Chapter 586: Chapter 587: Big Brother is Definitely Carrying This Pot, 2500 Words

The little milk spirit looked at him earnestly, protesting, "I’m just telling the truth!"

Bo Xichen, half exasperated and half amused, leaned towards her, his voice low. "Then, shall we have a child?"

She sprawled on the sofa and turned her head. "It seems like you missed an important step."

"Really?" He chuckled. "Didn’t you already propose? My not-so-demure young lady."

"When was I not demure?" Gu Anxi grumbled. "I’m actually very conservative."

He laughed, sat on the sofa, and then gently tugged her over. "Really? So conservative, yet you proposed to a man?"

She maintained her confident air. "You’re not just any man!"

He glared at her.

Gu Anxi said softly, "You’re my uncle!"

After saying this, she moved to hug him, cooing sweet nothings and praises. At times like these, she always knew exactly what he wanted to hear...

Bo Xichen tugged at her hair and chuckled. "I’m easy to fool, but your older brother isn’t. What you’re doing now is trying to make him take the fall for this."

The little milk spirit, of course, knew that her older brother would be a tough nut to crack, but she pouted, "Uncle, why do you always bring up other people?"

She wrapped her arms around him possessively. "Don’t say any more."

Her small face pressed against his chest. "Say something nice to me."

Bo Xichen chuckled and tapped her lightly. "Haven’t you heard enough sweet talk from your older brother already?"

She giggled in his arms. "Uncle, you’re jealous."

He grunted, holding her closer and lowering his head. "A little. But it’s manageable."

Gu Anxi exclaimed excitedly, "Then I’ll say something nice to you!"

He smiled, a soft, gentle laugh. She looked up at him, about to say something, but then couldn’t help but burst into laughter...

Uncle Bo playfully tapped her little head. "Naughty girl."

The little rascal was eventually disciplined, and quite severely at that.

「The next morning.」

While still buried in her quilt, she received a call from her older brother. Reaching for her phone on the pillow, she answered, "Hello?"

King Jingyao was furious on the other end. "You’ve got some nerve, you ungrateful wretch, targeting me with your schemes now!"

Gu Anxi yawned, leaning on Uncle Bo’s shoulder. "What is it now?"

King Jingyao roared, "Get yourself over to Grandma’s place right now!"

After a pause, he added, "Zhou Yu is there," and then abruptly hung up.

That little rascal! So damn cunning! Zhou Yu’s pregnant, and she actually ran to Grandma’s! Once Grandma softens, she’ll definitely want to help! This kind of rotten idea could only have come from Gu Anxi.

King Jingyao was utterly furious. The little milk spirit, however, remained unfazed. She glanced at her phone, then at Bo Xichen with a worried look. "My older brother might be having an early midlife crisis."

Bo Xichen chuckled, getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom. Then, he leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. "Actually, at your older brother’s age, it’s not considered early for that."

The little milk spirit gazed at him, then slowly approached, wrapping her arms around his waist and asking softly, "Uncle, are you jealous?"

He didn’t answer, just pinched her nose gently and went to brush his teeth.

Gu Anxi made a face at him. "You’re the only one in my heart~~"

Uncle Bo glanced sideways at her, still smiling.

She let out a playful squeal and darted around to hug him from behind, clinging to him relentlessly.

Finally, Uncle Bo, finding it a bit much, patted her. "Alright, alright, I’m not jealous anymore."

She grinned, squeezing in beside him and putting toothpaste on her brush. With their mouths full of foam, they looked in the mirror and saw themselves as an old man and an old woman. Gu Anxi laughed. "There, now we’re old together."

Fengxi’s voice suddenly shrieked in terror, "Gu Anxi is Bo Xichen’s old baby~"

Gu Anxi was speechless. Fengxi, are you asking for a spanking again?!

After breakfast, she drove herself over, bracing for the inevitable scolding.

As soon as she arrived at the Wang Family mansion, her older brother’s temper was flaring. He was even unleashing his fury on Zhou Yu!

"Look at you! At your age, and you’re pregnant!" Her older brother paced back and forth. "Don’t you know how twisted Min Xin can be?"

Zhou Yu sat there silently, her expression demure and submissive.

Her older brother looked at her, instantly suspecting she’d learned these mannerisms from Gu Anxi, and launched into another tirade. Truly, only those with the deep bond of childhood friends could scold each other so unreservedly.

