Chapter 270: 270 Ji Pianran went to take a bath!_1

Gu Chen nodded, "Of course not."

The sales clerk was surprised, my goodness.

This out-of-towner must be really rich to buy such expensive toys for their child.

Gu Chen put down Tangtang and took out four hundred and thirty yuan from his pocket, placing it on the counter.

The sales clerk quickly wrapped up the two dolls and handed them to Gu Chen, "Sir, here are your Barbie dolls, welcome to visit us again."

Tangtang was absolutely thrilled to have two Barbie dolls all of a sudden.

But Ji Pianran felt different, she had a sullen look on her face.

This Gu Chen, buying one was enough, but two, he really does not know how to live life frugally!

Seeing her with a gloomy face and looking down, Gu Chen spoke with a smile, "What’s wrong, do you think I’m wasting money?"

At his words, Ji Pianran nodded.

"Even though we have money in hand, didn’t you say we need to save for buying a house? Once we buy the house, it’s like starting from zero. How can we not save up?"

Gu Chen laughed, "Don’t worry, when we get back, let Tangtang play first, and after she has had enough, you’ll understand why."

Educating a child is not something you can achieve just by talking.

If it were that simple, there wouldn’t be so many unsuccessful parents.

He didn’t want to be a failing parent, not because he feared failure, but because he feared holding back his child.

Ji Pianran didn’t say much, although she still didn’t quite understand, the Ji Pianran of now had an almost obsessive trust in Gu Chen.

When you trust someone, even if they really did something bad, you wouldn’t believe it.

Not to mention that Gu Chen had only bought two dolls, which hardly counted as a bad deed.

Seeing her silent with her head down, Gu Chen reached out and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "Come on, it’s nothing."

Ji Pianran nodded, "There was never anything to begin with."

...

Ten minutes later, the family of three finally returned to the hotel. They took the elevator up, arrived at their room door, and Gu Chen swiped the key card.

With a ’beep,’ the door opened.

The little one had her mind on the doll mountain the entire way and, once inside, sat on the carpet, eager to start playing.

Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen with a tender voice.

"Go take a hot shower, and I’ll give you a massage after you come out."

On hearing about taking a bath, Gu Chen’s eyebrows twitched, and his thoughts took a naughty turn. Here was talk of bathing, and a massage; it seemed undoubtedly like a big wellness treatment was in store.

Gu Chen grew more excited the more he thought about it.

After all, they had yet to be intimate in this lifetime!

If not today, then when? Today was a good day!

But there was a very important problem.

The child was still here; it wouldn’t be appropriate to do so in front of her.

No, he needed to get Tangtang to sleep first!

Swallowing hard, he said, "Why don’t you go shower first? It’s perfect, I’ll play with the child for a bit."

Play my foot!

He needed to get Tangtang to sleep!

Ji Pianran blinked, "That works, I’ll go shower then."

Truth be told, she too wanted a shower, and besides, Gu Chen had just talked about educating their child, hadn’t he?

Then let him handle it. Over the years, looking after the child meant every shower was like going to battle. Now, with such a nice environment and someone else to watch the child, of course, she wanted to take advantage.

She would take that shower.

Having said that, Ji Pianran went into the bathroom.

After taking off her clothes, she remembered she only had that one set to wear, and she had nothing to change into after the shower.

She thought for a moment and then called out through the bathroom door, "Tangtang, come help Mommy with the clothes."

The hotel bathroom, although fully equipped, wasn’t big. Right next to the shower was the washbasin, and clothes would definitely get wet if placed on it.

She didn’t want her clothes to get wet, for if they did, she would have nothing to wear afterward.

Hearing her mom call her, Tangtang quickly put down the doll in her hands and stood up, taking small steps towards the bathroom.

Ji Pianran handed all her clothes she had taken off to Tangtang and, after thinking it over, said with uncertainty, "You help Mommy put them on that counter. When Mommy calls for you to bring the clothes, you bring them in, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the little one tilted her head up and gave Ji Pianran an obedient smile.

"Got it, Mommy!"

She was Mommy’s little helper!

She would definitely do a good job with the tasks Mommy assigned.

Seeing her daughter so sensible, Ji Pianran was extremely relieved. She reached out and stroked her head, "Good girl, go play with Daddy."

Right now, Tangtang didn’t want to play with Daddy; she wanted to play with her doll.

Just as the little one turned around to come back, having just sat down on the carpet by the windowsill, she was scooped up by Gu Chen in one move.

He even smoothly pulled the curtains shut!

With blackout cloth attached, the curtains plunged the room into darkness, the only light coming from the warm, ambiguous glow of the bathroom.

Gu Chen, holding Tangtang, coaxed her in a soft voice, "Tangtang played all day, shall we go to sleep now?"

Tsk, tsk, so sneaky!

At his words, the little one decisively shook her head.

"No!"

She didn’t want to sleep; she wanted to play with her doll!

Gu Chen’s brows twitched, "How about this? If you go to sleep now, Daddy will buy you a lollipop tomorrow, how’s that?"

Tangtang blinked, her big, round eyes looking watery.

She rubbed her little head against Gu Chen’s chest, her voice taking on a whiny tone.

"No, Tangtang wants to play with dolls and also wants a lollipop."

The little one’s voice was soft and sticky sweet.

A demand for more disguised in the cutest, most righteous manner, as if not agreeing was a crime.

Gu Chen blinked his eyes a few times, somewhat helpless.

He really couldn’t stand the whining, but why did this mother-daughter duo both like to whine at him recently?

He reached out and messed with his ear, continuing to tempt her.

"How about this? You go to sleep tonight, and tomorrow Daddy will buy you ice cream, okay?"

The bargaining chip had been upgraded from a lollipop to ice cream.

Tangtang loved ice cream the most, he didn’t believe she could resist that.

Sure enough, the little one seemed even more tempted, she wrapped her arms around Gu Chen’s neck, leaning her soft little body into his arms.

Her young voice sounded incredibly sweet.

"Daddy, Tangtang wants to eat ice cream now~"

Gu Chen: "!!!!"

It was nighttime, and children have weak digestive systems; the best time to eat ice cream is during lunch and afternoon.

If she ate at night and got a stomachache, then what?

Besides, wouldn’t that delay him from watching Ji Pianran take a bath?

Behind that steamy glass, that enchanting figure; missing it would be a mistake!

Right now Ji Pianran was washing her hair, her long hair being thrown back in such a way that it seemed to swoosh right into Gu Chen’s heart.

It made Gu Chen’s heart quiver as he gazed fixedly at the glass, wishing he could see right through it!

Seeing that her dad wasn’t paying attention to her, Tangtang reached out and pulled Gu Chen’s head over, making him look at her.

Pouting with a milky voice she said, "Daddy, Tangtang wants ice cream..."

The little one’s tender voice perfectly controlled Gu Chen’s mood.

He was excited just a moment ago, now all he felt was a headache.

He touched Tangtang’s little head, "Tangtang, be good, we’ll eat ice cream tomorrow, okay?"
