing these words, and Mr. Yue ultimately asked her to leave.

She knew this day would come, just didn’t expect it to come so soon.

Initially, Mr. Yue had no intention of bringing her back to China; this opportunity was something she fought for. She said, "I hope to continue taking care of you, Mr. Yue. I need to earn tuition for my degree. Please keep me employed, won’t you?"

Yue Xiaoyang said, "I can lend you the tuition, and you can repay it later." Westerners are usually unwilling to accept charity; saying "lend" makes it easier for them to accept.

Adri did not agree. She made a cross over her chest and said, "The Lord will not forgive me for gaining something without working for it. Mr. Yue, please grant my request."

This left Yue Xiaoyang with no reason to refuse. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford such a small amount.

Adri traveled with him all the way to unfamiliar China and entered his home there.

She was the only one by his side; his mother was very gentle with her, grateful that she took such good care of Mr. Yue.

This gave Adri the illusion that they would live this way.

After returning to China, Adri discovered that Mr. Yue often paid attention to a Chinese girl, even waiting at her company’s entrance just to catch a glimpse of her.

Adri accompanied him by his side, smiling on the outside while feeling a sharp pain in her heart.

She knew that Mr. Yue loved that girl.

That girl was very beautiful, a classic oriental beauty. Adri watched from afar, feeling envious of how she could make Mr. Yue so dedicated to her.

Adri had been with Mr. Yue for more than half a year and did not want to leave just like that.

Adri found the most absurd way, intending to give herself to him.

She was a devout Christian who strictly prohibited premarital sex. For Mr. Yue, she was willing to sell her soul to Satan.

She really did it. Reality proved that the Lord would not allow her to fall.

It was unexpected for Mr. Gu to appear in the private room. Here, Mr. Gu was very relaxed, drinking the tea she prepared for Mr. Yue without any suspicion.

The tea was already bitter, and adding a bit of something made it hard to taste.

She didn’t know how to wrap things up and could only take Mr. Yue away first.

She wanted to act as if nothing had happened, but her anxiety made her return to the room to check.

There she encountered An Junxi.

Adri kept up with news in China and knew that this lady was Mr. Gu’s wife.

She thought, with Mr. Gu’s wife here, he should be alright.

Mrs. Gu questioned why she did this, and Adri fled in a panic.

She wandered the streets, not knowing how to face Mr. Yue.

Mr. Yue would surely despise her.

An Junxi, enduring physical discomfort, went to the hospital, where Ai Xi was asleep in the ward.

The doctor said it was an influenza caused by an infection, due to the recent sharp drop in temperature, many children developed similar symptoms. A few days of medication would fix it.

An Junxi was still worried and watched over her by the bed.

Nanny He saw her looking pale and said, "Jun Xi, are you feeling unwell? Should I get the doctor to check on you?"

An Junxi said, "It’s nothing, just a bit tired from work."

Nanny He advised, "You don’t need to push yourself too hard at work. The family has enough money to last several lifetimes. Your health is important."

An Junxi responded, "Got it."

Nanny He had to go home to watch over the young master. She said, "It’s time for the young master to be off work; I’ll notify him to come over."

An Junxi quickly said, "No need, don’t call him." Who knew if he had woken up yet? Even if he had, he would still be feeling unwell. There was no need to inform him since their daughter wasn’t seriously ill. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Nanny He didn’t know the whole story and nagged, "Jun Xi, don’t fight with the young master. How can you not let him know when his daughter is unwell?"

An Junxi was already tired and Nanny He’s nagging gave her a headache, "Nanny He, I want a quiet night."

Nanny He saw that she was really not feeling well and did not say more, "Then I will come over after the young master is asleep to take over for you." Although the private hospital had dedicated nurses, Nanny He always felt better taking care of things herself.

"Stay at home and look after Jin Xiu. Don’t come over tonight either, he has exams tomorrow. Don’t let him know his sister is sick."

Nanny He had forgotten about that, "Then it will be a hard night for you."

"It’s nothing; everything we need is here. It’s no trouble."

Nanny He went home, leaving An Junxi to keep watch at the hospital all night.

Around eight or nine in the evening, An Junxi thought Gu Yikun should have had enough sleep by now and called him.

She dialed twice, but he didn’t pick up. An Junxi started to worry; could the medication have a strong effect, making him sleep for a long time?

Gu Yikun slept until dusk. After waking up, he habitually reached for the spot next to his pillow and said, "Xi Xi."

Yue Xiaoyang tossed him a wet towel, thank goodness that President Gu was finally awake. He thought they would have to spend the night here.

The wet towel landed on his face, and Gu Yikun woke up with a start. He sat up, and Yue Xiaoyang turned his head, "Gu Yikun, put on your clothes, I am not interested in men."

Gu Yikun was puzzled for a moment, why was he here, and what had happened?

His head pounded like it was splitting apart, he rubbed his temples, and then noticed something wrong with his body.

The messy bed revealed everything; he wasn’t stupid—the traces were from intimate moments.

"How am I here? I remember there was a woman..."

He vaguely remembered Xi Xi coming over; where was she?

Yue Xiaoyang, having been scolded unjustly by An Junxi and waiting all this time, suddenly felt the urge to mess with Gu Yikun.

He hadn’t had anything to amuse him since his injury. Finally back in China, he found a bit of joy in life again.

If not to mess with his brother, what was the point?

He said earnestly, "You know what you did. When I arrived, I saw a woman fleeing. With my leg, I couldn’t catch up. Think about how to explain this to An Junxi."

Gu Yikun’s world collapsed.

He punched himself and cursed.

Yue Xiaoyang propped himself on his crutch as he left, adding a sprinkle of salt on the wound, "You know Xi Xi’s temper... she cannot tolerate betrayal. If she learns of your infidelity, hehe..."

Gu Yikun couldn’t forgive himself. How could he have mistaken another woman for her?
