Beicheng Airport.
Gu Anxi got out of the car, looking at the loads of belongings and feeling a little helpless. "Mom Bo, there’s too much stuff."
Mrs. Bo smiled broadly. "Don’t worry, I’ve arranged a fleet of cars in Qingcheng."
Gu Anxi hugged her. "I’ll miss you, Mom Bo."
Mrs. Bo had gotten used to seeing her every day, and now that they were parting for several days, she couldn’t bear it either. However, she still laughed and scolded, "I don’t miss you at all! I’d rather have so peace for a month without your annoying presence, you little pest."
Bo Jin and Bo Nianyao stood shoulder to shoulder. Bo Nianyao rarely complained to his younger sister, Bo Jin, "Your sister-in-law is becoming increasingly insincere."
Bo Jin glanced at her older brother with a hint of lancholy and sighed.
Gu Anxi hugged Bo Jin again, then went over to Bo Nianyao. Her father-in-law reached out and patted her head. "You’ve been looking quite well lately."
He was referring to her health. He had been sowhat worried about her ever since the Qingtian race. Now that she seed stronger, he was slightly relieved.
Gu Anxi whispered, "Thanks, Father Bo."
Bo Nianyao spoke again, "Xichen told last night that he had made so new breakthroughs in that experint..."
He didn’t say anything further, just patted her shoulder and said, "You’re a good child."
Gu Anxi looked back at Bo Xichen, who was smiling.
She walked over to him. "Why didn’t you tell ?"
Bo Xichen just chuckled lightly. "I wanted to tell you once I succeeded."
He paused for a mont. "To marry my lady sooner, I’ll have to work even harder."
He can find a way to include marriage in every conversation... But is he saying this to keep from getting emotional? Gu Anxi thought.
Mrs. Bo ca over. "It’s getting late, hurry and board the plane!"
Then she hugged her boy. "Have a safe trip."
Gu Anxi humd in acknowledgnt and obediently followed Bo Xichen.
Mrs. Bo sighed. "Xichen seems so much more personable now that he has a girlfriend."
Everyone else also smiled.
「Two hours later, Qingcheng Airport.」
Wang Keru had personally co to pick them up. As Gu Anxi and Bo Xichen got into the car, Wang Keru asked while driving, "Did you see Grandma Chen?"
Gu Anxi shook her head. "She’s with my Aunt Gu Ning. I heard Aunt Gu Ning’s hand-ground coffee is quite good."
Wang Keru nodded. "Yesterday, she suddenly announced she was going to Beicheng. It startled ; she just up and left."
Gu Anxi said honestly, "Grandma Chen asked to tell you that she’s waiting for you in Beicheng."
Wang Keru simply replied, "Oh."
Gu Anxi then cautiously probed, "Mom, it seems like you and Grandma Chen are getting along well now."
At the ntion of this, Wang Keru started to pour out her grievances—how she felt like a grandchild, how Grandma Chen was so fierce and wanted to manage everything about her...
Listening to her, isn’t this just like a mother managing her daughter? Gu Anxi thought.
She just smiled and didn’t say anything.
Wang Keru complained, "Anxi, you don’t even sympathize with !"
Leaning on Bo Xichen’s shoulder, Gu Anxi stifled a laugh. "But I think you and Grandma Chen are both enjoying it."
Wang Keru imdiately retorted, "No, I’m not!"
But then she couldn’t help adding, "She’s so fierce! Anxi, you’re the only one who isn’t afraid of her."
Gu Anxi just laughed. She and Bo Xichen exchanged a look, their eyes filled with amusent.
Bo Xichen admonished in a low voice, "Don’t be cheeky with your elders."
Wang Keru snapped back to reality. "Xichen, I told you I feel like a grandchild, and you didn’t believe ! With Grandma Chen managing from above, and Anxi managing so tightly, I can barely breathe!"
Bo Xichen smiled softly. She really is enjoying it, isn’t she? he thought.
