Chapter 949: Chapter 948: Can’t You Let Him Go?

Bo Xichen smiled slightly: "It’s nothing! Just thinking of some things." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He reached out to stroke her hair, closed his eyes, thinking about what happened tonight, linking things together front and back.

He was lost in thought, and Gu Anxi dared not disturb him, obediently snuggling in his arms.

Later, as time went by, she got a little sleepy and slowly closed her eyes.

When Bo Xichen finished thinking, he looked down and saw the little one had fallen asleep, her small hand resting on his chest, her head adorably nudged up to him.

He lowered his head, kissed her hair, wanted to move her to bed, but as soon as he moved, the little one’s head started nudging frantically again... His heart felt warm, looking at the little head, kissed it again, not knowing what to do.

Holding her in this position, almost lulling her to sleep, he rested his eyes too. Around two in the morning, Gu Anxi suddenly woke up, opened her eyes and found herself and her uncle lying on the sofa. She crawled over, reached out to touch his chin, "Uncle, why didn’t you wake me?"

"You were holding on so tight." He laughed, lying flat, placing her well, and casually adjusted the small blanket, without any intention of going back to the bedroom to sleep.

Gu Anxi comfortably lay there, actually wanting to sleep again, but feeling reluctant, so she chatted intermittently, only falling asleep after about ten minutes...

Night deepened.

It was warm as spring here, but elsewhere, it was like severe cold and scorching heat.

Lu Ze returned to the hotel, sat on the sofa without saying a word, with Lu Heng standing beside him.

Lu Ze looked at his son: "Did your mom go to bed?"

Lu Heng, having been slapped, felt uncomfortable, hands in pockets, replied flatly: "She normally sleeps at ten."

Mrs. Lu was very fond of maintaining her beauty.

Lu Ze looked at his son, sneered: "Didn’t she play cards until midnight the other day? Still in someone else’s room."

Lu Heng was momentarily stunned.

Lu Ze slightly tilted his head, took a puff of his cigarette, and said: "Your mother had a thing with Bo Nianyao when she was young, didn’t you know?"

"That I truly didn’t know." Lu Heng spoke softly, somewhat puzzled by his father’s meaning, knowing the father could have stopped it, why didn’t he?

Lu Ze laughed coldly: "Bo Nianyao is very insidious, the Lin Family is big and wealthy, also valued by Wang Jingyao. Lin Yun is like a talisman for him. How dare he betray Lin Yun? Your mom was just an orphan adopted by our Lu Family."

Lu Heng’s face darkened; with father speaking like this, his status didn’t seem prestigious.

Lu Ze had a deep affection for Lu Xueman, but Mrs. Lu... EMMM, she liked him too, though she had a flaw hoping all the men in the world adored her, especially Bo Nianyao.

At the mention of Bo Nianyao, Lu Ze’s face turned terribly grim. After a moment, he changed the subject, asking his son: "What did you see in that lab?"

Lu Heng’s lips pressed tightly, after a while, he spoke: "Probably it’s also a Huaer Laboratory project!"

"How could they have the data?" Lu Ze squinted: "You need to ask that junior sister of yours, she seems unreliable."

Lu Heng shook his head: "It wasn’t her who leaked it."

He paused: "At that time, Huaer Laboratory reported the data leak. To my knowledge, Gu Anxi is the premier hacker in the country, known as KING."

Lu Ze immediately stood up, slapped the table hard: "So that’s how it is."

He thought for a moment and said: "Then, Lu Heng, follow this lead carefully, if you find evidence, the Bo Family is finished. If they don’t want to be finished, they’ll have to give up Gu Anxi. Once she’s in our hands, you can do whatever you please with her."

Lu Heng was a bit surprised, "Dad!?"

Lu Ze waved his hand, sat down slowly, not taking it seriously: "Women, having one more doesn’t count. I just acted that way earlier, she’s already the Bo Family’s, your attitude was bad."

He squinted his eyes and said again: "If this thread can pull down the Wangs, it would be best. Last time, Feng Sheng’s affair had hurt their roots."

Lu Heng’s expression also darkened, after a while he whispered: "I understand."

Lu Ze took a sip of tea, saying nonchalantly: "If you can’t find evidence, don’t worry. We can sue them for patent infringement once they produce it."

Lu Heng nodded: "Yes."

Lu Ze glanced at his son: "It’s time to handle serious business, the experiment needs to be done quickly. Also, we need to win over the Wang Family in Jiangcheng. That old man is hard to deal with, start with his son. We need to take down the Wang Family, if necessary... Lu Heng, you know what to do."

Lu Heng’s gaze turned increasingly complex...

