Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 517: This Feels Like a Date

This road isn’t far, and several times Gu Yikun wanted to hold her hand, but he didn’t have the courage.

He cheated, she said they couldn’t go back to the past, this was the barrier between them.

Gu Yikun thought, as long as she could forgive him, he would atone in any way possible.

He escorted her to the front of her home, and An Junxi said, "I’m going in. You should go back and sleep. Don’t stand downstairs. Do you want to be on the news? Let everyone know we’re separated?"

Gu Yikun listened to her intently. If she told him to go back, he would.

He said, "Xi Xi, it’s the weekend tomorrow. Xiao Yang wants us to bring the kids over for dinner. Can you come?"

An Junxi was straightforward this time, "Sure, Jin Xiu also wants to see him."

Gu Yikun was a bit excited, "Okay, I’ll come and pick you up tomorrow."

Fearing she might change her mind, he put the things back in her hands, saying, "Sleep early. I’ll come over tomorrow. Goodnight."

It was only after entering the house that a smile appeared on An Junxi’s face.

Sister He saw her smiling as she came back, puzzled that a trip to the supermarket could really lighten her mood?

Early the next morning, An Junxi got up. She opened her wardrobe to find clothes; they were going to Yue Xiaoyang’s house at noon, and she wanted to prepare early.

For some reason, it felt like going on a date.

She helped Ai Xi get dressed and brought the two children to breakfast. Gu Jinxiu was excited about visiting Uncle Yue’s house, "Great, I really want to see Uncle Yue!"

An Junxi briefly explained Yue Xiaoyang’s injury to Jin Xiu, "Uncle Yue accidentally hurt his leg. He’s almost recovered now. Don’t mention it when you see him, okay?"

Gu Jinxiu thought Uncle Yue must have pulled a muscle while working out and didn’t care much, "Okay, I got it!"

Before leaving, Gu Yikun sent her a message, "I’m on my way."

His tense mood from the night before persisted till now, thinking about seeing her soon, feeling as nervous as a first love.

Seeing his message, An Junxi replied with "Okay" and told Jin Xiu to look after his sister while she put on some light makeup.

Gu Jinxiu said, "Mommy is beautiful even without makeup. Daddy likes you just the same!"

An Junxi pinched his cheek, not putting on makeup to please Gu Yikun!

Gu Jinxiu giggled, wondering if mommy wasn’t mad since she was going out with daddy?

An Junxi wore a long dress, draped a coat over it, her long hair flowing over her shoulders, looking delicate and refined. She was quite satisfied with herself.

Gu Yikun met her with undisguised admiration in his eyes, "Xi Xi, you look beautiful."

Although An Junxi felt happy inside, she showed no concern for his compliment, taking her bag and leading the kids to the car.

Gu Yikun carried both children into the car as An Junxi followed. He didn’t bring a driver today; he was their chauffeur.

Upon arriving at the Yue family house, Mrs. Yue was overjoyed seeing the siblings, happily playing with the children, thinking when Xiao Yang would let her hold a grandchild.

Gu Yikun and An Junxi went to the gym to visit Yue Xiaoyang, who had just finished his rehabilitation. An Junxi didn’t see Adri in the gym.

"Is your personal assistant not working today?"

An Junxi’s question had a hint of hostility. Yue Xiaoyang replied, "She’s on leave."

Not wanting to press further, An Junxi hoped Yue Xiaoyang could handle things well.

Yue Xiaoyang gossiped, "Jun Xi, when are you moving back home?"

Gu Yikun also wanted to know when she would return home, looking at her fervently.

An Junxi said, "Where I currently live is my home."

Gu Yikun lowered his head, ruffling his hair with his fingers, looking utterly disappointed.

Yue Xiaoyang scolded Gu Yikun, "Gu Yikun, no matter how desperate you are, you can’t mistake someone else for your wife, can you? You’re such a beast!"

Looking at An Junxi’s expression, Gu Yikun weakly said, "I really thought she was Jun Xi. She looks so much like her..." He didn’t dare to make more excuses, knowing she was right; wrong was wrong.

Yue Xiaoyang took a sip of water and continued to berate Gu Yikun, "You must have been too desperate. I saw that woman, short and fat, with greasy hair and pimples all over her face. Yet you could still..."

Gu Yikun’s face showed disgust, as if he had swallowed a fly, hearing Yue Xiaoyang’s description.

What had he done?

An Junxi threw a water bottle at Yue Xiaoyang, "You jerk, are you asking for a beating, enjoying mocking me so much?"

Dodging her attack, Yue Xiaoyang defended himself, "I’m just playing along with you!"

Gu Yikun felt too ashamed to face his wife, becoming more silent, sending them home after dinner.

An Junxi almost wanted to confess to him but hadn’t decided how to say it. Gu Yikun was about to leave for a business trip to the United Kingdom.

An Junxi didn’t know if he was really going for a business trip or just to clear his mind. Before departure, he came to see her, hugging her, "Xi Xi, I love you. What more can I do?"

His words were fragmented, worrying An Junxi. She didn’t want him to leave, "Do you really have to go on this trip? Can’t you not go?"

Not knowing how to face her, Gu Yikun, hearing her words, asked with a glimmer of hope, "You don’t want me to go on the trip?"

An Junxi nodded, "Yes, I don’t want you to."

Gu Yikun’s hands trembled, not daring to ask for her forgiveness, only said, "If you don’t want me to, I won’t go."

Countless times he hated himself for making that mistake, otherwise, they wouldn’t be at a point of no return.

Just as An Junxi wanted to confess, she received a call from her mother. Her mother, excited, said her father’s surgery was very successful, and they would soon return to Yan City.

Only then did An Junxi learn that Gu Yikun had kept her father’s condition a secret.

Her parents had said they were going to Rixin’an for an ancestral ritual, and she really believed it, not knowing they were hiding the surgery from her.

Feeling a blockage in her heart, she confirmed with her mother, "The surgery was very successful, right?"

Mrs. An cried with joy, "Yes, Yikun arranged for the most experienced doctors. Your father will be able to come home after another half month of recovery."

An Junxi talked to her father, complaining, "Why did you keep this from me? I’m your daughter. Such a big deal as surgery, and I knew nothing about it. Do I deserve to be your daughter? You’re making me very sad!"

Her parents explained a lot, "We just didn’t want you to worry."

Considering her father was still recovering, no matter how angry, An Junxi couldn’t bring herself to be mad at them.

Rushed with emotion, she went to Gu’s Headquarters. Secretary Wang said the president was in a meeting, but she didn’t care what meeting it was and barged into the conference room.

Never acting so impulsively before, Gu Yikun was stunned along with all the executives when seeing her storm in.

He took her back to his office, where An Junxi kicked and punched him, "Gu Yikun, why did you keep my father’s surgery from me?"

Understanding the reason, Gu Yikun held her hands, "I heard from the doctor that the surgery was very successful."

An Junxi’s eyes blurred with tears, "Yes, it was very successful. But have you ever thought that surgeries aren’t always one hundred percent successful? What if... I’m his daughter, knowing nothing. How does that make sense!"
