"What did he say?" Pi Xiaoqian asked Guo Xuyang after he hung up the phone.
"What did he say? I knew telling you would lead to trouble. He's assigned me another task, a trip to Africa."
"Now? What's the situation?"
"It's all because of you," Guo Xuyang complained.
"I never expected Director Jiang to be this kind of person."
"Of course he's going to exploit me," Guo Xuyang said irritably. "Where's the stuff? Did you bring it?"
"Of course! What else would I be here for?"
"Come up with me. Let's go out together."
"What do you mean? You're not going to make me go to Africa with you, are you?"
"What? You don't want to? That place is full of beautiful women."
"Oh, come on. The beautiful women there aren't my type. Besides, I'm married now, I can't go out fooling around anymore."
"Really not going? Isn't Yelena from that place?"
"Really? Aren't they all dark as charcoal?"
"You can't judge people by their skin color. We have ugly and handsome people here too."
"Alright then. I'll go with you."
Pi Xiaoqian followed Guo Xuyang to Li Minyu's room. Li Minyu was coaxing Xiao Bao.
"Why are you here?"
"Yangzi said you gave birth, so I came to see," Pi Xiaoqian said with a smile, taking out a pair of gold bracelets.
Xiao Bao's eyes lit up when he saw the gold bracelets, and he raised his little hands.
"I say, Yangzi, why is your child so materialistic? Look at his little eyes, they're practically glowing." Pi Xiaoqian said teasingly as he handed over the gold bracelets.
"How can you say that? If you can't speak properly, don't speak," Li Minyu said.
"Xiao Yu, I wasn't talking about you, I was..."
"This is my child. What's wrong with being materialistic? Materialistic people make money." Li Minyu interrupted him.
"It's all my fault for not speaking carefully and making you angry." Pi Xiaoqian feigned a slap to his own mouth.
"I think you're just asking for it. Even a hen protects her chicks. How can you say bad things about her son in front of my wife? Aren't you asking for trouble?"
"You shut up. Who's a hen? Get lost. I think you two are deliberately trying to make me angry," Li Minyu scolded.
"Wasn't that a metaphor?"
"Is that how you use metaphors? Go do whatever you need to do, and don't make me angry here." Li Minyu waved his hand impatiently.
"Alright, we're leaving then." Guo Xuyang hurried towards the door.
"Scram, go as far away as you can. I won't be angry if I don't see you."
"Yes, I'm leaving now." Guo Xuyang was already outside as he spoke.
"I say, how are you holding up? Why do you seem to have a worse temper after giving birth?" Pi Xiaoqian asked Guo Xuyang.
"How am I holding up? I just try to stay as far away as possible."
"Fortunately, I didn't chase after her, otherwise I would have been tormented to death?" Pi Xiaoqian said, catching his breath.
"You brat, don't take your blessings for granted. I'm suffering on your behalf. Stop sighing. Since it's still early, let's book our tickets and go take a look around."
"Africa?"
"Not Africa, to their hometown."
"You know where that is?"
"What do you think I do?"
"That's right, you're a divine fortune teller," Pi Xiaoqian said with a smile.
They didn't delay. The two bought plane tickets and went directly to Sumatra. If the weather was hot in China, it was even hotter here.
"Damn, are you taking me for a sauna?" Pi Xiaoqian complained.
"If you want to go home quickly, you have to endure some hardship," Guo Xuyang said as he looked up. Numerous cargo ships were on the sea, a spectacular sight on the international route of the Strait of Malacca.
