Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 551: Even If Not Marrying, I Won’t Marry You
An Junxi originally didn’t want to drink the soup, but Gu Yikun accompanied her with the kids and said to Grandmother, "Grandmother, if I drink more, I’ll get fat."
Mrs. An laughed and said, "You’re at the age where you need to grow, don’t worry about getting fat, eat more so you can grow tall like your father."
Gu Jinxiu replied, "Then I’ll drink two bowls."
An Junxi told him not to drink too much, "One bowl is enough, otherwise it will affect your sleep."
Mrs. An fed Ai Xi half a bowl of soup. Then she and Nanny He took the two children upstairs, "We’ll put the kids to bed, you guys rest as well after finishing."
Gu Yikun watched An Junxi finish her soup before carrying her upstairs. An Junxi wanted to walk on her own, as there were other servants in the hall, and she didn’t have such thick skin.
Gu Yikun said, "Mrs. Gu, you need to get used to me carrying you. I’ll do this every day from now on."
An Junxi covered her face, "Husband, you really don’t need to be so nervous!"
How could Gu Yikun not be nervous? Last time she caught a cold and fell on the stairs, he still gets scared thinking about it.
They returned to the master bedroom, and Gu Yikun put her on the bed and prepared hot water for her to soak her feet.
Watching her husband busying himself for her, An Junxi felt a bit embarrassed. Despite having many servants at home, he still did everything himself, "Yikun, I can do these myself."
Gu Yikun said, "I’ll be happy as long as you listen to me."
He put her feet into the water, "Is it too hot?"
"No, the temperature is just right." She had cold hands and feet easily, and soaking her feet before bed could promote blood circulation. Gu Yikun made sure she did this every night.
Gu Yikun looked at her fair feet soaked in water, "I read in a book that from May to June, pregnant women start to experience leg swelling."
"Yes, when I was pregnant with Ai Xi, my shoes didn’t fit, and my legs were so swollen and painful, but I still insisted on walking."
Gu Yikun’s gaze became complicated as he held her hand, "Xi Xi, I owe you a lot. I didn’t do well."
An Junxi hugged her husband, "The past is over. Now you’ll watch the baby be born, teach the baby to call you Dad, and take care of me during the confinement. I’ll tell you it’s very tiring to take care of the confinement. You must take good care of me, or I’ll be angry."
Gu Yikun looked at her with tenderness, "No matter how tiring it is, it’s not as tiring as giving birth."
After soaking her feet, Gu Yikun dried them with a towel, then she brushed her teeth and washed her face while he helped her apply body lotion.
Once An Junxi comfortably lay in bed, Gu Yikun changed into his pajamas.
An Junxi thought, at this rate, she’d really be pampered into a fool by her husband.
She lay in bed waiting for her husband, and when Gu Yikun came out, seeing she wasn’t asleep, he asked, "Not sleepy tonight?"
An Junxi called her husband to bed, "I want to sleep holding you."
Gu Yikun lifted the blanket, and An Junxi lay in his arms, "How’s Yue Xiaoyang?"
Gu Yikun knew she wanted to ask about this, "I said I was going to acquire Si Yuan Education, and he got angry."
An Junxi buried her head in his chest, "Don’t talk about him, I got angry too. You can’t do that!"
Gu Yikun reassured her like a kitten, "Of course, I won’t really do it. I just wanted to scare him."
An Junxi pinched his ear, "Now you’re trying to scare me."
Gu Yikun gently pushed her to lie down, "Don’t press on the baby."
An Junxi moved off him, "I’m just worried about the baby."
"I care about the baby’s mom."
An Junxi said, "I’ll go to the company with you tomorrow." She worried he might do something bad to Si Yuan Education behind her back.
Gu Yikun reassured her, "With you in charge at Si Yuan, I wouldn’t dare make a move."
Gong Xiaoyu had been bombarded by the media for two days, and she finally went to Tengxia Industry.
Yue Xiaoyang was waiting for her in the office. As soon as Gong Xiaoyu opened her mouth, she said, "General Manager Yue, don’t you know about Si Yuan’s public relations crisis? Ignoring everything, you are indeed a good cooperative partner."
Yue Xiaoyang asked her to sit, "Xiao Yu, why were you drinking with Yu Zheng?"
"Now it’s my turn to ask you questions."
"If you don’t answer me, we’ll stay at this stalemate."
Gong Xiaoyu said, "We just happened to run into each other."
"How do you explain those photos?"
Gong Xiaoyu got angry, "Yue Xiaoyang, do I need to explain to you? Who are you to me?"
Yue Xiaoyang fell silent.
There was no sound in the office. Seeing Yue Xiaoyang’s angry face, Gong Xiaoyu fearlessly said, "You have no right to interfere in my private affairs, General Manager Yue."
Suddenly, Yue Xiaoyang reached out and pulled her into his arms. Gong Xiaoyu didn’t expect him to be so outrageous, "Yue Xiaoyang, what do you take me for? Do you respect me!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Despite her struggles, Yue Xiaoyang said, "Xiao Yu, when I recover, will you marry me?"
Gong Xiaoyu was stunned, "What did you say?"
Holding her, familiarity awakened his deepest memories, his body trembled slightly, "Xiao Yu, I once thought I wouldn’t survive. Do you know what I was thinking about when I was lying on the operating table?"
Gong Xiaoyu looked at him quietly, and Yue Xiaoyang continued, "I was thinking, it’s fortunate I didn’t marry you; otherwise, you’d have to face the pain of losing a husband. When the doctor brought me back, I knew I might need an amputation and be bound to a wheelchair for life. That was when you called me, saying you were getting engaged to Yu Zheng."
"My heart was dead. I had no face to return home to find you and asked how much breakup money you wanted. Do you know how much courage it took for me to say that? I knew it would hurt you, but I was powerless..."
He hugged her tighter, greedily inhaling her scent, "Xiao Yu, I don’t deserve your forgiveness now. I just want to ask, when I recover, can you give me a chance? We can start over, we can build a family, I will work hard to take care of you and our child, truly."
Gong Xiaoyu shed tears.
She thought her heart wouldn’t ache again, but his words tore open her wounds once more.
This was the familiar embrace; she once thought it was her safe haven. But during the storms of her life, he wasn’t there.
"Yue Xiaoyang, during the time without you, do you know how I got through? Why do you think you can just come back as you wish? I’ve gotten used to life without you."
"On the day you went abroad, my mother had a heart attack and was hospitalized. I was so scared and called you all night, but you didn’t answer."
"If you had answered the call, maybe you wouldn’t have gone abroad, maybe you wouldn’t have gotten hurt, right? Why were you afraid to answer my call, afraid I’d pressure you into marriage? You were a great doctor, but all I wanted at that time was you. Yet you left without a word."
"Yue Xiaoyang, we are impossible in this life. Even if I don’t get married, I won’t marry you. In your life plans, you never considered me, I always knew that."
Yue Xiaoyang slowly loosened his grip, he didn’t know about this.
"Xiao Yu, I didn’t know Auntie had a heart attack and was in the hospital. My phone wasn’t with me that day, I..."
Gong Xiaoyu broke free from him and distanced herself, "Yue Xiaoyang, it’s all in the past. Stop looking for excuses."
