Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1095 - 1094: Shen Wanqing Miscarried

Bo Nianyao pondered for a moment: "You’re right, let’s see the situation and discuss it at the time."He paused and lightly coughed: "Madam, isn’t there a more important matter to attend to now?"

Lin Yun gently pushed him away: "I don’t know..."

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand was seized, and Bo Nianyao pulled his wife gently into his arms, saying hoarsely, "I really missed you over these months."

...

The next day, Lin Yun’s father, Old Lin, came to oversee Si Garden. With such a figure present, everyone at Si Garden dared not act rashly. He was nothing like Old Bo; he was a man of stern impartiality.

Although he was her father, Lady Bo still carefully explained a few things, and Old Lin waved his hand: "Alright, alright, you go ahead with your business. This old body of mine is strong, no need for you to worry."

Lin Yun smiled: "Alright then, I’ll go pack some luggage."

She returned to the bedroom to pack, while the men talked about business. About half an hour later, Bo Nianyao returned to the bedroom and saw his wife had prepared several large suitcases. He smiled: "So many things."

"Indeed, the whole family is going. Besides, Wanqing is pregnant, so we need to prepare more stuff. Some things that aren’t available in Jiangcheng need to be brought along. We’ll likely be in Jiangcheng for a year and a half, and maybe the child will even be born there."

Bo Nianyao sat down after adjusting his robe: "We’ll come back for the New Year, won’t we?"

Lady Bo nodded in agreement and then prepared some essentials for the short term. Despite this, they packed the trunks of several cars full when they departed... The plane arrived in Jiangcheng quietly, so Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi were unaware that both elders had arrived and continued with their regular work schedules.

Of course, initially Bo Xichen wished Gu Anxi would rest at home, but Gu Anxi couldn’t stay idle. Besides, the lab truly needed her...

Nonetheless, Bo Xichen took precaution by making Chen Ming accompany her everywhere, never leaving her side.

Chen Ming was on a business trip the previous two days, so upon his return, he only noticed Bo Professor had suddenly become anxious, checking in on Anxi every hour or two. He was clueless until he drove back to the villa after work and saw Bo Nianyao and Lin Yun, realizing then something significant must have happened.

He glanced at Bo Xichen and then at Gu Anxi: "Has something big happened?"

Bo Xichen watched his parents emerging from the hall and smiled as he spoke to Chen Ming: "Anxi is pregnant."

Chen Ming was somewhat startled, "Just the other day, we were at the shooting range, and you’re pregnant, Anxi, going there still?"

"I also just found out," Bo Xichen explained before turning to the person next to him, "After what Chen Ming has said, you’ll have to stay at home like a good girl for the next nine months. If you must go out, you need your mother with you."

"Yes, yes, I know," Gu Anxi replied impatiently. Then she opened the car door, got out, and dashed toward Lady Bo.

Bo Xichen shook his head: "It’s really hard to keep her calm."

Chen Ming chuckled, "Being lively is nice. The baby born will surely be a lovely little girl just like Anxi."

Bo Xichen shook his head helplessly: "If it’s a boy, many will be disappointed. My parents are really hoping for a granddaughter."

Chen Ming scratched his head: "Isn’t a boy the same as a girl? This..."

Bo Xichen walked beside him, their footsteps crunching softly on the snow.

Meanwhile, Lady Bo hurriedly led Gu Anxi inside. As they entered, Gu Anxi removed her coat, and Lady Bo’s eyes were firmly fixed on her belly. Bo Nianyao lightly coughed: "The child isn’t big yet, what can you see?"

Lady Bo glared at him: "Even if it’s just a little bean sprout, it’s my lovely granddaughter."

Saying this, she rubbed Gu Anxi’s hands: "Wanqing, are you cold? Have a cup of hot tea."

"There’s air conditioning in the car, I’m not cold." Gu Anxi hadn’t seen her for several months and missed her dearly. Previously, she’d always be playful upon meeting, but now that she was going to be a mother, she felt awkward.

However, Lady Bo continued to pamper her like always, treating her like a child and teasing: "Even with a child, you’re still a child in Bo mother’s heart."

Bo Nianyao lightly coughed: "You should moderate. Wouldn’t this kind of spoiling lessen Wanqing’s feminine charm in Xichen’s eyes?"

Lady Bo gave her husband a sideways look: "When everyone back then treated me like a tigress, did you feel diminished?"

Alright, Bo Nianyao remained silent.

Lady Bo continued to lovingly embrace her precious darling. The men of the Bo family couldn’t bear watching, but dared not voice their concerns.

Beside them, Chen Ming watched eagerly, thinking about how exciting welcoming a grandchild must be. No wonder his mother might be feeling disappointed now.

Previously, Zhou Su left Jiangcheng in an unhappy state. Later on, he personally visited the Zhou Family to apologize because Zhou Su’s family was distantly related to Zhou Yu’s family. Their dispute left him without face before Min Xin...

Thinking about this, Chen Ming couldn’t help but think of Song Jia. She stayed in Jiangcheng for a month before leaving without a word, and they hadn’t contacted each other in these months, as if they had never appeared in each other’s lives.

