Chapter 300 - A Good Time

Murong Yunxi’s sudden words surprised the whole family, who looked excited.

Niannian seemed to be the most excited one. She took Murong Yunxi’s arm, her big eyes twinkling and shining with a craving light. “Mommy, where are we going?”

During this period, the little girl was extremely bored. When she heard that she could go out and play, she was very excited. In fact, her focus was not on the location. She was more interested in going out with Murong Yunxi.

Before she got an answer, Niannian turned to the little girl and said, “Yanyan, have you ever travelled? We are going to another place to play. We have been to the beach on an island. We got there by plane, and it was a lot of fun. This time, Mommy will take us to play. Do you want to go?”

The little girl’s bean-like small eyes glinted, and her face expressed her eagerness. However, she just looked at Niannian keenly, without saying a word.

Niannian looked at her anxiously and muttered, “Do you want to go? If you don’t say anything, I will assume that you don’t want to go. Then, you will stay at home and I’ll go with Mommy.”

The little girl’s face changed in an instant. She blushed anxiously but still couldn’t say a word.

Niannian was a child, so she couldn’t read minds like an adult. She just stared at the little girl as she said unconsciously, “Then I’ll take that as a no.”

As soon as Niannian finished her words, the little girl anxiously pulled her sleeve and kept nodding.

As Niannian watched her nodding like a chicken pecking at rice ceaselessly, she laughed out loud.

Murong Yunxi knew Niannian well, so she couldn’t help but become a bit serious. “Niannian, you have been naughty again. Are you intentionally making fun of Yanyan?”

Niannian realized that her mom was slightly angry with her and explained in a hurry. “Mommy, no, I’m not. I just want to make her speak. I heard Uncle Xu say before that people who don’t speak may suddenly utter a word when there is an emergency, so I just tried it!”

Upon hearing Niannian’s answer, Murong Yunxi was slightly surprised. She felt gratified that Niannian could be so thoughtful at such a young age.

“Niannian, your intentions were good, but you should take it easy. You’ve heard the story of trying to help the shoots grow by pulling them upward. You could spoil things with your excessive enthusiasm. Given Yanyan’s current situation, you need to do this slowly. Don’t push her too far! My Niannian can think of others now. This is really amazing.”

Then, the family went back to the topic of the trip.

Murong Ye recommended going abroad. The weather abroad was much warmer, especially if the children liked the beach. He thought they could take Niannian and Yanyan to the beach, as foreign islands had a pleasing climate during this season.

Murong Qingtian suggested going south. There were some nice places in the south, and they wouldn’t need to travel too long, so they could spend more time playing.

Gong Yu was a total wife-lover. He would listen to everything Murong Yunxi said.

Murong Yunxi pondered this for a moment. She still wanted to go to a more romantic place, as she hadn’t traveled a lot so far. Her fantasy as a little girl had been to visit places with romantic stories and poetic atmospheres. She hadn’t gotten a chance to visit such a place before. She was not a little girl anymore, but this was still a dream that she wanted to realize.

Finally, Murong Yunxi chose the Aegean Sea. She had always longed for the blue roofs and the white walls of the houses there. She wished to get a chance to see and experience that romantic atmosphere.

Since this was a spontaneous journey, the departure date was in the next few days. They made a quick decision that they would fly to the Aegean Sea the day after tomorrow.

The Murong Family owned private planes, so this saved them the trouble of booking tickets. They also had all kinds of resources that enabled them to arrange everything in one day, such as passports, visas, accommodation, and other issues.

When they decided on the schedule, the whole family was very excited. They had been through a lot recently, so everyone was looking forward to the trip.

Of course, the two girls wanted to take this trip the most. All her excitement was written all over Niannian’s face. She just couldn’t stop talking about it.

The little girl didn’t say a word, but her pair of bean-like eyes were full of excitement. She might be the person who wanted to go the most.

The little girl used to live with a family that had lacked money. Her parents had been busy making money to support their family, so they’d had no chance and no spare money to take her on a trip. People often yearned for the first time when they hadn’t experienced one. That night, the little girl was the only person who lost sleep among the family.

The next day, the family began to prepare for the trip. Murong Qingtian had a physical examination so that the doctor could confirm whether he could travel, Murong Ye arranged his affairs properly so that he wouldn’t let work affect this precious trip, and Murong Yunxi began to pack daily necessities, common medicine, and other stuff for the two little girls. Gong Yu hadn’t been to the company for a long time, so he had to show up once before he left to travel. He needed to let Seventh Brother know about his existence before he disappeared again for many days. As for the two kids, they just needed to keep up their excitement.

