"Mom, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"No." Chu Xiaoge was brought back to her senses and reached out to pull Chuchu’s small body into her arms. "A Lan invited us to her house to play tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
"Yes! Chuchu wants to go!" Chuchu nodded, smiling happily.
Chu Xiaoge bent down to kiss Chuchu’s forehead, sighing again in her heart.
Ever since Chuchu reconnected with Shang Dongyuan, Chuchu’s smile had beco more frequent.
After all, blood is thicker than water.
...
The car was arranged by Shang Dongyuan, and the driver was instructed to take Chu Xiaoge and Chuchu directly to an outdoor hot spring resort.
The hot spring resort did not belong to Shang Group; it was privately operated by Shang Dongyuan.
It was convenient for him and his friends to co and discuss business, and also to attract more business partners.
Shang Dongyuan, as Xing Chen said, was indeed a complicated person.
He managed everything seamlessly.
Being born into a business family, he inherently knew how to run a business.
As Chu Xiaoge got out of the car with Chuchu and walked into the hot spring resort, her mood began to sour.
In contrast, Chuchu was excited from the mont she got out of the car, looking around with curiosity and holding onto Chu Xiaoge’s hand.
"Mom, are we going to take a hot spring bath too? There’s a swimming pool over there!" Chuchu couldn’t help but exclaim, pointing to a giant outdoor swimming pool on the left with her little hand.
"Maybe..." Chu Xiaoge wasn’t quite sure; she didn’t like playing in the water.
She had always been a landlubber as a child and never considered learning to swim as an adult. The night her parents kicked her out of the house, she got drenched in the rain, and the wet, sticky feeling made her uncomfortable.
Bathing was fine, but soaking in a pool felt like torture to her!
Knowing how painful it was to be a landlubber, Chu Xiaoge worked even harder to send Chuchu to swimming lessons once Chuchu got older.
Fortunately, Chuchu didn’t inherit Chu Xiaoge’s landlubber genes. She picked up swimming quickly, and even the coach praised her for her talent.
Chu Xiaoge later thought, maybe she got her good genes from her father...
Just as she was thinking this, she heard a splash from the nearby pool.
Before Chu Xiaoge could turn around to see, her daughter excitedly shouted, "Mom, look! It’s Dad!"
Chu Xiaoge followed the sound and indeed saw a figure swiftly moving in the water.
It wasn’t too clear, but Chu Xiaoge could tell it was definitely Shang Dongyuan.
It didn’t take long for Shang Dongyuan to swim from one end to the other.
As he erged from the water, Chu Xiaoge felt her face flush.
She knew he had an excellent physique.
His skin was a healthy tan, lean but muscular, not like those bulky professional athletes, but equally strong, which made her feel safe in his arms.
Thinking about this, Chu Xiaoge shook her head, barely believing how much she had just thought about...
Shang Dongyuan, who had just co out of the water, waved at Chuchu and Chu Xiaoge through the glass, then grabbed a towel from a waiter’s hand, covering himself as he walked to the side to rest.
Chu Xiaoge took Chuchu’s hand and walked over, realizing that Shang Dongyuan had at least eight people serving him...
