Campus Ace Girl

Ever since Bo Xichen said so, Gu Anxi had been uneasy, secretly touching her belly to confirm if there were two children.

Later, she couldn’t help but speak up, "Uncle, why can’t I feel two of them?"

Bo Xichen laughed and, while driving, casually said: "If you can feel them... then..."

He didn’t say anything more, just smiled again.

Gu Anxi responded with an "oh," obediently sat there, occasionally glancing at her belly. Later, perhaps because the car was so warm, she hugged the things in her arms tightly and fell asleep.

Bo Xichen’s car arrived at the Wang Family mansion, and it so happened that the family was all there. In the afternoon, King Jingyao hadn’t gone to the office, even Wang Jingchuan was there, saying he wanted to share some of the joy.

The car stopped, Bo Xichen got out, opened the back door, and patted Gu Anxi’s face, "We’re here."

As he spoke, he helped her put on a coat.

She woke up, softly called his name, and then rubbed her eyes.

Bo Xichen kissed her forehead, "Alright, stop being cute, are you hungry?"

"A little." She smiled sheepishly, then got out of the car herself.

Bo Xichen took the gifts from the trunk and walked with her toward the hall. Before they even reached it, King Jingyao came forward with Lin Hua to greet them: "Finally here, I thought you’d abandon us and not come back from Jiang City."

Lin Hua tilted her head, smiled, and looked at Gu Anxi with a bit of heartache: "Tired, huh? Quickly, go eat, the elders are waiting, and rest well after eating."

Now that she’s the sister-in-law, she naturally has the authority to lecture Bo Xichen a bit: "Look, taking Anxi around everywhere with you, and you don’t even feel sorry for her."

"It’s my oversight." Bo Xichen smiled faintly, patting his little wife’s head, and handed the gifts to King Jingyao.

King Jingyao noticed the teddy bear in Gu Anxi’s hand, "That’s nice."

Gu Anxi held onto it and wouldn’t let go, King Jingyao laughed, "Your sister Lin Hua also likes these little things recently."

Perhaps all pregnant women are like that.

Lin Hua gave him a sidelong glance, and King Jingyao laughed again, "Why so shy? In my mind, you’re both just young girls like Anxi."

Having said that, he smoothed his wife’s hair and helped her adjust her woolen shawl, very attentively.

Lin Hua was a bit moved, looked up at him.

"Alright, let’s eat, the elders miss their precious darling." Saying this, the older brother led them into the opulent hall, one on each hand.

The elders hadn’t seen her in a long time, naturally, they were affectionate, but the grandmother was attentive and didn’t neglect the daughter-in-law, treating all her children-in-law fairly, and after dinner sent the two upstairs to rest.

Bo Xichen stayed behind to discuss matters with King Jingyao. As they were talking, Wang Jingchuan stepped out, and when he returned he softly said, "Chen Ming is here."

Wang Jingchuan was surprised, "Chen Ming? Why is he here so late?"

Just as he was speaking, Chen Ming entered, carrying some snow on him, suggesting it was snowing outside again.

King Jingyao knocked his pipe, "Why did you come over? Did something happen?"

Chen Ming nodded, "Yes, something happened."

He hesitated before speaking, "Lu Ze and Jiang Bin both committed suicide."

King Jingyao was stunned, immediately standing up, "Suicide?"

Chen Ming bowed his head, "It’s my lack of supervision, I’m willing to accept any punishment."

King Jingyao glared at him.

Then Bo Xichen spoke, "The Lu Family was originally built on drug dealing."

King Jingyao’s expression softened a bit, turning his head, "Xichen, you always help this kid."

Then he nodded himself, "Good that they’re dead. Did they confess everything?"

Chen Ming nodded and handed over a file, "These are all the testimonies."

King Jingyao smoked with one hand, holding the document with the other, and after a long look, he put it down and said lightly, "Those two were smart, thinking they could save their family assets by dying."

The Secretary-General looked at him.

King Jingyao put the documents aside, "Jingchuan, you handle this matter."

With that, he leaned back into his chair, "Do what’s necessary, but don’t be too ruthless, what’s left can’t cause a stir."

Wang Jingchuan agreed, then King Jingyao asked, "Did Zhou Yunchen come to work today?"

The Secretary-General was immediately at a loss, after a long moment, he said, "Well, Mr. Zhou said he took leave today to stay home with the kids."

Wang Jingchuan immediately got angry, pounding the table, "Who’s family doesn’t have kids? Do I not have them? Does Xichen not have them? Or Min Xin?"

Thinking about it, he was somewhat comforted, "Min Xin, after becoming a father, works hard to earn money for formula, never complaining even when exhausted."

The Secretary-General immediately flattered him, "He’s repaying you with this effort."

King Jingyao snorted, "Do I need his repayment? He can’t even manage his own family’s affairs, he’s trying to win me over, hoping I’ll speak well of him to Zhou Yu."

At this, everyone laughed.

King Jingyao, ever a master at lightening the mood, ended it gracefully, knowing Chen Ming had endured a hard stretch of days, patted his shoulder, "Alright, what’s done is done, go get a good rest."

Chen Ming paused, "Okay."

As he left, King Jingyao looked thoughtfully at the door, "Does he still see Zhou Yunchen’s sister at all? At his age, personal matters should have been settled."

Wang Jingchuan chuckled, "Wasn’t there a past with the wife’s distant kin, named Zhou Su, but after the girl followed him to Jiang City, things went sour, and it’s said that was when Zhou’s sister happened to be in Jiang City too."

King Jingyao laughed, "This Chen Ming, clearly can’t let go of her in his heart."

With that said, the topic was dropped, and he turned to Bo Xichen, "Xichen, you have to stay and play chess with me, let Anxi chat with her sister Lin Hua, there’s much she doesn’t know, her sister-in-law should teach her well."

Bo Xichen naturally agreed, and thus they spent the night discussing various topics...

Upstairs, Lin Hua and Gu Anxi chatted for a long time, by eleven PM, seeing King Jingyao hadn’t come up, guessing her husband wouldn’t return, she simply invited Anxi to sleep with her.

Anxi liked her very much, also liked to act cuddly... when sleeping together, Anxi curled up beside Lin Hua on her side.

In the dark, Lin Hua suddenly spoke, "Anxi, thank you."

Gu Anxi was taken aback.

Lin Hua whispered, "Thanks for Feng Sheng."

She knew Feng Sheng was still alive, knew he received treatment later... that’s enough, she’s a smart woman, knowing that too much entanglement with Feng Sheng is bad for everyone.

Gu Anxi softly responded, "Oh, that."

She spoke quietly again, "I didn’t really do much."

Lin Hua stroked her hair, "You’ve helped a lot."
