Chapter 65: Hot Spring Trip
"Hot spring travel" sounds very comfortable and relaxing, but in fact it is nothing more than finding a hotel or B&B with a beautiful environment and pleasing style to relax.
The relationship between Kong Nanzhu and Qin Qi was neither hot nor cold these two days, and could only be barely considered harmonious. Except for the three meals a day when the two of them could have a few words at the table, Kong Nanzhu locked himself in the workshop the rest of the time.
When going to bed at night
There was contact, but no communication.
On the one hand, Kong Nanzhu was angry and needed time to digest it and accept that she might need to give up her own planned blueprint and stay by Qin Qi's side to be a qualified and competent wife. On the other hand, she was looking forward to the rare trip and did not want to waste their time together on quarrels with known outcomes.
So far, Kong Nanzhu has not done anything that goes against Qin Qi's wishes.
After struggling for a while, she will still agree to Qin Qi's request and choose the path that Qin Qi wants her to choose.
Qin Qi knew that she was in a bad mood, so he made careful preparations for the trip so that he could take this opportunity to coax her into good spirits.
After a two-hour drive from the city, they arrived at a high-end courtyard-style hot spring resort homestay in Yanqing District.
On the way, Qin Qi kept talking about changing Kong Nanzhu's car, and listed many car models priced around one million. Kong Nanzhu didn't understand many of the professional terms, as her understanding of cars was limited to the explanation and introduction given to her by the salesperson before the purchase.
"There is no need to change the car for the time being. I just use this car for transportation."
Qin Qi disagreed, his eyebrows slightly raised under his sunglasses, "Price and performance are always proportional. If you want to drive, drive a more comfortable car. This car doesn't match your status. You are my wife, and I also plan to buy a car this year. We can buy the same model."
Kong Nanzhu didn't think too much about it. After Qin Qi said that, he felt a little embarrassed.
The wife of a movie star actually drives a car worth over 200,000 yuan to go shopping, as if he is reluctant to spend money on his woman.
Qin Qi always appears to be much more mature and stable than his peers, but in fact he is just a 22-year-old senior student, who is very vain.
Kong Nanzhu recalled that during the Yayun press conference, he asked a well-known designer to tailor an evening dress for her in advance, just to amaze the audience and enjoy the overwhelming satisfaction.
Look, this is his wife.
"I plan to take you to pick up the car on your birthday." Qin Qi drove the car and observed Kong Nanzhu's expression with his peripheral vision. "You can choose any of the models I just mentioned."
Kong Nanzhu nodded and clasped his rhinestone-covered phone case tightly with his fingers.
At certain moments, Kong Nanzhu would suddenly realize that there were some differences in concepts between herself and Qin Qi. Having both grown up in a wealthy environment, she thought that her consumption concept could be considered extravagant . However, compared with Qin Qi, who was in the entertainment industry, the money she spent on skin care products, cosmetics, and clothes was at most a small amount.
But the problem is that Qin Qi can earn money himself, so he can spend it with a clear conscience.
She couldn't earn that much and couldn't afford such a lavish expenditure. She also didn't want to use the assets left to her by her parents casually. The reward earned through hard work and the gift from her parents felt completely different when used.
This is also the root of Kong Nanzhu's struggles these days. She has been trying to become a strong woman like Shen Jun who can stand on her own. Facts have proved that she has the opportunity and ability to continue, but it's a pity that Qin Qi is unwilling to support her.
Kong Nanzhu never expected that at the age of 24 she would have to face such an old-fashioned problem as how to balance family and career.
What's worse is that she doesn't know what to do and doesn't know the answer to this question.
The Spring Festival holiday is the peak period for this type of entertainment venue. Qin Qi used some special channels to secure the most luxurious private hot spring villa in this homestay.
The hot spring pools are divided into indoor and outdoor types, with completely different shapes and styles. The outdoor hot spring pool is matched with the green pines and bamboos in the courtyard, giving it a lazy Japanese atmosphere, while the indoor one is in black and quiet marble style, which is extremely luxurious and equipped with a water column switch for shoulder and neck massage. It is an excellent design whether for taking photos or taking a bath.
