Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1027: Chapter 1026: From Now On, the Child Will Call Me Daddy

Gu Mingzhu felt a bit suffocated.

She truly didn’t know.

Gu Anxi smiled, her eyes crinkling: "So you see, there’s really no need to get worked up over something so trivial, yet you insist on fussing for ages."

Gu Mingzhu turned her body slightly, looking at Anxi’s at-ease manner, and only after a long while did she speak in a hoarse voice: "Anxi, why do you still care about me, forgive me?"

Gu Anxi closed her eyes to rest, seemingly unwilling to answer, which left Gu Mingzhu a bit stubbornly waiting.

She waited until Gu Anxi, a bit impatient, finally opened her eyes and let out a light snort: "When those two abandoned me, it seems you hadn’t yet been formed in Old Gu’s body."

Gu Mingzhu froze, somewhat dumbfounded.

Gu Anxi chuckled again, said nothing, and slowly fell asleep with her head on the pillow.

She had a dream, in the same sunroom as when she was very young, playing together with little Mingzhu. Mingzhu was a year younger than her, very cute, a bit chubby.

When she awoke, Gu Mingzhu was no longer there, but a thin blanket was draped over her.

She sat up, brushing her hair aside, and chuckled softly: "That silly girl."

Wasn’t she just complaining about being hot, yet she covered her with a blanket? But touching her own hand, it felt a bit cold.

She smiled helplessly, just as Bo Xichen walked in. She leaned against the sofa: "Did they leave?"

Bo Xichen hummed: "They just left not long ago."

He sat down, reaching out to touch her little head: "You slept for quite a while; it’s almost time for dinner."

Gu Anxi responded softly, glancing around, and indeed the sky had turned to twilight.

She sighed contentedly: "Beicheng is so comfortable; I really don’t want to leave."

Bo Xichen pinched her cheek: "Regretting it?"

She nuzzled his palm like a cat: "Not at all."

He chuckled and then lay down, pulling her into his arms to gently stroke her hair. At this moment, everything was particularly quiet and beautiful.

After a long time, she looked up and softly asked: "In three days, are we really getting married?"

"Aren’t we already an old couple?" He laughed, "It’s just for formality."

She pinched him: "Bo Xichen, I need a sense of ceremony too."

He smiled slightly, agreeing with her.

Gu Anxi suddenly remembered something: "By the way, is Sister Lin Hua still here?"

"She is. Talking with my mother; Mr. Wang will come over for dinner tonight." He leaned against a pillow, smiling gently: "They’re very invested, almost like they’re marrying off a daughter."

Gu Anxi gave him a sideways glance: "Sister Lin Hua is just in her thirties."

Bo Xichen smiled lightly: "But your elder brother Old Wang plays the role of your father just fine."

Little Sweetheart nestled in his arms, gently tugging at his buttons, giggling: "So will you call Wang Jingyao dad?"

Bo Xichen was teasing her initially, but now hearing this made him feel a bit awkward.

Gu Anxi!

Gu Anxi laughed, her laughter full of merriment.

And as he watched her laugh, any trace of doubt within him dissipated completely.

Perhaps being with him would make her busier, leaving less time for fun, but she was truly happy.

After chatting for a while, the two headed toward the dining room, seeing Wang Jingyao stepping out of the car, waving at Gu Anxi: "Come here."

Gu Anxi ran over, and Wang Jingyao, with hands on his waist, smiled: "You look much sturdier now."

"That’s no way to describe a young lady; Anxi is so skinny." Lin Hua came from somewhere, giving her husband a reproachful look.

Wang Jingyao immediately apologized: "My fault, my fault, Anxi don’t hold it against me; your sister-in-law is looking out for you." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Gu Anxi peered into the car: "Are there presents in there?"

Wang Jingyao laughed heartily: "You sure are perceptive. Just for your wedding, Lin Hua gathered quite a few things from the old lady’s place for you, and made me bring them all over."

Gu Anxi glanced at Lin Hua.

Lin Hua smiled, patting her on the head: "You only get married once in a lifetime; it can’t be done hastily."

Gu Anxi smiled too, though there was a sense of sigh within her.

Sister Lin Hua is also experiencing this for the first time, yet there are things she couldn’t share with her.

Feeling a bit saddened inside, she kept her smile sweet: "Let me see Sister Lin Hua’s taste."

Wang Jingyao, smiling, said to Bo Xichen: "Xichen, look at this little money-grubber, saying one thing but really just wanting to gather all the good stuff for herself."

Bo Xichen laughed too, saying nothing.

Lin Hua gave her husband a sideways glance: "Is this how a brother should behave? There’s only one sister."

Wang Jingyao smiled warmly, speaking gently: "Don’t we need to save some for our little daughter?"

As he finished speaking, Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi both focused on Lin Hua’s belly, making Lin Hua feel somewhat embarrassed.

Gu Anxi’s eyes sparkled as she watched, and after a while, she cautiously touched Lin Hua’s belly, "Is there a baby?"

Lin Hua felt a little shy, but she nodded gently.

"Is it a girl?" Gu Anxi asked cautiously again.

At this moment, the old brother laughed, "We don’t know yet if it’s a boy or a girl."

Gu Anxi stared at Lin Hua’s little belly, then told her to wait and ran back to the Orchid Room.

The adults were a bit puzzled, but after a while, they saw her driving a children’s toy car, filled with various toys, Lego, dolls, almost all limited editions.

