Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1005: Chapter 2004: Have You Ever Felt Nostalgic?

After Mrs. Bo finished speaking, she regretted it a little herself. She gave that little cream puff’s cheek a firm pinch, put on a stern face and said, "You little thing, I’m already at this age, isn’t this way too flashy!"

Gu Anxi smiled with squinted eyes. "Not at all. Dressed like this, Bo Mom looks at least ten years younger."

She held up a number with her fingers.

"You only know how to coax me." Mrs. Bo chuckled, then reached out to hug her. "Fine, we’ll buy it if we’re buying it."

Gu Anxi snuggled up against her, then kept her company trying on several more sets, thinking every single one looked good. Mrs. Bo laughed and said, "Look at you, at your age you don’t buy anything, yet you’re making me buy."

This time, she really did pull out the matriarch card and started lecturing the kid: "Men are all visual creatures, they actually care a lot about this stuff. Xichen may not pay attention to these things right now, but he’s in his prime. Who knows when he’ll run into some little vixen. The little vixens outside aren’t as pretty as you, but they’ve got tricks."

Gu Anxi propped her little chin up and smiled. "Then we’ll talk about it when Little Uncle meets a little vixen."

Mrs. Bo looked at her gently smiling expression, the corners of her red lips tipping up slightly. That little face really was vivid as a painting. She couldn’t help but smile—this little face was probably enough to keep her son in line for a lifetime. Then she thought of the way Lu Heng looked at the little baby, and that Qin Siyuan too—probably also someone who’d never forget for a lifetime.

Some people, even if they get married and are very loving with their wives, the white moonlight in their hearts is still the white moonlight. Luckily this little baby has a big heart, so she didn’t need to worry about that part...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Bo felt a little soft inside. She reached out to touch her little face. "I’d think Xichen couldn’t bear to let you be sad either."

"I wouldn’t be sad." Gu Anxi hugged her arm, speaking in a soft, squishy voice. "If Little Uncle dares go find another woman, I’ll just find someone younger and more handsome than him and dump him."

Mrs. Bo burst out laughing. "You’re probably the only one who dares say that kind of thing in front of her mother-in-law."

"You’re not my mother-in-law, you’re Bo Mom." She quietly flattered her. "Even if Little Uncle and I don’t end up together, I still want to live in Si Garden, I still want to be with Bo Mom."

Mrs. Bo couldn’t hold back her laughter again. Laughing as she took out her card to swipe, the salesgirl looked at them, then glanced at the bill and said enviously, "That comes to 563,000 yuan in total. Madam, you and your daughter have such a good relationship."

Gu Anxi smiled. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Mrs. Bo replied with a smile, "She’s my little daughter-in-law."

The salesgirl was even more amazed. "Then your relationship is really good."

They didn’t look like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all. Never mind distance, this was like negative distance. But this madam’s aura really was something else—one look and you could tell she was a lady from a wealthy family, someone you wouldn’t normally see...

Over here, after paying the bill, Gu Anxi automatically picked up the bags, loading the big and small ones into the car.

Mrs. Bo said she hadn’t bought anything, and started the engine. "When there’s time, have Little Uncle come out shopping with us too."

Little Uncle Bo really liked wandering around menswear stores. He’d buy black shirts by the dozen; shirts that cost over ten thousand a piece, and she used them as pajamas... Of course, that was something she would never tell Bo Mom.

Mrs. Bo had no idea her son was this dark and twisted, and just echoed along, "True, young couples should go out shopping more. Xichen’s been busy lately and you’ve been unwell, you probably haven’t gone out for a while either."

"It’s not that bad." Gu Anxi smiled as she drove. "I’m not that into shopping anyway. When we have time, just staying home and watching shows together is nice enough."

Hearing this, Mrs. Bo felt a twinge of heartache. This child looked carefree, but she was truly considerate. Xichen really was very busy, and it was a good thing she had her own things to do. Otherwise it would be lonely too.

Gu Anxi more or less sensed Bo Mom’s mood. With one hand on the steering wheel, she said softly, "Little Uncle’s beauty makes up for everything."

Mrs. Bo immediately laughed out loud. "You child."

Gu Anxi drove the car to the beauty salon, got out, and went in with her...

Meanwhile in another lab, Bo Nianyao and Bo Xichen were inside. Bo Xichen was in the middle of running an experiment, while Bo Nianyao stood beside him watching, his expression mild.

"Mother’s here. Aren’t you going back to see her?" Bo Xichen carefully took out the extract, added a few more things, then put it back into the container and asked with a faint smile, "You two haven’t seen each other for almost a month, right?"

Bo Nianyao held the data sheet, pretending not to care. "Your mother and I are an old married couple, not like you and the little baby—young things who start pining away after just a few days apart."

Bo Xichen smiled. "You don’t miss her?"

"Not particularly." Father Bo was slightly aloof.

Little Uncle Bo let out a quiet chuckle, then teased his father, "True, Father probably feels more emotional resonance when he sees Aunt Lu."

Old face flushing bright red, Bo Nianyao coughed lightly. "Xichen, ever since you’ve been with the little baby, you’ve really learned all the wrong things. You’re even making jokes at your elders’ expense now." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Little Uncle Bo just smiled softly and didn’t say anything more.

Bo Nianyao let out a quiet sigh. "So many years have passed, I’ve long forgotten what it was like back then. Besides, if we’re talking about who’s better, your mother is better."

Bo Xichen continued to smile without commenting, lowering his head to look at the numbers on the instrument.

He was so focused that it was actually Bo Nianyao whose thoughts drifted a little. "Xichen, we’re having dinner with the Lu Family later. You’ve got to help run interference for me. Your mother may seem easygoing about people and things on the surface, but she’s actually very jealous."

"Is that so?" Little Uncle Bo paused. "Then Father must usually show a certain degree of nostalgia."

Bo Nianyao’s mouth hung open for a long moment before he finally shut it. Then he said sheepishly, "Xichen, you’re a man too, you should understand. Your mother is elegant and generous and very beautiful, but a man’s first love always carries some feelings. Your Aunt Lu looks delicate, naturally..."

He coughed lightly again and patted his son.

Bo Xichen smiled faintly and said nothing.

He understood that way of thinking. In fact, as long as the mind and body ultimately held up, it wasn’t a big problem.

He continued with the experiment. After a long while, he suddenly asked, "If you had the chance, would you?"

Bo Nianyao was taking a sip of tea and spaced out for a second, then smiled. "Probably not."

If it had been before the little baby came home, he might still have wavered a bit. But now, with a son and daughter both, what other thoughts could he possibly have? That little bit of fond remembrance for Lu Xueman had long since been diluted by seeing the little baby every day...

Even if it was first love, even if it had once been beautiful, it couldn’t compare to even one-thousandth of his little baby. Just thinking about the way the little baby looked at him, and all of Bo Nianyao’s shameful thoughts vanished. As an elder, you had to act like one.

The two of them chatted on and off. At six thirty in the afternoon, after finishing the experiment, Bo Xichen dialed Gu Anxi. "Where are you?"

Gu Anxi was sprawled on the sofa and spoke softly. "Just a bit longer. We’ll drive over ourselves."

With his mother there, Bo Xichen felt reassured, so he smiled. "Okay, then I’ll go grab a quick shower first."
