Chapter 474: Broke*ss?
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Stepping on Zhao Yanzi’s chest with its back legs, Little White stuck out its red, sandpapery tongue and began licking her small, tender neck intimately.
“How dare you make advances toward the girls!” Hao Ren couldn’t stand it anymore. He picked up Little White by its neck and threw it onto the beach.
Wagging its head, Little White did not seem ashamed one bit.
Its meticulous planning proved its high intelligence. By swimming on the surface of the ocean, it had long reached the deck of the yacht and was quietly hiding behind the lifesavers, all the way until they arrived at the island.
This way, when it finally came out, Hao Ren couldn’t send it back.
“Let’s go; we can drop off our things at the hotel first.” Zhao Hongyu suggested casually.
Now in her swimsuit, Zhao Hongyu looked even younger than usual.
Yue Yang suddenly felt fortunate that Hao Zhonghua did not come with them; men in their thirties or forties would have no resistance to a mature beauty like Zhao Hongyu.
Sticking up its b.u.t.t, Little White dashed forward in excitement.
Close to the beach, there was a five-star hotel consisted of 20 floors. The shape of this building was not cubic like most typical buildings. Instead, it was shaped like a sea snail and was rotating slowly.
With this design, it allowed most of the rooms in the hotel to have access to ocean views from various angles. Moreover, such design had made the building itself an exquisite view of the island, becoming one with the natural landscape.
Following behind her, Hao Ren could tell from Zhao Hongyu’s confident strides that all of the structures on the island must have been designed by Zhao Hongyu herself.
He had been studying architecture under Zhao Hongyu for some time now. The more he learned, the more he realized that Zhao Hongyu’s design philosophy was incredibly profound and unfathomable. Even if she weren’t the wife of the East Ocean Dragon King, she would still become one of the top architects in this world.
“Behind the hotel, there are 52 single-story villas. The small villas can be rented, but they’re not for sale. Their construction is not yet completed, so we’ll be staying at the hotel today. But in the future, this will become a great resort!” Zhao Hongyu explained as she walked.
Nodding her head, Yue Yang admired Zhao Hongyu even more now. Even though she could see how gentle but career-driven Zhao Hongyu was, Yue Yang had no way of knowing that such elegance was a result of a few hundred years of cultivation.
In actuality, Zhao Hongyu thought even more highly of Yue Yang.
The decoration of the five-star hotel was grand and luxurious. The suites that Zhao Hongyu had reserved was on the top floor, and they had the most splendid view of all.
“The girls can stay with us. Ren, you can stay in a suite on your own,” Zhao Hongyu said to Hao Ren as they arrived at the top floor. When she was talking to Hao Ren, she pointed at a suite beside the big presidential suite.
“Sure…” Hao Ren nodded as her lips twitched lightly.
“Such a tragedy… to be separated by them…” he thought.
“Little White is staying with me!” Zhao Yanzi demanded loudly.
“I know, I know!” Zhao Hongyu caressed Zhao Yanzi’s head dotingly.
Even Little White seemed to have a higher status than Hao Ren now. At the thought of that, the glance that Hao Ren shot toward Little White was full of ‘murderous intent’.
However, wagging its tail, Little White looked back at Hao Ren with a little proud expression as it blinked its big watery eyes.
Soon, Zhao Hongyu and the others brought their stuff into the presidential suite, while Hao Ren entered his suite after acquiring the key card from Zhao Hongyu.
Since his suite was right next to a presidential suite, the furnis.h.i.+ngs were also of outstanding quality. Still, it was a lot smaller in size, and it was more like a suite for bodyguards of important figures who stayed in the presidential suite.
Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling window, the boundless ocean was magnificent. The island appeared like a piece of round-shaped emerald, ornamented on the silky blue ocean.
Also, from the view above, the small villas that were in their last stage of construction were like white seash.e.l.ls popping up one by one, very beautifully allocated.
As his swim trunks gradually dried up, it started tightening and hurting Hao Ren’s waist. Since the others hadn’t come out of the presidential suite yet, Hao Ren took the elevator down to the shop on the main floor to purchase a set of new swim trunks.
“Haha, isn’t this my fellow schoolmate, Mr. Hao?” A seemingly familiar voice came from the hotel lobby right behind Hao Ren.
As Hao Ren turned around and looked out from the gla.s.s door of the shop, he saw Huang Xujie standing outside of the shop in his sungla.s.ses and a Hawaiian s.h.i.+rt.
Hao Ren was slightly surprised to see him here. However, he thought back to the cruise s.h.i.+p by the pier and understood that the island was open but in its testing phase; it hadn’t been broadly promoted yet.
Considering the fact that Huang Xujie was the son of the deputy mayor who was in charge of East Ocean City’s economy, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to obtain an excursion ticket to Coral Island. Hence, it wasn’t all that strange for him to appear here.
“What are you getting? I’ll pay for it.” Huang Xujie offered quite sincerely as he walked in.
Hao Ren ignored him. He continued browsing through the shelves for a moment and said, “That black one over there.”
“Yes.” The young sales clerk took out a set of brand-new swim trunks and laid it out in front of Hao Ren.
While searching his body, Hao Ren suddenly realized that he was only wearing his swim trunks and forgot to bring his wallet with him.
“How much is it? It’s on me.” Taking out his wallet from the Hawaiian s.h.i.+rt, Huang Xujie offered again.
If only Hao Ren didn’t know about Huang Xujie’s true nature, he would honestly believe that Huang Xujie was not a bad person.
Nonetheless, he knew that Huang Xujie was merely trying to please him.
