Campus Ace Girl

Bo Madame was still upset, but she also truly wanted to appease Wang Family’s second uncle, so she warmly insisted he stay a bit longer.

Wang Kegui naturally declined politely, and at that moment, Old Bo softly grumbled, "Lin Yun, this girl, I’m not saying much here, but at your age, you should understand people’s affairs. You and Nian Yao have gotten used to being together all these years, but you’re just full while others are starving. It’s been over ten years, and they’re finally managing to be together, but if you keep tearing them apart, what’s the point? Besides, Beicheng isn’t the only place with housing, Xiao Lin also has a place to stay, right? There’s nothing wrong with wanting some couple time, so why do you insist on being a meddler, isn’t that annoying?"

Madame Bo was hit by this barrage, but she didn’t get angry. She then looked toward Wang Kegui.

Wang Kegui’s face flushed slightly, a little embarrassed. As an experienced person, Madame Bo immediately understood and just smiled, "The old man certainly has a point."

She then said to Wang Kegui, "No need to rush off. After all, you’re planning to settle things with Lin Shuang, and whatever the Wang Family’s attitude is, it’s none of our business. However, our old man is quite a close friend with you, and since Lin Shuang is from Anxi, if you two are serious about being together, shouldn’t you let it be known formally?"

She pondered for a moment, "In the evening, bring Lin Shuang over to Si Garden, we’ll set up a couple of tables and invite our close friends for a meal."

Wang Kegui hurriedly said, "That’s too much trouble."

Madame Bo replied like a spring breeze, "Oh, it’s no trouble at all. After all, Anxi’s old brother and sister-in-law and the elderly lady are coming over to see the two children, so they might as well join us for dinner."

Wang Kegui didn’t quite catch on right away and asked, "Pardon me, but who does the old brother refer to?"

"Oh, that’s Mr. Wang," Madame Bo smiled lightly, "With Mr. Wang as your witness, no one will dare gossip in the future."

Wang Kegui was stunned, unable to process it for a long time.

After a while, he asked a bit uneasily, "If Mr. Wang comes, should we perhaps avoid him?"

"Avoid what? Technically, you’re still his elder," Madame Bo chuckled.

This made Wang Kegui weak-kneed, how could he dare to consider himself Mr. Wang’s elder...

Later, after Madame Bo spoke to him a bit more, he reluctantly agreed and called Lin Shuang to pick her up in the afternoon...Gu Anxi was also at home, and she snatched her over to play with the kids.

Over these days, Lin Shuang became quite familiar with her, but most of their time together was spent talking about work.

When Little Gu talks business, she’s not particularly gentle, always hitting the mark, but at this moment, Lin Shuang saw her leaning over the baby’s crib, holding Bo An An’s tiny fingers, and she looked just like a girl in her twenties.

Lin Shuang felt a bit dazed, as if she mistook her for someone else, and Gu Anxi smiled at her, "Do you like kids?"

Lin Shuang looked at the well-behaved Bo Xin, and her voice couldn’t help but soften, whispering, "I guess I do like them quite a bit."

Gu Anxi followed her gaze and then knowingly remarked, "Actually, my second uncle’s genes are quite good too."

Lin Shuang: ...

Gu Anxi played with Bo An An again and then whispered, "If you want to be together, don’t hesitate anymore, you’ve already missed all these years."

Those were the most beautiful years of life.

Lin Shuang smiled lightly.

Then Gu Anxi suddenly said, "Actually, when you were working part-time and studying abroad, it was my second uncle who asked someone to find you the job, and the salary wasn’t that high, but he supplemented most of it. It wasn’t him who showed up, it was his friend overseas, searching all over France for you."

Lin Shuang was stunned, for a long while, she softly asked, "Did he tell you that?"

Gu Anxi shook her head, "No, I found out myself."

Her voice was slightly hoarse, "About fifteen years ago, for four years, he kept sending money to an account. I later did some calculations, just when you officially graduated and established yourself, he stopped. After that, he probably didn’t interfere in your life anymore... Also, at that time he had a child, maybe he wanted to be a good husband and father, but he and Gu Xiufen weren’t meant to be together."

After a brief stupor, Lin Shuang looked at Gu Anxi and softly asked, "Are you helping him help me because Gu Xiufen harmed you, or purely because you want to help your second uncle?"

At that moment, Bo An An’s little face suddenly turned red, and her brow furrowed, then she began to cry.