As soon as Kong Nanzhu entered the door, she was attracted by the landscaping in the courtyard. Qin Qi saw the surprised expression on her face and said softly, "We will spend two wonderful and pleasant days and nights here. This is such a rare opportunity. Let's enjoy the holiday and not talk about unpleasant things, okay?"
Kong Nanzhu cheered up and smiled as a response to him.
She thought so too, at least to leave some good memories during the rare vacation time.
Qin Qi grabbed Kong Nanzhu's hand and pulled her into the room. Pushing open the chic iron door, they were greeted by a spacious and bright retro-style living room, as well as a flower wall decorated with red and white roses.
Red roses are used as the main color, and white roses are pieced together to form a row of exquisite and unique English letters:
"You mean the world to me, nannan".
"Do you like it?"
Qin Qi had been paying attention to Kong Nanzhu's reaction. Seeing that her eyes were as bright as the intoxicating stars and the atmosphere was just right, he lifted Kong Nanzhu's hand at the right time and kissed the ring on her ring finger.
This was the flower wall Qin Qi had specially customized for her. Kong Nanzhu smiled brightly and said honestly, "I like it very much."
Qin Qi seemed to feel that Kong Nanzhu's reaction was a little dull, which was different from the ecstatic expression he had expected. However, he finally saw a smile from the heart on Kong Nanzhu's melancholy face, and Qin Qi felt relieved.
Qin Qi kissed Kong Nanzhu's soft lips and felt Kong Nanzhu's gentle and proactive response. Qin Qi felt that it was worth spending more than 10,000 yuan to set up such a happy thing.
"Do you want to go take a bath first, or take a walk around the B&B?"
Feeling a little tired from the car ride, Kong Nanzhu chose to go take a hot spring bath first.
Of course Qin Qi would not allow her to stay in the hot spring alone. In the romantic atmosphere of rose petals and aromatherapy essential oils, they enjoyed an unforgettable bath together.
This time, bathing in the hot spring did not relieve her fatigue. Instead, Kong Nanzhu felt even more tired after being tossed around in the water several times. However, in such a sweet and affectionate atmosphere, she felt extremely relaxed and was able to temporarily forget the gloom she had been feeling for days.
The two of them lay on the 2.2-meter-long bed. Qin Qi hugged Kong Nanzhu tightly from behind. The two of them together only took up the width of a pillow. Qin Qi kissed the back of Kong Nanzhu's neck from time to time, addicted to her scent.
They had clearly just used the same essential oil, but he could still smell the unique fragrance of Kong Nanzhu.
"I want to hold you in my arms as I sleep every day. I have never had insomnia when I am with you."
Kong Nanzhu felt the restless changes in a certain part of Qin Qi's body behind her and wanted to move away from him. However, her waist was tightly held by Qin Qi's strong and powerful arms. Her struggle to move turned into a teasing rubbing. Qin Qi turned over and pressed her under him, with his long legs spread out on both sides of her body.
Kong Nanzhu leaned against his burning chest. The burning temperature made her feel uneasy. If she really let him do whatever he wanted, they probably wouldn't leave the bed for the next two days, and their good time would be wasted. "No... I can't come again. It's almost lunch time and we still have to clean up..."
"Someone will come to deliver the food at twelve o'clock. I have arranged everything ." Qin Qi stared into Kong Nanzhu's eyes, which were filled with a gentleness and charming emotion that could drown people. "Believe me, you don't need to think so much when you are with me."
Before coming, Kong Nanzhu actually secretly did some research. She thought that there was a very famous barbecue restaurant nearby, and many people commented that the taste was excellent. Maybe they could go and try it together.
After Qin Qi said this, Kong Nanzhu realized that they probably couldn't walk around the nearby scenic spots at will, so as not to be recognized and photographed by someone with ulterior motives.
Qin Qi planned all the itineraries in advance, and was considerate and thoughtful. She had no complaints, just a slight regret.
