When Shi Shuning and his brother and He Junting arrived at the resort, it was already noon, just in time for lunch with Ye Jinmeng and the others.
"You're here, hurry up and wash your hands, the seafood soup is almost ready, let's eat!" Gu Qi warmly welcomed the three boys.
"Alright, thanks Auntie." The three responded politely.
Lunch today was personally prepared by Gu Qi. The ingredients were various fresh seafood that Ye Junli had ordered with the staff earlier in the morning. Combined with Gu Qi's excellent cooking skills, it was a feast that left everyone full and satisfied.
After the meal, they planned to go soak in the hot springs at 3pm, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
"Mengmeng, here's the stuff you wanted."
Shi Shuning handed the stationery to Ye Jinmeng, then gently flicked her little nose, his voice indulgent: "You little girl, you had so much time before but didn't draw, now I don't know how you'll have fun properly."
Ye Jinmeng looked a little embarrassed, pouting her lips and glaring at Shi Shuning, "Humph, I just forgot okay, you didn't even remind me!"
"I will definitely finish the drawings before school starts again!" Ye Jinmeng clenched her little fist.
"Okay okay, it was my fault for not reminding you. These few days I'll supervise you and nag you to draw every day." Shi Shuning smiled faintly.
Ye Jinmeng humphed unhappily: "Humph, ignoring you now, I'm going to take a nap."
With that, she went back to her room and closed the door.
Xu Wanwan was sitting on the bed at this time, working on some translation orders on her phone. Looking up, she saw Ye Jinmeng carrying a large bag, presumably the drawing tools brought by Shi Shuning.
"Mengmeng, do you have inspiration now?"
"Not yet, haven't thought about it these days."
Ye Jinmeng put down her bag and lay down on the bed. "From now on, I'll start looking for inspiration and finish the drawings as soon as possible."
"Good, go for it Mengmeng, you're the best!"
Xu Wanwan encouraged Ye Jinmeng, but noticed there was no response. Glancing over, she realized the girl had already fallen asleep...
"This child, was still full of fighting spirit just now, and now has fallen asleep."
Xu Wanwan laughed and tucked Ye Jinmeng in properly before continuing to type on her phone.
...
The afternoon sun was very warm, but occasional gusts of autumn wind made it feel pleasantly cool and comfortable.
The group arrived at the hot spring resort. Since Xu Wanwan didn't bring a swimsuit, Ye Jinmeng took her directly to the service counter to pick out a set.
"Isn't this too little?"
Looking at the pathetically skimpy swimsuit in Ye Jinmeng's hand, Xu Wanwan blushed a little.
"Wanwan, soaking in hot springs is meant to let more skin contact the water, this is just right."
Saying so, Ye Jinmeng sized Xu Wanwan up and down again, "Besides, you have such a good figure, you have to show it off. And this isn't mixed bathing, just me and my mom."
Then she whispered in Xu Wanwan's ear: "My mom and I are wearing the same kind of swimsuits, what are you shy about?"
Xu Wanwan was rendered speechless, and could only take the swimsuit into the changing room.
The changing rooms here were small individual stalls. After changing, Ye Jinmeng came out to see her mother already changed and waiting for them outside.
Although Gu Qi had given birth to two children and was nearing fifty, she still maintained her figure very well, with fair, tight skin. This made Ye Jinmeng envious of her dad.
"Mom, I'm so envious of dad now, to have married such a wife as you!"
"Pfft, you naughty child." Gu Qi smiled tenderly.
Just then, Xu Wanwan also came out of the changing stall. Ye Jinmeng looked back and froze on the spot.
That figure, those breasts, that tiny waist, that butt, those long legs...
Ye Jinmeng glanced down at her own chubby belly, and was instantly crushed.
"Wanwan, your figure is so nice!" Ye Jinmeng said enviously.
"Look at me, no comparisons means no harm, it's all flesh." Saying so, she pinched the flesh on her belly.
Gu Qi and Xu Wanwan both laughed.
Xu Wanwan went up to comfort her, "No no, Mengmeng's figure is also very good, your chubby body is very cute."
As she spoke, she reached out to rub Ye Jinmeng's belly a few times, making her laugh out loud.
"That's right, darling you're not fat at all. Your body is full of flesh you've painstakingly nurtured over the years, that's called happiness, not fat."
Gu Qi said, then turned to look at Xu Wanwan, "Wanwan is too thin, you need to eat more, having a bit of flesh makes you look healthier. When we get back I'll cook more delicious food to supplement you."
Gu Qi loved seeing the children eat heartily and gain some weight, with flesh on their bodies. It gave Gu Qi a sense of accomplishment.
Saying so, the three entered the hot spring pool. The warm water enveloped their whole bodies, and all three let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.
"Ah...too comfortable!"
On the other side.
"Shuning, after two years in the army, you do look a lot sturdier." Ye Junli couldn't help praising.
The boy used to be frivolous, but after two years he looked more upright, and his spirit seemed much improved, just like his father Shi Ze in his youth.
Embarrassed by his future father-in-law's praise, Shi Shuning smiled and said, "These two years were a real workout, I didn't understand before, but in the army I learned that a man must have responsibility."
"Good point, but you still have to keep it up. Look at your dad, he still has the same resilience as when he was a soldier."
"Don't worry Uncle, I won't just maintain it, I'll keep working hard." To marry my chubby Mengmeng as soon as possible.
Ye Junli didn't know Shi Shuning was plotting to run off with his precious daughter, he just nodded approvingly.
Ye Junli turned to look at He Junting, "Junting, is Old He planning to hand the company over to you soon?"
He Junting nodded, "Almost, I'll do an internship at the company after New Year's, my dad said after I graduate he'll retire."
"Hahaha, good, then next year when us old guys retire, we can go traveling together."
Shi Ze had handed his company to Shi Shuan two years ago, and had been living it up with his wife. This year Ye Junli also passed his company to Ye Jinchen, so next year when He Yuanhao also has time, the three old fellows could enjoy themselves like they were young again with their wives.
Ye Jinchen of course knew what his old father was thinking, and helplessly shook his head.
Watching the men chatting and laughing, Ye Junwen's eyes flashed with displeasure.
