Глава 21

"What? You don't want to? Fine, then you can wait until your next life to see Mommy, pfft!" Du Yunhao shrugged and said nonchalantly. "Anyway, she's your wife, not mine."

Joel sighed heavily. "Kid, what do you really want?"

Du Yunhao's eyes lit up. "When I'm studying at MIT, you have to help me build a lab with all the equipment I need."

Joel smiled and affectionately scratched his head. "Okay."

"And," Du Yunhao continued happily, "an unlimited supply of everything the laboratory needs."

"no problem."

“Great!” Du Yunhao stretched out his hand. “Deal!” He and Joel clapped their hands together, then crossed them and clapped them together again, and finally clapped their hands together once more. Then he pretended to zip up his zipper.

“You are… interesting.” Princess Chris smiled, pursing her lips.

“Interesting?” Joel shook his head and smiled wryly.

Du Yunhao stood up. "You adults are talking, I, the kid, should go eat over there!"

“If you’re a child, then I’m a baby!” Joel muttered.

"Huh?" Princess Chris didn't hear what he said clearly.

“It’s nothing,” Joel said helplessly. “That kid likes to play pranks on people for no reason, and even I, his dad, am not exempt.”

Princess Chris couldn't help but laugh again. "I'm sorry!"

“It’s okay,” Joel shrugged. “Anyway, he’s messed with every male member of the Rox family except the women, it’s not just me.”

"It's obvious that you dote on him."

"He's my son." Joel paused for a moment, then added, "Perhaps I also want to give him what I've owed him for the past ten years."

“I think…” she struggled, “you love her more!” She had to say it to put her mind at ease.

“Yes, I love her more.” Joel looked directly into her eyes. “If I lose her again, I will die, you understand? I can’t bear the pain of losing her again.”

Princess Chris gritted her teeth and endured the excruciating pain, but she could only accept reality. She was not a wicked woman and could not resort to despicable means to steal love. In fact, she could not. The man she loved was devoted to his little Eastern woman, and no other woman could enter his sight, let alone his heart.

“Is that so…” Princess Chris lowered her head and secretly wiped away her tears. “I think she must have been a very beautiful woman.”

“She is.” Joel’s smile was so gentle it seemed to drip with tenderness, and his azure eyes shone with happiness and contentment.

Princess Chris managed a weak, sorrowful smile.

Would you be willing to tell me about her?

Having just sent Princess Chris back home, Joel received a call from the credit card company, so he didn't dare to stop for a moment and immediately went to catch up with his runaway wife.

Although Australia is an agricultural country, after World War II, its industrialization reached a new level, its people were fully employed, and it quickly became one of the world's richest countries.

What makes Australia so appealing is that it not only has modern cities, but also vast wilderness and unique natural ecology. But what's most interesting is that its seasons are exactly the opposite of Taiwan's. So when Sisi and Yuanzhen arrived in Australia, it was the last month of summer—February.

Sisi originally planned to ride ostriches in Australia, but Yuan Ling dragged her to the Gold Coast to surf.

Jupiter Casino is a legal casino located within the Conrad Hotel and is one of the landmarks of the Gold Coast. Yuan Ling chose to stay at this hotel mainly because of its expensive prices and the entertainment within the casino. She believed that she could be more generous when spending other people's money, and she didn't believe that the credit card supplementary card of the president of the prestigious Seth Group would be maxed out by them.

Five thousand.

"Another five thousand?!" Sisi exclaimed. "Please, Lingling, there have been six or seven five thousand in less than a week, which is almost 1.5 million NT dollars!"

"So what?" Yuan Ling shrugged nonchalantly. "Your husband's got way too much money for him, he wouldn't care about a few million. Look..." She grabbed Sisi's hand. "Just your wedding ring... wow, it's worth millions!"

She flinched slightly. "Uh, I... I don't know, I only know that the whole set of jewelry is... is..."

Yuan Ling glanced sideways at the ground. "Hmm?"

"Over a hundred million US dollars..." Upon seeing Yuan Ling's jaw nearly dropped, Sisi quickly tried to defend herself. "I told him not to buy something so expensive, but he insisted. How can you blame me!"

Yuan Ling slowly lowered her chin, then looked Sisi up and down before turning to the chip exchange counter and yelling, "Change it to ten thousand!"

"bell…"

Yuan Ling's murderous gaze swept over, and Sisi quickly swallowed the words below, sighing resignedly. She unconsciously turned to look at the money trap area that gamblers were addicted to, but as soon as she turned around, she froze in shock.

Several pairs of equally shocked eyes were fixed on her: her father, mother, eldest sister, second sister, eldest brother, and two strange men who looked back and forth between them, seemingly not understanding what was happening.

Sisi swallowed hard several times before managing to squeeze out a few rough sighs.

"Dad, Mom."

"What are you doing here?" Du Tianhe blurted out. "Weren't you in Boston?"

"I……"

"Sisi, hurry, sign the autograph!"

"Oh, excuse me, please wait a moment."

As Sisi spoke, she hurriedly turned around to sign the bill. Yuan Ling, holding a pile of chips, turned around and was quite surprised to see the Du family. However, she only blinked a few times before she came to her senses. Then she glanced at Sisi and shrugged, saying, "I'm going to play by myself first. If you can't find me, just wait for me at the restaurant."

She left as soon as she finished speaking, without saying goodbye to the Du family or thinking that she needed to help Sisi. She didn't believe that anyone would dare to be rude to the wife of the president of the Seth Group.

Sisi turned around and saw the Du family staring at the huge, rare purple diamond wedding ring on her hand with strange looks, marveling at it. She raised her hand slightly, a little flustered, and then lowered it again.

"I, uh, I got married, I, uh, with Hao Hao's dad."

Du Tianhe was stunned for a moment, and Shen Ruyou immediately called out.
