Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1215: Chapter 1215: A Day Apart Feels Like Three Years

King Jingyao finished speaking, and Little Wang Yue widened his eyes and somewhat puzzledly asked, "Why should we have a sibling for Bo Xin, she’s my sister."

King Jingyao smiled with a hint of mischief, looked at Lin Hua, and teased his son, "But An An is also Bo Xin’s sister. If you don’t give him your sister, how will he give you his sister?"

Little Wang Yue thought about it carefully, then looked at his mom, "Then mom, try your best."

After saying that, the little guy slid off the chair and ran away.

Lin Hua watched him run towards the car outside and shook her head with a helpless smile, "This kid."

She then looked at King Jingyao and softly said, "Are you really not going to have a good talk with Xiao Yue?"

King Jingyao chuckled, "Talk about what? An An’s matter?"

He smiled casually, "Such a little child, are you taking it seriously?"

Lin Hua lowered her gaze and silently ate breakfast for a while, then seemed unable to hold back and spoke again, "What about the sister, are you really thinking about having one?"

King Jingyao’s expression deepened, "I’ve been wanting one for a while, but things can’t be rushed."

He added, "If things don’t happen in these couple of years, let’s not pursue it. After all, I’m not getting any younger."

He wasn’t just saying that to block Lin Hua’s words but was being sincere; in two more years, he might be too old to handle a child, and Lin Hua would bear the burden.

With that, Lin Hua fell silent.

King Jingyao looked at her and laughed, "Why so serious? Those who don’t know might think it’s a big deal, isn’t Little Yue here already? Whether we have another child or not, let’s leave it to fate."

He spoke very magnanimously, then prepared to head to the office where Secretary Wang was already waiting outside.

Lin Hua also stood up, changed her shoes, and got ready to take Xiao Yue to school. Afterward, she also had to attend a wedding. Jingyao said An Xi would visit the grandmother in the afternoon, so she also had to go. As a daughter-in-law, she shouldn’t be too distant, even though the grandmother was displeased with her over Xiao Yue’s matters.

Lin Hua got into the car, and the driver soon started the engine. Little Wang Yue was feeling shy because of the earlier matter, keeping his head down and refusing to look at his mother.

Lin Hua laughed and gently asked, "What’s wrong, Xiao Yue? It’s normal for kids to like each other, isn’t it?"

"Really?" Little Wang Yue asked cautiously.

Although he was young, he could keenly sense the differing attitudes of his mom and dad. After thinking for a while, he held his mom’s hand, "Will you have a sister? I want a sister."

And not for Bo Xin, he’d raise her alone, from little princess to old princess.

Lin Hua couldn’t help but laugh again, gently patting her son’s head, "Maybe mom will get pregnant with a sister soon."

Little Wang Yue was naturally very happy. At this point, Lin Hua inevitably had to discuss Teacher Zhang’s resignation with her son. Of course, she spoke gently, not hurting her son’s feelings or involving King Jingyao. Although a bit sad, the child soon forgot about it, and mom said the new teacher was young and pretty too...

After dropping off her son, Lin Hua met up with Gu An Xi for morning tea and then went to a salon to get her hair done.

Gu An Xi noticed she’s still downcast, reached out and patted her hand, "Why are you still not happy? My elder brother specifically told Grandma yesterday to reconcile with you so you could continue taking care of Xiao Yue."

Lin Hua lowered her gaze, "I know he’s been very good to me, breaking his usual principles."

Gu An Xi sighed, "Lin Hua sister, I know you always felt regret...but in life, nine out of ten things are unsatisfactory. The current situation is already very good."

Lin Hua responded softly, "Don’t worry, I understand."

Because they are close, over the years after marrying King Jingyao, she hadn’t made many other friends, only An Xi could talk to her like this: "Between him and me... from the moment I married Jingyao, it was impossible. As for him being well later, I know it’s just peace of mind. We were meant to be parallel lines."

Naturally, after that time, she hadn’t seen Feng Sheng again, only six months later An Xi told her Feng Sheng was doing well, starting afresh abroad... Lin Hua thanked her and hadn’t asked about Feng Sheng since.

