Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 383 - 384: How about you, do you want your younger uncle? 1200 words

He was resting on the sofa with his eyes half-closed. Hearing her words, he opened his eyes and patted her playfully. "I went to the trouble of coming back four hours early, and you actually went out for dinner."

"I’m here with you now," she said, softening her stance as she leaned on his shoulder, coaxing him in a low voice.

Bo Xichen pulled her into his arms; he really had missed her quite a bit...

After they shared a tender moment, Gu Anxi leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Did you know, Wang Qin and Fang Ming are together."

Bo Xichen was surprised and chuckled. "Did this just happen in the last couple of days?"

She hummed affirmatively. "Fang Ming moves fast, doesn’t he?"

"Indeed he does." Bo Xichen gently touched her hair. "What about you? Do you miss your uncle?"

She glanced at him and whispered, "I think I just expressed that."

Bo Xichen also recalled what had just transpired. He closed his eyes reflexively, then opened them again after a moment. "Has Second Uncle been taking you to school these days?"

"Not really. Sometimes it’s Aunt Bo Jin." She played with his palm. "Aunt Bo Jin has recently been busy with the contract signing for *Big Bad Wolf*; she leaves early and returns late."

Bo Xichen chuckled. "Then you’ll have to thank her properly later."

At this, Anxi fell silent.

"Hmm?" Bo Xichen lowered his head. "What’s wrong?"

Gu Anxi leaned on his shoulder and said softly, "Don’t tell Mother Bo."

Bo Xichen had a good idea of what happened; his aunt must have secretly told Anxi to call her ’Mother Bo’ as well. Probably... a secret address, not intending for his own mother to find out.

He found it amusing and pinched her small cheek. "You’re certainly pampered."

Anxi wrapped her arms around his neck. "Spoil me too, pleeeease!" she cooed.

He lowered his head. "Hmm... Gu Anxi, you’ve learned some bad habits."

On the eighteenth day after filming began for *Pain of Youth*, *18 Ways the Big Bad Wolf Eats the Little Bunny* signed a contract with Disney for a copyright fee of 500 million.

Disney posted on Twitter, officially announcing they would be making a movie about a Chinese princess.

Rumors from insiders quickly spread, claiming the copyright fee was 500 million.

This news spread like wildfire, completely overshadowing *Pain of Youth*.

Gu Mingzhu didn’t mind, as long as it wasn’t about Gu Anxi. Her movie wouldn’t conflict with Disney’s, and besides, they wouldn’t be released concurrently.

However, Gu Anxi hadn’t come to school that day. She’d heard Bo Xichen was back from his business trip... It looked like Gu Anxi couldn’t avoid relying on her looks to curry favor with men and had no real future.

Gu Mingzhu was in a pretty good mood all day. When she returned home, Tang Yuan was looking at two invitation cards.

She walked over. "Mom, what are you looking at?"

Tang Yuan smiled. "These are invitation cards to Disney’s contract signing reception. Mingzhu, all the prominent figures in Beicheng will be there. I managed to get two as well. I’ll try to find a way to introduce you to the Disney directors there. What if they take a liking to a story about a Chinese princess that you write?"

Tang Yuan had quite long-term plans for Gu Mingzhu; she had even considered this possibility.

Gu Mingzhu nodded thoughtfully. "Alright, I’ll definitely make a good impression that night. By the way, Director Nie should be attending too, right? With his endorsement, things would certainly go much smoother."

Tang Yuan was pleasantly surprised, feeling her daughter had become much more sensible than before.

She said, "Of course. Director Nie has quite a reputation in the industry. Although Disney films are released globally, they still place great importance on the box office in China, especially for a Chinese story. They’ll inevitably need prominent local directors like Director Nie to help promote it and lend their support. Mingzhu, this is a great opportunity.

"I have another idea," she continued after a pause. "I heard that the Chinese distributor is Xinli Culture. This is inside information. I want to collaborate with Xinli. We’ll definitely make a substantial profit from it."

Ever since encountering Gu Anxi, the funds in her account had shrunk considerably. Now that she had also lost her managerial position at Gu Corporation, she naturally had to find ways to recoup her losses...

Tang Yuan continued, "The reception is tomorrow night. You should prepare well."

Tang Yuan was already planning to heavily promote Mingzhu’s beauty that evening, hoping to ride the wave of Disney’s popularity...

Gu Mingzhu nodded. "I know."

She went upstairs and carefully prepared some talking points for her conversation with Disney’s directors at the reception.

The next morning, news that Gu Mingzhu, the author of *Pain of Youth*, would be attending Disney’s contract signing reception was already trending on the microblog...