He also saw her on the movie screen; she’d gone abroad and won a Golden Globe. She wore an evening gown and looked stunningly beautiful, while he sat either in front of the TV or with his phone checking the video app, realizing the gulf between them was as wide as the galaxies, she being a star in the sky and he the dust on the ground.

As Chen Ming was lost in thought, he was suddenly nudged. He looked over, it was Bo Xichen.

They found themselves on the rear terrace of the first floor, Chen Ming snapped back to reality: "Why aren’t you with Anxi?"

Bo Xichen glanced back at the lively living room and smiled: "They probably don’t need me there."

He pulled out a pack of cigarettes, offering one to Chen Ming, who was surprised: "Anxi is pregnant and you’re still smoking?"

Bo Xichen lit one up and took a long drag: "I can only sneak one."

Then he smiled: "She actually dislikes me smoking now."

Chen Ming held his cigarette, also finding it quite amusing: "Unmarried girls think men who smoke are so cool and manly, but once you’re married, they’ll tell you to go brush your teeth."

Bo Xichen was a bit puzzled: "Chen Ming, you’re not even married, how do you have this insight? Are you being set up for another blind date?"

Chen Ming shook his head with a bitter smile: "No more blind dates for now. I realize the problem might be me. I’m probably one of those tough guys who doesn’t understand women and can’t make a woman happy."

Taking another puff, he looked up: "Professor Bo, sometimes I really envy you for having everything together."

Bo Xichen walked to the railing, holding onto it, smiling: "I manage to keep things together with Anxi because I... () only have her in my heart."

Chen Ming was slightly stunned.

After a while, he asked: "You mean..."

Bo Xichen patted his shoulder: "Chen Ming, actually, there are quite a few women around you, it’s just that none caught your fancy, so none of them worked out. Ask yourself, what do you really want?"

With that, he stubbed out his cigarette and slowly walked back into the living room, leaving Chen Ming there in confusion.

How could he be not focused, even wanting to focus requires a target, right?

But Bo Xichen’s words echoed in his mind again—

Chen Ming, ask yourself, which one do you really want?

He scratched his head. What did he want? He didn’t want anyone!

Chen Ming didn’t want to think about it either, so he put out his cigarette and went inside. Today, the house was particularly lively. Manager Ma had returned from out of town, and there was a small family banquet at home. Auntie and Ah Xiang were also having dinner together, and everyone gave some small gifts of good luck, delighting Gu Anxi.

In the evening, she sat on the sofa with a pile of boxes in front of her. After Bo Xichen showered, he came over and flicked her forehead: "Did your mom give you those?"

Gu Anxi rummaged through them with her lips puckered: "No, these are from Aunt Bo Jin, Robert, the old man, grandpa, elder brother, Lin Hua, and Sister Zhou Yu... Speaking of, Sister Zhou Yu’s children must be all grown now, and Lin Hua’s belly is also quite big."

Her words carried a playful innocence, Bo Xichen chuckled and sat down next to her.

He randomly opened a box and then sighed: "The elders are just spoiling you too much."

This is only a pregnancy, yet they’ve given such valuable gifts, it’s a bit overboard.

Gu Anxi blinked: "Aren’t these for Little Sprout?"

As she spoke, she picked up a jade necklace, "These are all for Little Sprout."

Bo Xichen was both amused and exasperated: "Little Sprout? The child hasn’t even been born yet, and you’re already giving her a nickname?"

Gu Anxi glanced at him: "The child isn’t born yet, and you’re already schooling me on her behalf."

He chuckled: "Gu Anxi, are you being unreasonable now?"

"Yes, I am." She childishly hung the jade necklace around his neck, "Little Sprout, let daddy try it first."

Bo Xichen sighed but didn’t take it off...

Gu Anxi continued to organize her treasures with satisfaction, feeling like she’d hit a little jackpot.

Once she was done, she looked curiously at Bo Xichen: "Uncle, why aren’t you sleeping yet?"

He looked at her directly.

She uttered an "oh," obediently washed her face, and then crawled into bed.

Bo Xichen rubbed his forehead, sighed, and after a while... he sighed even more...

...

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden commotion downstairs, Gu Anxi woke up and turned over: "Could it be my big uncle getting into trouble again?"

Bo Xichen patted her: "I’ll go downstairs to check. You keep sleeping."

Gu Anxi thought the same. How big of a deal could it be, right? Even if the sky falls, it’s just her big uncle stirring up trouble, so she didn’t pay it much mind and continued to sleep with her head under the covers.

With her eyes closed, her fresh and delicate face buried in the white pillow, even at that moment Bo Xichen couldn’t help but watch her a little longer, his voice soft: "Don’t wait for me, just sleep."

She hugged his neck and murmured softly: "So sleepy, even if you want me to wait, I can’t."

He leaned down and kissed her, then went downstairs.

As soon as he went down, his parents were up too, along with Manager Ma and Chen Ming, quite a commotion.

As expected, it was trouble with the Wang Family’s eldest son. His woman, Shen Wanqing, had a miscarriage, losing a five-month-old child by falling on the stairs. The whole Wang Family felt quite sorry, and the old man and old lady were somewhat superstitious about it. After all, she was a woman who hadn’t officially entered the family, and a miscarriage at home wasn’t considered a good omen. So in the middle of the night, the Wang Family even invited a Taoist to their home.
