A grown man, with children of their own, wanting to carry her out in public?
Has he lost his mind!
Jiang Nanfang felt embarrassed and struggled, thrashing her limbs, wanting to be put down.
“Who said I wanted you to carry me? I don’t want to go, Zhan Beijue, put me down.”
Zhan Beijue ignored her, using his superior strength to carry her out.
The two children, seeing their parents’ affection, skipped along behind them with smiles.
Other guests passing by cast strange glances. Jiang Nanfang, unable to resist him, finally gave in.
“Fine, fine, I’ll go. Put me down, can’t I walk myself?”
Zhan Beijue, satisfied, put her down. The family of four left the hotel amicably.
The beauty of the island’s scenery goes without saying.
Walking along the streets, feeling the gentle evening breeze and watching the setting sun, the four of them, all possessing striking good looks, were a most pleasing sight.
Soon, a pharmacy appeared by the roadside. Zhan Beijue wanted to go in and buy medicine for Jiang Nanfang.
Jiang Nanfang didn’t want to spend his money.
“No need, I can do it myself. You can just wait at the entrance.”
Behind the counter stood a tall, slender, very young man with a fashionable hairstyle.
Seeing a beautiful woman enter, his previously listless eyes, engrossed in his phone, suddenly lit up.
He greeted Jiang Nanfang in the local dialect, “May I help you?”
Jiang Nanfang didn’t understand and asked him in English, “Do you speak English?”
The young man switched to English. Jiang Nanfang described her symptoms, and he recommended cold and anti-inflammatory medicine.
He handed it to her personally. Jiang Nanfang thanked him gratefully, “How much is it?”
The young man suddenly seemed a bit shy, scratching his head and changing the subject, “Let me give you a bottle of water. You can take the medicine now, I’ll tell you how to take it.”
As he spoke, he poured a cup of hot water for Jiang Nanfang from behind the counter.
Jiang Nanfang thanked him again, asking the price. The young man smiled and waved his hand.
“No need to pay, consider it my treat.”
How could that be? They were strangers, and she should pay the proper amount; she couldn’t take advantage of his kindness.
Jiang Nanfang insisted on paying.
But she was taken away by Deputy General Manager Gao as soon as she landed. She hadn’t exchanged Korean Won at the airport, so she could only take out two RMB notes.
“Can I pay you in RMB?”
“Really, there’s no need.” The boy waved his hand and finally blurted out, “Um, may I ask if you have a boyfriend?”
Oh, so he liked her and wanted to pursue her.
Noticing the boy’s young age, Jiang Nanfang smiled and said.
“Although I don’t have a boyfriend, I’m quite a bit older. We’re not a suitable match.”
“How can that be? You look about the same age as me.”
Jiang Nanfang asked him, “How old are you?”
The boy replied, “19.”
“I’m almost ten years older than you, we’re really not suitable. Please don’t refuse anymore, just take the money.”
She handed the money over again.
One offered, the other pushed back. Rui Rui, the clever one, saw the scene clearly and quickly reminded Zhan Beijue.
“Daddy, look, that cashier boy is so handsome.”
“He seems unwilling to take Mommy’s money. Is it because Mommy is too beautiful and he wants to pursue her?”
Zhan Beijue, who had been squatting down to wipe Ge’er’s hands, quickly stood up upon hearing this.
He peered inside through the glass door. Indeed, their hands were touching, pushing and pulling, unsure of what they were doing.
She’s a mother of two, and still people are pursuing her. What is it with these men, never having seen a woman before?
Zhan Beijue felt displeased. He scooped up the two children and pushed open the door.
“Wife. Are you done? Why aren’t you out yet?”
Although the boy didn’t understand Chinese, the word “wife” was quite sensitive.
Hearing it, he looked towards the entrance and was stunned to see a tall, handsome man carrying two adorable children.
Jiang Nanfang was also stunned by his calling her wife.
In the three years they were married, he had never called her that. Why today…
What was he trying to do these past two days?
Fearing the boy wouldn’t understand Chinese, Zhan Beijue switched to English.
“Is it that you can’t pay because you don’t have Korean Won? Why didn’t you call me? Come, I’ll pay for you.”
“Is there anything else you want? Let’s buy it all together.”
The boy’s eyes widened in disbelief, “You, you have a husband?”
Feeling as if she had lied and deceived him, Jiang Nanfang felt a bit awkward, “He’s not my husband.”
“Indeed. I’m just the father of her children. Did I interrupt your conversation? Shall I leave first?”
Zhan Beijue spoke with mock sincerity, his eyes fixed on them as he spoke of leaving.
The boy was extremely embarrassed and said no more. He accepted one RMB from Jiang Nanfang and quickly sat down with his head bowed.
As they walked out, Jiang Nanfang was still feeling awkward and scolded Zhan Beijue as they walked.
“I’m warning you, we have no relationship anymore. You’d better watch what you say.”
“Who’s your wife? What exactly are you trying to do?”
Zhan Beijue: “I’m not trying to do anything. I just think that person is too young and unsuitable for you, so I’m helping you cut off your romantic ties.”
“President Zhan is so enthusiastic now?” Jiang Nanfang almost choked on his words, “Thank you.”
“Miss Jiang, you’re welcome.” He raised his eyebrows, his mood clearly cheerful.
Having left in a hurry, Zhan Beijue and the children hadn’t brought any clothes.
There were many shops selling beach swimwear on the island. Girls, by nature, loved beauty, and Ge’er was quickly drawn to those shops.
They entered together, and the sales assistant recommended a family set to them in English.
“This is very popular, good quality, and reasonably priced. It’s especially suitable for a family of four like yours. Would you like to try it on?”
Silk floral shirts and floral shorts.
The children looked exceptionally cute wearing them, but Jiang Nanfang couldn’t imagine Zhan Beijue in such gaudy clothes.
“I have clothes with me, so I don’t need any. They’d look great on the two of them, you choose something for yourself.”
As if deliberately creating distance between them, she still refused to wear family matching outfits?
Without even trying them on, Zhan Beijue paid for them directly, “I’ll take it, wrap it up. One for each of the family of four.”
“Mommy, the swimsuits here are so pretty, should we wear bikinis?”
Ge’er envied and reached out to touch the lightly clad bikinis on another shelf.
Jiang Nanfang, being conservative, and having a scar on her stomach, refused to wear such clothes.
“Forget it, my figure isn’t good, I can’t wear them. You’re a child, you can’t wear those either.”
“Exactly. Why wear those messy things when there are perfectly good clothes available?”
Zhan Beijue came over and pulled his daughter, picking out a cute beach outfit for her.
“If you think you don’t have enough clothes, I’ll buy you two more sets. These are what little girls should wear.”
Ge’er pouted unhappily, thinking: The children on TV can wear such things, you two are too old-fashioned.
After buying clothes, they had to buy slippers, then sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats.
Once everything was bought, they had two large bags.
Jiang Nanfang held the hands of the two children and walked ahead, with Zhan Beijue following behind like a bodyguard, carrying the bags.
Rui Rui and Ge’er giggled as they walked.
Their dad was always served by others when he was in China, when had he ever played the role of a bag carrier?
But you have to admit.
He not only paid for everything but also insisted on carrying the bags. He really had the potential to be a devoted husband.
