Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 592: The Wife is Too Alluring and Irresistible
Gu Jinxiu hugged his mother’s arm and cried bitterly. Ai Xi saw her brother cry, and she also started crying.
Tears streaming down, Ai Xi asked her mother, "Has Sister Yi Qing gone missing?"
An Junxi wiped the tears of the little ones and said, "Sister Yi Qing had some trouble at home, so she went to live somewhere else."
"Where did she go?"
"I don’t know."
Ai Xi’s lips started to quiver, and she was about to cry again. An Junxi asked, "Do you like Sister Yi Qing too, Ai Xi?"
Ai Xi replied, "If my brother likes her, then I like her too."
An Junxi comforted the two children. It took Jinxiu a long time to get over this shadow and refocus on his studies.
During this period, An Junxi paid special attention to the children’s emotions, leaving little time for idle thoughts. Her baby’s movements became more frequent.
The latest prenatal check-up results completely reassured her; the umbilical cord around the baby’s neck had untangled.
At night, Gu Yikun gently stroked her belly and said, "If this little rascal scares mommy again, I’ll spank you when you come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small bump emerged on An Junxi’s belly, right under his palm.
Gu Yikun’s eyes widened as he exclaimed to An Junxi, "Did you see that? He kicked me!"
Though his tone sounded angry, his expression was full of excitement—it was the baby interacting with him.
An Junxi playfully pinched her husband’s ear, "Haha, the baby knows daddy is scolding him."
Gu Yikun earnestly lectured her belly, "Behave yourself and don’t make mommy suffer."
"Hubby, you’re so fierce. Will you be as strict with the baby as you are with Jinxiu?"
Gu Yikun wrapped his arm around her shoulders, his tone suddenly heavy, "Xi Xi, boys and girls are different. I’ll be more tough on our son."
Feeling a bit reluctant, An Junxi said, "Then don’t let me see you scolding him in the future, I’ll feel heartache."
Gu Yikun sincerely replied, "I wouldn’t dare scold him in front of you. I’m just afraid the kid will always find mommy to help him, leaving me helpless."
An Junxi laughed, "Don’t make me sound like a tyrant. I won’t interfere unless you’re too harsh."
Gu Yikun and her discussed parenting for a long time. Talking about future learning issues, Gu Yikun pondered, "Xi Xi, I’ll give both sons equal opportunities. Jinxiu, as the elder brother, might take over Gu Family in the future..."
An Junxi understood her husband’s meaning and interrupted, "Jinxiu is ten years older than his brother. He’s certainly the future heir of Gu Family. I treat Jinxiu as my own child. It doesn’t matter who the heir is as long as the brothers are harmonious and loving. Nothing is more important than family. I may not be able to control what they do when they grow up, but during their growth, I can teach them what they should do."
She won’t allow those conflicts between wealthy family brothers to happen.
Gu Yikun looked at his young wife affectionately, finding her more and more beautiful.
He kissed her deeply, "Xi Xi, I finally understand how important it is to marry the right woman for the family. You are the most suitable mistress for our family and my greatest love."
The Gu Family has a strong foundation and doesn’t need powerful in-laws, but it certainly needs a gentle, wise mistress who understands the big picture, and it’s most important that he loves this mistress.
An Junxi was so dizzy from his kiss that she said in confusion, "I’m just playing the role of a mother. How come you make me sound so great."
"Of course you’re great. You’re my virtuous wife; no one can be better than you. I love you."
Gu Yikun spoke romantic words, and his desire surged. He began to touch her restlessly.
An Junxi’s body felt numb. If it weren’t inconvenient for her to move, she really wanted to kick him off the bed, "Hubby, you’re such a beast. Just one kiss, and you want to get handsy!"
Gu Yikun looked innocent, "Wife, you’re so irresistibly attractive that I get hungry seeing you."
"If you’re hungry, go eat!"
"I want to eat you."
Gu Yikun was just saying it; he didn’t dare to do anything bad to his wife. No matter how urgent, he had to wait until she gave birth. His wife’s health was important.
The blink of an eye, it was time for the Gu Family’s annual grand event. Gu Jinxiu proposed to attend the year-end event with his father. He wanted to see how his father interacted with the business elders.
An Junxi observed Jinxiu’s progress and said to Gu Yikun, "I know Jinxiu will be an outstanding heir in the future, but he’s carrying a burden at the age of ten. It’s too exhausting."
Jinxiu had told her that when he grew up, he would certainly investigate the He Family’s case. He didn’t believe He Yiqing’s father committed those crimes.
At only ten years old, his thinking was much more mature than his peers. Who knows if that’s a good or bad thing.
Gu Yikun said, "At his age, I thought even more. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"As a child, I thought Second Uncle was nice to us. One time, I heard Second Uncle badmouthing before Grandpa, causing Father to be sent to Russia. Russia was politically turbulent then; it was perilous. Father almost couldn’t return safely. Eventually, he came back with the Chinese diplomatic corps stationed there. Father didn’t believe Second Uncle intentionally framed him. Since then, I knew I had to become the heir of the Gu Family, not giving Second Uncle any chance."
An Junxi had never heard him say these things before. She couldn’t help but tighten her grip on his hand, "Yikun, what was your childhood like?"
Gu Yikun told her about his childhood, which was nothing but studying and martial arts training, "...Grandpa was very strict. I had to practice basic skills in the snow at five or six in the morning before dawn. Now I’m much more lenient with Jinxiu."
An Junxi felt heartache listening to him. She raised her head to kiss his thin lips, "Outsiders only see President Gu’s surface honors and glory. Few would ask about his efforts. Hubby, you’ve worked hard."
Gu Yikun was moved. He gently bit her red lip, "Wife, you feel sorry for me? I’m very happy."
An Junxi said, "I love you, of course, I feel sorry for you. You’re the one who needs to take care of me for a lifetime."
Gu Yikun laughed lowly, "Yes, I’ll take care of you for a lifetime."
Despite the hardships of his childhood, he could talk about them so lightly. An Junxi observed him, "Are you inherently smarter than others? Why are you so excellent in every way?"
Gu Yikun said, "No matter how well I do, others think it’s expected. After all, sitting in this position, even if there’s something I’m not good at, I must consciously improve it, not letting others know."
An Junxi was curious, "Is there anything you can’t do?"
Gu Yikun secretly told her, "I can’t paint."
An Junxi laughed, "Can you paint now?"
"Slightly."
An Junxi also secretly told her husband, "I can’t appreciate paintings. Before, when my mother took me to the Mingfang Association’s charity auction dinner, other ladies asked me which painting was good, I just listened to what others said and added some comments, which became my appraisal words."
