Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 899 - 898: A Contest Between Men—Brief and Intense

She smiled shyly and snuggled closer, burrowing her head into his neck.Bo Xichen wasn’t in the mood for work, with one arm around her, he used the other to press the intercom and gave a few instructions to his assistant: "No visitors this afternoon."

*

Gu Anxi slept soundly and didn’t wake up until five o’clock.

She opened her eyes and looked up to see her uncle stretching his body while checking emails on his phone. Sensing she was awake, he reached out to tousle her hair, "Awake?"

She lazily murmured, not wanting to get up, still lying there: "Uncle, what time is it?"

"Five o’clock." He glanced down at her, "Are you getting up?"

She continued to cling to him, softly saying she didn’t want to get up. Bo Xichen chuckled lightly, losing his urge to work, and continued handling emails intermittently chatting with her, finally rising at seven o’clock. His assistant had already prepared the evening’s dress for the banquet, and after Gu Anxi applied light makeup, they headed out together.

Jiang Family hosted the banquet for Lu Heng.

It is said that nearly all the elite from Beicheng attended, yet the Bo Family remained elusive, only sending the younger generation.

The venue was the same as last time, with the same opulence...

Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi arrived with Gu Anxi driving a red Ferrari, while Uncle Bo sat in the back reviewing documents.

The car stopped with a screech, and everyone saw Little Gu donning a striking black V-neck dress, naturally getting out of the car, then opening the rear door for Professor Bo to lower his papers and step out smoothly.

Everyone was stunned.

Professor Bo was... was... How much like a long-married couple these two were!

Yet, as they stood together after alighting, their dazzling appearance left every gaze transfixed.

Such peerless faces.

Lu Heng held his wine glass, standing in the hall’s bright light, nearly crushing the glass in his grip.

"She" was so beautiful, yet belonged to someone he loathed the most.

Lu Heng felt every cell in his body clamoring, he wanted to seize her, to take her away.

He wanted to prove to her he was the superior man, better than Bo Xichen, and the rightful match for her. And she was so vibrant, he was surely the right person for her.

Lu Heng slowly approached Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi, extending a hand: "Bo Junior, you made it."

Bo Xichen shook his hand, as exchanges are often brief and intense between men.

They released their grips subtly, then Lu Heng provocatively extended a hand to Gu Anxi: "Little Gu, honored to meet you."

Gu Anxi blinked innocently and then grinned.

Handshake it is.

Upon contact, Lu Heng’s dominating strength caused a sharp pain.

Actually, Lu Heng felt pain too, because her slender fingers wore an intricate diamond ring, and it was on the ring finger.

He had no choice but to face the reality of her being married.

While his heart hurt, a fierce pain suddenly surged through his fingers.

Startled, he fixated on her angelic face.

But the little angel grinned like a little devil: "This fine needle has a diameter of 10 micrometers, now it’s three millimeters long, at most it stretches to two centimeters, penetrating the palm, and it can even stir. Dr. Lu, care to try this cutting-edge technology?"

Lu Heng stared at her fiercely.

Gu Anxi flashed a bright smile: "This is the right hand, undergo the procedure Dr. Lu, and you’ll never make it to the operating table again."

Lu Heng released her immediately, and as soon as he did, the pain disappeared, leaving him fuming.

He quickly retreated a step, hoping to address Bo Xichen, but Professor Bo was engaged in conversation with others, pretending not to notice.

Finally, Lu Heng believed in the indulgent tales.

Bo Family members, all turn a blind eye to Gu Anxi’s mischief.

Lu Heng managed a cold smile: "I will remember you."

Gu Anxi ignored him, he was a dull person.

At this point, Jiang Chaoge approached, having witnessed Brother Lu suffering earlier, she came to remind him quietly: "She has many little tricks, loves to tease and embarrass people most."

Lu Heng frowned: "Then how is she so successful in business?"

Jiang Chaoge gritted her teeth: "Who knows! Her business is managed by others, and when she goes to work at Yunxi, she sleeps till noon, nobody bothers her, and they all treat her like a delicate treasure."

Lu Heng smirked, finding it rather intriguing.

Just then, Jiang Chaoge spotted Lin Hua arriving.

Lin Hua’s arrival was orchestrated by Jiang Chaoge, using various means, but in the end, Lin Hua was here.

Tonight, she had invited Lu Heng, the rumored ghost doctor.

So, King Jingyao would value her more, tonight, in front of Lin Hua, she would prove who held the throne, and who was stuck in the shadows.

Jiang Chaoge’s glance, and Gu Anxi discerned her cunning instantly, her smile sweet: "Chaoge sister, aren’t you usually quite magnanimous? Why so impatient now?"

Jiang Chaoge froze, internally fuming, outwardly smiling, "I don’t understand what you mean."

Gu Anxi walked gracefully to the crystal bar, picked up two cocktails, Jiang Chaoge assumed one was for her, poised to accept it gratefully with a thank you, but Gu Anxi turned and handed it to Lin Hua with a smile.

"Thank you." Lin Hua smiled softly, reaching out to take it.

Gu Anxi comfortably leaned against the sofa back, cheerfully chatting with Lin Hua.

Though Lin Hua had slimmed down considerably, today her complexion was good, she looked radiant.

At that moment, Jiang Chaoge left, Lin Hua paused before saying, "Anxi, thank you for looking after Feng Mian."

Gu Anxi sighed: "He’s my friend too, not so much looking after."

Lin Hua smiled.

Gu Anxi gazed at her, finding her even more beautiful than before, perhaps due to... the elder brother?

When no one else was around, she could voice her heart: "Lin Hua, I know you can’t let go of Feng Sheng for now and with the elder brother, it may feel transactional on your part, but not for him. He could avoid difficulty, yet if he didn’t like you enough, he wouldn’t decide that way, especially given the current situation."

Lin Hua pursed her lips, fell silent.

Gu Anxi gently sighed: "Aside from anything else, I just ask you to be a bit fair to him, he’s over forty, and finding a wife isn’t easy. And you loved him so much before."

"You still care about him?" Lin Hua smiled faintly.

Gu Anxi playfully grinned: "No choice, he’s an old-timer now, how can I hold a grudge forever?"

The fallout happened, yet no party struck decisively, reaching no point of life and death, even deploying Jingchuan to her side as undercover, truly cunning.

With her words, Lin Hua chuckled lightly.
