Chapter 299: Let’s Do It Tonight
Gu Yikun had been investigating the events of the past. To avoid causing her unpleasant memories, he hadn’t told her about it.
He wanted her to be happy every day, not be troubled by these things.
Second Uncle definitely had other accomplices; currently, the only one he could be certain about was Liu Guanquan.
When An Junxi thought about that memory, she couldn’t sleep. She sat beside him, "When I told you about the divorce, the only people present were you, me, mom, dad, and Qian Nuan. There were no other outsiders, and I had checked that I didn’t have any bugs on me. I don’t know how Gu Kuangxia found out; it’s really horrifying."
Seeing her distressed expression, Gu Yikun couldn’t bear to let her recall those days. "I will clear up this doubt. Don’t think about it anymore."
An Junxi speculated, "Actually, I think there’s something wrong with the Liu Family. When I came back to Yan City, Liu Zhiwen looked at me as if she had seen a ghost. She definitely thought I was already..." dead.
Gu Yikun silenced her with his lips; his hands trembled slightly. "Don’t say that word." He feared that word would become relevant to her; he wanted her to live well.
An Junxi leaned against his chest, "At that time, I thought my chances were slim, but Gu Kuangxia’s men didn’t strike and even let us go. We didn’t know that Gu Kuangxia was dead and didn’t dare to return to Yan City."
Now, Gu Yikun was very grateful that those men didn’t strike. He said, "With Second Uncle gone, they no longer have a reason to act ruthlessly, which makes it easier for their tracks to be exposed."
An Junxi asked, "Is there really something wrong with the Liu Family? If there is, Liu Zhiwen has been ingratiating herself with Qian Nuan for years; she must have an ulterior motive."
She knew that Liu Zhiwen was now desperate, frantically asking people to intercede, fearing her retaliation, living each day in fear.
She had not taken action immediately, wanting Liu Zhiwen to feel the same fear of impending disaster that she had endured while being monitored by Gu Kuangxia, a mental torture that nearly broke her.
Gu Yikun said, "Liu Guanquan’s ambition is not small. The Liu Family has no real power; he mingles within the circles of the wealthy, adept at playing both sides to gain benefits. Without the backing of the Senye Group, the Liu Family would have collapsed long ago. Second Uncle knew Seventh Uncle was critically ill and feared a significant change in Gu Family’s shares, so he anxiously returned to the country, collaborating with him. If I’m correct, Liu Guanquan helped him return also aiming for Gu Family’s shares."
An Junxi asked, "Did you find any evidence?"
"Liu Guanquan invested in a casino in Las Vegas. I have some evidence on hand. Even without it, I want the Liu Family to disappear from now on, and there are plenty of people willing to act for me." He just wanted to ensure there were no loose ends before catching them all at once, letting them live a few more days.
An Junxi saw the fierceness in Gu Yikun’s eyes and shrank back, "Yikun, you’re scaring me like this."
Gu Yikun’s expression instantly softened, "I’m your husband, why be afraid of me."
An Junxi wrapped her arms around his neck, her kiss landed on his sensual lips, "Husband, you are so good." In front of her, he had no temper at all.
With her in his arms, Gu Yikun’s thoughts were already wandering. Now, as she kissed him, his hand subconsciously moved to the back of her head, his tongue lightly parting her lips to taste more of her sweetness. His other hand roamed over her sensitive spots.
An Junxi’s face flushed red. She pushed him away just in time, "Let’s go to sleep now."
Gu Yikun felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. He held her painfully, "Xi Xi, you ignited this fire, are you not responsible? Don’t believe me, just feel it." He grabbed her hand to touch his fervent desire.
An Junxi dared not touch it with her hand, breaking into a cold sweat, "No, Yikun, I’m tired."
Gu Yikun laid her down on the bed, "Just once, alright?"
An Junxi didn’t believe him, "You lie to me every time."
Gu Yikun pressed his lower body against her, panting, "Xi Xi, aren’t you afraid you’ll smother me?"
His urgency made An Junxi uncomfortable. She adjusted her stance, and Gu Yikun, unable to bear her teasing, pulled down her nightgown, "Wife, just once tonight."
His hands roamed all over her body; An Junxi’s body softened. She panted, "Then turn off the lights."
Gu Yikun cooperatively turned off the lights, and the room fell into darkness. An Junxi bit his shoulder, afraid she might scream out.
The next day, An Junxi was awakened by the alarm clock. She rubbed her eyes; had it already been morning? She felt she had just closed her eyes not long ago.
Men’s words in bed couldn’t be trusted. He had said only once but ended up exhausting her until early morning. She almost fainted from his demands.
An Junxi covered her face with the blanket, hoping there were no hickeys on her neck; otherwise, she didn’t know how she’d face people!
Gu Yikun turned off the alarm for her, "Sleep a little longer."
"No," An Junxi forced herself to get up, "Jin Xiu is coming back today; I can’t stay in bed." They were living with their elders now and couldn’t be too indulgent.
Gu Yikun also got up, "When we move back to our own place, you don’t have to worry so much."
An Junxi said, "Mom and Dad want to see Ai Xi every day. Let’s discuss it later."
Gu Yikun carried her to the bathroom, "As you say."
Uncle Cheng was driving the little young master home. In the car, Gu Jinxiu couldn’t sit still. He hadn’t seen his mommy and sister for a long time. After studying for so long, he finally could go home!
Uncle Cheng saw how happy the little young master was, "Little Young Master, was training camp okay?"
Gu Jinxiu said, "The classmates I study with are so childish, always looking for their moms. Uncle Cheng, isn’t that annoying?"
Uncle Cheng laughed, "They are not as independent as our Little Young Master."
Our Little Young Master was just over nine years old. Because he had no mom since childhood, and the master seldom paid attention, he was much more independent than other children.
Since the Young Madam married in, the Little Young Master finally exhibited some childhood innocence.
Gu Jinxiu said, "Actually, I miss Mommy too, but I can’t let people know." He was a little man, and a little man couldn’t have weaknesses.
Uncle Cheng laughed heartily, "Young Madam said she would make something delicious for you; you’ll be able to eat it once you get home."
Gu Jinxiu started to drool. He liked eating what Mommy cooked the most.
When the car arrived at the intersection, two cars suddenly emerged from the side street, blocking their path. Uncle Cheng promptly hit the brakes, "Young Master, be careful!"
Gu Jinxiu quickly ducked onto the seat; he had encountered this scenario many times before and wasn’t scared at all.
Uncle Cheng reached under the seat to grab a handgun. Despite his graying hair making him look like a retired old man, he had been a tough character in his younger years and still handled these sudden situations smoothly.
He had just grabbed the gun and upon seeing the cars’ license plates, he put the gun back and made a phone call, "Master, the Yin Family has sent people again to fetch the little young master."
Since the Yin Family’s old madam returned to the country, she regularly sent people to bring him back. Uncle Cheng had blocked them every time, ensuring they never got close. The CEO didn’t like the young master associating with the Yin Family.
