Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 508 - 509: Uncle, I Don’t Want to Go to School Anymore
Eventually, after sending everyone away, Bo Xichen turned to Gu Anxi and asked, "Are you okay?"
She went over and hugged his waist, her tiny face resting against his chest. "I feel better just seeing Little Uncle."
He smiled gently, patting her head. "You’re full of sweet talk. Director Hao and the others are all picking up your bad habits because of you."
She looked up from his embrace, laughing softly. "Little Uncle, don’t you like hearing these sweet words?"
He ’punished’ the naughty girl for a moment. "I do. I love it very much!"
With that, he pulled her into a fierce, joyful hug.
After her ’punishment,’ the little imp became even clingier. When he reviewed documents, she stuck right by his side.
It wasn’t that she was in a bad mood and needed to see him; she’d just suddenly realized it had been a long time since she’d clung to him like this, and she missed it—even though they saw each other every night.
Resting her head on his shoulder, she said softly, "Zhou Yunchen says we’re like an old married couple. I refuse to accept that."
Bo Xichen glanced up from his documents, looking down at her. "So, how do you want to prove otherwise?"
Gu Anxi wrapped her arms around his neck. "A girl has to maintain her composure."
He laughed. "You? Composure?"
She wrinkled her nose, huffed softly, then leaned against him and stopped pestering him.
They were both very busy. Little Uncle, in particular, was constantly juggling hospital affairs, family matters, and occasional missions from the Falcon Team.
Gu Anxi actually felt a little sorry for him; Little Uncle seems so tired. But he seemed used to it and always managed to find time to be with her.
On the way back, she sat in the passenger seat, looking somewhat preoccupied.
Bo Xichen buckled his seatbelt and turned to look at her. "What’s wrong?"
Gu Anxi said slowly, "Little Uncle, I don’t want to go to school anymore."
He smiled. "What’s the matter? Are you unhappy at school?"
His tone was incredibly gentle, like he was talking to a primary school student at home, making one feel utterly pampered.
And so, Gu Anxi reverted to being a little imp. She had been discussing something serious, but her voice became delicate. "It’s not that I’m unhappy."
She looked at him and said very softly, "Aunt Bo Jin isn’t often at Cloud He Group anymore. I know you frequently have to help handle things over there. How about I go?"
Bo Xichen stared at her, remaining silent for a long moment.
After a while, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse, "Anxi, you’re only twenty-one. To be honest, I hoped you could be a bit happier at school."
Gu Anxi’s heart immediately felt a little sour, yet there was also a strange flutter. She feigned indifference. "I’ve already finished all my studies. It doesn’t really matter if I go to school or not."
Bo Xichen thought for a moment, then smiled faintly. "Alright."
This matter, however, couldn’t be approved by him alone; the family also had to agree. It wasn’t that he couldn’t make the decision himself; he was just worried her adoptive parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bo, would be heartbroken for Anxi—
When they returned to Si Garden and were having dinner together, Bo Xichen brought the matter up.
Bo Nianyao raised an eyebrow. "Is this your idea or Anxi’s?"
Bo Xichen replied with a smile, "If it were my idea, would you disagree?"
Bo Nianyao looked at his wife. Mrs. Bo looked at her son. "Anxi is only twenty-one. She should be in school. If she’s interested in medicine, you can just teach her. Why constrain her?"
She paused, then added, "She’s still young, still growing. Don’t you dare exploit her like Zhou Skinflint."
Zhou Skinflint? Gu Anxi was a little surprised, then lowered her head and dug into her food—
Bo Xichen rubbed his forehead. "Mom, how did I become Zhou Skinflint?"
He looked at Gu Anxi, gently tugging the scruff of her neck. "Have I exploited you?"
Gu Anxi just kept her head down, intent on eating.
Even Bo Nianyao couldn’t help but say, "Stop teasing her. Let the child eat properly."
Gu Anxi giggled secretly. After a moment, she sat up straight and said seriously, "Actually, it was my idea. Aunt Bo Jin is busy with her romance, and Bo Xichen and I are already an old married couple. It’s time we contributed to the family."
This statement left Bo Nianyao and his wife not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
She’s only twenty-one, and Xichen is just twenty-nine! They’ve been together for less than a year—how on earth did they become an ’old married couple’?!
And the child said it all so seriously.
However, Anxi had indeed thought this through carefully. Bo Jin was currently very happy with that Robert, who also flew all over the world. Bo Nianyao and his wife both hoped Bo Jin would lead a good life. Furthermore, Bo Jin was already over forty, and they genuinely didn’t want her to waste any more of her years on the Bo family.
Bo Nianyao looked at Gu Anxi. "Anxi, what are your thoughts?"
Gu Anxi sat up straight. "This is what I’m thinking: Aunt Bo Jin can be promoted, and I’ll directly take over her position. That way, no one will object."
Bo Nianyao was greatly relieved inwardly. This child is so thoughtful. Bo Jin will likely be very touched when she finds out, he mused, admiring her immensely. Outwardly, however, he deliberately feigned concern. "You’re so young. If you become the Deputy General Manager, won’t people object?"
Gu Anxi smiled. "I’m the major shareholder of An Pu. Who would dare object to me working for Cloud He Group?"
Bo Nianyao had also been worried that she was too young to command respect, but seeing her current demeanor, he was completely reassured. When he returned to the bedroom, he praised her extensively to Mrs. Bo again.
Mrs. Bo was naturally very pleased. She gently placed her hand on Bo Nianyao’s shoulder. "Now you see why I doted on her so much back then, don’t you? This child is more than just one in ten thousand, isn’t she?"
Bo Nianyao grasped his wife’s hand, feeling immensely gratified. "We’re getting old. It’s time for the younger generation to step up."
Mrs. Bo beamed. "So, we’ll just watch then?"
Bo Nianyao, ever perceptive, said, "Alright, we’ll just watch."
He sighed. "Anxi is still young. They can get married in a year or two and have children later. Although she seems mature, she’s still a child at heart. Let her play for a few more years. We shouldn’t rush them either. Isn’t it good like this now?"
Mrs. Bo quite agreed. "Yes, Anxi is still so little. I really can’t imagine her having children. But Nianyao, if they do have a child... we can help take care of it! They can do whatever they want!"
Bo Nianyao chuckled. "Deep down, you still want to hold a grandchild."
Mrs. Bo glanced at him. "You say you don’t, but don’t you want one in your heart?"
They looked at each other and smiled. After a moment, Bo Nianyao pillowed his arm behind his head and chuckled. "Xichen and Anxi’s child... can you imagine how outstandingly beautiful they’ll be?"
Mrs. Bo also smiled. "Indeed. It would be best if they were willing to have several children."
Bo Nianyao gently chided her, "Just dream on, but don’t you dare rush them!"
The child is still so young! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

「The next day」
Gu Anxi went to Beicheng University to complete the official withdrawal procedures.
The entire Beicheng University was utterly shocked!
Principal Shen was beside himself, desperately trying to persuade her to stay. "You’re doing so well! Why are you suddenly not attending anymore?"
Gu Anxi stated frankly, "I’m going back to inherit my family’s billion-dollar fortune."
Principal Shen: ...
