Chapter 981: Chapter 44: Brilliant Sparks, Only Deep Love Is Not to Be Betrayed

"Then I’ll go check it out, and you wait for me here for a while?" Gu Zixi smiled.

Yu Xi nodded, but as soon as Gu Zixi left, he didn’t wait even half a minute.

He immediately turned around and walked to the back of a bush where no one was, panting heavily.

After a few more seconds, he headed to the restroom, never looking back during the whole process.

...

In the morning, they wandered around in such a "pleasant" way.

By noon, naturally, they went to a different developed open yard area and spread out a tablecloth, food, and held a picnic in the warm winter sun.

Such arrangements... If it were the adults, they would prefer to eat at a proper table, but when accommodating children, some things just go with the kids’ moods...

The director of the botanical garden seemed to find this arrangement somewhat inappropriate too. Upon hearing that Yu Yuanshen was here, he immediately brought a few vice directors to warmly welcome him.

So, although they said it would be a picnic, with the barbecue grill, European-style tables and chairs, French red wine, fruits, and fresh flowers prepared meticulously, it looked just like a royal feast.

Yu Yuanshen was quite helpless, but knowing the botanical garden director recently needed his help, and being quite familiar with him, he wasn’t too reserved.

Smiling, everyone ate lunch together happily.

The afternoon sun was just right, and once finished, the botanical garden director suggested playing golf together. Yu Yuanshen nodded, called out to Gu Zixi, and brought him along.

The completely upscale private botanical garden covered thousands of acres of green hillside.

White clouds drifted leisurely, and the scenery was picturesque.

With golf added to the mix, the winter outing on this day was truly delightful.

But... the seating area...

Mr. Yu and Yu’s mother were getting older and didn’t want to move much. Feng Yuning was pregnant and ordered not to move much in the first three months, so she couldn’t move around either.

However, Yu Xi was a complete departure from his usual boasting self, sitting firmly in the chair today, watching Pitt play "King of Pesticides" on his phone, insistent on not participating in the high-energy interactions.

When Feng Yuning drank the first cup of juice, Yu Xi didn’t move.

When Feng Yuning drank the second cup of juice, Yu Xi still didn’t move.

Feng Yuning went to the restroom three times, noticing that those playing golf had been at it for nearly two hours, yet Yu Xi still hadn’t moved.

After a pause, Feng Yuning furrowed her brows and finally couldn’t help but ask, "Yu Xi, are you cultivating immortality today? Aren’t you usually the one who loves outdoor activities the most?"

You know it’s usually!

Yu Xi thought resentfully at the bottom of his heart, took a deep breath, and muttered, "I’ve had diarrhea these past few days, feeling unwell, don’t want to move..."

Upon hearing this news, Feng Yuning rolled her eyes disdainfully, "Such a hypochondriac, you’re becoming more and more like a little girl!"

Yu Xi’s face darkened but ultimately didn’t retort, changing his gaze to watch Pitt leading Arthur in a one-on-five team fight, getting scolded by his whole team, and reported. His expression remained calm.

This unusual silence became increasingly peculiar to Feng Yuning.

Moving closer, Feng Yuning contemplated for a while and said, "Yu Xi, you wouldn’t really have a crush on Uncle and be afraid of staying with him, would you?"

Feng Yuning, being a millennial, had received entirely modern education and often thought in slightly unconventional ways.

But this remark completely touched the most sensitive nerve in Yu Xi’s heart.

He shouted out, "How could that be! Feng Yuning! Haven’t you given birth yet, and you’re entering menopause early! Guessing this and that all day, are your hormones out of balance?!"

Feng Yuning was infuriated, her face turning green and red.

Especially since Yu Xi’s voice was loud enough for everyone on the golf course to hear!

Embarrassment struck, and within minutes, this pair of siblings erupted into their routine — the older sister beating up the younger brother episodes.

Pulling Yu Xi’s ear, dragging him under the tree.

Yu Xi looked extremely embarrassed, lacking any macho demeanor, yet not daring to retaliate.

After all, wasn’t his sister pregnant?

After five minutes of fussing, the siblings returned from behind the tree.

Yu Xi sat back on the bench, unwilling to speak.

Feng Yuning, gritting her teeth in anger, waited for the right moment to make sure no one was around before planning to give Yu Xi another beating without ruining her lady-like image!

The situation was quite awkward, but this atmosphere soon dissipated.

Another burst of enthusiastic applause from the distance made Yu Xi and Feng Yuning look over.

It turned out that Yu Yuanshen made an eagle shot and got the ball in the hole!

Yu Yuanshen was handsome in the warm winter sun. He wore a light-colored suit today, typically light-colored suits don’t look good on average men, they seem greasy.

But Yu Yuanshen completely lacks this feeling, he exudes only seriousness, elegance, warm like jade, and only beige and sky blue casual suits perfectly match Yu Yuanshen’s aura.

Coupled with those attractive and charming features, after some years, the restraint and serenity settled in his gaze, Yu Yuanshen seemed like a deity bathing in the human world, settling in Feng Yuning’s heart.

Cradling her own equally pretty and delicate face, Feng Yuning gazed at Yu Yuanshen dreamily, trembling and saying, "He really is...so handsome..."

Meanwhile, Yu Xi, who hadn’t been keen to speak all day, also trembled and said, "Yeah, he really is so handsome..."

It’s just that —

Feng Yuning was looking at Yu Yuanshen, while Yu Xi was looking at Gu Zixi.

Though Yu Yuanshen’s shot had nothing to do with Gu Zixi, perhaps Gu Zixi admired Yu Yuanshen greatly, his eyes smiling like crescent moons, his handsome face basked in sunlight, golden rays spreading over his shoulders.

He stood tall and straight, his demeanor extraordinary.

Yu Xi glanced at him, truly seeing no other man but him.

Hence, his heart raced uncontrollably, his heart beating erratically, causing pain like stings, his... eyes moist...
