Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 87: It’s Not Easy Being a Wealthy Family’s Daughter-in-law

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: It’s Not Easy Being a Wealthy Family’s Daughter-in-law

An Junxi didn’t dare walk too fast. She held onto the stair railing and slowly walked downstairs. Sister He in the dining room saw her coming down and hurried over to support her, saying, "Jun Xi, did you sleep well last night?" Her face was full of gossip.

With a suggestive tone, Sister Li also came over and said, "The young master specifically told us not to disturb you, to let you sleep in, and to keep your breakfast warm so you can eat as soon as you wake up."

Her eyes glanced sharply at An Junxi’s neck.

An Junxi, thin-skinned, couldn’t handle their teasing. "You guys just love making fun of me!"

The two older women laughed heartily.

After she finished breakfast, An Junxi learned from Sister He that her mother-in-law was at the golf course. She thought she had to show some form of apology for breaking her mother-in-law’s favorite teacup.

An Junxi went upstairs to change into sportswear, then went out and got on the tour car. She said to Xiao Luo, who was driving, "Please take me to the golf course."

In fact, she still didn’t know how many staff were hired in this villa area, but she knew the names of those she saw often.

"Alright, Young Madam." The car started quickly.

An Junxi found the title strange. "Xiao Luo, just call me by my name as before."

"I can’t, Madam said we must follow the rules."

An Junxi suddenly understood. No wonder all the servants were so respectful to her today, it turned out to be the result of her mother-in-law’s personal training.

As a girl from an ordinary family, with Gu Yikun out all the time, if it weren’t for her mother-in-law’s support, she might not have been able to manage so many people.

An Junxi felt even more grateful to her mother-in-law.

When she arrived at the golf course, her mother-in-law had just made a beautiful shot. An Junxi only knew a little about golf but sincerely praised her mother-in-law.

Liang Huiyun turned to look at her and asked, "Just woke up?"

An Junxi nodded while looking at her toes and proactively said, "I’ll get up earlier from now on."

Liang Huiyun said, "Tea ceremony, flower arranging, German, French, golf, which one are you best at?"

An Junxi felt extremely embarrassed. Her mother-in-law didn’t ask which ones she knew but which one she was best at. Wasn’t this overestimating her?

She honestly shook her head, "I don’t know any of them."

Liang Huiyun shook her head and handed her the golf club, "Give it a try."

An Junxi took the club, and as she started to move a little, she heard a crisp "crack" sound.

Liang Huiyun looked at her in surprise.

An Junxi blushed, "Actually, I used to exercise every morning, but I didn’t today, so my bones are a bit stiff..." The more she spoke, the softer her voice became.

Liang Huiyun noticed the marks on An Junxi’s neck and openly said, "If Yikun doesn’t go to the company because of you today, I wouldn’t be talking to you so nicely right now. Young people, full of vigor, must know moderation."

An Junxi really wanted to dig a hole and hide. "I understand, Mother."

"Hmm," Liang Huiyun handed the golf club to the servant behind her and got on the tour car. "Let’s go back, I’ve arranged a flower arranging class for you."

An Junxi followed her onto the car, "Do I have to go out for the class?" She already felt her days turning hopelessly dark.

"The teacher will come to the house to teach. Just learn earnestly."

An Junxi felt bitter but couldn’t express it. Being a daughter-in-law in a wealthy family was truly not easy!

Liang Huiyun gave An Junxi a schedule. Except for her work hours, her time was almost fully booked!

This mother-in-law was too enthusiastic, arranging everything for her. What about her personal time?

Noticing An Junxi’s troubled expression, Liang Huiyun said, "I was thinking about having you quit your job to focus on learning at home. What do you think?"

As soon as An Junxi heard this, she immediately thought the current schedule was the best arrangement! "No need to quit, Mother, I can manage."

"Don’t force yourself."

"I won’t, I’ll study earnestly." Sobbing inside, being threatened to quit, what else could she say? The older generation was indeed savvy!

Throughout the whole day, An Junxi learned flower arranging and the tea ceremony. Fortunately, her potential as a top student was still there, and her artistic skills from photography helped her learn quickly.

The teacher praised An Junxi, "Miss An is very good at learning."

Hearing this, Liang Huiyun’s expression brightened considerably.

In the evening, Gu Yikun returned home early. His young wife didn’t come out to greet him, so he asked Sister Li, "Where is Jun Xi?"

"The Young Madam is upstairs. She was tired from learning flower arranging and the tea ceremony all day."

Gu Yikun took off his suit jacket and went upstairs. Sure enough, he saw his young wife lying on the couch, deeply asleep.

Feeling a bit of heartache, he walked over, sat beside her, and didn’t dare to wake her up.

In a half-asleep state, An Junxi felt someone brushing her forehead hair. She opened her eyes, and Gu Yikun’s face, which could wreak havoc, gradually came into focus. She actively snuggled into his arms, "You’re finally back."

Her dependent look made Gu Yikun’s heart soften. He wrapped his arm around her waist, "If it’s too tiring, don’t learn. As my wife, it’s others who should look up to you. Who dares to gossip about you?"

"No, I have my own standards to meet," An Junxi said. "I will do better."

Gu Yikun affectionately kissed her cheek, "That’s the An Junxi I know." He admitted, a serious woman like this was very charming.

He looked down and saw the marks he left on her neck, with a hint of scenery peeking through the neckline, making his eyes turn passionate again.

Jun Xi was very familiar with that look from Gu Yikun and said in a panic, "I’m still very tired, hubby, please spare me."

Not being able to help himself, Gu Yikun generously said, "I’ll let you rest tonight."

An Junxi nestled in his arms and shared some interesting stories about learning art. After their affectionate moments, they went downstairs to eat.

At the dining table, Liang Huiyun told An Junxi, "The family elders will be back in a few days. Prepare yourself well. As a new daughter-in-law, you eventually have to meet the family elders."

An Junxi felt nervous but tried to remain calm on her face, "I will, Mother."

After dinner, Gu Yikun went to the study for a video conference as usual. An Junxi, Liang Huiyun, and Gu Jinxiu took a walk in the yard. Gu Jinxiu was visibly excited. Ever since he had a new mother, life had been different.

Before, it was all about studying every day. Now, he could walk with his new mom and grandma just like other kids. It was very nice.

Liang Huiyun spoke to An Junxi about several important family elders in the Gu Family. An Junxi noted everything down. Many branches of the Gu Family were spread across the world, and the family gathered every two years. The main members she needed to understand were Gu Yikun’s father, Gu Kuangyong, second uncle Gu Kuangxia, sister Gu Qianlan, aunt Gu Kuangyuan, and his grandfather’s brother, Seventh Uncle.

Gu Yikun’s grandparents had passed away many years ago. Now, Seventh Uncle was the oldest elder in the family.

While listening, An Junxi organized these relationships in her mind, carefully asking about their likes and habits. Seeing that An Junxi was thoughtful, Liang Huiyun nodded secretly. Although An Junxi’s background was not impressive, with a few years of proper training, she could also become the head mistress of the family.

After understanding enough, An Junxi escorted Liang Huiyun back to her room, then told Jinxiu to go back and study before heading up to the third floor herself.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, she received a phone call from Lv Jing.
