Bringing the Little Crown Prince on a Parenting Reality Show — I'm Cleared of All Scandals!-Chapter 124 - 123: The Seaside

Xiao Yu’an tried hard to understand her thoughts and realized she was indeed a bit immature, so finding clues from her was impossible.

"Well, you have a good attitude."

"Yes, that’s probably my biggest advantage."

Even if the sky fell, she would still eat, drink, and sleep as needed, and not let anything bother her.

Xiao Yu’an chuckled, "By the way, I remember you’re going abroad and the departure date coincides with your birthday. How about I go abroad with you?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Huh? You’ll come with me? Aren’t you busy?"

"Not too bad."

"It’s just a birthday, happens every year, no need to make a big fuss. You can just give me a random gift."

Mu Ran declined.

She used to love celebrating birthdays when she was a child.

Back then, her parents would report large parties and invite many kids to celebrate her birthday.

After her parents left, only Sister Shu He and Uncle Liu were there to celebrate her birthday. Uncle Liu would make a cake for her and ask if she wanted a party.

Once, her brother overheard.

He said, "I’m exhausted, I don’t have time to attend her party. If I don’t attend, you can go ahead and report the birthday party, it’s up to you."

Since then, Mu Ran, who originally disliked birthdays out of spite, genuinely grew to dislike them.

The people who were happiest for her birth either weren’t there or didn’t care.

Seeing Xiao Yu’an’s gloomy expression, Mu Ran felt it cruel to tell him that and explained, "I want to spend time with Xiao Jin this time. After that, I have to go shoot a film. By then, he’ll be alone in Hai City, which is quite pitiful. How about this, after my film shoot is finished, we’ll go abroad together, okay?"

"How long will it take for you to finish shooting the film?"

"Four months."

Mu Ran already had a good idea of how to shoot it, and the actors were in place. As long as everyone performed well, filming should go smoothly.

"Can I visit you on set?"

"Uh... if you want to visit, please ask me beforehand. I might be busy, and when I’m busy, my temper might worsen, and you might bear the brunt of it."

"Then we won’t have much time together." Right now, Xiao Yu’an really wanted to stick close to her.

"If love is meant to last, does it matter about being together day and night?" Mu Ran comforted him, "Once the shooting is over, we can really enjoy our time."

Xiao Yu’an, still not giving up, asked, "Even on your birthday?"

"Flying back and forth would take a long time... fine, come if you want." Mu Ran reluctantly agreed.

Xiao Yu’an was satisfied.

Once the food was served, they ate together.

In the following days, they met whenever possible, which repeatedly drove Chu Xijin crazy.

He waited day and night.

Finally, it was time to go abroad!!!

Oh heavens, he could finally see his aunt and uncle separated, moved to tears.

Chu Xijin and Mu Ran went abroad.

Xiao Yu’an also flew out of Hai City.

When Xiao Baocang from the Xiao Family found out Xiao Yu’an went abroad, he quickly went to block Chu Xijin at the entrance of his kindergarten.

He told him about the cruelty of the Xiao Family, and how miserable he’d be if Mu Ran married in, urging him to speak badly about Xiao Yu’an.

Later, his assistant informed him that Chu Xijin had gone abroad.

It made him furious.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan.

—Wu Jiaquan!

This man was not easy to deal with; he was the one who started the campaign against Black Mu Ran, causing her an unprecedented wave of online abuse. This year, his fee for targeting Mu Ran was revealed — an exorbitant price like nothing before, and probably unmatched in the future.

The city where the film festival was held is built on a bay, and Mu Ran planned to take Xiao Jin to see the sea.

"Have you seen the sea before?"

"No."

Chu Xijin remembered that there was no sea in Daqi.

"Then let’s go take a walk. The coastline here is shell-shaped and quite famous." Mu Ran handed him swimwear, "You wear a tank top and shorts."

"No, no, no, I don’t want to."

Chu Xijin stepped back from his aunt.

"Why not, you’ve been here for so long and still can’t wear shorts." Mu Ran pulled him over, "Try it."

"Auntie, we can just look."

Chu Xijin looked at the tank top and shorts, really unable to accept them.

"Why not? No one will mind. Many people don’t even wear a top," Mu Ran coaxed, "It’s fine, put them on. I’ve never seen you in modern clothes."

"Next time, Auntie, you go change."

Chu Xijin felt that if he had to wear modern clothes, he should start with winter wear.

Summer wear was a no-go!

"Alright then." Mu Ran didn’t bother persuading him, went to change into her swimwear — the top was a band-style vintage denim print, with a short skirt at the bottom. It had been a while since Mu Ran wore a swimsuit. She took a picture in the mirror and sent it to Xiao Yu’an, "Going swimming~"

The special ringtone interrupted a working Xiao Yu’an, and when he opened his phone, the photo on the screen made his blood surge. He immediately called, "You’re wearing that to swim?"

"What else?"

"Will it be...?"

"It won’t!"

Mu Ran cut him off before he could finish.

Xiao Yu’an knew he couldn’t stop her, so he feigned misery, "I’ve never seen it!"

"Nonsense! You’ve seen every inch of me. Looking at my photo, your only comment should be that I’m beautiful and super beautiful!" Mu Ran snorted, "You don’t understand clothing freedom? Considering how you spend your days abroad."

"I..."

Even though he spent his days abroad,

he couldn’t change his ancient feudal mindset.

But he indeed couldn’t stop Mu Ran from wearing whatever she liked, and could only say, "Abroad is different from domestic in terms of safety. Remember to bring bodyguards and keep Xiao Jin with you."

Xiao Jin’s combat skills weren’t bad.

Even surpassed many current agents, mainly relying on the cultivation of Inner Strength, but Xiao Yu’an had caught people to try cultivating Inner Strength, and no one in this world could train.

"Okay." Mu Ran agreed.

She could accept Xiao Yu’an’s concern for her safety, "If that’s all, I’m hanging up to go play."

"Hmm... you look beautiful, super beautiful. I really regret not going with you."

"Haha."

Mu Ran laughed happily.

After hanging up, she took Xiao Jin to the beach, mainly responsible for sunbathing under the parasol...

This action caught a lot of attention.

Mu Ran wore sunglasses and a hat, completely ignoring the disapproving looks of others.

She let Xiao Jin play freely.

On his learning device, Xiao Jin had seen many pictures of the sea. Still, seeing it firsthand was different.

He couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

The sea was so beautiful and stunning.

The shimmering water, with sunlight creating various reflections, left him in awe. The sand on the beach was incredibly fine, and Chu Xijin trod lightly, feeling an uncontrollable exhilaration, skipping around.

Some kids noticed his attire and curiously approached, wondering why he wasn’t wearing swimwear.

Couldn’t he afford it?

Some saw his good looks but knew he was Asian, jokingly said, "As expected, Asians are poor, can’t even afford swim trunks."
