CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 181 MRS. GU IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL

An Junxi brazenly took many poster-worthy photos of Mr. Gu, then pulled Gu Yikun in for a few selfies. She was very satisfied with all the photos.

Maybe it’s because she’s influenced by being around her handsome husband every day, she feels her own looks are skyrocketing.

An Junxi secretly giggled; this is definitely not her narcissism or an illusion!

Gu Yikun pinched her face, "Why does Mrs. Gu keep giggling? Hurry, spill it. What bad thing are you thinking about?"

An Junxi lay directly on the mat, her head rested on his thigh, she raised her hand to playfully mess with his firm yet alluring face, "I was thinking, if Mr. Gu is this handsome, his wife must be very pretty too."

Gu Yikun agreed wholeheartedly, "Yes, Mr. Gu’s wife is the most beautiful."

"Hahaha," An Junxi covered her face, "I really feel a bit guilty."

Gu Yikun removed her hand, leaned down and bit her lip, "I’m serious."

Gu Jinxiu ran over from a distance, "Mom and Dad, you’re kissing again!"

An Junxi quickly pushed Gu Yikun away, she sat up. A fluffy little white thing ran into her arms, barking twice.

An Junxi saw that Daini was panting heavily, she asked Gu Jinxiu, "Aren’t you training Daini too hard? She’s exhausted!"

Gu Jinxiu had a look of frustration, "I even wanted to sign her up for a dog challenge race, but she’s not making any effort!"

An Junxi asked amusedly, "What dog challenge race? What events are there?"

Gu Jinxiu said, "The dog has to complete jumping, searching, crossing a single-log bridge, swimming... several events within five minutes. She’s still far from it!"

An Junxi stroked Daini’s head, "Poor baby, with such a strict owner, you’ll have to keep working hard."

Gu Jinxiu sat down and took a bite of a sandwich, "I usually feed Daini high-quality dog food; she should be putting in more effort."

An Junxi nodded repeatedly, "Young master is right, you get out what you put in." He was like a little adult.

After finishing his sandwich, Gu Jinxiu took out dog food for Daini and gave her a bit of water, "Alright, Daini, let’s try again!"

Daini lay limp in An Junxi’s arms.

An Junxi said, "Let’s rest for a while. You too, you just ate, you can’t go running."

"Okay, I’ll go ask Clyde to get the tent."

Without waiting for a reply, Gu Jinxiu ran into the house to ask the servant to prepare the tent.

An Junxi turned to Gu Yikun, "Are we really going to camp outside tonight?"

Camping in the wild is fine, but camping on the lawn of the estate... seems odd?

Gu Yikun leaned against the tree, looking helpless, "If you like it, I won’t oppose."

Since he put it that way, An Junxi certainly had to consider Jinxiu’s preferences first, she said, "Then we’ll camp tonight."

The butler and two maids brought the tent out, planning to set it up. Gu Yikun said, "Let me do it."

They stepped aside, and Gu Yikun called Gu Jinxiu over, "I’ll teach you how to set up a tent."

"Okay!"

Gu Jinxiu was delighted to do something with his dad, watching intently and trying to help as much as he could.

An Junxi joined in too, though she was just watching.

Setting up a tent wasn’t easy, Gu Yikun explained while working, and Gu Jinxiu asked several "whys". Gu Yikun patiently explained, and Gu Jinxiu listened attentively.

An Junxi noticed that although Gu Yikun usually seemed disengaged with the child, he actually paid great attention to Jinxiu’s education. He personally guided many things, instead of delegating.

Maybe this was the tradition of a century-old family, maintaining humility despite high status.

They set up the tent, Gu Jinxiu went in and out, constantly exclaiming, "This is so cool! It’s my first time camping!"

An Junxi was both amused and exasperated; this hardly counted as camping. True outdoor camping was much more fun!

She certainly wouldn’t dampen the child’s mood and said, "Then tonight we’ll look at the stars outside!"

Gu Jinxiu said, "I want to sleep in the middle tonight!" Finally getting to sleep with mom and dad, this was his long-hoped-for wish!

Gu Yikun wanted to refuse, but An Junxi held his hand and said, "Okay, you sleep in the middle."

Gu Jinxiu jumped up, "Mommy, I love you!"

Gu Yikun could only sigh and accept.

Daini hopped around Gu Jinxiu. Despite being young and weak, this dog was quite smart, accurately sensing its owner’s emotions, making it a great little partner.

An Junxi was very fond of Daini and considered bringing the dog back to China, but since her mother-in-law didn’t like it, she never brought it up with Gu Yikun.

An Junxi saw it was past six in the evening; by now her parents in China should be waking up. She sat down and called them on video, saying to Gu Jinxiu, "Jinxiu, come say good morning to your grandparents."

Gu Jinxiu went over, his face filling the screen, happily shouting, "Good morning, grandpa and grandma! Do you miss me? I miss you!"

Mr. and Mrs. An were delighted, smiling, "We missed you too, Jinxiu. How’s your study in the United States?"

"Very good, the professor said if I pass the exam, I can go back home early."

"Great job!"

Gu Jinxiu chatted endlessly with the two elders, Gu Yikun also came to say hello. An Junxi said, "Let them chat."

Gu Yikun then took her swimming. An Junxi had learned the moves but not the breathing technique, so it was a good time to practice.

Yan City.

Zhang Miaoyan and Gong Xiaoyu went house hunting. Initially, Zhang Miaoyan favored apartments, but Yue Xiaoyang suggested she buy a house, so she had to search for a suitable small house again, knowing that Yue Xiaoyang’s advice was always sound.

The two girls visited two properties. Zhang Miaoyan liked a small two-bedroom unit, but the price was unaffordable.

The saleslady saw they were well-dressed and put in a lot of effort to upsell larger suites. Zhang Miaoyan said, "We’ll look around some more, thank you."

The saleslady, seeing they didn’t seem ready to buy, lost enthusiasm.

Zhang Miaoyan didn’t care, pulling Gong Xiaoyu aside to discuss, "What do you think about this place?"

Gong Xiaoyu said, "The location is good, the layout is nice, but for this orientation, it’s a bit overpriced."

"I think so too," Zhang Miaoyan said, "and I can’t afford the down payment." She hadn’t worked for long, and if not for minimal expenses and company reimbursements, she wouldn’t have saved much.

Gong Xiaoyu was about to offer a loan when Yue Xiaoyang called, asking how the house hunt was going.

Gong Xiaoyu explained the situation, and Yue Xiaoyang said, "I know the developer of that property, it’s a good buy. How much does Miaoyan need for the down payment?"

Gong Xiaoyu asked, "How much more do you need for the down payment?"

Zhang Miaoyan waved her hand, "We should look some more; I’m not buying this place."

"Why not? Didn’t you like it?"

Zhang Miaoyan felt embarrassed, "I’m still short on the down payment."

"It’s fine, just say how much."
