Recently, the Ye family had a team-building event. Ye Jinghuai thought that he hadn't taken Nuannuan out to play yet. So, he decided to take this opportunity to take a break and bring Nuannuan out for some fun.
As soon as this idea was shared with Nuannuan, less than half a day later, everyone else in the family started requesting to join.
What was originally planned as father-daughter bonding time turned into a family outing for everyone.
Not a single person was left behind this time, Qiaoqiao and Ermao were also included. Even Ye Jingchen put in considerable effort to be able to join this trip.
On the private jet, the family was chatting merrily. The twin brothers, along with Nuannuan, Qiaoqiao, and Ermao, were playing on the side.
"Oh my, ever since Nuannuan came into our family, it's become so much more lively," Liu Ruhua said, looking at Nuannuan with a gratified expression.
"Grandma, aren't we lively?" the twins looked up, feigning wronged expressions at her.
"Yes, you all are, but now even more so," Liu Ruhua chuckled, covering her mouth.
"Isn't that right? Jingchen and I didn't even have a honeymoon after we got married, so this trip is like making up for it," Lin Anran also chimed in with a smile.
"This is my fault. I hope my wife will forgive me," Ye Jingchen said, cupping his hands in a bow.
Lin Anran glanced at him but didn't reply, her eyes, however, were full of amusement.
"Nuannuan, are you tired? Do you want to come sleep by Dad for a while?" Ye Jinghuai saw that Nuannuan seemed tired and beckoned her over.
"Dad, Nuannuan isn't tired. Nuannuan is so happy and just wants to get there quickly." Nuannuan leaned lazily against Qiaoqiao, too comfortable to move.
Qiaoqiao indulged her, letting her lean on him. Ermao lay opposite her, using his body to support Nuannuan's legs.
"Jingzhi, you're about to enter the military. You must always remember your identity and responsibilities, understand?" Ye Jianming couldn't stay idle for long and always wanted to lecture his son when he had the chance.
Ye Jingzhi was graduating this year. If he hadn't wanted to join this trip, he would have entered the military early.
"Understood, Dad," Ye Jingzhi replied, rubbing his head helplessly.
"Tsk, can you stop being so annoying? We're having a nice family outing, and you're already nagging. Can't you just relax?" Liu Ruhua patted him forcefully.
"Wife, what did I do? I'm educating our son," Ye Jianming said plaintively.
"Educating what! Your sons were all educated by their father since they were young. You were so busy with the company back then, did you even remember you had sons? Now that they're older, you want to educate them. Do you think their father didn't educate them well?" Liu Ruhua was going through menopause, and her temper was becoming more explosive.
"No, I just said it casually! Wife, give me some face," Ye Jianming whispered in her ear.
"Hmph~" Liu Ruhua turned her head away haughtily.
It's true what they say, only a mother can manage a father.
Three hours later, the plane landed in S City.
After disembarking, the group split into two cars and drove to the Ye family's private beach there.
The beach under the setting sun was tranquil and beautiful. Waves from the horizon rolled ashore layer by layer, drawing arcs on the sand, as if recording some mysterious script.
"Wow~ So beautiful!"
Nuannuan, with her short legs, rushed towards the beach.
"Ao ao~" (Woohoo~)
Qiaoqiao also darted out quickly and rolled on the sand.
"Woof woof woof~" Ermao also let loose, playing wildly with Qiaoqiao.
At this moment, the villa's housekeeper was waiting at the entrance with his staff.
"Nuannuan, it's a bit late today. Shall we go home first? We can play again tomorrow," Ye Jinghuai called out to Nuannuan, who was not far away, standing at the villa entrance.
"Okay~" Nuannuan waved in response.
"Qiaoqiao, Ermao, let's go home!" Nuannuan cupped her hands around her mouth to call out to the two dogs playing wildly in the distance.
"Ao~" (Coming.)
Qiaoqiao and Ermao shook the sand off themselves and ran over.
"The scenery here is indeed good," Ye Jingming said, looking around with a satisfied expression.
"When did our family get this beach? If I had known it was this beautiful, I would have come much earlier," Liu Ruhua said, sitting on the sofa and rubbing her neck.
"Wife, it's not too late for you to come now," Ye Jianming sat beside her and massaged her shoulders.
The villa's housekeeper and his staff were carrying everyone's luggage. Ye Jinghuai had made all the arrangements before they arrived, so no one had to lift a finger upon arrival.
"Mom, why did you bring so much luggage?" Ye Jingzhi asked, stunned when he saw Liu Ruhua had five large suitcases.
"Is it a lot? Doesn't your father's luggage also take up space in there?" Liu Ruhua sat comfortably on the sofa, enjoying her husband's service.
"Cough, wife, my things only take up half a suitcase," Ye Jianming interjected weakly.
"What? Are you wronged?" Liu Ruhua shot him a glance.
"No, no, I think half a suitcase is a bit too much. It takes up your space, and I'm afraid you won't have enough," Ye Jianming said, shaking his head repeatedly.
"It's fine. If anything is missing, we can buy it later," Liu Ruhua said magnanimously, waving her hand.
"Mom, haven't you finished packing yet? What did you bring?" Ye Jingzhi curiously wanted to open a suitcase to see.
"Women's things, what do you understand?" Liu Ruhua gave him a sideways glance.
"Sister-in-law, are you the same?" Ye Jingzhi then turned to ask Lin Anran.
"I don't think it's a lot! I also brought three suitcases." Lin Anran thought that if Ye Jingchen hadn't stopped her, she could have packed another suitcase.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, what did you bring?" Ye Jingzhi asked like a curious baby.
"If you want to know, go ask your sister-in-law!"
Ye Jingchen was too lazy to answer him, mainly because he didn't know what many of the items were for himself.
"Uncle, it's best not to be too curious about women's things."
The twins, remembering their past painful lessons, quickly advised him.
Seeing the frightened expressions on the twins' faces, Ye Jingzhi shivered.
"Uncle, Nuannuan's things can be shown to you!" Nuannuan said, pointing to her small suitcase.
"Nuannuan, why did you only bring this little bit of stuff?" Liu Ruhua said, looking at Nuannuan's lone small suitcase with some dissatisfaction.
"Grandma, Nuannuan's things are enough! Dad packed them for Nuannuan."
"What does your dad, a rough guy, know? Did he pack sunscreen for you? Grandma's darling can't be un-exquisite. We can't get tanned and go back," Liu Ruhua said, gently pinching Nuannuan's soft little face.
"Nuannuan doesn't want to be dark." Nuannuan subconsciously shook her head.
"Don't worry, with Grandma here, Grandma brought everything. I knew your dad was unreliable," Liu Ruhua said, planting a kiss on Nuannuan's face.
"Mmm~"
Ye Jinghuai stood aside, shaking his head helplessly.
