At this mont, the Chu family’s matriarch was infuriated: "Such a situation where we have to care for a child and give her money, where has there ever been such a good deal."
After speaking, she imdiately regretted it and fell silent.
Gu Anxi chuckled: "Right? You feel it’s unreasonable too. So let’s compromise, the child goes to you, and we won’t take any money. Originally, this child was granted to the father during the divorce. Now is the ti to take responsibility, why not shoulder it?"
She looked at Qin Siling: "For the future, be ruthless. You won’t see any trouble in Qingcheng from now on."
Qin Siling held her breath, suppressing the urge to speak.
The Chu family matriarch jumped up: "How could this be such a good deal? The child was born and raised by her. Now she’s not taking care, who will?"
"Why should she? Has the father died?" Gu Anxi retorted sharply.
The two sides argued and debated for quite a while, eventually leading Chu Huan to step in. This complete scoundrel indeed didn’t want to care for such a child, the result being that a paper was signed stating that Qin Siling would take care of the child from now on, with no further relation to the father.
Once signed, both parties exhaled deeply.
Qin Siling hoarsely said: "Chu Huan, congratulations."
Chu Huan felt sowhat uncomfortable: "When I have ti, I’ll visit Little An in Qingcheng."
"No need, I’ll take good care of him." Qin Siling wanted nothing more to do with this scum, slowly sitting down.
Director Hao noticed and promptly poured a cup of water for her, his fingers brushing against hers when he handed it over.
The chief director of Cloud He Group suddenly blushed slightly.
At this mont, the Chu family was still causing a scene, especially the Chu matriarch who was crying about Little An’s unfortunate destiny.
Bo Xichen erged from the operating room, removed his mask, and asked puzzledly: "What’s going on? Isn’t Little An doing fine?"
Gu Anxi imdiately felt guilty, stamring: "Will it hurt after anesthesia?"
"But it won’t be unfortunate! Two months later he’ll be perfectly healthy, Gu Anxi, co on, did you act up again?" Slowly, he removed his gloves, glancing around: "Director Hao, you explain."
Director Hao’s elderly face turned completely red.
Could he say that everything he said was taught by Little Gu? Though it contradicts dical ethics, Little Gu said it was to save a poor woman, so he had no choice but to comply. Besides, he felt Miss Qin was quite unfortunate. If a kind lie could ensure her peace for the rest of her life, then so be it.
At this mont, Director Hao truly didn’t know what to say.
Bo Xichen knew perfectly well, glanced at his partner, and sighed.
There and then, the Chu matriarch handed him her copy of the agreent: "Professor Bo, take a look at this, is there an issue?"
Bo Xichen quickly skimd through it, sowhat surprised, yet more amused than anything.
Of course, acted up again.
He coughed lightly: "Indeed, there is such a risk, but isn’t it mistaken? A ten percent chance, ninety percent no issues, probably misheard."
He spoke smoothly, but the Chu family was infuriated. However, the paper was signed, leaving them only the option of going to court.
Gu Anxi, as usual, was unrelenting. Before the court case, she had the Chu family escorted out and dialed a call to Chu Changhe to have him intervene.
Once peace returned, she turned around, Qin Siling’s voice was excited: "Really, truly no problems?"
Bo Xichen folded his arms, "Gu Anxi, co to the office with ."
He’s going to peel her skin off.
Gu Anxi made a face, obediently following him.
Qin Siling was still in disbelief.
Director Hao softly said: "Actually, there’s zero percent risk, Professor Bo was just helping cover up the lie. It’s rare for him and he’s really lenient with Little Gu."
Qin Siling was stunned for a long while: "So from start to finish it was all fake, Anxi used it to trick that scum Chu Huan?" How did she know about our situation?"
Director Hao smiled: "Little Gu is quite a clever person, she can do anything."
Qin Siling was still a little vacant, but Director Hao spoke: "The child’s surgery is done, in observation now. I’ll go check, in half an hour he’ll be moved to a ward, rest assured, the father’s side won’t get in. Little Gu already arranged everything."
Qin Siling muttered: "I owe her a big favor, don’t know how to repay it."
"She’s just a child, likes to play, probably couldn’t stand... cough, that person." Director Hao finished, chuckled again: "I’ll head over, you can go start arranging the ward."
