As soon as Manager Ma went, he cried like the world was ending when he saw Little Gu.

Just like a lost child, both heartbroken and excited, he was sniffling a lot.

Gu Anxi coughed lightly: "What’s going on?"

"Little Gu, I almost couldn’t make it back to see you." Manager Ma was just a tearful mess next to her, almost hugging her, though if it weren’t for the Bo Nianyao couple being present, he would have really hugged her.

Gu Anxi looked a bit disdainful, "A grown man, crying like this!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Manager Ma was quite old, yet he still pouted adorably, which made Bo Nianyao feel uncomfortable—

This Old Ma has been with Bo Jin for many years and never acted this way; now he’s really been influenced by the old master and turned masochistic.

Gu Anxi secretly turned her head, and with a glance, the household staff went to prepare the meal.

Over here, Manager Ma was still wailing, feeling very sad.

Gu Anxi had to console him: "Alright, alright, I know it’s been hard for you."

Manager Ma understood that he had almost achieved his goal, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking like he had survived a disaster, "Everyone, Little Gu, you guys have no idea, Mr. Wang has sharp eyes, with one glance, he scares you witless... Being able to come back this time was thanks to Little Gu’s encouragement; otherwise, I’d be a wreck."

Bo Nianyao chuckled: "Old Ma exaggerates; he’s just a baby."

Manager Ma had returned to normal by now, looking enthusiastic: "How could that be? Little Gu is extraordinarily talented."

He rubbed his hands together and added: "Xichen’s got good fortune."

Bo Nianyao naturally said a few polite words and consoled him for a moment. Manager Ma ate deliciously, felt his achievement recognized, and with Little Gu’s approval, left satisfied.

After the man left, Bo Nianyao returned and saw his wife tugging on their little one’s ear, saying with both annoyance and amusement: "Look at you, Manager Ma seems to be wearing the same pants as you now. He checks your expression before saying anything, truly remarkable."

Gu Anxi blinked: "Really?"

Bo’s wife pretended to be angry: "Did you cause this? Tonight, Mr. Wang will surely be passive at Jiang’s family party."

Gu Anxi laughed: "That’s not bad. He’s been single for a while, and anyway, there’s no hope with Sister Lin Hua, so he might as well pair with Jiang Chaoge, since both love playing tricks. They’re just perfect."

Bo Nianyao came over, lifted his robe, and sat down, taking a sip of tea: "Speaking of tricks, who’s the match for you, little one?"

Even as he said this, Bo’s dad still felt heartfelt about his little one, giving his wife a side look: ’The ear’s gone red, let go.’

In truth, Bo’s wife also felt heartache, immediately letting go, but her words were sharp as she gently blew on it.

Gu Anxi tugged her hand: "Doesn’t hurt."

Bo’s wife sat next to her, hugging, "You little fool, you say getting your ear pulled doesn’t hurt, but your cleverness with Manager Ma and that Mr. Wang? At home, you’re just cute and coy, like a wooden block."

She spoke and then started laughing herself.

Bo Nianyao also came over, reached out to gently pet the little one’s head, saying dotingly: "Not at all like a wooden block. I think it’s just great."

Bo’s wife glanced at her husband, covering her mouth laughing.

At this moment, nearby, Old Bo let out a concerned hum: "What about the Jiang Family banquet? Will the little one be put in a difficult spot?"

Bo Nianyao played with the cup in his hand, smiling at his father: "No need to worry; tonight there’s a special guest there who will give Jiang Family plenty of face."

Old Bo had his jaw dropped, stunned for a moment before asking: "Who, could it be someone more honorable than King Jingyao?"

Bo’s wife, smiling broadly: "It’s the old gentleman and lady, heard they’re afraid the little one will be bullied and followed along; tonight a few fronts will surely have a powerful showdown."

Old Bo was quite anxious: "Should our family prepare a little, too?"

Gu Anxi took a fruit and bit into it: "No need to prepare. I’ve got thick skin and plenty of blood, it’s not a problem."

Bo’s wife chuckled and fanned the little one with a fan, sending waves of fragrance...

Gu Anxi, amidst the fragrant breeze, slept a nap, waking up around four or five in the afternoon, stretched lazily, checked the time, and dialed a call to Little Uncle Bo, her voice soft: "Uncle, are you done with work yet?"

Bo Xichen just emerged from the lab, finished sequencing genes, and received her call. He held the phone single-handedly while other hand grasping data: "Yeah, almost done, coming back soon."

Gu Anxi bounced up from bed: ’Then I’ll change clothes.’

She went for a shower, with damp hair wrapped in a towel walked to the dressing room to find clothes, Orchid Room has a large dressing room, she had a wardrobe dedicated to evening gowns, all of them were latest seasonal styles and even super-seasonal ones.

Gu Anxi, wiping water off her hair, casually picked clothing, since not in a hurry music was also playing, she chose leisurely...

After hair was almost dry, she finally picked a dark-colored dress, held it up and thought it looked nice, just about to change into it when footsteps came from the door, she paused and turned around.

Sure enough, Little Uncle Bo returned, with a small sound before he opened the door and came in...

As soon as he entered, he froze, then smiled softly, hugging her from behind: "Wearing this tonight?"

Gu Anxi’s face reddened slightly, turning to push him away.

Little Uncle Bo took the dress from her hand gently helping her put it on, then his gaze settled in the mirror, smoothing her hair back quietly: "Suits you really well."

Gu Anxi’s face got even hotter, body turned to lean lightly on his shoulder.

After a while, she raised her eyes, he was looking down intently at her, all of a sudden she got somewhat uneasy, quickly laid her head back onto his shoulder.

Little Uncle Bo pinched her nose playfully, chuckling: "Time’s getting on, tidy yourself up."

Though he said so, he still personally fetched a suitable diamond necklace to adorn her, matching perfectly her dark green evening wear for the night.

Bo Xichen lowered his head, lightly brushed her nose with his: "Very nice."

As he drew closer, a mature man’s scent enveloped her entirely, she looked up unsure, "Uncle?"

Bo Xichen smiled, pinching her cheeks lightly: "Time’s almost up."

Gu Anxi: ...

Just like that, just like that...

Little Uncle Bo opened a drawer, took out a tie casually, and tied it looking at the dressing mirror. With a slight smile: "Tonight I’ll remember not to drink."

Finished speaking, he came over once more hugged her from behind, his voice somewhat hot: "Little Bo’s wife, ready to go?"