He still rembered a long ti ago, when Wang Keru and Gu Anxi didn’t get along well. Wang Keru had been constantly anxious then, but now things were completely different.
It was all thanks to his little one, who had propped up this family.
Thinking this, he stroked her hair as a reward.
Gu Anxi leaned her head against his shoulder and yawned. "Mom, let’s go to the hospital first. I want to see Dad."
Wang Keru’s voice deepened slightly. "Okay."
The car turned into a tunnel and entered the expressway. In less than half an hour, they arrived at Yunxi Hospital.
Gu Yuntian had professional nurses looking after him, and Wang Keru visited him every day. She didn’t socialize much these days and lived a very simple life. Just as she had said, going to Beicheng was to support Anxi’s standing; in Qingcheng, she was either at the hospital or at the Gu family villa.
Gu Anxi walked into the ward. Gu Yuntian was still lying there, just as he always had.
Gu Anxi went over to him. She didn’t say anything, rely took his hand and pressed it against her cheek.
Bo Xichen looked at Gu Yuntian. "I’ll give your father a full-body examination."
The experint was ongoing, and Gu Yuntian’s body had to be able to endure it. Otherwise, even if the experint succeeded, if his body wasn’t fit for surgery, there would be nothing they could do.
Gu Anxi humd in response.
Bo Xichen looked at Gu Anxi. "You’re coming to the examination room with . You’ll perform the procedures this ti."
Wang Keru was stunned. "Anxi... can she do it? She didn’t study dicine!"
Bo Xichen smiled. "Auntie, Anxi’s skill level is equivalent to eight years of dical study. Her technique is even more precise than so professional operating room surgeons."
Wang Keru was still in shock. "Really? But that’s impossible... This child..."
"A prodigy!" Bo Xichen smiled. "That’s how prodigies are. Anxi is proficient in everything."
Wang Keru covered her mouth, exclaiming internally, Heavens, I can’t believe it!
A mont later, she was crying tears of joy. This is the child I bore! So smart, she must take after !
Thinking about it made her happy, and she rubbed her hands together. "She’s so capable. Maybe Yuntian will be so overjoyed he’ll wake up?"
Although Gu Yuntian hadn’t woken up, seeing Xichen and Anxi’s confident deanor, it seed like they had a secret, as if they had a very effective plan. Wang Keru didn’t dare to ask, carefully guarding her hopes—like soone who’s made a wish that won’t co true if spoken aloud, she was extrely cautious.
When Gu Anxi ca out in a doctor’s coat, Wang Keru felt another surge of excitent.
Bo Xichen looked at her and suddenly understood sothing. This is probably why Anxi, who is usually so cold, can be so surprisingly sweet and a little clingy in private. She likely takes after Wang Keru.
He gave a slight smile and personally wheeled Gu Yuntian into the examination room.
The door closed.
Wang Keru waited outside.
In the examination room, from the manual examination to operating the equipnt, Gu Anxi handled everything. These past days, she had not only learned from Bo Xichen, but sotis when Bo Nianyao had free ti, he would also call her over to give her so pointers.
Besides doting on her, Bo Nianyao also greatly admired this child. She was highly talented, willing to learn, and picked things up instantly.
Who wouldn’t like her?
Moreover, her appearance was coly and proper. Only such a girl was a match for Xichen. Just looking at them together would make any parent smile with heartfelt approval.
Gu Anxi finished examining Gu Yuntian, took off her gloves, and was silent for a mont.
"Little Uncle," she said, looking up, "I think Dad’s condition has improved a bit."
Bo Xichen nodded. "Yes, it has improved sowhat."
He then added in a low voice, "I heard from the nurses that your mom often cos here to talk to your dad. Perhaps Uncle Gu’s will to live has strengthened considerably because of it."
Gu Anxi nodded.
She would never rush Bo Xichen about the experint’s progress. She knew he was constantly trying to find a solution. Despite being so busy, he always prioritized her affairs.
