Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1055 - 1054: Uncle, I Can’t Sleep

Bo Xichen was somewhat surprised and looked down at her.Gu Anxi smiled and then spoke softly, "This child can’t be born."

Because with the old man’s character, it’s simply impossible for him to agree so easily for Shen Wanqing to move in. Such an arrangement was a heartless blow. Without the child, could Wang Kefu still call her sweetheart?

After Gu Anxi finished speaking, Bo Xichen wasn’t surprised either. The Bo Family may not have such messy affairs, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t understand. He just remained silent for a moment, then reached out to pat her little head, "Alright, sleep."

Gu Anxi murmured and wrapped her arms around his neck wanting a hug.

"So pampered." Bo Xichen lightly patted her and smiled.

Later, he reached out to carry her to the bedroom...

That night, Gu Anxi didn’t sleep very soundly. She kept her eyes open, turning her head to look toward the floor-to-ceiling window—

It was still raining outside, and through the glass, the sound was faint. Gu Anxi quietly listened.

Bo Xichen woke up, looked at her quietly for a while, and asked softly, "Can’t sleep?"

She gazed outside the window, then suddenly turned around, "I don’t know why, I was really sleepy earlier."

She thought about it, a bit embarrassed, and said, "Maybe I’m hungry."

Bo Xichen smiled slightly, got up and put on some clothes, "Wait here, I’ll make you a bowl of noodles."

Gu Anxi called out from behind him, "I want oil-splashed noodles."

He glanced at her, "Quite picky, huh."

After saying that, he quietly went out to the living room and checked the time—it was just past one. He thought about how she had dinner at the Wang Family tonight and probably didn’t have a good meal.

He smiled, took a cigarette from the pack on the dining table, lit it and took a puff before heading to the kitchen.

Bo Xichen didn’t cook often, but his cooking skills weren’t bad. Under the soft yellow light, his focused appearance was handsome and captivating.

After making two bowls of noodles and serving them, Bo Nianyao somehow wandered over, leaning against the doorframe, "Xichen, not sleeping in the middle of the night? Is the kid hungry?"

Bo Xichen turned his head, looking a bit surprised at Bo Nianyao, "Why aren’t you asleep either?"

Bo Nianyao chuckled, "At my age, it’s normal to have trouble sleeping. It’s more unusual for young ones like you to stay up."

After saying this, he walked over, smiling at his son, "This extra bowl, is it for me?"

Bo Xichen was amused, "Have some together then."

Bo Nianyao unceremoniously took a bowl, "Alright, call the little one too. Not eating with her tonight feels off."

Bo Xichen was a bit at a loss for words, "You spoil her too much."

—It’s like raising her as a granddaughter.

Bo Nianyao disagreed, "You’re wrong. Xichen, the little one belongs to everyone, not just you. If your mom heard you, she wouldn’t be happy."

Bo Xichen was helpless.

The two chatted as they went to the dining room. By this time, Gu Anxi had come out, sniffing the air like a little puppy, "Smells so good."

"Eat more if it smells good." Bo Nianyao smiled warmly, "Thanks to you, I get to eat a bowl cooked by my son too."

Gu Anxi obediently bowed her head and ate her noodles, while Nianyao’s father patted her little head, satisfied, and joined in eating.

Bo Xichen could only smoke on the side, fortunately, Gu Anxi didn’t mind and let him smoke.

During this late-night moment, the three of them chatted on and off. Later, the Bo father and son began discussing work. After finishing her noodles, Gu Anxi listened to a few words and found it more effective than sleeping pills, yawning, "I’m going to sleep first."

Bo Xichen laughed, "We’re done talking too."

Bo Nianyao stood up, "Oh, my poor old man, go on, go rest."

Bo Xichen glanced at him, took the cigarette pack from the table, and Bo Nianyao chuckled, "Xichen, you’ve picked up some bad habits from the little one, not leaving a cigarette for your old man."

Bo Xichen faintly smiled, "Smoking too much is not good."

"Alright, I know my limits," Bo Nianyao said, "but being used to staying with your mother, I’m a bit unaccustomed now."

After saying that, he waved his hand and went back to his room first.

Bo Xichen stood there by himself, smoked a cigarette, and only then returned to the bedroom.

He went to brush his teeth, and when he came back, he saw that Gu Anxi was already asleep, lying on her side and hugging a small pillow, looking adorably cute. He couldn’t help but laugh, sitting down, thinking back to when he first met her. The young girl didn’t even frown when her wrist bone was fractured, and now she slept next to him hugging a small pillow—it hadn’t even been more than a year.

He smiled slightly, lay down, turned his head to look at her, and only fell asleep after a long while.

Even though he slept late, he got up early in the morning and went to the lab with Bo Nianyao first thing in the morning.

When Gu Anxi woke up, she touched the pillow beside her and knew he had left, stretched her lazy waist, went downstairs, and the auntie in the living room greeted her with a smile: "Awake now? Young Master Xichen said not to wake you up."

She paused, pursed her lips, and smiled again, "The master boiled the tonic in the morning."

"Still have to drink it." Gu Anxi muttered softly, and the aunt tenderly knocked on her little head, "He said before he left, that I have to make sure you drink it up."

Gu Anxi responded with an "Oh," and the aunt patted her again: "Good girl."

After saying that, she skillfully went to the kitchen and brought out the tonic and breakfast together. Gu Anxi held her nose and drank it, making "mm mm" sounds after finishing, "I finished it."

The aunt immediately poured her some milk, "Here, to wash it down, I also made your favorite golden cake. You can play after eating."

Gu Anxi’s mouth was stuffed full, "I have to go to the company today."

The aunt was a bit surprised, "Going out this early?"

She whispered, "The madam said girls shouldn’t work so hard."

Gu Anxi lightly coughed, "Actually, it’s fine."

After finishing her breakfast, she left, receiving a phone call in the car. It was none other than Zhou Yunchen.

After listening, Gu Anxi was a bit incredulous, "She’s coming to Jiangcheng?"

Zhou Yunchen nodded, "Yes, the set is being built here, might be for a month."

Gu Anxi let out an "Oh," and then asked him, "Do you know if Chen Ming is coming over?"

Zhou Yunchen was surprised, and Gu Anxi smiled mischievously, "Later, let Chen Ming look after her."

"You little rascal really knows how to climb the ladder." Zhou Yunchen laughed and scolded, then said, "Congwen’s pregnancy is quite advanced now, I have to take care of her, she can’t run around, as for Beauty, invite her to a meal occasionally, she’s not a child who needs looking after."

Saying he needed to take care of someone referred to Anxi, after all, Anxi’s health was poor and she was young. He only privately hoped his two sisters could be closer. Both of them didn’t have many people around, and their personalities were actually compatible.

This request, Gu Anxi did not refuse, nodding, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, she went to the company. Upon arriving, Secretary Tang was already waiting for her in the lobby.

Although Secretary Tang was just a secretary, she was fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs, and full of charisma—

Because of her closeness with Gu Anxi, rumors circulated from the Wang family about them often locking themselves away to play games, but they dared not confront Secretary Tang head-on.

Looking at Secretary Tang, Gu Anxi smiled, "Why do you come to pick me up so early?"

Secretary Tang took two steps forward, walking together towards the elevator. Her voice was slightly lowered, "That Dr. Lu is here again, he’s in the reception room now."

Gu Anxi frowned, "He’s here again?"

Really haunting like a ghost.
