Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 612: Pampered by Husband like a Child
Zhang Miaoyan was very weak when she was discharged from the hospital. Now she’s a little better. Xie Yuchen was extremely attentive to her, even feeding her one bite at a time.
"Miao Yan, you are our child’s mother. You must accompany the child to grow up well, okay?"
Xie Yuchen, as if having experienced a life-and-death situation, talks twice as much as he used to. Whenever he has free time, he likes to chat with his wife and always insists on getting a response.
These everyday interactions between husband and wife seemed extremely luxurious to Xie Yuchen. He truly felt that one should cherish what they have.
She was the only person he loved in this lifetime. She gave him a pair of twin children. No matter how good he was to her, it was never enough.
Zhang Miaoyan had half a bowl of porridge fed to her, "Husband, you take better care of the children than I do. I’m not good enough."
"Silly pig, who said you’re not good enough? Did you ask me?" Xie Yuchen said, seeing a grain of rice at the corner of her mouth, he kissed it away, "Wife, you are the best in the world."
Zhang Miaoyan’s eyes turned red, "Husband..."
Xie Yuchen put the bowl aside and hugged her, "Too moved? Even if you’re moved, you can’t cry."
Zhang Miaoyan hugged his waist, "Husband, thank you for giving me a home."
Xie Yuchen kissed her eyebrows, "You gave me a home."
Zhang Miaoyan was under a lot of stress during her postpartum period. She had to breastfeed two children who often cried. If her husband hadn’t been there to help share the load, she would have really sunk into depression.
Xie Yuchen understood her stress. During the postpartum period, he stayed by her and the children’s side every day. When the children cried, he was the first to get up and check, trying his best to let her get more sleep.
Many times, Zhang Miaoyan thought, how blessed was she to become his wife and receive his care and love?
During her postpartum period, An Junxi didn’t dare to look in the mirror. Her mother and Aunt He were very strict with her, not allowing her to touch water. At most, she could use hot water to wipe her face, saying that touching water during the postpartum period could harm the body.
She counted the days day by day, not knowing how ugly she was now, just hoping her husband wouldn’t mind.
As someone with high expectations for herself, An Junxi thought this way, but deep down, she lacked confidence, feeling uneasy around her husband, and even using her temper to cover her awkwardness, always picking fights with Gu Yikun for no reason.
Gu Yikun tolerated it all, always putting his wife first. No matter how unreasonable or stubborn she was, he remained as gentle and tolerant as ever.
An Junxi would reflect on her actions at night, realizing how unreasonable she was, feeling low and wanting to cry.
She really hated this overly sensitive and suspicious side of herself but couldn’t change it. The psychological pressure was immense, and she’d curl up in bed, hiding under the covers, not wanting to interact with anyone.
Gu Yikun was always attentive to the changes in his wife’s mood. He forcibly hugged her, "Wife, why are you unhappy? Tell me."
He knew she had suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to Ai Xi and couldn’t afford to let her fall into depression again. He did his best to be considerate, striving to make her the happiest mom.
An Junxi didn’t want to talk. She felt there was no need to voice those thoughts, thinking they’d make her seem too pretentious.
After coaxing her for a long time, An Junxi finally said, "I’m always throwing tantrums for no reason. Don’t you get tired of me? Even I find myself annoying."
Gu Yikun held her, sitting by the bay window, "Do you see the stars? Do they look the same as in Argentina?"
An Junxi leaned against his chest, looking up at the night sky. The stars were indeed very bright.
Gu Yikun said, "On the stargazing terrace in the Argentine ranch, I taught you how to stargaze, and you said you could make a wish on the stars and it would come true."
An Junxi remembered, wrinkling her nose, "Didn’t you say it was childish and didn’t want to play?"
Gu Yikun smiled, "I secretly made a wish in my heart. I just didn’t tell you."
"What wish?"
Gu Yikun intertwined their fingers, "This lifetime, the next, and the one after that, I want to find you and make you my wife. That’s my wish."
An Junxi didn’t know what to say for a moment. Was he really thinking that?
Gu Yikun whispered affectionately in her ear, "I cherish every day with you by my side. Do you think I could ever get tired of you? Silly."
An Junxi sniffed and punched his shoulder, "Bad guy, always making me want to cry."
Gu Yikun kissed her, "You can’t think this way anymore, okay?"
An Junxi nodded, "Hmm, I know."
Her mood improved, and the time didn’t seem so hard to endure. Little Jing Yue grew day by day, and his face started to show traces of Gu Yikun, especially those big, dark eyes. When he was quiet, An Junxi could look at him all day without getting tired.
Little Master Jing Yue was a very lively baby, rarely quiet, often crying loudly, as if needing to catch everyone’s attention.
Sometimes, not even Sister Xu could soothe him. Only when his mother held him would he stop crying.
Holding the baby made An Junxi’s arms numb. When she put him down, he would start crying, and Gu Yikun would take him, and one shout from him would stop the crying.
An Junxi lightly spanked the baby’s bottom, "You little rascal, you only listen when daddy scolds, huh?"
The baby maybe thought someone was playing with him, giggling with his tiny mouth, making An Junxi cry and laugh at the same time.
She said to her husband, "I don’t know whom he takes after."
Gu Yikun quickly dissociated himself, "I’m not like that."
An Junxi snorted, "So you’re saying he takes after me?"
Gu Yikun coaxed both the baby and his wife, "Wife is so adorable, what’s wrong with taking after her?"
An Junxi was pampered like a child by her husband. During her postpartum period, Gu Yikun only went to the company for a meeting once; the rest of the meetings were held via video call at home, dedicating most of his time to her and the children.
An Junxi didn’t want to neglect Jingxiu and Ai Xi. When her husband was holding the little one, she would chat with the older siblings. Ai Xi had started learning English, taught by her brother, and he did a great job.
An Junxi had simple conversations with her daughter, and Ai Xi could mostly answer, with pretty standard pronunciation.
She excitedly told her husband, "Ai Xi has a strong talent for languages!"
She thought her daughter’s talent was only in her native language. By the time Ai Xi was less than two, her words could already surprise adults. Unexpectedly, she progressed rapidly in learning a foreign language too.
Gu Yikun was quite proud, "My daughter is definitely excellent."
He praised his daughter and added, "Brother is teaching well."
An Junxi didn’t hesitate to praise Jingxiu, "Mommy just gave birth to the little brother and isn’t in good health. Jingxiu can help take care of his sister. It’s really great."
Gu Jingxiu was very happy to receive praise from his parents. He said, "In the future, I’ll teach my little brother too, okay?"
"Sure, your little brother will definitely be willing to learn from you."
Gu Jingxiu felt very accomplished. He was indeed suitable to be the big brother.
