“That’s not what I meant.” Rong Yan quickly grabbed him, embarrassedly explaining, “I just feel sorry for Assistant Gu waiting outside by himself. Since we’re going to the amusement park, we might as well invite Assistant Gu to join us.”
“No way!” Simple and straightforward!
Rong Yan was startled for a moment, “Why?”
Li Shengxiao’s deep eyes stared at her, suddenly feeling an impulse to pull her into his embrace!
Damn it, she still asked him why? What other reason could there be besides her?
He hadn’t rearranged his trip to Rui City for the four of them to play in the amusement park!
It was for him and her!
“Why though?” Rong Yan, seeing that he hadn’t answered her question, curiously repeated it.
The handsome man quickly averted his gaze, saying with calm authority, “It’s inconvenient!”
He sounded so calm and composed as if he had no possessiveness at all, which completely bamboozled Rong Yan. Although she was still puzzled, she simply said “Oh” and stopped dwelling on it, “Then tell Assistant Gu to go back first or find somewhere nearby to hang out. Anyway, we haven’t bought the tickets yet, and we probably won’t leave until five or six in the afternoon. I’ll call him in advance before we leave and have Assistant Gu come over to pick us up. There’s no need for him to wait alone at the entrance of the amusement park.”
Since the beginning, Li Shengxiao, witnessing her continuously say ‘Assistant Gu, Assistant Gu’ several times, felt a shadow of brooding emotions clouding his heart, “…Yes, there’s no need.”
Ring Island seemed to be missing one person but Gu Ming seemed alright.
“What’s wrong?” Rong Yan noticed his mood didn’t seem too good. She stopped chattering just as the queue in front of them moved forward. Suddenly, she grabbed the man’s hand beside her, excitedly saying, “They’re moving, they’re moving. Let’s hurry over there to avoid getting cut in line!”
The soft, warm hand of the little woman holding his own felt completely different from the usual contact, like a breeze brushing across his chest, suddenly suppressing the fierce turbulence within.
Rong Yan didn’t realize she was still holding his hand, her focus all on the queuing crowd. It seemed either the efficiency of the ticket sellers had increased or something else had happened, but the line began to move noticeably faster. In less than five minutes, three or four people ahead of them had gone.
“At this rate, it should be our turn soon.” She estimated how much longer it would take for their turn to come up in the queue. Then she passed Little Baby, who was in her hand, to the tall man holding the other hand. Blinking her beautiful eyes, she said, “Would it be alright for you two to queue up here to buy the tickets? I’ll go buy us three cups of juice. It’s too much of a hassle to buy them inside, and there are too many people, I don’t feel like lining up.”
Li Duidui suddenly found himself transferring from the warm palm of his mom to a large hand and was instantly displeased, “I want to go with mom!”
Rong Yan, stroking the top of his head, denied him directly, “No can do. There are too many people! You just stay here and queue up to buy tickets with your dad, I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, she lifted her head, her bright eyes looking up at the man beside her, whispering softly, “Li Shengxiao, I’m entrusting Duidui to you. Keep a close eye on him, don’t let him wander off, I’ll be back with some juice in no time.”
Her constant use of ‘dad’ and ‘mom’ had completely neutralized the displeasure he had felt from her previous references to ‘Assistant Gu.’ He took the little boy’s hand that was struggling to break free, looked deeply at her and said, “I’ll wait for you!”
