Mother Bo was quite satisfied, but then she couldn’t help but worry. "And Anxi’s mother? Is there no problem there?"
Last night, her son brought a living, breathing person home. Everyone in Si Garden knew about it. Now that Anxi was part of the Bo family, they had to give her mother an explanation.
Bo Xichen gave a faint smile. "I’m going to meet Anxi’s mother shortly. I wanted to inform you and Father beforehand."
He paused for a moment. "Mother, please take care of Anxi. I might return a little late." Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
He was always exceedingly careful when it came to matters concerning Gu Anxi. He wouldn’t let her suffer the slightest grievance and planned everything meticulously for her.
Mother Bo expressed her approval. "You’ve been very thoughtful. Why don’t you visit her first, then invite Anxi’s mother over for lunch? Later, your father and I will choose an auspicious day to visit Qingcheng. After all, adding a new member to the family is a significant event that deserves a proper celebration."
Taking care of Anxi? That would be wonderful! I’d love to look after my little treasure Anxi every day!
Father Bo naturally agreed too.
Bo Xichen didn’t have breakfast with his parents. Instead, he drove straight to the Yun Top Hotel to meet Wang Keru for breakfast. He had chosen a private room to ensure their privacy.
Wang Keru also hadn’t slept well all night. Seeing Bo Xichen now, but not Gu Anxi, only made her worry more.
Bo Xichen personally pulled out a chair for her, sat down next to her, and asked the manager to bring two breakfasts.
Once the manager had left and they were completely alone, Bo Xichen gently placed a birth certificate on the dining table and lightly pushed it towards Wang Keru.
Wang Keru looked at him, picked it up in a daze, and then her eyes widened in astonishment.
"Professor Bo, this... Was Anxi born in Beicheng?" Her lips began to tremble.
She had never known any of this. Back then, when Yun Tian handed her the baby, she had thought Anxi was adorable and beautiful. She had only wondered why such a lovely child would be abandoned.
Bo Xichen offered a faint smile. "Auntie, please call me Xichen from now on."
Wang Keru stared at him, still dazed.
Bo Xichen lowered his gaze. "Anxi stayed at my place last night. I will take full responsibility."
Wang Keru looked at the prize boar before her, then thought of the tender cabbage back home. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to be angry or pleased...
The shock was too much! Anxi’s true parentage, and now she’s been snatched away by this prize boar...
She finally pinpointed the logical inconsistency. "Xichen, Anxi found out about her background, but... why did you bring her to your home?"
Bo Xichen was exceptionally handsome, possessing an innate aristocratic grace. Even in this awkward situation, he remained composed. "I just wanted to make her happy."
But I think you’re the one who’s even happier, Xichen!
Any mother would feel a pang at a time . I can still remember what Anxi looked like when I first brought her home... and now she’s been spirited away... As she looked at Bo Xichen again, her gaze filled with a myriad of complex emotions.
Bo Xichen’s face grew slightly warm. He explained a few things quietly, then waited for Wang Keru’s reaction.
Wang Keru’s fighting spirit returned, and she declared loudly, "Of course Anxi is my daughter!"
She patted the back of Bo Xichen’s hand. "Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone bully her."
She chuckled. "They didn’t want her before, and they certainly can’t have her now. We don’t care a whit about the Gu family of Beicheng, even if their home were an imperial palace. Let them get on with their own scheming and plotting. My Anxi is very innocent."
... (A little foreshadowing here: Wang Keru will eventually find out just how "innocent" her darling girl truly is! I practically coughed up blood writing these last two Chapters—I hope you all enjoyed them!)
