On hearing this, King Jingyao scoffed. "What does it matter what she likes to eat? Just pick a few dishes she dislikes."
The secretary-general chuckled, knowing his boss was being insincere, and left to carry out the orders.
For the next half hour, King Jingyao imrsed himself in his docunts, completely ignoring the little troublemaker.
Gu Anxi stood there, watching him eagerly.
A mont later, King Jingyao coughed. The sweet girl imdiately fetched a cup of water and gently placed it before her older brother. "Have so water."
The powerful man looked at her. "I don’t want any."
Gu Anxi held the water out. "Well, if you’re not drinking, I will."
Just as she reached for it, he snatched it back. Drinking, he glared at her. "No sincerity."
After finishing the water, still annoyed, he lectured her again, "Min Xin is a dangerous person. Stay away from him in the future."
The sweet girl hopped onto his desk.
King Jingyao reached out to shoo her off. "Get down! How unladylike!"
Gu Anxi placed her hands before her, her eyes shining like stars as she looked at her older brother. "I know you’ve always been wary of the people backing Min Xin. Now, there’s an excellent opportunity to divide them, make Min Xin lose interest in power, and leave Dark without its master’s support."
King Jingyao slowly looked up, put down his pen, and tilted his head. ’Let’s hear it.’
The sweet girl leaned in and explained her plan in detail.
Her older brother listened, nodding frequently. His initially unhappy face gradually softened into an amiable one, and he finally said, "Not bad!"
Gu Anxi straightened up, her expression shifting. "So, do you still think I was just ssing around and causing trouble?"
"Who dares to say that about you? I’ll be the first to deal with them." King Jingyao laughed heartily before striding to the door and calling for the secretary-general. ’Jingchuan.’
Jingchuan ca over with a sigh. "Mr. Wang, what is it?"
King Jingyao waved his hand. "Let them eat those dishes themselves. I’m taking Anxi out for sothing good. You co too, and call Xichen. Let’s have a lively al."
The secretary-general was dumbfounded. The boss’s mood changed too quickly!
But then again, it was perfectly normal for such an important figure’s mood to change frequently.
So, the three of them drove to the best restaurant in Beicheng, the sa one they had visited with Zhou Yu last ti. The car ride was filled with talk and laughter, which made the secretary-general admire Gu Anxi all the more.
His master was notoriously difficult to serve, yet now, the master was serving this little troublemaker.
Just a mont ago, he was hopping mad, and now she was his precious baby sister.
At that mont, in the secretary-general’s heart, Gu Anxi’s status rose another level, almost like a master.
anwhile, Bo Xichen had just finished surgery when he received a ssage from his parents saying Anxi had caused big trouble and her older brother was about to skin her alive. But when he arrived at the restaurant, it was completely different from what his parents had said; the atmosphere was joyful and harmonious.
Seeing Bo Xichen, King Jingyao personally went up and patted his shoulder. "Xichen, you must have a couple of drinks with tonight."
Bo Xichen smiled. "Is there a special occasion today?"
A peculiar light flickered in King Jingyao’s eyes as he played with his lighter and chuckled. "I’ve wanted to get rid of Min Xin for a long ti. That fellow is ruthless and no longer suitable for that position."
For many years, neither of them had been able to take the other down.
Now that there was finally a crack in the stalemate, he was naturally delighted.
He regarded Bo Xichen as one of his own. Bo Xichen smiled and looked at Gu Anxi. ’Anxi’s idea?’
The sweet girl scooted aside.
King Jingyao’s face hardened. "Xichen, you are not to bla her. I think Anxi’s idea is excellent, very insightful."
He was in an extrely good mood. "Anyway, this matter is almost a sure thing."
Bo Xichen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Although this was everyone’s common wish, how did the whole atmosphere change so drastically once Anxi got involved?
Especially Mr. Wang’s moods, which could swing from heaven to earth, seed to have gained a lot more vitality.
The Bo Family, up and down, had long since witnessed such things and were unfazed; everyone was exceedingly calm.
The al was enjoyed to the fullest by both host and guests.
King Jingyao had drunk a bit too much. The secretary-general, afraid he might lose his composure, quickly helped him leave. "Young Master Bo, I’ll trouble you with Miss Anxi."
Bo Xichen smiled. "I will take care of her."
He looked down at the little one sprawled on the table, not knowing if she was really drunk or just pretending.
He reached out and pinched her cheek. "Anxi."
Gu Anxi mumbled, then leaned over against his arm. "Little Uncle, carry on your back."
