Chapter 1379 - 1381
Gong Ruzhi looked at Gong Ruini who actually came out wearing a long-sleeved shirt and was dumbfounded. What is going on?
Looking at the weather outside, "Sis, you..."
Does my sister think it’s not hot outside? "It’s really hot outside, hot enough to drive you crazy."
Isn’t that obvious? Of course, Gong Ruini knows it’s hot outside, but there’s no way around it.
She absolutely doesn’t have the courage to just walk out like that. Even though there’s nothing to be embarrassed about, she feels all kinds of awkward.
"I’m worried about getting a tan."
"You know, after tanning, it doesn’t look good."
Gong Ruini quickly found an excuse and said it with conviction.
Worried about getting a tan, Gong Ruzhi kept quiet because he recalled that whenever summer came back home, his sister would prepare before going out.
But this is a bit exaggerated, right? Gong Ruzhi looked at Gong Ruini’s long sleeves in confusion.
Dai Liren glanced over several times and then looked at Zhao Xuran.
Seizing the moment when Gong Ruini wasn’t paying attention, he gave Zhao Xuran a thumbs-up, indicating he was quite impressive.
Zhao Xuran accepted Dai Liren’s compliment calmly.
It’s not that Zhao Xuran doesn’t feel awkward, but if he’s awkward now, how would Ni Zi feel?
They are currently boyfriend and girlfriend, but they’ll be husband and wife in the future, so why hide?
Seeing Gong Ruzhi’s worried expression, Dai Liren was secretly amused.
Never expected the self-proclaimed smart Gong Ruzhi didn’t notice, "Alright, let’s head out."
"Girls are really particular about their skin tone." Dai Liren quickly pulled on Gong Ruzhi, who was about to persuade Gong Ruini again.
This silly kid, didn’t he notice Gong Ruini’s expression was a bit off?
"Yeah, it’s fine." As Gong Ruzhi kept trying to convince her not to wear the shirt outside, Gong Ruini really wanted to say she was also unbearably hot.
As soon as she stepped outside, she was almost scared back by the heatwave.
Gong Ruini wanted to cry and shout about not going out, but she didn’t dare, or else how would she explain she didn’t want to go out?
She glared fiercely at Zhao Xuran. If it weren’t for his lack of attention, letting things get out of control, would she be like this?
Overall, it was all his fault. This can’t continue; she must give him the cold shoulder, or else this guy will definitely repeat his mistake.
Zhao Xuran pinched his nose. He didn’t feel it indoors, but as soon as he came out, he started sweating immediately, and he was just wearing a short T-shirt.
He dared not imagine how hot Gong Ruini must be at the moment.
"How about we find a place to have a drink later?" Zhao Xuran hesitated a bit, thinking it might make his wife feel a little better.
Find a place to drink something cold? "Can’t we drink at home?" No expenses, plus the villa’s environment is quite nice.
"Yesterday’s pool was a waste." Gong Ruini remembered yesterday’s pool covered with flower petals, which she didn’t get to enjoy properly. Such a pity.
"No worries, we can buy more flowers." Fresh flowers aren’t expensive, as long as the wife likes it, it’s fine.
Zhao Xuran worried about what to do if his wife ignored him.
Buy more flowers to make another petal pool? "Don’t like it."
Yesterday already tired her out. If they continued today, Gong Ruini honestly feared she might drown in the pool.
Not like it? Although Dai Liren was walking ahead with Gong Ruzhi, he wouldn’t miss the conversation from behind.
Indeed, just paying a bit of attention, and he could hear what he wanted to know.
Yesterday there was all kinds of joy over the flower petal pool, or else Zhao Xuran wouldn’t have gone through such trouble to arrange it. How could there be a sudden dislike after just one night? If there wasn’t something going on, he wouldn’t believe it.
With Zhao Guangran’s previously smug expression in mind, Dai Liren understood; it seemed something unspeakable happened in that pool yesterday.
"Alright, let’s talk about it back home." Gong Ruini glanced at the slowing-down Dai Liren ahead, giving Zhao Xuran a side-eye.
Even if Dai Liren might know a thing or two, Gong Ruini didn’t want to make a fuss with Zhao Xuran outside over this.
"Later, I’m going to find a place to lie in the sand." More than the marks on her body, Gong Ruini wanted to ease the fatigue she felt.
"Ah, can your body take it?" Although Gong Ruini restrained herself, growing up with her, Zhao Xuran noticed something was off.
Hmph, asking if she can take it now is too late, "I told you to stop yesterday, and you didn’t listen."
Although she had no memory of the later moments, she knew this guy in front of her truly didn’t let her go.
How could he stop with such a good scene?
"We hadn’t been together for so long and in such a great environment, I really couldn’t resist." Zhao Xuran felt wronged too.
Speechless, it hadn’t been that long since they’d been together, did it? Gong Ruini didn’t want to discuss it with him, knowing their frequency was a bit high.
Forget it, why bother discussing with him? Gong Ruini turned and stepped next to Gong Ruzhi, hooking his arm, "Today for lunch let’s eat something good, no saving for Brother Xu Ran."
"Ah." Didn’t they spend a lot yesterday? Even though he knew brother-in-law wasn’t strapped for cash, they still couldn’t indulge without restraint, right?
"You’re not willing?" Gong Ruini grabbed Gong Ruzhi’s arm, surely he’s not thinking about saving money for Zhao Xuran?
Not willing? Of course not! Someone treats for delicious food, he definitely wouldn’t miss that, "Sure."
"Then I’ll really be unrestrained." Gong Ruzhi cautiously asked again, worried his sister was merely asking.
Was she not serious about her words? Gong Ruini truly didn’t understand, "Brother Xu Ran has money."
Gong Ruini turned to look at Zhao Xuran walking behind with a pitiful expression, "Are you treating for lunch?"
"Of course, I’ll treat." The wife was talking to him; even though it was about who pays for lunch, it wasn’t a problem.
Dai Liren got anxious, "We agreed I’d treat."
"You’re not worried I don’t have money, are you?" Dai Liren noticed that ever since he started a company and needed to attract investments, Zhao Guangran and the others became particularly attentive.
Even with all the fuss about treating meals, they would never actually let him pay.
Once or twice, Dai Liren could ignore it, but over time, it made him uncomfortable.
"I really have money. I just thought attracting more investment would be nice too."
"The more I invest, the others would feel uneasy." Dai Liren was cautious about that too.
Even if they won’t say it upfront, over time, gaps will form.
Ah, they feel uneasy just because of that? Gong Ruini was dumbfounded, "They can invest more too, if they have money."
Gong Ruini remembered Gong Ruzhi mentioning that the people starting the company with Dai Liren weren’t from poor backgrounds either.
Since they’re also not strapped for cash, why not think about asking their family for investment?
Could it be they’re worried it’s a new industry with uncertain prospects, and they don’t want to invest?