Of course, the housekeeper was the busiest person in the house, as he was responsible for preparing the accommodation, food, and other things.

At night, after a busy day, everyone was so tired that they all went to sleep. They had gotten ready for tomorrow’s trip.

The little girl probably had lost sleep the night before, as she went to bed early that day.

The next morning, Niannian was sleeping soundly, when she felt her nose itch. She rubbed her nose impatiently and the itch stopped. Soon, the itchy feeling came back.

Niannian opened her eyes reluctantly and saw the little girl looking at her with a sweet smile on her face.

This was the first time that Niannian had seen her laugh so happily ever since she had met the little girl. When she occasionally smiled, it was always a bland smile. This was the first time she was laughing so happily.

Niannian sat up and told the little girl with some displeasure, “What are you doing? Why don’t you let me sleep in the morning?”

The little girl still smiled. She said nothing as she pulled Niannian out of bed. Niannian could do nothing but follow her.

The little girl had already helped Niannian prepare the toothpaste, the gargle and water so she could wash her face. A towel had also been set aside. She had thought of everything.

Niannian used to have servants around her in the old mansion, so she was not surprised at all by this preparation.

She gave the little girl a big sweet smile and then she started to wash.

The beautiful morning began, and the family packed up and stepped on the plane to the Greek Aegean Sea.

Maybe other people didn’t travel to the Aegean Sea so comfortably, because there was no direct flight. However, Murong Yunxi’s family could take a private plane and land on an island in the Aegean Sea directly from their old mansion.

The island was well-equipped, and the supporting facilities were stable and complete. The housekeeper had reserved the entire island to ensure the safety of the family. No outsiders would disturb them.

Now, the family could have a good time. When Murong Yunxi set foot on her dream land, she saw her favorite blue-topped, white-wall buildings. The sea there was so green and clear.

Murong Yunxi liked the scenery, as the sea seemed to meet the sky in the distance. She stood on the balcony of the hotel and looked at the beach and the sea. All the shadows of these days disappeared at once. She actually felt as delighted as if this had never happened.

Murong Ye took the two little girls to the beach. From this point of view, Murong Yunxi saw three tiny figures on the beach. She didn’t know what they were doing. They just formed a circle and squatted on the ground.

Murong Qingtian was tired after the long journey. His body was still weak, so he stayed in his room to get some rest.

Murong Yunxi stood on the balcony, put her elbows on the railing, and held her cheeks in her hands, looking at the birds flying in the horizon. Murong Yunxi was not sure if they were seagulls, but the sight of white birds flying on the blue sea was very beautiful.

A pair of powerful arms suddenly held her slender waist, and a sharp chin touched her shoulder.

As a light breeze was blowing, the smell of familiar tobacco filled her nose and her mood immediately changed.

“What are you doing?” Gong Yu said with a magnetic voice, her ears ringing with his mellow and elegant voice.

Murong Yunxi smiled and enjoyed the embrace. They had not been so close for a long time.

She had gone to City S for business and then disappeared during the earthquake. Fortunately, she had come back at last. Just as she had returned, Murong Qiangtian had gotten injured. Now that these bad things were over, their hugs became even more precious.

Murong Yunxi pressed her cheek against Gong Yu’s cheek. The touch warmed her cheek, which had cooled down because of the breeze.

“Gong Yu, we are very happy now, aren’t we?” Murong Yunxi asked Gong Yu instead of answering his question.

Gong Yu nodded and hugged Murong Yunxi tighter in his arms.

“Holding you like this is happiness for me, no matter where or when it happens. Even if we become very old, even if we live a poor life, even if we get through a lot, as long as I can hold you like this, we will be happy.”

Gong Yu’s voice was bland. The gentle breeze was still blowing, and the same beautiful scenery was right before them. All this made Murong Yunxi feel as if she was drunk.

Murong Yunxi squinted her eyes in fascination as her heart became more tranquil. She felt as quiet as if they were the only people left in the world.

At the moment, Murong Yunxi felt happier than ever, as if a large field of flowers were blossoming in her heart. As if the sky went pink with a touch of sweetness…

Murong Yunxi closed her eyes to enjoy the quiet moment, when she suddenly felt the arms around her go loose. Gong Yu held her shoulders and then kissed her with cold lips, making their happiness become sweeter.
