When Bo Xichen was feeling slightly sour, Madam Bo stood at the main hall entrance with the household servants. There was also a fire basin at the door, and Gu Anxi chuckled at the sight: "It’s just a minor injury, is all this really necessary?"
Madam Bo glanced at her, feigning displeasure: "We’re doing all this for you, yet you went running off to the airport on your own. Just wait and see how I deal with you later, I’ll spank your little behind."
Gu Anxi just laughed.
Although she didn’t really believe in these customs, she still stepped over the basin to respect Madam Bo’s intentions. The house servants clapped exaggeratedly and said so festive words, which made Madam Bo happy. She reached out and handed each of them a red envelope.
Gu Anxi also playfully asked for one. Madam Bo pulled her to her side, made her sit down, and then went inside. She ca out a mont later with a box in her hand.
Gu Anxi looked at it eagerly: "Is there a gift?"
Madam Bo looked at her and said: "This isn’t just any ordinary gift."
As she spoke, she opened the box, and Gu Anxi’s eyes sparkled for a mont.
Inside was an erald green Guanyin pendant, of the highest quality and color, looking very precious, strung on a delicate silver chain, very beautiful.
Madam Bo picked it up and helped her put it on, saying: "I had this made and personally took it to the temple to have it blessed by a high monk. I reported your birthdate, so in the future you must not take it off, understand? It’s for protection."
Gu Anxi lowered her head, touching it with her hand, and suddenly her eyes beca a bit moist.
This ti when she got into trouble, Madam Bo did not bla her openly, but she had cried many tis in private. In retrospect, that makes Gu Anxi feel bad.
The little angel ca online, stepped forward, and hugged Madam Bo: "I won’t do this again in the future."
Madam Bo’s eyes reddened, and after holding it in for a long ti, she finally burst out, scolding: "You naughty child, when you were playing the hero, you only cared about having your fun. Did you ever stop to think about your father and ? If anything happened to you, Xichen could remarry, but what about us two old folks?"
Bo Xichen silently touched his nose.
This family had long since cut him out.
With Madam Bo so sad and putting so much thought into giving such a protective talisman, the little angel naturally had to coax her. It took quite a long ti before Madam Bo managed a reluctant smile and pinched her cheeks fiercely before letting her go.
Madam Bo waved her hand: "Alright, alright, I won’t scold you anymore, lest your dad says I’m mistreating you. You and Xichen go back and have a good rest."
Madam Bo didn’t say it, but she felt pained inside. In the sumr heat, her child wore such thick clothes. She secretly thought she had to let Nian Yao co up with a recipe and ensure she drank it three tis a day. Besides, she needed to talk to Xichen about the trip to Jiangcheng. It couldn’t just be taken carelessly, soone had to take good care of the child’s health.
While Madam Bo was thinking about all this, Bo Xichen had already taken the little one back to the Orchid Room.
After walking for quite a while, Gu Anxi felt tired. She sprawled cat-like on the sofa, hugging Bo Xichen, and asked him softly about the matter in Italy.
Bo Xichen explained simply and then lowered his head, "We haven’t finished our previous conversation."
Gu Anxi scratched her head, pretending to be clueless: "Uncle, do you an Fengxi and Feng Mian? They’re doing well."
Bo Xichen covered her with a small blanket, pressing her against his chest, murmuring: "Anxi, have you ever thought about being happier in Qingcheng?"
She sat up a little, looking at him eagerly.
Bo Xichen pushed her back down, then rasped: "I don’t an to give up, I just feel you’re constrained being with . You could be happier."
Gu Anxi replied with a hum, wrapping him with her small arms, her voice tiny, as if she were about to fall asleep: "Yes, maybe it would be a bit easier, but without my uncle, I would never be truly happy... You don’t have to feel guilty, it’s all my choice, even saving my old brother, that’s instinctual. Even if Zhou Yunchen was in danger, I would save him too."
Her voice dropped: "But if we had a child, I might beco a bit selfish. I wouldn’t let our child be without a mother."
"Uncle, I’m not as good as you think, really." She was truly about to fall asleep, yet she forced herself to finish talking: "Uncle, you mustn’t say things that upset , otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" He smiled faintly.
Gu Anxi hugged his neck tightly: "Otherwise I’ll marry Director Hao, and strut around the hospital every day for you to see."
Bo Xichen: ...
He reached out and lightly tapped her: "Don’t say such things in front of Director Hao, or you’ll scare him."
The little angel giggled quietly and then hugged him tightly again, murmuring: "Uncle, I’m going to sleep."
After she finished speaking, she fell asleep. Bo Xichen looked at the sofa. He originally intended to carry her to the bedroom to rest, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. He just held her, keeping her warm...
About an hour later, he carried her back to the bedroom, tidied up a bit, and went to Bo Nianyao’s study.
Nian Yao had so docunts at hand with all sorts of supplents piled in front of him. Seeing Bo Xichen co over, he waved: "Xichen, co and see if this list needs any improvents."
Bo Xichen glanced at it and frowned: "Isn’t this too much?"
Nian Yao frowned: "Is it?"
He suddenly understood, clapped his hands, and laughed: "Xichen, this is not for Anxi, it’s for you."
Bo Xichen: ... Suddenly felt not so good.
