Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO

Chapter 56: Chapter 56 She Lives at the Gu Family

Yin Feibai quickly vanished after making that provocative remark, otherwise, the words of scolding from An Junxi would be overheard by Gu Yikun, which would ruin his plans.

An Junxi certainly would scold him, and she would do it harshly, "Yin Feibai, you pervert, if you dare to come in, I’ll cripple you!"

Fortunately, Yin Feibai, who enjoyed sports, ran fast enough that Gu Yikun didn’t hear a single word from the other end of the call. Breathless, he said, "I need to get busy now, don’t call again if you know what’s good for you. Disturbing someone’s good time is a really despicable act."

Gu Yikun couldn’t be more aware of what Yin Feibai meant by "good time." He shouted furiously into the phone, "An Junxi, you’d better get back here immediately, or you’ll see how I’ll deal with you!"

However, only a busy tone came from the other end.

Gu Yikun took a deep breath and dialed again, but the prompt indicated that the phone had been turned off.

He paced irritably in his office, feeling fury wreaking havoc inside him, unable to find an outlet for his anger. He smashed his phone hard on the floor and still unsatisfied, swept all the documents off his desk.

Gu Yikun propped his hands on the desk, his thin lips pressed into a tight line. After a moment, he dialed the internal line and instructed Zha Zhuoxin, "Get the IT department to check the call records immediately and find out where An Junxi is."

Zha Zhuoxin nervously reminded the president, "Boss, the IT department needs at least an hour, and tonight’s charity gala..."

"Cancel it!" He had no mood to attend any gala, and he had intended to ask An Junxi to accompany him, never expecting she’d be busy messing around with another man at this time.

Gu Yikun found himself a reasonable excuse in his rage and calmed down a bit. Yes, An Junxi was hired as his tutor, she should be attending the evening gala as per his arrangements during working hours, instead of being snatched away by Yin Feibai, his rival. So he had every right to be angry.

In this situation, he certainly could be angry; it was completely justified.

The more President Gu thought, the more reasonable it seemed, thus the most crucial thing now wasn’t the gala but to pursue An Junxi for skipping work, hanging out, and refusing to answer calls, which was absolutely unforgivable!

President Gu found a reason for himself and felt slightly better. Otherwise, as the dignified president of the Gu Group, he couldn’t easily lose his mind because of a mere woman, how would that look if word spread?

Zha Zhuoxin said, "President, from what I know, Young Master Yin will also attend the charity gala tonight to secure financing for Senye. He might bring Miss An along..." He dared not continue.

Gu Yikun’s face turned icy. He glanced at the time, there were still three hours until the gala started.

"Get the car ready."

Zha Zhuoxin breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, President!" Silently he prayed for An Junxi, Miss An, best of luck tonight!

Gu Yikun walked into his private resting room, opened a bottle of red wine and took a few gulps directly from it, mumbling, "An Junxi, you’d better not let me see you attending with Yin Feibai tonight."

Yin Feibai, laughing, collapsed on the sofa, imagining Gu Yikun’s furious appearance, it was truly exhilarating!

He turned off An Junxi’s phone and began to ponder, what’s exactly between An Junxi and Gu Yikun that makes Gu so agitated?

He thought about it and called Liu Zhiwen, "Cousin, who is An Junxi, what work does she do, where does she live?"

Liu Zhiwen, baffled by her cousin’s questions, replied, "Cousin, are you checking her household registration?"

"Just tell me first."

"Cousin, it’s not that I’m withholding information, I only know Jun Xi works at an education institution, beyond that I really don’t know."

Yin Feibai was worried, "You don’t know anything and yet you dare to make friends, living all these years in vain."

Liu Zhiwen felt aggrieved, "Do you need to check three generations to make friends?"

Yin Feibai stopped berating her and hung up, decided he could only try phrasing his questions slyly to probe An Junxi later.

While An Junxi showered and washed her hair, Tony started styling Yin Feibai. He didn’t need much; he was naturally good-looking. Just a change of clothes and a slight fix of his hair was sufficient.

When An Junxi emerged, Yin Feibai was already dressed in a dapper suit waiting for her.

Tony took An Junxi to choose clothes. She was dazzled by the array of clothes, all high-end brands, tags still attached; it was practically a luxury showroom!

Busy checking the clothes, An Junxi heard Yin Feibai casually ask, "Jun Xi, where do you work?"

Still annoyed at Yin Feibai’s earlier "teasing," An Junxi directly ignored his existence; refraining from hitting him was already being very cultivated.

Yin Feibai could only apologize humbly, "I was a bit out of line earlier, I apologize. But I should know a bit about my companion, right? Otherwise, should people ask, it would be embarrassing if we give inconsistent statements."

Considering his apology, An Junxi thought it reasonable and decided to be generous.

She said, "I work at Si Yuan Education Institution, responsible for market promotion."

"That’s it?" How could Gu Yikun have any connection with an unknown educational institution?

An Junxi glanced at him and added, "I also work part-time as a tutor at the Gu Family, specifically tutoring your nephew, Gu Jin Xiu."

Yin Feibai realized, so that’s how it was!

He vaguely remembered Gu Jin Xiu mentioning it before, but he hadn’t really paid attention, now with An Junxi’s explanation, it clicked.

Yin Feibai proceeded to probe, "Where do you live, so I can arrange a driver for you after the gala ends?"

An Junxi replied, "I just live at the Gu Family... by the way, what gala are we attending tonight? Will Mr. Gu be there?" Usually, such gatherings of renowned wealthy people would include Gu Yikun, and if he was attending, she could hitch a ride back.

Yin Feibai was stunned by her words. She lives at the Gu Family?

Even his sister, when still alive, wasn’t allowed to step into Gu Yikun’s suburban villa, only permitted to stay at the old Gu Family home.

Yin Feibai grew more infuriated and replied without care, "Who knows him, President Gu isn’t easily invited."

An Junxi knew Yin Feibai wasn’t on good terms with Gu Yikun, hence, didn’t press further.

Tony picked a black V-neck low-cut evening gown for her. Black was a safe color, generally foolproof, and fitting for a charity gala where simplicity and elegance were appropriate. "Miss An, with your fair skin, black will accentuate your complexion. What do you think?"

An Junxi hesitated, "Isn’t the neckline too low?"

Tony reluctantly put the dress back and picked another, "This one’s more conservative, highlighting your curves. Do you like it, Miss An?"

The neckline was still low for An Junxi, but she didn’t want to seem overly picky, so she responded reluctantly, "It works."
