An Junxi noticed the subtle change in He Sirui’s expression. She hid a smile at the corner of her mouth, then suddenly clung to Gu Yikun’s arm with an obviously uncomfortable look on her face.
Gu Yikun quickly supported her, "Where does it hurt?"
An Junxi said painfully, "I haven’t worn such high shoes in so long, my legs hurt."
Gu Yikun glanced at her high heels, then imdiately picked her up and said domineeringly, "Don’t wear these shoes next ti. I’ll have custom ones made for you."
He Sirui had never seen President Gu so concerned about soone. Just from feeling tired after wearing high heels too long, he showed such pain.
This was not the Gu Yikun she knew at all.
An Junxi saw He Sirui’s look of disappointnt and added fuel to the fire by saying, "Yi Ke, so many people are watching, put down first."
"What if you fall? I’ll check it for you when we get ho."
Having said that, he ignored He Sirui, turned around, and left holding her.
In Gu Yikun’s arms, An Junxi politely bid farewell to He Sirui, "Miss He, we’re heading ho now, see you next ti."
He Sirui forced a smile. "Okay, see you next ti." Gu Yikun didn’t say a single word to her, carrying his wife out of the venue.
He Sirui sat down with a drink. How well he treated An Junxi truly caught her off guard.
Gu Yikun carried An Junxi into his car. An Junxi noticed so reporters taking pictures in the corner, "Yi Ke, there are reporters."
"Let them take pictures. We’re a legitimate married couple, not having an affair."
He fastened An Junxi’s seatbelt, got into the driver’s seat, and started the car. It was only after driving out of the parking lot that Gu Yikun said, "Why did you co alone tonight? If you wanted to co, you could have told . Is the dress prepared by Auntie? Don’t wear such things next ti."
He felt uncomfortable thinking about the n staring at his wife.
An Junxi looked down at her neckline, "I’m dressed much more conservatively than He Sirui. Are you embarrassed that I’m dragging you down?"
"That’s not what I ant."
An Junxi said, "Then tell , why didn’t you bring tonight?"
Gu Yikun’s car stopped at a red light. He held her hand patiently, "Xi Xi, nothing is going on between her and . Don’t overthink it. Don’t you know how I feel about you? Haven’t I done enough to earn your trust?"
"Then don’t et with her so much in the future, and I will trust you."
Gu Yikun’s tone finally had a hint of impatience, "Xi Xi, you can’t be unreasonable like this."
An Junxi withdrew her hand, "I’m being unreasonable? Gu Yikun, you said no other woman would sit in your passenger seat, but I saw with my own eyes you driving He Sirui. You lied to , saying you spent all day in the office, attending a banquet without inviting your wife, but let He Sirui be your date. Tonight everyone knows Miss He’s from the He Family, but no one knows Mrs. Gu. You didn’t introduce to anyone. How can I not overthink it?"
She kept questioning. Gu Yikun had a headache listening to her. The light turned green, and he pulled the car over. If they didn’t clear things up tonight, they would end up fighting again at ho.
"I didn’t lie to you. I was afraid you would overthink, so I didn’t tell you. Have you been upset about this these past few days? You could have told directly. And about the banquet tonight, you should have co looking for , not let those two n fawn over you. How would others perceive that..."
An Junxi couldn’t believe it, "You think I intentionally gave them a chance to fawn over , don’t you?" She dressed like this to co find him. How could he think this way?
Gu Yikun let out a heavy sigh, "We can’t resolve this if you’re like this. Let’s wait until you calm down to talk."
An Junxi wanted to say sothing more. She adjusted her sitting position, feeling sothing press against her from behind the seat.
She reached back, feeling around for a mont, and pulled out a lipstick from a gap.
Angrily, An Junxi questioned, "Whose lipstick is this, He Sirui’s?"
Gu Yikun didn’t think much of it, "I don’t know, maybe."
An Junxi opened the window and threw the lipstick out. He Sirui clearly left it on purpose to provoke her!
"Change cars; change cars tomorrow. I don’t want to sit in this car anymore!"
"You’re being unreasonable."
"You still say I’m being unreasonable? Open the door; I want to get out."
Gu Yikun used to never talk to her like this. For He Sirui, he called her unreasonable; these words sounded incredibly heavy to An Junxi.
Gu Yikun locked the car doors and stepped on the gas, speeding back to the apartnt. An Junxi kicked off her shoes and ran inside barefoot. Gu Yikun shouted after her, "Don’t hurt your feet."
She ignored him and went upstairs by herself.
Gu Kuangyuan and Ai Xi were having a good ti. Seeing An Junxi and Gu Yikun co in one after the other without saying a word, even a casual observer could tell they were arguing.
She sent Jin Xiu to bed before leaving with Cheng Ye. Before leaving, she told Gu Yikun, "Talk it out properly; don’t let it affect the kid."
Housekeeper He noticed they were still ignoring each other, her worried face showing her concern. What on earth were they fighting about?
Upstairs, An Junxi removed her makeup and took a bath. Housekeeper He carried Gu Aixi to another room and left, giving the couple so space.
An Junxi coaxed her daughter to sleep. Gu Yikun ca in and said, "The Gu Family and the He Family have a partnership. Our eting can’t be avoided. What can a lipstick prove? Xi Xi, you never used to be so unreasonable."
An Junxi said softly, "You say so much, but you still think I’m unreasonable, right? You’re tired of , right?"
Gu Yikun went to hold her hand, but An Junxi shoved him out of the room, "Go sleep in the study room; I don’t want to see you."
Of course, Gu Yikun didn’t want to sleep in the study room. An Junxi asked, "Do you want our daughter to watch us argue?"
Gu Yikun glanced at the crib, "Fine, think things through yourself."
He walked out of the room and closed the door, not coming back all night.
He was actually kicked out of their room. No matter how much Gu Yikun usually indulged her, he was angry this ti.
Did she really want to push him to another woman?
An Junxi couldn’t sleep. She originally wanted to communicate well with him. Why did things turn out this way?
This was the first ti since they got married that they slept in separate rooms. An Junxi thought they wouldn’t co to this, but it turned out they were just like any other couple.
The next morning, Gu Yikun didn’t return to the master bedroom. He asked Housekeeper He to bring a few things to the study room, packed up there, and left for the office directly.
Housekeeper He tried to comfort An Junxi, "If there’s a misunderstanding, calm down and clear things up. If you keep pushing your husband away, you’re giving soone else a chance, you know?"
An Junxi was in turmoil. She thought for the whole day and decided to have a good talk with Gu Yikun when he ca back in the evening, not losing her temper anymore.
She waited until after nine at night, but he hadn’t co back.
She called him, but the call wouldn’t go through, so she had to call Secretary Wang. Secretary Wang said, "President left for Russia with Miss He on a private jet this afternoon. Madam didn’t know?"