The Old Lady couldn’t bear it any longer. "How can you scold her like that? When things like this happen, isn’t it usually because you men can’t control yourselves?"

King Jingyao was speechless, his lips moving but no sound emerging.

Just then, Gu Anxi walked in. Before King Jingyao could speak, the Old Lady said decisively, "Anxi, come and be the judge. Can Zhou Yu really be blamed for this?"

Gu Anxi slowly walked over. "Of course not!"

The Old Lady was immensely gratified and shot a look at her exasperating son. "See? I told you so!"

King Jingyao was exasperated. "Mom, you don’t understand!"

In his desperation, he blurted out, abandoning all tact, "This little devil wants me to take the fall! She wants me to tell Min Xin the child is mine!"

The Old Lady was dumbfounded.

Initially, she had thought it was just a matter of helping out, perhaps arranging for Zhou Yu to go abroad to have the baby quietly. Jingyao certainly had the means to arrange that. But now, it seemed Jingyao’s ’connections’ were to be used in a much more direct way...

The Old Lady hesitated for a long moment. Min Xin, when enraged, was truly an unstoppable force. Moreover, Jingyao worked in the same general office with him. If Min Xin lost control, the consequences would be...

Zhou Yu glanced at Gu Anxi.

Gu Anxi immediately stepped forward to support the Old Lady, speaking earnestly, "This kind of secret can only be kept for so long. Besides, since they aren’t getting married, Min Xin will find out eventually. As long as we can hide it for five or six months, the baby will be bigger. Then, whether Min Xin wants to acknowledge it or not, he’ll have to, right?"

She cleared her throat. "Older brother will only have to withstand the pressure for a few months."

The Old Lady was a shrewd woman. She turned to Zhou Yu. "Is this your idea as well?"

Gu Anxi immediately interjected, "It was entirely my idea! Old Lady, you mustn’t blame Sister Zhou! Or how about this..."

She paused, thinking carefully. "Let’s just say it’s my child?"

Her mischievous suggestion made the Old Lady laugh despite herself. "Nonsense! Since when do you have that kind of ability!"

Gu Anxi immediately chimed in with effusive praise, "Exactly! That’s why only older brother has this kind of capability, right?"

King Jingyao shot her a fierce glare.

The secretary-general, also present, was utterly astounded. Could this really work? The pressure over these few months... what immense pressure that would be! Wouldn’t Min Xin completely lose his mind?

At that moment, the Old Lady spoke. "In that case, Jingyao, you should help Zhou Yu. After all, you grew up together. It’s not as if she’s asking for your life. Why make things so difficult for her?"

Min Xin really might take his life! King Jingyao thought with a bitter smile.

He looked at Gu Anxi. "Follow me to the study."

He strode off, and Gu Anxi followed, flashing a V-sign over her shoulder as she left.

The Old Lady shook her head. "So audacious! Only Jingyao indulges her like this, spoils her until she’s completely unruly."

Zhou Yu said softly, "I’m truly troubling Jingyao this time."

The Old Lady, however, felt deep sympathy for the girl she had watched grow up. "Don’t be so formal," she said gently. "I watched you grow up, and you and Jingyao share that childhood bond. Besides, from what I see, that little one of ours seems to really like you and is quite taken with you. This help they’re offering, brother and sister, it’s entirely voluntary."

Only then did Zhou Yu feel her heart settle.

「In the study.」

King Jingyao started throwing things again. This time, Gu Anxi, afraid of disturbing the Old Lady, nimbly caught everything he threw, like a circus performer.

While catching them, she yelled, "If you keep throwing things, I won’t be able to catch them all! Throw one more, and that’s over ten million down the drain!"

King Jingyao didn’t believe her dramatics for a second, snorting coldly, "Go on then, drop one and see what happens!"

His voice rose in anger. "How dare you drag me into your schemes! What was I thinking, taking in a little rascal like you, always cleaning up your messes! Why don’t you ever think about me for a change! You little rascal! You little devil! No conscience! Your conscience must have been eaten by a dog!"

Gu Anxi, maintaining her good humor, caught the last item and then, with a huff, piled everything neatly on the desk before him. "Hmph! Isn’t this a golden opportunity for you, older brother? If the child is saved, how could Min Xin possibly escape your grasp?"

Her older brother froze. "Explain yourself! If you don’t make it crystal clear, I’ll throttle you today, you little devil, and save myself the daily aggravation of being angered to death by you!"
