Chapter 408: 408 Visit Aquarium_1

Ji Pianran was utterly drained, panting and glaring at Gu Chen who was beside her.

In her enticing eyes, there was still a trace of defiance.

During the heated exchange of opinions they had just had, she was so close to winning.

How vexing, to always fall just a modicum short, which left her quite unhappy.

"Keep it up, wife; just hold on a little longer.

Next time you will definitely beat me. You must believe in yourself!"

The invigorated Gu Chen was in an exceedingly good mood at this moment.

While spiritedly drinking Spirit Spring Water, he tried to hold back his laughter, cheering on his wife who lay on the bed, limp as a noodle.

"Hmph, do whatever you want, I’m not talking to you anymore."

Ji Pianran turned her head away angrily, throwing a little tantrum.

Every time they had a disagreement, they would somehow end up taking it to the bed.

Without fail, she would lose, and by just that little bit each time.

Even though her husband was incredibly vigorous, a blessing many others could only wish for, Ji Pianran was not feeling happy about it.

She had a hundred ways to make that unreasonable shrew come to her door and apologize.

But now that she had lost, she could only listen to Gu Chen’s suggestion and let the matter slide.

Ji Pianran had a broad perspective in the business world, but when it came to her family, she was exceptionally petty.

"Oh, wife, stop thinking about all the what-ifs.

I know you’re very capable now, but we’re not in the countryside anymore.

You’re the young mistress of the Ji Corporation, it’s beneath you to make a fuss over such a small matter."

Gu Chen had always been quite relaxed about these things; after all, he didn’t lose out, so he was even more unconcerned.

Then he snuggled up with a cheeky smile, looking at his wife pouting angrily.

Her little expression was a carbon copy of their daughter’s, as if carved from the same mold.

Gu Chen couldn’t help but smile even more brilliantly, then leaned down to kiss her.

He kept kissing her until she was almost out of breath before he finally stopped.

"Get up quickly, or our daughter will come looking for us after she’s done watching the cartoon.

Today you finally have a day off, so let’s go out together.

Just before bed yesterday, you promised to take Tangtang to the aquarium next time, have you forgotten?"

Gu Chen’s words immediately succeeded in diverting her attention.

Ji Pianran suddenly thought about how she didn’t even know where her daughter went to school or what her teacher looked like.

She couldn’t help but think again that she was a failure as a mother.

With that thought, she decided that no matter what meetings were scheduled today, they were of no consequence.

She had to spend quality time with her husband and daughter to make up for her lack of presence in Tangtang’s eyes.

Half an hour later.

Having showered and dressed, Ji Pianran came downstairs from the upper floor.

Her daughter, who had finished watching cartoons, was currently playing Ludo with Gu Chen in the living room on the ground floor.

The moment she saw Ji Pianran, she was overjoyed.

"Mom, do you really not have to work today? Are you and dad going to take me out to play?"

Looking at her daughter’s expectant yet cautiously considerate face, Ji Pianran felt her heart ache.

How could she possibly refuse her daughter’s simple wish?

She immediately reached out to hold her precious daughter in her arms, and the three of them left the villa together.

Speaking of which, these children’s information network is actually highly developed.

Especially when it comes to these fun and interesting places.

The first aquarium in Chuan City had actually just opened less than a week ago.

Not to mention Ji Pianran, even Gu Chen himself had learned about this news from his daughter.

And Tangtang not only knew about the aquarium’s opening but could even recite its exact location off the top of her head.

This made Gu Chen feel rather inferior.

Who says children are dumber than adults? They’re clearly not stupid at all.

In no time, a luxury sports car with a bright Estoril Blue finish slowly pulled up in front of the aquarium.

The sleek lines of the car’s body were quite pleasing to the eye, almost outshining the majority of models on the current market.

The almost overwhelming sense of design and artistry immediately attracted many onlookers.

However, when they saw the emblem on the car, people were somewhat puzzled.

Some speculated curiously that it might cost five hundred thousand to buy.

Some said it only took three hundred thousand, while others thought maybe even one hundred thousand would do, but were sure that deal wouldn’t go through.

Gu Chen opened the car door, stepping out with his daughter and wife.

The first aquarium in Chuan City had quite the reputation, though it seemed not to advertise much.

But upon arriving, Gu Chen realized that there was an endless stream of people buying tickets.

Fortunately, with three ticket windows open at the same time, the process was quite fast.

The family didn’t have to wait long before they got their tickets and walked in together.

Compared to the extravagantly expensive, ecologically complete aquariums of future generations.

Gu Chen felt that this place was somewhat reminiscent of a large seafood market.

Or perhaps it was the overuse of fish tanks that gave off that impression.

After all, constructing pools that simulate the marine ecosystem is very costly.

However, his daughter was very happy, looking at all sorts of fish and seahorses.

From time to time, she would let out bursts of adorable exclamations.

Ji Pianran had never been to such a place before, and now, accompanying his daughter, found it quite novel, holding a picture book called "Sea Tribe Records" in his hand as well.

While comparing the marine life in the book, he softly explained the name and habits of each creature to his daughter.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, stood beside them, holding his daughter in one arm and leading his wife with the other, listening with a smile.

He thought the owner of the aquarium was quite business-savvy.

After all, with so many people coming at once, there would definitely not be enough guides.

So, they simply sold related picture books right at the ticket entrance.

The price of this merchandise was several times the bookstore price, but there were many buyers; almost everyone had one in hand as they entered.

Even those who didn’t buy on the way in would often take one home as they left.

If it came down to it, selling these picture books was much more profitable than selling tickets.

After all, it not only increased knowledge but also served as a souvenir, making the visit worthwhile.

Moreover, although the picture books were marked up, the craftsmanship and quality were very solid, with each page printed in color.

Even after reading it themselves, it would make a nice gift to give away in the future.

Gu Chen found it quite interesting, as, in this era, there weren’t many with such a mindset.

It was just a shame that the Ji Family didn’t sell toys, nor did they have any factories.

Otherwise, he would have considered contacting the owner to expand further into related industries.

What’s the point of selling just a few picture books? Children’s toys and realistic models were where the real money was.
