The sound of the ocean waves and the melodious chirping of the birds can be heard inside the Xing couple"s bedroom. The two are still heavily sleeping and it seems that they don"t have any plans to wake up yet.

It was already 7 AM and the servants are a bit anxious that the couple was not awake yet. They already cooked food for them and the scuba diving master is also present and waiting for the couple. They were afraid to knock since they are not familiar with the temper of the rich couple.

Apparently, Hongqi booked a scuba diving lesson and trip as their first activity in the morning.

The underwater is very beautiful during the morning and the sun won"t hurt their skin. But it seems that he already forgot about it.

"Have they woken up yet?" the diving instructor asked for the nth time. Waiting was no problem since the rich Xing Hongqi paid him in full for the whole week they are in Maldives. The only problem is the viewing of the fever of stingrays[1], there is a specific time when they appear in the scuba diving site.

"We apologize. The madam was not feeling well last night so they might be resting more." The female servant apologized to the famous diving instructor.

The diving instructor waved his hands and apologetically said "Oh no, it"s fine. I can wait but the stingrays might leave the diving site soon."

Xiulan woke up feeling refreshed. Though she suffered and her body heated up like an oven last night, she woke up clear-headed and rejuvenated. On the other hand, Hongqi didn"t get that much sleep since he has to monitor Xiulan"s temperature. He didn"t dare to be playful since he knew to himself that he won"t be able to stop his l.u.s.t over her. He fell asleep at about 4 AM.

She removes the duvet and walk to the comfort room to pee and took a shower. She was amazed that even the comfort room is beautifully decorated. The walls were wooden and there were plants inside too.

After she was done, she wrapped herself with a white robe and come out of the room. She rummaged her luggage for a summer dress and underwear. While looking for the bag with the underwear, her hands shook when she realized that there"s another bag that she can"t seem to remember that she added it.

She opens this unfamiliar bag and to her irritation, it"s a bag full of s.e.xy lingerie and swimsuits!

"Yikes! Who put this inside my bag?!" She angrily muttered. She looked deeper inside the bag and saw a small note, "I prepared this for you. -your beautiful sister, Qiaohui."

Xiulan quickly shoved the sinful bag inside the deepest parts of her luggage. She can"t believe her sister is trying to be this supportive. She guessed that her sister might be the one who also commanded people to spike her drink or food.

After cursing her sister and didn"t find the original underwear pouch, she went back to the comfort room to wear the dress and most decent underwear she could find inside the sinful Qiaohui"s bag.


Then she brushes her teeth. While she was brus.h.i.+ng, the door suddenly opens and revealed a half-naked Hongqi with only black boxer shorts. His eyes were still shut and he was walking towards the toilet. Without knowing Xiulan is inside the comfort room, he removes his boxer shorts and his cobra down there is already up to its glory.

Xiulan almost chokes on the bubbles inside her mouth. She has to spit it first before she was able to scream at him.

"Yah!!! What are you doing?! Get out!" She was heaving in embarra.s.sment, her face was so red. She immediately covered her eyes with her tiny hands.

Hongqi was alarmed by Xiulan"s sudden shouting and lazily looks at her. "Love, why are you so noisy in the morning?"

"This man... you get out or put on those boxers! Gos.h.!.+" she hissed at him while covering her eyes. The shock of seeing his morning glory after all the s.h.i.+tty things happened to her last night was not helping her current status. Of course, the stimulant was not fully removed yet. The effect now was not that high anymore but her usual dull reactions didn"t come back yet.

She had seen his cobra before when she was taking care of him in the hospital, but it"s a different situation right now.

Hongqi didn"t listen and continue his peeing. Xiulan quickly gargled while her eyes are closed and she dashed outside the room. She kept cursing him and cursing herself for having a reaction. She felt her body heated up a little bit.

"d.a.m.n, husband." She silently and angrily muttered. She fumingly sat on the vanity chair and started drying her hair with a blow dryer.

After half an hour, Hongqi came out with his nakedness again and with only a towel wrapped on his waist. Water dripping from his hair and his naked chess was plump and red from the fresh bath. His six-pack was ready for everyone to drool over.

Xiulan glared at him through the mirror and went back to combing and drying her hair. "Can he be discreet a little?" She silently grumbles.

"What"s with you? So grumpy in the morning." Hongqi briefly gazed at her with a sn.o.bbish expression before rummaging his luggage. He didn"t understand her mood right now. Women are really complicated creatures for him, especially his wife.

Xiulan didn"t bother explaining her grumpy mood. "May I ask what is our itinerary for today?" She asked kindly to change the topic.

Hongqi was pulling out a white mid-length short and a red tropical flower s.h.i.+rt from his luggage before answering Xiulan. "We"re going to a diving site, island hopping, and then snorkel around the sh.o.r.e and then rest. I have a small yacht available for our little adventure. Tomorrow we"re going to hike a small mountain and rest. Then the next day, we"re going to skin dive[2]."

