Bo Jin laughed. "See? You’re no less loved than anyone else. You’re just tough on the outside and soft on the inside. Keru, you’re really blessed."
She sighed. "You’re so much better than Tang Yuan."
Wang Keru was still flattered!

Because Gu Anxi was ill, she didn’t go to school the next day.
In the morning, Bo Xichen personally helped her dress and carried her back to his Orchid Room.
Once they were there, Gu Anxi refused to sleep, instead sitting on the sofa playing with her cell phone.
Bo Xichen tapped her lightly. "You haven’t fully recovered. If you don’t rest properly, you’ll just be playing while still sick. Stop playing."
Gu Anxi, while in a team match on her phone, casually said, "Bo Xichen, you are the cause of my illness. This sofa is the evidence, and now you won’t even let play gas!"
Bo Xichen gave her a light tap. "You’re really rebelling now!"
"Hmm, you don’t like it, huh!" She suddenly put down her phone, wrapped her arms around his waist, and sighed with her face nestled against his chest. "Didn’t you say you liked it when I treated you this way?"
Bo Xichen was utterly speechless; he was no match for her. He could only tug her ear. "Gu Anxi!"
She broke away from him and picked up her phone again. "Papa Bo said if you can’t take care of , he’ll get soone else to do it."
Bo Xichen found he was helpless against her, but spoiling a sick child a little wasn’t a big deal.
That day, he didn’t even go to the hospital, staying ho to accompany her instead.
Gu Anxi certainly nursed her illness in comfort.
At noon, Wang Qin sent her a ssage: "Gu Anxi, you’re done for! You’re definitely going to be the campus prince!"
Gu Anxi was confused. "Why?"
"Because of the new rules, everyone is scrambling for the top spots. Fang Ming chose to compete for campus belle." Wang Qin, unable to resist, added, "He’s so dramatic!"
Gu Anxi also felt that Fang Ming, who usually seed quite cocky, was surprisingly flamboyant deep down, which she hadn’t expected.
After chatting with Wang Qin for a while longer, she set the matter aside.
In the afternoon, Bo Xichen returned from the study and talked with her for a while, then seed to rember sothing. "If you’re not feeling well, don’t go to the photo shoot tomorrow. Just cancel it."
"No way, it’s ten million!" Gu Anxi said, playing with her phone. "It’s just a cold."
Besides, Gu Mingzhu was still waiting to outshine her. She couldn’t possibly disappoint soone who had gone to such painstaking efforts, could she! She calculated; Gu Mingzhu must have been preparing for this for a very long ti! Thinking about this, Gu Anxi couldn’t help but laugh out loud...
Bo Xichen was at his wit’s end with her. He couldn’t help but complain to his parents that they had spoiled Gu Anxi so much she wouldn’t even listen to him, her little uncle, anymore.
Mrs. Bo was shocked. "Really?"
Bo Xichen nodded. "Very disobedient!"
Mrs. Bo was still surprised. "That’s not what I ant. I ant, Xichen, how could you be so inept!"
Bo Jin smiled faintly to the side, then propped her head on her hand and secretly watched her elder brother. Even Mr. Bo couldn’t help but smile.
So, just because Gu Anxi caught a little cold, the entire Bo family stayed ho...
Early the next day, Gu Anxi felt much better. After she assured him that Wang Keru would drive her to the photo shoot set, Bo Xichen finally left for work, relieved. He had an important surgery that morning and couldn’t afford any negligence.
As soon as he left, Gu Anxi snuggled back under the covers, stealing so extra sleep.
She ended up sleeping until nine o’clock.
The photo shoot was scheduled for ten.
When Wang Keru ca to wake her, Gu Anxi leaped out of bed in a panic. Without changing, she threw on an overcoat and drove with Wang Keru to the set.
All the way there, her mother, Wang Keru, hesitated, wanting to say sothing but holding back. Anxi, do you realize you’re wearing Xichen’s black shirt under your coat? Is it really okay to go out wearing a man’s clothes like this? Although, it did look surprisingly good on her.
