Amid Xia Ran's ecstasy, the roller coaster sped up faster and faster, but neither Xia Ran nor Gu Zheng showed the slightest fear.
When they reached the highest point and started to rush down, the people in front and behind them were screaming loudly, but Xia Ran didn't. He just couldn't help but turn his head to look to the side.
Gu Zheng didn't know why, but he also looked at Xia Ran. The moment their eyes met, Xia Ran suddenly smiled.
This kind of life is already very good! If he could live like this forever, even if Ah Zheng never liked him, he would be content!
Xia Ran doesn't ask for much; she just wants Gu Zheng to continue treating her like he does now.
Xia Ran's eyes were bright when she got off the roller coaster.
Gu Zheng's expression remained unchanged.
Because Gu Zheng accompanied him on this roller coaster ride, Xia Ran was extremely excited and even felt that his relationship with Gu Zheng had become closer.
"Ah Zheng, let's hurry and go find Xiao Chen, I'm afraid he'll cry."
Xia Ran grasped Gu Zheng's hand, which was intentional on his part. He wanted to test how far Gu Zheng would indulge him.
Gu Zheng's subsequent reaction undoubtedly made Xia Ran happy and excited.
Gu Zheng then grasped Xia Ran's hand and led her forward, his movements and expression completely natural, without the slightest hint of reluctance.
Xia Ran's lips were also curving upwards in a wild smile.
When the two arrived at the staff booth, Gu Chen was looking towards the door with red eyes. When he saw the two of them coming, he stood up and rushed towards Xia Ran like a cannonball.
Although Gu Chen is only five years old, Xia Ran almost lost her balance when he rushed over so forcefully. Fortunately, Gu Zheng caught him.
Xia Ran couldn't care less about anything else and could only bend down and pick up Gu Chen.
"Baby."
Xia Ran sounded a little guilty, because he didn't know what to say for a moment.
These two fathers actually left their child behind to go play.
Gu Chen wrapped his arms tightly around Xia Ran's neck, and said in a pitiful voice,
"You guys, you've been gone for... a long time..."
The voice was very soft, like that of a kitten, which made Xia Ran feel extremely sorry for it.
"I'm sorry, baby. It was Daddy's fault. I was just playing around and that's why I made you wait here alone for so long. But I promise you, this will never happen again."
"Really...really?" Gu Chen looked at Xia Ran in disbelief.
Xia Ran nodded immediately, "Of course it's true, absolutely true. Daddy would never lie to his baby."
After receiving Xia Ran's affirmative answer, Gu Chen looked at Gu Zheng next to him, his eyes filled with accusation.
Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.
His big boss just abandoned him and ordered him not to cry, saying they would be back soon and that if he didn't obey, he would never see his little boss again.
Faced with Gu Chen's accusations, Gu Zheng remained unmoved, showing no intention of answering.
Xia Ran desperately tried to signal Gu Zheng with her eyes, and finally, in a fit of anger, she stomped on Gu Zheng's foot.
Can't you see how upset the child is? Ah Zheng is usually very smart, but how come he's so oblivious when it comes to his child?
Xia Ran had no idea that Gu Zheng wasn't slow-witted; he was simply considering whether or not to answer Gu Chen's question.
After all, Gu Chen is just a child. How can his father let Gu Chen lead him by the nose?
However, after being stepped on by Xia Ran, Gu Zheng could only nod expressionlessly, which was considered his answer to Gu Chen's question.
Gu Chen pouted, finally satisfied.
"Big Daddy is bad...lost...baby..."
But despite being satisfied, they still couldn't hold back their complaints.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ran couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Zheng's face immediately darkened.
Xia Ran saw this and dared not laugh anymore, so she could only suppress her laughter.
"Alright, Zheng, shouldn't we move on to the next place?"
Xia Ran tugged at Gu Zheng's sleeve.
Gu Zheng glanced at them expressionlessly, then walked ahead alone.
Xia Ran suppressed a laugh, picked up Gu Chen, and followed. Once they caught up with Gu Zheng, he whispered,
"Ah Zheng, don't be angry. It was our fault this time too. After all, we were the ones who left Xiao Chen behind. So please forgive him this time, okay?"
Gu Zheng slowed down and turned to look at Xia Ran. When he saw the ingratiating look on Xia Ran's face and Gu Chen's pout in Xia Ran's arms, he sighed helplessly in his heart and then took Gu Chen from Xia Ran's arms.
"Alright, let's go."
Although he didn't say whether he was still angry or not, it was obvious from his current appearance that he wasn't angry anymore, and Xia Ran's smile widened considerably.
