188: spa

Time quickly arrived at the team-building day.

Except for a legal sister who had to go home to take care of her child, everyone else from the company attended.

Song Yuan booked a large bus, and a few who brought family members drove separately.

The location chosen by HR was a hot spring resort in the northern suburbs, offering dining and entertainment all in one, situated in a scenic area with mountains and water.

Song Yuan watched the company's bus drive away, then he drove his car to Hengyue Building to pick up Gu Shiyu.

Gu Shiyu brought one department. The Gus system is huge, so it's not easy for everyone to go out together; usually, team building activities are done by separate departments.

Gu Shiyu specifically chose a department with more female employees to join, and even created a group chat called the "Team Building Social Group."

Gu Shiyu was not added to the small group, and the employees were chatting animatedly.

It's said that the reason we could have this activity on a workday was proposed by General Manager Gu's husband. The boss has a double harvest in love and career, and we get to enjoy the benefits too!

Exactly! President Song has visited our company before. He's super handsome, has a great physique, comparable to a male model, and he and our General Manager Gu are a perfect match. They look amazing together.

Ah? When did he visit? Why didn't I run into him? Ah, ah, ah… Do you have photos? Who has photos?

Speaking of which, shouldn't we especially thank President Song for his suggestion? Team building on a workday is simply a god-tier boss. If it were scheduled during the Qingming holiday, my resentment would be heavier than a ghost's!

...

Gu Shiyuan was lurking in both company group chats. Seeing them discussing his brother-in-law, he sat in the back row, looking at Song Yuan, who was driving in front, and let out a dark chuckle.

Then, he added Song Yuan's WeChat to the Gus small group. Instead of thanking him blindly, it's better to say it to him directly.

Gu Shiyuan replied below,

I'll help you add President Song himself. You're welcome...

The group instantly exploded.

Meanwhile, Song Yuan and Gu Shiyuan, sitting in the front row, had no idea they were being hotly discussed by the employees.

Song Yuan drove faster and arrived at the destination before the bus.

The place was indeed as advertised: beautiful mountains and clear waters, with pleasant scenery.

Accustomed to the city's congestion, getting out of the car here felt like the oxygen was much more abundant, the view was vast, and everything in sight was a healing green.

Song Yuan led the siblings forward. There was a small stream flowing down from the mountain, its clear water washing over smooth, plump pebbles.

Gu Shiyu had buried herself in work for the past few years, rarely coming out to relax. Especially in the first year after taking over Gus, her mind was constantly in a state of high concentration, even working on weekends. This is what led to her current ease.

It was only after she got together with Song Yuan that she gradually adjusted the balance between work and life, no longer being a pure work machine.

She couldn't help but exclaim,

"It seems people still need to relax from time to time. I feel very comfortable with my current life state."

Song Yuan held her hand,

"You need to get used to relaxing, used to throwing burdens onto others, like me, like Gu Shiyuan. Learn to be lazy!"

Gu Shiyu highly agreed,

"That kid Gu Shiyuan has been like he's on steroids lately, working incredibly hard every day. It won't be long before I think he can stand on his own. When I give birth, I'll hand the company over to him, and I'll give him some support from behind. It should be fine."

Gu Shiyuan, who was skipping stones not far away, couldn't help but curl his lips. If he wasn't craving his brother-in-law's technology, he wouldn't bother with all these company matters.

The two buses arrived at the destination one after another, and the main group was already in place.

Song Yuan had a generous budget, so this time he booked the entire resort. Only employees from Fengxue Entertainment and Gus were active here today.

After everyone got off the bus, they formed small groups of three or five and began free activities.

There were several hot spring pools in the resort, and many people brought their own swimsuits.

Besides soaking in the hot springs, one could also go rafting here.

The group of single guys from Song Yuan's company were attracted to rafting as soon as they got off the bus, completely forgetting that the main purpose of this outing was to meet girls. Several of them grouped up and got onto a boat.

In no time, a water fight began on the water, with everyone losing their composure, some even dropping their shoes and glasses into the water.

Gu Shiyu was pregnant and dared not play such dangerous games. Song Yuan accompanied her, watching the lively scene from the shore for a long time. Gu Shiyu wanted to go soak in the hot springs.

Song Yuan had arranged for a luxurious suite in the backyard in advance. The suite had a private pool with hot spring water drawn from the mountain.

Soaking in the hot spring in the room, with only the two of them, solved the privacy issue.

The pool had been disinfected, so there was no worry about hygiene. It was for her alone, and he would serve her exclusively.

Gu Shiyu changed into her swimsuit. Song Yuan helped her into the water. After she was seated comfortably, Song Yuan brought a plate of cut fruit and placed it behind her, along with warm water and her phone, all prepared for her.

Gu Shiyu invited Song Yuan to join her in the water,

"Song Yuan, you come in and join me too."

Song Yuan had already changed into his swimsuit. He hesitated for a moment, then stepped in and sat beside her.

The water temperature enveloped her body, bringing a sense of complete relaxation.

However, Song Yuan was tense all over, a little afraid to look at her.

He wondered if it was due to the pregnancy, but Song Yuan always felt she had become much fuller recently. The swimsuit she wore before her pregnancy was almost unable to contain her curves.

Song Yuan's throat bobbed.

"Shiyu, isn't it time to buy you new clothes? Your cup size... has it increased again?"

Gu Shiyu looked down at herself. This is how she grew, there was nothing she could do!

"I've already changed my underwear to one size larger. This swimsuit... I didn't have time to buy a new one. I thought I could make do, but I didn't expect it to be so small."

Song Yuan thought to himself, luckily he booked a room with no outsiders.

Song Yuan, "It was my oversight."

Gu Shiyu rested her arms on the edge of the pool,

"Do you want to feel my belly to see if it's grown?"

Song Yuan placed his palm on her, feeling her body temperature through the thin swimsuit fabric.

This feeling was very magical. Inside her belly were his two babies. In a way, it was like a communication between father and babies.

Gu Shiyu usually exercised diligently; she used to have an hourglass figure.

After becoming pregnant, she stopped intense workouts and switched to prenatal yoga.

Now, when touched, her belly clearly felt thicker.

Song Yuan had read some pregnancy knowledge on his phone. In Gu Shiyu's current month of pregnancy, although the babies were small, the uterus would enlarge a bit. For someone who was relatively thin, the enlargement of the belly could be felt.

Song Yuan's palm stayed there for a long time, as if sensing the babies' heartbeats.

He now eagerly awaited the arrival of their two babies. Then they would be a family of four.

Gu Shiyu saw he wasn't speaking and asked again,

"Has it grown?"

Song Yuan replied,

"It has."

Gu Shiyu, emboldened by her pregnancy and Song Yuan's reluctance to easily touch her, became increasingly bold in her actions.

"Then move your hand up further, and see if it's grown here?"

Song Yuan didn't understand what she meant, so he lifted his hand up a bit. Gu Shiyu then said,

"Not here, try further up."

Song Yuan lifted his hand, but then stopped. Further up... would be her chest.

Meeting Gu Shiyu's gaze, Song Yuan saw the mischievous smile in her eyes.