Qin Siling expressed her gratitude and returned to the lounge to discuss the situation with Qin Siyuan once more. She still could not believe that Little An now belonged to her.
Qin Siyuan gave her a hug, while Gu Mingzhu listened in a daze, finally understanding and murmuring softly: "She’s still so bad."
Qin Siling wanted to say sothing, but Qin Siyuan smiled and gestured for her not to speak.
Qin Siling understood.
She instructed her brother briefly and told them to head back to Qingcheng, as it was getting late, and staying here too long would surely raise complaints from the Gu family.
Qin Siyuan nodded and glanced at Gu Mingzhu: "Shall we head back?"
Gu Mingzhu bit her lip, "I want to go see Gu Anxi and ask if she’s returning."
Since last night, she hadn’t had a chance to talk properly with her. She always felt that such a big mont in her life needed a few words with Gu Anxi to feel ceremonious.
Qin Siyuan chuckled: "She’s probably getting scolded by Professor Bo."
Gu Mingzhu was skeptical: "Brother Xichen cares for her too much to truly reprimand her, no matter what mistakes she makes."
She felt both envious and uncomfortable, wishing Gu Anxi would receive a spanking every day, but she also knew that even if Brother Xichen punished her, he wouldn’t have the heart to be harsh.
Qin Siyuan paused montarily, then chuckled.
Indeed, no real reprimand—it was rely an excuse. Anxi didn’t want to face them, so that man took her away as a ans of protection. His care for Anxi was always subtle and gentle, almost unnoticeable.
He couldn’t help but recall last year in Qingcheng when, after that man appeared beside Anxi, she never got hurt again. Her unseen smile returned, and the little girl who used to call out for Qin Siyuan started calling for Bo Xichen.
Anxi was just such a carefree little girl.
He thought that if ever she parted ways with Bo Xichen, she would probably go on to like another excellent person, yet he instantly dismissed the thought.
How could it be, when in this world, there is no second Bo Xichen!
Qin Siyuan eventually took Gu Mingzhu away, heading directly to Qingcheng by private jet, marking the first day of their new marriage.
In the bathroom attached to Bo Xichen’s office, Gu Anxi was the first to erge, running out and dressed in an oversized white shirt with a pair of sporty pants—also belonging to Little Uncle Bo. The waist was too big, so she fastened it with a belt.
Feeling quite exhausted, she settled on the sofa and fell asleep, staying there until Bo Xichen ca out, drying his hair while contemplating what to do with her.
Neither punishnt nor scolding would work; she took advantage of her young age, took liberties, knowing that all her family elders adored and doted on her. But the trouble she caused today was quite serious, and the Chu family would undoubtedly press charges, making it look bad.
However, so what—his little one saw injustice on the road.
He shook his head and eventually called Jingyao to sort things out.
For such trivial matters, Old Wang’s brother had Secretary Wang Jingchuan handle it directly, then smilingly said, "Xichen, you’re headed back to Beicheng just in ti for your wedding. Why not have it here and then return to Jiangcheng?"
Bo Xichen’s expression condensed at the reminder.
He massaged his forehead with a smile, "I actually forgot."
King Jingyao laughed generously, "That’s no good, focusing only on work and forgetting such major events! Here, take so days to rest, and let Lin Hua and your mother manage things together. My sister getting married can’t be handled carelessly."
Bo Xichen chuckled, "Naturally."
The two n chatted a while more, indifferent to the Chu family affair. After hanging up, Bo noticed the little one had moved her small head beside his leg, leaving him speechless: "Are you playing dead or trying to please now?"
"Both." She said obediently and then softly asked: "Little Uncle, do you also think in your heart that what I did was right?"
He remained silent, reaching out to ruffle her hair.
She urged him to speak.
He smiled: "From a personal perspective, you didn’t do anything wrong, but from a dical standpoint, it violates professional ethics."
"So, will you punish ?" she asked softly, with a gentle tone.
Bo Xichen lightly pinched her cheek, his voice slightly hoarse: "Now my role is as the husband of Little Bo’s wife, so—"
She gently embraced his waist and whispered: "Little Uncle, you’re really great."
He laughed, "Would I not be good if I didn’t help wipe your little butt?"
"That’s also good; n with principles are the most charming." She deliberately flattered him, but as she continued, couldn’t help feeling sleepy: "Can I sleep here?"
