The two talked for a while longer, and before leaving, Feng Mian tidied up his work a bit and then left.

Tomorrow, he’s going to Italy.

In the evening, Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi saw him off, and together with Fengxi, the four of them had dinner. There was nothing for Gu Anxi to worry about, as Fengxi would be accompanying him, and she also gave Feng Mian a small box set, very powerful...

She had drunk some light wine, and it was Bo Xichen who drove her home.

When they arrived at Si Garden, Bo Xichen unbuckled his seatbelt but didn’t immediately get out of the car. Instead, he leaned over and kissed her for a while.

After a long time, Gu Anxi looked up, softly saying, "Will Lin Hua be happy?"

He laughed silently and leaned closer to her, his voice even huskier now, "Then tell me, are you happy right now?"

She giggled lightly and buried her little head in his arms, "You already know, Uncle."

He reached out to touch her round little head, gentle as water, and after a long while, he eased up: "What about the aviation company? Planning to run it?"

She shook her head: "We’ll wait until Feng Mian comes back to prepare for selling it. By the way, because the rival of this aviation company isn’t doing too well, there are a few routes that are quite valuable, so we can definitely sell it for a good price then."

Bo Xichen: ...

"And that fighter jet?"

"Bring it back, Fengxi and I will fly it for fun." She said with confidence.

Bo Xichen: ... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

This really is her world, just a game to her...

Gu Anxi snuggled into his arms again, acting a bit spoiled. He felt she was slightly warm and softly asked, "Feeling unwell?"

"Just had a bit of wine," she mumbled.

Bo Xichen chuckled and held her for a while longer in the car, then finally carried her back to the Orchid Room. As soon as they got back, little milk girl was whisked away by Nian Yao’s dad and the old man to play chess, leaving Bo Xichen, who had lost favor, shaking his head with a helpless smile—

Originally, he had other plans.

He could only let her go for the time being.

He went to the lab, patiently worked on a set of data, and around midnight, received a phone call from a mysterious number. He frowned slightly and answered—

A gentle voice from the other side said, "Xichen, Lu Heng is coming to Beicheng. Tomorrow."

Bo Xichen blinked lightly: "Did Jiang Chaoge invite him here?"

"Yes." The voice was lowered further: "It’s for the Hual experiment results."

"Okay, I understand." Bo Xichen replied with a slightly cold gaze, "Keep watching."

He hung up and continued focusing on the experiment. About half an hour later, the experiment results came out, somewhat satisfying. A glance at the clock showed it was already 2 AM.

Returning to the Orchid Room, he heard the sound of running water from the bathroom and chuckled silently.

The old and young together, losing track of time.

He sat on the sofa, patiently waiting, and after a long while, Gu Anxi came out with wet hair. He pulled her into his lap and dried her hair, speaking hoarsely, "Playing so late?"

She naturally slumped forward, "Hmm, Bo Dadan kept losing tonight and couldn’t accept it, so they played until now. Uncle, didn’t you just finish too?"

He patted her lightly, "You messed up my plans."

Little milk girl lay there, enjoying his hair-drying service, softly saying, "Uncle, what plans do you have?"

She suddenly turned over, "Go eat barbecue skewers?"

Bo Xichen was quite speechless.

He stared at her for a while before saying hoarsely, "It’s so late, what skewers."

Yet her eyes were sparkling...
