Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 125: Rivals Meet

Gu Yikun went to take a shower. When he came out, he naturally picked An Junxi up and brought her back to bed.

Before marrying him, An Junxi never realized how much he liked to carry her. Many times, she didn’t even need to walk.

Gu Yikun said, "Wife, you’re too light."

An Junxi’s hand rested on his shoulder. After placing her on the bed, Gu Yikun didn’t remove his hand,

An Junxi felt a sudden warm flow below. Her whole body stiffened, and she pushed Gu Yikun away.

Gu Yikun looked at her in surprise, "Wife?"

An Junxi blushed and ran to the bathroom. She closed the door and checked herself. Sure enough, her period had started.

Why did it come a few days early?

She changed into clean underwear and put on a sanitary pad.

Gu Yikun knocked on the door outside, "Xi Xi, are you feeling unwell?"

An Junxi opened the door, tugged at her nightgown, and mumbled, "My period started."

Gu Yikun was taken aback at first, then he returned to the bed, looking dejected.

Amused, An Junxi followed him. Gu Yikun sat leaning against the headboard and reached out to her.

An Junxi climbed onto the bed and moved to sit in his lap.

Gu Yikun placed his hand on her lower abdomen and asked, "Does it hurt?" He remembered how uncomfortable she usually felt during her periods.

His hand carried a warmth that made An Junxi’s lower abdomen feel cozy.

She shook her head, "I’m not uncomfortable."

"Did it come early this month?"

An Junxi didn’t expect him to remember her cycle so clearly, "It came a few days early, but it’s not a big deal."

She thought of the conversation she had with her mother-in-law about contraception tonight and felt a little embarrassed. The arrival of her period proved their contraception was effective.

Gu Yikun said, "Then rest early."

He picked up the phone on the bedside table, and An Junxi saw him type "what to be careful about during periods" into the web search.

An Junxi was easily moved, and at that moment, she really wanted to kiss her husband. But thinking it might ignite his desire, she held back.

Gu Yikun read several pages before clicking back to the main page.

An Junxi widened her eyes, "When did you set a new wallpaper?"

The new wallpaper was a photo of the two of them together, with her leaning against his chest. They looked very intimate.

Gu Yikun placed the phone aside, reached out to turn off the light, and lay down with his arms around her, "Just changed it. Looks good, right?"

An Junxi said, "It looks good, but what if your subordinates see it? Won’t it be bad?"

The aloof CEO image might collapse.

"What’s bad about it? Who dares to say it doesn’t look good?" President Gu was as domineering as ever.

An Junxi laughed. She placed her hand on his chest, occasionally drawing circles.

Gu Yikun held her hand in his palm, "Stop fooling around, sleep."

An Junxi turned over, leaning her back against his chest, obediently holding still.

Gu Yikun moved his hand to her lower abdomen, and warmth filled An Junxi’s heart. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Gu Yikun said he wanted to take An Junxi out. Of course, Liang Huiyun didn’t object, but Gu Qianlan had something to say, "Brother, where are you going? I want to go too."

Gu Kuangyuan leisurely said, "Qianlan, don’t be so inconsiderate."

An Junxi liked this aunt’s personality a lot. She typically didn’t bother with anything or talk much, but whenever she did, every word she said was spot on.

Gu Yikun also said, "I’m going out with your sister-in-law. What would you do? Carry our bags?"

Gu Qianlan was afraid of her brother and aunt at home. Seeing that they didn’t save face for her, she was so angry she couldn’t finish her breakfast.

Jin Xiu saw his aunt wasn’t allowed to go, so he didn’t dare say he wanted to tag along either, and just told his mom to come back early.

Once they got into the car, An Junxi couldn’t help but laugh, "Haha, Yikun, sometimes you’re really sharp-tongued, but I like it."

Gu Yikun leaned his face over, "Is there a reward?"

An Junxi kissed him on the cheek, "Alright, drive now."

Gu Yikun stole a kiss from her face and started the car.

That day, they spent time like an ordinary couple, holding hands while shopping, watching a movie, and buying things.

Even while watching a movie, An Junxi couldn’t go without cola, but Gu Yikun insisted she not drink it and bought her hot ginger tea instead.

After they came out of the cinema, Gu Yikun took her to buy clothes.

All the while, An Junxi felt a lot of pressure. The man walking beside her was so handsome, and their turn-around rate was incredibly high.

Today, he dressed very casually. The cotton T-shirt subtly outlined his muscles as he walked, making this man even more charming.

An Junxi felt a little overshadowed.

Gu Yikun thought she might be tired from her period. He stopped to look at her, "Tired? Want a piggyback ride?"

An Junxi glanced around, "This is a mall."

"So what?" Gu Yikun said, starting to squat down.

An Junxi quickly pulled him up, "I’m not tired. Just walk slower."

"Really?"

"Mm," An Junxi held his hand, "Let’s go pick out gifts for Mom and Dad."

Lv Jing stood in the Hermès store, holding onto the latest bag, unwilling to let go. The sales assistant next to her looked a bit arrogant and said without much enthusiasm, "If you like it, should I wrap it up for you?"

She had been in sales for several years and had a keen eye. One look at this woman and she knew she couldn’t afford it—at best, she could buy some out-of-season discounted items.

Lv Jing sensed her disdain and flames of anger rose in her heart. She tightened her grip on the bag.

The sales assistant hurried to take the bag and inspected it carefully with gloved hands, complaining, "Miss, our bags require delicate care. You can’t handle them so roughly. If it gets scratched, you’ll have to buy it."

Lv Jing said, "Do you think I can’t afford it?"

She forcefully grabbed the bag, walked to the cashier, and took out her credit card, "Charge it!"

The sales assistant’s face changed, but she still proficiently swiped the card. Lv Jing entered the PIN, and the card reader beeped twice, indicating that the payment failed.

The sales assistant handed the card back to her, "Miss, your card has insufficient funds." Her words were even more contemptuous.

Just as An Junxi and Gu Yikun walked into the store, they heard a familiar female voice, "How can there be insufficient funds? Is there something wrong with your machine?"

An Junxi looked over—it was Lv Jing.

Several sales associates warmly surrounded them, "Mr. Gu, you’re here. What bag would you like to buy for the lady? We just got some new arrivals."

As luxury sales associates, an essential part of their training was to recognize the faces and names of major tycoons to avoid offending important clients. Mr. Gu was at the top of that list, so they recognized him instantly.

They discreetly observed the woman beside Mr. Gu, filled with naked envy, jealousy, and hatred. It was their first time seeing Mr. Gu bring a female companion for shopping. Who could she be to Mr. Gu?

Lv Jing, hearing the commotion at the door, looked up and locked eyes with An Junxi, beside whom stood Mr. Gu.

The sales assistant next to her continued to remind, "Miss, your credit card has insufficient funds. Do you have another card?"

Lv Jing’s face burned with embarrassment.
