Chapter 1280: Chapter 856: Grand Finale: Heart for Heart
Once everything was packed, Su Xiaomeng brought the bathroom scale out and placed it in front of Yin Shixiu, “Take off your shoes and weigh yourself.”
“…”
Yin Shixiu sighed, knowing he had no room or right to say “No.”
Xiao Meng snapped a photo of the weight with her phone for record-keeping and said to Yin Shixiu, “Here’s the deal! Lose one pound, and you get to rest at home for a week; two pounds means two weeks!”
“Got it.”
Yin Shixiu said as he pulled the all-serious Su Xiaomeng into his arms, “With the things you packed, there’s more than enough for me to eat.”
“I’m telling you, no matter how busy you get, you have to eat! Your body isn’t like it used to be!”
“Got it, got it.”
Yin Shixiu quickly replied.
As the suitcase was closed, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang woke up from their nap and came looking for Dad, “What time is the flight?”
“Seven thirty.”
“Dad, do you want me to go with you? With me there, you definitely won’t be lonely.” Shuangshuang sat beside Yin Shixiu, grinning.
“If you go with me, won’t Mom and your brother feel lonely?”
“Oh, that’s true… This really is a tough choice!” Shuangshuang pondered, stroking her chin.
Prince Huang rolled his eyes, “Thinking too highly of yourself, aren’t you…”
Shuangshuang suddenly perked up and glanced at Prince Huang, “Brother, do you know what this is called?”
“…”
“This is called jealousy, jealous that Dad and Mom both need me.”
“…”
Yin Huaiyu looked around, truly unable to accept Shuangshuang’s shameless attitude.
“I think Shuang’er just doesn’t want to go to school,” Su Xiaomeng raised an eyebrow, glancing at Shuangshuang.
Shuangshuang quickly widened her eyes and looked at Su Xiaomeng,
“Shh… Mom, life is hard enough without tearing people down!”
“Pfft… Using ‘life is hard enough without tearing people down’ now, are we?”
Shuangshuang laughed proudly.
Yin Shixiu patted Shuangshuang’s head, “Anyway, as long as Shuang’er is home with your Mom and brother, I can focus on work with no worries!”
“Dad, don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on my brother for you and make sure he doesn’t get into trouble!”
“…”
After saying that, Yin Shixiu was at a loss for words; wasn’t the one who’s often causing trouble this little girl herself?
“By the way, Dad, will you be back by Christmas?”
Shuangshuang asked.
Yin Shixiu calculated the time and said to Shuangshuang, “If I can’t make it back by Christmas, I’ll definitely be back by New Year’s. Dad has to be with you to welcome the New Year.”
“Oh… okay!”
Shuangshuang replied.
Yin Shixiu looked at Prince Huang, “I hear Mr. Zhou is taking you to Paris?”
“…Mm.”
Yin Huaiyu nodded.
“Do you want to go?”
“…Mm, I do.”
“Oh, he definitely wants to go. Matthew Moore is performing too,” Su Xiaomeng said, revealing Yin Huaiyu’s little secret.
Yin Huaiyu’s ears turned red, but he didn’t try to hide it anymore.
“Huaiyu, make sure to listen to Mr. Zhou. When going abroad, it’s even more important to be obedient. I know you’re smart and clever, but when it’s time to listen to your elders, listen to them. Don’t cause trouble for Mr. Zhou.”
“…I know, Dad.”
“I’m just saying it once. I’m always confident in you, Dad trusts you very much.”
Yin Shixiu checked the time, “It’s about time.”
The driver was already waiting at Jun Garden, and Xiao Meng joined him to send Yin Shixiu to the airport.
No topic was brought up again during the journey to the airport, but as they arrived, Yin Shixiu spoke, “Honestly, I’m really not too confident about you this time.”
“Huh?”
Su Xiaomeng was taken aback.
“Your knack for attracting romantic interest is truly too strong.”
With that, Su Xiaomeng understood; he still hadn’t gotten over last night when Xiao Yan dropped her off.
Taking a deep breath,
“Xiao Yan has a fiancé! Regardless, Xiao Anhe and we have known each other for a long time, right?”
“I think the one I should be worrying about isn’t Xiao Yan.”
“Huh?”
“From what you said last night, I really am a bit concerned about Xiao Yan’s son.”
“…Pfft, such a small child… you consider him a rival in love?”
Yin Shixiu stroked his chin, “If you think about it, that kid’s tactics are much higher than your average rival in love.”
“Come on, don’t be such a conspiracy theorist, he’s just a kid.”
Su Xiaomeng glanced at him, speechless, Yin Shixiu also found it amusing himself. He wrapped her in his arms,
“Alright, just joking with you…”
“While you’re on this business trip, take good care of yourself.”
“I’ll call you every day.”
“Don’t go catching feelings for American girls.”
“If any trouble comes up, tell me immediately.”
