Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 652: Extra Story 28 He Rongyan

Gu Yikun sighed, hugged her from behind, pressed his chest against her back, and said to her, "It’s my fault. How about I write a self-criticism for my wife tomorrow?"

An Junxi almost laughed. The dignified president of the Gu Family writing a self-criticism was truly a rare thought.

She didn’t say anything. Gu Yikun held her small hand and said deeply, "Xi Xi, I saw you holding You Ran’s interview earlier... I admit I’m jealous and petty, my attitude towards you wasn’t good. I won’t behave like this from now on. What can I do to make you feel better?"

An Junxi wasn’t going to be easily coaxed. If she gave in so quickly, what status would she have?

She closed her eyes to sleep. "Stop bothering me, just seeing you annoys me."

Gu Yikun angered his wife. For days, he walked on thin ice. Even the children knew mommy and daddy were at odds, and Gu Jingyue told their grandparents, "Mommy isn’t smiling at daddy." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Gu Kuangyong usually didn’t care about these trivial matters, but Liang Huiyun sought out An Junxi. "What’s going on with you and your husband?"

An Junxi didn’t want to alarm her parents. "Nothing, it’s just a bit too hot here. I’m not used to the climate, and I’m feeling unwell."

Liang Huiyun didn’t push further. She said, "If you’re unwell, then rest more. Tomorrow, the Earl of Colvind and his wife are coming over to discuss cooperation with Yi Ke. As Yi Ke’s wife, you need to help him entertain the guests. Don’t make things difficult for him."

An Junxi was a woman who knew how to behave. "I understand, mom."

Liang Huiyun told her the guests’ preferences and what to pay attention to, and An Junxi listened attentively. After a while, Liang Huiyun started feeling sleepy. "I’m really getting old and useless."

The maid served tea to the lady of the house. An Junxi noticed the late hour and told the servant, "Don’t serve tea at this hour. Make a cup of jasmine honey instead."

The servant went and made another cup. An Junxi checked it before handing it to her mother-in-law. She massaged her legs, "It’s been sultry recently, and there’s been rain. Are your knees hurting, mom?"

Liang Huiyun leaned back in the chair and took a sip of the jasmine honey. An Junxi’s force was just right, and her brows relaxed. "Jun Xi, this massage... Years ago when I first met you, you massaged me like this. How many people were afraid of me back then, but you weren’t. Such bravery."

An Junxi smiled. "A rough girl like me must have angered you a lot back then."

Liang Huiyun put the tea cup aside. "Angry for a night, but felt better the next day. I knew your nature isn’t that fierce. Anyway, don’t be too hard on Yi Ke. Be angry for a couple of days if you must, but don’t let it affect your relationship."

An Junxi took her mother-in-law’s advice to heart. "Alright, I won’t be hard on him."

Liang Huiyun asked, "I heard you’re helping that little girl from the He Family?"

An Junxi paused. Nothing could be kept from her mother-in-law.

She carefully observed her mother-in-law’s expression. "Mom, that little girl is very likable, and Jingxiu is friends with her."

Liang Huiyun said, "Honestly, the He Family’s bankruptcy and He Zhi Lei’s disgrace means that a child from such a family isn’t suitable to be friends with our Jingxiu. What we want is a clean background."

An Junxi didn’t want to delve into this topic with her mother-in-law; it would surely lead to an argument.

She smartly avoided it by saying, "That child is quite good. The Gu’s Charity Fund is implementing a support plan in Lianshan County, and she happens to be there. Seeing her living poorly made me want to help her... The He Family’s lawsuit may have hidden implications, and people are still looking for her. I promised to sponsor her studies and want to change her identity. Maybe mom, you can give her a new name? I’ll handle her enrollment."

He Yiqing’s identity was too sensitive, and it was unclear if the He Family had more enemies. She couldn’t use that name anymore.

Liang Huiyun didn’t particularly like He Yiqing, but she enjoyed naming things, especially when An Junxi asked her for help, which made her feel important.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Call her Rao Yan, He Rongyan."

An Junxi whispered, "He Rongyan, very good. Mom’s names are always the best. I’ll change her name to that."

Liang Huiyun, who said earlier she didn’t like He Yiqing, felt sweetened by An Junxi’s compliment, perhaps due to too much honey.

She said, "Is that girl studying in the United States? If possible, let me see her. After all, I gave her a name, we’re sort of connected."

An Junxi said, "She hasn’t had a good time these years and is very wary of strangers. I’m afraid she might come off as rude to you, mom. Can you wait a bit?"

Liang Huiyun didn’t insist, "That’s fine."

An Junxi secretly wiped her sweat. Luckily, she managed to smooth things over. Her mother-in-law didn’t interfere with He Yiqing’s matters, or it would have been troublesome.
