Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 562 Aunt Yue Is Kind of Cute

Yue Xiaoyang teased her immaturely. Gong Xiaoyu quietly picked up a couch pillow, "I heard that hitting someone with a cushion won’t leave bruises?"

Yue Xiaoyang instantly became obedient, "No, please help me change the bandages, Miss Gong. I won’t talk nonsense anymore."

Gong Xiaoyu helped him change the bandages. She didn’t dare to look at the knife wound on his hand; it hurt just to look at.

Gong Xiaoyu wasn’t good at bandaging others’ wounds. When applying the medicine, the bottle accidentally touched his still-healing wound, turning Yue Xiaoyang’s face pale.

Gong Xiaoyu didn’t dare to continue, "How about I call Adri to come?"

"No, it doesn’t hurt at all, keep going."

"Don’t just tough it out."

"It really doesn’t hurt, keep going."

Gong Xiaoyu blew gently on his wound, "Alright, I’ll continue."

Seeing her careful demeanor, Yue Xiaoyang raised his right hand, wanting to touch her face.

Before his hand could reach, he pulled back. Her rare tenderness towards him made him not want to provoke her anger.

Gong Xiaoyu was unaware of the storm in Yue Xiaoyang’s heart. She reluctantly finished bandaging him, "It’s getting late, I’ll head home now. I’ll come back tomorrow afternoon, you should sleep early."

Yue Xiaoyang, seeing her about to leave, instinctively grabbed her hand, "Xiaoyu."

Gong Xiaoyu shook off his hand, her expression turning cold and distant, "Is there any command from the general manager?"

Yue Xiaoyang felt a void in his heart, "Nothing, just text me when you get home."

Gong Xiaoyu replied indifferently, "Got it."

She said goodbye to Aunt Yue downstairs. Aunt Yue was talking with Adri, who looked unhappy. When Gong Xiaoyu’s eyes met Adri’s, Adri showed clear hostility towards her.

Gong Xiaoyu wondered what Aunt Yue had said to Adri to upset her.

Shen Lan escorted Gong Xiaoyu out; she had arrived in a Yue Family car and naturally had the driver take her back.

Shen Lan said, "I picked out two pots of flowers for your parents and put them in the trunk. Let the driver help you carry them home. These flowers are delicate and hard to care for, they shouldn’t be bumped around. You’re a girl; you won’t be able to manage carrying them by yourself."

Gong Xiaoyu thanked Aunt Yue on behalf of her parents. When the driver opened the car door, Aunt Yue still held her hand, "I’ll be waiting for you at home tomorrow, remember to come over after work, alright?"

Her tone was like coaxing a child, somewhat cute, making Gong Xiaoyu feel inexplicably touched.

Even if she could refuse Yue Xiaoyang, she couldn’t refuse such a kind and amiable elder.

She said, "I’ll come. It’s cold outside; Aunt Yue, please go back inside."

Shen Lan watched the car drive away from the doorway before returning inside. Adri sat dejectedly in the hall, and Shen Lan said to her, "It’s late, get some rest. If you want to go somewhere tomorrow, I’ll have the driver take you."

She had discussed earlier with Adri about booking an early flight back, but Adri expressed her desire to stay and see more of the cities in China as it was her first time visiting.

Shen Lan was accommodating, "If you’d like to stay in Yan City to see the sights, I can have the driver take you to famous locations here. It wouldn’t be a wasted trip to China."

Adri was still unhappy, wondering if Mrs. Yue was afraid she might interfere with Mr. Yue and Miss Gong?

She asked Mrs. Yue, "Do you think my Chinese is too poor, making it unsuitable for me to stay here? I’ll work hard on learning Chinese."

Most times, others accommodated her by speaking English, only a few servants couldn’t speak it, and she could communicate with them in broken Chinese.

Shen Lan said, "Not at all. Xiaoyang said you need to return to pursue your medical degree; we don’t want to delay your studies. That’s all for now; go rest and enjoy your stay for the next few days."

Adri returned to her room despondently but halfway turned back to the hall, hoping Mrs. Yue might agree to let her stay longer. She heard a servant tell Mrs. Yue, "Adri works very seriously, whereas Miss Gong isn’t as professional in medicine. Do you really need her to leave so soon?"

Adri strained to listen, wondering if Mrs. Yue might reconsider and let her stay.

Shen Lan replied, "Xiaoyang himself is a doctor. If Xiaoyu does something wrong, he will guide her; it’s not an issue. As for Adri... she’s ultimately a Westerner. I’m old-fashioned and don’t like foreign genes mingling in our family lineage. It’s not good for her to stay too long."

She could tell Adri had feelings for her son, which wasn’t a good thing. "I think Xiaoyu is a good match. I heard her parents are renowned in the education sector. Such a family is a suitable match for us Yue Family."

The servant nodded, understanding the lady’s meaning.

Adri understood half and guessed the other half, finally realizing Mrs. Yue’s dislike for foreigners.

She returned to her room, stood on the balcony looking at the night sky. The Bible never mentioned, she thought, such a gap between people.

She crossed herself and silently prayed, if she and Mr. Yue were not destined, why did God arrange for their meeting? Was this a test from the Lord?

Gong Xiaoyu arrived downstairs at home, unable to lift the two pots of orchids. She had to ask the driver for help, "Uncle Fan, please help me."

"No problem, it’s a piece of cake."

Uncle Fan helped her carry the flowers to her doorstep and then took his leave. Gong Xiaoyu politely invited him in for tea, although she feared he might accept, exposing her assistant role at the Yue Family.

She couldn’t let her parents know about Yue Xiaoyang, which would bring many troubles.

Uncle Fan sensibly declined, "I need to go back quickly, wouldn’t want to intrude on Miss Gong."

After seeing Uncle Fan into the elevator, Gong Xiaoyu opened the door and carefully moved the flowers to the balcony.

Mrs. Gong was watching TV in the living room. She saw her daughter moving two pots of flowers, "Why suddenly buy flowers? We already have plenty at home."

Her daughter usually didn’t like these time-consuming plants, it was odd.

Gong Xiaoyu said, "A friend gave them to me; I couldn’t refuse."

Mrs. Gong helped unwrap the flowers. At first sight, she exclaimed, "Su Guan He Ding! Which friend of yours is so generous? Did Jun Xi give them? How can you accept such a heavy gift!"

Such extravagant gifts could only come casually from the Gu Family.

Father Gong and Gong Tianfan were in the room when they heard the noise. They came out to the balcony. Father Gong’s eyes widened at the orchid and he told Gong Tianfan, "Go get my glasses."

Gong Tianfan retrieved the reading glasses from the study, and Father Gong carefully examined the orchid, too excited to speak, "Is this from Jun Xi?"

Gong Tianfan still missed his junior schoolmate. He stared at his sister, waiting for her answer.

He knew Xiao Jun was living well now; President Gu loved her very much. He, now, didn’t even have a chance to see her. Just hearing her name and knowing about her current situation was enough for him.

Everyone was looking at her, and Gong Xiaoyu nervously said, "Uh, it was from a pretty good client, not Jun Xi. Are these flowers expensive?"

Father Gong trembled as he opened another package, and the two elders got even more excited, "Ghost Orchid! Xiaoyu, how could you accept someone’s flowers? How can we reciprocate?"

Gong Xiaoyu and Gong Tianfan had no knowledge of flowers. Gong Tianfan asked, "How expensive are these flowers?"
