Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 295 - 296 Sweet! Little Uncle, should I coax you?
Gu Ning was left dumbstruck.
It took her a while before she could find her voice. "Gu Anxi, you are... you are... Miss Bunny?"
Gu Anxi tilted her head. "Are you surprised? Da Hui’s sweet little fairy!"
Gu Ning’s eyes were still wide with disbelief. How is this possible? How can it be possible?
Gu Anxi rested her chin on her hand, enjoying her Aunt Gu Ning’s flustered state, then said with a smirk, "Auntie, that outfit you’re wearing is amazing—so youthful! Oh, is that gift in your hand for me?"
Gu Ning shook her head. "This is surreal!"
Finally, she came to her senses and sat down across from Gu Anxi.
Then, she remembered something else and narrowed her eyes. "I heard from Tang Yuan and Mingzhu just now that you agreed to a paired photoshoot for Jia Ren magazine. I was afraid you, being so unpolished, would be completely overshadowed. Turns out you... you’re quite the little rascal, aren’t you!"
Gu Anxi calmly ordered food for Gu Ning and then replied with a smile, "I charged ten million for it. I’m not cheap. Besides, this has nothing to do with treacherous plots. I’m just earning a little pocket money."
Gu Ning squinted her shrewd eyes. "You little rascal, you’re a true Gu."
As for that mother and daughter... they really had lost sight of who they were in their wealth. Mingzhu had some talent, but so what? There were countless talented people out there. Mingzhu’s fame was merely due to her pretty face and a rich father... This little rascal in front of me, *she* is the one who truly inherited the Gu family’s legacy! Perhaps ’heaven-sent demon child’ had another meaning after all!
Gu Ning, now channeling her inner ’CEO Gu,’ narrowed her shrewd eyes. "Little one, are you interested in coming back to the Gu residence with me to shake things up? I guarantee you’ll have the final say in the Gu family from now on."
Gu Anxi rested her chin on her hand and tugged at Gu Ning’s clothes. "Little fairy, your dress is so pretty."
Gu Ning was speechless. I’m trying to discuss serious matters, and you’re going on about my clothes?
Gu Anxi kindly reminded her, "Dear Auntie, when you’re dressed like such a little fairy, you need to manage your expression. Otherwise, it’s really..."
She gave a forced smile. "...quite odd."
She added, "Look, people are staring at us."
Gu Ning glanced around and saw it was true.
They were looking at her as if she were some strange woman.
AAAHH! Gu Ning screamed internally.
Gu Anxi looked innocent. "We agreed to be each other’s little fairies, but you just had to talk about plots and schemes."
Her voice was languid. "Besides, if I wanted to fight, Gu Mingzhu wouldn’t stand a chance. I’m not interested in anything the Gu family has."
Madam Gu Ning was utterly disheartened.
But Gu Anxi was an expert at placating people and lightening the mood. In no time, she had Gu Ning forgetting about the Gu family struggles and back on the topic of "Big Grey Wolf."
Later, Gu Ning thought, If Gu Anxi is Miss Bunny, then when she does that paired photoshoot with Gu Mingzhu, it’ll be an absolute slaughter! Just imagining Tang Yuan furious but having to pretend to be magnanimous is incredibly satisfying!
As her number one fan, Miss Bunny had rewarded her generously, taking her to a Michelin-starred restaurant and even on a carousel ride. Madam Gu Ning was thoroughly content.
However, when she returned home, it suddenly struck her: Wait, I’m the elder here! Why did I let Gu Anxi lead me around by the nose like a child all evening?
The socialite Madam Gu Ning fumed. But then again, that’s Miss Bunny! Forgiven!
Before going to sleep, Gu Ning sent a private message: "Our little secret, Miss Bunny~ Love you!~"
「Si Garden.」
「Orchid Room.」
Gu Anxi was lying on her stomach on the sofa, replying to the message, when she saw Bo Xichen approaching. She quickly hid her phone.
"Who were you chatting with?" He sat beside her and held out his hand. "Phone."
He looked exactly like a stern patriarch about to inspect a child’s belongings.
Gu Anxi refused. "I was chatting with one of your ’wife fans.’"
"Oh, really?" Bo Xichen chuckled and picked up a crystal bunny from the side. "Did she give you this?"
Gu Anxi snatched it away. "This is for me."
He stroked his chin. "Isn’t she *my* ’wife fan’? How come she didn’t get anything for me?"
Gu Anxi made a face. "I’m her precious darling now."
Bo Xichen just looked at her. "You’re so many people’s precious darling now. What’s your Little Uncle to do, hmm?"
Gu Anxi snuggled up to him. "What sweet nothings do you want to hear? I’ll say them all for you."
He gave her a light pat. "No sincerity."
Gu Anxi laughed, leaned on his shoulder, and played with the crystal bunny, murmuring, "I only found out yesterday who Da Hui’s sweet little fairy is. You know her too. An elder."
Bo Xichen lowered his head. "Gu Ning?"
Gu Anxi immediately sat bolt upright, eyes wide as she stared at him.
He’s terrifyingly perceptive...
Bo Xichen smiled faintly. "Just a guess."
She leaned back against him again, mumbling, "You can’t be this smart, Uncle."
"Hmm?" He lowered his head, asking affectionately, "Why not?"
Gu Anxi grabbed his hand. "Because a child born from us would be too smart. That would be so much trouble."
A child?
Bo Xichen laughed softly. "Gu Anxi, are you hinting at something?"
She was a little dazed. "No, I’m not!"
Then she understood what he meant. She hugged him, acting cute and playful, and finally managed to wriggle out of the situation...
Once she was asleep, Bo Xichen gently covered her with the blanket. His handsome features softened with emotion in the dim light.
Actually, Anxi still cares about it, doesn’t she? No matter how capable she is, she’s still just a young girl...
「*」
The next day, Gu Ning returned to the Gu family’s main residence.
Tang Yuan greeted her politely, "Ah Ning, I heard you met the author of ’Big Grey Wolf’ yesterday."
Madam Gu Ning held her head high. "Yes, I did. Is that any of your business either?"
Tang Yuan maintained her polite tone. "I just wanted to ask, which branch of the Bo family are they from?"
Tang Yuan mused internally, If they’re close relatives, I can’t afford to offend them too badly; a subtle jab would be enough. But if they’re distant relatives from a side branch, then there’s no need to be so scrupulous.
Someone as shrewd as Gu Ning naturally saw through Tang Yuan’s calculations.
So, she chuckled lightly. "Just a distant relative. They don’t even share the Bo surname."
Tang Yuan nodded. After a moment, she asked hesitantly, "What does she look like?"
Gu Ning paused to think. "Quite tall, very skinny..."
Those weren’t exactly compliments. An image immediately formed in Tang Yuan’s mind: a typical geeky girl, with thick-rimmed glasses, no fashion sense, and an unkempt appearance...
She was completely relieved and shared this information with Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu said, brimming with confidence, "Mom, don’t worry. When she’s standing next to me, she’ll look like an ugly duckling."
Tang Yuan, however, cautioned her, "You can think that, but don’t you dare let it show on your face. Otherwise, people will say we’re arrogant. Understand?"
Gu Mingzhu nodded obediently. "I know."
Tang Yuan stroked her hair. "Alright then. Mom will go with you to the photoshoot this week. Your father said he wants to come too. Everyone’s eager to see you shine."
