CHAPTER 170: CHAPTER 170: MR. GU’S SELF-CONTROL IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE

An Junxi felt his body temperature rise and his breathing become heavier. Blushing, she sat to the side. Mr. Gu’s self-control was getting worse; she couldn’t provoke him.

Gu Yikun took over the computer and watched it for a while before getting up to change her wound dressing.

He had never done this before, but he had learned a lot about taking care of someone during this period, paying more attention to details than a caregiver.

Sister He gaped at the scene and secretly told An Junxi, "Young Master really loves you. He has never taken care of anyone like this before; you are the first."

Jun Xi could also see Yikun’s meticulous care for her. His kindness made her feel guilty, as if marrying him added nothing but trouble.

Gu Yikun noticed her mood was off and took a while to find out what she was thinking.

He didn’t know what to do with her, couldn’t bear to scold or hit her, so he patiently explained, "Xi Xi, I don’t think you’re a bother. I used to focus solely on work, but now I know having someone to protect and care for is very fulfilling. If you keep thinking like this, I’ll really get angry."

An Junxi took the initiative to hug him, "Yikun, I love you."

Her hugs always calmed him down. He ruffled her hair, "Xiao Yang said your wound is healing fast. In a few days, you’ll be discharged, and I’ll take you out for a stroll so you won’t overthink things."

"Alright, but Jin Xiu will be going to the United States. I can’t see him off." The scab had fallen off her face wound, leaving a faint red mark. Xiao Yang said it would fade with ointment, and she hoped to be discharged soon.

"If you want to see him, we can visit the United States after going to Argentina."

"Alright, you promised me, so you have to do it."

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Yin Feibai came to the hospital and, seeing the two of them being lovey-dovey, uncomfortably knocked on the door, "Can you two cuddle with the door closed?"

An Junxi let go of Gu Yikun, surprised to see Gu Qianlan also came with Yin Feibai, "Two busy people, how come you’re here together today?"

Gu Yikun was not at all welcoming, "Young Master Yin seems very free during work hours."

Yin Feibai sat down and poured himself a glass of water, "That’s because you, President Gu, aren’t at work, so I had to come personally."

Gu Qianlan glared at An Junxi, then hugged her brother’s arm, acting spoiled, "Brother, accompany me shopping this afternoon."

Gu Yikun refused outright, "My time belongs to your sister-in-law."

Gu Qianlan stomped her foot, "Why do you all only care about her? It’s not fair!"

Gu Yikun helplessly said, "Qian Nuan, you’re not a kid anymore. You’ll be getting married in a few years. Stop making me upset."

Gu Qianlan glanced at Yin Feibai, "I don’t want to get married."

Yin Feibai pretended not to hear her and asked An Junxi, "Is your wound better?"

"Much better," An Junxi smiled, "I should be discharged soon."

"That’s good," Yin Feibai said, glancing at the fruit basket on the table, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "I rushed over and didn’t bring you a gift. What do you like?"

Gu Yikun, unhappy with Yin Feibai’s blatant inquiry about his wife’s preferences, said, "No need to bring anything. Whatever my wife likes, I’ll buy."

An Junxi, seeing Gu Yikun’s inexplicable jealousy, tugged on his sleeve.

Yin Feibai persisted, "This is my sincerity. Junxi, what do you like?"

Gu Qianlan stood up, "She likes everything, easily accepting gifts from others. How impolite!"

At her words, both Gu Yikun and Yin Feibai’s faces darkened. "Gu Qianlan!"

Gu Qianlan said aggrievedly, "It’s true! It’s just a hospital stay; does she need so many people around her? Besides, who knows what kind of unsavory people she provoked outside to end up being..."

Gu Yikun’s gaze turned stern, and he shouted, "Gu Qianlan! You’re getting more and more out of line!"

An Junxi was startled by Gu Yikun’s anger. His intimidating rage scared her, and she wanted to pull his sleeve but didn’t dare.

Gu Qianlan couldn’t believe her brother would yell at her like this, making her lose face in front of Brother Yin.

Holding onto her clothes, she saw An Junxi staring at her, fueling her resentment.

Always pretending to be pitiful to gain her brother’s sympathy, what a hypocritical and disgusting woman!

Gu Yikun said, "Apologize to your sister-in-law."

Gu Qianlan couldn’t believe it, "Why should I apologize to her!"

"Because she’s your sister-in-law, and you need to respect her."

Gu Qianlan turned her head away, "I don’t want to."

Yin Feibai also frowned, "Qian Nuan, what you said earlier was indeed too much. You should apologize."

Enraged, Gu Qianlan wanted to throw water at An Junxi, "You’re all too much! Always thinking of her, Brother, you’ve changed. I hate you!"

Grabbing her bag, she ran out.

An Junxi quickly pushed Gu Yikun, "Go after her."

Gu Yikun had no intention of going out, "Leave her be. She’s been spoiled since childhood, so unruly."

An Junxi turned to Yin Feibai, "Why don’t you go check on her? She’s young and has a childish temper."

Yin Feibai was also reluctant, "If I go out now, she’ll only become more demanding in the future."

Gu Qianlan ran out crying, seeing no one chasing after her. Angry, she threw her bag against the wall, "An Junxi, you vicious woman, I won’t let you stay in our family!"

She called Liu Zhiwen, "Zhi Wen, come pick me up from the hospital."

A while later, in the car, Gu Qianlan cried and recounted everything, using up a box of tissues, "Tell me, isn’t that woman awful?"

While driving, Liu Zhiwen tried to comfort her, "Your brother has a wife now, and it’s impossible for him to always treat only you well. Let it go."

"Let it go? Can it be let go so easily? I won’t let it slide that way. Watch, I’ll definitely drive that woman out of the Gu Family!"

Liu Zhiwen worriedly said, "Don’t act impulsively. If Brother Gu gets really angry, not even your parents can calm him down."

Ignoring her friend’s advice, Gu Qianlan began scheming something.

Because of Gu Qianlan’s words, Gu Yikun remained upset. After Yin Feibai left, An Junxi coaxed him, "I didn’t take Qian Nuan’s words to heart. You shouldn’t get angry with her."

Gu Yikun held her on his lap, "How can I let you be wronged? I’ll send her back to school as soon as the semester starts in the United States."

Playing with his fingers, An Junxi said, "She might not be used to me yet."

Gu Yikun cupped her face, "Once they return to the United States, we’ll move back to the villa. You can be as happy as you want without worrying about so many people."

An Junxi then realized they had been living in the old mansion for a long time. She also wanted to move back since it was where they started their life together.
