CHAPTER 259: CHAPTER 259: HAS SHE GAINED ANOTHER ENEMY?

Gu Yikun pinched her nose. "I’m afraid you’ll miss me at home, so I wanted to come back quickly."

An Junxi hung up his coat and tie. "Got it, it’s all for me."

"As long as you understand."

An Junxi said, "Dad and Mom are here, they’re upstairs watching the baby."

Gu Yikun took her hand and walked inside. "I saw their car in the parking lot. Did Mom say anything to you?"

Seeing his anxious expression, An Junxi whispered, "Why are you always wary of Mom? She wouldn’t be happy if she knew."

Gu Yikun hugged her waist and kissed her cheek. "I’m afraid she’ll bully you and make you feel wronged." She had left him two years ago, saying she didn’t want to keep pleasing his mother and couldn’t stand their attitude anymore. Only she knew how painful it was at that time.

Now that she’s back, he believes that what she said wasn’t just out of anger. He hadn’t handled things well before, letting her endure a lot of his mother’s cold words.

He didn’t want her to be disappointed in him for any reason and didn’t want to experience the pain of losing her again.

An Junxi tugged his earlobe. "I won’t be wronged." Maybe she had said things too harshly before, and Yikun still remembered them.

She stood on tiptoe and guiltily kissed his lips. Gu Yikun’s hand held the back of her head, wanting to deepen the kiss.

Her taking the initiative to kiss him was a rare blessing he couldn’t miss.

Mrs. He coughed behind them. "Young Master, Young Madam, dinner is ready."

An Junxi hurriedly pushed Gu Yikun away and walked quickly to the dining room. "Okay."

Seeing her distance herself from him again, Gu Yikun’s face darkened, and he said to Mrs. He, "Can’t we have dinner a bit later? No one’s in a rush."

Mrs. He quickly retreated to the kitchen. The Young Master was very upset; the consequences would be serious!

Gu Kuangyong and Liang Huiyun came downstairs. Liang Huiyun whispered, "In just a few days, Aixi’s face has grown more defined and she looks more and more like Yikun."

Gu Kuangyong snorted coldly, "Did you have to go through all that trouble back then..."

Liang Huiyun nudged him lightly. It’s been so long, yet he still brings up the DNA test ordeal. When will he let it go?

Seeing his son present, Gu Kuangyong swallowed his words and didn’t bring up the paternity test again.

When he first learned about the test done by Liang Huiyun, he thought it was utterly absurd and unreasonable. He had angrily condemned her for a few days.

An Junxi invited them to sit down. The family hadn’t had a meal together like this for a long time.

The atmosphere during dinner was fairly harmonious. Gu Yikun kept adding food to her plate, ignoring her subtle signals to take it easy. Gu Yikun said, "Eat more, you’re still too thin."

Gu Kuangyong also said, "Jun Xi, health is fundamental. Have you been following the doctor’s advice on your regimen?"

An Junxi replied, "Yes, Mrs. He often makes nourishing soups for me."

"That’s good."

After dinner, Gu Aixi woke up. The two elders played with her in the living room, and An Junxi couldn’t get a word in. Liang Huiyun said, "You two go rest. We’ll watch Aixi."

Seeing that Aixi was a bit reluctant to be with her grandparents, An Junxi couldn’t stop the elders from spending time with the child. She told her daughter, "Go play with Grandpa and Grandma, Grandpa will buy you pretty dresses."

Gu Aixi pointed at her dress, "Pretty."

Liang Huiyun laughed, "Aixi looks good in anything."

In hopes of getting new dresses and toys, Gu Aixi became less resistant to her grandparents. Once An Junxi was sure she wouldn’t cry, she went upstairs with Gu Yikun.

Gu Jinxiu approached her. "Mommy, I need to talk to you."

An Junxi followed him into the room. Gu Jinxiu cautiously closed the door. "What’s so secretive?"

Gu Jinxiu took out a laptop. "Mommy, I just found this information. You need to know your enemy to defeat them, understand?"

Amused, An Junxi said, "Since when do I have an enemy? How come I don’t know about it?"

She looked at the webpage, which was all about a woman, the daughter of a jewelry tycoon, He Sirui.

She browsed through a few photos. "This is the woman who was in Daddy’s office today, right?"

The woman was indeed beautiful, her features more striking than most oriental women, with a mixed European look.

Upon glancing at her basic information, it turned out she was of mixed descent, with French ancestry among four different nationalities. Such features were unforgettable and the type most men would like.

Unable to resist, An Junxi read more about Zhou Sirui. The heiress of the He Group, she had earned two master’s degrees in the United States and was also a jewelry designer, adept at managing businesses.

He Sirui had just returned to China after studying abroad, and the internet was full of praise for her, with seemingly no flaws.

An Junxi asked Gu Jinxiu, "Why do you want me to keep an eye on her? Is your dad treating her well?"

Gu Jinxiu, stroking his chin, said, "Dad has known her for a long time. I think he treats her differently. Mommy, has Dad ever mentioned her to you?"

An Junxi shook her head. She knew most of Gu Yikun’s close friends but had never heard of this Zhou Sirui.

Gu Jinxiu patted his chest confidently. "I’ll keep an eye on her for you. No one can take Daddy away!"

An Junxi poked his forehead. "Your dad just met with a business partner, it’s perfectly normal. There’s no conspiracy, you’re overthinking." What a little devil.

Gu Jinxiu closed the laptop. "Mommy, you’re not thinking enough. That woman even spoke good things about Liu Zhiwen, I don’t think she’s a good person."

"She spoke well of Liu Zhiwen?"

"Yes, auntie asked her to. Mommy, what auntie did was wrong, please don’t blame her."

Now An Junxi really had to be cautious. Anything involving Gu Qianlan was never good. Gu Qianlan had never liked her and who knew what trouble this spoiled heiress could stir up.

She told Gu Jinxiu, "Then you be responsible for keeping an eye on things for me, can you do that?"

Feeling a great sense of responsibility, Gu Jinxiu said, "I will!"

At night in the bedroom, while An Junxi applied body lotion at the vanity, Gu Yikun was on the sofa using his laptop. She casually asked, "Yikun, was it busy at the company today?"

Gu Yikun glanced at her. "Not bad," then continued to look at his laptop.

For some reason, An Junxi felt that Gu Yikun was a bit distant from her.

She told herself not to overthink and continued to ask, "Is there a new project at the company? Did you meet any new partners today?"

This time, Gu Yikun didn’t even look up. He typed a few words on his laptop before replying after a while, "Today’s just meetings; the new project is still under discussion."

Feeling he was being perfunctory, An Junxi felt a bit stifled. She took a few sips of water when Mrs. He came in holding Aixi. "Jun Xi, Aixi wants Mommy."

An Junxi took the child into her arms. Just then, Gu Yikun’s phone rang on the table. An Junxi glanced at it, and the contact said "Sirui."