At school, Huang Xujie was unable to put aside his pride. But now that there were no other students here, he desperately wanted to become close with Hao Ren, trying hard to heal their relations.h.i.+p. This was all because Hao Ren was the son of Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang, and either one of the two was a big enough figure to shock the East Ocean City.
“No!” Hao Ren turned to the sales clerk and asked, “Can I put it on my room?”
Just as the sales clerk was about to refuse, he saw the golden key card Hao Ren had strapped along his wrist with a rubber band and immediately agreed. “Yes, Sir. You can use your key card and pay for all of your purchases at the end of your stay.”
“Great!” Hao Ren picked up the swim trunks while handing over his key card for the sales clerk to keep on file.
“Huang Xujie, who are you talking to?”
At this moment, a distinctly sharp voice echoed through the lobby outside of the shop.
Hao Ren turned and saw that Lin Li, the girl from Cla.s.s Three from the same program, walking toward the entrance of the shop in a bikini.
Lin Li seemed confused for a second as she saw Hao Ren standing behind Huang Xujie. Then, she said in a slightly upset but charming tone, “Why are you talking to this broke*ss? The room is ready; let’s go!”
Lin Li’s dad was a businessman who worked in the clothing industry.
He owned a big factory and had a.s.sociations with some of the officials in the munic.i.p.al government. This time, Lin Li was able to get excursion tickets through her dad’s connections. As they were on summer vacation, she was ecstatic to be able to get Huang Xujie to come with her.
Although she was shocked to see Hao Ren here, she was immediately convinced that Hao Ren was there for a summer job.
“No matter what type of reputation Hao Ren had been racking up in school these days, he is a child from an ordinary family after all. Maybe he does have a rich relative who lived abroad, had come to pick him up a few times, and even lent him their Ferrari, the money still belongs to the rich relative. Hao Ren might have some fun while riding in luxury cars, but he is still just a commoner,” she thought.
“I want this bikini! My chest measurement is 85!”
Just as Lin Li was walking over to Huang Xujie and blocking off Hao Ren’s view, a clear and resonant voice came around from another corner of the shop.
Hao Ren’s glance traveled through the small gap between the shoulders of Huang Xujie and Lin Li and landed on Zhao Yanzi who was in her one-piece swimsuit. Standing in the women’s swimsuit section and on her toes, Zhao Yanzi was pointing at a green three-point bikini at the very top.
Standing in front of Hao Ren, Lin Li noticed Hao Ren’s blatant gaze and took two steps back. She thought Hao Ren was looking at her and felt that her exquisite body would be a waste for someone like Hao Ren to look at.
As ‘the most popular girl at school’, she had many pursuers in the school, especially those in the Engineering Program. How could she allow someone like Hao Ren to see her in a bikini so easily?
In fact, Hao Ren’s gaze did not linger on her body at all. Rather, he was secretly amused by Zhao Yanzi. This girl came down early to get a new bikini just because she was afraid that Xie Yujia and the twins might outs.h.i.+ne her.
“What are you laughing at…” Lin Li took a few more steps back as she found Hao Ren’s smile to be a little creepy. She glared at Hao Ren furiously and thought, “This idiot! He must be having some perverted thoughts upon seeing my body!’
“Huang Xujie, how come you’re not reacting to this at all!” Lin Li was even angrier at Huang Xujia for being insensitive and slow.
After their final exams, she finally got Huang Xujie to agree to be her boyfriend and to go on this trip to Coral Island, which was not officially open to the public. Yet, Huang Xujie had no reaction at all to Hao Ren peeking at his girlfriend’s body!
At the moment, Huang Xujie had followed Hao Ren’s gaze and turned to look at the young girl shopping for swimsuits.
He did not seem to have much of an impression of this young girl. Nonetheless, this girl who looked quite a few years younger had an immature body that was full of liveliness, and her every single movement was radiating cuteness and youth!
While on her toes and anxiously waiting for the sales clerk to bring out the bikini she selected, Zhao Yanzi suddenly detected the gazes on her and turned around at once.
She first met eyes with Hao Ren, and then she noticed Huang Xujie’s gaze. Instantly, her face was filled with redness. Widening her eyes, she shouted, “What are you staring at!?”
“Here’s the money!” After throwing out a few 100-yuan bills onto the counter, Zhao Yanzi picked up the bikini that the sales clerk brought out and ran out of the shop toward the women’s washroom located by the side of the lobby.
Still staring at Zhao Yanzi’s back, Huang Xujie was blanking out. He usually had no interest in girls so young, but he found this girl who had glowing cheeks to be so adorable and pretty!
“Hao Ren, you are here! I was wondering why you didn’t answer the door.”
Outside of the gla.s.s door of the shop, Xie Yujia said as she started walking over in her two-piece swimsuit.
Upon hearing Xie Yujia’s voice, both Huang Xujie and Lin Li turned their heads around.
Seeing the two, Xie Yujia paused her steps for a bit.
In her black swimsuit, Xie Yujia’s perfect body was beautifully displayed. Standing right next to Lin Li, Huang Xujie was unable to contain himself and instantly fastened his eyes on Xie Yujia.
He had come into contact with Xie Yujia in the school office a few times, but little did he know that Xie Yujia had such a flawless body underneath her usually conservative outfits!
On the other hand, Lin Li who was the self-proclaimed most popular girl at the school was now immensely inferior in comparison to Xie Yujia!
“I bought new swim trunks. Let’s go.” Hao Ren walked out and put his hand around Xie Yujia’s small hand as they strolled toward the hotel’s revolving door.
He could not stand any other men checking Xie Yujia out!
Meanwhile, Lin Li was left standing there in disbelief.
“Did this broke*ss seriously get a beauty like Xie Yujia to become his girlfriend as the rumors said?” she thought.
