Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 542: Awestruck by Husband’s Handsomeness
An Junxi knew he was deliberately teasing her. She wasn’t as thick-skinned as he was. "I don’t need you to accompany me. I want to sleep alone. You go busy yourself."
Gu Yikun simply wouldn’t leave. "No, I want to sleep with you."
An Junxi despised him. "President Gu, you’re so childish."
Gu Yikun propped up on his arms and looked down at her. "Who do you say is childish?"
An Junxi didn’t want to play anymore, fearing he might try to kiss her forcefully again. "I’m really tired."
Gu Yikun stopped teasing her and lay down. "Go to sleep."
An Junxi first returned a call to her senior sister. "Senior sister, Yikun said he will resolve this in the next two days. Tengxia Industry might need to step in... don’t worry, Yue Xiaoyang won’t dare to threaten you."
Gong Xiaoyu thought, would Yue Xiaoyang let go of this opportunity? With her story plastered with scandalous rumors by the media, he must be overjoyed.
Gong Xiaoyu didn’t want to disturb An Junxi’s pregnancy. "Alright, I’ll handle it."
An Junxi hung up the phone and said to Gu Yikun, "Does Yue Xiaoyang really want to get back together with my senior sister? Why is he still upset with her?" Do all men think so strangely?
Gu Yikun felt sorry for Yue Xiaoyang. "He doesn’t know how to love. It’s not his fault."
An Junxi asked him, "You’re speaking as if you’re an expert in love."
Gu Yikun didn’t want to fall into that trap. "I only love with you."
Having listened to enough of his sweet talk, An Junxi closed her eyes. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Gu Yikun’s phone rang.
Gu Yikun went to the balcony to take the call. She vaguely heard something about "...going to the company."
She stayed awake and waited for Gu Yikun to come back. "Are you going to the company tomorrow?" she asked.
Gu Yikun replied, "Yes, I need to go for a bit, but I’ll come back quickly."
An Junxi rubbed her eyes. "I want to go with you."
Gu Yikun spoke softly, "Aren’t you afraid of the cold outside, Mrs. Gu?"
"I won’t be cold with you around."
Not wanting her out of his sight, Gu Yikun agreed. "Alright, but you must promise me not to wander around the company."
"Where else would I go but stay in your office?"
Seeing his wife’s sensible mindset, Gu Yikun rewarded her with a kiss. "Exactly, only in my office."
An Junxi still wondered why her husband insisted on going to the company. She understood when she saw the news after waking up.
He Feng was sentenced to twelve years. After he paid the corresponding penalties, He’s Jewelry underwent a resource restructuring. He Feng was stripped of his board position, and the shareholders, unaffected by the scandal, shared the reformed assets.
A prestigious jewelry family had fallen, drawing sighs from many.
Jiang Liu and He Sirui never appeared in public, though many media outlets tried to dig into the He Family’s secrets. Unfortunately, they couldn’t find any leads, not even on He Sirui’s whereabouts.
Some said He Sirui left the country in secret after the scandal, but where she went, and with whom, no one had any information.
Yin Feibai faced the media’s questions without revealing anything, merely saying, "We are not divorced. Thank you for your concern."
Media outlets flattered the Yin Family, praising Young Master Yin for his deep affection and loyalty, staying by his wife’s side despite her betrayal and her family’s decline.
An Junxi felt sorry for Yin Feibai. Such a promising young man ended up with a wife who ruined much of his life.
Through the upheaval at He’s Jewelry, An Junxi finally understood the ever-changing nature of the business world. Many thought He’s Jewelry was an unshakable mountain, but it crumbled without warning.
She gained a clearer understanding of her husband’s remarkable capabilities. How much vision and resolve must he have to ensure the Gu Family’s unshakable position in the tides of time?
An Junxi stared intently at her husband, finding him increasingly handsome with each passing moment.
Gu Yikun was reviewing documents, feeling uneasy under his wife’s watchful gaze. He put the documents down and looked at her, "You’ve been staring at me since dinner. Are you smitten by your handsome husband?"
She had been gazing at him all evening, even their daughter noticed at the dining table, asking why mommy kept staring at daddy.
With a star-struck look, An Junxi nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, my husband is not only handsome but also very capable. I like him so much."
In a good mood, Gu Yikun extended his hand towards her, "Come here, let me hug you."
An Junxi moved over and sat on his lap. Gu Yikun felt her cold little hands, "How are your hands so cold even indoors?"
He placed her hands on his stomach to warm them, and she asked, "Are you going to the company tomorrow because of the He Family incident?"
"More or less."
Gu Yikun spoke lightly, but An Junxi knew that a large part of He’s Jewelry’s crisis was his doing.
Whatever difficult matters came into his hands became trivial. What others thought was an unassailable family, he disassembled with ease.
"Yikun, was it you who acted?"
"Not me, others did it for me."
He merely indicated that Gu Family would no longer cooperate with He’s Jewelry, and someone took advantage of the opportunity to do him a favor.
"Why did you do it?"
He caressed her cheek, "This is the price He Sirui pays for bullying you."
He Sirui repeatedly challenged his limits. He had given her a chance, but she didn’t cherish it.
An Junxi shuddered a bit, "Husband, you are ruthless."
Gu Yikun leaned closer, "Everyone else can fear me, but you don’t have to." He cherished her in the palm of his hand. Whoever dared to offend her was his enemy.
"I’m very honored," An Junxi said. "Do you know where He Sirui is?"
Just thinking about He Sirui made An Junxi a bit scared. That woman was even crazier than Liu Zhiwen. Who knew when or from where she would reappear?
"I don’t know. She won’t come after you again," Gu Yikun assured. "I’ll go downstairs and get you some tonic. Have it and then go to sleep. We’ll go to the company tomorrow."
An Junxi touched her belly, "Am I showing now? Why have I gained so much weight?" All she had done recently was sleep and eat, with her handsome husband by her side, leading to happy weight gain.
An Junxi was a bit anxious. Would she become a fat lady after giving birth to the second child?
Gu Yikun seemed to know what was troubling her. "A bit of meat looks better. I like it," he said.
Zhi Zhi was still on set late at night. There was more work today, and she might only get home by early morning.
During a break, Zhi Zhi sat in the makeshift rest area to warm up. The rest area had poor sound isolation, and she overheard the extras chatting outside, "Have you seen the news about He’s Jewelry? They say He Sirui has disappeared. My friend saw a woman who looked like her at a cosmetic surgery hospital in South Korea. Do you think it’s possible?"
Zhi Zhi perked up. Was He Sirui, not the enemy of the president’s wife? Had she gone to South Korea?
Zhi Zhi went out, and the extras stood up quickly when they saw her, "Sister Zhi Zhi."
Zhi Zhi sat on a small stool beside them, "No need to be so polite. Keep chatting. You were talking about He Sirui?"
The extras were delighted to get close to a big star and spoke excitedly, "Yes, about the incident a while back. My friend went to a hospital in Seoul for a nose job and saw a female patient who looked just like her."
