After saying that, she jumped down from the bed and started pacing back and forth, as though she wanted to wear out the floor.
Bo Xichen leaned gently against the bedside, watching her frantic pacing.
After a while, Gu Anxi stopped.
"Did you tell her? Does she know?"
"Bo Xichen, what are we going to do?"
"She said I shouldn’t casually be with men..."
Bo Xichen listened to her with a smile, then beckoned her over. Gu Anxi obediently crouched by his leg like a little puppy.
He looked down at her, his voice tender. "Gu Anxi, I’m serious."
Therefore, he insisted on taking her back to the Orchid Room. He had said this matter had to be dealt with there, and so it would be.
He spoke softly again, "I have rarely been passionate. But when I am, it lasts a lifetime. Gu Anxi, you must do the same."
After last night, the affairs of the Gu family in Beicheng seemed insignificant.
Bo Xichen said that in the future, she would be a child of the Bo family.
She remained stunned.
Then... then she was embraced by him, their fingers tightly intertwined. He probably said something along the lines of "holding her hand and growing old together"...
After a long while, he patted her back. "I’ll go to the living room first. You come over later, alright?"
Gu Anxi lay against his heart, humming softly, seemingly shy.
He chuckled, pinched her cheek again, then got up and left—
If they were to go out together, she would probably be even more shy!
This meal left Wang Keru feeling on edge. Bo’s father was polite, Bo’s mother affectionate and warm, and Bo Xichen exceptionally respectful. However, she couldn’t shake the feeling that her daughter was no longer hers, that the Bo family seemed to have already decided matters.
As a mother, she felt both happy and melancholic. But then she considered that Anxi truly needed the support of a powerful background, and she felt more at ease.
Since they had to depart for Qingcheng in the afternoon, Bo Xichen’s parents had to let her go, no matter how reluctant they were. Bo Xichen’s mother, in particular, pulled Gu Anxi back to a room and spoke intimately with her for a good while.
When Gu Anxi came out, she was holding a rosewood box filled with large gemstones, some the size of pigeon’s eggs, strings of diamonds, and other such treasures. Bo Xichen’s mother said they were for her to play with, adding that since they were rushed today, she would find some better items from the storeroom later.
Although Bo Xichen’s mother had already spent a good hour saying her private goodbyes to her beloved Anxi, she still couldn’t bear to let her go. She accompanied her all the way to the car, promising to visit Qingcheng and stay for a while. Gu Anxi agreed and then hugged her.
Bo Xichen’s mother deeply envied Wang Keru for having the little darling by her side every day!
Wang Keru chuckled dryly. "Your son has monopolized my little darling; how could she always be by my side!"
To show their profound respect for their new mother-in-law, the Bo family dispatched twenty Rolls-Royce Phantoms to escort Wang Keru and her party to the airport. In reality, only one car was occupied. The fact that the others were empty didn’t matter; the grand display was paramount.
As ill luck would have it, they ran into the Qin family again at the airport.
The Qin family had arrived with great fanfare but were now leaving in dejection. Seeing the long procession of luxury cars, their eyes nearly popped out.
Wang Keru stepped out of the black limousine, wearing high heels and a designer trench coat, her long hair curled, sunglasses perched on her nose, and her lips a bold red—her glamour rating was off the charts.
Qin Han’s eyes were bloodshot, his voice hoarse. "Come back with me."
Nearby, the two younger ones, Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi, stood to one side, Gu Anxi leaning on Bo Xichen’s shoulder. Qin Siyuan watched them, sensing that something was different between them.
It had to be said, Qin Siyuan’s intuition was incredibly sharp!
Wang Keru smiled, walked up to Qin Han, and stood still before him.
