The car slowly drove into the Si Garden gate half an hour later, and then it just kept driving, and driving...
Wang Qin’s mouth was agape the entire ti.
Good heavens, such a big estate...
She slowly turned her head and said to Gu Anxi, "Professor Bo’s ho is so enormous!"
Mrs. Bo patted her hand. "Co and play with Anxi during the holidays."
Wang Qin agreed, but then she rembered what often appeared on Gu Anxi’s neck... She thought it was better not to disturb them.
The car finally stopped, and a servant went to announce their arrival.
anwhile, Mr. Bo and Bo Xichen were talking in the study; Bo Qing, his second uncle, happened to be there as well.
After hearing the report, Mr. Bo chuckled. "Xichen, Anxi got into a fight at school today. I heard from your mother that she even broke the ribs of the national university Wushu runner-up... This kid is quite athletic."
Bo Xichen smiled. "I’ll need to talk to her later. Constantly fighting isn’t acceptable."
Mr. Bo, however, didn’t seem to mind. "As long as she wins, it’s fine."
Bo Xichen: ...
He rembered his father used to be very strict with him. When had his standards beco so relaxed?
However, Bo Xichen was already accustod to his parents’ double standards.
Second Uncle Bo Qing smiled faintly. "I, for one, am quite keen to et her."
Mr. Bo patted his second younger brother’s shoulder. "You and Xichen are close in age; you two can liven things up together soti."
Bo Qing smiled, and then the three n of the Bo family walked out together.
As soon as they reached the living room, Wang Qin’s face flushed crimson—
The n of the Bo family were all far too handso! Professor Bo was handso in a gentle, jade-like way, a walking fantasy. Uncle Bo, on the other hand, was like a dark prince; his slightly lancholic aura was incredibly captivating!
Wang Qin felt like she was going to die, staring transfixed at Bo Qing.
Bo Qing smiled slightly. "Anxi, is this the little guest you brought?"
Gu Anxi, who was sowhat familiar with him, replied with an "Mhm." "Her na is Wang Qin. She ca with from Qing University."
Bo Qing said nothing more and sat down with his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Gu Anxi then pulled Wang Qin to sit beside Mrs. Bo, while she took a seat on Mrs. Bo’s other side. During dinner, Mrs. Bo fussed affectionately over Gu Anxi and Wang Qin in turn. Wang Qin’s face remained red, and she kept stealing glances around the room.
At this mont, Mr. Bo chuckled. "I heard our Anxi played the hero saving the damsel today. Is that true?"
Mrs. Bo placed a slice of at into Gu Anxi’s bowl and shot a look at her husband. "A fight is a fight. Stop mincing words!"
At this, Bo Jin, who had been sitting quietly to the side, frowned slightly—
A fight!? Gu Anxi fought at school? How could her brother and sister-in-law still protect her so much, treating her like their precious treasure? What kind of girl couldn’t Xichen attract? Why did it have to be Gu Anxi?
Holding a cup of tea, Bo Jin glanced indifferently at Gu Anxi.
Mr. Bo picked up on his wife’s comnt. "You think everyone is like you in your youth? Our Anxi was punishing the wicked and helping the good, not at all like you, who was all youthful impulsiveness and rash actions."
Mrs. Bo raised an eyebrow. "I was rash?"
Mr. Bo lowered his head and focused on his food.
Gu Anxi placed a piece of vegetable into Mrs. Bo’s bowl. "Mother Bo, you don’t need to lift a finger. Just leave it all to ."
Mrs. Bo instantly bead, pinching Gu Anxi’s cheek. "My Anxi always knows how to be considerate of her elders."
Mr. Bo stifled a laugh.
Bo Xichen rubbed his forehead.
Bo Qing was sowhat surprised.
Gu Anxi really had a knack for coaxing Mrs. Bo!
Wang Qin’s face was still flushed. After dinner, holding a cup of tea, she whispered, "Anxi, you seem so at ho with the Bo family, as if it’s your own."
