The budget for this trip is a week-long itinerary, but excluding the time spent on the road, there isn’t much time left.
It’s An Wuyang’s first time traveling abroad, and it’s to the seaside and amusement parks, eating delicious food every day, so he’s developed the common problem of his age, not wanting to go home.
Huo Yunchuan… looked at the teenager squatting on the ground delaying time with a helpless expression, feeling completely at a loss!
“Wuyang?” Today when they went out, he still wore the spring rope, but now it’s already snapped into a straight line.
An Wuyang glanced at the still early time and lied with his eyes open, “My shoelaces are loose, I need to tie them.”
Huo Yunchuan clenched his fists, gritting his teeth to expose the truth, “…You’re wearing sandals.”
The teenager, exposed, just sat on the ground, “It’s still early, we’re going back tomorrow, why are you taking me back so early, just want to roll in bed sheets.”
Everyone knows that there are many Chinese tourists in foreign tourist attractions, and Chinese can be understood everywhere.
This embarrassment even extends overseas, how could CEO Huo endure it?
“You’re really smart, failing the gaokao would be a waste.” Huo Yunchuan walked over, lifting the stubborn teenager up and walking away.
[(in China) Gaokao is a test of a student’s academic skills, used for admission to colleges and universities.]
Failing the college entrance exam is An Wuyang’s pain: “…”
He sulked silently, then suddenly saw a white dolphin swimming past him and immediately exclaimed happily, “Dolphin, look!”
Huo Yunchuan silently glanced at his bruised arm, patiently explaining, “This kind of dolphin is called the Chinese white dolphin, it belongs to the dolphin family of whales, and it’s a national first-level protected animal.”
Say it in Chinese, say it in English, if the accent isn’t good, you get beaten up.
Because Huo Yunchuan explained so well, they were followed by a family with children, all smiling and tagging along.
The little girl and boy had quite good accents, even better than An Wuyang, who was piggybacking on his husband’s back.
When they reached the end of the tunnel, the children’s family asked them, “Thank you. Sorry to ask, but are you uncles and nephews or brothers?”
Huo Yunchuan: “…”
An Wuyang: “…”
Walking back to the hotel, the young man chuckled and teased while leaning on the older man’s shoulder, “Uncle…”
The cold and moody man, irritated, pinched the youthful buttocks of his lover and sneered, “Why don’t you call me dad.”
An Wuyang licked the man’s earlobe, “Dad.”
“…” Veins popped on Huo Yunchuan’s forehead as he sweated, and he quickened his pace. When they reached a secluded spot, he pulled the person off his back and pressed him against the wall.
The rough kiss came as expected, more severe than An Wuyang had imagined… He began to regret everything he had just done.
“Yunchuan…” The young man pleaded tearfully, futilely trying to push away with his untrained slender wrists.
He was really scared, fearing that the other might do something right there…
Luckily, they were in a public place, so it shouldn’t happen.
Silently kissing the young man who brought it upon himself, Huo Yunchuan pinched his face and warned in a low voice, “When you’re out, stop teasing me.”
That day was just an appetizer; if this person’s stamina could keep up, he would definitely enjoy it thoroughly.
“Mmm…” An Wuyang nodded without hesitation.
Huo Yunchuan hoisted him back up and walked on the foreign roads.
Back at the hotel, some went to shower while others sorted out the things to take back tomorrow, mostly as gifts.
Rare trips abroad, according to An Wuyang’s simple thinking, meant giving souvenirs to family and friends, regardless of whether they were cheap or expensive.
“Have you prepared gifts for everyone?” Huo Yunchuan came out and asked lightly.
An Wuyang replied cheerfully, “Yes—Mom, Dad, Grandpa, everyone.” His own parents and siblings had gifts, but unfortunately, his sister was abroad, so he would have to wait for her to return.
The handsome and tall man crouched down, pointing at his own face and asked, “What about mine?”
Everyone was on the trip together, and An Wuyang was shocked and confused to find out that they had to give gifts—especially since the gifts he had packed were bought with his own money, and they were cheap!
“Well…” After a minute of intense internal struggle, An Wuyang handed him a keychain. “I originally wanted to keep this for myself, but here you go.”
Huo Yunchuan: “…”
“Don’t like keychains? Then I’ll give you a kiss.” An Wuyang wasn’t particularly dumb; he was good at reading people’s expressions. Sensing something was off, he immediately offered his own lips, touching Huo Yunchuan’s slightly stubbled and sexy chin.
The man, already on the edge of exploding, immediately grasped his jaw and drove straight into the slightly parted lips.
The small gifts bought at the scenic area were scattered on the expensive carpet of the hotel, unnoticed by anyone.
The only person who cared about them was sobbing helplessly, using the fragile voice that had never fully healed.
“You can sleep all day tomorrow.” This sentence sounded like a chill in An Wuyang’s ears.
This reaction also irritated Huo Yunchuan a lot. He really wanted to know, “When we were intimate, did you really not feel anything?”
While he felt like he was about to explode every second.
A grown man, married with children, was actually fixating on such a childish and superficial question as whether he was loved or not.
“What?” An Wuyang asked listlessly, clearly having lost his ability to understand the situation at this stage.
