Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO

Chapter 58: Chapter 58 So You Are So Cheap

An Junxi’s attitude made Gu Yikun even angrier. He reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him. "Don’t understand? I’ve been watching you from the room upstairs in the lobby, socializing with Yin Feibai. Aren’t you very clever and sociable? How come you don’t understand what I’m saying now?"

Because of that phone call, he couldn’t work at all in the afternoon. He was so angry thinking about An Junxi being with Yin Feibai that he wanted to kill someone. He came to the VIP lounge in the hotel lobby early, watching every corner of the lobby through the black reflective glass. From the moment An Junxi entered with her arm linked to Yin Feibai’s, his eyes had been fixed on her.

He had never seen An Junxi dressed like this tonight. To be honest, she looked very beautiful, different from her usual self. But this version of her was standing next to Yin Feibai, laughing and talking elegantly. It infuriated him.

She was originally supposed to accompany him tonight. She should have been standing by his side.

Yet, what had this woman done? Now she was pretending not to understand?

An Junxi could sense the sarcasm in his words. She really didn’t know how she had offended him. His impolite attitude made An Junxi very displeased. Her temper flared, and she swatted Gu Yikun’s hand away, saying, "I have personal freedom. Even if you are my employer, you can’t control who I accompany to a banquet."

Her words were like a sharp blade, stabbing into Gu Yikun’s heart.

He had been angry for most of the day, and to her, it was just "can’t control"?

His heart ached, and he began to speak agitatedly, "The tutors I, Gu Yikun, hire must have clean conduct, not just any disreputable person. Understand?"

The coldness in his eyes made An Junxi momentarily breathless. She looked at him straightforwardly and disappointedly, raising her voice, "Gu Yikun, who are you calling a disreputable person?"

Gu Yikun sneered, "You know very well what you just did with Yin Feibai."

An Junxi was so angry she couldn’t speak. He came rushing in to question her angrily, treating her like she belonged to him?

Yin Feibai, looking for An Junxi on the terrace, asked a waiter for directions, "I think I just saw President Gu and that lady heading that way."

Yin Feibai raised an eyebrow. This could be interesting.

He quickly turned the corner and indeed saw Gu Yikun cornering An Junxi. An Junxi’s petite figure looked even more fragile in President Gu’s arms. Unfortunately, the scene wasn’t filled with tenderness but was brimming with tension. As soon as Yin Feibai got there, he heard An Junxi’s exclamation, "Who are you calling disreputable?"

Well, it seemed Gu Yikun was really angered by that phone call.

Yin Feibai was quite pleased and didn’t expect that An Junxi could affect Gu Yikun’s emotions so much.

Feeling that the situation wasn’t chaotic enough, he went forward and separated Gu Yikun, placing An Junxi behind him protectively. With a bold expression, he said to Gu Yikun, "Brother-in-law, what are you trying to do to my girlfriend?"

An Junxi didn’t want to face Gu Yikun at all right now. With Yin Feibai here, she cooperatively hid behind him, just hoping to leave quickly.

Her reaction was practically challenging Gu Yikun’s bottom line. His voice turned icy as he asked Yin Feibai, "Is she your girlfriend?"

Yin Feibai suddenly changed his mind and said, "Yes, I spent five thousand bucks, and she agreed to be my girlfriend for a day, to accompany me to the banquet and also the event just now."

"Just now" referred to the unmentionable thing Gu Yikun heard in the phone call.

Gu Yikun, being a man, certainly understood.

His eyes turned bloodshot as he looked at An Junxi, saying, "So you’re this cheap." It was utterly ridiculous. This woman was willing to keep company and sleep with someone for just five thousand bucks, yet he got angry for her!

Gu Yikun didn’t know what he was feeling right now, only wanting to beat this woman up severely to vent his anger.

An Junxi was still trying to make sense of Gu Yikun’s inexplicable accusations when she heard Yin Feibai’s humiliating words. Stepping back in disbelief, she asked, "Yin Feibai, what do you mean by ’what just happened’?"

She wasn’t stupid. She immediately understood that Yin Feibai had something hidden from her.

Gu Yikun’s words calling her cheap echoed in her mind. An Junxi felt like a tear had formed in her heart, and a cold wind was seeping through relentlessly. She had never been so wronged before. She couldn’t believe that in Gu Yikun’s eyes, she was such a woman.

Yin Feibai couldn’t meet An Junxi’s gaze. He regretted his words as soon as he spoke. He just wanted to piss off Gu Yikun but didn’t consider how much his words would hurt a girl.

He wanted to make amends and reached out to pull An Junxi, "I just..."

An Junxi shook him off and stepped back a few steps, leaning against the wall. "Enough! You two bastards! Yes, I’m cheap, being humiliated here for a bit of money. You are nobles, wealthy people, and I’m just a cheap escort, unworthy of you. Satisfied? I’m not playing anymore!" By the end, her voice had become hoarse. An Junxi supported herself against the wall, and her eyes began to blur. In the next moment, tears would uncontrollably pour out.

She took a deep breath, forced her tears back, and turned to leave.

She had only taken two steps before almost twisting her ankle. She simply took off her high heels and ran back to the terrace barefoot.

Gu Yikun was pained by her staggering silhouette. The rage in his heart dissipated significantly upon hearing her self-deprecating outburst. When he saw the tears welling up in An Junxi’s big eyes, he could no longer stay angry. He strode forward and grabbed her arm, "Where are you going?"

"What do you care where I’m going? Your Gu Family can’t tolerate someone as disreputable as me, so I’m not going back."

"Don’t even think about it!"

An Junxi’s words made Gu Yikun anxious. He simply picked her up, and no matter how she struggled, he didn’t let go. Coldly, he said to Yin Feibai, "I will definitely settle accounts with you for what happened today!"

Yin Feibai didn’t stop him. He handed An Junxi’s phone over and apologized to her, "I’ll make it up to you some other day."

"No need." Gu Yikun coldly replied on An Junxi’s behalf. He took her phone and put it in his pocket, carrying her easily to the elevator.

He had a private elevator and directly avoided other people, descending to the parking lot. Ignoring An Junxi’s struggles, he pushed her into the car and instructed Xiao Liu, "Go home."

Xiao Liu had already been warned by Assistant Cha, but seeing the president’s drastic change in behavior, carrying Miss An down, he was still quite shocked. He didn’t dare ask more, "Yes, sir."

The car drove smoothly. Gu Yikun lowered the partition between the front and back seats, separating the back seat from the driver’s area. He then asked An Junxi, "Where did you go with Yin Feibai tonight, and what did you do?"

An Junxi sat far from him, hugging her arm which he had hurt. After a long time, she finally said, "President Gu, I finally know what kind of person I am in your eyes."
