Chapter 245 - A Sneak Kiss
Chapter 245 – A Sneak Kiss
The day for their amusement park trip arrived in no time. Siying was so excited that he was hopping and jumping in the car the whole time. He was the first one to step out too who headed straight for the park.
Xinyi said, "Siying, don't run too far! Wait for us."
Siying whined as he kept shifting his weight from one foot to another in impatience. "Mama, Dada. You are slow! Rides! There is Mickey Mouse too!"
Zhiyuan chuckled. "Mickey mouse isn't running away anywhere, Siying."
His lips puckered into a pout.
As they stepped into the park, a familiar face greeted them.
"Han Zhiyuan!"
They were surprised to see Mu Chuanli, CEO of Mu Constructions.
Zhiyuan smiled. "Mr. Mu."
Xinyi nodded.
"Haha! How are you my boy? I came to know that you have booked tickets today to visit the park! So, I thought of personally visiting you. I have even upgraded your tickets for VIP treatment."
He sighed. "We are okay with the normal tickets too. You are spoiling us."
Xinyi quickly said, "Yes, yes. We just came to enjoy the park like everyone else. We don't want any special treatment."
Mu Chuanli pouted. "What? Do you really want to stand in long queues and tire yourselves out? The park is really huge. Let's do this! If not VIP, then you have to accept premium tickets at least! I won't accept a no for that!"
Zhiyuan chuckled in helplessness. "We will take it up then."
He beamed. "Yes, that's what we are talking about! Come, come, let me show you my park! You will have a great time here hoho!"
As they walked, Zhiyuan slightly shifted to Mu Chuanli's side and whispered. "Mr. Mu. This is not just a family trip but a date for Xinyi and me too. Any recommendations for romantic attractions for Xinyi and me to enjoy?" He shamelessly asked.
Mu Chuanli brightened. "Oh! Oh!" He whispered. "A date with your wife, huh? That's even more awesome! There are lots of things you can do. You can buy couple shirts and accessories. There is a horror house too! Is she afraid of ghosts?"
"She is definitely not a fan of them," he chuckled.
He grinned. "Then it's a perfect chance for you to get closer. The horror house here is the scariest one that we have designed," he proudly said. "And then there is The Tunnel of Love Trope too!"
"What is that?"
"It's a slow and romantic water ride that you two can enjoy. Perfect for *ahem* a little making out," he coughed, "It's the most intimate place in this park for couples."
Zhiyuan curiously touched his chin and imagined his time with Xinyi there.
"And then, of course, you cannot forget the Ferris wheel! Sitting together in a round, enclosed box and then the kissing ritual when it reaches to the top."
Zhiyuan slyly smiled. "Of course, I cannot miss that."
Xinyi felt a chill run down her spine for some reason. She looked at Zhiyuan and narrowed her eyes.
What is he whispering so much?
"Mama! Look!" Siying eagerly pointed at the front.
There were two scouts wearing Mickey Mouse and Scooby-Doo costumes, carrying balloons in their arms. A bunch of other children gathered around them and needless to say, Siying didn't fall back either.
Mickey Mouse gave him a cute violet balloon and patted his head. Scooby Doo gave him a lollipop. Siying beamed and showed the balloon to his parents. "Mama, Dada! I got a balloon! And a lollipop too!"
Xinyi giggled. "Yup, yup! Take care of it, okay?"
"En!"
Zhiyuan observed how the other parents were clicking lots of photos with their children standing with the scouts. He grinned.
"Siying, don't you want to click photos with your favorite Mickey Mouse and Scooby Doo?"
He brightened. "En! Pictures!"
"Let's do it then."
First, he took Siying's individual pictures with the scouts. Then he glanced at Xinyi. "Of course, we have to take family pictures too, right Xinyi? This is a FAMILY TRIP after all, isn't it?" He smiled.
Xinyi suspiciously looked at him. "E-En…"
Mu Chuanli giggled. He whispered something into the photographer's ear to which he nodded.
As the three stood together, the photographer said, "Mrs. Han You are standing too far. Come a little closer."
Xinyi furrowed her brows.
Isn't it just fine though?
Zhiyuan pursed his lips to hold back his smile. Xinyi took one step.
Zhiyuan frowned. "Still so far. People will think that we are strangers."
The photographer furiously nodded. "Yes, yes! Stand even closer!"
Xinyi cleared her throat and shifted a bit more.
The photographer sighed. "Still not right…"
Her mouth twitched. Siying raised his head and pouted. "Photo!"
A cunning glint flashed in his eyes. Zhiyuan wrapped his arms around her waist and swiftly pressed them together, all cozy and tight."
Xinyi froze.
"Y-You…Too close!"
"What do you mean? It's just right."
The photographer beamed. "Yes! This is what I was talking about!"
"…"
The photographer clicked lots of pictures and said, "Okay, now hold in your other arm, Mr. Han."
He nodded. He picked Siying and gently squeezed her waist, making Xinyi jolt. She whispered. "What are you doing, Zhiyuan?"
"Holding my wife. Anything wrong with that?" He smiled. "Shouldn't the husband and wife be close in family pictures? I am just doing what you want."
"You!"
Turning my words against me!
They clicked some pictures and then the photographer said, "Let's have some pictures of just the couple."
Xinyi coughed. "No need-"
"Of course!" Zhiyuan drowned her no instantly. "Just what I was waiting for."
"!!!"
"Siying. Stand at a side, dear. Mama and Dada have to click some lovey-dovey photos."
"En!"
Xinyi – "…"
Zhiyuan pulled her towards him and Xinyi couldn't help but say, "Zhiyuan, we are already too close."
"I need to make sure that you don't run away. You will definitely escape if I loosen up my hold~"
Her brow twitched.
"Okay! I am taking the picture now."
Xinyi tried to smile the best she could. Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes and as soon the photographer was about to click the picture, Zhiyuan leaned and pecked her cheek.
*Click!*
