ALL NOVEL Chapter 222: Ge'er secret ( three days vacation)
"That is if you can," Xiao Bai said jokingly as she ran around the beach keeping a wide gap between her and Lie Ruge. But despite all of her efforts to run as far as she could away from Lie Ruge, Lie Ruge caught up with her in no time.
"Tan Fan, why didn't you bring your new girlfriend along with you? It would have been more fun if that blabbermouth of a girl was here today," Yun Yi asked curiously.
"Jiang Xue is filming a TV commercial right now, but she promised to join us later tonight for barbecue," Tan Fan said nonchalantly. As the guys walked around the beach, they often had to keep their eyes on the ladies so that they would not wander around too far.
"Great! But before she comes, warn her not to be so talkative in front of Yi Lan or she might never come to our gatherings ever again," Yun Yi advised Tan Fan. He made sure that Yi Lan did not overhear his remarks. Yi Lan who was ahead of them, did not pay attention to what the two guys were saying because all his attention was on his woman, who was running around the beach with Xiao Bai. The bright smile on her pretty face showcased that she was having so much fun.
"You guys are so slow! Can't you walk faster than that," Xiao Bai shouted loudly as she beckoned the guys to walk faster so that they could catch up with them. Lie Ruge and Xiao Bai raced towards their direction when it seemed as if the guys did not hear her words.
"Sweetheart, you have been talking with Tan Fan since we arrived at the beach, instead of playing with me. It isn't your fault that his new found love is not with him at the moment so let's go and play already," Xiao Bai said cutely as she dragged Yun Yi by the hand towards the water.
"Lanlan, why do you keep staring at me like that? It is a known fact that I am beautiful, so I'm sure that is not the reason you keep staring at me. Do I have something on my face," Lie Ruge asked inquiringly as she held Yi Lan by his waist.
"I'm just so happy that in one week, the love of my life will finally become my wife. I'm just so happy," Yi Lan caressed her face and continued to stare passionately into her eyes.
"I am happy too! So let's make sure to have a lot of fun on our three days trip alright," Lie Ruge said smiling as she planted a light kiss on his lips. Knowing very well what Yi Lan's next move will be, she quickly pulled away before he could grab her.
"Hahaha... I will let you do whatever you want if you can catch me," Lie Ruge said when they were quite a few distances apart. Then she took to her heels when Yi Lan started running towards her.
"Hey Mr Yi, is that all you've got,'' Lie Ruge shouted teasingly as she continued running.
"Hey Mrs Yi, I will be sure to punish you in a very sweet way when I get hold of you. So brace yourself ok," Yi Lan said breathing heavily as he ran towards her. He finally caught up to her after ten minutes of pursuing her. He carried her inside the water not minding that his trousers were going to get soaked.
"Lanlan, let go of me! Ok, I admit that I was wrong in teasing you. So please pardon wifey, pretty elder sister," Lie Ruge pleaded when she realized what Yi Lan was planning to do to her.
"Wow! My wifey is so submissive today. Don't worry. I will make sure to personally change your clothes when we get to the resort, okay? So that is to say that your punishment will not end with just immersing you into this water," Yi Lan smiled devilishly as he entered the water with her. He finally let go of her after seeing that she was totally wet. Yi Lan thought that it would just end there, so he released her from his strong grip. Lie Ruge started splashing water on him when he turned around to leave. Yi Lan turned around and splash the water on her too. They were playing in the water for what felt like forever before they called it quits. Yun Yi and Xiao Bai on the other side, were also playing in the water. They had so much fun playing and running around the beach. The only person who was very bored watching the two couples romantic play was Tan Fan. He had fun too but he was sometimes bored since he did not have anyone to play with. Yi Lan and the others left the beach to head to the resort after spending about three hours there.
The three day trip was a very memorable one for them. They enjoyed themselves to the max at the resort. One of the rules of this vacation was that none of them were allowed to make any calls related to work. Anyone who dared to do that was forced to do all the house chores without the assistance of any maids. Unfortunately for Jiang Xue, she received a call from her manager and she was forced to do all the house chores without any assistance from Tan Fan. Xiao Bai laughed her heart out when Jiang Xue burst into tears due to the workload she was asked to do.
"Jiang Xue, heed my warning don't you ever disobey Ge'er or Yi Lan's command again or you will always end up suffering whenever they are around," Xiao Bai told Jiang Xue this after she finished laughing at her.
On their final day in the resort, everyone wished that they would just stay in the resort forever. Lie Ruge's thoughts were interrupted when her cell phone rang. Lie Ruge could not help but smile when she saw who the caller was. This is the third time her mother-in-law has called to check up on her.
"Mum," Lie Ruge exclaimed when she picked up the call.
"Can you blame me? I'm just so eager to know how you are faring there," Madam Yi replied happily.
"Mum, Lanlan might really catch onto our secrets if you keep on calling me like this. I am very happy that you and dad have been checking up on my condition, but you know that we have to keep this a secret from Lanlan alright," Lie Ruge said meekly.
"Ok, so how is the baby doing? I hope you are taking very good care of yourself and my grandchild right?" Mrs Yi asked with a concerned tone. The moment Lie Ruge wanted to reply, she saw Yi Lan approaching the shade she was sitting down in. He was so close that he could hear her if she was to reply to her mother-in-law's question. At that very minute, an idea popped into her head.
"He is very fine. I am taking good care of him just like you instructed and we have already had our lunch," Lie Ruge said, smiling awkwardly at Yi Lan who was now sitting down in front of her. Madam Yi was very fast in grasping why Lie Ruge replied to her in that strange manner.
"I guess Yi Lan is there with you right now hmmm?" Madam Yi asked soberly.
"Yes, he has been staring at me charmingly since he sat down here. Do you want to talk to him?" Lie Ruge asked politely as she still maintained her fake smile. She was so afraid as she stared at Yi Lan, she was scared that she might make a mistake and ruin the elaborate plans she made with her mother-in-law.
"No, no, no. I'm not calm enough to talk to him right now. I will call him later. For now, make sure you don't do any rigorous activities that might hurt the baby alright! I will check up on you later when Yi Lan is not with you. I'm just so happy that you guys are coming back tomorrow morning," Madam Yi said, feeling very happy and relieved.
"Ok, I will be very careful," Lie Ruge said before her mother-in-law disconnected the call.
"Mum right?" Yi Lan asked after the call was disconnected.
"Yes"
"I know that mum particularly cares about you very much, but I just realized that she has been calling you often for the past three days. Is everything alright? Are you hiding the fact that you are unwell from me or what? I just feel like something is not right," Yi Lan said as he quickly changed where he was sitting. He moved to sit down beside her.
"What? Of course nothing is wrong. Mum has been worried about how we are faring outside the City. That is why she is constantly calling. The reason she called minutes ago was to relay how happy and anxious she was to know that we are coming back tomorrow. And nothing is wrong with me hubby, I am perfectly alright," Lie Ruge said, trying very hard to stay composed and focused since she was trembling on the inside.
