CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 180 THIS IS HER PRINCE CHARMING

An Junxi, with her dignity on the line, swore to attach the robot’s leg.

While she was figuring it out, Gu Yikun came downstairs and saw the big and the small messing with the robot in the hall.

This scene was unusually harmonious, for the first time, Gu Yikun felt, why couldn’t he have met her earlier?

Gu Jinxiu saw his mommy fumbling and unable to get the joints right, he laughed like a little fox: "I’m almost done, Mommy, I’m going to win!"

An Junxi was unwilling to admit defeat, she saw that Jinxiu was only one arm away from being done, hurriedly trying all the small parts, but alas, after attaching the leg, it just couldn’t bend. What was the problem?

Gu Jinxiu laughed "hehe" confidently.

An Junxi was about to concede, truly a little schemer!

Suddenly, Gu Yikun came behind her, his arms reached around her, pulling her into his embrace. "I’ll help you," he said.

An Junxi let him take over, Gu Yikun took a few glances, disassembled the part she had put together, picked up a small screw to tighten it, and after a few adjustments, it was done!

An Junxi cheered, "I won!"

Gu Jinxiu didn’t accept the result: "Mommy cheated, how can you let Daddy help!"

Gu Yikun said, "I’m her husband, it’s only right for a husband to help his wife."

Gu Jinxiu pouted, "You two adults are bullying a kid like me!"

An Junxi coaxed him, "Alright, you assembled the most, you won. Here’s a leg for you, so you can finish the last step."

Only then was Gu Jinxiu satisfied, he attached the leg and eagerly tested it with the remote control.

However, under the expectant gazes of the three of them, the robot... didn’t respond at all.

Gu Jinxiu tried to save face, "It must be that the battery is dead."

He asked the servant for a new battery and tried again, but still no response.

An Junxi found the scene a bit funny, though she held back from laughing to avoid hurting the child’s confidence.

She said, "Yikun, can you see what’s wrong?"

Gu Yikun took the robot, and Gu Jinxiu leaned closer unconsciously, focusing intently.

In the past, he never dared to get this close to his father. Since having a mother, his father’s temper had gotten much better, and he started feeling less afraid of his tall, omnipotent dad. Gradually, he dared to stick close to his dad like other kids did.

Gu Yikun discovered a poor contact on the robot’s back and pointed out the problem. Gu Jinxiu corrected it himself, and upon testing again, it worked!

An Junxi and Gu Jinxiu both jumped up, and Gu Jinxiu said, "Dad, you’re amazing!"

An Junxi played with him for a while, and Gu Jinxiu suggested going for a picnic.

The estate had a large golf course, with big trees lining the grassy areas, and Gu Jinxiu wanted to set up a tent outside for camping on the lawn at night.

An Junxi remembered Jinxiu had said he wished they could go camping together.

This child, he could even accept camping on their estate’s lawn, such self-consolation felt inexplicably poignant.

Gu Yikun naturally didn’t want to do something so foolish, but Gu Jinxiu pleaded with An Junxi, "Mom, I really want to camp, we can lay in the tent and watch the stars at night."

An Junxi was sweating, "Isn’t camping supposed to be in the wilderness, with a campfire or something?"

Gu Jinxiu excitedly said, "We can have a campfire too!"

An Junxi’s mouth twitched, Little young master, do you know how much it costs to maintain this lawn? Wanting to start a fire here? That’s burning money!

This was something An Junxi was absolutely not going to agree to, "Starting a fire is definitely not allowed, plus, it’s too hot for camping right now."

She had just returned from the frigid winter of the southern hemisphere to the scorching summer of the northern hemisphere, sudden climate changes could really cause acclimatization issues.

Gu Jinxiu still didn’t give up, "It’s really not hot outside, there’s a breeze."

An Junxi was about to relent, she looked at Gu Yikun.

Gu Yikun averted his gaze, not looking at her, knowing he couldn’t bring himself to be harsh.

Gu Jinxiu continued pleading with An Junxi, "Mommy, I also want to eat something you made, can you make a few things to take for the picnic? I can even bring Daini along."

"Who’s Daini? Your friend in the United States?"

"No, my pet dog. Grandma said I couldn’t bring it back to the country, so I had to leave it here."

"Where is it?"

"Should be taking a bath," Gu Jinxiu went to ask the servant, "Jenny, where’s my dog?"

Jenny said it was in the pet house getting groomed, knowing that Mr. Gu was bringing his fiancée over, they specially groomed Daini.

Just as they were talking, the servant brought Daini over.

As soon as a fluffy white dog ran in, An Junxi instantly liked it.

Daini wasn’t afraid of her at all, as An Junxi clapped and reached out, it ran over and rubbed its head against her hand, whimpering softly.

An Junxi picked it up, "Daini, you’re so cute!"

Gu Jinxiu proudly said, "Daini is the dog I bought and raised."

An Junxi complimented him, "You have a good eye, choosing such a cute dog."

Gu Jinxiu felt a bit proud.

An Junxi said, "Let’s take Daini out for a picnic, I’ll go make some delicious food."

Gu Jinxiu, hands on hips, "Mommy, you’re only agreeing because of Daini? Am I not as good as Daini?"

An Junxi quickly said, "Of course not, I actually feel like camping too."

Gu Jinxiu huffed, clearly not believing it.

An Junxi, holding Daini, sat next to Gu Yikun, "Yikun, how about we go for a picnic this afternoon?"

Gu Yikun frowned at the fluffy white animal in her arms, "I don’t like dogs."

He picked up Daini, intending to toss it aside, but An Junxi quickly grabbed it back, "How can you throw it? It’s so cute!"

Gu Yikun said, "You are cute."

An Junxi pouted playfully, "I’m serious, shall we go for a picnic? I’ll make you some snacks."

Gu Yikun held her hand, "Don’t tire yourself out, let the servants do it."

"So you agree," An Junxi handed Daini to Jinxiu, "I’ll make just a few things, wait for me."

Gu Yikun tried to pull her hand to kiss her, but An Junxi dodged, whispering, "The kid is here!"

Gu Yikun had to let her go, and as An Junxi walked into the kitchen, the servants, already aware they were going for a picnic, automatically prepared mats and fruits. As for the food, the chef made sandwiches, and An Junxi made Chinese pastries, along with smoked meat, salad, and more.

The servants found a good spot under a tree, setting things up, and when An Junxi arrived with the pastries, it was already arranged for a picnic, which really created a nice atmosphere.

Gu Jinxiu ran on the lawn with Daini, training Daini to catch the small ball he threw. An Junxi sat on the mat, noting that there were indeed a lot of delicious things laid out.

Gu Yikun sat beside her, and she couldn’t help but take out her phone to snap a few photos of him. The backdrop was the grand manor castle, making him look like a graceful aristocratic prince.

This was her prince charming!

Gu Yikun extended his arm around her, "Mrs. Gu, are you secretly taking pictures of me again?"