Wang Keru didn’t know that Bo Xichen’s black shirt was Gu Anxi’s nightgown. And Little Uncle Bo particularly liked it on her because black... complented her skin tone!

At Jia Ren’s exclusive set, the three mbers of the Gu family had already arrived.
Gu Mingzhu had changed into a haute couture, light pink gown with intricate feather work on the bodice. She looked truly vibrant and beautiful. To complete the outfit, she had her hair specially styled into a princess bun.
Tang Yuan was very pleased with the choice of attire and praised it endlessly. "Now, this is how you should look."
Gu Yuanshan couldn’t help but smile. "Mingzhu has always been beautiful, but today she’s exceptionally radiant. She brings honor to both of us."
Tang Yuan had to agree with her husband at this point. "Yes, every ti Mingzhu graces a magazine cover, it sparks a trend. She’s sure to secure a place in the fashion industry in the future."
Chen Shu, the photographer, chuckled. "Mingzhu is indeed very photogenic. She could be a star."
Tang Yuan sowhat disagreed with this statent. What about Mingzhu’s status? How could those celebrities possibly compare to her Mingzhu?
Just then, Gu Ning arrived, handbag in tow. "Those words are certainly pleasant. But why do you, Sister-in-law, still look less than thrilled?"
The sight of Gu Ning always annoyed Tang Yuan, but she had to force a smile.
Gu Yuanshan scolded his sister, "Stop provoking your sister-in-law whenever you see her. We’re family."
"Family, huh?" Gu Ning said caustically, not holding back in the slightest. "It seems our family is still missing soone. Only when that person is here will we truly be a family."
Gu Mingzhu, however, wanting to curry favor, approached her. "Aunt, did you co to see my photo shoot?"
Gu Ning smiled. "Yes, I ca to see your photo shoot. Mingzhu, are you happy?"
With a demure smile, Gu Mingzhu replied, "Of course, I’m happy if Aunt is here."
Seeing her daughter get along sowhat with Gu Ning, Tang Yuan felt a little better. At this mont, she raised her hand to look at the million-dollar watch on her wrist and frowned. "Why hasn’t that Miss Rabbit arrived yet? She has no sense of ti."
"It was agreed for ten o’clock, and there are still five minutes left. Aren’t you jumping to conclusions a bit early, Sister-in-law?" Gu Ning habitually retorted.
Tang Yuan fell silent, secretly thinking that if the young girl was late, she would see what Gu Ning had to say then.
After waiting patiently for a few more minutes, the sound of a car engine was finally heard at the entrance.
Tang Yuan forced a smile. "She is punctual indeed."
Gu Mingzhu, wearing a reserved expression, looked towards the entrance.
She was the precious pearl of the Gu family, while the other was rely from a collateral branch of the Bo family. Of course, she had the status to be a bit reserved.
Chen Shu went to greet them. Upon seeing who it was, he was montarily stunned but then quickly ushered them in.
The mont the door opened.
Tang Yuan froze.
Gu Mingzhu froze.
Gu Yuanshan was also aghast...
After a long mont, he finally managed to ask softly, "What are you doing here?"
Gu Anxi smiled faintly. "I’m here for the photo shoot!"
Gu Yuanshan was shocked.
Gu Mingzhu couldn’t contain herself any longer. "Gu Anxi, don’t think we’ll believe your claim just because you showed up!"
Gu Anxi glanced down.
Indeed, a spoiled little girl.
At this point, Gu Ning casually remarked from the side, "As the biggest fan of ’Gray Wolf,’ let testify. Gu Anxi here is none other than the renowned author, Rabbit, the creator of this comic. Is that clear enough now?"
Tang Yuan trembled with anger. "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Ms. Gu Ning put on an innocent expression. "But I did. I said she was tall and thin, didn’t I? That was a hint. You can’t bla others for your own stupidity!"
