At this point, the agreement was reached, and Bo Xichen had also explained his behavior from the night before.
As for Wang Keru, she had completely emerged from the shadow of her impending divorce, fully revived, her energy bar full, and ready for a showdown!
Close to noon, Bo Xichen invited Wang Keru to Si Garden for lunch. Wang Keru, also concerned about her daughter, readily agreed.
She was extremely pleased with Bo Xichen; he was handsome, from a good family, and possessed impeccable manners. Although he had won over their precious daughter, he had meticulously ensured that both her family’s honor and their private concerns were fully addressed.
When she thought about Qin Siyuan, Wang Keru would secretly think to herself, Indeed, the best ones always come later.
Bo Xichen brought Wang Keru back to Si Garden just before noon. The car had barely stopped when all the household staff at Si Garden, from managers to junior servants, lined up and bowed at a ninety-degree angle, saying, "Greetings, Madam."
Wang Keru, despite her own wealthy upbringing, was somewhat taken aback by the overwhelming sight of nearly a hundred people. This must be what they mean by ’servants as numerous as clouds’!
Naturally, a dignified woman like her wouldn’t lose her composure and embarrass her daughter. She casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing the large diamond ring on her finger, and said with a reserved smile, "There’s no need for such formality."
"Of course, there is." Bo Xichen’s mother approached, as refreshing as a spring breeze, and affectionately took Wang Keru’s arm. "From now on, this is your home too. Feel free to command any of them. If their service is lacking in any way, just let Xichen deal with them. Xichen is very adept at managing people; he keeps them all perfectly in line."
Wang Keru thought, Does that mean her Gu Anxi is also kept perfectly in line by Bo Xichen?
But then, the thought that her daughter was protected by such a powerful man filled her with pride once more. Looking at the grand display of nearly a hundred servants, Wang Keru felt that after decades of living, she had finally found the meaning of life! New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
This is a true wealthy and influential family! she marveled. This is true aristocracy! The Qin family is nothing compared to this!
Meanwhile, Bo Xichen’s mother, while chatting warmly with Wang Keru, shot Bo Xichen a look and whispered, "What’s wrong with you? It’s almost noon, and Anxi still isn’t awake!"
Bo Xichen’s face grew warm. He replied solemnly, "I will be more mindful in the future."
His mother lightly pinched his arm. "I’ll deal with you later."
Then she huffed softly, "Honestly, you don’t know how to hold back at all."
Whatever his mother said, Bo Xichen accepted it, deeply respecting his elders.
Observing this, Wang Keru felt even more content. My daughter truly has excellent taste in men, she thought.
Look at this mansion, as grand as a palace! Look at these servants, as numerous as clouds! And look at this Xichen of hers—even more handsome than a movie star, and with such an outstanding character...
Wang Keru was immensely satisfied.
Bo Xichen’s mother then led her to a guest room for tea. There, she casually mentioned her son’s many outstanding qualities, hoping that Wang Keru, as his mother-in-law, would also grow fond of him. (As for her own future daughter-in-law, Anxi, Bo’s mother would be the one to dote on her.)
The more Wang Keru listened, the more thrilled she became, truly feeling that her life had reached its pinnacle. As for divorcing Qin Han, that hardly mattered anymore.
Thanks to his mother running interference, Bo Xichen managed to slip away.
He returned to the Orchid Room. Sure enough, Gu Anxi still hadn’t woken up.
She was curled up under the blanket, with only a few strands of her jet-black hair peeking out against the pillow.
Standing by the door, Bo Xichen couldn’t help but recall her soft, tear-tinged whispers and his own coaxing words from the night before... A slight warmth crept into his face.
He walked over, bent down, and gently pulled back a corner of the blanket. "Time to get up."
Gu Anxi snuggled her face deeper into the pillow... but a few seconds later, she opened her eyes, and they met Bo Xichen’s.
He said with a smile, "It’s almost noon, and your mother is here for lunch. Don’t you want to get up?"
Gu Anxi sat up abruptly, ruffling her hair sleepily. "My mom’s here?"
