Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 514: Mr. Gu, Let’s See How You Will Compensate Me
Gu Yikun sat on the bed in utter despair. As time passed by, he felt more and more hopeless.
He loved her, he loved their child, he didn’t want to lose this family.
If Xi Xi knew... he couldn’t imagine.
He had been confident he could coax her back home, but now he didn’t even have the face for it.
He had betrayed her; what face did he have to try to win her back?
Gu Yikun tried to recall his memories before he sobered up, but his head hurt intensely, and he couldn’t remember anything.
He remembered resisting, even pushing that woman away, but why did it still happen?
Where exactly did things go wrong? No matter what, he would never touch another woman... Oh, it was the scent on her that confused him.
The scent on her was exactly the same as Xi Xi’s, he couldn’t help himself.
Gu Yikun’s face grew cold; whoever caused this, he would never tolerate it.
He put on his robe and got up, feeling a wave of dizziness.
Gu Yikun went to splash cold water on his face, sobering up a bit. His clothes had been soaked, and there wasn’t a single piece he could wear.
The service attendant, following the general manager’s instructions, brought a brand new suit. He rang the doorbell, and Gu Yikun opened the door. The coldness on Gu’s face made the attendant’s legs go weak. He said, "President Gu, this is from our general manager."
Handing over the clothes, the attendant fled.
Gu Yikun put on the clothes and went to Yue Xiaoyang’s office, "Who was that woman? I want to see the surveillance footage."
Yue Xiaoyang sighed, "She ran too quickly, I didn’t see clearly. It’s all my useless legs’ fault, I couldn’t catch up."
"Get me the surveillance footage."
"I checked the footage before you even woke up, but unfortunately, the surveillance system was broken today and wasn’t fixed in time. We can’t see anything. The security office made such a low-level mistake, I scolded them terribly, it really pissed me off."
Yue Xiaoyang beat his chest in frustration, and Gu Yikun didn’t want to affect his recovery, so he didn’t press further.
He was now standing at the edge of despair, not knowing what to do next.
Yue Xiaoyang knew that once Gu Yikun encountered anything related to An Junxi, he would turn into an idiot, not to mention that he had committed an unforgivable sin.
The current President Gu was like a lost lamb. Yue Xiaoyang "kindly" advised him, "Even if you find out who she was, what would it change? What’s done is done. You should think about how to win her back; that’s the real issue. Don’t get caught up in trivialities."
Gu Yikun buried his hands in his hair, feeling as useless as a pile of mud.
Yue Xiaoyang wasn’t wrong; he had to think about how to face her.
The office was silent. Gu Yikun sat despondently when An Junxi called him.
Seeing the word "wife" on the screen pained him; he didn’t dare to answer.
He let the phone ring twice, but he was too afraid to answer; he hadn’t figured out what to do yet.
The helpless President Gu made Yue Xiaoyang feel a slight pang of conscience. Would Gu Yikun break his other leg if he found out the truth?
After calling twice and getting no answer, An Junxi thought he was resting and didn’t call again.
I’ll talk to him tomorrow, let him come to the hospital for a check-up to see if the medication caused any harm.
Gu Yikun wandered to Yuhua Mansion in the middle of the night, sitting downstairs until dawn.
As the sky gradually brightened, just when he was about to freeze, Xiao Liu came to pick up Gu Jinxiu for school.
Seeing the president sitting there, Xiao Liu asked, "President, why don’t you go upstairs?"
Gu Yikun’s dead eyes came to life; he was very scared, scared to see her.
Since Xiao Liu was here, she would soon bring the child down.
Gu Yikun wanted to run, but his legs wouldn’t move.
Without waiting for the president’s answer, Xiao Liu didn’t dare ask more. The president’s expression was off; better not court death.
The pedestrian traffic on the community road increased, and passersby were discussing, "Isn’t that President Gu? Why is he here?"
"Don’t worry about it, we can’t afford to mess with these big shots."
The elevator door opened, and groups of people walked out, but she and the child were nowhere to be seen.
Gu Yikun wanted to see her, but was afraid to see her; his hands trembled. How should he talk to her later?
Finally, Gu Jinxiu appeared, accompanied by Aunt He.
Aunt He, seeing the young master turned into an ice sculpture downstairs, exclaimed, "Young master, you sat here all night?"
Gu Jinxiu called out "Dad," and Gu Yikun had Xiao Liu take Jinxiu to school, then asked Aunt He, "Has Xi Xi woken up?"
Aunt He said, "Ai Xi had a cold and was hospitalized yesterday. Jun Xi stayed at the hospital all night to care for her. I’m planning to go over there later."
Gu Yikun felt utterly hopeless.
His daughter was in the hospital with a cold, and he was in bed with another woman... His tall frame wavered, and Aunt He hurried to support him, "Young master, what’s wrong with you!"
Gu Yikun didn’t speak; he wanted to drive, but Aunt He, fearing for his safety, insisted on finding a driver to take them to the hospital.
Gu Yikun walked heavily to the door of the ward. He couldn’t even forgive himself; how could he face her and their daughter?
Aunt He didn’t know what was up with the young master. She pushed open the door; An Junxi was already up, washing and eating breakfast.
She asked Aunt He, "Jinxiu didn’t notice anything, right?"
"The little master didn’t, but the young master seems a bit out of sorts."
"What’s wrong? Is he here?"
Aunt He pointed outside the door, "He is. He sat downstairs all night without saying a word. Should we have the doctor check on him later?"
An Junxi walked out, seeing Gu Yikun leaning against the wall, his face extremely pale.
She asked him, "Why don’t you come in?"
Gu Yikun pulled her into an adjacent room, holding her without saying a word for a long time. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
An Junxi thought he was worried about their daughter. She said, "Ai Xi is fine, the doctor said she would recover in two days with medication."
Gu Yikun still didn’t speak.
An Junxi asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Yikun buried his head in her shoulder. An Junxi didn’t know what he was doing, but let him hold her.
After a while, cold droplets fell on her neck.
An Junxi was startled. Was he crying?
The dignified and aloof President Gu, when had he ever shed tears?
An Junxi panicked, thinking the medication had severe side effects?
She looked up at him, "Yikun, what’s wrong with you? Tell me quickly."
Her concern made Gu Yikun feel deeply ashamed. For the first time, he cried like a child in front of her.
An Junxi was anxious, "Say something!"
Gu Yikun looked at her with infatuation and pain, "Xi Xi, if you want to divorce me, I’ll leave with nothing. I won’t want anything, and I will never look at another woman in this life, but can you promise me, don’t remarry."
An Junxi’s heart turned cold. They were together just yesterday, and he was asking for a divorce after waking up?
"Why?"
"I did something last night that wronged you. I... mistook another woman for you."
He held her tight, continually apologizing.
An Junxi’s heart warmed, slyly smiling in his arms.
What a beautiful misunderstanding.
Mr. Gu, it’s finally my turn to take the stage. After all the grievances I’ve suffered, let’s see how you make it up to me.
An Junxi suddenly realized that, when it came to cunning, she was even more devious than President Gu, hehe.