He chuckled. "You’re so big now."
But he still carried her on his back, walking slowly along the streets in the evening, the driver following in the car behind them.
Heh, Young Master Bo really doted on Miss Anxi. So romantic, late at night.
Ahead, Gu Anxi lay on Bo Xichen’s back, her arms around his neck, whispering softly, "Little Uncle, when are we getting married?"
He chuckled. "You want to get married?"
"Yes." After a mont, she shook her head. "No."
"Why not?" His voice was extrely gentle.
Gu Anxi thought carefully, then snuggled close to his ear and said in a sweet, childish voice, "After we get married, you won’t dote on anymore."
He laughed and patted her lightly. "Don’t I dote on you?"
He then added, "After we get married, I’ll still dote on you every day, hmm?"
Gu Anxi grinned, hugging his neck. "Liar."
"Is that so?" Young Uncle Bo’s voice trailed off, and a certain little rascal’s skin tightened—
It’s over! He’s going to skin alive!

However warm Si Garden was, like spring, Min Mansion was just as icy cold.
Min Xin took a bath and returned to the master bedroom in his bathrobe. He hadn’t stayed here overnight for a long ti. He and Zhou Yu had always slept in separate rooms because she couldn’t fall asleep beside him and refused to be in the sa room.
With her gone, he occupied her bedroom, where only the faint fragrance proved she had been there not long ago.
Min Xin leaned against the headboard, lit a cigarette, and smoked quietly. With his other hand, he picked up his phone and dialed the woman’s number, but he couldn’t get through no matter how many tis he tried.
Switched off.
He tossed the phone aside, veins pulsing on his forehead.
It was all because of that Gu Anxi. If not for Gu Anxi, Zhou Yu wouldn’t have had a hundred guts to leave him. Besides, a weak woman like her simply couldn’t survive out there.
And that Gu Anxi had simply brainwashed Zhou Yu. In the past, Zhou Yu’s life had only one man, Min Xin. Even if she hated him or ignored him, he was the only one.
Now, she even dared to say she’d let another man support her!
Which man could support her?
The money she spent on upkeep each month was probably two to three million, not to ntion clothes and jewelry. Those good-for-nothing n outside earn at most a few tens of thousands a month. What would they use to support a fairy?
Min Xin squinted, recalling various things about Zhou Yu... Actually, he had so rather dark thoughts about why they didn’t have children.
Besides the fear of it being seen as a weakness, it was also because a woman who had given birth was inevitably different. Zhou Yu was a fairy in his heart; having a child would bring her down to the mortal realm...
Min Xin finished his cigarette and lay down, feeling restless.
But he didn’t think of finding other won. Besides Zhou Yu, other won only possessed a gender; they had no nas, nothing else.
But in the six months after he was injured, he was terrified; he didn’t even dare touch her—
In that one year, he had probably only sought her out two or three tis in total.
Each ti was like the eve of the apocalypse, as if there would be no tomorrow after today... Living in such constant trepidation, twenty years had passed.
Until Zhou Yu no longer loved him and hated him to death!
And his love, if spoken aloud, would only disgust her.
Min Xin couldn’t sleep. In the middle of the night, he got up, put on his pajamas, and went downstairs. His n were keeping watch. Seeing him co down, they said, "Mr. Min."
Min Xin said softly, "Notify Dark to have his organization’s most capable ’Infinite’ find the Madam’s whereabouts as soon as possible."
The subordinate nodded. "Yes, sir." He then issued the command.
Min Xin didn’t sleep; he kept waiting.
At dawn, a reply finally ca—
Infinite had already defected from the Dark Organization. Liu Chen had now been dispatched to search with all effort for Mrs. Min’s whereabouts.
Min Xin frowned. "Infinite defected? Then why wasn’t she captured? Don’t you know how dangerous it is for such a person to be at large?"
He contacted Dark directly. The person on the other end said softly, "We currently don’t have her whereabouts."
Min Xin sneered. "You’re really living up to your role as her master and teacher!"
Dark’s voice was cold. "Mr. Min, I can do things for you, but I am not one of your subordinates... Also, you seem to have beco soft-hearted. A successful man should not have weaknesses."
Min Xin narrowed his eyes. "What do you an?"
Dark said softly, "Zhou Yu left. Isn’t that for the best? What is there that you can’t bear to part with?"
Min Xin wanted to say more, but the call disconnected. Then, a string of addresses was sent to his phone—
