Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 588: Husband’s Emotional Intelligence is Lacking
An Junxi was discharged and returned home, where her parents and two children were waiting for her in the living room.
Ai Xi ran up for a hug, and Gu Yikun picked up his daughter. He took out a prepared gift, "Little princess, daddy promised to buy you the little pig."
"Thank you, daddy!" Ai Xi hugged the little pig and asked her mommy in her father’s arms, "Is brother being naughty?"
The two elderly people also asked, "What does the doctor say? You wouldn’t let us go to the hospital to see you, we’ve been worried for two days."
"There’s no need for you to make the trip if it’s nothing serious." An Junxi had said this over the phone, and she had to repeat it again.
Mr. An felt relieved. Every time his daughter got pregnant, she always had to go through something, and he always carried that worry.
Ai Xi played with the little pig and asked again, "Why is brother being naughty?"
An Junxi kissed her daughter, "Little brother is very playful, very naughty."
Gu Aixi turned to her brother and said, "Brother, little brother is also very naughty!"
Gu Jinxiu walked up to An Junxi, looking somewhat upset, "Mommy, I’m sorry."
An Junxi stroked her child’s face, "What’s wrong, Jin Xiu?"
"I made you angry, that’s why you don’t feel well."
An Junxi didn’t expect Jin Xiu to blame himself, "It’s not your fault, it’s your brother being too playful. When he’s born, you must help me teach him, you’re the big brother."
Gu Jinxiu looked at his mom’s belly, a bit expectantly, "When will little brother be born?"
"After the new year."
Gu Jinxiu promised, "I’ll definitely be a good big brother."
An Junxi praised him, "I know you’ll be a good big brother."
Gu Aixi didn’t want to be ignored. She tugged at daddy’s tie and said, "I’m a good big sister, big sister!"
Gu Yikun pointed his long finger at her forehead, "Okay, little parrot."
Ai Xi played recklessly with daddy’s face, "I’m not a little parrot!" She knew that little parrots were noisy birds.
Gu Yikun laughed, "If you’re not a little parrot, what are you? You’re the noisiest one at home."
He let his daughter play with him, not minding the wrinkles in his suit. Outsiders would be shocked to see this scene.
"I’m a big sister, not a little parrot!"
An Junxi couldn’t help but laugh. She didn’t think Ai Xi could be a good big sister. Ai Xi was such a mischievous little girl, always losing things. In the future, even her little brother would have to take care of her.
Sister Chen helped An Junxi sit down on the couch, "Careful, take it slowly."
An Junxi slowly sat down, "Ai Xi, Jin Xiu, come to mommy."
Gu Aixi and Gu Jinxiu sat beside mommy. Ai Xi’s little face rubbed against mommy’s arm, and An Junxi hugged her two children, "Have you been obedient at home these past two days?"
"Obedient!" Ai Xi hurriedly said, "Brother and I have been obedient. I didn’t bother him while he was writing."
Gu Aixi felt proud of herself for this.
An Junxi didn’t hold back her praise, "Ai Xi has grown up, she knows not to disturb brother who needs to study."
Ai Xi happily hugged mommy’s hand, "Grandpa also praised me."
"We know you’re sensible, everyone praises you."
Ai Xi didn’t forget to praise her brother, "Brother is also sensible."
An Junxi asked Gu Jinxiu, "How much calligraphy have you written as punishment by your father?"
She saw ink marks on his sleeve, indicating he hadn’t been lazy these past two days.
Gu Jinxiu seriously reported his progress to mommy and daddy. An Junxi kept nodding as she listened. During her two-day absence, the child hadn’t been lazy.
Gu Yikun, always strict, said, "Too slow, double the work tomorrow and place it in my study for inspection."
Gu Jinxiu pinched his sleeve and looked at grandma.
Mrs. An said, "Speak to daddy boldly, no need to be afraid."
An Junxi wondered, does Jin Xiu not want to practice calligraphy anymore?
Gu Jinxiu bravely said to daddy, "I want to go out tomorrow, can I make it up the day after?"
An Junxi asked first, "Where do you want to go?"
Little Ai Xi raised her hand, "I know. Brother wants to find sister."
"Which sister?"
Everyone looked at Gu Jinxiu. Gu Jinxiu’s stubborn little face was a bit awkward, "He Yiqing owes me stationery that hasn’t been returned. She hasn’t attended class for a long time, I want to find her to return my stuff."
Mrs. An turned her face away to hide her laughter. This kid was really interesting, wanted to see his desk mate but didn’t dare admit it, saying she owed him stationery, quite the little trickster.
An Junxi’s mouth dropped open. She hadn’t heard wrong, had she? The prideful Young Master Gu wanted to actively find his desk mate?
She looked at Gu Yikun. Gu Yikun didn’t think as much as they did. He said, "A set of stationery is not needed. You should focus on practicing your calligraphy."
Gu Jinxiu lowered his head. He really wanted to go but didn’t dare rebut daddy’s words.
An Junxi gave her husband a look, thinking, emotionally intelligent husband isn’t helping the child here.
Gu Yikun caught An Junxi’s hint and changed his tone, "If you really want to go out, I will let Uncle Wei take you, but only for two hours."
Gu Jinxiu’s little face lit up. He exclaimed, "I will be back on time, thank you, daddy!"
Mr. An gave him a thumbs up, which made Gu Jinxiu a little embarrassed, "I’ll go upstairs to practice calligraphy and show it to daddy later."
Little Ai Xi was her brother’s follower, "I want to see brother practice calligraphy!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
She had a drawing board. When brother practiced calligraphy, she would follow along nonsensically drawing, pretending to be serious.
Mrs. An took Ai Xi upstairs. She said to An Junxi, "You go up and rest. I’ll take the children to nap later."
The two children at home alleviated An Junxi’s melancholy. She firmly believed that the baby in her belly could be born safely.
Those nightmares were just dreams. She couldn’t let herself be trapped in them.
The next day, she watched Uncle Wei take Jin Xiu out, only to hear bad news right after.
Chen Ming’s girlfriend, Xue Chu, died during childbirth at dawn, leaving a premature baby girl. The baby was saved by the doctors with great difficulty and was placed in an incubator, needing careful attention.
The doctors weren’t optimistic about the baby, saying that she was weaker than average newborns and had a high likelihood of dying.
An Junxi felt a heavy heartache. As a mother herself, pregnant at this moment, she found out this sad news.
She thought of the tiny baby suffering now and felt miserable. She said to Gu Yikun, "Go to the hospital for me and make sure the doctors take good care of the baby."
Gu Yikun comforted her, "I will have the hospital take full care, don’t worry."
He personally went to the hospital and returned to tell An Junxi, "The baby’s health is fine. After a month, when the situation stabilizes, the Gu Family Charity Foundation will arrange for the baby’s care."
An Junxi called Sister Chen. After Chen Ming passed away, she had less contact with Sister Chen. Sister Chen understood that her brother’s death was his own fault. She felt both angry and hopeless, unable to face the Gu Family.
An Junxi conveyed Gu Yikun’s intentions to Sister Chen. Sister Chen said, "My brother was the only male in our family, and now he left a daughter. No matter how poor we are, I will raise her and not let her become an orphan. Having one more child at home means my husband and I will just endure a little more hardship."
An Junxi didn’t want to force her. The child staying with her biological aunt was better than being outside.
