"Lan Baobao," excitedly said, "Zi Xun, let's not go to the island anymore, let's go to Egypt! Gu Feng is going there!"
"Egypt?" Ye Zixun had never liked rundown places, and he certainly didn't like troublesome ones. If they were going to Egypt, he would need to bring a medical team.
Ye Zixun impatiently replied, "If Gu Feng wants to go to Egypt to get sunburned into a mummy, that's his business; it has nothing to do with us."
"But he's always wanted to go to Egypt..." Lan Baobao pouted, looking aggrieved. "Mumu and Ruo Ruo must want to go to Egypt too; Brother Mu is really interested in the pyramids."
Ye Zixun truly wished he had never met Gu Feng so that he could beat him up without any regard for their friendship. Looking at Gu Feng's smiling face, Ye Zixun felt a sense of internal injury for the first time. The instigator of all this was smiling innocently, looking at him with a flattering gaze.
"Honey... let's go to Egypt..." Although he knew she was buttering him up, hearing her call him "honey" in front of Gu Feng still made Ye Zixun feel pleased. At least it proved that Lan Baobao and Gu Feng were like a prince in love while the goddess was indifferent.
"We'll discuss it when we get back; we are 'family' after all," Ye Zixun emphasized his position while warning Gu Feng that Lan Baobao was already his person and he should not have any ideas about her.
Gu Feng looked at Ye Zixun with a smile in his eyes; he was truly an easily angered man with a bit of a childish temper.
Ye Zixun put Lan Baobao's bike into his car, pulled her close, and gave her a forceful kiss on the forehead. He took his bicycle out of the trunk and placed it on the nearby open space before turning to Gu Feng. "Gu Feng, since you brought your bike, I'll give you my silly one too. With two bikes, I believe you can get back on your own, so I won't see you off. Goodbye." With that, he drove away.
Gu Feng watched the departing car grow smaller in the distance, his expression gradually turning cold. He took out his phone and made a call. Once connected, he said, "Egypt, confirmed. Go get your passport."
Looking in the direction where the car had disappeared, Gu Feng softly said, "Lan Baobao, don't be afraid; I will protect you just like you protected me back then. I will never let anyone hurt you."
After returning to the villa, Ye Zixun coldly threw her onto the sofa. In silence, he resembled a monster sleeping before a storm.
"Shall we order something?" Lan Baobao couldn't stand the silence anymore. Ye Zixun poured himself a glass of red wine and sat beside her.
He pulled her hand into his embrace; she hadn't showered yet and felt sticky. It was bearable at first, but once the air conditioning hit her, she couldn't help but sneeze. Looking up, she saw Ye Zixun's brows furrowed tightly.
What a pity for the red wine from the vineyard; it had been tainted by her sneeze.
Ye Zixun put down his wine glass and disdainfully wiped his hands with a napkin. "Egypt? Lan Baobao, are you trying to get yourself killed? I want to go to the island; you insist on going to Egypt—are you opposing me?"
"No, Gu Feng talked with Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo, and they all want to go to Egypt. I think..."
Before the sentence was finished, Ye Zixun's hand had already reached over.
"Um... what are you doing?"
He smiled slightly...
"Ow!" Lan Baobao twisted her waist and weakly exclaimed, "Don't do that, it hurts! It really hurts!"
"Hurts?" He smirked, "Still pretending after such a long time? I think it should feel good, right?"
Feel good? What nonsense! With that hard pinch, who could feel good?
Lan Baobao glared at Ye Zixun and said angrily, "It really hurts! Can you please be gentler? You really have a lot of strength! My body is almost covered in bruises."
Ye Zixun wrapped his arms around her waist and let her sit on his lap.
"You... you won't do it again, will you..."
"And you?"
After the sweat on her body was dried by the air conditioning, there was a strange fragrance, and her skin felt oddly comfortable. Lan Baobao squirmed, and Ye Zixun exhaled softly on her neck.
"Lan Baobao, I see you can't wait any longer. Why don't we start now?"
"No..."
Resisting in front of this man was utterly futile.
She had always been oppressed and had never turned the tables.
Ye Zixun smiled and said, "You stubborn fool, do you need me to teach you a lesson before you listen?"
"No... no, I promised to go on a trip with you, didn't I?"
"But what's this about Egypt? Are you trying to argue with me?"
Lan Baobao hurriedly shook her head, screaming, "Ah, it hurts a little! Don't do that..."
She was a living woman, not a stress relief doll that could be squeezed and used at will.
"I... I just heard that Mumu and Ruo Ruo really wanted to go there. Gu Feng has already arranged passports for the two kids to go to Egypt, so I thought..."
That guy Gu Feng really knows how to meddle.
After venting his frustration, Ye Zixun lay on the bed holding her for a while.
Lan Baobao gasped for breath. Ye Zixun got up and brought her a bottle of water. Just as she was about to thank him, she saw that he was holding two blue pills in his other hand and handed them over.
