Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 398: He Is Very Cold to Me

An Junxi took the child home after dinner. No matter how angry she was, she still had to go home. Her daughter was still young, and she didn’t feel comfortable leaving home for too long.

She had been out for several hours. Gu Yikun hadn’t called her, and she didn’t know if he had finished work.

An Junxi had a sour look on her face. Gong Xiaoyu was sending her and Jin Xiu to the car and put a bag in the back seat. "I bought this for you when I passed by. It’s the latest style. You have to use it tonight. Remember what I said and don’t throw a tantrum."

Gu Jinxiu took the bag. "What’s this gift?"

An Junxi saw the store logo on the bag. Isn’t this the shop where the three of them bought sexy lingerie?

She realized and snatched the bag. "Kids shouldn’t look at adult stuff. Senior! How could you..."

Gong Xiaoyu closed the car door for her. "Remember to use it and stop throwing tantrums. Otherwise, He Sirui will be thrilled."

An Junxi couldn’t stop Senior and found the bag scorching in her hand. She couldn’t hold it, nor could she let it go.

Xiao Liu asked her, "Young Madam, are we going home now? The President said to go back after dinner."

An Junxi asked, "The President called you?"

Xiao Liu glanced at his watch. "He called an hour ago, asking where you were and told me to bring you back early after dinner."

Gu Jinxiu tried to earn some points for his dad. "Mommy, Daddy cares about you a lot."

An Junxi pinched his little ear. "Always speaking up for your father."

As the car headed towards the suburban villa, An Junxi stowed the bag behind the seat, her mind replaying Senior’s words. An Junxi started to reflect on her issues.

How could there be no conflicts living together as a married couple? Since their marriage, it seemed like Yi Ke always yielded to her. No matter how she lost her temper, he never blamed her once.

Sometimes, she would be unreasonable when her temper flared up. Like the time they had a heated argument and separated rooms, Yi Ke went on a business trip to Russia without telling her. Actually, both had made mistakes.

At that time, she had reminded herself to be careful not to be too spoiled. But Yi Ke was too good to her, she always realized her mistake after acting willfully.

Senior was right. She couldn’t always demand his concession.

But this time she had been good to him. She had waited in the room to sleep with him for the past two days. When he worked overtime in the study, she went to call him, but he didn’t soften up.

What else should she do? Really do as Senior said... An Junxi thought of the bag behind the seat, and she started sweating a little.

Does she really have to do that?

Wondering what style Senior picked out for her, if she put on the sexy lingerie and he still wasn’t moved, that would be utterly humiliating!

An Junxi struggled inside, all right, considering he called to check on her whereabouts, she was willing to go for it.

As for He Sirui appearing in his office... once she gets him to bed, then she’ll make him explain himself properly.

An Junxi made up her mind and instantly felt she was about to undertake a daunting task, feeling unwell all over.

The car entered the gate and wound its way along a long road before stopping in front of the courtyard.

An Junxi took the bag with the lingerie, disguising it with other bags. Gu Jinxiu wanted to help, "Mommy, let me carry two bags for you."

An Junxi dared not let the child touch it, "It’s not much. I can handle it myself."

The entrance was brightly lit, with servants bustling around the courtyard. Seeing them return, they stood aside, "Young Madam, Little Master."

An Junxi saw Gu Yikun’s car parked at the entrance. They entered the house, and the hall was filled with things she had bought and had people send back.

This scene felt somewhat familiar.

Mrs. He, who paid the most attention to their relationship status, remarked as soon as An Junxi returned, "Young Master is in the children’s room with Ai Xi. Jun Xi, you two again..."

An Junxi interjected, "We didn’t argue, don’t worry."

Mrs. He seemed skeptical, "Really?"

"Really."

Gu Jinxiu went upstairs to find his sister while An Junxi sneakily went up to the third floor and stowed the lingerie bag in the wardrobe.

No wonder Senior asked at dinner if she’d used that piece of lingerie last time. She said it was exiled to the mansion room, unused, so Senior found an excuse to go out.

An Junxi locked the room, took out the lingerie, and took a look. With one look, she felt cowardly.

Just a few flimsy pieces of fabric, designed very daring and sexy. To be honest, she’d rather wear nothing than put on this... improper outfit!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. An Junxi hastily put the lingerie away and went to open the door. Gu Yikun stood outside.

An Junxi felt guilty, glancing left and right but not looking at him, "What is it?"

Gu Yikun saw she was fine in the room and said, "Your daughter is looking for you."

"Oh."

Gu Yikun came in to get clothes for a shower. An Junxi asked, "Are you still busy later?"

"Yes."

He closed the bathroom door. An Junxi felt uncomfortable. When had his conversations with her become so curt?

An Junxi wanted to throw away that lingerie. He was so cold to her, and if she still clung to him, wouldn’t that be humiliating?

As she opened the wardrobe, Gong Xiaoyu called, "Jun Xi, how far have you gotten?"

An Junxi didn’t say anything, and Gong Xiaoyu continued, "Thinking of backing out? Then you can watch your husband being seduced by others."

An Junxi didn’t want that to happen, "Senior, he’s very cold to me."

"He’s always giving in to you, with no principles left. What more do you want?"

"You didn’t help me. Whose side are you on?"

Gong Xiaoyu said, "I didn’t help you? I braved the awkwardness to buy lingerie for you, and the boss laughed at me, asking if the product worked well and I came back for more."

Gong Xiaoyu felt somewhat low. When the three of them bought lingerie together, she was still with Yue Xiaoyang, thinking she had a chance to use it.

An Junxi was persuaded after a good lecture from Senior, "I know. I will."

She went to the children’s room on the second floor. Ai Xi had not seen her mama for several hours, clinging to An Junxi for a princess story.

She had read this story countless times, but she patiently repeated it again.

After the story, the little baby started to feel sleepy, calling for daddy’s hug.

An Junxi said, "Daddy is busy tonight. Baby, go to sleep first, and tomorrow daddy will play with you."

Mrs. He said from the side, "Jun Xi, Young Master has been waiting for you all night. He only felt at ease when he saw the car return from the balcony."

An Junxi didn’t believe it, "He didn’t pay any attention to me."

Mrs. He said, "Why would I lie to you? I wanted to call you, but the Young Master said you wanted to have some fun outside, so he let you play a while."

An Junxi couldn’t understand Gu Yikun. If he cared, why hadn’t he come to her when she got back?

She soothed the baby to sleep, asked Mrs. He to watch Ai Xi, and went back to the third floor.

Gu Yikun was in the study. An Junxi knocked on the door, "Yi Ke, how late will you be working?"

Gu Yikun didn’t look up from his computer, "Not soon. You go to sleep first."

An Junxi went back to her room to shower. She felt like she was doing something bad, sneaking that lingerie into the bathroom.
