Chapter 1375 - 1377
After eating and drinking their fill, Gong Ruini sat at the table sipping her drink.
Watching Gong Ruzhi enjoy his ice cream with great enthusiasm, Gong Ruini couldn’t help but swallow repeatedly.
Even though she hadn’t been to this place before, when ordering, Gong Ruini asked around and learned that the ice cream here was also a specialty.
The server might have been advertising their own food, but Gong Ruini observed that most people who came here to eat would order it.
"It’s delicious, sis, do you want some?" Gong Ruzhi was excitedly digging into the ice cream.
As he looked up, he saw Gong Ruini gazing at him pitifully, no, she was actually staring at the ice cream in his hand.
Gong Ruzhi really couldn’t understand why his brother-in-law Zhao Xuran was so stingy. Even though this ice cream was a bit pricey, after spending so much on the meal, what’s the harm in paying a little more for ice cream?
Gong Ruzhi complained about Zhao Xuran’s stinginess in his heart, but he dared not rebel.
Didn’t he see how much Brother Guangran suffered these days for standing up to him? Everyone knew.
"Sure, sure." Gong Ruini was so touched, it was as if she had been gifted a villa.
At critical moments, you must rely on your own brother. Counting on a man? That’s really not something you can rely on.
"No way." Just as Gong Ruini was about to take the ice cream offered by Gong Ruzhi and have a taste, Zhao Xuran returned from paying the bill, saw this scene, rushed over in two strides, and stopped her from taking it.
Oh no, he’s back. Gong Ruini was dumbfounded. Wasn’t he off to pay the bill? How did he finish so quickly?
Caught in the act by Zhao Xuran like this, Gong Ruini truly regretted it. She regretted that if she’d known she’d get caught, she would’ve acted faster earlier.
That which reaches the mouth is the best, even if Zhao Xuran scolds me afterward, at least I would’ve eaten it. That’s better than not eating it and still getting scolded.
"You." Zhao Xuran looked at Gong Ruini’s face, full of remorse. He wasn’t sure if she was reflecting on herself or regretting not speaking up sooner.
"Aren’t you aware that your period is due in a few days?" Zhao Xuran was truly concerned about his wife’s well-being.
Oh, Gong Ruini had really forgotten about this, but Zhao Xuran mentioned it, and she was subdued.
Seeing his wife slowly shrink back, Zhao Xuran’s previous anger subsided.
"Have you forgotten how painful it was back then?"
Gong Ruini kept shaking her head. How could she forget? But once the pain was over, she didn’t really think about it anymore.
"You." Zhao Xuran thought for a moment, "We’ll come back again. Once you’re feeling better, you can eat within reason."
He was initially going to say, "Eat as much as you want," but he remembered that when his wife found something delicious, she’d eat to her heart’s content. He wouldn’t care if it were anything else.
As long as Ni Zi likes it, it’s fine, just don’t overeat.
But with cold food, Zhao Xuran was always watching Gong Ruini, worried she’d carelessly eat a lot of ice cream.
"Okay, sure." In fact, Gong Ruini just wanted to have a taste; she wouldn’t overindulge in too much ice cream.
Even when she wasn’t feeling well and Zhao Xuran took care of her superbly, it’s her body, and she’ll be the only one to truly feel the discomfort.
"Good girl." His wife’s understanding made Zhao Xuran very happy. See, they say women are fussy, but his wife wasn’t fussy at all.
Good girl? Watching as his brother kept praising Gong Ruini for being so understanding and stroking her hair, Zhao Guangran was truly speechless.
Oh well, that’s just the kind of person his brother is. As long as it relates to Gong Ruini, he’s got no sense.
"Bro, let’s go." It wasn’t too early anymore, and by the time they got back, it would be just right to soak in the bath and then rest.
"We’ll be sailing tomorrow." Zhao Guangran exclaimed smugly.
Huh, no way, going sailing, Gong Ruini was stunned, "Did you manage to rent a boat?"
Gong Ruini really admired Zhao Guangran; he surely had friends everywhere.
Zhao Guangran brimming with pride, "Of course."
"Absolutely." For him, whether or not to go sailing didn’t really matter; he could just stay on the beach and observe the bikini-clad beauties there.
As long as there were beauties to see, Zhao Guangran really wouldn’t care that much, but now with his brother and Ni Zi here, how could he dare do such a thing?
His older brother wasn’t lenient when it came to him, so he had to prepare more activities.
For instance, at first, taking his brother and them around to explore, and once they got familiar with Hawaii, they’d be free to do as they please.
"There won’t be any random women, right?" Zhao Xuran frowned upon hearing about the boat trip.
Zhao Guangran had mentioned before that during such trips, there were plenty of beauties on board, creating quite a commotion.
Zhao Xuran was really worried his brother would pull such a stunt.
See, it’s clear that his conservative older brother would never accept such a thing, thought Zhao Guangran, with a pout, "With you and Ni Zi here, would I dare?"
If it were just him, Zhao Guangran would definitely invite a lot of beauties; that’s what defines a yacht party, right?
Otherwise, just being a few people, especially with only one woman, and a fierce one at that, it sounds boring even just thinking about it.
"Without us, you would dare." Zhao Xuran fumed, "Don’t you know Xiao Zhi’s with us as well?"
As for the Dai Family Brothers, Zhao Xuran didn’t have the energy to care about them; they might have seen far more than him.
But as for Gong Ruzhi, he must not let Zhao Guangran lead him astray.
"So what if it’s Gong Ruzhi, he’s a big kid now, once he enters high school, who knows, he might see more than I ever did."
"Though the high school is full of future elites, they learn a lot, when they go wild, they really go wild."
"By the time they graduate, there’s always a formal party." Though Zhao Guangran never participated, he’d heard about it from friends.
Graduating high school and there’s a formal party? Zhao Xuran was shocked, "Isn’t it illegal to drink if you’re under 20?"
Upon first hearing this rule, Zhao Xuran thought it was great. He knew that back home during festive seasons, some elders liked to coax children into trying a bit of baijiu, and many children are taught early on to build their drinking habits.
Never expected to hear something so surprising from Zhao Guangran, "Aren’t they worried about being exposed?"
"Exposed for what?"
"They’re just kids, and besides, many of those so-called child stars in the entertainment industry drink and do illegal substances at a young age, tracking them holds news value."
"But talking about an average middle-class kid, who’s watching them?"
"Moreover, if it gets reported, what would happen if the parents sued? Ultimately, they’re minors, not public figures; you can’t just report them as you wish."
Reporters know their limits, they know what can and cannot be reported, "Look at some of the wealthy, they won’t touch them because the rich always have a legal team."
With that thought, Zhao Guangran felt very much relieved, "Once Ni Zi graduates, she’ll head our legal team."
The more money you invest in and earn, the more you need a legal team, at least to solve numerous troubles.
