Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO

Chapter 67 - 67: She is My Girlfriend

An Junxi regretted asking as soon as the words left her mouth. What a silly question she asked! How could President Gu, who is so busy every day, have time to spend on her?

If Gu Yikun was willing to send a driver to pick her up, that would already be a great kindness!

Gu Yikun was silent for a moment, then said, "Wait for me."

An Junxi stared dumbly at the phone. What did he say? Did she hear correctly?

Lv Jing saw their call ended and couldn't wait to hit her with insults: "An Junxi, who do you think you are? What right do you have to ask Mr. Gu to pick you up? Stop humiliating yourself!"

An Junxi asked the waiter for a glass of ice water again. She took a few sips to calm down, then looked at Lv Jing calmly, "Mr. Gu said I should wait for him."

Lv Jing shrieked, "Are you joking!"

Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of other customers. Everyone looked over, and An Junxi hurriedly covered her face halfway with her hand, "What are you shouting about?"

Lv Jing's face turned somewhat ferocious, "An Junxi, you're lying to me, aren't you? How could Mr. Gu come to pick you up?"

"You'll know in a bit if it's true or not." She trusted Gu Yikun completely. If he said he would come over, then he would definitely come over.

Lv Jing said, "Do you know how much Mr. Gu loved my sister before? He once said he would not bear the surname Gu for my sister! My sister has been dead for so many years, and Mr. Gu never forgot her. He's been without any scandals all these years because of his promise to my sister. How long have you known Mr. Gu? How could he possibly take a liking to you!"

An Junxi did not deny that Gu Yikun was very fond of Lv Mo back then, fond enough to break with his family. But now that Lv Mo was no longer around, there would definitely be other women in Gu Yikun's life in the future.

Since she was by his side now, why shouldn't she give it a try?

Thinking of this possibility made An Junxi's heart race. She wasn't always this brave; she had planned to hide her feelings forever. But Lv Jing's challenge had stirred her competitive nature, conquering her innate timidness in matters of love.

It was due to her timidity that she missed out on Gong Tianfan at the time.

She didn't want to miss out on Gu Yikun. Even if she was rejected, it would be better than silently watching him fall for someone else.

As for the Gu family's matriarch, she couldn't afford to think about that for now.

Lv Jing saw that An Junxi was completely ignoring her and shot her a hateful look, "An Junxi, you will regret this."

An Junxi didn't want to engage with her any longer; she only wanted to see Gu Yikun soon.

She kept her eyes on the window. It wasn't long before she saw a black Maybach 62S turn into the parking lot of the square and stop in front of the café.

Lv Jing saw it too, and her face went completely pale. She felt like she could hardly breathe. Why? She looked so much like her sister; why had Mr. Gu never treated her this way!

An Junxi smiled when she saw Gu Yikun get out of the driver's seat. He hadn't even called a driver—he drove over himself.

Her smile was even brighter than the sun. Ignoring Lv Jing, she grabbed her bag and ran outside. As she neared the door, she collected herself, replacing her smile with a look of worry and fear. Before Gu Yikun could reach her, she ran up to him and tightly gripped his arm.

Gu Yikun's tall frame stiffened slightly. He glanced down at her, then looked around, "Where are the reporters?"

An Junxi didn't dare to look at him. Pressing her face against his arm, she clutched his clothes tightly and said, "Mr. Gu, I feel like someone is following me." It was the first time An Junxi had so boldly touched him. Only she knew how nervous she was, shaking even.

Feeling An Junxi's small body trembling, a trace of pity flashed across Gu Yikun's mind. This girl was probably really scared.

If one were to trace the cause, it was because he had been too reckless at the hotel.

Without much thought, he wrapped his arm around her waist and led her to the car, opening the passenger door for her and even buckling her seatbelt.

This series of actions warmed An Junxi's heart, giving her more confidence. But she still didn't know how to start the conversation and needed to prepare properly.

Gu Yikun walked around the car and sat in the driver's seat. Just as he fastened his seatbelt, An Junxi suddenly opened her eyes wide and said, "Oh no."

Gu Yikun looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"Just now... could we have been photographed?" She had been so focused on having him pick her up that she forgot to be discreet!

Thinking something serious had happened, Gu Yikun nonchalantly started the car, quickly merging onto the busy road, "I've come to pick you up. What's there to fear about being photographed?"

At that moment, Gu Yikun was intently focused on the road ahead, his long fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel. He looked in control of everything, making small hearts pop up in An Junxi's eyes.

Gu Yikun drove for a while, sensing something odd. He turned his head to see An Junxi staring at him with sparkling eyes. He almost lost control of the steering wheel, his long-dormant heart pounding rapidly. He cursed under his breath, "An Junxi, if you keep looking at me like that, I'll leave you here!"

An Junxi quickly retracted her audacious gaze, muttering, "Fine, I won't look."

Seeing her look so aggrieved, Gu Yikun's mood surprisingly improved. He said, "We have to start acting now. Remember to cooperate."

An Junxi didn't understand, "Act what?"

"The online discussions are getting more and more intense. Do you think we can just let this farce die down naturally without putting on a good show?"

An Junxi became a little nervous, "So how do you need me to cooperate?"

"You'll see in a bit."

The car quickly arrived at the Senye Group's entrance. Seeing this, An Junxi got a bit scared. Was he going to see Yin Feibai? With the three main characters of the news storm gathered together, who knew what explosive stories the media might write!

Oh well, what needs to be faced will have to be faced.

An Junxi shakily reached for the car door, and Gu Yikun said upon seeing her move, "At this time, it's naturally the boyfriend who should open the door for you. Sit tight."

With that, he handsomely unbuckled his seatbelt, got out, and walked around to An Junxi's side.

Stunned into a stone statue, An Junxi thought, did he just say, boyfriend?

Gu Yikun opened the passenger door, bent down to unbuckle her seatbelt, and seeing An Junxi still not reacting, quietly whispered in her ear, "The entrance is full of reporters; remember to smile." Without waiting for her to acknowledge, he pulled her out of the car with his arm naturally around her waist until she steadied herself.

An Junxi instinctively grabbed his arm. Though her mind was floating, over ten reporters had already surrounded them, their cameras relentlessly clicking while questions bombarded them: "President Gu, is this the lady you took from the hotel? We heard she's the tutor you hired for your young master?"

The camera flashes were too dazzling. An Junxi kept her head down the whole time, hiding behind Gu Yikun, until she heard him say, "No, she is my girlfriend."

An Junxi tightened her grip on Gu Yikun's suit. What was he doing? Why would he say that?
