Chapter 721: Chapter 722: Let’s have the wedding in autumn, shall we?

Bo Qing put down the phone and spoke softly to Song Jiaren, who was by his side, "Notify South Africa that Operation No. 1 will proceed as planned."

Song Jiaren pursed her lips. "Senior Brother?"

"Release the news," Bo Qing ordered calmly.

Song Jiaren’s voice grew more urgent. "Shouldn’t we reconsider? Once this move is made, there’s no turning back. Unless we successfully overthrow King Jingyao, we won’t have a place in Beicheng anymore."

Bo Qing sat before the wine cabinet and chuckled. "Do you think dealing with interception systems is that simple?"

Song Jiaren naturally understood. She murmured, "But many people will die."

"Many people die every day." Bo Qing looked at her. "Beauty, when did you become so soft-hearted?"

Song Jiaren’s lips moved. Finally, she asked softly, "What about Gu Anxi then?"

Bo Qing swirled the wine in his glass. After a moment, he said, "I’m going to take her with me." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Song Jia was startled.

These days she had clearly sensed Bo Qing’s growing indifference. Perhaps being with her had just been his way to escape some pain, but when she, as a tool, could no longer help him, he had naturally discarded her.

And now, with the South Africa operation, he planned to whisk Gu Anxi away to a safe location...

Song Jiaren bit her lip tightly, not saying a word for a long while.

She didn’t understand why. Gu Anxi had brought Ai Mi Company to such a miserable state and had always opposed them. Why couldn’t Bo Qing just let her go!

Song Jiaren truly didn’t understand.

...

Meanwhile, Gu Anxi had waited until eleven o’clock at night for Bo Xichen to get off work. She was sleepy and yawning as Bo Xichen drove them home.

Fortunately, the Bo family elders were still up. When they returned, Mrs. Bo’s expression turned stern. "Xichen, you’re a grown man. How can you always have Anxi pick you up from work?"

Bo Xichen merely smiled without saying anything.

Mrs. Bo pulled Gu Anxi over, her face all smiles. "You’re back just in time! We were just discussing your wedding."

Gu Anxi gave a little "ah!" of surprise, feeling suddenly flustered, and her face turned slightly red.

Seeing this, Mrs. Bo felt even more fondness for her and continued, "Our thought is to hold it in autumn when it’s not too hot. What do you think, Anxi?"

Gu Anxi said, "Oh," nodding obediently.

Mrs. Bo looked at her son. "Xichen, you can rest assured now, right? Honestly, she’s your wife, yet we elders still had to be the ones to bring up the wedding plans."

Bo Xichen chuckled. "I thought Anxi and I were already married."

"You’ve only registered your marriage. Without a wedding ceremony, it still feels like something is missing," Mrs. Bo said delightedly. "You two just focus on your own affairs. We elders will handle all the wedding preparations."

Bo Xichen thanked them with a smile and then led Gu Anxi back to the Orchid Room.

As soon as they were inside, she hugged him from behind. "Little Uncle, you didn’t even tell me."

He lowered his head and smiled. "Actually, I’m a little more eager than you are."

Just as his mother had said, even though they had the certificate, they still lacked a proper ceremony. He longed to see her in a wedding dress, for him.

Gu Anxi said, "Oh," still hugging him.

He turned her around to face him, holding her completely in his arms, and asked her softly, "If you’re not busy, you could design your own wedding dress."

Her face grew warm as she leaned against his chest, whispering after a moment, "Should we hold off on having children for now? What if I get pregnant and can’t fit into the wedding dress, or it looks unflattering with a baby bump?"

Bo Xichen didn’t answer.

She found his silence strange. Looking up, she met his gaze. He was looking at her with a very peculiar expression, one she couldn’t look away from. Her face grew incredibly hot as she asked softly, "You’ve been in surgery all day, aren’t you tired?"

Bo Xichen’s voice was raspy. "I’m alright."

She was about to nod when he lifted her into his arms...

...

The following days were rather peaceful.

Occasionally, they would hear news about people they knew.

Zhou Yunchen’s efforts to have a child had succeeded; Shen Congwen was pregnant...

Chu Ci had gone abroad to film a major movie and would likely be overseas for more than half a year. Chu Yan had almost no contact with him. The day Chu Ci left, he visited Gu Anxi for tea, presumably hoping she would look after Chu Yan.

Gu Changqing and Ding Ning were also about to get married, though their relationship remained somewhat volatile...

Gu Yuanshan had been visiting Si Garden frequently of late, pretending he wasn’t there to see Gu Anxi. Old Master Bo always received him. After several such visits, these two, who weren’t always the most favored, surprisingly started to get along quite well...

The days passed, and soon it was the hottest time of the year.

Gu Anxi had arranged to have tea with Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu’s belly was becoming noticeable. Gu Anxi reached out with curiosity to touch it and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

Zhou Yu looked at her own belly with a soft smile. "I don’t know yet, and I don’t particularly feel the need to find out. I think whether it’s a boy or a girl, they’ll be adorable."

As Gu Anxi continued to gently pat her belly, she suddenly asked, "That night, Min Xin didn’t... do anything to you, did he?"

Zhou Yu’s face turned red. It took her a long moment before she replied softly, "No."

Gu Anxi stared at her until Zhou Yu, growing more flustered, finally said, "You know it’s... impossible between him and me."

Gu Anxi nodded. "True! But from what I see, he’s becoming increasingly shameless."

He must have found some backing recently. His elder brother had been handling many of his troubles. Min Xin had even started stationing himself at the Zhou family home daily, often shamelessly joining them for meals, and even trying to overstay his welcome...
