CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 118 SEASIDE HOLIDAY

On this issue, Gu Jinxiu was very insistent, "Dad, mom kissed me before she even got married to you, why can’t she kiss me?"

Gu Yikun kept a straight face, "Do you want me to have the driver take you back?"

Gu Jinxiu looked to An Junxi for help, Daddy is being too unreasonable!

An Junxi shook Gu Yikun’s arm, "Let’s eat first. After we eat, we’ll go swimming." She pushed Gu Yikun to sit at the dining table and got Gu Jinxiu to sit down too.

Gu Jinxiu didn’t dare say anything else to make his dad angry, for fear that he would really be sent back by the driver and wouldn’t be able to play.

How could they be so mean, wanting to leave him behind and play by themselves?

Gu Jinxiu cut steak for An Junxi, "Mom, eat mine."

Gu Yikun raised an eyebrow and pushed his own steak toward An Junxi, "Eat mine."

An Junxi felt exasperated. When did this father and son duo regress to the same intellectual level?

She didn’t eat either and said, "I’ll cut my own and eat my own."

The father and son continued to stare at each other.

An Junxi said, "Whoever eats the fastest, I’ll swim with them later." No, she didn’t actually know how to swim, just intended to splash around in the water.

The father and son began to eat furiously, and An Junxi shook her head. They really were father and son.

They quickly finished their meal. An Junxi went upstairs to change into her swimsuit while Gu Yikun and Gu Jinxiu took all the water toys down to the beach.

Gu Yikun walked ahead effortlessly with a double float tube in hand, while Gu Jinxiu struggled to drag his float tube behind him.

He looked up at his dad’s tall back and muscular body, then at his own thin arms, and secretly vowed to work harder in his martial arts training!

By the time they had everything ready, An Junxi had come downstairs.

There were several swimsuits in the room, and she picked the most conservative one. Although Yikun applied scar removal cream on her back every night, the scars were still somewhat apparent. To avoid scaring the kid, she dressed conservatively.

She walked over in her beach sandals. The sunset was casting a golden glow over the ocean, seagulls occasionally flew by, and the sea breeze brought a slight chill—really very pleasant.

Gu Jinxiu was swimming, while Gu Yikun instructed him nearby. The father and son’s shadows were elongated by the sunset, making them look very harmonious.

An Junxi took a few photos from a distance.

After taking several pictures, she moved closer to find a better angle. At this point, Gu Yikun turned around and looked at her. He was wearing swim trunks, his muscular lines were fully visible, his hair dripping with water. The water droplets slid over his well-defined features down to his sexy Adam’s apple.

He looked into her lens, his deep and gentle eyes meeting hers, then his thin lips curled into a handsome and confident smile.

An Junxi’s heart raced as she pressed the shutter. She regretted that she wasn’t holding a proper camera.

She looked at the photos she had just taken, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. The photos on her phone turned out pretty good too. Good looks really do allow for some indulgence.

Gu Yikun walked over and wrapped his arm around her waist, looking at the photos together on her phone. He nodded and said, "They’re pretty good."

"Of course, my photography skills are excellent."

Gu Yikun said, "Isn’t it because I’m handsome?"

An Junxi laughed heartily and gave his chest a playful pat, "Mr. Gu, you’re so vain."

Gu Yikun held her mischievous hand. He tended to get impulsive around her, but with their little "light bulb" (child) nearby, he didn’t dare act too freely.

He took her phone and looked through a few more photos, then smirked and said, "Xi Xi, so you like to take candid pictures of me?"

An Junxi peeked at it; it was a photo from when she had just arrived at the Gu Family, "Don’t look at that!"

She tried to snatch the phone back, but Gu Yikun held it up high, "Let me see the date it was taken... Well, well, you’ve had a crush on me for that long?"

An Junxi blushed and hit him on the back, "Yeah, go ahead and boast."

Gu Yikun suddenly embraced her and planted a kiss on her cheek, "Darling, that makes me very happy."

Gu Jinxiu emerged from the water and saw his dad, who was supposed to be instructing him, sneaking a kiss from his mom again. He shouted, "Mom, come over here!"

An Junxi pushed Gu Yikun away and ran to the water’s edge with her phone, "Jinxiu, swim a few more laps and I’ll take some more photos for you."

The safe zone in the water had safety barriers, so swimming was absolutely safe. Jinxiu had also participated in school swimming competitions, so An Junxi wasn’t worried at all.

Gu Jinxiu showed off his skills and swam two laps. An Junxi couldn’t stop taking pictures, "So perfect, very impressive!"

He swam to the shore excitedly, "Let me see!"

An Junxi handed him the phone and called out to Gu Yikun, "Yikun, let’s take a selfie. We don’t have a picture together yet."

Gu Yikun didn’t like taking photos usually, but he didn’t mind taking some with her.

He walked over, and An Junxi switched the camera to the front one. They took many photos together, making funny faces. Gu Yikun then pushed his son aside and said, "I want a picture with just your mom."

Gu Jinxiu pouted angrily, "Later I want a picture with just mom too!"

"Okay."

An Junxi wanted to laugh. She added a beauty filter to the photo, making Gu Yikun’s already incredibly handsome face look almost devilishly charming. She took a few photos, felt something was off, and then used her hand to cover Gu Yikun’s exposed parts. Much better.

Gu Yikun’s lips twitched. This woman, why could she always make romantic moments so funny? Most people couldn’t photoshop a body like his, but here she was, covering him up.

After they finally had enough photo-taking, An Junxi decided to try the water. By then, half the sun had disappeared beneath the horizon, and the water was a little cold. An Junxi clung to Gu Yikun and wouldn’t let go, "I can’t swim!"

Gu Yikun enjoyed this feeling of being needed by her. He said, "I’ll teach you."

He helped An Junxi put on her swimming goggles and supported her by the waist, "Relax completely, just start by kicking the water."

With Gu Yikun as her instructor, An Junxi felt very safe. Besides, she learned quickly and soon could float in the water.

As An Junxi grew less afraid of the water, she felt tired after a bit of practice and didn’t want to keep learning. She climbed onto the float tube and let Gu Yikun push her around.

Gu Yikun shook his head, "This student is too lazy. Don’t say I taught you."

An Junxi playfully said, "We have all the time in the world. You’re my personal coach; you can teach me anytime."

Gu Jinxiu said, "I can teach too."

Gu Yikun immediately said, "No way, I’ll teach."

An Junxi saw they were about to argue again, so she quickly mediated, "I want to go ashore and collect shells."

They played around on the beach, and An Junxi asked Gu Yikun to lift Jinxiu onto his shoulders, "Let me take a photo."

Of course, Gu Yikun obeyed his wife’s commands and effortlessly lifted their son.

Gu Jinxiu shouted excitedly, "So high up!"

His dad had never held him like this before. Gu Jinxi had always envied his classmates whose dads did this. Now that his dad finally carried him this way, he was naturally overjoyed.
