Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 725 - 726: I’m Pregnant! You Figure it Out!

Chapter 725: Chapter 726: I’m Pregnant! You Figure it Out!

Chu Changhe watched his younger daughter silently for a long time before uttering, "If you have time, come home and visit."

He hesitated for a moment. "Your mother always misses you."

Chu Yan didn’t quite believe him.

At this point, how could she miss me? It would be good enough if she didn’t hate me.

She lowered her gaze, smiled faintly, and resumed her work.

Seeing that she still hadn’t eaten, Chu Changhe said softly, "I’ll leave then. Make sure you eat; don’t go hungry."

Chu Yan’s gaze remained on the screen; she merely nodded.

When Chu Changhe left, he felt a sense of melancholy. An especially unpleasant feeling settled in his heart, yet he was powerless to change anything. He could only walk out slowly.

After stepping out, he heaved a long sigh. Looking at the sliver of dawn in the sky, memories of the past resurfaced, leaving him with an unbearable bitterness.

Meanwhile, Chu Yan hadn’t eaten and continued to work. It was just that her eyes were veiled by a layer of mist...

「The following morning」

Gu Anxi opened her eyes to a familiar yet unfamiliar scene. It was the room she had occupied during her six months in the Dark. Outside the window, a grove of green bamboo swayed.

She slowly sat up. She felt a bit weak—most likely Bo Qing’s handiwork, she thought.

Bo Qing was seated at an exquisite table, clad in a black robe that accentuated his tall, distinguished, and handsome figure. He was sipping tea. When he saw she had awakened, he glanced over indifferently.

Gu Anxi didn’t rush to get down. Leaning against the headboard, she asked, "Should I say, ’Long time no see’?"

Bo Qing remained silent, continuing to drink his tea quietly. After a long while, he spoke, his voice raspy, "Still so mischievous. You know how to infuriate me, but you should also know this brings you no good."

A faint smile touched Gu Anxi’s lips. She hopped off the bed, sat down beside him, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it with the air of a hostess. As she did all this, Bo Qing watched her quietly.

Gu Anxi glanced sideways at him and smiled faintly. "What’s the matter?"

Bo Qing smiled faintly. "Why aren’t you afraid?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Afraid of what?" Gu Anxi chuckled. "At worst, I’ll just become your concubine, Master! Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I’m pregnant. If you make me fight those tigers or whatever again, your ready-made son might just disappear."

Bo Qing’s eyes narrowed.

After a moment, he asked coldly, "You’re pregnant?"

As he spoke, he grabbed her wrist.

Gu Anxi didn’t struggle, remaining calm and quiet.

A moment later, Bo Qing’s face turned ashen.

Her pulse confirmed it: she was pregnant.

And the child was very strong!

A child... An image formed in Bo Qing’s mind... an image he was unwilling to acknowledge, even though he had long known she and Xichen were husband and wife, that they lived together.

Bo Qing slowly rose and walked to the window. He stood with his back to her, his silhouette exuding a hint of bleakness.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, his voice raspy, "Have the child."

Gu Anxi, lightly sipping her tea with one hand supporting her chin, said, "I’m hungry."

Bo Qing suddenly turned around and stared at her. "Aren’t you worried about Xichen? Aren’t you worried about Beicheng?"

Gu Anxi smiled and retorted, "Is worrying useful?"

Then, she added, "I’m hungry."

Bo Qing raised his hand slightly. The black-clad guards stationed outside the door retreated soundlessly, returning a moment later with a food tray, which they placed down gently.

Once the guards had withdrawn, Gu Anxi began to eat, seemingly unconcerned. "The food here isn’t as good as it used to be."

Bo Qing said, his expression impassive, "The previous chef was killed by a stray bullet."

Gu Anxi shrugged, showing no particular remorse. But Bo Qing suddenly grabbed her hand. "The same will happen to Beicheng."

Gu Anxi looked at him, smiling. "Let me finish eating first. A pregnant woman can’t go hungry."

Bo Qing was infuriated!

Her appetite was excellent, just like a pregnant woman’s. After finishing her meal, she patted her small belly contentedly. "Master, the chef here is truly subpar. I remember your cooking skills are quite excellent."

Bo Qing’s voice was ice-cold. "Don’t even think about it."

