Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 133 Li Chong

Lv Jing walked over and sat next to the man. She gave a seductive smile and raised her glass of baijiu, clinking it with his, "Boss Li, do you think I have what it takes to be a model in your fashion company?"

She was already dressed provocatively, and her flirtatious demeanor made her even more enticing. Li Chong’s eyes were glued to her chest, and his hands started to wander, "Little beauty, come to my office tomorrow, I’ll personally interview you."

Lv Jing leaned into Li Chong’s embrace, enduring the greasy feeling of the man, and said coyly, "Why wait till tomorrow? We could do the interview tonight. I can wear anything."

Li Chong was aroused by her, "Okay, let’s go now."

Zhang Dong laughed even more joyfully, "Boss Li, you have a good eye. She not only looks good in clothes, but she looks even better out of them!"

The man roared with laughter, "Then I have to try it out!"

Zhang Dong said, "Boss Li will definitely be satisfied."

An Junxi was accompanying her mother grocery shopping, and Mrs. An made several mistakes while picking things up. An Junxi asked, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Mrs. An said, "When your father and I left Xin’an, we heard that your uncle was sentenced to fourteen years in prison, and the family had to pay a huge amount of money to the bank and the government. Your aunt couldn’t handle the blow and was hospitalized. I don’t know how they are doing now."

An Junxi said, "They have to bear the consequences of their actions. None of us can help them, and there’s no need to help them. It’s not worth it. Besides, didn’t An Lingling marry a wealthy husband? He should be able to help, right?"

"Her husband Li Chong spends most of his time in Yan City, busy with his clothing business. After the family’s incident, Lingling moved over as well. Who knows how Wu Fen is doing now."

"An Lingling also came to Yan City?" An Junxi was surprised, "When there was no trouble, she visited her mother’s home all the time. As soon as something happened, she escaped faster than anyone. Aunt treated her like a treasure, yet now she doesn’t even stay by Aunt’s hospital bed. It’s really disheartening."

Mrs. An said, "I still can’t be at ease. Should we go back and take a look?"

"Absolutely not. How they used to bully us, I remember very clearly. I won’t kick them while they’re down, but if they want me to help, it’s very difficult."

Mrs. An tapped her forehead, "My daughter, no one can bully you with your personality!" She sometimes marveled at how her daughter differed from her and her husband. When necessary, she wasn’t confused at all. Perhaps with such a personality, she would fare better in the Gu Family. Even without a prestigious background, no one would dare to bully her.

Mrs. An was still quite relieved, no matter how big the issue, nothing was as important as her daughter’s happiness, "Then we won’t go back."

"That’s right. You should also talk to Dad and tell him not to think too much."

The two carried a bunch of groceries home. An Junxi had just sat down when her mother hurried her away, "It’s getting late. Go back and have dinner at home. I won’t cook for you tonight."

An Junxi was very sad, "Really, a married daughter is like spilled water, not even dinner is kept for me."

Mrs. An pinched her arm with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? You’re the Gu family’s daughter-in-law now. Don’t run here all the time, what will they think at home?"

Mr. An also said, "It’s fine to come over occasionally for dinner, but you need to act like a daughter-in-law now that you’re married."

"Alright, alright. Mom and Dad are always right."

Mrs. An said, "Tomorrow is the weekend. If you have time, bring Jin Xiu over. I’ll cook sweet and sour ribs for him."

"Oh, now Jin Xiu has a higher status than me?"

"Why are you comparing yourself to a child? Honestly..."

An Junxi clung to her mother’s arm and whined, "I’m a baby too, you know."

Mrs. An was amused by her.

At that moment, An Junxi’s phone rang. Mrs. An saw the caller ID and said, "See, Yi Ke is calling you home."

An Junxi turned to answer the phone, "Yi Ke? Yes, I’m about to head back... No need to come over, Xiao Liu is waiting downstairs for me. Okay."

She hung up the phone, said goodbye to her parents, and went downstairs, completely unaware that someone was watching her from the shadows.

An Junxi returned home around dinner time and was surprised to see Liu Zhiwen sitting in the living room.

Gu Qianlan was enthusiastically chatting with Liu Zhiwen. When Liu Zhiwen saw her return, she greeted her with a smile, "Jun Xi, you’re back?"

Gu Qianlan glanced at An Junxi indifferently and ignored her, continuing to look at the cards in her hand, while asking Liu Zhiwen’s opinion, "Do you think I look better in the white dress, or the red one?"

An Junxi put down her bag and sat on the sofa, "Zhi Wen, it’s rare to see you come over."

Liu Zhiwen said, "I’m hosting a birthday party at my house next week, and it happens to be on the weekend. My parents won’t be in the country this year for my birthday, so I want to invite some friends over. Jun Xi, you should come too."

Gu Qianlan was displeased and said, "Why did you invite her?" She didn’t care that An Junxi heard her.

This time, Liu Zhiwen didn’t listen to Gu Qianlan. She said, "The more, the merrier. Jun Xi, come on."

An Junxi always responded better to soft approaches rather than hard. Since Gu Qianlan didn’t want her to go, she deliberately decided to go. Besides, Zhiwen had sincerely invited her, and it would be impolite to refuse, "Alright, I’ll be there."

"That’s great. Our theme is a dance party. Everyone will bring a dance partner. Qianlan and my cousin Fei Bai will be partners. You should bring Brother Gu along."

An Junxi was a bit hesitant. She wasn’t sure if Gu Yikun would be willing to go. He usually resisted attending such social events.

Since she had already agreed to Liu Zhiwen, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I’ll ask him to go." Yi Ke should go with her, right?

Liu Zhiwen said, "Then I’ll leave the guest list to our housekeeper to prepare. I’m looking forward to seeing you both!"

An Junxi smiled, "Thank you for the invitation. We’ll be there."

Sister Li came over from the dining room and said dinner was ready. An Junxi went upstairs to help the Seventh Uncle come down. As everyone took their seats, Gu Yikun wasn’t in sight. Just as she was about to go upstairs to call him, he came down.

Gu Yikun had changed into casual home clothes and naturally took her hand as they walked towards the dining table. The two of them sat on the left side of the Seventh Uncle.

Liu Zhiwen politely greeted everyone. Only then did Gu Yikun realize there was an extra guest at the table. He typically didn’t talk much and said nothing.

During dinner, Gu Qianlan brought up attending Liu Zhiwen’s birthday dance party. Since the family was strict, she had to get her parents’ approval to go out in the evening.

Gu Kuangyong rarely interfered in these matters, and Liang Huiyun didn’t immediately agree. She asked, "What time will you leave, and what time will you return?"

Gu Qianlan was a bit agitated, feeling that her mother’s probing embarrassed her in front of Liu Zhiwen.

She said, "Sister-in-law is going too, and she said she’d bring Brother along."

Liang Huiyun looked at An Junxi, and it was clear from her gaze that she wasn’t too pleased.

An Junxi’s heart sank. This Gu Qianlan always liked to push the responsibility onto her. Clearly, it was her who agreed first, and she was just tagging along!
