Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 469: Don’t Want to Become a Resentful Woman

Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Don’t Want to Become a Resentful Woman

Once Gu Qianlan heard her brother say she could move in, she packed a small suitcase the next day and moved over. The housekeeper, Mrs. He, prepared a room for her, right next to the children’s room. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Gu Qianlan really liked this room, "Mrs. He, I’m going to live here from now on."

An Junxi was just delivering an incense when she heard this statement.

Living here from now on? Isn’t it just for a few days?

She didn’t show a hint of displeasure, placing the incense on the table, and said to Gu Qianlan, "This incense can calm the nerves and relieve fatigue. It has a light scent, and I found it quite effective, so I brought some over. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to use it."

She didn’t want Yi Ke to come back and find the house filled with arguments, so she forced herself to be friendly to Gu Qianlan for the sake of family harmony, which always requires some sacrifice.

Gu Qianlan didn’t even look at her, "Using incense is so outdated, I won’t use it."

An Junxi’s face stiffened. Great, she just moved in and already wants to create trouble, huh?

Mrs. He, fearing a dispute between the two sisters-in-law, intervened, "I love incense the most, Jun Xi, why don’t you give it to me?"

An Junxi handed the incense to Mrs. He, "Since Qianlan doesn’t like it, feel free to take it."

"Put it down," Gu Qianlan snatched it, "You can’t just give away something that’s already been gifted. That’s really insincere. Even if I don’t use the incense, can’t it be used as decoration?"

Mrs. He laughed, "Of course, it can be used as decoration. Isn’t that right, Jun Xi?"

An Junxi shrugged at Gu Qianlan’s frustrating behavior, "Whatever, I’ve already given it away."

She walked out of the room, "If you need anything, just call Mrs. He. I’m not some stranger; I won’t be waiting on you."

Gu Qianlan made a funny face at An Junxi’s back, "Just giving away some incense and being so stingy."

An Junxi heard it but pretended she hadn’t, going back to her room and punching the cushion, "Gu Qianlan, mess with me again and see if I won’t hit you!"

Mrs. He advised the young mistress, "Jun Xi specially picked out this new incense with good intentions. Don’t dislike it."

"Alright," Gu Qianlan found a small toy in her suitcase, "This is a gift for Ai Xi."

She went to the children’s room to play with the baby, but the baby was still asleep. Xiao Luo said the little lady still needed about twenty minutes to wake up, so not to wake her up.

Gu Qianlan placed the toy next to her little niece’s cheek, "I won’t wake her."

"Young mistress, the edges of this toy are a bit sharp. If placed here, the child might roll over and get hurt on her face..."

Gu Qianlan was annoyed, "Ai Xi loves toys the most. How could she not like this one? Do you know how expensive this toy is? Is there a problem leaving it here? Ai Xi will definitely be happy to see it when she wakes up!"

The noise caused little Ai Xi to furrow her tiny brow in her sleep, rolling over and getting poked by the toy’s finger, waking her up.

Gu Qianlan leaned in, "Little niece woke up, call Auntie!"

Little Ai Xi’s face hurt a bit. She opened her eyes to see her disliked aunt’s face so close and started crying, "Wah, bad Auntie!"

An Junxi hadn’t closed her room door. She quickly went down to the children’s room upon hearing the baby’s cries, finding Gu Qianlan clumsily trying to soothe the child, "Ai Xi, don’t cry. Auntie brought gifts for you!"

Little Ai Xi didn’t like Auntie’s toy. Seeing mommy arrive, she reached her hands out to her, "Auntie is bad."

An Junxi picked up her child. Xiao Luo hurried to explain, "Young madam, it wasn’t me who woke Ai Xi. It was..."

An Junxi knew perfectly well who disturbed Ai Xi. Any place Gu Qianlan appeared turned into a mess.

She told Xiao Luo to go downstairs, "I understand, go on with your work."

