At this moment, Ren's face was aligned with Jada's stomach. While most of her body was covered by clothes, her thighs were not, and the breath he exhaled easily landed on her sensitive skin.
"What do you mean I blew air?" Ren looked up at Jada innocently and said seriously, "I need to breathe too, right?"
"Then no breathing allowed!"
"..."
Women can be so unreasonable!
Ren glared at Jada.
"What are you looking at?" Jada pinched Ren's ear. "Turn your face up, or you don't get to lie here anymore!"
She clearly knew how unrealistic her earlier statement had been.
"..."
Ren obediently stayed quiet.
Arguing with a woman never ends well. Even if you win the logic, you still lose in love.
So Ren just laid there quietly, face up, resting his head on Jada's lap.
Jada, meanwhile, placed her fingers on his temples and began to gently massage him. Her soft fingers moved in circles, helping Ren's mind gradually calm down.
Ren rested his head on Jada's thighs, his arms relaxed by his sides.
Faint sounds of laughter from the beach could be heard in the distance.
After a long moment of silence, Ren suddenly spoke. "Jada."
"Hm?" Jada looked down at Ren, a bit puzzled.
"I've been wondering about something related to biology. I'd like to discuss it with you," Ren said in an overly serious tone, though his words were clearly nonsense.
Hearing this, Jada became even more curious.
Since when did Ren know anything about biology?
But for some reason, Jada had a bad feeling, as if something told her she shouldn't answer him.
Still, curiosity got the best of her, and she asked, "What biology question?"
"Well, you're not pregnant anymore, but why does it seem like your chest has gotten bigger?" Ren tried to sound as innocent as possible, looking at Jada with a serious expression. "Could it be an issue of perspective? I remember when taking pictures, you can get this kind of illusion. Maybe it's because I'm lying down, so it looks bigger?"
As he spoke, Ren scratched his chin thoughtfully. "It might even have something to do with drawing too. When you draw, you can use certain tricks to create optical illusions, so it's not just biology!"
Ren's words gradually became a blur.
Jada sighed and pinched both of Ren's cheeks. "Honey, why do you always focus on weird things and say random stuff? You look good, but the moment you start talking, it kind of ruins your whole vibe. If you keep this up, you'll have no luck with women!"
"Why would I need luck with women?" Ren rubbed his cheeks, looking earnestly at Jada. "I'm only interested in you. Every other woman is like a passing cloud to me!"
"Oh? Really?" Jada looked at Ren with a teasing glance. "Then how come I remember you checking out other girls in swimsuits earlier?"
"..." Ren fell silent, his eyes darting as he quickly tried to change the subject. "Speaking of which, why is it called a lap pillow when I'm resting on your thighs?"
"That's a pretty bad attempt to change the subject," Jada replied, clearly unimpressed. "Try again."
She pinched Ren's waist, making him wince in pain.
"I love you! In this life, the next, and the one after that, I want to be with you forever."
"That line's way too cliché," Jada said coolly, her eyes looking down at Ren. "And it's so dry. Who knows if you're serious?"
"Then…" Ren sat up a little, leaned in, and quickly kissed Jada on the lips.
Just then, a child's voice suddenly sounded next to them.
"Wow!!!" Their little girl covered her eyes with her hands, but peeked through her fingers at Ren and Jada. "So embarrassing! You guys kissed!"
The little girl didn't actually understand why kissing between adults was embarrassing.
But her parents had mentioned it before, and she often saw it in cartoons, so she knew it was something grown-ups did, and that made it something to be shy about!
With the little girl interrupting, Jada, who had been stunned by Ren's unexpected kiss, quickly snapped back to her senses. Her fair cheeks turned a shade of pink.
Looking at Jada, Ren couldn't help but think to himself.
How can my wife be this cute?
But soon enough, he turned to the little girl and waved her over. "Come here!"
"Huh? What is it?" The little girl walked over, confused.
Then—
Mua
"Ah! Daddy's picking on me!" The little girl immediately wiped her cheek, looking disgusted. "It's all slobbery!!!"
…
As the sun set, the golden light reflected off the waves, and the gentle sound of the sea calmed their hearts.
"Let's head back."
Jada stretched lazily and turned to Ren, her black eyes clear and captivating.
Ren could see the sunset sinking into the sea in her eyes, creating a breathtaking beauty.
He smiled softly, nodding with satisfaction. "Alright, let's go. I'll carry the little one."
After playing all day, the little girl was already exhausted, lying beside them fast asleep.
Ren gently hoisted her onto his back, and the two of them headed back to their hotel.
After spending the whole day on the beach, they immediately took showers once they got back, refreshing themselves.
Their vacation continued like this for a few more days.
Of course, they didn't just stay on the beach the whole time—playing in the same place would've gotten boring.
For the rest of the trip, Ren took the little girl to explore various tourist spots in the city, like the Dinosaur Park and the amusement park.
The little girl even pestered him, asking when the Picca amusement park would finally open!
Seven days later, Ren, looking slightly worn out but deeply satisfied, drove back home with Jada.