Gu Anxi picked her up, gently changing her diaper while softly saying, "Does it matter? It doesn’t... What’s important is that you and second uncle both want to live together, and they, they’ve already divorced."

It’s really just that simple, if you insist on making it complicated and overthinking everything, life will be exhausting.

Gu Anxi’s focus has always been on her Uncle Bo, other people don’t catch her attention much, so her happiness is incredibly strong.

After Lin Shuang listened, she pondered for quite a while, then gently smiled, "Anxi, you’re right."

Gu Anxi also smiled slightly, "As long as you’re enlightened, that’s all that matters."

The two continued talking, all the way till evening, when the Wang family’s cars arrived, along with bodyguards amounting to six cars in total. However, when they reached Si Garden, King Jingyao dismissed them, bringing only his parents and wife inside, followed by Zhou Yunchen, Wang Jingchuan, and Chen Ming.

Bo Xichen happened to rush back from the hospital, thoroughly hospitable, while Wang Kegui stood beside, quite restrained.

Such an occasion, it was his first experience.

King Jingyao drank half a cup of tea, and after putting the teacup down, he said, "Let’s go see the two kids, Lin Hua has been talking about them for days."

Madame Bo smiled, "Alright, let’s head over."

The group headed towards Lan Courtyard.

With King Jingyao’s special status, naturally, a crowd surrounded him, though he didn’t forget Wang Kegui, chatting as they walked, "I heard from Anxi that you’re dating Xiao Lin from her company?"

Wang Kegui suddenly being addressed, felt somewhat awkward.

Old Bo chimed in, "What’s there to be shy about? You’re over forty, haven’t you seen it all?"

Wang Kegui wiped his sweat, "Yes, we’re planning to be together, but ultimately, it’s up to her choice."

King Jingyao burst into laughter, "A man can’t shrink back, can’t be afraid."

He added, "You also can’t spoil women too much, otherwise, they’ll be wishy-washy, who knows when it’s going to end. If you ask me, be a little more assertive and just get married, then take things one step at a time."

Wang Kegui was stunned; with a thousand thoughts, he never imagined that King Jingyao would offer such advice.

Not daring to utter a sound, Wang Jingyao looked at him, then laughed, "Alright, alright, it’s your matter, make your own decisions, but if you face any issues, feel free to come to me. With me around, I bet even your dad wouldn’t dare do anything to you."

Wang Kegui thanked him.

With that, King Jingyao dropped the topic, as the group entered the nursery room.

It happened to be right after the two children had eaten, lying in the small baby crib, awake, their eyes round and black as beads, watching people, and they were so beautifully born that Lin Hua couldn’t help but adore them, repeatedly asking, "Which one is the brother, which one is the sister?"

Gu Anxi smiled: "The pink little bed is An An’s, and the blue one is Bo Xin’s."

Lin Hua was both surprised and delighted: "But you can’t really tell."

She then glanced at her husband, complaining: "Look, Bo Xin is a boy too, but he’s so delicate. Ours is much rougher, I’m afraid it’ll be hard for him to find a wife in the future."

Wang Jingyao carefully observed Bo Xin, then laughed: "He is indeed more delicate than ours, but Lin Hua, are you implying that I’m rough-looking?"

Lin Hua blushed: "I didn’t say that."

Wang Jingyao continued: "Being a bit rough does have its advantages, like not having so many women out there thinking about you, isn’t that right, Bo Xin?"

Lin Hua gave him a side-eye, thinking he was quite shameless.

Speaking of women thinking, who could compare to him?

Old Wang Brother was always tolerant of his wife’s emotions, and even gave a signal to little Anxi, asking her to help soothe them.

When everyone returned to the hall, Lin Hua stayed with Gu Anxi.

She really liked children, and given that her own little tyrant was so unruly, she especially envied Gu Anxi’s pair of twins.

Each holding one baby, they rocked them to sleep in no time...

Reluctantly, Lin Hua had to put the children down, as nurses were watching over them, and the two went to the living room to chat.

It had been several months since Lin Hua had given birth, and she had recovered well. With Old Wang Brother’s care and nourishment, she looked quite radiant.

Gu Anxi had someone pour her a cup of hot milk tea, while she got one for herself too, and sat down. She asked softly: "How have things been lately?"

Half a year ago, before giving birth, Lin Hua often suffered from insomnia. Gu Anxi roughly guessed she had concerns, but had no way to solve them. She could only force herself to sleep with great willpower, and was unsure of her recent condition.