Gu Chen, who was being carried by Gu Zheng, squirmed uncomfortably, as if he didn't want Gu Zheng to carry him.
Xia Ran could only give Gu Chen a meaningful look, and Gu Chen pursed his lips before reluctantly settling down and ceasing to move.
After leaving the amusement park, they went to a children's cinema specifically designed for children and parents, where the movies shown were all suitable for children.
Gu Zheng didn't seem to care about any of this, but Xia Ran watched with great interest. Afraid that Gu Chen wouldn't understand, she would occasionally whisper explanations to him.
When they see something exciting or funny, the two of them will burst into laughter together.
Gu Zheng felt helpless every time he saw this scene, and even had the illusion that he was raising two sons.
Gu Zheng's attention was always on Xia Ran's face. He couldn't understand how someone who was already in her twenties could still act like a child.
Chapter 46 Your husband is so good to you
Gu Zheng's doubts were destined to remain unanswered, as Xia Ran and Gu Chen continued to enjoy the spectacle.
After the movie ended, it was time for dinner.
Xia Ran thought Gu Zheng would take them home, but she didn't expect that they would end up going to dinner, and to a place full of, well, full of romance.
Romantic piano music filled the air, and heart-shaped roses adorned the table; the entire private room was decorated in a subtly romantic and intimate style.
Xia Ran stood at the door of the private room, blinked, and thought of the restaurant name she had just seen at the door.
A restaurant for couples.
Xia Ran looked up at Gu Zheng in disbelief, her face flushed, and whispered,
“Ah Zheng, actually… actually we’re already married, so we don’t need to go on dates in these places anymore. We should find a time when it’s more suitable for Xiao Chen to have dinner.”
Although Xia Ran said those words, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
Gu Zheng had a dark expression the whole time. He had asked Qin Hao to prepare a place to eat, but he didn't expect Qin Hao to prepare such a place.
It seems necessary to find something for Qin Hao to do.
Meanwhile, Qin Hao, who was keeping his achievements hidden, was playing a game when he inexplicably sneezed several times.
"Oh dear, it must be my brother expressing his gratitude to me, tsk tsk tsk..." Qin Hao muttered to himself, a subtle smile appearing in his eyes as he thought of the restaurant he had booked.
Gu Zheng turned his head slightly to look at Xia Ran. When he saw the liking and happiness in Xia Ran's eyes, he suppressed his discomfort.
He married Xia Ran, but he didn't want to come to places that couples and lovers usually visit.
That would make me feel...
Gu Zheng closed his eyes briefly before walking in expressionlessly.
"Come in, everyone's here."
Xia Ran, completely absorbed in her joy and excitement, didn't notice Gu Zheng's unusual behavior at all. She just blushed and followed him inside with a smile.
It would be a lie to say he didn't like this place. After all, this was the first time Gu Zheng had brought him to a place like this, which was like a couple's date. How could he not be happy or dislike it?
Upon hearing this, the waiter following behind them smiled and said...
"Your husband is so good to you. You both look quite young, I didn't expect you to be married already."
Actually, they wouldn't dare to talk to customers like that when they work here normally, but because Xia Ran is not like the other customers they usually serve who look down on them, but rather seems very easy to get along with, he couldn't help but say one more thing.
Upon hearing this, Xia Ran blushed even more and nodded, saying...
"He's fine."
Gu Zheng, who had just sat down, happened to hear these words, and his eyes flickered slightly.
If Xia Ran knew that he didn't book this place, and that he even disliked it very much, would Xia Ran still think he was a good person?
While Gu Zheng was deep in thought, Xia Ran had already sat down, and the waiter left after putting down the high chair he had brought.
This was Xia Ran's first time visiting these places, and she seemed very curious.
Gu Chen was also curious, his eyes darting around.
"Little bastard...this place...is beautiful..."
Xia Ran looked at Gu Chen with a smile and replied,
"Yes, it looks good. Does Xiao Chen like it?"
"Little bastard...do you like it?" Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, but asked Xia Ran instead.
Xia Ran's heart softened at Gu Chen's words.
"Of course I like it!"
Gu Chen's smile deepened considerably.
"Then...baby...likes it too!"
The words were still fragmented, but they moved Xia Ran to the point that her nose felt a little sore.
"Good boy!" Xia Ran reached out and patted Gu Chen's head.
Gu Chen nuzzled his head into Xia Ran's hand, looking completely satisfied.
Gu Zheng, who was initially dissatisfied with this place, seemed less dissatisfied after seeing this scene.
He and Xia Ran are indeed a married couple now, so there's nothing wrong with them eating here.
