There were also a few missed calls, all from his old acquaintances when he had still been a celebrity.
Sheng Yize returned each call in turn and every one of them asked him if he planned to return to showbiz.
He turned all of them down politely.
Sis Ke, his old manager, chuckled. “Good choice. You have to deal with all sorts of people in this line of work. It might look like a glamorous job, but outsiders never see the hardship behind it. Go travel the world while you’re still young.”
After hanging up, Sheng Yize tapped the table with his long fingers. He had a plan.
The next day.
When An Xiaxia woke up, Sheng Yize announced: they were going on a honeymoon!
“But isn’t a honeymoon something for newlyweds? We’ve been married for ages…” An Xiaxia yawned.
Sheng Yize was disgruntled. “For ages? Are you calling me old now?”
“No! Of course not! You’ll always be 18 and have a great body!” An Xiaxia tried her best to praise him, or he would begin to prove to her that he wasn’t old with his actions…
Sheng Yize grunted. “If a honeymoon isn’t your thing, think of it as a pre-wedding trip, then. We’ll come back around New Year and have our wedding ceremony.”
An Xiaxia’s eyes twinkled. “Wow… I’ll get my belated wedding ceremony? Sheng Yize, you look as tall as 180cm today!”
“… I’m 186cm, thank you.”
“Teehee.”
After much cuddling, something suddenly occurred to An Xiaxia. “What about our companies?”
“Just leave them to professional managers.” The Shengshi and Diguang businesses were both on the right track now and making steady profits. His absence would mean a little less profit at most.
That was a small price to pay for getting some quality time with An Xiaxia.
There was always more money to earn as long as one lived, but one shouldn’t neglect the view outside the window as well as beloved ones for money.
“I’ll go do some research on travel destinations!” An Xiaxia was over the moon. She wanted to jump out of bed, but her legs gave out and she nearly fell on her face.
Sheng Yize caught her in time. “Be careful.”
An Xiaxia gave him a resentful look. “Look what you did to me last night…”
She ground her teeth, choking with silent fury. Sheng Yize chuckled at the look on her face. “Alright, it was my fault… I promise I’ll be gentler next time.”
He was actually thinking about the next time…
–
With their concerted efforts, Sheng Yize and An Xiaxia drew out their itinerary in two days.
An Xiaxia was a little reluctant to leave the babies on the day of their departure, but Sheng Yize was much calmer. “It’s time they learned to be independent.”
“They’re barely one year old…”
“We can’t be around forever; they better learn that now.”
An Xiaxia: …
Fine. Cola, Pepsi, little Hope, daddy and mummy are out to have fun. You three, be good babies at home.
They boarded their flight. It was the off-season at the moment and the first-class cabin was almost empty.
They had just sat down when someone called their names in a cheerful voice. “Xiaxia, Yize.”
An Xiaxia looked up and was surprised.
It was Fang Shanshan and Chi Yuanfeng!
“We’re going on a trip! The book says you have to travel with your other half before you get married. That way, you can make sure that he’s the one you want to spend your life with…” Fang Shanshan rambled on and An Xiaxia nodded. However, Sheng Yize frowned at this.
“Hi! Xiaxia, Yize! What a coincidence!” Su Xiaomo waved at them.
“Why, this is such a coincidence… What are you doing here?” An Xiaxia suspected nothing.
Su Xiaomo blinked. “We… are on our honeymoon!”
