Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 564: He Endures Hardships

Gu Jinxiu pushed himself up from the ground with effort, and little Ai Xi climbed onto her brother’s back. Weighed down by her, Gu Jinxiu couldn’t hold on for more than two seconds before collapsing onto the floor, challenge failed.

Little Ai Xi was a bit disappointed, "Brother isn’t good enough, huh!"

An Junxi and her mother laughed unabashedly, even the usually serious President Gu smiled as he went over to lift his daughter and practice weightlifting, "The little princess has grown taller and gained a bit of weight." To him, it was still quite light.

Gu Jinxiu was embarrassed and covered his head with a blanket, "Mommy, Grandma, you’re all laughing at me!"

An Junxi teased, "Oh my, Young Master Gu is sulking."

Gu Jinxiu ran over and nestled into his grandmother’s arms, "Grandma, Mommy is laughing at me!"

Mrs. An herself couldn’t stop laughing. She affectionately patted Jinxiu’s hair, "Jinxiu is already very impressive. Keep exercising, and you’ll be as strong as your dad."

An Junxi felt a deep sense of satisfaction seeing Jinxiu seek comfort from his grandmother.

Jinxiu only acted like a child in front of them; he truly should be this innocent. He had been too quiet before.

At this moment, Zhang Miaoyan called her, and she got up to take it, "Miaoyan, what’s up?"

Zhang Miaoyan said, "We returned to the country and are at home now. Are you asleep yet?"

"Not yet, just playing with the kids."

An Junxi headed to the third floor, and Gu Yikun followed her out, supporting her, "Why didn’t you call me when you were going upstairs?"

Zhang Miaoyan heard the President’s voice, "Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"Yes, go ahead,"

An Junxi, being helped back to the master bedroom by her husband, pointed at the phone, signaling that she needed to chat for a while.

Gu Yikun sat down beside her, "I’ll read while you talk."

An Junxi knew her husband wouldn’t leave her alone in the room. Wherever she went, he followed. She had protested before, "You really don’t need to monitor me like this. What is there to worry about at home?"

Gu Yikun said, "This isn’t monitoring, it’s caring. This is an honor President Gu has bestowed upon you, how can you still resent it?"

She truly had no response to that.

Seeing her husband’s thick skin, An Junxi simply lay in his arms and said to Zhang Miaoyan, "You just got back? When can we meet? It’s been so long since we last saw each other."

Zhang Miaoyan wanted to go out too, but it was simply impossible.

"I’m carrying twins, my in-laws and my husband are all very anxious. They won’t let me go out."

"Twins? Congratulations! Two kids at once, amazing!"

Gu Yikun, hearing this, felt a wave of excitement and couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of Xie Yuchen.

He touched his wife’s belly, then thought, how much suffering would a woman carrying twins have to endure?

This thought balanced him out instantly. He’d rather have his wife go through less suffering than take such a risk.

Zhang Miaoyan wasn’t overly excited either. She was happy when she first found out about the twins, but as her belly grew, she started to feel scared.

Having two kids for the first birth, it must hurt a lot, right?

She had shared her fears with Yuchen, and Xie Yuchen told her, "The best doctors will help deliver. You and the babies will be safe."

Zhang Miaoyan didn’t want to worry her husband and could only confide in An Junxi, "Jun Xi, how have you been lately?"

An Junxi looked down at her belly, her husband’s hand protectively resting on it, feeling warm over her lower abdomen.

She adjusted her sitting position, resting her head on Yikun’s chest, and said, "I’ve passed the morning sickness phase, everything’s fine. In a couple of months, I’ll start feeling the baby move."

Now she could feel the child growing day by day inside her, and that sense of shared blood was wonderful.

Zhang Miaoyan was envious, "After returning, I don’t have an appetite and can’t gain weight. Moving around is difficult too. If possible, can you come to my house? I’d love to chat with you."

An Junxi looked up at her husband and mouthed, "Is it okay?"

Gu Yikun touched her red lips and softly said, "Sure." He worried she might get bored at home.

An Junxi agreed to Zhang Miaoyan, "Sure, I’ll bring Senior Sister along."

"You’re welcome anytime. When will you come?"

An Junxi thought for a moment, "I need to ask Senior Sister."

"Alright, I’ll wait for your reply."

Zhang Miaoyan had so much to share, mainly how to deal with Jiang Cai Xuan.

She used to be very sharp, but since being pregnant, she’d become somewhat absent-minded, often getting stuck on a problem. She didn’t know how to tell Yuchen about it and saw Jun Xi and Xiao Yu as important confidants.

An Junxi then called Senior Sister, who picked up quickly.

An Junxi recalled what You Lifen said and asked, "Senior Sister, I heard you’re now Yue Xiaoyang’s personal assistant? What’s going on? Spill the details."

Gong Xiaoyu, having trouble sleeping, briefly explained the situation, and An Junxi said, "Aunt likes orchids the most. She must really like you to be so generous!"

The sly Yue Xiaoyang must be using the personal assistant ploy to get Aunt’s help in pursuing a wife. Quite cunning indeed.

Gong Xiaoyu, hearing Jun Xi say this, sat up in bed, "Really? She seemed so casual... Did I take Aunt’s beloved item?"

"No worries, Aunt surely deemed it worthwhile. Just accept it."

Gong Xiaoyu was anxious, "Dad gave me a painting in return. Now I feel I didn’t do enough."

"Aunt isn’t looking at these things but rather the sentiment. Don’t torment yourself. We’ll go to Miaoyan’s place in a few days and talk more."

"Miaoyan’s back? I haven’t contacted her."

"Yes, Miaoyan’s carrying twins. Her family is doting on her, and they don’t want her to go out."

Gong Xiaoyu rejoiced for them. With both Jun Xi and Miaoyan settled and expecting, she herself was still unsure.

Putting down her phone, Gu Yikun said to her, "Wife, you seemed quite envious of Zhang Miaoyan’s family care. Am I not treating you well?"

An Junxi dared not challenge her husband. She cozied up to him, saying, "Husband treats me very well. I feel like the happiest woman in the world."

Gu Yikun was pleased, "Good to hear."

An Junxi covered her mouth as she yawned, "I’m sleepy."

Gu Yikun carried her to bed, "If you’re sleepy, go to bed earlier." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He helped her change into her pajamas, and An Junxi let her husband remove her bra. Gu Yikun, gazing at her ample bosom, his voice grew husky, "Wife, the doctor said it’s okay occasionally..."

He thought about it daily, finding it quite hard to endure.