When asked, Lin Hua’s fingers holding the cup trembled slightly, then she smiled: "Things have been pretty good. Maybe because the baby causes a fuss every day. You wouldn’t believe how little sleep I get, always feeling like the baby will wake up for a milk formula any minute."

Gu Anxi smiled: "The old brother doesn’t get up?"

"He does, he takes care a lot, especially during the nights in the first few months. But..." Lin Hua’s voice softened: "But he is nearing fifty, always so busy with work, where would he have much energy? He lost quite a bit in those first six months, so of course, I avoid troubling him with the baby. If I can wake up, I’ll take care of it."

Gu Anxi nodded, then said: "You can find someone to help care."

Lin Hua shook her head: "Maybe when they’re a bit older. Actually, the baby makes me sleep better at night."

Gu Anxi said nothing further.

Lin Hua hesitated a moment before saying: "Anxi, Feng Sheng hasn’t shown up again."

Gu Anxi raised her eyes.

She knew that a month after Lin Hua’s delivery, she received a gift, rather expensive, without knowing who sent it, but later guessed it was from Feng Sheng.

He didn’t show up himself, but the gift arrived.

Wang Jingyao likely guessed it too, but pretended not to know. Gu Anxi couldn’t help but admire his remarkable patience.

At the same time, she sighed; even for a man like Old Brother, sometimes he has to endure for the sake of the big picture. Actually, not only Old Brother, but even she herself was unsure if Lin Hua still had Feng Sheng in her heart.

To say she never loved him is unrealistic and self-deceptive. They had emotions when Feng Sheng ran into trouble, and then so much happened afterward, making Lin Hua completely let go... As a woman, Gu Anxi thought it impossible, but with Feng Sheng appearing and disappearing, she didn’t know what he meant.

Even if Lin Hua had let go, had Feng Sheng really moved on?

But thinking doesn’t help, because that man hasn’t shown up again for nearly half a year.

She gently spoke: "He hasn’t shown up, so let it be. Sister Lin Hua, live in the present. Even if he appears later, then think about what to do, consider how you’ll act then. Don’t think too much about what’ll happen in the future, or you’re just tormenting yourself."

Lin Hua nodded.

Gu Anxi stood up: "Alright, let’s go eat together. Tonight we’re celebrating Uncle Wen Ding."

Lin Hua laughed: "Really? Whose idea was it?"

Gu Anxi shook her head: "Who else but Bo Mama and the Old Man?"

She wrinkled her little nose, then added: "They’re probably quite bored too. Uncle lives in Si Garden and he’s pitiful, the Old Man wants to see him every day, always teasing him."

Lin Hua thought it amusing.

Gu Anxi continued: "But I realized, my second uncle is truly pure and conservative."

She casually mentioned it, and Lin Hua found it incredible: "Really?"

Gu Anxi laughed: "Of course it’s true."

Lin Hua praised: "It’s not easy to reconnect after all these years. Lin Shuang must have her admirable traits."

Gu Anxi stopped in her tracks, suddenly saying: "Even so, but if it were me, I might not choose Uncle again."

Lin Hua patted her hand: "How could your temper be unknown to me? If it were someone like Xichen, you’d probably not return either, nor give him a chance to see you, letting him regret it for life."

Gu Anxi shook her head: "No. I would search for a better man next instead. As for the previous man, I wouldn’t care how well or poorly he’s doing because it’s no longer my concern."

The more Lin Hua listened, the more she sensed something odd. After a while, she slowly said: "Are you planning something for me, warning me in advance?"

"How dare I? One word from you against me, Old Brother could scold me harshly." Gu Anxi stuck out her tongue, pretending to be afraid.

Lin Hua laughed and scolded: "Look, talking about ’sleepless nights.’ If I say anything wrong about you, your Old Brother would sure say: She’s young, and you follow; she’s crazy, and you follow; Lin Hua, how old is Anxi now, and how old are you?"

Gu Anxi laughed uncontrollably, even though it wouldn’t happen this way, Lin Hua’s imitation was accurate, truly talented.

The two chatted and laughed, arriving at the front hall together, where Wang Jingyao was holding a glass of wine, smiling amiably and saying to Chen Ming: "Look, Anxi’s uncle is celebrating his engagement, yet your personal issue remains unsolved. You should definitely seek Zhou Yunchen for advice, he’s always most resourceful."

Then Zhou Yunchen coldly replied: "I have no solutions."
