Chapter 1092: Chapter 1091: Anxi’s Period Is Late!
Shen Wanqing shook her head and leaned coquettishly in his arms: "Kefu, I will definitely give birth to a son for you."
Wang Kefu pinched her cheek, coaxing casually, but his mind was a chaotic mess... thoughts wandering.
Shen Wanqing wasn’t a fool. Seeing him like this, she was both dissatisfied and unwilling to look at his face, so she found an excuse to go downstairs.
As soon as she went downstairs, she saw the Wang family’s second sister-in-law knitting yarn in the living room. Seeing her come down, Gu Xiufen smiled: "Cozying up with the eldest upstairs, huh."
Shen Wanqing felt a bit embarrassed and went over to help the Wang family’s second sister-in-law with her tasks.
The Wang family’s second sister-in-law looked at her, still smiling: "Not to be judgmental, but you’re too honest. Just because the old man doesn’t allow you to be close doesn’t mean you should neglect the eldest. Even though the eldest is older, you two are still newlyweds. How could there not be some craving to be close? Besides, you need to find ways to capture his heart."
Shen Wanqing felt somewhat touched, responding softly: "I understand."
Gu Xiufen leaned closer: "By the way, I’ve heard some unpleasant rumors."
Shen Wanqing’s heart sank, seeing her expression the second sister-in-law hesitated: "Not sure if I should tell you."
Shen Wanqing urged her to speak, and Gu Xiufen lowered her voice: "The eldest didn’t come home last night. Today, there are rumors that someone saw the eldest leaving the hotel with that particularly good-looking Dr. Lu. Wanqing, you need to be careful. No matter the other issues, this one, if mishandled, could really anger the old man, affecting your status as well."
Shen Wanqing forced a smile: "But Dr. Lu..."
"I mean no harm! Recently, the eldest has been obsessed with opera, fantasizing about living as a rich gentleman from the past, showering opera stars with money. That Lu guy is stunningly beautiful, probably looks like a true beauty when dressed up, it’s no wonder the eldest is enchanted like that." The second sister-in-law spoke earnestly.
Shen Wanqing was well aware of this, she just didn’t expect Wang Kefu would actually...
She wanted to ask but didn’t dare.
The second sister-in-law patted her hand, comforting: ’Actually it’s not a big deal, just a hobby of listening to some operas which doesn’t mean much.’
Shen Wanqing responded softly, biting her lip, saying nothing for a while.
The second sister-in-law smiled again: "Alright, as long as you know what’s going on, it’s best to hurry and have the child to secure your position. When the eldest wanders, keeping him by your side is what’s important."
Shen Wanqing remained silent.
She indeed had no bargaining chip besides the child in her belly. Even when the man went out to amuse himself, she had to endure it; even his hobbies were something she pretended not to know...
Ultimately, it all came down to her not having a good family background or strong support, just thinking about it made her particularly resentful and envious of Gu Anan.
This matter became a thorn in Shen Wanqing’s heart... Reality pressed her so hard she could hardly breathe.
Wang Kefu came home less and less, almost treating her like a transparent person; luckily his attitude was okay, just not affectionate. She knew she looked bad since getting pregnant, belly big and spots appearing on her face, while outside he found girls more radiant than ever...

Summer faded to autumn, and soon it would be the winter solstice.
In Jiangcheng, the first snowfall arrived.
At dusk, the sky had turned slightly dark, Bo Xichen’s car slowly drove through the black ornamental gates. Passing through the courtyard, he saw a little girl bundled up squatting there, diligently building a snowman, and his serious father next to her holding a shovel, energetically shoveling snow for his little one, both old and young quite happy.
Bo Xichen got out of the car, raising his eyes to watch the snowflakes drifting down, then walked over, "Covered in snow, aren’t you cold?"
Saying this, he patted her, lowering his head to glance at her little face.
Gu Anan lifted her little head, "Uncle, you’re home early today."
He nodded, "Today’s experiment went smoothly."
After speaking, he gave her a hug: "Gained a bit of weight."
She had been ill lately and lost some weight, finally gaining some back recently.
Gu Anan obediently let him hold her, feeling his warmth, by now Bo Nianyao stood with the shovel in hand: "Xichen, take a look at the masterpiece your little one and I made, how is it?"
Bo Xichen smiled slightly: "Looks quite adorable, is this a rabbit?"
Gu Anan nodded: "Yeah, three rabbits."
Bo Xichen examined them carefully, his smile deepened: ’The biggest one is your Bo Daddy.’
Gu Anan shouted in protest, jumping from behind to cling onto his shoulder, saying it wasn’t true, while Bo Nianyao was left dumbfounded: "This is clearly a female one."
Both amused and annoyed afterwards.
After the laughter, the family went inside the hall, where the heating was quite sufficient, the auntie’s meal was ready, Ah Xiang brought it out, finally serving a thick soup, greeted them warmly when they came in, saying: "This soup smells delicious."
She was brought from the Wang family by Gu Anan, well-behaved and likable, Gu Anan also liked her and planned to bring her to Beicheng in the future.
