Chapter 1378 - 1380
Gong Ruini knew that Zhao Guangran was going to go out to sea on a yacht today. Although she didn’t ask for specific details, it definitely sounded like a great holiday.
"Heading out so early?" Gong Ruini thought that with Zhao Guangran’s holiday routine, he should be sleeping until ten and then lazily getting ready.
By the time the yacht set off, it should be past noon, so how was it that today he’s heading out at eightish?
Something’s up, definitely something’s up, and it’s not a minor issue either.
"Ignore him." Zhao Xuran actually wanted to hold Zhao Guangran back to give him some instructions, but didn’t expect him to leave so early.
This left Zhao Xuran truly helpless, but other than shaking his head, he didn’t know what else to say.
"Let’s finish eating, then head to the beach."
"Oh right, let’s have seafood nearby for lunch." Zhao Xuran had just asked the housekeeper here and found out there’s a reasonably priced restaurant nearby.
Yesterday’s meal, Zhao Xuran admitted, was quite delicious and made him reminisce, but it was just reminiscing.
If they went for another meal, Zhao Xuran really couldn’t bear it. Yesterday’s meal didn’t drain his wallet completely, but it did slim it down quite a bit.
"Sure." Gong Ruini didn’t mind. In such hot weather, her appetite had really decreased.
"We need to find a restaurant with air conditioning." Gong Ruzhi strolled in from the garden outside, sweating all over.
"The sun is vicious, I really don’t get why Brother Guangran wants to go out to sea." Gong Ruzhi truly didn’t understand why Zhao Guangran was still keen on going to the sea.
What’s so great about sitting on the bare deck, with the scorching sun enough to melt someone away?
Why go out to sea? Obviously, it’s to mingle with beautiful women, Gong Ruini complained internally.
"Did you tell Guangran to be careful yesterday?"
Zhao Xuran shrugged, indicating he didn’t get a chance, "There was no opportunity."
"And I doubt he’d hold back even a little."
"Or rather, he might become even more outrageous."
"I just wonder how Dai Limin will react." Zhao Xuran pondered if it was right for Zhao Guangran to act this way.
But one thing was for sure, Zhao Guangran definitely wouldn’t give up this idea because of his advice.
"You know Gong Jiaming still holds some dissatisfaction towards him, and this time he’ll definitely egg on Guangran to make a big deal out of it."
Uh, when it involves Gong Jiaming, Gong Ruini knew it was truly beyond her control, "Forget it, let them to their fortunes."
Even if people say later that Zhao Guangran overdid it, you can bet Gong Jiaming would be the one to shoulder the blame.
And this guy would willingly take the blame without complaint.
Gong Ruini was about to say something more, but Zhao Xuran’s glance signaled her to keep quiet.
"Morning." Dai Liren yawned as he wandered out of his room.
"Morning." Gong Ruini also felt a chill of relief; thankfully, Zhao Xuran noticed early on, otherwise Dai Liren would’ve caught them discussing Dai Limin.
Although there was nothing unspeakable, after all, that was still his younger brother.
"Did Guangran and the others head out?" Not seeing Zhao Guangran or Dai Limin, Dai Liren knew his younger brother had already left.
Dai Liren didn’t know how much of what he said yesterday went through Dai Limin’s head, but as an elder brother, he had said all that needed to be said.
If someone still wanted to court disaster, there was nothing he could do.
"Are we heading to the beach once we finish breakfast?" Dai Liren said as he sat down and took a bite of bread.
"Yes." Gong Ruini downed the milk in her cup and headed straight for the bedroom.
She was keen to take a shower. Originally, she planned to shower and then have breakfast, but her stomach was loudly protesting.
As Gong Ruini passed by the sink, she was shocked by what the mirror reflected.
"Oh no." Gong Ruini couldn’t care less about soaking in the bath to relieve some discomfort; she was about to go crazy.
"How did this happen?" She knew she went a little wild yesterday but didn’t expect it to be like this.
