Chapter 1504 - 1506

Gong Ruini was recently really startled by Wan Yihui.

"Why, why are you speaking English at home?" Although everyone is used to speaking Chinese at home, even in an English-speaking environment.

Suddenly hearing someone speak English at home, Gong Ruini was understandably startled and reflexively responded in English, her face full of bewilderment.

"I want to work hard to improve my English proficiency."

"Sis, I’m planning to go to the bookstore to buy some books today."

Gong Ruini murmured in response, "How did you suddenly think of doing this at home as well?"

Though it can rapidly improve Wan Yihui’s English skills, Gong Ruini always felt somewhat uncomfortable with it.

Originally intending to relax at home, she didn’t expect to be in another English-speaking environment.

"I already have my goal, and I have to work hard to achieve it." Wan Yihui clenched his fist, indicating his determination to start working towards it today.

He has his goals? Gong Ruini paused, "Can I know what your goal is?"

"My goal is to be as brilliant as Ieoh Ming Pei."

"That’s the goal I’m striving for."

After speaking, Wan Yihui picked up a slice of bread and walked outside, leaving the stunned Gong Ruini behind.

"Sis, I’m going out for a run." No matter the industry he ends up in, having a healthy body is essential, and this fact has always been firmly remembered by Wan Yihui.

Ieoh Ming Pei? Is it the Ieoh Ming Pei she knows?

Oh my, Gong Ruini exclaimed. "This goal..."

Gong Ruini was thinking whether the kid was crazy. There are so many people studying architecture, but how many actually become Ieoh Ming Pei?

"What’s going on?" Zhao Xuran walked in with a bunch of vegetables and fruits.

Zhao Xuran used to habitually buy a lot of vegetables at once, partly because Gong Ruini’s tastes changed often, aiming to always meet her needs, and partly for convenience.

Since Zhan Jing arrived, she suggested that such vegetables and fruits weren’t fresh and must be bought daily.

Resigned to this, Zhao Xuran had to sacrifice his morning exercise time to buy breakfast. It’s known that those who go to the supermarket so early are either restaurant purchasers or elderly people.

Initially, Zhao Xuran was really uncomfortable with this; it’s quite embarrassing, isn’t it?

Now, Zhao Xuran has thickened his skin considerably; as long as his wife is happy, it’s fine.

"Oh, has Xiao Hui gone out?" Zhao Xuran recalled seeing Wan Yihui leave in sportswear earlier, which startled him a bit.

"Has he come to his senses?" Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t go out to exercise daily.

"I don’t know if he’s come to his senses; I just know that he’s planning to become Ieoh Ming Pei." Gong Ruini was helpless.

This kid always loves dropping bombshells; unless he stirs things up, he doesn’t rest easy.

Ah, no way. Wan Yihui actually has such a goal, "Is he really planning to study architectural design?"

"It’s actually quite suitable for him." Zhao Xuran was quite pleased with Wan Yihui’s choice.

What’s this mean? "Do you think he has the talent for it?"

No way, how come she didn’t know anything about it, while Zhao Xuran, despite being busier, knew?

Zhao Xuran hummed in agreement, going to the kitchen to squeeze freshly bought oranges into juice.

Staring at the freshly made juice, Gong Ruini really felt repelled; drinking orange juice every day—even knowing it’s good for the body—was really repulsive.

"Orange juice is good for health, replenishing vitamin C." Zhao Xuran didn’t quite understand this, but he couldn’t resist reading a lot of medical books lately.

He spoke logically about the benefits of vitamins to the body and how certain foods could supplement vitamins.

Gong Ruini retorted, "Then there’s the saying ’an apple a day keeps the doctor away.’"

"Yes, although that’s not verified, eating an apple a day isn’t much of a burden; I’ll make apple juice for you in the evening." Her husband’s lack of love for apples was due to their low water content.

Speechless, Gong Ruini decided in future discussions on these topics, she would absolutely refrain from expressing her ideas and opinions to avoid bad luck befalling her.

To prevent an increase in the amount and variety of juices she had to drink later, Gong Ruini chose to be a quiet beauty.

"By the way, do you really think he has talent?" Gong Ruini recalled Wan Yihui wasn’t particularly gifted in painting.

"Yes, his painting is average, but he really has talent in design. His ideas for several projects in Southern before were really good."

"Back then, I thought of letting him study design professionally; this way, the family’s project designs won’t have to enrich those in Hong Kong." Recalling the faces of those people from Hong Kong displeased Zhao Xuran.

Making money off them, yet still displaying a superior attitude—how could Zhao Xuran tolerate that?

The reason why Zhao Xuran had to endure it was due to no other choice.

Because there isn’t a better designer in the interior; if there is one, Zhao Xuran wouldn’t entertain them, letting them stay wherever they’re comfortable.

"Though you know it’s impossible to let Xiao Hui study in this field, I’ve not brought it up; just letting him occasionally provide some directions is fine." Zhao Xuran grew more excited as he spoke.

"I want to talk to Xiao Hui; by then, I can offer him a scholarship." Zhao Xuran expressed total support for Wan Yihui if he really studied construction design.

Alright then, seeing the sparkling gaze in her husband’s eyes, Gong Ruini understood it’s definitely the gaze reserved for recognizing talent, not out of consideration for someone else.

"Actually, letting him study this field is also good; with talent plus hard work, if we give him a chance, he will definitely succeed." With so many blessings, if Wan Yihui still doesn’t become renowned, Zhao Xuran would feel the kid’s luck is truly the worst.

"Then you should get Xiao Hui some books on construction design." Though unfamiliar with this field previously, she knew studying architecture requires going out more and that locking oneself up and building stuff is doomed to failure.

"Of course, of course."

"Once the baby is born, we can often go out for strolls; when the baby grows older, we can go to Europe during holidays."

"Not only can we go to broaden our horizons, but we can also take Xiao Zhi to broaden his horizons too." Although the United States is economically developed, its cultural depth is too shallow.

Wow, going for a stroll in Europe, Gong Ruini was full of excitement, "Is this because of Xiao Hui’s luck?"

Thinking about it, Gong Ruini felt sour; having given birth to his children, she never heard him say he’d take her on a trip to Europe.

Now, knowing that Wan Yihui wants to study construction design, he’s so generous—anyone else would also feel sour.

Oh dear, his wife is indeed getting jealous; Zhao Xuran embraced Gong Ruini, kissing her forehead.

"It’s our family of four going on a trip; bringing Xiao Hui along, he can help us take care of the kids while we travel." Zhao Xuran unashamedly said it’d be like having an extra nanny, albeit a cheap one.

This idea is perfect, "Sure, sure." Gong Ruini didn’t feel embarrassed at all—it’s unreasonable to eat for free and not be willing to contribute, right?

Oh no, unbeknownst to them, their conversation completely extinguished any idea that Gong Ruzhi had of sneaking in on their free trip, deciding against it.

Traveling might be appealing, especially a free trip, but if it’s about being a nanny, Gong Ruzhi thought he preferred staying in the United States to earn money. As for a trip to Europe, he can completely earn the money himself.