Gu Anxi was playing with her phone in the Orchid Room and muttered, "If I weren’t comfortable here, I wouldn’t be living here."
Actually, she usually lived only with Mr. and Mrs. Bo and Bo Xichen. Other family mbers had their own separate courtyards on the estate and lived apart. It was just a coincidence that they all had a al together today.
Wang Qin felt a bit envious. But when she looked at Gu Anxi’s pretty face, she knew she didn’t have Gu Anxi’s looks. She didn’t have Gu Anxi’s talent either. Gu Anxi could fight; she couldn’t. So, it was good enough for her to have godparents, and she was very grateful to Anxi. Without Anxi, her life wouldn’t be like this now.
Wang Qin, resting her chin on her hands, gazed at Anxi’s face and whispered, "Actually, Anxi, you really remind of Miss Bunny from ’Eighteen Ways for the Big Grey Wolf to Eat the Little Bunny’."
Gu Anxi choked. "How so?"
Wang Qin ignored her and murmured to herself, "Why do I suddenly find Professor Bo and Da Hui so similar too? I must be going crazy, actually casting you two in those roles..."
Gu Anxi thought: Wang Qin, your cursed intuition!
Wang Qin stayed and played for a while longer. Mrs. Bo had her personal driver take her ho. Before Wang Qin left, Mrs. Bo packed a large amount of delicious food for her to take, filling several bags. Additionally, Mrs. Bo selected a single-pearl necklace featuring a top-grade South Sea Deep Sea Pearl from the storeroom for Wang Qin, remarking that it suited her well.
Wang Qin was dumbfounded, looking imploringly at Gu Anxi.
Gu Anxi said lightly, "Just accept it. You can wear it to events in the future."
Blushing, Wang Qin thanked Mrs. Bo.
To Mrs. Bo, these were all effortless gestures! She was incredibly excited. Her child’s classmate was visiting! As the mother of her ’little cutie’ (and future mother-in-law), she loved warmly welcoming her child’s friends. That way, the classmate would think Gu Anxi’s mother (mother-in-law) was such a kind and hospitable person...
After Wang Qin left, Gu Anxi returned to the Orchid Room. Bo Xichen had already co back from Mr. Bo’s study and was sitting on the sofa, reading a dical journal. Seeing her enter, he crooked a finger, beckoning her over.
Gu Anxi went over and snuggled beside him.
He stroked her hair, his palm sliding down to cup the back of her small neck. "Don’t you have anything to say to ?"
Gu Anxi buried her face in his shoulder. "I don’t think I have anything to say right now."
He tilted his head. "Fighting with boys! You’ve really outdone yourself, Gu Anxi?"
His touch felt dangerous. "My mother may dote on you to the heavens, but I’m not so easily fooled."
Gu Anxi tried to run, but he hooked an arm around her waist, and she tumbled back beside him. "Trying to run, hmm?"
He put down the dical journal and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Why did you fight?"
Gu Anxi answered honestly, "He wanted to call him ’brother.’"
Bo Xichen frowned. "Really?"
"Really." Gu Anxi stealthily wrapped her arms around his waist, nuzzled her face against him, and sighed contentedly. "So, to defend your sole claim to , I had to resort to fighting!"
Bo Xichen looked down at the little thing in his arms, hesitating. Should he drag her out for punishnt, or dote on her instead? She was truly, exceptionally skilled at coaxing people; not just his mother, but even he was often chard and swayed by her.
In the end, he finally made a decision.
He got up and turned off Fengxi...
「Early the next morning」
Gu Anxi was dragged out of her warm bed by Bo Xichen. In stark contrast to her exhaustion, he appeared refreshed and invigorated. This infuriated Gu Anxi so much that she refused to speak to him for the entire car ride.
Bo Xichen knew he had been a bit too much the previous night, so just before they got out of the car, he spent so ti teasing her again.
