Over there, in his car, Professor He spotted Professor Gao with his sharp eyes.
Professor He was genuinely disappointed in him. Endlessly treating mediocre work as if it was a treasure, had he come all the way to Beicheng just to ruin his reputation completely?
After all, he was his junior apprentice brother. Regardless, Professor He still felt he should see him.
The car came to a halt, and Professor He got out first. Bo Xichen turned and said, "I’ll get out. You stay in the car."
Gu Anxi was about to speak when he added, "It’s cold in the mountains at night. Be good."
With that, he opened the car door, got out, and walked with Professor He toward the other car.
When they met again, the moods of those in the other car were incredibly complex. Professor He’s status alone was already formidable, and Bo Xichen likely possessed an even more extraordinarily prestigious one.
Professor Gao’s mouth moved, but he was unable to utter a single word.
Even someone with Qin Siling’s ostentatious personality seemed to have lost much of her usual arrogance. Shen Wanqing, however, spoke lightly and gracefully, appearing perfectly composed, "Good evening, Professor He. Hello, Professor Bo." The source of this content ɪs 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
Professor He gave a faint smile and couldn’t help but glance at Bo Xichen.
Heh, this young lady is quite astute. Clearly, her aim isn’t the wine itself. The Qin family has given her so much; do they know she’s thinking of cuckolding Qin Siyuan?
Shen Wanqing spoke again, "Professor Bo, didn’t Anxi come to Beicheng with you? Why don’t I see her? If it’s possible, I’d love to explore Beicheng with her. Anxi must be quite lonely by herself."
Now, it wasn’t just Professor He; even Qin Siling sensed that something was off.
Something’s not right! Why is Shen Wanqing so persistently trying to curry favor with Bo Xichen? Don’t tell me our Qin family fed her and clothed her, only to raise an ungrateful wolf?
If she didn’t still have a use for Shen Wanqing, Qin Siling would have already torn this vile woman’s mouth apart for her brother. Let’s see if she could still spout elegant words to seduce men then! Did Shen Wanqing think she was invisible?
Just as Qin Siling was about to explode, Gu Anxi got out of the car. Holding Bo Xichen’s phone, she ran over to him, calling out, "You have a call!"
"Didn’t I tell you it’s cold in the mountains? And you still got out!" Bo Xichen chided her. Then, glancing at the caller ID, he saw it was an important call. While answering it, he took off his overcoat and draped it over Gu Anxi’s shoulders, one arm naturally holding her close. He quickly finished the call and hung up.
Watching the scene unfold before her, Shen Wanqing felt her inner jealousy completely overshadow any envy.
Professor Bo was the most handsome man she had ever met. Moreover, the Bo family’s power seemed to far surpass that of the Qin family. This magnificent, palace-like house was Professor Bo’s home... She hardly dared to imagine what life would be like if she married into the Bo family.
Her face suddenly turned a suspicious shade of red.
Actually, it wasn’t impossible. Qin Siyuan had adored Gu Anxi so much back then, but hadn’t he later become her boyfriend?
Her thoughts were rather optimistic, but Bo Xichen extinguished them with a single sentence: "I’ll accompany her. There’s no need to trouble you, Miss Shen."
Bo Xichen was generally courteous towards women, but he truly couldn’t bring himself to say anything complimentary about this "white lotus" before him, so his tone was far from gentle.
Shen Wanqing naturally sensed his coolness. Her eyes reddened slightly, and she silently suppressed her feelings for the time being. Qin Siling, however, shot her a disdainful glance, sneering inwardly—
Someone like Shen Wanqing, dreaming of marrying into the Bo family? She’s truly delusional!
After Bo Xichen spoke, he assertively escorted Gu Anxi back to the car. Though his demeanor was understated, any discerning eye could see how much he treasured her.
