Chapter 416: Chapter 30 Travel_2
Shen Mincheng, who was sowhat vain, thoroughly enjoyed when Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yu referred to him as “old master.” He didn’t show it outwardly, but it was clear he relished it.
Lin Xiaoguai felt relieved upon hearing this.
When Shen Chi ca back that evening, Lin Xiaoguai had already changed into her ho clothes and co downstairs. He was montarily taken aback, “Is everything alright?” He was actually worried she might be bored lying in bed, so he ca ho early to keep her company.
“It’s all good, it was just a minor illness,” Lin Xiaoguai said with a faint smile.
Shen Chi, still sowhat concerned, touched her forehead. Finding that it indeed wasn’t hot, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Where are the quadruplets?” His gaze circled the room without seeing Sisi and the others, and he couldn’t help but ask.
“They’re at Zhi Xin Garden, grandma said she’d keep them over for the night.” Lin Xiaoguai knew that grandma was being considerate, worrying that she would have to take care of the children while being sick, so she simply left the children there to let her recuperate.
Shen Chi nodded and sat down on the sofa, pulling her into his arms.
Seeing this, and knowing the young couple had private matters to discuss, Mrs. Zhang went off to the kitchen to make dinner.
“I just finished so work and I can have over ten days of holiday, let’s go out and have so fun,” Shen Chi said as he poured her a cup of warm water and handed it to her.
Lin Xiaoguai’s eyes lit up when she heard this. In her previous life, she spent at least three months a year traveling. In contrast, in this life, due to having more commitnts, she rarely had ti to travel except to places nearby.
“Where shall we go?”
“Let’s go to Gulangyu in Xia n. A comrade-in-arms of mine has an empty house there; we can stay at his place,” said Shen Chi as he stroked her long hair.
Lin Xiaoguai was delighted to hear this. She had visited Xia n in her previous life but never Gulangyu. Instead, she had been to Zengcuo’an and Wild Valley.
She squinted her eyes and smiled, “If we’re going on a trip, there are quite a few preparations to make, especially for the quadruplets. They have many and cumberso things.”
“They’re not going.” Seeing Lin Xiaoguai stunned, Shen Chi kissed her and said, “Just the two of us.”
“What?” Lin Xiaoguai was shocked.
Shen Chi hugged her onto his lap and said tenderly, “We’ve been married for so long, and every ti we go out, it’s with a whole group of people. How about just the two of us go to Xia n this ti?”
Lin Xiaoguai was very tempted, but she hesitated, “But Sisi and the others…”
“It’s okay, grandpa and grandma will take good care of them,” Shen Chi said lightly.
In the past two years, he increasingly realized that having many kids wasn’t always a good thing, and it beca ever harder to have ti alone with Wanwan.
“But I will miss them and Little Niangao too.”
“We’re just going for over ten days; we’ll be back soon,” Shen Chi reassured her warmly.
In the end, Lin Xiaoguai was persuaded by him. While anticipating the trip to Xia n, she couldn’t help but feel guilty towards the children.
“Can’t we really take Sisi and the others with us?” she asked a few days before departure, still reluctant.
“What do you think?” Shen Chi leaned in and kissed her pouted lips.
He found that Wanwan was becoming more childish, becoming more casual around him. In the past, she never acted like a little girl who would be spoiled in front of him.
He was pleased and was even more eager to use the trip to deepen their affection as a couple.
This was Lin Xiaoguai’s first ti on a plane in this life; she thought she should be calm, but she couldn’t help getting excited.
In her previous life, her first flight was after the year 2000, but in this life, it was ten years earlier.
“Do you want to sleep for a while?” Considering Lin Xiaoguai hardly slept the night before because she couldn’t bear to leave the children, Shen Chi asked.
“Yes, I’ll sleep.” Lin Xiaoguai truly felt tired and leaned on his shoulder, closing her eyes.
“Do you think Little Sun and the others will recognize us when we get back?” she asked a few seconds after closing her eyes.
“You’re overthinking,” Shen Chi said with a hint of helplessness, realizing that Wanwan cared about the children far more than he had imagined. As her husband, he had to step back, affirming that his decision this ti was correct.
For the rest of the journey, Lin Xiaoguai slept, while Shen Chi, on the other hand, read a newspaper throughout.
When Lin Xiaoguai was woken up, she mumbled unconsciously, “We’ve arrived.”
“Yep.” Shen Chi smoothed her ssily slept hair.
Upon regaining her consciousness, Lin Xiaoguai raised her hand to massage his shoulder and asked, “Does that feel better?”
“Press harder.” Shen Chi was indeed uncomfortable, as anyone’s shoulders would get numb after being leaned on for a few hours.
Lin Xiaoguai was experienced with this; she never liked leaning on soone’s shoulder, but Shen Chi enjoyed her leaning on him. Initially, when she didn’t lean on him, he would even draw her head down to his shoulder. Gradually, she got used to it. Every ti after she leaned on him, his shoulder would be sore and numb. Seeing him in discomfort, Lin Xiaoguai would massage him, gaining so expertise in the process.
Though every ti it was a bit uncomfortable, Shen Chi never minded and considered it as a little fun between them as husband and wife.
Coming down from the plane, Shen Chi confidently took Lin Xiaoguai’s hand and led her out of the airport, then hailed a taxi and gave the driver an address.
“You seem very familiar with Xia n?” Lin Xiaoguai expressed her surprise.
“Of course.” Shen Chi opened a bag of biscuits and passed it to her, “I’ve been here more than just once.”
Lin Xiaoguai was indeed a bit hungry. She fed Shen Chi a piece of biscuit and took one for herself too. As he glossed over her question, she guessed he must have been on missions in Xia n and thus did not press further.
After about twenty minutes, the taxi stopped in front of a seaside villa.
Lin Xiaoguai was sowhat astonished; Shen Chi had ntioned his comrade had a house in Xia n, but she had expected a regular one, not a luxurious seaside villa!
Shen Chi paid the taxi fare, retrieved their luggage from the trunk, fetched the key to unlock the iron gate, and took Lin Xiaoguai’s hand as they walked in.(. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
