Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 399: His Benefits

An Junxi hesitated for a long time before putting on the "latest version" she had heard so much about. Standing in front of the mirror, she felt her face burning up.

She usually paid attention to her diet and exercise, maintaining a great figure that became even more curvaceous and charming after having a child.

Gu Yikun had said that he loved every part of her, that as long as she was there, he wouldn’t spare a glance at any other woman.

His passionate behavior made An Junxi believe his words, though he had been a bit cold recently.

Sometimes, An Junxi felt very insecure, especially now with He Sirui around. This woman was much more formidable than Liu Zhiwen, and An Junxi didn’t want any crisis in her marriage with Yi Ke.

She put on a bathrobe, walked to the door of the room, then walked back to the mirror.

She arranged her hair in front of the mirror, taking deep breaths, feeling extremely nervous.

Upon walking out the door, she realized she wasn’t wearing shoes. An Junxi didn’t want to go back for them, fearing she’d lose her hard-won courage.

She stood at the door of the study, where Gu Yikun was sitting at his desk, staring at the computer screen.

An Junxi knocked on the door: "Honey."

Gu Yikun didn’t look at her. He picked up a cup and took a sip of water, saying, "You go rest first, I’m not done yet."

An Junxi bit her lip. Being rejected, what should she do next?

There was no carpet and the floor was a bit cold. She shifted her feet back and forth, and Gu Yikun finally looked up and saw her. He stood up, "Why aren’t you wearing shoes?"

He walked up to her and noticed that An Junxi’s face was unusually red. He reached out to touch her forehead, "Got a fever? Your face..."

An Junxi said, "I’m a bit hot."

Gu Yikun looked at her bathrobe. It wasn’t thick, how could she be hot?

He picked her up, and An Junxi saw a glimmer of hope. She clung to his shoulder, "You’re not working overtime? Will you sleep with me?"

"No, I’m just taking you back to the room. You should sleep first."

An Junxi felt deflated, "Then I won’t go back to the room. I’ll stay here with you."

Gu Yikun said, "Go put on some shoes."

"No, I want to stay here."

Gu Yikun had no choice but to sit her on the office chair and let her feet rest on the footstool beside it.

He sat down and continued staring at the computer. An Junxi saw a colorful array on the screen, including some stocks she had seen in finance magazines. "Yi Ke, are you watching the US stock market?"

"Yes."

An Junxi noticed the stock code for Senye Group, "Yi Ke, why are you so fixated on Senye?"

She worried that asking too much would annoy him, but Gu Yikun didn’t seem impatient. He said, "At most in two days, I want Senye’s stock to tank."

The cold look in his eyes made An Junxi a bit frightened.

She hugged his arm, "Honey, I’ve heard that manipulating the stock market is illegal, you shouldn’t..."

Gu Yikun turned to look at her. Her big eyes were filled with worry. He smiled, reached out, and ruffled her hair, "Your husband wouldn’t do that. I have other ways, don’t worry."

An Junxi felt a bit more at ease, leaning on his shoulder, "Then why are you doing this? Did Senye offend you?" She remembered that over half a year ago, the Gu Family and Senye had cooperative projects, but since her conflict with Mrs. Yin, the cooperation had ended.

Gu Yikun said, "They offended you, which means they offended me."

"When was that?"

"At the Mingfang Association."

"Oh," An Junxi realized it was because of the bad things Tao Manqiu had said about her at the Mingfang Association. "Have you been busy bringing down Senye these past days?"

"It’s not that serious, just a small punishment making them lose a few billion."

An Junxi’s jaw dropped, a few billion just a ’small’ punishment? In the eyes of the rich, did money not count as money!

"Honey, are you really so busy that you don’t have time to pay attention to me?"

Gu Yikun said coldly, "Think about what you did wrong?"

An Junxi felt extremely wronged, "I was just joking."

Gu Yikun raised an eyebrow, "Just a joke?" She had said, if you don’t want me, then forget it.

Could such words be said casually? How could he not be angry?

Gu Yikun looked into her eyes, "Xi Xi, you can’t joke like that again. You heard some gossip outside and told me to leave you. Shouldn’t you be punished?"

An Junxi took the initiative to open her palm and held it out to him, "Okay, let you punish."

Gu Yikun raised his hand.

An Junxi closed her eyes, waiting for the expected pain in her palm. Instead, he took her hand and kissed it with his thin lips.

An Junxi opened her eyes. Before she could feel his warmth, he pulled away.

An Junxi felt a sense of loss. Gu Yikun said, "How could I dare hit you? Not afraid your dad would kill me?"

An Junxi chuckled, "I knew you wouldn’t bear to hit me."

"Humph, if you dare make me angry like that again, see if I don’t hit you."

Gu Yikun’s words were assertive, but he knew he couldn’t bring himself to do it, even if it was just hitting her palm, he’d still feel hurt.

An Junxi felt glad the misunderstanding was cleared, "So, are you not angry anymore?"

"I was never angry."

An Junxi patted her chest in relief. This meant the "battle outfit" she was wearing would go unused.

Feeling fortunate, she thought about saving it for next time.

Standing up, she said, "I’ll go back to the room then. Finish up and come to bed early."

Gu Yikun said, "You’re not wearing shoes. Let me carry you."

An Junxi walked towards the door, "No need, it’s just a few steps, I’ll manage..."

She worried he’d discover the lingerie underneath if she went back to the room, so she hurried. In her haste, she didn’t notice the robe belt got caught on the armrest of the office chair. With a pull, the belt came undone, and the robe slipped off her delicate skin, gracefully falling to the floor.

Her snow-white body was exposed to Gu Yikun’s eyes.

Her alluring figure was covered with seductive lingerie, emphasizing her full curves. The scanty material failed to hide anything, making her figure look even more wild.

The sight ignited a fire in Gu Yikun’s eyes, his blood boiling all of a sudden.

An Junxi felt a chill on her body. She crossed her arms over her chest, the pressure enhancing her cleavage. She looked at Gu Yikun, whose eyes were ready to devour her.

Perhaps because of the chill, goosebumps appeared on An Junxi’s skin. She squatted down, grabbed the robe, and hastily threw it on, "I, I, I... I’ll go back to the room first."

Her sight was blocked by his tall shadow. Looking up, she saw Gu Yikun pulling her robe tight and lifting her up.

His body was warm, and his breaths were uneven. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

An Junxi knew what he wanted to do. She was mentally prepared but still felt nervous, clutching his clothes, "Honey..."

Gu Yikun took big strides back to the room, shut the door, and threw her onto the bed.

An Junxi lay fully exposed under his gaze. The room light was too bright, making her pull the blanket over herself, finding something to say, "Yi Ke, aren’t you working overtime?"

Stopping her movements, Gu Yikun’s tall frame loomed over, and in a husky voice, he asked, "Honey, when did you buy new clothes?"

An Junxi replied softly, "Just, just this afternoon."

Gu Yikun’s hand roamed inch by inch over her skin, his voice becoming even more magnetic, "Why did you wear them today?"

She had dressed up like this to find him in the study, but he had been focused on work, almost missing such a treat.

If he had really missed this sight, it would have been a huge loss for him.

An Junxi huddled in his arms, "Who told you to ignore me?"

Gu Yikun chuckled, "Honey, if you had dressed like this earlier, I wouldn’t have gone to the office for the past few days."