Xiao Luo quickly went downstairs, relieved that the young madam didn’t blame her.

It took quite a while for An Junxi to calm the baby down. Gu Qianlan said, "It’s not my fault. Doesn’t Ai Xi have a temper when she wakes up? She’s too timid."

An Junxi’s words were laced with hidden thorns, "Ai Xi is not timid. It depends on who she’s with."

"What do you mean by that? Did I intentionally make her cry?"

An Junxi, carrying the child, headed to the third floor, "You go ahead and play by yourself."

Gu Qianlan followed her, "I just want to clarify. Ai Xi didn’t cry because of me."

An Junxi was annoyed by her persistence, "Fine, I know. Can’t you go play in your own room?"

Gu Qianlan angrily stormed downstairs, "I know you want to make me leave, but I won’t!"

An Junxi didn’t want to argue with her. She went back to her room intending to call Yi Ke but put down her phone, realizing he was busy and not wanting to become a wife who constantly complained.

Little Ai Xi still had tear stains on her face, but babies’ emotions change quickly; she was now smiling at her mommy.

An Junxi couldn’t smile, "Little clever one, you’ll need to get used to playing with Auntie from now on."

That evening, when Gu Yikun returned home, Gu Qianlan asked at dinner, "Brother, how long can I stay?"

Gu Yikun glanced at his wife’s face. An Junxi quietly ate, showing no reaction.

Gu Yikun said, "You can stay as long as you want."

Gu Qianlan took his response as approval, "Then I’ll stay for a long time."

She proudly looked at An Junxi, thinking, you don’t want me to stay, but I’ll stay!

An Junxi put down her chopsticks and stood up. Gu Yikun quickly grabbed her hand, "You haven’t finished eating. Where are you going?"

Afraid she was angry, he spoke tensely, gripping her hand painfully tight.

An Junxi said, "I’m going to the kitchen to get some soup."

Gu Yikun quickly seated her, "Let me help you. You sit."

He eagerly went to the kitchen to get soup for his wife, not waiting for the servants.

Across the table, Gu Qianlan sulkily looked at An Junxi, "An Junxi, my brother just got back from headquarters, don’t you know how to be considerate?"

"How we, as a couple, interact is our business. Gu Qianlan, don’t meddle too much."

Gu Qianlan fiercely stabbed at her plate, "I’ll tell mom. She won’t be happy knowing you’re making my brother overwork. Just you wait."

An Junxi slammed her chopsticks down, "I’m done eating."

She went upstairs, and Gu Yikun couldn’t see his wife when he returned, asking Gu Qianlan, "Where did your sister-in-law go?"

"How should I know? Maybe she found the food unappetizing. So picky."

Gu Yikun followed her upstairs, finding An Junxi in the children’s room.

She didn’t know how long Gu Qianlan would stay. She really couldn’t stand Gu Qianlan’s spoiled attitude any longer; if she stayed, An Junxi was thinking of returning to her parents’ house.

Jin Xiu had to stay at school for a few days. If Jin Xiu could talk to Gu Qianlan, sparing her from this frustration.

Gu Yikun hugged her from behind, "Why didn’t you finish eating? Is Qianlan making you mad? I’ll scold her for you."

An Junxi was upset, "Don’t you know your own sister?"

Gu Yikun assured her, "She’ll change, believe me."

"Whatever, do as you please."

Gu Yikun sensed her mood was off, "Don’t be like this, honey. I’ll take you and the baby out for some fun in a few days to relax."

An Junxi agreed readily, "I’ll try to get along with Gu Qianlan."

She made a good promise, but a few days later, unable to bear it after Yi Ke went to the company, she took the baby to her parents’ house.

Her parents weren’t home, and their phone wasn’t reachable.

Thinking they might be out walking in the neighborhood, she went out looking for them. A neighbor said, "I heard Uncle An went to the hospital."

An Junxi panicked, "When was that? Why did he go to the hospital?"
