CHAPTER 415: CHAPTER 416: SATISFYING! DARE TO HIT ON MY UNCLE, OF COURSE I HAVE TO KILL HER

Gu Anxi poured a glass of red wine for herself and Jack. "To our cooperation!"

Jack gave a bitter smile but still clinked glasses with her.

However, he couldn’t help but say, "Actually, even if you hadn’t taken these photos, I would still have chosen to collaborate with Yunxi Hospital in the end."

Gu Anxi raised her glass and smiled. "I just added a layer of insurance."

Jack was exasperated but couldn’t bring himself to be truly angry with her.

He had a fiancée and countless flings, but he had been fond of one particular girl for a very long time. A very infuriating little girl!

Shaking his head, he chuckled and drank half his glass of red wine.

"Stop acting like I’ve committed some heinous crime!" Gu Anxi slapped his shoulder hard. "I was holding my breath the whole time, afraid of disturbing your little escapade. Jack, you should be thanking me."

Jack shot her a look but said nothing.

Gu Anxi smiled, then clapped her hands. "Alright, don’t be upset anymore. You’ve got both the business and the beauty now, haven’t you?"

She hopped off the high stool, looking as if she were about to leave.

"AN!" Jack suddenly called out to her.

Gu Anxi paused. "What is it?"

Jack sat there, looking at her quietly. "I’m not as... pragmatic as you might think. If it were for another girl, I’d willingly give up my WK Company inheritance too."

Gu Anxi stood there, tall and slender, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Jack, I already have someone I like."

"I know," Jack said quietly. "AN, but I will always watch over you."

"Don’t!" Gu Anxi grinned. "It’s better if we just keep tormenting each other. Come on, stop with the profound declarations of love. Others might not know you, but I certainly know you change partners every three days."

She clapped her hands. "I’m off."

Jack smiled, watching her go.

After the door closed, he slowly poured himself another glass of wine and drank it just as slowly. Finally, he rubbed his forehead and chuckled softly to himself, "Perhaps what I said was true. If it’s not you, then it doesn’t matter who it is."

However, none of this would affect his friendship with AN. She had always been clear about her lack of romantic interest, decisively rejecting him without ever leading him on. Every collaboration with her drove him up the wall, yet he perversely enjoyed it.

Downstairs at the hotel, a sports car was parked. It was Zhou Yunchen’s.

Gu Anxi nonchalantly opened the car door and sat beside him. "So tiring! That took a while."

Zhou Yunchen looked at her.

She waved the item in her hand. "Dr. Jiang put in the effort, I put in the money!"

Zhou Yunchen couldn’t help but laugh. "Anxi, your skill at taking digs at people seems to have improved significantly."

Gu Anxi leaned back against the seat and yawned. "Really? I was genuinely complimenting her!"

Recalling those scenes, they were quite something! Who would have thought!

Gu Anxi smiled triumphantly, completely satisfied.

By the time she returned to Si Garden, her Young Uncle still hadn’t come back; he must have been very busy.

Gu Anxi decided to wait for him. She took a shower and then sprawled on the sofa to admire the photos. She even texted Jack, asking him to "provide some in-depth guidance," which made Jack so furious he wanted to curse.

Only then did Gu Anxi let him off the hook and continue admiring the pictures by herself. She was so engrossed that she didn’t even notice when Bo Xichen returned.

Too late—the photos were snatched from her.

Gu Anxi looked up, pouting. "Young Uncle..."

"Been up to no good?" Bo Xichen chuckled, sitting down and looking through the photos one by one.

Gu Anxi didn’t dare to try and sweet-talk her way out of it; she just sat there quietly with her head bowed.

"You took these?" Bo Xichen lightly tapped her head.

The Little Minx immediately sprang up. "I was inside the whole time! I didn’t want to disturb them. It’s not my fault they were too engrossed."

Bo Xichen waved the photos.

The Little Minx cried out, "AHA! Business requires special tactics, doesn’t it? Jiang Chaoge gave it her all, so of course, I couldn’t fall behind. I can’t let Young Uncle look down on me, nor can I disappoint Father Bo, right?"

Bo Xichen was both amused and exasperated. "And now you’re justifying taking secret photos?"

Gu Anxi immediately presented the freshly signed contract. "This is the agreement Jack signed."

Bo Xichen gave it a cursory glance and was somewhat surprised.

This was practically an exploitative contract Gu Anxi had gotten him to sign. WK Company was restricted to cooperating only with Yunxi Hospital, and for a term of ten years.

He fixed his gaze on her, asking softly, "How did you get him to sign it?"

The Little Minx, as if jolted by an electric shock, immediately blurted out, "He did it voluntarily! I just... if he hadn’t agreed, I would have sent those photos to England. Young Uncle, you understand."

Bo Xichen was truly both amused and exasperated. At his wit’s end with her, he finally flicked her forehead lightly.

He took off his jacket, unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, and walked towards the bathroom, saying as he went, "No peeking at others from now on."

She let out a soft "OOH!" her gaze fixed on him as he disappeared into the bathroom.

Then she called out, "Can I look openly then?"

There was no response from the bathroom. That counts as tacit approval!

she thought.

The Little Minx WHOOPED!

「」

Early the next morning, Bo Xichen rose at seven, as usual. It was Saturday, so Gu Anxi was sleeping in. He didn’t wake her, having breakfast alone before going to the study to discuss matters with Bo Nianyao.

Bo Nianyao looked at the contract, pleasantly surprised. Normally, such an agreement would take at least a month of negotiation.

And Little Anxi managed to secure it in just two days?

Besides, he’d heard that Dr. Jiang from the Jiang family had also put in a great deal of effort.

Bo Nianyao looked at Bo Xichen. His son shook his head and chuckled. "Father, Anxi is really... I will discipline her properly."

Bo Nianyao paused, then guessed that the contract hadn’t been obtained through entirely upright means. He was usually a prudent man who rarely showed favoritism, but this time he made an exception for Gu Anxi. "That child is indeed clever and resourceful. That female doctor from the Jiang family is no match for her at all."

At this, Bo Xichen recalled Gu Anxi’s nonsensical sweet-talking from the previous night, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Bo Nianyao handed the document back to him. "Alright, you keep this."

Bo Xichen nodded. Bo Nianyao continued, "This is good. It will take Jiang Bin down a peg. Otherwise, he might think he can outdo the Bo Family with just a few tricks."

He spoke with Bo Xichen for a while longer, finally saying, "Alright, alright, go back and spend some time with Little Anxi. You’ve been busy lately and haven’t had much time for her. No matter how capable she is, she’s still a young girl and needs company."

Bo Xichen’s face felt a little warm as he excused himself and left.

When he returned to the Orchid Room, the little piggy was still asleep. He sat on the sofa in the bedroom, reviewing documents while waiting for her to wake up.

At ten o’clock, she still hadn’t woken. Bo Xichen idly scrolled through his phone.

He happened to see a news item: "WK Company of England Reportedly Interested in Collaborating with the Jiang Family."

He stared at it silently for a few seconds, then chuckled.

When Gu Anxi finally woke up, he showed it to her. "Did the Jiang family release this news?"

Gu Anxi, her hair a mess, yawned. Then, gazing at her Young Uncle’s handsome face, she said slowly, "I was the one who released it."

Who asked Jiang Chaoge to dare make a move on my Young Uncle? Of course, I have to crush her, crush her...
