Chapter 129 Mid-Autumn Festival Extra

On the balcony.

"Um... Ashu...."

"Shh, Zhenzhen, don't make a sound." Gu Yushu pinched Shen Zhen's waist and kissed her deeply. Since Yuanyuan came along, they hadn't had a proper kiss in a long time. Every time before she could get close to Shen Zhen, Yuanyuan would come up to her, calling "Mommy, Mommy."

Gu Yushu was driven crazy by the torment. This time, he finally found an opportunity to trick Yuanyuan into playing hide-and-seek, and pulled Shen Zhen to hide on the balcony.

Although it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is still extremely hot.

Gu Yushu's palm was incredibly hot, and Shen Zhen couldn't help but flinch as she was burned, silently tilting her head back to endure it all.

"Mommy, Mommy, where are you hiding?"

A round, sweet voice rang out from outside, and the clattering footsteps seemed to be coming towards the balcony.

Shen Zhen was both embarrassed and anxious, afraid that Yuan Yuan would see, and gently pushed Gu Yushu away, "Um...no..."

Looking into her hazy almond eyes, Gu Yushu felt a surge of emotion. He moved closer, gripping Shen Zhen's hands tightly above her head to stifle her unease and moans.

The footsteps grew closer, and Gu Yushu became even more persistent. Shen Zhen's eyes widened suddenly, beads of sweat trickled down her neck, her fingertips curled up, and she huddled in Gu Yushu's arms, too embarrassed to move.

"Yuanyuan, Grandma will take you downstairs." Aunt Zhang came over just in time, took Yuanyuan's hand and led her downstairs, shaking her head as she went. Young people these days!

Little Yuanyuan, confused, asked in her childish voice, "Grandma, where did Mommy go? How did she hide so well? Next time we play hide-and-seek, I'll hide there too."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, Yuanyuan, let's go look for them in the garden. Those two are really good at hiding."

Hearing the footsteps fading into the distance, Shen Zhen, already exhausted, slumped into Gu Yushu's arms, her eyes brimming with tears. She puffed out her cheeks and scolded, "Don't see anyone!"

Her soft voice sounded more like a coquettish tone. Gu Yushu hugged Shen Zhen and kissed her repeatedly, coaxing her softly, "Zhenzhen, come with me on this business trip. Yuanyuan can stay home for a few days, it'll be fine. We'll come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Shen Zhen refused without even thinking, "No, Yuanyuan is so old, and I've never been away from her."

Gu Yushu bit her rosy lips, lifted her waist, and pressed down hard, "If you can't bear to part with her, then you can bear to part with me."

Shen Zhen's breath hitched, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears finally dripped down her cheeks. She tilted her long neck back and whispered in defense, "Hmm... I can't bear to part with you either. A-Shu, don't be angry."

Gu Yushu wasn't really angry; he was just looking for an excuse to bully Shen Zhen so that she would do it willingly.

The two fooled around upstairs for a while before coming down. Yuanyuan saw Shenzhen walking down the balcony stairs and stared in surprise.

"Mommy, where are you hiding? Yuanyuan has been looking for you for ages and can't find you!"

Shen Zhen walked over and picked up Yuan Yuan, her eyes darting around, and coaxed her weakly, "It's a secret, next time Mommy will take Yuan Yuan to hide."

A round, white, delicate hand touched Shen Zhen's lips. "Mommy, what happened to your mouth? Did you get bitten by a mosquito?"

Shen Zhen nodded guiltily. Gu Yushu came over and took Yuanyuan from her. "Mom is going on a business trip for a few days. Yuanyuan, be a good girl at home."

The little round, fair-skinned girl clung to Gu Yushu's shoulder, her little legs swinging back and forth. "Mommy, take Yuanyuan with you..."

Gu Yushu playfully pinched her nose. "I brought you a gift when I came back!"

Yuanyuan nodded sensibly, "Okay, Yuanyuan will take her medicine obediently, without crying or fussing. Mommy, please come back soon."

Shen Zhen felt guilty. Yuan Yuan had been in poor health since birth and had to take medicine all the time. But Yuan Yuan was very sensible. Such a small child would only frown when taking medicine and never make a fuss.

Gu Yushu reached out and quietly squeezed Shen Zhen's palm, but her eyes were on Yuan Yuan. "Yuan Yuan is great! Mom will be back soon."

That night, after coaxing Yuanyuan to sleep, Shen Zhen went back to her room to check Gu Yushu's suitcase, looking carefully for anything he might have forgotten.

Gu Yushu embraced her from behind, turned and kissed Chen Zhen's earlobe, whispering, "Wife..."

Shen Zhen kept her head down, feeling heavy-hearted. Over the years, they had rarely been apart, and she had long been accustomed to Yu Shu by her side. Even though it was only for a few days, she still felt extremely reluctant to part.

"Be good, we'll be back soon. Next time it's a business trip like this, we'll definitely let Chuchu go." Gu Yushu pulled Shen Zhen to the window, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gently massaged the soft flesh of her waist with his fingertips.

Is it still sour?

(Chuchu at home: "Listen to me, thank you. Because of you, the four seasons are warm...")

Shen Zhen twisted her body and found a comfortable position to lean against Gu Yushu's chest. Their eyes met through the glass.

Shen Zhen reached out and carefully traced Gu Yushu's eyebrows and eyes, tilting her head as she said, "A-Shu, do you know? The first time I saw you, I thought, how can someone be so good-looking?"

Gu Yushu's cool and aloof expression relaxed as she gently massaged her face.

