Chu He said to Gu Jinglian, “Why don’t we go back early too? Let’s not stay out too late. We ought to be up by the time the kids are awake, so that we don’t appear lackl.u.s.ter if they want to play.”
Gu Jinglian did not agree, and instead said, “Linxi is old enough to take Baby Chu out to play. We may not enjoy the games that the kids enjoy. We might as well let them play among themselves and we focus on our honeymoon.”
Chu He was at a lost for words. So they were really here to make up for their honeymoon?
She muttered, “Does this mean… you never really had the intention of bringing them along?”
“Hmph.” The mention of this displeased Gu Jinglian. He had never mentioned this trip to Gu Linxi and Baby Chu at all! Chu He was the one who had told Linxi about it. Linxi then a.s.sumed that Gu Jinglian wanted them to go on a holiday together, so he had enthusiastically pa.s.sed the word on to Baby Chu.
!!
Eventually, by chance, Gu Jinglian discovered that the two of them were already getting into full swing packing for the trip!
What else could he say? He could only swallow his anger and take them along.
However, Linxi was astute. On the plane, he took the initiative to take care of Baby Chu, attending to all matters great and small. That alone rather pleased Gu Jinglian.
By the time they returned to the hotel, Linxi was already asleep, and so was Baby Chu. Gu Jinglian and Chu He were intimate for a while, but finally gave in to their exhaustion and fell asleep.
Upon waking up the next day, Gu Jinglian and Chu He went to the other bedroom and saw that Linxi and Baby Chu were no longer there.
It was only when he asked the cleaners at the Room Cleaning department that he found out, the kids had run off to the beach to play as soon as they had woken up. However, the janitor mentioned, four kids from another row of villas were there too.
The group had split themselves into two teams and were playing beach volleyball. Gu Jinglian found that rather amusing.
It had to be said that these two kids really knew how to keep themselves entertained. Seeing that his parents were still asleep, Linxi had taken Baby Chu out to play.
After Gu Jinglian and Chu He had eaten something to fill their stomachs, they headed to the beach. There, they were surprised to see Gu Linxi and Baby Chu standing on an empty beach. Opposite them were Youyou and Lisa.
The four of them glared at each other fiercely. Linxi was holding the ball, but Gu Jinglian’s eyes were sharp enough to tell that his hand was trembling slightly.
Chu He noticed it, too, and approached with some concern.
“Linxi!”
When Linxi heard her calling out, he turned and looked slightly surprised to see them.
“Dad, Mom…”
As soon as Baby Chu turned around and saw Chu He, he immediately threw himself into her arms.
“Mom! Sob, sob, sob…” The little guy cried pretentiously, they weren’t real tears. Although he felt wronged, he was not so fragile that he would shed tears for real. “They bullied me! Sob, sob, sob…”
Bullied him? That was rather hard to believe.
Chu He knew Mu Yazhe and Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. They had met a few times before. She could tell that the couple was extremely well-mannered. Naturally, they would have brought their children up to be well-mannered too. How could they be bullying other kids?
“Don’t listen to his nonsense.” Linxi sighed and lowered his voice. “They didn’t bully us… It was simply… we couldn’t beat them at the game…”
“What’s this?” Chu He finally caught on. “Lost a game of volleyball?”
“Er… if it had been purely a defeat, that would’ve been fine.”