Lan Baobao glanced at them silently and obediently swallowed the pills. She stuck out her tongue for Ye Zixun to check, and after he nodded in satisfaction, Lan Baobao sighed, "I have to take medicine every time; it's really bad for my health. Why don't I just get an IUD? It would save a lot of trouble."
"That's not good."
"Then how about you wear..."
"Even worse."
He, Ye Zixun, would never wear that; it felt unreal.
Lan Baobao scooted closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder, and gently said, "Actually, going to Egypt isn't all bad. Gu Feng is letting Xiao Xiao and two nannies take Mumu and Ruo Ruo along; they can play with us without disturbing us at night!"
Gu Feng was indeed attentive; he was willing to handle the logistics just to please Lan Baobao. Those two nannies must have cost a pretty penny too; they might even be two beautiful women.
"Fool, do you really want to go to Egypt?"
"Yes, besides Egypt, my favorite place is Africa. I want to see the Great Migration of animals."
Are you an explorer or a zoologist, interested only in places where birds and beasts leave droppings everywhere?
Ye Zixun seemed to be in a good mood, having gotten some satisfaction. At this moment, he relaxed a bit and said, "Alright, since you want to go, then go ahead. But don't say I didn't warn you; the environment there is nothing like here. Prepare yourself mentally."
"Understood!"
Three days later, the group flew to Egypt. In first class, everyone was fast asleep except for Ye Zixun, who kept his eyes open watching over them.
Upon arriving in Egypt, he immediately geared up in cooling clothes, slathered sunscreen all over his body, and packed his backpack with medicine aside from money and essentials.
Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo decided to head to the Sphinx's residence. Before they even checked into their hotel, they rushed straight to the Sphinx's tourist area.
However...
Lan Baobao kept wiping sweat and drinking water; his stomach was empty, and he couldn't fit anything else in. He could only make room for more water.
After a long trek, it wasn't until they saw the Sphinx without its nose that Lan Baobao felt the resentment that had surrounded him since stepping onto Egyptian soil finally dissipate. Egypt was just too hot!
Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo were covered in thick sunscreen and fully geared up. Brother Mu usually acted mature but was still a child at heart; as long as there was something he found interesting, he ignored everything else and bounced toward the attractions. Lan Baobao could hardly hold him back.
Ye Zixun felt a bit schadenfreude: "Look at you, hot right? Following the kids around means your hot springs are gone, and so is your nightlife by the sea."
Lan Baobao lifted his chin: "It's fine! As long as Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo enjoy it! This is truly spectacular!"
Mumu turned around: "Dad, stop being so sour! It's just because we ran into Uncle Gu Feng. He arranged desert hot springs for us; you don't need to worry!"
"Desert hot springs? He arranged that?" Ye Zixun got angry. "You must be kidding! Tomorrow I'm taking you all to the Nile River and then to the desert. Just having an oasis here is already good enough; hot springs? That's nonsense! And do you think you'll get nosebleeds from drinking hot spring water in this heat?"
Lan Baobao was just like the two children, ignoring the frantic Ye Zixun, bleeding from her nose without a care. How many people could enjoy the luxury of soaking in a hot spring in the desert? That alone was enough to boast about!
She looked at the towering sculpture, silently contemplating.
Thinking back to when she encountered Gu Feng while jogging in the green space, he had secretly told her that Mu Jiao'er planned to cause a scene at Lan Baobao's wedding. He even got a doctor to prepare a fake DNA certificate and brought a doctor along to storm the castle.
However, before they could enter, they were stopped by Gu Feng's people. Mu Jiao'er screamed for Ye Zixun, and Gu Feng sent someone to pack them up and put them on a plane back home.
But the news she received was that Mu Jiao'er had been in close contact with Pan Xinzi, who also made an appearance at her wedding.
Mu Jiao'er even inquired about where Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao would go for their honeymoon.
Gu Feng had to keep an eye on these two, and Lan Baobao needed to be cautious of them as well.
This woman seemed to have no connection with Ye Zixun on the surface and pretended to reconcile with Lan Baobao in public. But in reality, she was like a beautiful poisonous mushroom—charming on the outside but cruel on the inside. Yet, Lan Baobao genuinely believed she wanted to be friends with her, even drinking together as if they had buried the hatchet. It was hard to tell what this woman named Mu was scheming behind the scenes. Nevertheless, she truly wanted to protect Lan Baobao, trying to distance her from that woman.
Since Mu Jiao'er knew they would choose the Maldives, it was certain that her associate Pan Xinzi would know as well. Given Pan Xinzi's character, he wouldn't let things go easily with Lan Baobao. Who knows what trouble might arise? Therefore, he deliberately guided Lan Baobao to choose Egypt as their honeymoon destination, which would thwart Mu Jiao'er and Pan Xinzi's plans.