Huo Yunchuan frowned and said, “Forget it, I asked for too much.”
Just thinking about his own situation at nineteen made it clear how unrealistic it was for a thirty-year-old man to expect a nineteen-year-old youth to talk about love with him.
Finally, everything came to an end…
An Wuyang felt like he had… reclaimed his life.
Quietly settling down with the blanket beside him, Huo Yunchuan’s words echoed in his ears. Did he really not feel anything?
How could that be possible? It hurts.
After a simple shower, Huo Yunchuan, as usual, used a warm towel to wipe down the half-dead youth.
Then he went to bed, ready for the flight the next day.
This time, An Wuyang placed a cushion on top of the luggage and sat on it, letting Huo Yunchuan slide him along.
After eight hours on the plane and an hour of private car transfer, when they arrived back at the Huo residence, An Wuyang, dragging his tired body, happily ran up to the third floor. “Dundun—Dad’s back!”
The Huo family watched him run up with smiles, and they asked Huo Yunchuan, “Did you have fun going out with Yangyang?”
Huo Yunchuan replied, “It was very nice.” Then he took out the gifts An Wuyang had bought for everyone. “These are from Yangyang, bought with his own pocket money. Don’t feel obligated to accept them.”
“Who says we’d ever refuse?” The mother-in-law was thrilled with the gifts, bought by her son-in-law with his own money!
But something seemed off with their son.
“Well, I’ll go check on Dundun.” Huo Yunchuan followed Wuyang, who had swiftly disappeared upstairs.
In the nursery, An Wuyang cuddled with Dundun for a while, deeply missing the scent of milk on his son.
“Good boy, Dundun, Daddy really misses you. Do you miss Daddy?” He pecked Dundun’s face several times, reluctant to let go.
But when he saw Huo Yunchuan appear, he greeted him with a smile, “Yunchuan, do you want to hold him?”
“Of course.” Huo Yunchuan walked over, skillfully lifting his son and beginning to inquire about Dundun’s daily life from Aunt Zhang.
An Wuyang listened carefully on the side, trying to remember everything.
Feeling extremely exhausted, he went back to rest after seeing Dundun.
On the contrary, Huo Yunchuan, unlike his leisurely self, was busier than during the vacation after coming back. He was still out handling things past five in the afternoon.
There should be a lot of piled-up work from the week.
An Wuyang had thought about calling to remind him to drink less alcohol during social events, but then he thought, with all the bridges Huo Yunchuan had crossed, how could he not know these common sense things?
When he woke up and Huo Yunchuan still hadn’t returned, he stayed in the nursery with Dundun after having dinner with the family.
“Ah… yayaya…”
The two-month-old baby had already started making babbling sounds.
As a dad, seeing this scene made him feel extremely happy.
An Wuyang: “Hmm, I know you want to talk, but not now.”
Dundun from the Huo family: “Yayaya?”
With his bright and shining eyes, when he tilted his head to look at people, he was just too cute!
“You’re so cute,” An Wuyang held his son without letting go.
He was quickly reprimanded by Aunt Zhang, “Wuyang, Dundun is about to sleep, you can’t keep bothering him, you’ll disrupt his biological clock.”
“Ah, I’ll chat with him a bit longer,” An Wuyang said, checking the time in surprise and realizing it was already past ten.
However, the man who had gone out was still not back home.
He put down Dundun and returned to the bedroom, directly dialing a call.
At this moment, Huo Yunchuan was attending a dinner with the Season Bright Group, socializing with a table of investors.
The phone rang, he glanced at it and said, “Sorry, I need to take this call.”
The continuous schedule was indeed a bit exhausting, but it wasn’t the reason why Huo Yunchuan didn’t go out to answer the call. He had his own purpose: “Hello, Wuyang?”
The eyes of Season Bright’s Mingjie immediately looked over, teasingly wiggling his eyebrows, “Trouble?”
An Wuyang answered the call, and in a low voice asked, “Haven’t you finished your work yet?”
Huo Yunchuan, who managed millions of people’s affairs, paused on the hotel chair, then got up and went out to answer, “I almost finished, I’ll be back soon.”
An Wuyang: “It’s empty in the house. Aunt Zhang kicked me out of the nursery, my parents went to a party, and Grandpa fell asleep…”
Huo Yunchuan: “Alright, alright. I’m coming back.”
After managing to hang up the phone, he returned to the private room, pushed his chair under the table, and greeted, “I’m sorry, everyone. There’s something urgent at home, so I have to leave now. If anyone is interested in cooperation, feel free to come to the Huo’s and talk to me.”
After saying this, he glanced in the direction of his childhood friend, who indeed wore a smug expression.
“You should also go back early.”
Huo Yunchuan said, then swiftly left the private room like a gust of wind to retrieve his car.
Ji Mingjie helped smooth things over for his childhood friend, saying, “Oh well, this is how it is after getting married and having kids. Please forgive him, forgive him.” He had a playful personality and was good at livening up the atmosphere.
—Are you really coming back right away? Then be careful when driving, did you drink? If you did, you shouldn’t drive. I have to remind you.
“…” Huo Yunchuan realized for the first time that the little angel was so nagging.
But what did it mean when he was urged to return home eagerly after just a few hours of leaving?
