Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1078: Hotel, Chance Encounter

When he left, Gu Anxi watched his back and smiled.

Secretary Tang quietly asked, "What are you smiling about?"

Gu Anxi leaned against the chair back and said softly, "I just can’t understand why Shen Wanqing would follow him, visibly without a future. Maybe she’s thinking crooked lately, having a husband like that is probably suffocating."

Secretary Tang smiled, "Miss Shen might be eyeing the Wang Family’s billions in assets."

Gu Anxi continued playing with her phone, pondering for a moment, "Depends if she can make it out of the Wang Family alive."

Secretary Tang pursed her lips and said nothing.

After work, Gu Anxi received a call. She glanced at it and realized it was Song Beauty.

She answered, smiling, "I thought you wouldn’t want to talk to me in the future?"

Song Beauty’s voice was cold, "I’m outside the city, my car tire is flat, come get me."

Gu Anxi understood and nodded, "Actually, Chen Ming would be best for this, changing a tire is a piece of cake for him. But Chen Ming isn’t here today, wait a bit and I’ll come over."

Song Beauty paused for a moment before saying, "I didn’t mean for him to come, just you picking me up will do."

Gu Anxi didn’t make things difficult by asking why and the like; her life was quite boring, and she was eager to join in the excitement. So, she pressed the accelerator and drove off, even buying a tire on the way.

When she reached Song Beauty’s place, it was almost dark. Song Beauty sat in the car watching her approach and immediately got out.

Sure enough, Chen Ming didn’t come.

Gu Anxi carried the tire over, explaining, "That little preschool teacher of Chen Ming came over; she might be staying for a week, and she looks quite happy with him."

Song Beauty tensed but said nothing, merely watching Gu Anxi, "Can you change a tire?"

Gu Anxi huffed and puffed carrying it over, her shirt soaked with sweat, but she didn’t care, "Back in the Dark, you had to do everything, so compared to me, you’re much more fortunate."

Song Beauty crouched beside the car with her, watching her skilled movements, recalling what she had learned in twenty days at the Dark. Gu Anxi had been forced to learn it all in a year, and she was even more proficient. Song Beauty couldn’t learn it, at worst she would be put in a tiny dark room without food, but Gu Anxi had to enter a cage... Just thinking about it made her shiver.

There was no one else, so Gu Anxi spoke more casually, "By now, you must be wondering why after spending so much time with Bo Qing, I didn’t fall for him."

She lowered her eyes, smiling, "If it were you tortured year after year, you wouldn’t like him either, because you were punished by your master. And Bo Qing, as the senior brother, might occasionally show warmth, you liking him is only natural."

Song Beauty looked at her, and Gu Anxi raised her eyes to look at her, her face sweaty but still looking especially pretty, without a trace of flaw, her smile enigmatic, the curve of her red lips bringing joy...

Song Beauty paused, then said, "If it weren’t for Bo Xichen, would you like him?"

"No." Gu Anxi answered resolutely, still busy removing the tire and putting on a new one, truly without a hint of delicate behavior. At this moment Song Beauty could not see the shadow of the one pampered by the Bo Family and King Jingyao, only a very independent girl.

After Gu Anxi changed the tire, she took some water to wash her hands, scrubbing for a long time to get rid of the smell of engine oil, but her body was covered in sweat. She stood up, under the street lamp looking at Song Beauty, speaking softly, "In reality, you’ve already forgotten Bo Qing, otherwise you wouldn’t talk about him so calmly; you’re actually in love with Chen Ming, why not admit it? Opportunities are only once, he thinks that little preschool teacher is very suitable for him, in these few days they might just talk about marriage, do you really want to miss it?"

Song Beauty’s voice was a bit tense, "I don’t mean that."

Gu Anxi chuckled, not arguing with her, just got into her car, "Oh, and that girl is staying at your hotel, don’t doubt it was me... it wasn’t, it’s her unit that booked it, Chen Ming will be accompanying her these days, you might run into them, don’t lose your composure."

Saying this, she leaned her elbow on the car window, "Don’t forget you’re the Berlin Best Actress, don’t lose face."

Song Beauty was furious, hitting the car door, "Gu Anxi, you came all this way just to tell me this?"

Gu Anxi stared at her for a while before saying, "Zhou Yunchen asked me to take care of you, but I thought about it carefully, care isn’t accompanying you for dinner or helping you change a tire, it’s letting you freely get what you want."

Song Beauty bit her lip, "I was at the hospital... Gu Anxi, I don’t believe you didn’t know."

"I know." Gu Anxi smiled, "He’s a piece of wood, I also know, but even if he’s a piece of wood you like and can’t forget him and don’t want to give him up to others, right?"

Song Beauty instantly choked, Gu Anxi tilted her head, smiling, "I can’t accompany you for dinner; uncle’s coming back early today, how about you come back with me? Chen Ming isn’t here, might not come back tonight either."

Song Beauty intended to refuse, but later she didn’t know why she drove and followed Gu Anxi to that villa hall, having dinner with Bo Nianyao, Bo Xichen, and that lecherous Manager Ma. They didn’t deliberately avoid Bo Qing topics, nor did they deliberately bring them up, the conversation... was quite interesting.

Rarely, Song Beauty felt warmth outside of Zhou Yunchen and Shen Congwen, she almost didn’t want to leave, but thinking about Chen Ming living there, she decided against it.

Around ten-thirty, she drove away.

Gu Anxi and Bo Xichen saw her off, watching the sports car drive away, Gu Anxi leaned on Bo Xichen’s shoulder, "Uncle, Chen Ming said he won’t come back?"

Bo Xichen hummed, "Heard his girlfriend twisted her foot and it’s inconvenient, he’s taking care of her there."

Saying this, he lowered his head, leaning close to her fair neck to sniff, then frowned, "Why do you smell like engine oil?"

"Do I?" Gu Anxi played dumb, "Maybe it’s the alcohol I had."

Bo Xichen chuckled softly, carrying her upstairs to bathe...

Meanwhile, Song Beauty was in a good mood, driving back to the hotel; with no night shoots, she had a day off to rest.

However, her mood soured entering the elevator when she encountered an old acquaintance.

She and Chen Ming almost entered the elevator simultaneously, once inside he realized it was her and smiled, just stood there, saying nothing else, Song Beauty noticed the pharmacy bag and obvious takeout boxes in his hand and snorted, "Not leaving?"
