Chapter 2725: Chapter 2729: Knowing What Romance Means

After that, the kids didn’t dare race along the top of the wall anymore, but inside the yard they could still get into trouble everywhere.

Every day her son played until he was dripping with sweat and covered in dust.

There were upsides, though.

Ever since her son started running wild like that, his appetite kept getting bigger, his body kept getting healthier, and he hadn’t been sick for a long time.

Compared to her half-fond, half-disgusted attitude, Fifth Lord of Gu’s attitude toward these kids was completely hands-off.

In Fifth Lord of Gu’s words, loving to play is a child’s nature; let them play however they like, as long as they don’t grow crooked and their character is good—however they want to play, just let them be happy.

Seeing Ye Xingbei walk over, the dirt-smeared Xiao Shumiao immediately came sprinting over, throwing himself into her arms. "Mom!"

Ye Xingbei took out a tissue and wiped the sweat off his head. "Look at you, filthy, like a little soot-faced cat."

Xiao Shumiao grinned and said, "I’m still the cutest little soot-faced cat!"

Ye Xingbei was speechless and tapped him between the brows. "You’re getting more and more like your dad!"

Xiao Shumiao grinned and said, "The son takes after his father—like father, like son!"

Ye Xingbei: "..."

This little mouth of her son’s just kept going; he even had his own set of "reasoning," way too slick!

"Mom, Dad’s back. Have you seen Dad?" Xiao Shumiao hugged her waist and tilted his little face up to look at her. "Dad said he’s got everything ready. Once Mom wakes up, we can go on the boat!"

"I haven’t seen him." Ye Xingbei looked around. "Where’s your dad?"

Xiao Shumiao said, "He probably went to the study? Mom, let’s go look for him. Once we find Dad, we can go on the boat!"

The little guy pulled Ye Xingbei toward the front courtyard.

Ye Xingbei asked him, "Are we eating dinner on the boat?"

"Yep," Xiao Shumiao said. "We’re going to have barbecue and hotpot, and I’m going to the shop to get lots and lots of desserts!"

Ye Xingbei was speechless. "Hotpot and barbecue with desserts—what kind of eating combo is that?"

"Hotpot and barbecue are the main meal, desserts are snacks after," Xiao Shumiao said happily. "I’ll sit at the bow of the boat, enjoy the moon while eating desserts. It’ll be so romantic!"

Ye Xingbei: "..."

A little kid like him, what does he know about romantic!

Xiao Shumiao dragged Ye Xingbei all the way to the study and knocked on the door, knock, knock, knock. "Dad, are you in there? Mom and I are coming in."

"I’m here." Gu Junzhu’s voice came through the door.

Xiao Shumiao opened the door and tugged Ye Xingbei into the study. "Dad, Mom’s awake. We can go on the boat."

Gu Junzhu saved the document with one hand, shut down the computer, and caught the pouncing Xiao Shumiao with the other, rubbing his head. "Okay, we’ll leave right away."

He got up and walked over to Ye Xingbei, stared at her for a moment, then frowned. "You slept so long and your face is still this pale. Tomorrow you have to go to the hospital for a checkup. This time I’m not postponing it for anything. Objections overruled."

"..." Ye Xingbei lifted her hand to touch her face. "I think I’m fine. I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere, just lazy and low on energy. Probably slept too much."

She had experience with this.

If she didn’t sleep enough, she’d be dead tired; if she slept too much, it wouldn’t feel good either— the more she slept, the more sluggish she felt.

"It’s nothing," she said, looping her arm through Gu Junzhu’s. "Once I get out and walk around a bit, I’ll feel better. I know my own body; there’s definitely nothing wrong."

"Nothing you say will work," Gu Junzhu said. "Tomorrow’s Sunday, everyone’s free. I’ll take you to the hospital and have Yue Yaer and Qingrun go with us. We’ll have them check you thoroughly."