After entrusting the matters, Lu Ze returned to the bedroom. Surprisingly, Mrs. Lu hadn’t slept, leaning on the sofa, tending to her face.

Lu Ze sat beside her with a faint smile: "Why aren’t you sleeping?"

Lu Xueman put down the skincare products in her hand, leaned forward, and pressed her lips together before speaking: "Lu Ze, are you planning to deal with Nian Yao?"

Lu Ze crossed his legs and glanced at his wife, "Feeling reluctant now? It’s been so many years, and you’re still calling him Nian Yao, Nian Yao. He might have long forgotten about you."

Mrs. Lu seemed a bit upset, "I was just asking, and here you go with your sarcastic comments again."

Just as she was about to leave, Lu Ze grabbed her chin, his expression carrying a sinister smile, "You better not let me find out you and Bo Nianyao are up to something dubious again. His heart is all about power; he wouldn’t care for an orphan like you."

After saying that, he abruptly released her and went to the bathroom.

Over the years, their marriage has been neither good nor bad, seemingly affectionate but actually each harbors a thorn in their hearts.

He confessed too late; she had already been with Bo Nianyao for a while, and though she has always liked him, yet... sometimes, an orphan girl doesn’t dare to pursue a high and mighty young master, even now, he thinks little of her.

Mrs. Lu leaned on the sofa, feeling colder all over... (She thought about playing cards~~)

Early in the morning, Gu Anxi hadn’t woken up yet when she heard a knock on the bedroom door, she mumbled softly while lying down: "Is it Bo Dad?"

Bo Uncle wasn’t fully awake either, his voice hoarse: "I’ll go check."

He sat up, glanced down, and saw a small patch of drool on the shirt at his chest; there was no need to guess who was responsible for that little deed, he smiled wryly and went to open the door...

The door opened, it was quite surprising, not Bo Nianyao, but Qin Siyuan and Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu’s eyes widened, her mouth agape, and she unconsciously called out Brother Xichen.

Bo Xichen was also a bit surprised, immediately took a step back, buttoned up his shirt, but that patch of drool couldn’t be wiped off.

Gu Mingzhu still stared intently, whispered: "You guys sleep so tightly holding each other? Isn’t Gu Anxi suffocating?"

Qin Siyuan’s expression was somewhat uncomfortable, he paused: "That’s their personal business."

Bo Xichen didn’t mind and chuckled: "It’s alright!"

He guessed Gu Mingzhu’s intention and opened the door: "Anxi is inside, you can talk to her."

He then invited Qin Siyuan to the study for a cup of coffee.

Qin Siyuan didn’t go inside, just glanced at the corner of the bedroom, Gu Anxi was still in yesterday’s clothes, her hair a mess while lying on the sofa, obviously had made do on the sofa for the night.

He withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes, and agreed with Bo Xichen, the two men left the bedroom for the study.

Meanwhile, Gu Mingzhu rushed into the bedroom, Gu Anxi still lay there, and she angrily tugged at her: "Gu Anxi, are you seriously not going to get up?"

Gu Anxi turned over, somewhat helpless: "What’s wrong early in the morning, weren’t you satisfied last night?"

With her words like that, Gu Mingzhu’s face flushed slightly, she shouted: "You really have no shame, I’m not like you at all."

"Eh, if you like Qin Siyuan you’d really be double standard." Gu Anxi sat up and scratched her head: "Drooling every day."

Gu Mingzhu glared at her, her eyes slightly red.

Gu Anxi coughed lightly: "Big sis, don’t be like this, okay? I’m most afraid of you being like this."

Gu Mingzhu bit her lip: "Gu Anxi, I don’t want to follow someone else! I want to come back."

"I thought you were back to get your luggage." Gu Anxi watched her closely, said softly: "If you don’t want to follow Qin Siyuan, I’ll charter a plane to take you back to Beicheng, let brother take care of you."

Gu Mingzhu wasn’t willing.

Gu Anxi smiled faintly, her hand gently covering her heart, said: "The wounds here haven’t fully healed, and I don’t know what will happen next. Gu Mingzhu, you being around me now, does this show you kind of like me a bit?"

It was impossible for Gu Mingzhu to admit, she stubbornly refused.

Gu Anxi sighed lightly: "Then I’ll take it you like me a bit, so shouldn’t you hope I live longer? With you around me, I’ll either be annoyed to death or implicated to death, I really don’t want to take another bullet for you."

Gu Mingzhu’s lips trembled slightly, took a while before saying: "You would really take a bullet for me?"

"Idiot." Gu Anxi disdainfully kicked her: "How could you be so dumb, it doesn’t make sense, even with my leftover house, the quality shouldn’t be like this!"

Gu Mingzhu felt instantly hurt, shouted: "You despise me!"
