Chapter 277: She is My Wife
Hearing Tyson’s words, Gu Yikun scanned the crowd in front of him, his eyes narrowed, and he stood up, "That’s my wife. Excuse me."
He Sirui saw how anxious Gu Yikun was and followed him. This woman is An Junxi?
She saw An Junxi surrounded by two men. Everyone who had been watching her was now looking at An Junxi, and her poised smile was almost falling apart.
She thought she had a good chance of winning, but compared to An Junxi, she felt a bit inferior.
Gu Yikun pushed through several people towards them and heard You Lihao say, "She is my date. Why shouldn’t I dance with her?"
Yin Feibai was unyielding, "You have ill intentions. I won’t let you get close to her."
"Yo, Young Master Yin sure likes to meddle in others’ business."
"Her affairs are never idle matters. I enjoy meddling."
Gu Yikun’s anger flared up. How did she come to the party without looking for him and instead got entangled with these two men? Did she think he was invisible?
He was right in the hall, and these two dared to court his wife. They really didn’t know their limits.
Gu Yikun’s face was icy. He pushed aside the person blocking his way, who was engrossed in watching beauties, and suddenly pushed aside, turned around and cursed, "Who dares... President Gu, please!" He quickly stepped aside.
Others saw President Gu coming and quickly made way. President Gu is a busy man who rarely meddles in trifles. What’s he doing here tonight?
An Junxi, surrounded by so many people, really felt like beating up the two idiots, Yin Feibai and You Lihao. She came to flaunt in front of He Sirui, not to embarrass herself. Their quarrel was making it hard for her to back out gracefully.
More and more people gathered around An Junxi. Not knowing how to escape, she suddenly saw a path open up in the crowd and met Gu Yikun’s angry eyes. She felt a bit timid.
He Sirui followed behind Gu Yikun and asked, "Yikun, is this your wife?"
Seeing He Sirui, An Junxi no longer felt any guilt. Why should she feel guilty? It was all because he brought that woman to the party. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come alone.
She lifted her head and met Gu Yikun’s eyes, the stubbornness in her gaze unchanged.
Gu Yikun’s eyes scanned her dress, a strapless gown accentuating her curves, her shoulders and arms revealing fair, sleek skin, and the hollow design at the chest slightly revealing a seductive cleavage... Seeing the men’s eyes wandering boldly over her body, he almost suffocated with anger.
Ignoring He Sirui, he went over and wrapped an arm around An Junxi’s slender waist, saying possessively, "I’ll take care of my wife. No need to trouble you two." His tone was full of declaration.
Yin Feibai and You Lihao saw Gu Yikun appear and naturally had no position to speak before him, finally stopping their quarrel.
The hall started buzzing: "So this is Mrs. Gu? So beautiful, no wonder President Gu is reluctant to bring her out for others to see?"
"Didn’t they say she had a child? She’s recovered really well!"
Those who had mocked that Mrs. Gu was too ugly to be brought out began to admire her upon seeing how nervous President Gu was about his wife.
Gu Yikun didn’t introduce Mrs. Gu to the attendees. He pulled An Junxi to a quiet corner, saying nothing as he took off his suit jacket to wrap her up.
An Junxi, seeing his silent and rough action of draping her with the jacket, stepped back uncooperatively, "What are you doing? Do I look ugly?"
Gu Yikun said, "You’re too beautiful. I don’t want others to see you."
Hearing this, An Junxi felt a bit comforted, "Then why didn’t you introduce me to everyone? Is that Miss He your date? Why didn’t you bring me?"
Gu Yikun said, "I came alone. She just happened to be without a date."
"Really that coincidental?"
Gu Yikun sensed the questioning tone and frowned, "What are you suspecting? Don’t let your imagination run wild."
An Junxi retorted angrily, "I’m not imagining things."
"How did you know about the party? If you wanted me to come home early, you could’ve called. Instead, you came out without a word and got entangled with Yin Feibai and them..."
Hearing his words, An Junxi said, "Are you blaming me? You’re always going out with He Sirui, leaving me alone at home with the child. What am I supposed to think?"
Seeing people always looking their way, Gu Yikun rubbed his temples and reached out to pull her, "Let’s talk when we get home."
An Junxi didn’t want to argue in public, "Fine, let’s go home first."
She tried to take off the obstructive jacket, but Gu Yikun’s hand on her shoulder tightened it more firmly around her.
An Jun stared at him, "The air conditioning isn’t even cold. You’ll ruin my outfit."
Gu Yikun pinched her cheek lightly, coolly saying, "Did you get your husband’s permission to wear this dress? I’m really not happy." Tonight had been a big loss.
An Junxi rolled her eyes, and as they walked to the door, someone came up to keep Gu Yikun, "President Gu, we still have media interviews later..."
"Reschedule. I need to take my wife home."
He Sirui had been looking forward to appearing in a magazine interview with Gu Yikun. Seeing him refuse the interview to take his wife home without hesitation, she irrationally approached, "Yikun, won’t you introduce me to your wife?"
Hearing He Sirui directly calling Gu Yikun by name and remembering he saved her number as "Si Rui" on his phone, An Junxi felt the need to confront her to understand the situation.
She stopped and introduced herself to He Sirui, "Hello, I’m An Junxi, also Mrs. Gu."
He Sirui shook hands with An Junxi and handed her a business card, "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Gu. My name is He. Here’s my card."
An Junxi politely took it, "The daughter of a jewelry family and chief designer—I’ve heard of Miss He’s reputation. It’s an honor to meet you here."
An Junxi’s words were polite, leaving He Sirui a bit uncomfortable. She said, "I’ve known Yikun for a long time. It’s my first time seeing his wife since he got married. The honor is mine."
Her words and tone implied an extraordinarily close relationship with Gu Yikun.
An Junxi sensed her provocative intent and became more certain that it wasn’t her imagination—He Sirui indeed had designs on Yikun.
No matter how long she’s known Yikun, An Junxi is now his wife. If He Sirui still harbored fantasies about Yikun, it was an issue of her morals.
An Junxi said, "I don’t usually go out much, so many people haven’t seen Mrs. Gu. Yikun, you ought to have introduced Miss He to me earlier, given how long you’ve known each other."
Seeing her aggrieved tone, Gu Yikun scratched her chin with his finger, "Not necessarily. Minor issue."
His affectionate gesture caused He Sirui to struggle to maintain her smile. Hearing President Gu say "Not necessarily," she started feeling awkward.
He lumped her with other women, finding introductions unnecessary?
