Gu Yikun spent a brief evening with his children. He wanted to keep his daughter by his side, knowing An Junxi wouldn’t like it, but endured the pain of parting and sent his son and daughter back to Yuhua Mansion.
An Junxi was waiting downstairs, with Ai Xi asleep in her father’s arms.
Gu Jinxi got out of the car himself, and Gu Yikun carried his daughter down.
An Junxi wanted to take over, but Gu Yikun said, "She just fell asleep. I’ll carry her upstairs."
An Junxi didn’t really want Gu Yikun to co inside. She saw her daughter sleeping soundly and stepped aside to let him walk ahead.
Nanny He smiled broadly. The children were indeed a bridge in their relationship, proving the saying right.
They still had two children together; how could they just separate?
The several of them went upstairs together. Gu Yikun placed his daughter on the bed. Little Ai Xi, not too comfortable with the transfer, rubbed her eyes.
Gu Yikun held his daughter’s small hand, gently patting with his large palm.
The baby found a sense of security in her sleep and continued to sleep soundly.
Nanny He told Jinxi to sleep early: "Don’t disturb your father and mother while they’re talking."
Gu Jinxi understood, closed the bedroom door, and climbed onto the bed, leaving space for his parents.
An Junxi watched from the side. She couldn’t deny that Gu Yikun was a good father.
Ai Xi was very dependent on her father. She couldn’t let her personal issues deprive the children of their father’s presence in their childhood.
Gu Yikun told her, "You go take a bath first. I’ll watch the children." He couldn’t take his eyes off the child for a mont.
An Junxi said, "No need, Nanny He can watch her."
Nanny He knocked and said, "Junxi, I’m really tired today. I’ll go to bed first."
An Junxi wanted to call Nanny He back, but she slipped away quickly. An Junxi could tell what Nanny He was up to at a glance.
She stamped her foot. How could Nanny He do this?
Gu Yikun hid his smile, pretending not to notice her actions, and said blandly, "Go ahead, I’ll leave after you finish bathing."
His tone was very calm, and An Junxi couldn’t insist any longer, or she’d seem too concerned and awkward.
She took her pajamas to the bathroom, and Gu Yikun carefully examined the room. Though not big, it was warmly decorated.
He didn’t even want to leave.
Wherever his wife and children were, no matter how small, it was ho.
He had really considered staying, but considering his wife’s temper, he still had to go back.
She needed a few days to calm down, and he had to let her be, at least within his monitoring range at Yuhua Mansion.
If he were too forceful, she might take the children sowhere he couldn’t find them, which would be truly troubleso.
Let her cool off, Gu Yikun thought, it shouldn’t take long.
An Junxi bathed a little quickly tonight, afraid Gu Yikun might cling on and not leave.
She ca out in her pajamas, "I’m done."
Gu Yikun glanced over her, her post-bath appearance always the most beautiful, pure and untouched.
He hadn’t seen her looking so enchanting in a long ti.
Gu Yikun restrained himself from looking like a hungry wolf, forced himself to look away after a glance, and said, "I’m going back."
He bent down to kiss his daughter and walked towards the door.
An Junxi followed behind him, "I’ll see you out."
Gu Yikun slled the fresh scent of her shower gel, suppressing the urge to embrace her. He stopped at the door and asked, "How’s everything at the company?"
An Junxi said, "It’s okay. I’m familiar with Si Yuan’s work, so I picked it up quickly."
The two seed to be able to communicate calmly now.
Gu Yikun asked another question, "Are you tired?"
Xiao Liu had told him she went to the supermarket every morning herself, which hurt him to hear.
She had two children to care for here, surely not as relaxed as at ho.
An Junxi really didn’t feel tired, "No, everything’s fine."
Gu Yikun couldn’t resist, long fingers lifting the strands of hair by her ear.
An Junxi stepped back, eyes showing so resistance.
The warmth in Gu Yikun’s heart was gradually drowned, the person who once relied on his embrace now resisted his touch.
He blad himself for pushing her away; he couldn’t bla anyone else.
Gu Yikun suddenly understood Gu Kuangyuan’s words.
His lack of trust had distanced them from each other.
He said, "I know you visited Qianlan at the hospital. If you want to visit again, I’ll have a driver take you, so you don’t have to fear running into my parents."
An Junxi stared at the wall, "Knowing she’s awake is enough. I won’t go. She isn’t happy to see ."
They always ended up arguing when she and Gu Qianlan saw each other. It was better not to et.
Gu Yikun said, "Not going is good too. Qianlan needs to see a psychologist."
An Junxi knew he was concerned about his sister, which left nothing more to say, "It’s late."
Urging him to leave.
Gu Yikun looked at her longingly, took a wedding ring from his pocket, grabbed her hand, and forced the ring back on her finger.
An Junxi wanted to pull her hand back, but Gu Yikun didn’t let go, "Xi Xi, maybe I didn’t make myself clear. I’ll say it again. Divorce is impossible. Your one-sided wish for a divorce won’t go through. I’m allowing you and the kids to stay here to give you space, not because I agree with you separating from . Whenever you want to co ho, I’ll co to pick you up."
An Junxi’s eyes felt hot, "Gu Yikun, it was you who talked about divorce first. When did it beco that I wanted it?"
Gu Yikun wanted to hold her, but An Junxi stepped back.
"Xi Xi, what can I do for you to forgive ? What I said that day was out of anger."
An Junxi said, "It’s late. You should go back."
Gu Yikun sighed silently, "The weather is cold now. Rember to wear an extra jacket when you go out."
He pushed open the door, and An Junxi imdiately locked it behind him.
Gu Yikun stood outside the door for a long ti before leaving. An Junxi returned to the room and tried to take off the ring, but it was surprisingly stubborn and wouldn’t co off.
Her finger was sowhat swollen. An Junxi didn’t bother with it anymore.
Gong Xiaoyu knew An Junxi had moved out with her children. She didn’t understand why the couple had to get to the point of separation.
"Jun Xi, are you sure this is fine? Parents living apart affects children a lot."
An Junxi rather enjoyed the current ease, "I feel much more relaxed away from the Gu Family. Even when I see my mother-in-law, I don’t have to ingratiate myself. I haven’t stopped him from seeing the children. Nanny He takes them back to see him two or three tis a week."
Gong Xiaoyu said, "You might as well go back. He’s still being considerate of you. If you insist on a divorce, the custody will definitely go to Gu Yikun, do you believe it?"
An Junxi was heartbroken, "Senior, are you helping or him?"
"I’m addressing the issue, not taking sides. Tell , if you really go through with the divorce, can you fight Gu Yikun? Will he give up custody? He’s letting you take the two kids out because he’s indulging you, letting you have your way."
An Junxi put down her work, "Senior, I find you’re siding with him."
Gong Xiaoyu handed the docunts to Lin Yuanqing, waiting for her to leave before saying, "I’m doing it for you. Think it over carefully and don’t let a mont’s anger drive your marriage to an irreversible point, hurting not just yourself but the two children too."
