CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 430: NOT PETTY WITH YOU

Gu Yikun knew that An Junxi was deliberately acting cute, but he still asked the servant to bring hot water for her to soak her feet.

An Junxi didn’t dare to let him help her wash up. Even if he was to help, it would be in the room and not in the hall where the servants could see.

The day after tomorrow is Ai Xi’s birthday party. An Junxi really didn’t need to do anything, just wait for Uncle Wei to arrange everything, and then confirm the guest list, the menu, the gifts for the guests, etc.

An Junxi thought, although the villa is big, fortunately, there are many workers. Otherwise, it would really be exhausting.

When Gu Jinxiu came back from school, An Junxi was on the second floor with the two children. Ai Xi no longer liked sticking to her but instead clung to her brother. She always asked her brother many strange questions that Gu Jinxiu, despite being smart, couldn’t answer.

An Junxi noticed that Jinxiu was almost spoiling his sister excessively. Even as he was doing homework, he would earnestly answer any of her nonsensical questions.

An Junxi said, "Baby, don’t bother your brother doing his homework. Come play puzzles with mom."

The little baby asked, "Mommy, why does brother have to do homework?"

"Because your brother has to go to school, and going to school means doing homework."

"Baby wants to go to school with brother."

"Baby is still small, and can’t go to school yet."

"Why?"

"The school is for big kids. Baby needs to eat more and grow taller to go to school."

An Junxi thought, now the kids are eager to go to school. When they really have to, won’t they be crying all day?

An Junxi played with the kids until after nine. The kids slept early, so Gu Yikun came down to put his daughter to sleep.

Ai Xi only fell asleep after listening to her father read two stories. An Junxi went to Gu Jinxiu’s room to have a heart-to-heart talk with him: "Many guests have been invited to your sister’s birthday party. Your grandparents and uncle will be here too, and if they say anything to you..."

Gu Jinxiu said, "Mom, I won’t let Grandma bully you."

An Junxi was touched. Jinxiu was so young but already knew to protect his mother.

Jinxiu wasn’t her biological child, but it was because of him that she met Gu Yikun. If not for that, how would an ordinary girl like her ever have intersected with the Gu family president?

An Junxi thought, maybe this is destiny.

An Junxi said, "Jinxiu, Mom knows you’re a sensible child. If you hear any gossip in the future, don’t keep it to yourself. You can always talk to Mom, okay?"

"Got it, I will."

"Good, now go to sleep early."

Gu Jinxiu climbed into bed. An Junxi tucked him in, "Good night."

She left the room and passed by the children’s room, seeing that Gu Yikun was still inside.

Ai Xi was already asleep, and Gu Yikun gently withdrew his hand from her small one and quietly left the room.

Xiao Luo and two servants would take turns watching the children. Sometimes, Gu Yikun would also come down at night to check. The children were still young, and he was not comfortable leaving them entirely to others.

An Junxi and Gu Yikun returned to the master bedroom. She went to the bathroom first to take a shower. Gu Yikun placed his phone on her dressing table and, seeing her bag nearby, hesitantly opened it.

What he found was indeed out of the ordinary.

Gu Yikun took out a recorder, pressed the play button, and heard the voices of An Junxi and Yin Feibai.

He listened calmly. When Yin Feibai said "I like you" to An Junxi, his eyes filled with a murderous intent.

Yin Feibai, how dare you covet my wife, Gu Yikun’s wife?

His knuckles whitened, but he continued to listen, only to hear Jiang Liu’s sarcastic remarks.

His little wife retorted back, not letting Jiang Liu get any advantage, though it still left him unhappy.

Jiang Liu had touched his bottom line this time.

Gu Yikun wondered, if he hadn’t discovered this recording, would she not have told him about these things?

He put the recorder back in her bag and sat on the sofa. After her shower, An Junxi nestled in bed, applying body lotion while calling to him: "Hubby, aren’t you going to shower?"

"Yes, I’ll go now."

Putting down her moisturizer, An Junxi attentively ran the bathwater and fetched his pajamas. "You can go shower now."

Gu Yikun walked into the bathroom. Seeing his sour expression, An Junxi rested her head on her hands, puzzled. She had been so attentive, why was he still upset?

Are men really that petty about these things?

When Gu Yikun finished his shower, An Junxi scooted over in bed, making room for him.

An Junxi laid on his chest and said, "Hubby, I won’t meet Yin Feibai alone again, okay?"

Gu Yikun wrapped his arm around her waist. "What did you talk about?"

An Junxi replied, "Just about Jinxiu. I told them not to bother Jinxiu anymore. Jinxiu doesn’t like interacting with Grandpa and Grandma."

"What else?"

She didn’t dare mention Yin Feibai’s words. If her husband knew, he would be even angrier.

She said, "Nothing else."

"Really nothing else?"

An Junxi guiltily looked down, "Nothing else."

"Okay," Gu Yikun reached to turn off the light. "Sleep."

An Junxi asked again, "You’re not mad, right?"

"No, not mad."

An Junxi pouted, "Liar, you didn’t even kiss me." He kissed her every night before sleep; it was a fixed routine.

Gu Yikun gave her a quick peck on the forehead, ruffling her hair. "Sleep."

His little wife hadn’t told him the truth, but the recording clearly showed she loved only her husband. Magnanimously, Gu Yikun decided to let it go this time.

As for Yin Feibai... he’d deal with him in a few days.

On the day of the Gu family’s little princess’s birthday, the villa was bustling. This was the first time the villa hosted a party. Both its design and investment were a massive project, making it a mysterious place to outsiders. Many media outlets had wanted to tour and report on the villa’s interior, but Gu Yikun always refused.

This time, for the little princess’s birthday, President Gu hosted guests at the villa. Those who received invites all thought how much President Gu must dote on his little daughter.

In the evening, guests started arriving one after another. An Junxi began her grooming and preparations two hours ahead.

The little one didn’t understand what a birthday was. She saw many people coming to the house and ran to her mom’s room saying, "Mommy, so many uncles and aunties!"

An Junxi said, "They are all here to play with Ai Xi. Later, Mommy and Ai Xi will go down together. Remember to smile and greet everyone, okay?"

Little Ai Xi was skilled at this; she said, "Okay!"

She liked crowds and excitement!

The makeup artist put the little princess in a gown. Gu Jinxiu came down from upstairs, tugging at his little tie, asking, "Mommy, do I look handsome?"

An Junxi glanced at him, "Very handsome. Jinxiu, go wait at the door. He Yiqing should be arriving soon. As a gentleman, it’s a basic requirement to greet the lady at the door."

Gu Jinxiu felt a bit nervous, pretending to be nonchalant. "Does He Yiqing really need me to greet her?"
