Campus Ace Girl
Chapter 824 - 825: Uncle Bo and the Old Brother, Each Harboring Their Own Schemes
Bo Xichen’s little uncle went to the hospital. Gu Anxi was about to return to the Orchid Room to rest, but Madam Bo stopped her: "Don’t run back and forth, it’s tiring; just sleep at my place." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
The yard where Bo Nianyao and his wife live has a guest room, which was originally quite standard but has now been completely decorated into a girl’s room, making it convenient for the little darling to stay over at any time. However, there hasn’t been a chance, as Xichen watches people closely. Now, finally, there’s an opportunity, and Madam Bo naturally seizes it.
Gu Anxi responded with an "Oh," obediently following her.
Upon entering, her mouth dropped open in amazement. This was too dreamy, right? She had never stayed in such a girlish room before.
Madam Bo’s eyes sparkled with pride as she said, "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Gu Anxi climbed onto the round big bed and lay down, sighing comfortably.
Madam Bo took off her shoes, covered her with a small blanket, and leaned against the headboard with a small fan to cool her down. Coupled with the structure of the room, it was quite cool without air conditioning.
Gu Anxi sighed comfortably again, perhaps because her biological mother was gone and being cared for so gently by an older woman made her heart soft. She cuddled up to Madam Bo’s belly, holding on possessively.
Madam Bo’s eyes and brows were gentle. She carefully fanned her and took care of her thoughtfully, completely forgetting about her son who had rushed back without any time difference... Sons can be a bit rough; Nian Yao once mentioned that Xichen can go two days without sleeping.
Under such care, Gu Anxi fell into a deep sleep...

At the hospital, when Bo Xichen appeared in the ward, Director Hao exclaimed in surprise, "Professor Bo, why are you back?"
"Had to return early due to some matters," Bo Xichen said with a faint smile.
Director Hao probably guessed it and didn’t ask more, just inquired about something else: "Where have you been these past few days? We didn’t hear about any schedule from the hospital."
Bo Xichen paused, smiled lightly, and said, "It’s personal business."
At this moment, King Jingyao, who had been napping, woke up, just in time to hear this and chuckled, "Xichen, did you have a secret lover outside?"
Bo Xichen shook his head, "How could I!"
He added, "With Anxi’s temperament, she might never forgive."
Not to mention a secret lover, even looking at others more could provoke her...
King Jingyao’s gaze was profound, then he leaned well against the headboard, "And where’s that little brat?"
The relationship between him and Bo Xichen was rather peaceful, as if nothing had happened. After all, they were both men, one with a supernal status, and the other also well-known, not wanting to make a joke of themselves to others.
And that day, the fierce kick King Jingyao gave Gu Anxi was not only out of anger, but also because he couldn’t fall out with anyone else, only rushing at his own sister... but now, the relationship was truly strained.
As he asked, Bo Xichen naturally answered in detail, "She returned to Si Garden; my mother is taking care of her."
Upon hearing this, the older brother felt more and more uncomfortable inside. There really were many who cared for her, so what about him? And now, seizing the time when that little brat wasn’t around, he started discussing other matters with Bo Xichen, but still felt uneasy: "By the way, Xichen, William from Huaer Laboratory insists on meeting you, saying that he wants to collaborate with the Cloud He Group and wants you to contribute funds and efforts. I suppose you would refuse, right?"
He desperately wished Bo Xichen would refuse, because once he took over, there would be nothing left for him, and he particularly valued this project.
Under his expectant gaze, Bo Xichen softly spoke, "I do intend to refuse. Cloud He Group has no such plans for the time being."
The older brother felt his plan had succeeded, his mouth slightly opened, but after a while, he also felt uneasy.
Wasn’t this refusal too swift?
If Jiang Chaoge and his team of incompetents couldn’t handle it, what then?
With a shrewd, experienced gaze, he intentionally tested him, so he gently coughed and said, "You can consider it. Meeting a person wouldn’t hurt, especially since he’s the son of your former mentor, having come all this way just to personally discuss with you."
