Chapter 272: He’s Naughty

Due to waking up too early, everyone lacked an appetite. So, they decided to start the trip, and eat breakfast whenever they felt hungry along the way.
The mountain Gu Junzhu had chosen was the Misty Mountain. It stood at a high altitude and was engulfed in fog all year round, hence its name.
The journey from Beijing to Misty Mountain took about three hours by car.
They set out from the Xie’s villa at five o’clock in the morning, planning to reach the mountain by eight.
To ensure the two little ones could enjoy themselves thoroughly, they brought all kinds of camping gear.
Fishing rods, bows and arrows, barbecue grills, tents, pots and pans, all sorts of vegetables and seasonings; they had everything.
Gu Junzhu, Ye Xingbei, Xie Yunlin, Xie Jinfei, the two little ones—along with a group of bodyguards and drivers totaling over ten people—drove five luxury off-road vehicles. They could bring whatever they wanted without any constraints.
This was the first time Xiao Shumiao had ever gone on an outing with so many people, which included his beloved parents and Brother Xiaoyue.
All the way, he was as excited as if he’d drunk chicken blood. Sometimes, he would laze in Ye Xingbei’s arms, sometimes he would run and act coy in Gu Junzhu’s arms and sometimes, he would chat and chuckle with Lingyue.
A child’s world has its own language and fun.
Lingyue was the most reticent child Ye Xingbei had ever met. Sometimes, he would remain quiet for an entire day.
However, when the two little ones got together, as long as Xiao Shumiao asked him something, Lingyue would respond clearly and concisely.
Xiao Shumiao seemed to enjoy chatting with him, their conversation filled with laughter and joy.
What should have been a dull journey became lively and interesting thanks to Xiao Shumiao. He was a charming and good-looking little treasure who loved to talk and laugh.
After an hour or so, Xiao Shumiao suddenly ran over to Gu Junzhu and patted his little tummy, “Daddy, Xiao Shu’s tummy is growling.”
Gu Junzhu could not help but chuckle, “How did Xiao Shu’s tummy growl?”
The little guy tilted his head to look at him, quite seriously, “My tummy says, ‘I’m so hungry, so hungry, I want to eat meat!'”
Gu Junzhu laughed and ruffled his little head, “So it’s Xiao Shu’s tummy that’s hungry, not Xiao Shu?”
“Yeah, yeah,” confirmed the little one, patting his tummy, “It’s not well- behaved, so greedy, always wants to eat meat!”
Ye Xingbei laughed so hard he had to pull him into his embrace, pinching his little cheek, “Little rascal, who’s the one being greedy?”
Xie Jinfei defended him, “A man should eat a lot of meat! Only then can he have strength and grow taller!”
“Right,” Xie Yunlin echoed, “Xiao Shu is too skinny. He needs to eat more meat to grow stronger.”
The little guy licked his lips and asked Ye Xingbei, “Mommy, Xiao Shu really wants to eat meat. When can we have breakfast?”
Ye Xingbei was nearly doubled over in laughter, squeezing his little chin, “Do you even remember you haven’t had breakfast yet? But how do you know so much?”
The little guy became unhappy, “Mommy, I’m five years old this year. I’m not a one or two-year-old baby anymore. I know everything!”
Everyone in the car burst out laughing.
Feeling shy from being laughed at, the little one twisted his small body and snuggled into Gu Junzhu’s arms, bashfully calling him daddy.
Gu Junzhu patted his little butt and asked Gu Chi who was in the passenger’s seat, “Are there any good hotels nearby?”
Gu Chi checked the navigation and replied, “Young Master, there’s a five-star hotel about two hundred meters ahead. It seems decent.”
Gu Junzhu nodded and instructed, “Drive there.”
“Yes, Young Master!” Gu Chi acknowledged the order.
