Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 618: I Can’t Bear to See You Cry

As soon as Gu Kuangyuan left, the housemaid hurriedly called Cheng Ye, "Mr. Cheng, madam has packed her things and left."

Cheng Ye was in a meeting, and he terminated it immediately upon hearing the housemaid’s words, "What do you mean she left? Where did she go?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"I don’t know, madam didn’t say."

Cheng Ye returned to his office and called Gu Kuangyuan’s number from the office phone, only to be told it was turned off.

He asked the housemaid, "Did madam act oddly this morning?"

The housemaid hesitated and said, "Not really, she slept till noon and when she got up, I was washing the sheets. Madam saw... there was some... on the sheets."

Cheng Ye punched his forehead. He forgot to destroy the evidence, and she’d seen it.

"I got it."

Cheng Ye hung up, grabbed his coat, and dashed downstairs.

Jiang Yuan blocked him, "Where are you going? Today’s meeting is important!"

Cheng Ye said, "No matter how important it is, it’s not as important as my wife. She’s run away from home."

Jiang Yuan didn’t believe him, "The eldest miss of the Gu Family ran away from home? She seemed like such a gentle person!"

Cheng Ye didn’t want to waste time, "The contract is on my desk. Unless it’s important, don’t call me."

Gossip bubbles popped up in Jiang Yuan’s mind. The eldest miss of the Gu Family ran away from home. This was big! Would President Gu target their law firm because of this?

Given President Gu’s cold, sinister personality, it was hard to say.

Jiang Yuan inwardly prayed, hoping Cheng Ye could coax his wife back home.

Cheng Ye had just gotten into the car when he received a call from Gu Yikun. Gu Yikun said, "Cheng Ye, I’m giving you fifteen minutes. Get back to the Gu Family and apologize to your wife immediately!"

Cheng Ye felt relieved. She had gone back to the Gu Family; at least she was safe.

The Gu Family Villa was in the suburbs. Cheng Ye sped all the way and arrived at the Gu Family’s hall right on the fifteen-minute mark.

Gu Kuangyuan was sitting on the sofa with her back to him. Gu Yikun grabbed Cheng Ye by the collar, "How dare you make my aunt cry, you’re gutsy!"

Gu Kuangyuan was afraid Yi Ke would hit her husband, so she couldn’t help but peek back. If Yi Ke really hit him, she would definitely intervene.

An Junxi tried to calm her husband, "Yikun, don’t do this. Let’s give them some space to talk."

Not wanting to scare his wife, Gu Yikun released his grip, "Cheng Ye, if there’s no reasonable explanation today, auntie will move back here. You only get one chance."

Cheng Ye adjusted his tie, "My wife naturally lives with me, why would she move back here?"

Seeing his confidence, Gu Yikun balled his fist ready to strike. An Junxi grabbed her husband’s arm, "Let’s go upstairs to see the kids."

Gu Yikun was pulled upstairs by his wife, and the housekeeper asked the maids to leave the hall to give them some privacy.

Cheng Ye sat next to his wife and wrapped his arm around her waist. Gu Kuangyuan pushed him away, "Don’t touch me!"

Cheng Ye forcefully held her in his arms despite her struggling, "Xiao Yuan, do you really want a child so much?"

Gu Kuangyuan tearily said, "Not anymore, I don’t want to have your child!"

Cheng Ye wiped her tears away, "Don’t cry, you know I can’t bear to see you cry."

"No, you can’t bear it. Don’t try to sweet-talk me, you’re just brushing me off!"

"Your health isn’t good. The doctor said pregnancy would be risky. Xiao Yuan, even if we don’t have kids, we can still be happy."

Gu Kuangyuan was stunned, "What? When did the doctor say that?"

So it was her problem? Is that why they couldn’t have children?

Cheng Ye showed a hint of pain in his eyes but quickly hid it. His tone became lighter, "Last time when your digestive system was acting up and you were hospitalized, I had the doctor check on you... It’s fine, if we don’t have kids, we can still be okay. If you like Jing Yue, we can visit more often."

Gu Kuangyuan couldn’t believe the situation, "Did the doctor say I’m an elderly pregnant woman, unfit to carry a child?"

Cheng Ye didn’t want her to be sad, so he skirted the issue, "The reason doesn’t matter; we can adopt a child."

Gu Kuangyuan cried, "It’s my fault. My health is poor, and I can’t even have children..."

Cheng Ye feared she would overthink, "Don’t say that. Compared to you and a child, I only want you. Without you, how would I live?"

He didn’t want his wife blaming herself and kissed her tenderly, "Xiao Yuan, it’s my fault. We grew up together; if I had the courage to confess earlier, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time. It’s my fault."

Gu Kuangyuan stubbornly said, "So what if one doctor said it? We’ll see more doctors. Modern medicine is advanced; there must be a way. Many people older than me have had children."

Cheng Ye’s hands shook slightly as he held her, "Xiao Yuan, you’re very brave, but I’m scared. I’m scared of losing you. I don’t want to take the risk, not even a bit."

Gu Kuangyuan wrapped her arms around his neck, "I’m not afraid. Hubby, I want us to have our child. Let’s try, okay?"

Cheng Ye stayed silent for a long time. Gu Kuangyuan said, "If you don’t agree, I won’t go back home. Divorce."

Cheng Ye raised his brow, lifted her over his shoulder, and playfully smacked her butt, "Divorce? Gu Kuangyuan, tonight your husband will show you what it means to be truly angry."

Remembering how monstrous her husband had been last night, she panicked and shouted for Gu Yikun to save her.

Gu Yikun, not understanding the nuances, really wanted to go down and beat up Cheng Ye, but An Junxi stopped him, "They’re just playing around. Why interfere?"

Gu Yikun said, "She’s shouting for help; didn’t you hear?"

An Junxi rolled her eyes, "Didn’t I also shout for help when you... before?"

Gu Yikun recalled her seductive look on the bed, and a naughty thought came to mind. He started behaving indecently, holding his wife, "Did you shout for help? I can’t remember. Maybe we should refresh my memory."

An Junxi, remembering how someone said she was fat and unattractive at the hotel yesterday, felt insecure and didn’t want her husband to touch her, "Stop messing around. I’m not fully recovered yet; you don’t even care for your wife!"

Faced with such an accusation, Gu Yikun couldn’t argue, so he curbed his desires, saying, "I’ll wait another month."

He had waited so long; another month wouldn’t hurt.

An Junxi was calculating in her mind how she could only start dieting in a month, and how that didn’t seem feasible.

With both scheming their own thoughts upstairs, they paid no attention to Cheng Ye carrying Gu Kuangyuan away downstairs.

Cheng Ye brought his wife back home, "Run away from home again, and I’ll spank you."

Gu Kuangyuan dared not act rashly and negotiated with her husband, "If we have a child, I wouldn’t be able to run away even if I wanted to."

Cheng Ye found her argument reasonable, but the doctor’s advice still lingered as a mental block.

Gu Kuangyuan used all her tricks and spent a week convincing her husband. Finally, Cheng Ye relented, "We’ll try for a baby, but once you’re pregnant, you have to be obedient and not make me worry, okay?"

Gu Kuangyuan immediately became a good girl, "I’ll be good."

Cheng Ye started undressing his wife, "Alright, let’s work hard."

Gu Kuangyuan was both nervous and excited, "Don’t be like last time." She had been exhausted for half a day, and her husband hadn’t given her any seeds!

Cheng Ye chuckled, "Fine, but you have to work hard to turn me on."

Gu Kuangyuan punched him, "You’re threatening me!"
