Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 569: Don’t Always Indulge Her

Ai Xi keeps saying that she will be a big sister soon and has started preparing gifts for her future little brother.

She insists that it’s a little brother in mommy’s tummy. An Junxi asks why, and baby Ai Xi says, "Because my big brother likes having a little sister and a little brother, so I like what my brother likes."

Anyway, being a big sister means having either a little brother or sister, both are fine.

Mrs. An kisses the baby a few times, "Ai Xi is the most sensible."

An Junxi watches Ai Xi fussing over gifts for her brother, which involves taking her own toys and picking one to give to her little brother.

Little Ai Xi is very active, spreading toys all over the place, she likes each one and can’t make up her mind.

Mrs. An and the housekeeper let her play, and An Junxi says, "Ai Xi, you’ll need to help tidy up your toys later, look how messy the floor is."

The baby then notices the messy room, she adorably asks her mommy for help, "Grandma, help me."

Mrs. An responds, "Grandma will definitely help."

An Junxi tells her mom not to spoil her, "She needs to help herself, this is her room."

Ai Xi jumps into her father’s arms, "Daddy, do I have to clean up the toys myself? But it’s so tiring."

Gu Yikun couldn’t bear treating his little princess like this, "Of course not..."

An Junxi stares directly at her husband with displeasure in her eyes.

Gu Yikun quickly changes his response, "Daddy and baby will clean up together."

Little Ai Xi reluctantly agrees, extending her chubby hand, "Come, let’s pinky promise."

Gu Yikun hooks fingers with his daughter and kisses her chubby cheeks, "How is my daughter so cute."

The harmonious scene makes An Junxi’s mood slightly better; she has been tormented by nightmares for the past half month.

Mr. An is in the downstairs gym teaching Gu Jin Xiu Tai Chi. The little handsome Gu Jin Xiu is not in the best shape today, making several mistakes.

Mr. An tells him to take a break, he sits on a chair and pats the spot beside him, inviting Gu Jin Xiu to sit down.

Gu Jin Xiu sits beside his grandpa, Mr. An asks, "What’s bothering you? Tell grandpa."

Gu Jin Xiu looks conflicted, shaking his head, "Nothing."

Mr. An says, "A man should speak straightforwardly, bottling things up like a little girl."

Gu Jin Xiu of course denies being like a girl, "My deskmate hasn’t come to class for a while, she doesn’t answer my calls, I don’t know what happened."

"Is it your mom’s friend He Yiqing? Are you worried about her?"

Gu Jin Xiu reluctantly admits, "Not worried, just curious."

Mr. An chuckles, rubbing his grandson’s head, "At a young age, already knowing how to cover up your words. Worrying is not embarrassing, just admit it."

Gu Jin Xiu awkwardly says, "I’m Gu Jin Xiu, she didn’t worry about me, why should I worry about her?"

She should call and tell him why she hasn’t come to class, doesn’t she understand this basic principle? So naturally foolish.

Mr. An sighs, "There’s no why. Look, your grandma doesn’t let me eat this or that, should I mind my dignity?"

Gu Jin Xiu honestly says, "Grandpa, your health markers aren’t up to standard, of course you need to watch your diet, I support grandma."

Mr. An, feeling rebutted, stretches, "I’m working out every day now, my year-end health check will surely be up to standard."

Gu Jin Xiu lies on the mat with a serious look, "Grandpa, I’ll give her a week, if she doesn’t answer, I’ll go find her."

Mr. An laughs, kids these days are really crafty.

He says, "When you see He Yiqing, don’t talk like that, girls like gentle types, like I was back in the day, always gentle to your grandma."

Gu Jin Xiu jumps up, "I don’t like her!"

Mr. An laughs, "I didn’t say you like her, you admitted it yourself?"

Gu Jin Xiu, feeling teased, takes a fighting stance, "Grandpa, I challenge you!"

Dad always said, a man proves himself through actions!

Mr. An enthusiastically stands up, adopting a martial arts master pose, "I accept!"

Grandpa and grandson wrestle downstairs, while upstairs An Junxi is tired from playing with Ai Xi, Gu Yikun takes her to the master bedroom.

She has been fatigued, feeling unwell, losing appetite, Gu Yikun’s main task each day is to coax her into eating, and when she manages to drink a small bowl of soup, he feels more accomplished than landing a big project.

An Junxi lies in bed, afraid to sleep for fear of nightmares.

Gu Yikun knows her fear, if her health allowed, he would have considered hypnosis therapy.

He knows pregnant women worry more than usual, so he takes extra care of her emotions.

Mrs. An brings a bowl of soup, "Xi Xi, drink this calming soup, it helps with sleep."

An Junxi pinches her nose, "Why so much soup? I don’t want to drink." Every day it’s a different type of soup, all equally unpleasant.

Mrs. An persuades her, "You have trouble sleeping, you need to drink this soup, it doesn’t taste that bad, give it a try."

An Junxi refuses, "No."

"Why are you being naughty like Ai Xi, you’re not young anymore, you’re about to have your second child!"

Gu Yikun takes the soup and places it on the bedside table, "Mom, I’ll feed her, you rest, you must be tired today."

Mrs. An doesn’t feel tired, just worried about her daughter’s eating.

Her mother-in-law calls from the United States every day, asking about Xi Xi. In this regard, she has a lot in common with her mother-in-law, they discuss many recipes together, but her daughter simply doesn’t like eating.

She has mentioned more than once, "You are so picky, your child will be a picky eater too."

Gu Yikun defends his wife, "She’s just not feeling well, I’ll feed her slowly."

Mrs. An tells her daughter, "See how well Yi Ke treats you, no other man would be this good to you, it’s lucky your husband is him. If you married someone else, you’d never get such good treatment!"

An Junxi is upset, "Who says no other man would treat me well? Dad treats me very well!"

Gu Yikun chuckles, his little wildcat may have a poor appetite, but her mind is sharp.

Mrs. An doesn’t want to argue anymore, "Yi Ke, don’t spoil her too much, she’s getting more spoiled."

An Junxi feels wronged, and as her mother nags downstairs, she snuggles into her husband’s arms, "Mom doesn’t love me anymore, she always finds fault with me!"

"That’s not true, look at all the food mom makes for you, you know how much she loves you."

Gu Yikun coaxes her like a child, "Come on, I’ll feed you."

"No, you drink it."

Gu Yikun teases her, pinching her plump earlobe, "You really won’t drink? I’ll use the gentlest method to feed you."

An Junxi recalls his "gentle method" from last night, covering her mouth, "No way."