She had hickeys all over her neck, and recalling Dai Liren’s slightly awkward expression when he sat down made sense.
At first, Gong Ruini thought Dai Liren had overheard their discussion, but she hadn’t realized he’d seen this.
"How can I face anyone?" Gong Ruini was utterly distressed.
At this moment, Gong Ruini felt truly fortunate that Zhao Guangran and Dai Limin went out for some fun. Otherwise, if they saw it, would they, like Dai Liren, find it a bit awkward but not ask?
Gong Ruini could already predict Zhao Guangran’s smug face and his arrogant words.
Sigh, not wanting to think of such distant matters, though she could imagine how Zhao Guangran and the others would mock her when they returned in the evening.
But the issue now was whether she should go out today.
If she had a choice, Gong Ruini very much didn’t want to go out. Why go out just to become the center of attention?
Zhao Xuran finished breakfast, returned to his room, and thought of taking a shower, naturally happy if he could bathe with Gong Ruini.
He hadn’t expected Gong Ruini still hadn’t taken a bath or even run the water.
What’s going on? "What’s wrong?" His wife kept staring at the mirror, and Zhao Xuran asked curiously.
Ugh, and he had the nerve to ask what was wrong, Gong Ruini was about to go crazy.
"Look at my neck." Gong Ruini said with a hint of tears.
"Oh." Zhao Xuran looked at the hickeys on Gong Ruini’s neck, feeling slightly embarrassed too.
He actually noticed in the morning, but didn’t know how to bring it up. Judging by his knowledge of Ni Zi, if she noticed, she definitely wouldn’t step out of the room.
Originally, he hoped she wouldn’t notice while washing up, and the matter would pass, but she eventually discovered it.
What to do, wifey was angry now. Zhao Xuran didn’t regret his wild behavior last night; people sometimes need a bit of wildness.
Seeing Zhao Xuran keep staring silently at her neck, only made her angrier.
"Ugh, what should we do?"
"For the next few days, go stay with Zhao Guangran." Isn’t this Zhao Guangran’s fault in the first place? So go find Zhao Guangran; she had to punish Zhao Xuran harshly.
Or else, when he wants to create chaos, he’ll think he can do it whenever he likes.
What? Stay in a room with Zhao Guangran? Zhao Xuran was stunned, "I don’t want to."
Having a soft wife to hold, who would want to hold a rough brother—not that he intended to hold him anyway.
Zhao Xuran wore a look of disdain, "Wife, I know I was wrong."
When the wife says you’re wrong, you’re wrong; he had to earn her forgiveness.
As for arguing, even if he had valid points, it would be useless. Arguing with the wife was simply wrong.
"Wrong? Hmph, I don’t think you really believe you were wrong." Even though he sounded sincere in his apology.
But Gong Ruini didn’t want to listen, "I didn’t notice, but didn’t you notice either?"
Remembering how she sat boldly at the breakfast table, eating, and warmly greeting Dai Liren, made Gong Ruini want to hide away.
"Ugh, I don’t have the face to meet anyone."
"It’s all your fault." Gong Ruini said displeased, her small hands turning into fists, beating against Zhao Xuran’s chest.
"It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault." Zhao Xuran didn’t find Gong Ruini’s punches heavy. To him, they were more like a massage.
But Zhao Xuran was concerned that his thick skin and meat might cause Gong Ruini discomfort.
Gently pulling Gong Ruini’s hand, "Stop hitting."
Hmph, so it hurts now, huh? Gong Ruini wasn’t willing to let him off easily, she wanted him to feel pain, so he wouldn’t make mistakes in the future.
"Your hand will hurt, and I’ll feel heartache." He placed her hand near his mouth and gently kissed it.
My goodness, Gong Ruini was taken aback. Ever since Zhao Guangran came into his life more often, he’s become quite adept at sweet-talking girls.
Just hope he doesn’t use this tactic on others in the future; from now on, Gong Ruini vowed to keep an eye on him.
