Jiu Li urged, "Hurry up, your son and daughter want to take you somewhere. It’s just a trip out for fun. Why so cautious? Look, I didn’t even bring roses today, I’m just here to play with the kids."
"Vice President Jiu, I really can’t trouble you," Lu Wanwan persisted inexplicably.
Jiu Li found her stubbornness difficult to manage and after a long pause said, "Look, I haven’t even said that you can’t board my yacht wearing such an ugly hat..."
"I think, with such an ugly hat, I’d better not board your yacht," Lu Wanwan folded her hands together, "Vice President Jiu, I really don’t want to trouble you. When I asked President Ji for leave at noon, he asked me to tell you, if you haven’t gone back yet, that you have to return to Manchester before dark today. You see, if you head to the airport now, you might just make it in time."
"My brother is probably worried that..." Jiu Li didn’t finish his sentence, taking another deep look at her, "No way, so I’m too late again?"
Lu Wanwan looked blank, "Too late for what?"
Jiu Li rolled his eyes and tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Why do we always meet at the wrong time?"
"It’s nothing." Jiu Li clutched his heart, looking hurt, a sad expression on his handsome, young face, "This is the second time I’ve been hurt, it’s really becoming a habit. But going out to sea for a bit of fun is no big deal, right? He probably doesn’t know yet?"
"Thanks for not blabbing," Lu Wanwan said with a smile, patting him on the shoulder.
Jiu Li, though usually just all talk, she knew he wasn’t serious.
Despite his bad reputation and numerous love scandals, he never intentionally made things difficult for others.
Once things were clear, he would gracefully move on to the .
"Little Momo, hurry and bring your sister down," she shouted to the children on the yacht.
"I thought we might have a beautiful accident," Jiu Li regretted, "But I wish you luck. If he’s not good to you, there’s still me!"
"Hehehe, Vice President Jiu, why don’t you hurry while the film festival isn’t over yet, go look around?"
Jiu Li shrugged, "No need, I don’t heal from heartbreak that way anymore."
Little Youyou jumped down, pouting her cherry lips, "Mommy, why didn’t you come see the castle I made."
"We can make it again!"
Jiu Li blew a kiss to Little Youyou and crouched down, "Good girl, Uncle will take you fishing next time."
"Will there be a next time?"
"Who knows, if I can’t be your mommy’s boyfriend, there’s still a chance I could become your mommy’s relative," Jiu Li mused in his heart.
"Uncle Jiu, pinky promise!"
Jiu Li made a pinky promise with her, "Or maybe Uncle Jiu should wait until you grow up?"
He smiled as if he believed he was radiating charm.
Lu Wanwan: "Jiu Li, you’re courting death!"
Little Youyou comforted him by patting his shoulder, "Uncle Jiu, you’re a good person, but..."
"Alright, goodbye!" Receiving two "good guy" cards in a row made Jiu Li want to explode.
After Jiu Li left, Lu Wanwan didn’t go far either, playing by the beach with the two kids for a while.
Along the way, a tourist came up to chat, and Little Momo blurted out, "My mommy is in a relationship, you don’t stand a chance."
"Little Momo, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Little Momo helplessly pointed at Lu Wanwan’s hat, "Mommy, otherwise, why would you still wear such an ugly hat if not because you like it?"
Seeing mommy left speechless.
Little Momo sighed, "Accidentally told the truth. Mommy, remember to run it past me and my sister next time."
