Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 541: Gentle Only to You

Gu Yikun knew what his wife meant by "help," and seeing her nestled in his lap like a small bird, he thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of being depended on. Deliberately pretending to be troubled, he asked, "The company is a bit busy. What do you want me to help with?"

Seeing her husband so troubled, An Junxi wrapped her arms around his neck and acted coy, "Si Yuan Education is in a bit of a crisis and needs Gu Family’s public relations help. Please agree, Mr. Gu, President Gu."

Gu Yikun’s arm held her waist, "Hmm, this..."

An Junxi kissed him on the cheek, "Honey, please."

Gu Yikun very much enjoyed this, holding back his laughter, seriously said, "This is a matter for Teng Xia Industry, you should talk to Xiaoyang."

Tracing circles on her husband’s chest with her finger, An Junxi said, "Talking to Yue Xiaoyang is frustrating. Of course, asking my husband for help is more reliable."

Gu Yikun, aroused by her, felt his body temperature rise and dared not continue the playful banter, knowing he’d suffer in the end.

He grasped her mischievous hand in his palm, "I’ll talk to Xiaoyang."

This was a good opportunity for Xiaoyang; he certainly couldn’t interfere.

An Junxi pouted and said, "Can’t you help? One word from you and the Gu Family’s PR department will step in."

The outside world didn’t know that Gu Family and Si Yuan were no longer partnership; Gu Family stepping in would be very logical.

Gu Yikun placed his hand on her lower abdomen, slowly explaining, "In the future, Si Yuan will have to deal with Teng Xia Industry. Gong Xiaoyu doesn’t want to approach Xiaoyang now, but she will have to eventually. We can’t interfere."

An Junxi pinched his ear, "So you really won’t help?"

Seeing the little wildcat about to explode, Gu Yikun forgot that the person in front was a pregnant woman; how could he reason with her?

Without a word, he kissed her forcefully. An Junxi got angry at his trick and resisted, "No..."

Gu Yikun steadied her body, his kisses overpowering. An Junxi, weak and powerless, was no match for him.

She didn’t want to surrender but he was so skilled she couldn’t think straight, becoming weak and helpless.

An Junxi collapsed in his arms, whining, lost again.

Satisfied, Gu Yikun released her. Panting, An Junxi leaned on his chest, "Gu Yikun, you..."

Gu Yikun kissed her again, "What did you call me?"

"Gu Yi... mm."

"I’ll give you one more chance."

"Husband."

"Good girl," Gu Yikun gently brushed her smooth hair, carrying her to the bedroom, "If you’re tired, take a nap."

An Junxi grabbed his clothes, "I’m not tired. You haven’t agreed yet."

Gu Yikun placed her on the bed, "Really not tired?"

An Junxi was a bit tired, but the senior sister’s issue hadn’t been resolved; how could she sleep?

She sat up, "I’m really not tired."

Seeing her fatigue yet not daring to sleep, Gu Yikun rubbed her little head, "I promise you, Si Yuan’s problem will soon be solved."

"Will you help?"

"I’ll have Xiaoyang handle it, okay? Ai Xi’s mom." Truly, he had no choice.

An Junxi clung to his hand, "Two days, will that be okay?"

"Yes."

She felt a bit relieved, "I’ll go check on Ai Xi."

Climbing off the bed, Gu Yikun saw her rash behavior and pulled her by the waist, "Wifey, it’s fine if you’re lively usually, but can’t you be a bit more ladylike now that you’re pregnant?" What if she hurt the baby?

He could never relax, guarding her closely everywhere, afraid she might get hurt.

An Junxi punched him, "Are you annoyed with me? If you like ladies, go find someone else."

Gu Yikun protested, "Why would I look for someone else? Is there anyone prettier than my wife?"

"So you’re saying if I’m not pretty anymore, you won’t like me, right?"

Gu Yikun finally realized women’s thinking made no sense. He unconditionally yielded, "My wife is always the most beautiful. No matter what, I will love you."

Curious, An Junxi asked, "Why?"

"Because no one else is you. I only love An Junxi. No one can replace you. Only you can make me miss you all the time, silly girl."

An Junxi felt touched, "Hate it, you just know how to sweet talk me."

Gu Yikun couldn’t believe he said such sappy things. He gently kissed her forehead, "Xi Xi, I only say these things to you."

An Junxi felt strangely satisfied. He was usually cold outside but tender only to her. "Alright, I believe you."

She got out of bed, "I’m gonna see our daughter."

Gu Yikun reassured her, "Ai Xi now enjoys playing with grandma. Don’t worry."

An Junxi said, "That little one, now prefers grandma over mom."

Gu Yikun didn’t mind, "Ai Xi hasn’t seen her grandma for a long time. Isn’t it good for her to get closer? Makes the elders happy."

Listening to him, An Junxi lay back on the bed, "You still have work to do in the office?"

Gu Yikun sat beside her, "I’ll wait until you fall asleep."

"You don’t have to. Go ahead with your work. I can’t help with your business matters. I can’t rely on you for everything."

"It’s my duty as your husband to take care of you during your pregnancy," Gu Yikun patted her back, coaxing her like a child, "Sleep now, and afterwards we’ll go for a walk."

Closing her eyes, An Junxi leaned her cheek against his leg, "It’s cold outside, I don’t want to go." She had been feeling lazy lately, unwilling to move.

Gu Yikun pinched her cheek, "Walking inside is the same. You need proper exercise."

Touching her belly, An Junxi asked, "Yi Ke, do you think it’s a boy or girl?"

"I love both boys and girls," Gu Yikun bent down, kissing her, his fingers tenderly caressing her face, "Xi Xi, after this child, we shouldn’t have more. Too exhausting."

During her morning sickness, he felt heartbroken, unable to help, utterly powerless.

Now she could manage to eat a bit, less suffering than at the start, yet he knew the hardest part was still ahead.

For this little woman to bear his child, he couldn’t fathom how much pain she’d endure.

In caring for his wife over the past few months, Gu Yikun felt even more guilty. He hadn’t been there when she was expecting Ai Xi, unaware of how she coped.

All he could do was treat her twice as well to make up a little for past regrets.

An Junxi knew her husband truly cared, she shifted inside the bed, "Honey, sleep with me."

Unable to refuse, Gu Yikun lay down beside her. An Junxi found a comfortable position in his arms, "Still, your arms are the coziest."

Embracing his fragrant and warm wife, Gu Yikun suddenly said, "Xi Xi, once the child is born, I’ll settle the interest with you."

It took An Junxi a while to respond, rendered speechless, "You... can’t you think of something else for one day?"

"Like what?"