Shen Zhen comfortably closed her eyes, gazing at the moonlight that shimmered in a halo, and slowly began to speak: "Later, every time I wrote a story, I would unconsciously include you in it, falling in love with you again and again in my subconscious. I think Shen Zhen should be Gu Yushu's..."

Gu Yushu chuckled softly and couldn't resist kissing those lips that had confessed their love so passionately, her kiss tender and lingering, deepening and deepening.

Under the soft moonlight, a summer breeze lifted a corner of the curtains, revealing two shapely figures entwined tightly, their soft moans fading into the night.

After Gu Yushu went on a business trip, Shen Zhen bought a lot of things and decorated the house.

Huge lanterns were hung up, colorful lights were wrapped around the outside, and tables and chairs for moon-viewing were already set up in the courtyard.

Shen Zhen even specially invited a pastry chef back to learn how to make all kinds of mooncakes.

Shen Zhen eagerly awaited the Mid-Autumn Festival, but as she waited, Gu Yushu called the day before to say that he couldn't make it back and would have to wait until after the festival.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhen felt an indescribable disappointment and sadness. Looking at the house that had been decorated so warmly and busily, she still felt empty inside. A house without Ashu was incomplete.

On the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, after putting Tuantuan to sleep, Shen Zhen sat alone in the courtyard, staring blankly at the sky, muttering to herself, "Gu Yushu, that big liar! He clearly said he would come back when he left, but now he doesn't want his wife or his child anymore. The project! The project! What a lousy project!"

"Ah, I miss her so much..."

Shen Zhen propped her head up, not wanting to do anything, her mind filled with thoughts of Gu Yushu.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a huge firework burst open in the dark night sky, as beautiful as a shooting star.

Shen Zhen couldn't help but stand up. "Wow! So beautiful."

Then the drone began to hover in the night sky, and the words gradually became clearer.

"Zhenzhen, may you be happy and healthy."

Shen Zhen covered her lips, unable to believe what she was seeing, her heart pounding wildly. "What is this! Instead of coming back to be with me, this is all you do?"

"Who said I wasn't coming back? Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, honey!"

Gu Yushu stood at the door with a smile, but her brows betrayed her exhaustion. To get back as soon as possible, she had been working day and night to meet deadlines, much to the dismay of her subordinates.

Shen Zhen couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Gu Yushu's arms, "You're so annoying!"

"Um."

"I miss you."

"Yes, I miss you too." In the few days since they separated, her longing has grown wildly. Gu Yushu dares not think about how she got through those years, her lovesickness is agonizing.

The fireworks display was originally planned for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Gu Yushu couldn't bear to see Shen Zhen sad, so he tried to cheer her up a day early.

The next day, on the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family sat in the courtyard chatting and admiring the moon.

Grandpa Gu glanced at Gu Yushu and clicked his tongue.

Gu Yushu pretended not to see it and calmly sipped her tea.

"Tsk!" Old Master Gu exclaimed again, "Oh dear, I heard someone set off hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fireworks last night! I'm getting old! Nobody offered to show me!"

Yuanyuan, with her short legs, climbed onto Grandpa Gu and said in her childish voice, "Yuanyuan wants to see fireworks too!"

Chu Chu chimed in from the side, "Baby wants to see fireworks too!"

Tuantuan touched Yuanyuan's little face, "Yuanyuan, be good, I'll put it for you when I grow up."

Gu Yushu pouted at Chu Chu, "You're not even as good as Tuantuan!"

Shen Zhen, holding up the finished mooncakes, smiled and invited everyone to try them, "Come and have a taste! These are mooncakes I made! I specially learned how to make them from a chef!"

The mooncakes on the plate were of various shapes and looked quite adorable.

Gu Yushu slowly picked one up, put it in her mouth, took a bite, narrowed her eyes slightly, and chewed it carefully.

Shen Zhen asked excitedly, "A-Shu, how is it? Is it delicious?"

Gu Yushu met Shen Zhen's bright eyes, pulled her hand, and tugged her onto his body. "Our Zhenzhen is so skillful and her food is delicious!"

Chu Chu immediately grabbed one, "Then I'll try one too!" As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Chu took a big bite, and when she met Gu Yushu's warning look, her expression became extremely strange.

Shen Wan secretly pinched her arm, and Chu Chu immediately chuckled dryly, "Hehe...delicious, delicious..."

Shen Zhen didn't notice anything amiss and clapped her hands. "Wow! Looks like we finally succeeded this time! I'll try one too!"

Gu Yushu pulled Shen Zhen's hand to his lips and kissed it, looking straight into her eyes. "Zhenzhen, come with me to the kitchen to make a pot of tea, okay?"

Gu Yushu's voice was gentle. In front of so many people, Shen Zhen's face turned bright red. She shyly let Gu Yushu pull her home.

Grandpa Gu suppressed a laugh, "Hahahaha, Yu Shu is really fiercely protective of her own!"

Yuanyuan tilted her head. "Grandpa, what does it mean to protect one's own?"

Grandpa Gu rubbed his chin against the round, fair face. "Love means protecting your own!"

Yuanyuan seemed to understand but not quite, and reached out her little hand to take the mooncakes from the table.

Tuantuan picked up a piece of osmanthus cake from the side, broke it into a small piece, and fed it to her. "Yuanyuan, be good, eat this."

Under the moonlight, the family chatted and laughed.

Shen Zhen sat in the middle of everyone, her smile never fading. With her loved one by her side and her family healthy and well, how wonderful!
