The thought flashed through her mind and vanished, too quickly for her to register. Was it because pregnancy made people foolish and slow?
“I don’t want to climb the mountain,” Du Ruoxin shifted her gaze and said.
Kristino frowned slightly. “Didn’t you used to like it?”
Du Ruoxin: “I don’t like it anymore.”
Most importantly, she was afraid of tiring the second baby. A pregnant woman needed to be extra careful.
Kristino glanced at her belly, fell silent for a moment, and coaxed her kindly, “We’ll take the cable car up, no walking.”
Du Ruoxin still wanted to refuse. Kristino then said, “Then accompany me skiing.”
He paused. “The psychologist said that traveling can broaden one’s horizons, perhaps…”
He trailed off.
Du Ruoxin stared at her elder brother, blinking. “I still don’t want to go.”
This time, Kristino didn’t indulge her. He reached out and picked her up. “Xin’er, I always compromise. You should compromise with me for once.”
Du Ruoxin cried out in alarm, “Hey, hey, hey, put me down!”
Kristino directly carried her into the RV, embarking on a spontaneous trip.
Rong Jingyang was observing the villa next to Kristino’s, holding binoculars. He wasn’t looking at anything else, letting his assistant negotiate with the homeowner. He was solely focused on Kristino and Du Ruoxin across the way with his binoculars.
Because the living room had a large floor-to-ceiling window and the curtains were not drawn, Rong Jingyang could see their every move.
“Damn it!”
Seeing Kristino forcibly carrying Du Ruoxin, he became agitated.
“Motherfucker!”
“Cristino, let her go!”
Rong Jingyang cursed angrily, wishing he could jump down from the second floor immediately and have a duel with Kristino.
He turned and ran, disappearing down the corridor with a “whoosh.”
Rong Jingyang arrived at Kristino’s house, but before he could yell, the RV drove past him.
“???”
Where were they going?
Without a second thought, he drove his luxury car to follow them.
Du Ruoxin was very displeased with her elder brother’s rough behavior. Once in the car, she gave him a cold shoulder. “Hmph.”
She felt like she was being kidnapped!
Kristino rubbed her head. “Don’t be unhappy. Tell me yourself, how long has it been since you accompanied me on a trip?”
He had been saying it from last year to this year, and she had never agreed.
Du Ruoxin ignored him and quietly took out her phone. She wanted to call Grace and ask her to join, but then remembered Grace had also been kidnapped.
Miranda was busy with her film shoots and had no time to go out and play.
Unable to find anyone, she quietly put her phone away.
Kristino understood her small actions.
Sighing, he said with some frustration, “Even for a family trip, you’re unwilling to accompany me?”
“Xin’er, is it that I’ve burdened you too much, or have you burdened yourself too much?”
She was always wary of him, like a hedgehog, bristling with thorns whenever he got close.
While hurting him, she also wounded herself.
“Relax.”
After saying this, Kristino said no more.
Du Ruoxin also remained silent. In the quiet space, besides their breathing, there was only the sound of surrounding vehicles.
【Does Big Brother mean… he only sees me as family?】
Had he let her go?
Was that it?
The thought flashed through her mind, and Du Ruoxin felt a surge of emotion. “Brother…”
Just as she was about to have a proper talk with her elder brother, the driver’s voice interrupted her, “Master, we are being followed.”
