The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times
Chapter 839: Opening a Gift
Mother An rudely glanced at him and saw the humiliation. His blood pressure immediately soared. “What's going on?”
“I heard that your daughter has good friends in the entertainment industry. He defended her.” The colleague saw that Mother An's expression was incorrect and added fuel to the fire. “Aiyo, you don't know how many people An Rao scolded. They are all famous painters in the country and the newspapers you read every day. He scolded them very hard.”
“I don't know, Master Li. Why doesn't your daughter like you at all?” Other teachers surrounded him.
An's father was a small official with real power locally, and An Lin had worked hard to get into Beijing's second largest university. The sense of superiority that Mother An usually brings out has made everyone very unbalanced. Now that they had the chance, everyone gathered and discussed noisily.
In Mother An's eyes, An Rao's actions were equivalent to humiliation. Thinking of how angry Father An would be if he found out about this, Mother An felt depressed. She was furious and wished she had never given birth to this shameful An Rao.
The surrounding comrades were still discussing, but Mother An could not bear it anymore. He left the office with a straight face and called An Rao. “You damned girl, did we provide you to go to school so you can argue and scold others?! Did all your books end up in a dog's stomach?!”
“Auntie, even if you gave birth to An Rao, you don't have to scold her like this, right?” Unexpectedly, it was Bo Xiao's voice on the other end of the phone.
“Give the phone to An Rao.” Worried about Bo Xiao's identity, Mother An held back her anger.
“Why should I give it to him? Why should I let you scold her?” It was a rare weekend and An Rao was still sleeping. Bo Xiao did not plan to wake her. “If you don't feel sorry for your daughter, I will feel sorry for my wife.”
Madam An was stunned by Bo Xiao's words. “I know you have a high position, but let me tell you. An Rao is the daughter of my An family. If her father and I don't agree, your marriage won't work. I won't let my An family's daughter become someone else's toy.”
Bo Xiao had many scandals. If An Rao marries her, my peers at school will laugh at me to death.
“Oh,” replied Bo Xiao. “You really think too highly of yourself. I can't say that you treated An Rao as your daughter. I can't be bothered to agree with you.”
“You!” Mother An usually faced the students, and they would not talk to her disobediently. He's very angry. Then, there was a beep on the phone, as Bo Xiao hung up.
Mother An's blood pressure soared. I would never let An Rao be with such a man!! He's already broken the law. If she married a reckless man, how would others look at my An family?
......................
He has grown up on his own since he was young. He thought that others would be happy if they had both parents. Now, it seems that having an obscure pair of parents is not as good as raising yourself. He wondered how An Rao did not grow crooked in such a disabled family.
Bo Xiao walked into the bedroom and saw An Rao sleeping soundly with a blanket on his arm.
Seeing his bold sleeping posture, Bo Xiao narrowed his fox-like eyes. He took off his shoes and crawled into a warm blanket. Sensing the source of warmth approaching, An Rao consciously bowed and*rang. “I'm very hungry.”
“I call for breakfast. It will be here any minute.” Bo Xiao inserted An Rao's open arm.
“What will you do later?” An Rao was dazed and had yet to wake up from his sleep.
“Open the gift.”
“Hah? What gift?” Having known An Rao for so long, Bo Xiao had never given him a gift. When she heard there was a gift, An Rao woke up.
“Wake up and eat. Don't you know after eating?” Bo Xiao held onto An Rao's hair and twisted it.
“You are very mysterious.” With anticipation for the reward, An Rao immediately got out of bed.
After breakfast, Bo Xiao locked An Rao in the room.
“... Even if you don't prepare a gift for me, you shouldn't treat me like this, right?” An Rao slammed the door and shouted furiously.
“Stay inside. There are snacks, books, and movie sources in the closet. I'll call you to come out later.” Bo Xiao closed the door and blocked An Rao's view.
“Hmph, you are very mysterious.” An Rao did not investigate any further and lay on the bed to sleep.
