An Empress’s Return to the Present: The Real Young Lady’s Strong Comeback Chapter 291: Acceptance Notice

Chapter 291: Acceptance Notice
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Xiao didn’t say anything, but smiled at Chu An.
“After the school’s acceptance letter is issued, let’s go to the company to take a look.”
Her and Chu An’s college entrance examination results were not bad. With their scores, it was more than enough for them to get into A University. They did not have to worry about not being accepted at all.
Raising this matter now was just an excuse for Chu An to agree to let her go to the company, although as long as it was something she wanted to do, Chu An would agree without condition.
Chu An sat up straight, and his gaze lingered on Gu Xiao for a long time before he asked, “Why did Xiaoxiao think of returning to the company? Didn’t we agree previously that Tian Xian would be in charge of the company?”
Gu Xiao’s eyes flashed. Since she couldn’t say her true thoughts, she could only use a different rationale for Chu An.
“After the admission letter is issued, there’s still a long time before school starts. 1 don’t want to be idle, so I want to go to the company to take a look.”
Although it was true that she was avoiding Chu An, it was also true that she had this idea.
She was already used to busy days. Now that she was free, she was at a loss.
“We can’t make a move on the Ji Group now, so it’s really a little boring,” she continued.
Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, a hint of understanding flashed across Chu An’s eyes.
“If Xiaoxiao really feels bored and wants to go to the company, then go. It’s not a big deal anyway,” Chu An said indifferently.
After all, just as Gu Xiao had said, it was not good to provoke the Ji Group now. If Old Master Ji and Ji Gao fought to the death, even with the Chu Corporation’s protection, their outcome might not be any better than the former.
Even if they were fishing, there were times when you had to let the fish let down their guard, let alone when they were targeting a huge industrial group like this.
“Shall we go to the office together?”
Chu An nodded and said matter-of-factly, “Of course we’ll go together.”
Gu Xiao thought for a second and agreed with Chu An.
When they went to the company, Chu An would always restrain himself a little. She did not ask for much, as long as it wasn’t like at home, Chu An would always want to take her to bed.
Under Gu Xiao’s anticipation, the acceptance letter from A University quickly reached Gu Xiao and Chu An.
When she saw the admission letter that belonged to A University, the pit known as ‘regret’ in Gu Xiao’s heart, which she had kept hidden, was finally filled.
After the Chu Family and Ji Chen found out that the two of them had received the notice, they discussed whether they should gather together for such a happy occasion.
However, what happened at the celebration banquet last time was still vivid in the minds of the Chu family. They were worried that Gu Xiao would be troubled because of this, so no one dared to mention this matter in front of Gu Xiao. They could only arrange for Chu Zi to come to Chu An’s place to see how they felt about it.
Hence, the next morning, when Gu Xiao received the notice, Chu An, who was still lying in bed, received a call from Chu Zi.
Chu An frowned in frustration in his sleep. Gu Xiao, who was in his arms, also seemed to be disturbed by the ringtone. She moved in his arms and snorted impatiently. She directly pulled the blanket over her head, as if this could isolate the noisy sound from her ears.
Sensing Gu Xiao’s impatience, Chu An completely woke up from his sleep.
He took the phone from the head of the bed and hung up the phone. Then, he reached out and patted Gu Xiao’s back comfortingly. After seeing that Gu Xiao had fallen asleep again, he took the phone and walked out of the room quietly.
Chu An reached out and wiped his face roughly. After he woke up a little, he dialed the number again.
However, when facing Chu Zi, Chu An no longer had the patience that he had when he was facing Gu Xiao.
He said impatiently, “Why are you calling so early in the morning? What’s the hurry?”
“Yo, what time is it already? You’re actually still in bed.” Chu Zi’s teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.
Chu An snorted lightly, and his tone rose slightly with a hint of disdain.
“I’m different from you. 1 don’t need to wake up early to go to the office. If 1 have the time, 1 might as well sleep with Xiaoxiao for a while.”
Upon hearing Chu An’s words, Chu Zi immediately straightened up, and his usually indecent tone became serious. “Did you bully Xiaoxiao?©”
He gritted his teeth as he spoke, as if as long as Chu An said “yes”, he would immediately run over and teach Chu An a lesson, even if Chu An was the younger brother he had always doted on.
