Chapter 213: Chapter 213
He smiled and said, "Eat more. You’ve used up a lot of energy recently. If you get any skinnier, my mother will nag me again for not taking good care of you."
As he spoke, he pinched her soft, tender cheek. "You do seem to have lost some weight!"
Gu Anxi’s face grew hot. "Bo Xichen, haven’t you had enough?"
His smile deepened. Suddenly, he unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned in...
The small cookie in Gu Anxi’s hand scattered on the floor. Her hand hung limp for a long moment before she finally wrapped her arms around his neck, murmuring, "Little Uncle, Mother Bo is going to scold you again."
After a long pause, he rested his forehead against hers, his voice hoarse. "Come back with me tonight."
Gu Anxi pushed him away, picked up the small tin, and sat up straight, maintaining a dignified composure.
He spoke slowly, "I acquired a little trinket, something from the Qing Dynasty. Want to see it?"
Gu Anxi lowered her head, not making a sound.
Bo Xichen teased her, "You really don’t want to see it?"
She slowly glanced at him, then said very slowly, "Why do I get the feeling... you little trinket more than I do?"
Bo Xichen chuckled softly and whispered a few words into her ear. Gu Anxi’s face felt like it was on fire!
A moment later, as he started the car, she finally spat out a few words, "You wolf in sheep’s clothing!"
As for the treasure he had acquired, Gu Anxi did indeed examine it in detail that night under Bo Xichen’s insistence—
She never wanted to recall the process!
The Bo Family’s visit this time was for the engagement.
Naturally, the affair would be grand.
The dinner was still held at Zhenyuan Restaurant. Since it was an engagement, betrothal gifts were indispensable.
A thick booklet was placed in front of Wang Keru. Mother Bo was all smiles. "This is our initial list. Anxi’s mom, please take a look. If there’s anything unsuitable, we can add more."
Wang Keru opened it, and the first page alone was enough to make her lose her composure.
Among the betrothal gifts, there was... there was... Citibank.
When she was with the Qin family, she had heard Qin Han mention that Citibank was worth tens of billions, and he was acquainted with the head of its main branch...
Now, the Bo Family bought Citibank and gave it to Anxi?
Just the thought made her fingers tremble. Grandma Chen, who was beside her, coughed lightly. "Anxi’s mom, we’re discussing important matters!"
How can I lose my composure ? I absolutely mustn’t act like I’ve never seen money before!
Thus reminded, Wang Keru immediately recalled that saying—
The egg wasn’t laid by you, but you hatched it, didn’t you?
That was right. She was Anxi’s mother; she absolutely couldn’t show any timidity. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
So, she casually flicked her hair back, smiled radiantly, and flipped through the pages one by one, her face equally beaming with delight. "It’s exceptionally thorough. Xichen’s mom, you’ve been very thoughtful."
Mother Bo, holding Gu Anxi, said, "As long as our child likes it. Xichen has been staying in Qingcheng recently to look after Anxi. I heard that the auction for Bishui Yuntian is coming up soon; his being here might be a great help."
Gu Anxi, who had been fed until she was full by Mother Bo, quickly said, "I only said I needed to borrow the bank, not that it needed to be transferred to my name."
"It’s already transferred," Mother Bo said, beaming. "There’s no way to change it now."
Gu Anxi thought, This sounds a bit strange!
She looked up and saw Bo Xichen smiling at her.
She lowered her head and continued eating...
How is it that Bo Xichen seems more and more handsome the more I look at him!
Mother Bo beamed, "Anxi, isn’t Xichen good-looking?"
Bo Xichen drew her into his arms and said with a smile, "Mom, don’t tease her."
Mother Bo was still beaming, "I think she’s quite smitten with you!"
Bo Xichen just smiled, leaning down to whisper, "Gu Anxi, is it true?"