Gu Anan sat down, inhaling deeply: "It really smells good, ask Auntie to serve you a bowl too, drinking it in snowy weather warms the stomach."
Ah Xiang sweetly responded.
Gu Anan patted the spot beside her: "Uncle, come eat quickly."
Bo Xichen washed his hands, returned to sit down, Bo Nianyao sat at the head position, "See, only thinking of your uncle, Bo Daddy spent all afternoon shoveling snow for you at this age, and you don’t think of me when eating."
```
Gu Anxi placed a large drumstick in front of him, and Bo Nianyao was immediately overjoyed, taking a sip of sake, he said, "The snow scene in Jiangcheng is quite nice. It’s a pity your mother, Bo, can’t see it with her own eyes."
While eating, Gu Anxi blinked her eyes, looking somewhat adorable, "When the snow stops, let’s bring your mother, Bo, over."
Bo Nianyao didn’t respond, it was easier said than done. Today was a special circumstance that allowed him a day of leisure. Bringing Lin Yun over would be great, but he might not have the time. Besides, he was also worried about the elderly father at home.
Looking at Bo Nianyao, Gu Anxi felt a bit sad. Though he didn’t say it, she thought that over the years, Bo’s father and mother probably hadn’t been apart much. Yet now, they would be separated for several months.
She bit her lip, wanting to speak but held back.
Bo Xichen glanced at her, smiled, and poured her a bowl of nourishing soup.
Gu Anxi looked at him reproachfully, then obediently drank it.
At bedtime, she couldn’t sleep, twisting and turning. Bo Xichen pinched her cheek, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Anxi turned her head, softly saying, "Nothing."
He smiled, reached out to stroke her hair, and said nothing, just lay there quietly.
After a while, Gu Anxi spoke softly, "Is Bo’s mom not feeling well recently?"
In the darkness, her eyes sparkled, "Uncle, are you very worried?"
"Not really worried," Bo Xichen said, then sighed.
Gu Anxi murmured and rested her little head on his shoulder without saying anything.
Early the next morning, the snow had stopped, and the sun was out, making everything outside dazzlingly white.
As the three of them ate breakfast together, Bo Nianyao teased, "Awake so early today?"
Gu Anxi looked at him and suddenly pulled out a receipt from her pocket.
Bo Nianyao took it and looked at it, stunned –
It was a flight permit for a private jet from Jiangcheng to Beicheng. He took another look at Gu Anxi; she was dressed neatly, clearly ready to go out.
Bo Nianyao was momentarily speechless...
Gu Anxi coughed lightly, "No need to be too moved, it’s only for half a month."
Bo Nianyao was incredibly excited, "Half a month is good, half a month is good."
It had been a while since he had seen his wife. He missed her a lot and was worried. Over the years, she had been in good health, but since the autumn, she hadn’t been well. He thought it might be because he wasn’t there to take care of her. He wanted to go back, but he couldn’t leave things here behind.
Thinking about the matters here, he hesitated again. Gu Anxi said matter-of-factly, "Just go back to visit, remember to come back and pay me my salary."
Upon hearing this, Bo Nianyao laughed, "You’re still a little money-grubber."
Gu Anxi whispered, "Do you and mother Bo have another baby?"
Bo Nianyao felt a tender affection; he wished he could hug and kiss the little one. These days, he often felt like the little one was probably their biological daughter from a previous life. As for Xichen, he had no idea where he came from.
The two of them were as affectionate as a real father and daughter, Bo Xichen touched his forehead and laughed quietly, "Seems like I’m just a tool person."
Bo Nianyao said earnestly, "You should thank me and your mother for raising you so well, so you can be worthy of our little one."
Bo Xichen: ...
At this moment, Ah Xiang came to deliver the soup and heard this, covering her mouth with a smile.
Bo Xichen also smiled, "Father is really biased."
Bo Nianyao replied earnestly, "That’s because the little one is thoughtful."
Once he finished speaking, feeling a strong urge to return, he gave some instructions to the two young ones before packing up and flying to Beicheng. Only at the airport did he realize the private jet was the ’Ke Ru’. Well, the ’Ke Ru’ it would be.
After sending off Bo Nianyao, Bo Xichen pinched Gu Anxi’s little head, "You got up early for this matter?"
Gu Anxi hugged his arm, "A favor done in passing. I need to go to the lab to extract data this month anyway, so I conveniently took care of Bo’s father’s share."
Bo Xichen smiled, took her to the parking lot, and once in the car, he said, "Then you might not be able to sleep in every day."
She murmured, "For Bo’s father’s happiness."
"That’s very good." He pinched her cheek, his heart suddenly moved, then he quietly looked at her.
Gu Anxi stared at him, somewhat foolishly, "Uncle, what’s wrong?"
He continued to look at her, after a while, he smiled slightly, "Nothing."
"You might be hitting menopause early too, go to a specialist tomorrow?" she mumbled mischievously and with ill intent.
Bo Xichen turned the steering wheel to leave the airport, then laughed lightly, "Don’t you know if I’m hitting menopause early?"
