Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 638 - 639: Thin Uncle: Let’s Get Married

When Bo Xichen arrived home, Gu Anxi wasn’t there. He learned she had gone to the Cloud He Group, so he went to the study to discuss the South Africa trip with Bo Nianyao.

Bo Nianyao was silent for a moment. "Xichen," he said, "you need to be very careful on this trip."

Bo Xichen smiled. "Of course."

After all, it was his own son; he couldn’t truly set his mind at ease. Bo Nianyao slowly came over, patted his son’s shoulder, and sat next to him. "Where is Anxi? Have you talked to her about this?"

Bo Xichen shook his head. "Not yet."

Bo Nianyao sighed. "That kid probably won’t object. She always considers the big picture."

Father and son sat in silence for a moment until Bo Xichen suddenly said, "Father, I want to register my marriage with Anxi."

Bo Nianyao was somewhat surprised. "Register your marriage?"

Bo Xichen nodded. "Yes, register our marriage."

Bo Nianyao started laughing and patted his son’s shoulder again. "It seems like you want to get married and have children. That’s a good thing."

He then whispered, "Your mother has been desperate to hold a grandchild; she’s practically going crazy over it."

Originally, having a little one in the house would have made it less lonely. But their "cub" was very busy these days. It wasn’t just his wife; Bo Nianyao himself felt the house was a bit too quiet.

Hearing his father say this, Bo Xichen chuckled. "We’ll just get the marriage certificate for now. As for children... let’s talk about it in a couple of years. Anxi is still too young."

Bo Nianyao was slightly disappointed but still rallied. "Alright, you decide! However, having a child wouldn’t be a problem; we can take care of them. It’s been quite a few years since we last had a child in the family."

Bo Xichen chuckled again. "Well, I’ll see what Anxi thinks."

Bo Nianyao leaned over and whispered, "Xichen, I’m afraid of my wife. Are you afraid of yours too? Usually, I see Anxi listens to you quite well. Can’t you make the call on a small matter like this?"

Bo Xichen looked at Bo Nianyao, who then fell silent, but his expression clearly conveyed his thought—

I really overestimated you!

Bo Xichen found it rather amusing. When Gu Anxi returned home from work at the Cloud He Group, he told her about the trip to South Africa.

The "little milk spirit" stared at him blankly for a moment before slowly hugging his waist. "Little Uncle," she said, "let me go for you."

He patted her small head. "That’s my job."

She didn’t say anything, and he knew this was her way of agreeing. Just as he was about to discuss the marriage registration with her, the little milk spirit mumbled in his arms, "Little Uncle, let’s get married."

He gently tugged her ear. "Is Little Gu proposing to me?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She buried her head deeper into his chest. "Well, you could say that! But I can’t come up with a betrothal gift of tens of billions... My money is for my own spending."

He chuckled, holding her close. "I don’t want your money!"

He knew Gu Anxi’s net worth was now in the hundreds of billions. The Gu family was hers, the Qingcheng Gu family was hers, An Pu was hers, and the Wang Family in Jiangcheng was hers too... All things considered, she was incredibly wealthy.

Gu Anxi fiddled with her fingers. "Let’s get the marriage certificate first. Then, after you come back, we can have a baby."

Bo Xichen was somewhat incredulous. "Anxi, you want to be a mother?"

She mumbled, "I just feel like I want a child. Kids should be fun to play with, right?"

Fun to play with... Professor Bo thought it might be better not to have this child after all; Gu Anxi would probably treat it like a toy.

He looked down at her. "What did you do at the company today?"

The little milk spirit’s expression turned mischievous. "Guess?"

She added, "I bet you can’t figure it out."

Bo Xichen chuckled. "Is that so?"

Gu Anxi whispered, "It’ll give you a big surprise when the time comes."

Bo Xichen probably had an idea what it was but didn’t let on.

The little milk spirit took his hand, her touch affectionate. "Little Uncle, I want to develop something new soon. The funding might get used up pretty quickly. But once we get our marriage certificate, your money will be my money, right?"

He deliberately feigned annoyance. "So, you want to get married and even said you’d have a child for me just because you want to develop something? Is this all to coax me?"

He then said magnanimously, "Alright, tell me. How much money are we talking about?"

Gu Anxi cleared her throat. "Oh, not too much. Probably, maybe, just possibly... around a hundred billion or so!"

Even Professor Bo, from his wealthy and influential family, couldn’t help but sigh. "Gu Anxi, you really know how to burn through money."

