Chapter 63 - 63: Gu Jinxiu''s New Mom

    Yin Feibai heard the cold tone in An Junxi''s voice and knew he had offended her. He sighed deeply; he, Yin Feibai, had always had women throwing themselves at him, never had he been rejected like this.

    He said, "I heard from my cousin that the photos in your camera are very important. It''s fine if you don''t come to get it."

    An Junxi was so angry she cursed, "Yin Feibai, do you find this fun!"

    Before she could finish her rant, a large hand reached out and took her phone. She looked at Gu Yikun, only to hear him say, "Yin Feibai, I''ll personally go to Senye Group at noon to get her things, and we''ll also have a good talk about your financing issues."

    After a while, Yin Feibai sarcastically replied, "So now President Gu is starting his second spring? My sister was blind the year she married you!"

    "If it weren''t for your efforts at that time, our families couldn''t have formed this alliance. I thought Young Master Yin was very satisfied with this outcome."

    An Junxi heard them discussing such severe matters, she silently held Gu Jinxiu''s little hand and whispered in his ear, "Adults often say things in anger, don''t take it to heart."

    Gu Jinxiu nodded. It wasn''t the first time he heard adults talk about these things. He had also heard worse from the old servant, so he didn''t feel much emotions.

    An Junxi felt a bit heartbroken for the child.

    Gu Yikun hung up the phone and told her, "I''ll go get the camera."

    An Junxi took over the phone, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Gu." She thought, he should be just picking it up for her since he''s passing by.

    She reminded herself not to overthink.

    Gu Yikun''s mood wasn''t affected by Yin Feibai''s call; he opened his tablet and started reading emails.

    An Junxi considered Jin Xiu''s feelings, talking softly to him on the way, asking about school matters.

    At first, Gu Jinxiu was worried that their conversation in the car would disturb his father. He occasionally peeked to see if Gu Yikun showed any signs of irritation. Seeing his father was unbothered, he started responding to An Junxi''s questions eagerly, and whispered to her, "This is the second time Dad has taken me to school."

    An Junxi, seeing his joyful expression, asked in surprise, "When was the first time?"

    "It was on the first day of school."

    An Junxi gave Gu Yikun a contemptuous look, but he was focused on the tablet, completely ignoring her.

    An Junxi rolled her eyes at him several times. Seeing Gu Jinxiu was genuinely happy, she didn''t want to ruin the mood and continued chatting with him.

    When they arrived at school, she and Gu Yikun got out of the car and escorted Gu Jinxiu to the school gate.

    There were quite a few luxury cars parked at the entrance, after all, families whose children attended international schools were relatively affluent. Among all the cars, President Gu''s car was particularly eye-catching. An Junxi felt that as soon as the three of them got out of the car, they were met with unusual stares from everyone.

    An Junxi felt a bit uncomfortable; after all, Gu Yikun was tall, handsome, and naturally exuded noble elegance. Gu Jinxiu was also cool and cute. She, however, felt rather inferior.

    She comforted herself, telling herself it didn''t matter as such occasions were rare.

    A teacher was welcoming students at the gate, surprised to see President Gu personally escorting his child to school, they greeted him enthusiastically, "President Gu, it''s great to see you taking time out of your busy schedule to bring your child to school. You''re a great dad." Usually, they rarely had the chance to meet President Gu, so seeing him flattered them; naturally, they wanted to leave a good impression.

    Gu Yikun rarely bothered with formalities, so he responded simply to the teacher''s warm greeting.

    The teacher smiled awkwardly.

    An Junxi tried to liven up the mood and greeted the teacher with a good morning.

    The teacher glanced up and down at An Junxi, though curious about her identity, dared not ask much about President Gu''s family matters. Seeing other children arriving, she politely said goodbye to Gu Yikun and returned to the gate to welcome the kids.

    Gu Jinxiu met a few classmates at the entrance; they exchanged morning greetings before he introduced Gu Yikun and An Junxi to them.

    The kids had seen Gu Yikun at the June 1st party, and couldn''t help but say, "Your dad is really handsome!" One of the girls asked him, "Is this lady your dad''s girlfriend? Jinxiu, are you going to have a new mom?"

    An Junxi broke into a cold sweat. She looked at Gu Yikun, who remained composed, standing calmly without any special reaction to the girl''s words, as if he hadn''t heard or didn''t care.

    An Junxi withdrew her gaze, feeling embarrassed. Gu Yikun was so calm, yet she reacted as if she had heard something shocking—so embarrassing!

    She tried to act indifferent, joking with the little girl, "No, I''m not even eighteen yet, can''t date or marry." Her words drew synchronized disdain from Gu father and son.

    An Junxi felt like hitting something.

    Gu Yikun looked away, with a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

    An Junxi said goodbye to Gu Jinxiu, watching him go through the door before she got in the car with Gu Yikun.

    As the car drove away, Gu Jinxiu turned to watch it go, starting to ponder: Sister Jun Xi becoming his new mom? It didn''t seem so bad!

    Why hadn''t he thought of that before!

    Thinking of this, Gu Jinxiu confidently patted the shoulder of the little girl next to him, saying, "He Yiqing, you reminded me of something very important. I can give you a gift, what would you like?"

    The little girl frowned, "But I don''t want anything."

    "No," Gu Jinxiu said domineeringly, "You have to think of a gift, I''ll buy it for you tomorrow."

    The little girl reluctantly said, "Okay, I''ll think about it."

    Young Master Gu was finally satisfied, "Hmm, very good."

    As the car approached the company, An Junxi started organizing her belongings, afraid of forgetting something and getting criticized by President Gu. She told Xiao Liu, "You can drop me off at the next street corner."

    Xiao Liu was about to say okay when Gu Yikun instructed, "Take her directly to her company."

    An Junxi reacted strongly, "No!"

    Xiao Liu naturally listened to the President. He stepped on the gas, turning onto Second Crossroad.

    An Junxi panicked, "Oh no, what if someone sees us?"

    Gu Yikun nonchalantly replied, "It''s not like we''re having an affair. What are you afraid of?"

    An Junxi glared at him fiercely, "President Gu doesn''t know how hurtful gossip can be?"

    Gu Yikun ignored her, as the car stopped at her company''s entrance. He seriously looked outside, as if searching for someone.

    Curious, An Junxi leaned closer to look too, "Mr. Gu, are you meeting someone?" There was nothing special outside!

    Gu Yikun turned his head, his attractive thin lips brushed against An Junxi''s forehead.

    An Junxi froze, feeling the lingering warmth of Gu Yikun''s lips on her forehead, almost tickling.

    What was going on!

    An Junxi''s blood rushed to her head, her face turning bright red. She made a big move to get off the car, grabbing her things, forgetting she hadn''t opened the car door, and her forehead hit the window hard.