She shrugged regretfully. "That’s truly a shame. I guess I’ll just have to make do then."

Bo Qing couldn’t help but say, "You’re not here to enjoy yourself."

Gu Anxi widened her eyes. "I thought a concubine would receive some preferential treatment, be somewhat favored."

Her words truly unsettled Bo Qing... Although he had feelings for her, her saying such things so brazenly made him uncomfortable. He liked the composed, aloof Anxi, the one who could connect with him on a spiritual level. But now, she constantly brought up being his ’concubine’... It was truly...

Bo Qing took a long breath. "You are not my concubine."

"Oh, that’s a relief then," Gu Anxi said, infuriating him to no end.

Suddenly, Bo Qing stared at her intently. "You... aren’t you afraid?"

Saying this, he walked back to the window, turning his back to her again, as if only then could he bring himself to utter such cruel words.

"In three days, the eastern suburbs of Beicheng will be razed to the ground. Xichen... will likely stay behind to defend Beicheng." His voice was very soft. "Knowing this, are you still sure you want to be with him? I remember you once said you would give up the entire world for the Bo Family."

The air was silent for a long moment.

After a long while, he turned to look at her. "You are not the most important person to him."

Gu Anxi raised an eyebrow. "Then can you let me go back so I can divorce him?"

Bo Qing was infuriated.

He stared at her intently for a long moment, then abruptly stormed out.

Once he had left, Gu Anxi heaved a long sigh of relief. He’s finally gone.

She looked down at her clothes; they were still the same ones she had been wearing. She stretched languidly and went out for a stroll, only to encounter Song Jia.

The moment Song Jia saw Gu Anxi, she looked as if she’d seen a thorn in her side, her gaze fixed intently on Gu Anxi’s belly.

Gu Anxi leaned against a tree trunk. "I’m not fighting with you."

Song Jia sneered, "Do you think I’ll believe you’re pregnant just because you faked it?"

She lunged forward, about to strike, but was stopped by a clear, cold voice, "Beauty."

Song Jia paused, then turned her head.

It was Bo Qing.

She was indignant. "Senior Brother, it’s impossible for her to be pregnant. How could it be so coincidental?"

Gu Anxi still wore a smile, retorting shamelessly, "Just because my Master won’t let *you* get pregnant, doesn’t mean my Youngest Uncle won’t let *me* get pregnant."

She then looked at Bo Qing. "Oh, by the way, Master, should I call her Martial Aunt or Shiniang? You should at least give her a proper title."

Bo Qing’s expression was cold. "She is merely a member of Dark."

Gu Anxi tutted a few times. "See? See? That’s men for you. When they’re sweet-talking you, you’re their ’little treasure.’ The moment they turn their back, you’re ’just a member.’ Are you sure you still want to lay down your life for him?"

Song Jia’s face paled. "None of your business."

She lunged forward again, ready to strike. Bo Qing was too far away to intervene in time. Gu Anxi sighed softly. Sorry, Beauty.

With a swift extension of her ’claws,’ she ripped the clothing from Song Jia’s shoulder.

This caused quite a commotion, as there were many... men around!

Everyone saw the high-status Hong Fu in this risqué situation!

Even the little seductress was dumbfounded.

Her beauty was one thing, but what made Gu Anxi stare was an ugly scar on Song Jia’s shoulder, like a mark seared by a branding iron.

In my memory, there was such a scar.

She remembered when her father found Zhou Yunchen, there had been a little girl nearby. Zhou Yunchen was suffering from a high fever at the time, so her father had immediately rushed him to the hospital. When he went back to look for the little girl, she was already gone.

That little girl, who had been slightly older than Gu Anxi, was wearing tattered clothes and had such a mark on her shoulder.

She recalled that the little girl had very dark, bright eyes, bearing a strong resemblance to Brother Yunchen. She was very thin, as if she had been malnourished for a long time.

She remembered, that was Zhou Yunchen’s sister, his only relative.

Zhou Yunhua.

Later, when Zhou Yunchen woke up, he searched for her desperately but never found her again.

Gu Yuntian had always felt guilty about this incident. He had searched for her many times, turning Qingcheng upside down.

Afterward, Zhou Yunchen continued to search but never mentioned her again...
