Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 570: There’s No Time to Hurt You

Gu Yikun went to get a book, "Sure, let’s read a book. When you get tired, you’ll fall asleep."

An Junxi didn’t reject his suggestion. The two of them sat on the bed reading. Gu Yikun occasionally discussed the key points with her. President Gu’s broad knowledge made his explanations even more fascinating than the book itself.

An Junxi was deeply absorbed, looking at her husband with sparkling eyes. This man was her husband. How lucky could she be?

Gu Yikun chatted with her while occasionally feeding her a couple of sips of soup. An Junxi didn’t even notice, she drank whenever he fed her.

It took half an hour to finish a bowl of soup. Gu Yikun felt relieved, finally completing his task; his child wouldn’t go hungry.

It wasn’t until bedtime that An Junxi realized she had drunk an entire bowl of soup. She wanted to get angry, but Gu Yikun gave her a French kiss, capturing her lips and tongue, "Hmm, the soup tasted really good."

An Junxi felt weak all over from his teasing and had no strength to speak, "You’re so bad!"

Gu Yikun touched her belly, "I’m worried you and the baby won’t get enough nutrition, my dear wife." He had used every trick to get her to eat.

An Junxi reflected on her erratic behavior during pregnancy, feeling she had become particularly sentimental.

She couldn’t control her emotions and occasionally calmed down to reflect, even finding herself annoying.

She turned over and lay on her side, back to her husband, not saying a word. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Gu Yikun moved closer to hold her, "Are you upset?"

An Junxi shook her head, "Yikun, don’t be so good to me. I’m bad-tempered and picky. How can you stand me."

His time was valuable. So many people couldn’t even get half an hour with him, yet he patiently coaxed her to eat every day.

Using President Gu’s time for such trivial matters made her feel deeply guilty.

Gu Yikun caressed her cheeks, "Silly girl, you’re carrying my child. Who else should I be good to if not you?"

"Because of the child?" She knew he genuinely cared for her, but she couldn’t stop herself from speaking like this.

An Junxi buried her face in the pillow. What was wrong with her, always unable to speak properly? He must hate her by now.

Gu Yikun was infinitely tolerant of her, "Even if it’s for the child, it’s because I love you. Only An Junxi can give me a child; your husband just wants to pamper you."

An Junxi felt much better, and she finally fell asleep leaning against his chest. But she was still awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night.

The moment Gu Yikun beside her held her hand tightly, An Junxi knew her husband was there, pulling her out of the nightmare, not as scared as before.

Gu Yikun asked with concern, "Another nightmare?"

An Junxi hugged his arm tightly, "Husband, as long as you’re here, I’m not afraid." His embrace was always the safest place.

Gu Yikun kissed her reassuringly, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll be by your side every moment."

An Junxi’s sleep gradually improved. Seeing she still wasn’t very well, Gu Yikun arranged time to take her to Xie Yuchen’s house.

The doctor said a pregnant woman’s mood is very important. Talking more with family and friends helps adjust her mood. He hoped meeting her friends would keep her from dwelling on the nightmares.

An Junxi was very happy to see Zhang Miaoyan. She called her senior to arrange a visit. Gong Xiaoyu, having been driven mad recently by Yue Xiaoyang, immediately agreed when she heard An Junxi’s invitation.

She asked Yue Xiaoyang for leave, and he pestered her for the reason, afraid she might be going on a date, which was absolutely not allowed.

Gong Xiaoyu said, "I’m going to Miao Yan’s house."

Yue Xiaoyang immediately said, "Great, I also want to see Yu Chen. It’s been too long; I miss him a lot."

Gong Xiaoyu despised him. He hadn’t mentioned Xie Yuchen once since returning, but now he wanted to go together - the nerve of him!

Shen Lan watched them bicker with joy.

Since Xiao Yu came to their house, Xiao Yang returned to being the old Yue Xiaoyang, joking and chatting. This daughter-in-law was her choice; she had to help her son win her over.

Gong Xiaoyu accepted the generous gift from Auntie Xie. She reciprocated with a piece of calligraphy and painting. Auntie Xie had it framed and hung in the hall, praising it daily, "Your parents have great taste; I love this piece. They’re too polite. When’s a good time for us to have a meal together?"

These words gave Gong Xiaoyu a shiver. Auntie Xie’s language sounded like she wanted to meet the future in-laws.

She refused Auntie Xie’s invitations a few times. Auntie Xie wasn’t angry and continued treating her well. She felt very uneasy and couldn’t bear to be too harsh on Yue Xiaoyang.

Sometimes she thought Auntie Xie’s gentle approach was truly formidable!

Shen Lan knew they were going to the Xie family and specially prepared gifts for them to bring, "You guys have fun, stay as long as you want."

Gong Xiaoyu wanted to prepare her own gifts, but Shen Lan said, "I prepared them for you; just take them."

Yue Xiaoyang said, "Thank you, Mom."

Shen Lan patted their hands, "No need to thank me. Helping you with these little things is my pleasure."

Gong Xiaoyu’s heart raced. Auntie Xie always coupled her with Yue Xiaoyang; what a clever tactic!

It seemed like she was subtly trying to bring her into the Yue Family, but that was impossible. She had her stance and wouldn’t easily forgive Yue Xiaoyang!

Yue Xiaoyang was now able to walk slowly, but he always acted fragile in front of Gong Xiaoyu, needing her support.

He played the part well, and Gong Xiaoyu never suspected a thing, allowing him to lean on her shoulder, and sometimes when he held her waist, she’d want to snap. He would pitifully say, "I’m feeling a bit dizzy; maybe you hit me too much and left sequelae."

Gong Xiaoyu didn’t dare to be violent anymore, often enduring silently.

Yue Xiaoyang’s scheme had succeeded; with three months of assistant duties left, he wouldn’t let her leave easily.

They arrived at the Xie family together. An Junxi and Gu Yikun were already sitting in the hall. Jin Xiu was playing with his sister in the hall, while Xie Yuchen and his wife sat close by. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Gong Xiaoyu greeted Uncle Xie and Auntie Xie, handed her gift to the servant. Zhang Miaoyan said, "You’re just here to sit; why bring so many things?"

Gong Xiaoyu said, "This is from Auntie."

An Junxi was in a good mood today, smiling all the time. Hearing this, she winked at Zhang Miaoyan, "She’s very popular at the Yue family; Auntie treats her like a daughter-in-law."

Zhang Miaoyan laughed into her husband’s arms, "Xiao Yang, you’re so crafty, making Xiao Yu your assistant."

Xie Yuchen supported his wife by the waist. With visitors, she was in a better mood, which made him happy too.

Gong Xiaoyu was mercilessly teased. She picked up Ai Xi to hide her embarrassment, "Baby, your mommy is laughing at Auntie, what should we do?"

Little Ai Xi looked at Auntie with her big round eyes and suddenly asked her brother, "Brother, is Auntie Uncle Yue’s wife?"
