Ch.279 Gambling (3)
Thinking that her papa was getting impatient with her, Tuantuan apologized quietly, "I'm sorry, Papa. Tuantuan didn't bother you on purpose. It's just that Tuantuan never went to such a nice place before. Tuantuan used to think that the world is only as big as the village. Then, Tuantuan thought that the world was as big as A City...Only now did Tuantuan find out that the world is actually so big. Whenever the kids in class say they've been to America, Australia, and England...Tuantuan gets very envious. Do you understand, Papa?"
After she asked that question, she dropped her head and sighed. "Of course Papa won't understand. Papa has gone to many places..."
When he saw how lost his child looked, Lu Ting reached out to stroke her head and leaned down to give her a kiss on the swirl at the top of her head. "It's okay. In the future, your Mama and Papa will bring you to even more places. We will fill your life with all the colors of the world."
Tuantuan hugged Lu Ting's arm and rubbed her cheek on it. "Papa is the best. Papa, Tuantuan suddenly feels like crying. Tuantuan feels like she's the happiest..."
...
At around four in the morning, Lu Ting and his family arrived at Mara Island.
Lu Ting carried the child off the boat while Lin Yueqi who was sleeping at the side caught the man's arm sleepily, yawning hard. When they reached the shore, Tuantuan pointed to the brightly lit castle-looking building at the peak of a mountain, "Mama, look! It's a fairytale castle!"
Lin Yueqi looked up and was shocked by the building at the top of the mountain as well. The building was constructed just like a magnificent fairytale castle with beams of lights that go straight up into the starry sky.
The sky above the island was dotted with stars, and the milky way was clearly visible. Whether it be the architecture or the starry sky, this place looked just like a fairytale.
An old man in a tunic suit came forward and bowed to them. "Mr. Lu, Miss Lin, and Miss Lu, a pleasure to have you. Please allow me to introduce myself. My surname is Jin, and I am the island's caretaker. Please follow me to the car. We have a room prepared for you."
The car traveled up the hill and they were brought to the resort on top.
Right outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the cliff, and since it was nighttime, nothing could be seen.
Lin Yueqi was simply too tired so she fell asleep as soon as she fell onto the bed. Tuantuan was so excited that she couldn't sleep a wink at night. She couldn't wake up her Mama, so she pulled Lu Ting's ear, waking him up and whispering, "Papa, can I wear the prettiest dress for a photo tomorrow? YOu can post my picture on Mama and your Weibo, as well as the class group, okay? I want all the children in the world to know that Tuantuan has gone on a holiday with her Papa and Mama."
"Sure." Lu Ting closed his eyes. He was very sleepy, so even his answer was a little perfunctory.
Probably having sensed how tired he was, Tuantuan sighed and also went to sleep.
During that night, the child was tossing and turning in bed, finding it difficult to fall asleep.
The next morning before dawn, she shook Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting awake. "Papa, Mama, wake up! The sun is shining!"
Lin Yueqi rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking at her with a haggard face, "Tuan-jie, what time is it? Can you please spare Qiqi?"
"Mama, look! It's the sun! It looks super pretty!" Tuantuan raised her hand and pointed outside the window.
The view outside the window was the cliff, the blue ocean, and the rising sun, while the sunglow peaked from behind the majestic clouds in the distance. The early sun matched with the vast and magnificent sea, as well as the flocks of seagulls, was breathtakingly beautiful.
She quickly fished her camera from her bag to take pictures of the beautiful scenery outside.
The wonderful view was really worth the trip here.
Lu Ting also got up and quickly washed up before ordering breakfast. The family of three sat by the cliff pool outside the living room balcony, enjoying the view as they dined.
After breakfast, Lu Ting arranged for a car to take them on a tour of the island, taking pictures in the woods and soaking in the hot springs.
By the afternoon, Butler Jin had already arranged dinner for them at the colorful beach.