After she cajoled him for a good while, he finally relented and didn’t press further. After all, the Cloud He Group was hers now. She called the shots and could research whatever she pleased.

Gu Anxi looked at him with adoring eyes. "Little Uncle, you’re the best."

He, in turn, recalled his parents’ words and smiled. "So, shall we have a child then?"

The little milk spirit’s face instantly turned beet red. "I was just saying that! Just teasing you! How could you take it seriously?"

Her Little Uncle not only took it seriously, he put it into action...

「Early the next morning, at breakfast time」

Gu Anxi was still sleeping in. Bo Xichen sat down and calmly informed his parents that he would be taking Gu Anxi to get their marriage license later.

Mother Bo’s jaw dropped. "So soon?"

Professor Bo looked as pleased as punch. "If all goes well, we’ll have a new addition to the family in nine months."

Mother Bo covered her face. "Oh my goodness, is this for real?"

Bo Nianyao glanced at his son, his expression unreadable, though he thought—

This son of mine is definitely more capable than I am!

Bo Xichen gave a wry smile. More capable? How so? Isn’t it just because someone needs hundreds of billions for a project!

Overjoyed, Mrs. Bo ate an extra half-bowl of rice and then happily went to the Orchid Room to find her "cub." Mmm, the moment I stepped inside, I felt like I could already smell my future grandson... How wonderful!

Gu Anxi was still asleep, and not very neatly at that, but Mrs. Bo didn’t mind in the slightest. Young people are often like this, she thought. She cheerfully tidied up the room, both inside and out, then sat by herself, beaming with joy for a long time.

I’m going to have a grandson soon! How truly delightful!

When Mrs. Bo was happy, everyone in Si Garden benefited, becoming as cheerful as if it were New Year’s. When Gu Anxi finally crawled out from under the covers, servants congratulated her everywhere she went, making her feel rather embarrassed.

Not only that, but Mrs. Bo also made a grand affair of inviting Gu Yuntian and Wang Keru, Granny Chen, along with Gu Ning, Gu Changqing, Zhou Yunchen, and a host of others. The Bo family’s guest room was packed, with dozens of people present.

Those in the know understood they were about to get their marriage license; those who weren’t might have mistaken it for a wedding celebration.

Gu Anxi entered the guest room, yawning, and was startled by the sheer number of people.

So many people, she thought. Could it be that the Old Master was so angered by Bo Qing that he actually climbed out of his coffin?

Mrs. Bo was beaming. "Cubby, we’re discussing your marriage registration banquet. If you’re bored, go off and play. We’ll take care of things here, okay?"

Gu Anxi scratched her head. Wait, isn’t this supposed to be about my marriage?

Mrs. Bo gently nudged her. "Go on, go play. Children don’t need to worry about adult matters."

However, Gu Anxi didn’t leave. She leaned against her Little Uncle, still yawning.

Just then, Mrs. Bo was discussing Cloud He Group matters with Bo Nianyao, saying that now that the youngsters were married, their "cub" should manage Cloud He’s cash flow, and Bo Nianyao would no longer need to oversee it.

To show off and highlight the Bo family’s sincerity, Mrs. Bo had specifically summoned the Chief Financial Officer of the Cloud He Group to present the company’s cash reserves.

However, when they looked at the accounts, they found it was short by seven or eight million.

Mrs. Bo was dumbfounded.

Th-th-this... We’ve completely lost face!

The CFO, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead, stammered, "Um, Little Gu recently initiated a new project, and the funds were disbursed just yesterday."

Mrs. Bo went "Oh," and said, "So that’s how it is!"

She quickly regained her imperious air. "If it’s our cub’s idea, then you must all support it fully. If there isn’t enough money, I have some here. Our cub is aiming to do great things. If she spends a hundred billion, she’s bound to earn back several hundred billion!"

The little milk spirit lowered her head. "The research might not succeed, though. It could all go down the drain."

Mrs. Bo was momentarily stunned, then quickly changed her tune. "It doesn’t matter if the money goes down the drain! Your Mother Bo has money. Whatever is lost, I’ll cover it from my dowry. I certainly won’t let the Bo family suffer a loss."

She then swept her gaze over the two Bo men. "The Bo family men aren’t that petty, are they? Making a huge fuss over such a small amount of funds?"

Everyone present broke into a nervous sweat. Had Mrs. Bo forgotten she was now a Bo by marriage? Why was she turning on her own husband and son like that?
