Chapter 516: Chapter 516

"Grandpa, I want to take Chuanqi and Hunter abroad to clear my mind and broaden their horizons," Wan Chu’er carefully chose her words and slowly spoke her intentions.

Old Sir Zhong stopped his movements, looked up steadily at Wan Chu’er, and after a while, asked, "What happened? Did something go wrong?"

Being as shrewd as he was, he could immediately detect his granddaughter’s unusual demeanor. Although she tried to maintain her composure, her microexpressions couldn’t escape the old man’s sharp eyes.

Wan Chu’er’s heart soured, she turned her head away and looked towards the ivy on the wall.

"I don’t want to see Jiang Kechu anymore; I want to leave for a while so that both of us can calm down," she said, still suppressing her emotions.

Hearing this, the old man frowned, walked under the big tree to the stone table and took a sip from the teapot.

"Did you get wronged?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⟡fire.net

"No, it’s not that. I don’t want to wrong myself; that’s why I want to go out and wander for a bit."

Old Sir Zhong "Hmm"ed, squinted his eyes towards the distance, and after a long while, said, "That’s fine. If you want to go out, then go and wander, but take Xiao Yu with you and let her broaden her horizons too."

It was already set in stone that Mao Xiaoyu would become a major housekeeper-like figure in the old house in the future. Taking the opportunity to go out would also be good for enhancing and broadening her perspective.

Furthermore, even though Wan Chu’er is capable, managing two kids alone always has its challenges; having an extra adult to help would make the family feel more at ease.

Wan Chu’er quickly understood the old man’s intentions and nodded in agreement.

Li Shan had previously arranged Mao Xiaoyu’s passport, making going out relatively convenient, and obtaining a visa was an even simpler task.

When Li Shan and Mao Xiaoyu heard about this, they were both stunned. Li Shan, with a stern face, was displeased with the idea of Xiao Yu leaving, but since the old man had decided, he could only agree. After some thought, he grudgingly went to his room and brought out a bank card for Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu, excited, stared dumbfounded at Li Shan as he handed her a bank card.

"This is a world bank card with world currency in it, feel free to use it."

She blinked, finally realizing what was happening — she was going to travel the world with Wan Chu’er, something she had never even dared dream about.

Her next thought was to quickly call her elder brother to share the good news but, Old Sir Zhong had already said they would set off after breakfast. There was so much to do and so much to prepare; she hardly had time to make a call.

Mao Xiaoyu hurriedly ate a few bites of her meal, declared she was full, and immediately ran to her room to pack her luggage.

Ah, it was her first time going abroad; what should she bring? Seeing Wan Chu’er’s expression, it wasn’t even certain where their first stop would be, or how many clothes she should pack.

She also needed to pack quite a few things for the twins.

Li Shan, noticing that Mao Xiaoyu wouldn’t even spare him a glance, pouted and hummed, but ultimately, being unable to let his worries go, he followed her. After all, he had experience traveling abroad and preferred not to leave Xiao Yu scrambling in panic.

Before even entering the room, he heard Mao Xiaoyu anxiously muttering and hesitating over what to bring.

"Just bring your documents and that bank card you just received, and buy anything else you need out there," Li Shan immediately voiced a solution.

This only provoked a bit of coquettish grumbling from Mao Xiaoyu, "That’s too wasteful." Although she had handled quite a lot of money these past two years, her thrifty habits still lingered.

After breakfast, Wan Chu’er packed the luggage for the twins and said to them, "Mommy and Aunt Xiao Yu will take you to ride on an airplane, is that okay?"

As soon as they heard about taking an airplane, the two little ones became excited.

"Oh, I’m going to ride on a big airplane," Chuanqi immediately clapped his hands.

"Mom, is it the kind of big airplane that can fly up to the sky?" Hunter cautiously asked first.

Patiently, Wan Chu’er said, "Yes, the airplane can fly up into the sky, and you can see lots of clouds."

Chuanqi, smiling, asked, "Then, is Daddy going too?"

Wan Chu’er felt disheartened, gritted her teeth and said, "Daddy has other things to do, he’s not going this time."

The two children felt a slight disappointment, but since Daddy was always busy and seldom seen, they took it as usual that Daddy had to work and didn’t dwell on this issue.

Li Shan drove them to the airport, and on the way, Wan Chu’er booked the next flight to the Middle East directly online, as that country allowed visa on arrival for China, while Li Shan needed to help with the visas for other places from home.

Mao Xiaoyu still felt excited, showing no signs of feeling sad about parting with Li Shan, instead, she laughingly spoke to the kids.

"Chuanqi, Hunter, the place we are going to has a big desert; we can ride camels and experience the desert scenery..."

Li Shan was gloomily saying to Wan Chu’er, "You have to take good care of Xiao Yu. It’s her first time going this far from home, she shouldn’t lose or gain weight. She always thinks about others first, and if it’s inconvenient, she tends to bear it. You have to be attentive and not let her suffer any grievances. In a foreign land where no one is familiar, don’t leave her alone. She’d be scared, and those stinky foreigners are no good people, you must not let them run into Xiao Yu..."

He kept babbling all the way, making Wan Chu’er feel dizzy and somewhat diverted from her heartbreak caused by Jiang Kechu.

When they arrived at the airport, fearing Li Shan would ramble on again, Wan Chu’er hurriedly led one big and two small through the security check and into the VIP lounge early.

Curiously, Mao Xiaoyu asked, "Sister-in-law, aren’t you going to call Brother Jiang?"

Wan Chu’er responded indifferently, "My phone is out of battery. We’ll talk when we arrive." In fact, she had already turned her phone off long ago, blocking out feeling irritated. She didn’t want Jiang Kechu to contact her, which is why she chose the next available flight without caring much about the destination.

After waiting a bit longer, it was time for them to board.

Wan Chu’er felt emotionally complex. Knowing it was a vain hope, she still looked back for a while, saw nothing, and then resolutely led her children to the boarding gate.

On the other hand, Jiang Kechu struggled to send Wei Feng back to the Wei Family’s house.

By the time he left, he realized his phone was left in Wei Feng’s bag. After thinking it over, he didn’t go back to get it, as firstly, Wei Feng was drunk and he didn’t want to drag on with Wei Feng anymore, and secondly, the looks from the Wei Family were not friendly.

Thinking of the alcohol on himself, he directly went to rest at Jinse Garden.

The next day, not until noon did he ask Chen Ke to get his phone back from Wei Feng. Upon turning it on, he saw the text message from Wan Chu’er from last night.

Jiang Kechu momentarily felt a chill, if Chuchu knew he had met Wei Feng last night, it really could be a big trouble.

After calming himself down, he dialed Wan Chu’er’s number, but upon connecting, a mechanical female voice announced, "The phone number you have dialed is switched off."
