Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 714 - 715: Being Childish at a Time Like This?

Wang Jingchuan laughed, "So, did you like the movie?"

Wang Yuan laughed along, "Doctor Bo was quite cute."

At those words, everyone looked at Bo Xichen, automatically associating him with Da Hui.

"Da Hui" might be a heartwarming, healing 2D animation, but it also contained some... indescribable scenes between Da Hui and Miss Rabbit. It’s said that these weren’t originally there, but Disney later strongly insisted on adding a romantic subplot.

Those scenes were quite titillating.

Bo Xichen smiled faintly, looking at Gu Anxi with gentle grace. "Cute, was I?"

Gu Anxi mouthed two words back to him, making everyone around them ache with envy.

Afterward, everyone waited for midnight. However, Zhou Yu, being pregnant, couldn’t stay up late and whispered that she would head back first.

Gu Anxi had wanted her to stay, but seeing Min Xin suddenly perk up, she didn’t object and offered to walk Zhou Yu to the Si Garden gate.

Just as the two women stepped out, Min Xin adjusted his clothes and followed. Wang Yuan called out to him several times from behind, but Min Xin pretended not to hear. Wang Yuan wanted to go after them, but Wang Jingchuan grabbed his arm. "Weren’t we going to make a bet? If you leave now, who am I supposed to bet with?"

Wang Yuan gave a wry smile. "Hasn’t Mr. Min already left?"

"He’s just following someone else; he hasn’t really left," Wang Jingchuan reasoned as he pulled Wang Yuan back to his seat and personally poured him a glass of wine. "Think about it. If those two are alone in the car later, they’ll surely have some private matters to discuss. What would it look like if you went along and were stuck in the middle? Besides, you know Zhou Yu’s personality. Aren’t you just deliberately trying to make Mr. Min uncomfortable? The wine is still flowing, and I see you haven’t had much to drink today. It’s rare for us to get together properly, so I can’t let you go without a few more rounds."

Left with no choice, Wang Yuan could only join him for drinks.

Meanwhile, Gu Anxi walked Zhou Yu to the car. The driver got out to open the door for Zhou Yu. Gu Anxi gave a few instructions and then assigned several men to follow in another car to ensure Zhou Yu’s safety.

Zhou Yu waved from the car window. "Anxi, I’m heading home now."

Gu Anxi nodded. Just as she was about to close the car door, a figure approached. "I’ll see her off."

Gu Anxi glanced sideways at him. "Mr. Min?"

Min Xin, who had a few drinks and was a bit tipsy, patted Gu Anxi’s shoulder, feigning displeasure. "Look at you, still being so formal calling me ’Mr. Min.’ From now on, just call me ’Elder Brother’ like Jingyao does."

Gu Anxi chuckled. "There should be some distinction, right? ’Elder Brother Two’... wouldn’t that sound rather odd?"

Min Xin glared at her. "Cheeky!"

He got into the car, then leaned halfway out. "Later, I’ll arrange a private screening of your movie. Setting other things aside, I can still manage that much."

Gu Anxi, hands in her pockets, replied, "Then thank you, Mr. Min."

Min Xin suddenly felt his warm enthusiasm met by her cold indifference, as if pressing a warm cheek against a cold, hard apple. However, he wasn’t angry; he forgave her simply because she was letting Zhou Yu leave with him.

Min Xin was thoroughly content.

Gu Anxi personally closed the car door for them, her voice a soft whisper. "Drive safe."

Once done, she took two steps back.

The car door closed. Zhou Yu, feeling a bit tired, leaned her head to the side to rest.

Min Xin didn’t disturb her. After a moment, he quietly gestured to the driver.

The driver understood instantly and, at the upcoming fork in the road, turned the car towards the villa where Min Xin lived—which was once their shared home.

The car swayed gently, and Zhou Yu stirred a little. "Min Xin?"

Min Xin put an arm around her shoulders. "I’m here."

Zhou Yu shifted slightly and looked outside. "This isn’t the way to my place, is it?"

Min Xin, his hands resting on his lap, smiled faintly. "Tonight, we’re going to our home."

Zhou Yu bit her lip. "I’m not going back with you. We’re divorced."

She turned her head away, refusing to look at him. Far from being angry, Min Xin found this rather amusing. He leaned closer, his voice low, "Still angry with me?"

He added, "You’re nearly forty and about to be a mother again. Why act so childish at a time like this?"

Zhou Yu bit her lip, her voice tight and low, "Min Xin!"

It was clear that she was truly angry this time.

Ordinarily, Min Xin, ever the devoted admirer, would likely have coaxed her and taken her home. But tonight, he’d had a bit too much to drink and missed her terribly. So, regardless of her cold expression, he didn’t tell the driver to change course, resolutely taking her back to the villa where they used to live.

Zhou Yu’s pregnancy wasn’t yet obvious, and she was still quite agile as she got out of the car. The moment she stepped out, Min Xin swept her into his arms. "I’ll carry you."

He added, "Women carrying a child are very precious."

He was over forty, an age when a man is often at his most charming, and still relatively young and strong. Although Zhou Yu was tall, she was very thin. After holding her for a moment, he murmured hoarsely, "Why are you as light as a feather?"

Witnessing this scene, the driver felt goosebumps erupt all over and quickly drove the car away...
