Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 572: Impressive Without Taking Medicine
Gu Yikun brought in a glass of milk and said to An Junxi, "It’s still hot, wait for it to cool down before drinking. Just continue having fun, I’ll watch over our daughter."
An Junxi could see the living room from there; Ai Xi and her mother-in-law were having a great time.
When Gu Yikun walked out, Gong Xiaoyu finally let out a breath, "Being the only single dog here is really tough. You guys, don’t be too much."
An Junxi warmed her hands with the cup, glanced at the hall where Gu Yikun and the others were chatting, and lowered her voice to speak to her senior, "Senior, Adri hasn’t returned to the country yet?"
"No, why?"
Zhang Miaoyan was also curious, "Adri is very diligent at work, did she do something wrong?"
Talking about Adri made An Junxi angry. She took a sip of milk, trying to calm herself to avoid passing negative emotions to her baby.
She motioned for them to come closer and said, "Adri tried to drug Yue Xiaoyang at the hotel, but Yi Ke accidentally drank it instead..."
Zhang Miaoyan exclaimed, "Oh my God!" She hadn’t heard about it and couldn’t believe Adri would do such a thing!
An Junxi got anxious, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Xie Yuchen and Gu Yikun came over, with Xie Yuchen particularly nervous, "Miaoyan, are you feeling unwell?"
Zhang Miaoyan covered her mouth and shook her head, "No, we were just chatting."
Xie Yuchen frowned at Gong Xiaoyu, "Don’t talk about scary topics, my wife scares easily."
Gong Xiaoyu pointed at herself, "Me? Why not Jun Xi?"
Gu Yikun, seeing his wife wasn’t scared, felt relieved for the moment, "My wife is pregnant, she wouldn’t discuss such topics."
Gong Xiaoyu took the blame in a grand manner, unable to complain, "You guys... Hmph!"
An Junxi hurriedly offered water to her senior, "Don’t be angry, let’s discuss this slowly."
She asked the two men to leave first. This time, Xie Yuchen sat down, "I’m worried, I’m staying to watch."
An Junxi was speechless, "Xie Yuchen, we’re discussing women’s topics, could you be a bit more perceptive? Honey, don’t you agree?"
Gu Yikun touched his nose; actually, he also wanted to stay.
An Junxi drove them out, "If you don’t leave now, we’ll get angry."
Gu Yikun quickly dragged Xie Yuchen out, with Xie Yuchen saying, "But that’s my wife."
Gu Yikun replied, "My wife is here too! Whatever you do, don’t make a woman angry, the consequences are serious." He guessed Xie Yuchen had never experienced sleeping in the study, so he wouldn’t understand that feeling.
After the two men left, Gong Xiaoyu still hadn’t calmed down, "Your husbands blame everything on me!"
An Junxi smiled fawningly, "They just don’t understand you. Let’s continue our conversation."
Zhang Miaoyan urged her to ask, "What happened next? Did the president, after taking that drug, end up with Adri..."
An Junxi interrupted her, "Oh, come on!"
Zhang Miaoyan quickly covered her mouth, "No swearing, have you forgotten about your prenatal education?"
An Junxi patted her own cheeks, realizing she had lost control, "Right, I was out of control."
She said, "Luckily, I arrived at the hotel in time, Yi Ke didn’t end up with anyone else... Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let her off easily!"
Zhang Miaoyan patted her chest, "That was really fortunate."
Gong Xiaoyu asked slyly, "Are you your husband’s antidote? Honestly, how was it when President Gu took that drug, was it really intense?"
Zhang Miaoyan got carried away by the gossip, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, staring intently at An Junxi.
An Junxi’s ears turned red; she didn’t want to answer. Under Gong Xiaoyu’s persistent questioning, she finally said, "My husband is amazing even without the drug, okay!"
Zhang Miaoyan and Gong Xiaoyu burst out laughing, with Gong Xiaoyu saying, "So you must have been tormented quite a bit, huh?"
Zhang Miaoyan covered her face, "I can’t, I have such vivid images now, so embarrassing!"
Reminded of that day by her senior, An Junxi blushed even more, "You guys still laugh!"
The three men outside heard the laughter from the tea room. Xie Yuchen glanced at the tea room, always wanting to check, "What are they laughing about?"
Gu Yikun suggested, "Should we go in and take a look?"
Young Master Yue got irritated, "You two idiots, can you show some guts? Stop clinging to the women all the time, pay more attention to your brothers when you have the chance!"
Xie Yuchen coldly replied, "Brothers? I sought you out on my first day back, and you said... you were having dinner with Assistant Gong and told me not to disturb."
It was also Xie Yuchen’s first time receiving such treatment.
Yue Xiaoyang felt guilty, "Let’s talk about something else."
Gu Yikun noticed his left hand was still bandaged. He’d heard about the reason behind Yue Xiaoyang’s injury, so he asked, "Is your wound still not healed?"
Yue Xiaoyang raised his hand, "The wound is too deep; it doesn’t heal that easily."
Gu Yikun poured him a cup of tea, and Yue Xiaoyang received it with his right hand. Gu Yikun then handed him a piece of fruit, to which Yue Xiaoyang said, "I don’t eat fruit."
"Take it, it’s for Ai Xi."
Yue Xiaoyang didn’t put down the cup; he reached out with his left hand. Just as he was about to touch the fruit, Gu Yikun released his grip, causing it to slip.
Seeing the fruit about to hit the ground, Yue Xiaoyang swiftly leaned in and caught it solidly with his left hand, without spilling a drop from the teacup.
Though his left hand was still bandaged, it didn’t hinder his actions.
This all happened in an instant. Yue Xiaoyang tossed the fruit in his hand a few times before catching it again, then said to Gu Yikun, "You can’t even hold a piece of fruit steady. Luckily, I reacted quickly."
Xie Yuchen, raising an eyebrow, commented idly, "Quick reflexes indeed. With such reaction time and balance, are you seriously telling me you didn’t see the utility knife and got cut that deeply? Even if you beat me, I wouldn’t believe it."
Gu Yikun leaned back against the sofa, his long legs crossed, "Young Master Yue will go to great lengths to gain sympathy."
Yue Xiaoyang realized Gu Yikun had intentionally tested him. He threw the fruit back at Gu Yikun, who easily caught it, "Why? Not willing to admit it?"
Yue Xiaoyang told him to keep it down, "If Xiao Yu finds out, I’m really dead!"
That day, he had indeed intentionally injured his hand; otherwise, how would Xiao Yu have signed the, ahem, assistant contract...
Gu Yikun and Xie Yuchen mercilessly jeered at him, "And you talk about manliness, you’ve got guts alright." Such a dumb idea; only he could come up with it.
Yue Xiaoyang dared not boast anymore, "Fine, I admit it. You two are the manliest, okay?"
Gu Yikun was somewhat satisfied, "It’s acceptable."
Yue Xiaoyang glanced a few times towards the tea room, leaving his left hand aside, reminding himself not to use it to avoid revealing the truth.
Xie Yuchen asked, "So, are you planning to stay handicapped forever?"
Yue Xiaoyang got annoyed, "I’ll watch for the right moment, do you understand timing?"
Xie Yuchen understood, "We two married men don’t understand. Would a bachelor like you?"
Yue Xiaoyang felt as if he’d suffered an internal injury and called out for comfort, "Jin Xiu, Uncle Yue knows you care for me the most, you have to help me!"
In the tea room, Gong Xiaoyu and Zhang Miaoyan were still laughing, and An Junxi, feeling displeased, said, "This isn’t the main point of our discussion, okay? Can you give me a little respect?"
