Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 556: It’s Worth Getting Hurt

Gong Xiaoyu packed up her documents and saw them supporting each other. She didn’t want to join the commotion and said to Secretary Li, "I’m heading back first."

Yue Xiaoyang had been paying attention to the noise behind him. Hearing her say she was leaving, he stopped and said, "Assistant Gong, you’ll be working four hours a day as per your contract starting now. Come back with me."

Gong Xiaoyu wanted to glare a hole in his back, "Mr. Yue, you now have a personal assistant and don’t seem to need me."

"Who said that? Adri will be back soon," he repeated, "Come back with me."

Secretary Li cleverly took the documents from Miss Gong’s hand, "I’ll deliver the documents to Si Yuan Education. The IT department will be negotiating with the R&D department this afternoon. The new courses from Si Yuan Education won’t be delayed for long, rest assured, Miss Gong."

Several people headed down to the parking lot together. Gong Xiaoyu was pushed into the car by Secretary Li and Doctor Gao. During the ride, Doctor Gao talked about precautions, preventing Gong Xiaoyu from causing a scene.

She called the company, instructing Lin Yuanqing to coordinate the online testing with the R&D and IT departments and to contact her immediately if there were any issues.

Yue Xiaoyang looked at her side profile, suddenly feeling that life was so beautiful, even getting injured was worth it.

An Junxi followed Gu Yikun to Gu’s Headquarters. She heard You Lifen was looking for Yu Zheng and wanted to meet her.

You Lifen cared a lot about Yu Zheng. The two didn’t get along at all, and she feared Lifei would have a direct conflict with her senior, escalating a small misunderstanding.

Gu Yikun didn’t let her leave the office, "That woman is crazy. If she bumps into you and affects the pregnancy, then what? You can’t go see her."

An Junxi wasn’t happy, "I came to the company with you to relax, not to be confined."

Lately, Gu Yikun had been very busy. Her pregnancy was advancing rapidly, and he needed to arrange his work for the next six months meticulously within two months so he could devote himself to taking care of her until the baby was born. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

He rubbed her hair, "Without you here, I can’t focus on work. Be good, listen to your husband."

An Junxi knew how overly concerned her husband was. Even at home, he’d follow her to the next room. There was no changing that.

She compromised, "Can you call You Lifen to the office instead?"

"No," Gu Yikun said, "You Lifen is always causing trouble. Don’t get too close to her."

An Junxi sulked in the corner of the sofa, "How can you do this? I don’t have any friends now!"

Gu Yikun coaxed her, "Once I’m done with work, I’ll take you out."

"No." His idea of going out meant avoiding crowded places or far-off destinations. She had been to all the nearby places. What was there to do?

Gu Yikun helplessly put down his pen, "Fine, I’ll accompany you to see her."

An Junxi quickly got up, afraid her husband would change his mind.

Gu Yikun immediately took her hand, keeping her close, "Don’t walk too fast, watch your step."

An Junxi silently complained in her heart. She wasn’t that delicate, and her husband feared everything constantly. Wasn’t he tired?

They walked out of the office, and Gu Yikun asked Secretary Wang, "Where is Assistant Yu?"

Secretary Wang replied, "Miss You just came looking for him. Assistant Yu took her out for a chat, probably at the café across the square."

An Junxi tugged at her husband’s sleeve, "Yikun, I want to go to the café too."

Gu Yikun refused, "The café doesn’t have anything suitable for you."

"Even a cup of pure milk will do."

Gu Yikun looked at his little wife helplessly. She simply wouldn’t give up.

Secretary Wang knew the CEO was too busy to leave the office. Observing the couple’s negotiation, she wondered if the CEO would yield?

Gu Yikun couldn’t think of any other way except to concede.

Secretary Wang realized she should help her boss out, and said to the wife, "Ma’am, if you’re looking for pure milk, we have fresh milk in the pantry, specially supplied from a New Zealand farm."

An Junxi certainly didn’t want the milk from the pantry; her actual goal was to meet You Lifen.

"Honey, I just want to sit at the café for a bit. You say you’ll accompany me, but it’s all lies. You’re always working and ignoring me."

She turned her back on him, using her head to object, not wanting to look at him.

Gu Yikun couldn’t bear such accusations. Worried that her anger would affect her mood, he immediately gave in, "Okay, okay, I’ll take you. Consider it a date. Is that alright?"

An Junxi finally felt satisfied, linking her arm through his, "Quickly, we need to hurry so we don’t miss anything."

Gu Yikun watched her hurriedly, "I told you not to walk too fast. With you so reckless, how could I let you out of my sight?"

An Junxi smiled at her husband, "Then don’t leave my side."

Gu Yikun couldn’t be mad at her, "You’re right. Your husband won’t leave your side for a moment."

Secretary Wang overheard the CEO’s words, and felt overwhelmed. The CEO was completely tamed by his wife, even saying such cheesy lines.

Where else could you find such an obedient, handsome, and devoted husband?

You Lifen and Yu Zheng sat in the café. Yu Zheng saw she kept her head down and asked, "What’s the important matter? If you don’t tell me, I’ll go back to work."

"Don’t!" You Lifen anxiously grabbed his hand. The people at the nearby table looked over, and she quickly let go, pulling her hat down to cover half her face.

Yu Zheng leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table, "You know I don’t have free time for coffee today. If you haven’t decided what to say, then talk next time."

You Lifen clenched the spoon in her coffee cup, "Yu Zheng, can’t I come to see you for no reason? What is our relationship now?"

She had asked him out several times, but he never showed up. Despite the risk, she wanted to see him. Why didn’t he show the same passion?

It was always her one-sided love for him. She had finally heard him say "I like you," and thought things would progress, but it had become colder than before.

You Lifen didn’t know where the problem lay. She asked, "Is it true, like the news says, that you’ve started liking Gong Xiaoyu again? Is that why you’re ignoring me?"

Yu Zheng told her not to talk nonsense, "How much can you trust gossip? Don’t believe what the media writes." He didn’t give a clear explanation about that night.

In his view, things are what they are, and there’s no need to over-explain. But he overlooked the fact that men and women’s thinking differ greatly. Women think more intricately and deeply. Without a direct response and assurance from their partner, they feel uneasy.

You Lifen was just like that.

She hated how he remained indifferent about everything. Couldn’t he explain something to ease her worries?

Ultimately, it showed that he didn’t care enough about her.

She asked outright, "Then why were you at the bar with her? Those intimate photos got taken, and now everyone laughs at me for being abandoned by you. Can’t you stand up and say something to show people your feelings for me! Also, let me know your feelings."