Gu An Xi smiled, "It’s good if you can come to terms with it."

Lin Hua turned to rest a hand behind her head, softly saying, "Your brother wants a child, I originally didn’t plan on having more, but now...do you think we should? If it’s a girl, he’d be delighted."

Gu An Xi chuckled, "Is it because your Wang Yue likes our An An and plans to have another for our Bo Xin?"

Lin Hua exclaimed, "How do you know?"

Gu An Xi still chuckled, "Your little guy was looking at our An An, straight as an arrow, I noticed even his little face was blushing."

Lin Hua felt amused, "Though they’re small, they’re quick to understand."

Gu An Xi also chuckled.

The two continued chatting casually for a while, had lunch together, and prepared to attend the evening banquet directly.

At four in the afternoon, Gu An Xi called Chu Yan out too, and the three casually strolled around together, then went straight to the hotel at six...

Chu Ci is the only son of the Chu family, one of the four big families in Beicheng, and now with him as the family head, naturally, it’s different. This wedding was grandly held, with a hundred and eight tables invited.

Gu An Xi looked at the setup and clicked her tongue: glad she saved at her own wedding, or with a hundred and eight tables of toasts, her legs would have broken running around, and with Chu Ci having a round of drinks, how would he manage the bridal chamber? He’d likely have turned into a jellyfish by then.

As she was thinking about all sorts of things, Chu Ci and Chu Yan started talking, "Arrived?"

Chu Yan handed over a gift to Zhao Mo Ran, "Congratulations to you both."

Looking at the pair of wallflowers, her heart actually felt a bit sentimental; she thought she might feel out of place but instead felt incredibly calm now.

Zhao Mo Ran received it with a slight smile, "Thank you, Yan Yan."

No matter her feelings for Chu Ci, she harbored goodwill towards Chu Yan, perhaps because she hadn’t fallen for Chu Ci, she didn’t bother about who he cares about or his past.

At the feast, Zhao Mo Ran changed into a couture Dior dress, showcasing outstanding elegance and beauty, even Chu Ci stole a few glances, but she remained mild...because she inadvertently heard someone say yesterday that a small star managed to cozy up to her husband again.

As for her indifference, Chu Ci didn’t show much reaction; but after the wedding ended, he didn’t let her off the hook. Now he stood by her, looking at Chu Yan, "Bai Xun has already gone in, I arranged the two of you at the same table, though not adjacent."

"Thanks," Chu Yan said lowly, nodded at Zhao Mo Ran, and went in to find Bai Xun.

Gu An Xi and Lin Hua both offered congratulations before entering the banquet hall, because of their distinguished positions, they had unavoidable social duties. At this moment, they rather envied Chu Yan’s ease.

Chu Yan found her table and, after sitting down, saw Bai Xun sitting across from her. He raised an eyebrow at her, then shamelessly asked the person next to her to change seats. Since it was a close relative of the Chu Family, the person was sensible, making room while teasing, "Bai Xun, didn’t you say you were single? How come you’re so attentive now?"

Bai Xun sat down, thick-skinned, "That’s for others to see. It’s different behind closed doors at home."

After saying that, he glanced at Chu Yan, but didn’t say anything more or act overly familiar.

In front of outsiders, he was very protective of her.

Chu Yan understood his thoughts and smiled slightly, "I’m fine."

"What did you buy yesterday?" he asked softly, "Did you get anything for me?"

He shamelessly added, "I don’t have many shirts, and my gym clothes need updating too. Plus, winter is coming soon, so you need to prepare those for me."

Chu Yan glanced at him, "How did you manage before?"

"How can being single be the same as having a girlfriend?" He huffed lightly, "If you don’t make the most of it, it goes to waste. Soon you’ll be my wife, and maybe a wife won’t be as obedient and considerate."

Chu Yan was speechless.

He really has no shame.

Just then, Gu Anxi also came over and sat right next to Bai Xun. Seeing this, others secretly nodded approvingly.

Gu Anxi came over, curious to see whose wit was sharper: her own or Bai Xun’s tongue.

