Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The moment Chu An heard Chu Zi’s words, his eyes darkened slightly.

He raised his hand and rubbed his head roughly, causing his already messy hair to become even messier.

“Don’t worry! I know what 1 should do.”

Although he did hope to get close to Gu Xiao and wanted to get even closer to her.

However, the education he had received since he was young was that before marriage, he had to be careful with intimacy. Even though he had come to this era and received different education, the matter of being careful with intimacy was still engraved in his bones.

Moreover, he was always serious and respectful towards Gu Xiao.

Actually, he also knew what Gu Xiao was worried about recently, but… Gu Xiao’s appearance was too cute, so he did not directly point it out.

“That’s good. Let me tell you, Xiaoxiao is a good child. Don’t bully her. Otherwise, not only me, but Mom and Dad will also settle scores with you.”

When Chu An heard Chu Zi’s preaching, he responded impatiently.

“Why did you call me? I still have to go back and sleep with Xiaoxiao!”

“It’s nothing serious. It’s just that Dad and Mom know that you and Xiaoxiao have received the acceptance letter from the university, so they want to have a meal as a family, the real kind of family meal! It’s different from the celebratory feast last time.”

A glint flashed across Chu An’s eyes. He paused for a moment before asking.

“What other motives do you have?”

He was familiar with the Chu Family.

Although they had always valued the results of their children, they would not go through so much trouble because of one thing.

This time, they wanted to use the university acceptance letter as an excuse for a family gathering. No matter how he looked at it, it was a little strange.

Chu Zi didn’t seem to expect Chu An to immediately think of this direction. He coughed lightly and only revealed Mr Chu’s plan under the other party’s urging.

“Hasn’t Dad always wanted to meet Ji Chen? Now that the crisis at Radiant is over and we have this opportunity, Dad said that we should take this opportunity to have the two families officially meet.”

They were very clear about the relationships in Gu Xiao’s family.

Ji Gao, the father, was not worthy of Gu Xiao’s attention, and Jiang He, the mother, did not seem to care either. In the entire Ji family, only Ji Chen could barely be considered Gu Xiao’s family.

The Chu family had already decided on Gu Xiao, so they had to meet her family for official confirmation. Since Ji Gao and Jiang He were unreliable, they could only discuss with Ji Chen.

“Dad and Mom are doing this for you. After going to university, who knows how many people would like a girl like Xiaoxiao? Official confirmation is also to make you feel more at ease.”

Hearing Chu Zi’s words, Chu An’s eyes instantly lit up.

What Chu Zi said made sense! Didn’t he want to go to the same university as Gu Xiao because he wanted to keep guarding her?

If he could confirm their relationship before entering university, wouldn’t he be able to directly introduce Gu Xiao to others as his fiancee and not his girlfriend?

He had been dating Gu Xiao for so long, so their relationship had to change, right? He was already a little tired of their relationship as boyfriend and girlfiend.

“Is that Mom and Dad’s intentions?” Chu An’s voice carried a hint of excitement.

“Of course!” Chu Zi replied without hesitation. “Or do you not want to be with Xiaoxiao…”

“No! 1 want to! When Xiaoxiao wakes up, I’ll discuss this with her!”

After Chu An finished speaking, he hung up the phone excitedly, completely ignoring how Chu Zi would feel on the other end of the phone.

He tiptoed back to his room and found the b.u.mp on the bed, lying down against it.

Because of the news just now, he could not sleep at all.

Chu An lay beside Gu Xiao for a while, but he still supported his cheek with hishand and lay on his side beside the b.u.mp underneath the blankets that was Gu Xiao.

He clearly could not see Gu Xiao’s figure, but the thought of Gu Xiao under the blanket made him feel exceptionally satisfied.

He gently placed his hand on the b.u.mp. After a while, he felt dissatisfied and reached out to pull Gu Xiao into his arms, with blanket and all, before stopping.

Gu Xiao, who was still sleeping soundly, seemed to have sensed something.

She moved under the blanket and popped her head out. She found a comfortable position in Chu An’s arms and continued to sleep peacefully.

It was almost eight o’clock when Gu Xiao woke up from her sleep.

When Gu Xiao was washing up, Chu An leaned against the door and briefly explained the reason why Chu Zi called in the morning..
