Chapter 1035 - 1034: This Is the Surprise I Prepared for You
In the elevator, two little girls argued for a long time before they noticed the two men outside the elevator.The air froze, and Gu Anxi stared at them for a long time before she turned around and glared at Gu Mingzhu.
She would rather die than admit she was tricked by this idiot into saying something so stupid.
All around, it was quiet too, as the doctors and nurses getting off work at Yunxi Hospital lowered their heads, pretending not to have heard.
But the quieter it was, the more it meant everyone had heard.
Gu Anxi sniffed, feeling MMP in her heart.
Bo Xichen found it amusing, yet still cared for her, reached out to hold her hand: "Alright, let’s go home."
She followed beside him, walking quickly, her little face almost buried in his arm, and Little Uncle Bo said with a laugh: "Anxi, no one will laugh at you, you don’t need to do this."
She was like a fluffy little animal, burying her head even deeper.
Bo Xichen chuckled and said no more.
Once in the car, she sat beside him, softly asking: "A lot of people probably heard, right?"
"Heard what?" Little Uncle Bo said lazily as he fastened his seatbelt: "Heard you say you’d be relieved if Qin Siyuan wasn’t thinking about you?"
"Little Uncle!!!" she yelled, dissatisfied.
He laughed softly, reaching out to pat her little head: "Having confidence is a good thing."
She felt it hard to communicate with an older man, angrily turning her head to look out the window.
Bo Xichen started the car, and only after leaving the hospital did he say casually, "Mingzhu wants to attend the wedding?"
She nodded.
Bo Xichen smiled slightly: "Anxi, some things are in the past, Mingzhu herself doesn’t even mind and—"
He said amusingly, "And she’s full of confidence, so why should you care? If someday there are problems between Qin Siyuan and her, that’s their own issue, unrelated to your past with Qin Siyuan. It would only show they haven’t managed some post-marriage issues well, don’t you think?"
Gu Anxi turned her head, curiously looking at him, then gently bit her lip: "Little Uncle, when did you become an emotional expert?"
He focused on driving, chuckling lightly: "Self-taught?"
She said nothing, sitting awkwardly.
He smiled deeper: "Anxi, is it so hard to admit you’re willing to reconcile?"
She huffed, glancing at him, but still said nothing.
Bo Xichen didn’t press her, turning at the next intersection, heading into the city center.
Gu Anxi sat up a bit: "Where are we going?"
"A date, dinner." He smiled and explained: "Even old married couples can’t always eat at home, right?"
She nodded, wanting to ask something, but he said, "I called home."
Gu Anxi nodded again, sitting obediently.
As he drove, he said casually: "Seems we haven’t gone out for a meal in quite a while."
She thought about it, realizing it was true, and on such a night she couldn’t help but think of Brother Changqing and Ding Ning. When she came to Beicheng and dined with them, they were doing well, but now they had turned out like this.
She felt a bit sad. Unexpectedly, Little Uncle Bo seemed to guess her thoughts, smiling faintly: "Anxi, as I said, whether they stay together is their own choice."
Gu Anxi tilted her head: "You know what I’m thinking?"
He gave a soft hum.
Gu Anxi made a funny face, still finding it quite amazing.
Later, they didn’t talk much until the car stopped in front of a restaurant. She looked around: "I thought you were going to book some candlelight dinner or something."
Bo Xichen smiled: "Today might not be quite appropriate."
Gu Anxi unbuckled her seatbelt, muttering: "I feel you’ve been mysterious all day."
"Really?" He got out, walked around to hold her hand: "Maybe, there will be a surprise."
Gu Anxi looked at him curiously, following him into the restaurant: "What surprise? It’s not that cliché scene of a grand proposal, is it?"
Bo Xichen paused, turning his head: "We don’t need such extravagance."
She punched him lightly, complaining: "What do you mean by extravagance?"
He smiled, said nothing, and led her inside.
The restaurant was quite busy, but the manager immediately recognized the striking guest: "Mr. Bo is here. The guests have been waiting for a while."
Bo Xichen nodded, following the manager leading them in.
Gu Anxi muttered softly as she walked: "A private room for two people to eat?"
But she quickly stopped, "There’s a guest?"
Bo Xichen smiled slightly: "Yes, in a moment you’ll see who it is."
Gu Anxi was perplexed, unable to guess, but when the door opened, her eyes widened.
Then, her eyes moistened, and she whispered: "Yan Yan."
Besides Chu Yan, there were also Wang Qin, Fang Ming.
Even Gu Mingzhu, Qin Siyuan were there.
How did they arrive even earlier than her?
Chu Yan was the first to come over, after months apart, she was much thinner, and gently hugged Gu Anxi’s waist, murmuring: "Anxi."
Gu Anxi sniffled, pressing the little one against her shoulder: "You naughty girl, why did you suddenly come back?"
Chu Yan laughed and cried; "It’s the surprise your Little Uncle planned for you."
Gu Anxi’s nose felt sour again, turning to look at Little Uncle Bo.
Bo Xichen smiled slightly, saying nothing.
Wang Qin approached: "Alright, alright, it’s a rare return, the dishes are ready, let’s sit down together."
Chu Yan laughed: "Look at you, you’re getting more and more like the family head."
Wang Qin’s face flushed, said nothing.
At this moment, Gu Mingzhu sourly said: "I never thought the position of the Gu family’s head would fall to your big mouth."
Qin Siyuan helplessly rubbed his forehead.
Wang Qin’s face turned even redder: "I... I didn’t want it, but Mr. Gu insisted I take it, begged so much."
Gu Mingzhu couldn’t listen anymore.
Then Chu Yan said: "Gu Mingzhu, even if you lack talent, it doesn’t mean you have to be superstitious."
Gu Mingzhu glared at her.
Qin Siyuan glanced at her, and Gu Mingzhu complained: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
He just kept looking at her.
Gu Mingzhu immediately wilted: "Fine, I’ll stop talking."
Chu Yan laughed, turning to Wang Qin: "See, troublemakers get their comeuppance."
She truly didn’t expect, among them all, Gu Mingzhu would be the first to marry, at only 20 years old, knowing Qin Siyuan for just a few days, let alone Young Master Qin being so renowned, and they had clashed before, who would have thought she’d get involved with Gu Mingzhu.