Uh... Professor Bo rubbed his forehead, feeling slightly speechless.

Meanwhile, Lin Hua stood in the twilight, her eyes a bit misty.

It’s Little Anxi.

Gu Anxi unloaded Wang Jingyao’s priceless treasures from the car, casually tossing them aside, and carefully placing the toys in the car. For a moment, Wang Jingyao didn’t know if he lost or gained.

And with the news of Lin Hua’s pregnancy spreading, Si Garden became lively, Old Wang drank several glasses of wine, and Secretary Wang Jingchuan didn’t leave right away, joining in with a light drink.

After dinner, the men were in high spirits, played two rounds of cards, while Gu Anxi didn’t play, taking Lin Hua to the Orchid Room to see her collection.

Lin Hua looked at the rows of shelves in amazement, "Anxi, did you collect all these?"

"Well, just something to play with when I’m not busy." Gu Anxi picked one up and fiddled with it.

Lin Hua smiled, then touched her own belly, "I wonder if this child is a boy or a girl."

Gu Anxi chose a chair to sit down, "So, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

She said herself, "I like girls."

Lin Hua laughed, "Well, it’s not something you can decide, but your old brother also prefers girls, saying it’s best to have one like Anxi, the little rascal."

Gu Anxi shouted, "Are you starting to pull me down now? I’m not a little rascal!"

Lin Hua laughed again, reaching out to stroke her little head, "At 21, you still look like a child."

She paused, "It’s all because Xichen spoils you."

Gu Anxi whispered, "Not at all, Uncle is quite strict."

Lin Hua was familiar with her and wouldn’t say polite words, "Maybe he should discipline you, luckily there’s Xichen to manage you."

Gu Anxi yelled that she’s been with the old brother too long and picked up bad habits, Lin Hua was momentarily dazed.

Gu Anxi saw her expression, cautiously asking, "What’s wrong?"

Lin Hua shook her head, "Nothing, just recalling some things."

Gu Anxi didn’t speak, quietly accompanying her.

After a long time, Lin Hua spoke, "Anxi, lately I’ve been dreaming, dreaming that Feng Sheng hasn’t left, he’s back, but he found out I got married and blamed me, saying I’m a vain woman."

Gu Anxi was frightened, stuttering, "Could it be, could it be because you’re pregnant that you’re having such dreams?"

"Maybe." Lin Hua smiled lightly, "Perhaps I’ve been too tense."

Gu Anxi nodded maturely, "You must be careful in the early months of pregnancy, especially the first three months."

She reached out to touch her belly, her face full of anticipation, "Isn’t it magical to have a baby?"

Lin Hua smiled gently, "It’s only as big as a peanut."

"Still a baby." Gu Anxi said, quite envious.

Lin Hua covered her hand, quietly asking, "What about you and Xichen, any plans?"

Gu Anxi immediately sighed then propped her chin on her fingers, "Well, Uncle seems not ready for a child right now."

Lin Hua patted her hand, "That’s Xichen caring for you, you’re still a child yourself, always playing games."

"Actually, he probably wants a child." Gu Anxi sighed again, knowing in her heart that because of her health, there’s no plan yet.

The two chatted for a long time, Wang Jingyao came looking for someone, entered and marveled at the entire room of collections, "Xichen, you’re spoiling her too much, this place used to be elegant, now it’s turned into a kindergarten."

Bo Xichen just smiled.

Gu Anxi made a face at Wang Jingyao, "None of your business."

Wang Jingyao pinched her ear, "None of my business? Seriously? You keep causing trouble, making me clean up your mess. On the first day back in Beicheng, you offended the Chu Family, bluntly calling their grandson an idiot, do you know how much effort I spent to calm them down?"

Gu Anxi whispered, "Just can’t stand them!"

"Haha, you can’t stand many things in this world, are you going to take them all on? This old body can’t keep up."

Gu Anxi glared at him, "So petty. Fine, we won’t go to Jiangcheng, I’ll clean up my own mess in the future."

Bo Xichen smiled slightly, didn’t say anything, just poured a cup of clear tea for several people.

Old Wang brother sneered a few times, looked at each one, saying, "Look at this, spoiled children, an ungrateful little wolf. She often threatens me."

Gu Anxi rolled her eyes, nestled in the sofa, sipping tea, Lin Hua wanted some too, but Wang Jingyao had taken it, "It’s late, better not drink, or you won’t sleep."

Bo Xichen smiled, "It’s chrysanthemum tea."

Wang Jingyao acquiesced, then said to Gu Anxi, "See, Xichen is much better than you, more considerate."

Gu Anxi grinned, "Then you can be with Uncle, I will take good care of Sister Lin Hua, in the future the child calls me Dad."

Old Wang brother almost wanted to beat her, even Uncle Bo couldn’t listen anymore, wanting to scold her but found it amusing, Old Wang brother couldn’t vent, eventually saying, "Xichen, you’re spoiling her too much."

Lin Hua glared at him, "What’s wrong with spoiling, didn’t you always say girls should be spoiled? Now you’re saying these things?"

Old Wang brother was momentarily speechless, didn’t know what to say.

After chatting for a while, they left, Bo Xichen escorted them to the parking lot alone, where four RVs were waiting, Chen Ming stood smoking in front of a car, and upon seeing them approach, lowly called out, "Mr. Wang."