Gu Anxi rested her little head, smiling, "Bai Xun, are you proposing?"

Bai Xun felt a bit flustered. Why did Gu Anxi come over?

Chu Yan coughed lightly, "Anxi."

Bai Xun immediately said, "See, Yan Yan cares for me, proving I usually treat her well."

The words were just too brazen, and they happened to be overheard by Chu Ci, who was approaching. Chu Ci’s gaze lowered slightly as he greeted the elders, and Bai Xun glanced at Chu Yan, offering a faint smile.

Today is Chu Ci’s wedding day, yet why does he seem so unenthusiastic about the newlyweds? Why even get married if there’s no joy—it’s just self-torture, and you can’t let go of yourself.

Besides, he knew a big part of why Chu Ci was doing this was because of his aunt. But if it were him, if his own mother threatened him with her life to make him give up his love, he’d just take a knife right then—wouldn’t it be self-harm? Then I’d harm myself a bit and see if you care...

It can only be said that Chu Ci missed the best timing. By the time he decided to torture himself, Chu Yan had already let go... Bai Xun didn’t feel smug, just lucky.

Love is not about who comes first; it’s about who is just right.

His hand grasped Chu Yan’s under the table, and softly he said, "I’ll be waiting for you in the bathroom."

After saying that, he got up and left.

Chu Yan:...

Gu Anxi looked at Bai with a snort, "Quite the reserved type, huh!"

Then she turned to Chu Yan, "Someone so young has you wrapped around his finger. Who does the cooking at home?"

"Bai Xun."

"And the dishes, cleaning?"

"Mostly him, I guess."

Gu Anxi propped her chin, "That’s fine then. A man who cooks can be a bit reserved, perfect for a meal companion."

Chu Yan: ...

Why did she feel that Bai Xun and Anxi were two of a kind? If it weren’t for their looks, she’d really suspect they were siblings, considering how similar their speech, behavior, and thick skin were.

Gu Anxi then lowered her voice, "You better go, tonight might be the only chance to see him. He’ll be outside for the next month, so meeting won’t be easy."

Thinking about it, it’s quite pitiful. No wonder Bai Xun wants to leave the entertainment industry; it’s hard to even date.

Gu Anxi said, giving Chu Yan a gentle push, Chu Yan left half-reluctantly with her strength guiding her. Chu Ci, who was originally socializing, accurately focused his gaze on Chu Yan’s retreating figure.

Afterward, he looked at Gu Anxi.

Gu Anxi smiled faintly—

Today you’re getting married, and you won’t even let others date?

Chu Ci said nothing, just glanced again at the direction Chu Yan left. He was acutely aware that she really didn’t belong to him anymore, and that past was just an unpleasant memory for her.

He remained silent for a while, Zhao Mo Ran following suit, with a touch of self-mockery.

In such a wedding, she didn’t even know what role she played.

Inside the bathroom.

As soon as Chu Yan came over, Bai Xun seized her hand. In the public setting, he didn’t act excessively, only holding her hand for a moment before letting go. Leaning against the wall, he lit a cigarette, "I have to start filming early tomorrow morning, staying at a hotel tonight. What about you? Are you going to Gu Anxi’s place or back to the apartment?"

Before she could answer, he surprisingly said again, "Go to her place. It’ll set my mind at ease."

After all, he’s been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and even though he’s declared himself single, he’s always worried she might get hurt because of him. So he hopes she can stay in Si Garden, which, apart from King Jingyao’s home, is the safest place in Beicheng. Moreover, Gu Anxi is quite skilled and treats Yan Yan very well.

Chu Yan lowered her eyes, quietly saying, "I’ll be staying at Anxi’s parents’ house for a while."

Bai Xun was surprised.

"Uncle Gu and Auntie also live in Maple Mountain, but in another villa. It’s not as big as Si Garden, but the view is nice. I stayed there for a few months before. When you come back, I’ll take you there for dinner," Chu Yan said, looking at him.

He looked very handsome today; she suddenly found herself missing him quite a lot.