Xiulan felt tired just hearing their itinerary. She hates both swimming and hiking, on top of it all, they will scuba dive to the deep parts of the sea. She might lose her life anytime with these activities.

"Scuba diving? I don"t know how..." Xiulan"s heart suddenly quivered. She"s not on good terms with the ocean and she"s afraid that an unknown monster might pull her legs.

"Don"t worry, I hired a professional scuba diving instructor. Actually, we are late to greet him." Hongqi casually takes off his robe and put on his underwear and his remaining clothes while talking to Xiulan.

Xiulan had to pull away from her sight from him and stared at the skincare bottles in front of her that she arranged on the vanity table. "Is that so? I"m not a good swimmer so you better not pull any tricks on me." She warned him. She thought that this man might pull some naughty tricks at her.

Hongqi playfully sneered seeing his wife"s reactions. After he is finished putting on the clothes, he sneakily came forward to her and purposely scared her by pointing the side of her stomach with his index finger.

She wasn"t able to see him due to her head was bowed down while blow-drying her hair.

"Ah! Hey!" Xiulan gasped and hit him with a hairbrush. "I"m really going to die early because of you!"

Hongqi laughed so loudly, his eyes were smiling too and his dimples appeared. He sneaks his hands on her shoulders and lowered his head to lovingly kiss her forehead.

Xiulan was caught off guard by the sudden sweet gesture and her eyes were glued to the mirror. They were both looking at each other using the mirror. Hongqi gave her a charming and boyish smile before he lets go of her.

"I"m going to greet the instructor. Just go outside when you"re finished." He said and took a small f.a.n.n.y pack before he goes out of the room.

Xiulan"s heart was beating so fast. She heard before that if a man kisses the forehead, it means they respect that person so much. Xiulan blushes a little remembering that odd saying. She"s not sure if she was just sensitive because of the aphrodisiac or her heart really fluttered.

After ten minutes, Xiulan came out of the room to greet the instructor and also to eat some breakfast. She immediately saw Hongqi"s tall stature hovering everyone in the lobby.

"Instructor Dan, this is my wife Xiulan. I hope you can teach her patiently. As I said earlier, I already have a scuba diving license so I"m good to go." Hongqi said and pulls Xiulan closer to him. His ninja hands were on her waist again.

Xiulan smiled and greeted the instructor. The instructor told them that the couple should eat first before he starts mentoring Xiulan.

After the morning breakfast, the couple moved to a black van.

"Where are we going? I thought I still have diving lessons?" Xiulan confusedly asked Hongqi. Add to her confusion, she has a small tote bag with swimsuits and extra underwear and dress. Hongqi told her to pack some since they will be going somewhere.

"We"re going to ride my yacht then you can have your diving lessons." Hongqi nonchalantly said and pull out his high-end laptop. "I"m just going to check something."

Xiulan pouted when she saw Hongqi"s laptop. "I should have brought mine as well." She muttered and she realized that she hasn"t even checked her email since yesterday. Also the forum, she must check what was happening in the IT community.

"You can use mine," Hongqi suggested while his eyes were glued on the laptop"s monitor.

"No need. My transactions are a little bit confidential." Xiulan said and pulled out her phone to check Secretary Dandan"s reports.

Hongqi"s lips playfully curved. "Are you still working with the government?" He probed. He really doesn"t like the idea that his wife has this dangerous side jobs.

"No. I"m on a resting leave until next year from any government jobs. I"m just being protective of my email transactions in case you have data extractor in your laptop." Xiulan said and gave him a suspicious look.

Hongqi laughed while he types his reply to Secretary Yang Bo"s inquiries. He"s really amazed by his wife"s way of thinking. She was really a secretive person. "Why would I want to spy on that?" He tried to play ignorant.

"Heh! You spied on me for so long. Are you really asking that?" Xiulan scoffed at him.

Hongqi giggled at Xiulan"s statement. "I am innocent." He said and gave Xiulan a playful smile.

"Weirdo. By the way, what"s the status of your security company?" Xiulan asked to change their topic. She really doesn"t like it when someone"s prying on her privacy.

"It"ll be up in a year. I still want to make sure I"m going to build the best security company. With what happened with the terrorist attack before. I am aware that the people I hired are still not enough." Hongqi reasoned and showed Xiulan a powerpoint presentation of the headquarters of his security company and the weapons they will use.

"You should ask father for tips. He"s an ex-general after all." Xiulan suggested while she looks at his monitor.

"I did. I already pestered him so much. But it"s still not enough… Now, I want to hear from a national heroine"s point of view on what to add." Hongqi gave her a cherubic smile. He looks like he was really eager to hear her suggestions.

Xiulan gazed at him and felt warm inside that he was asking for her suggestions. She felt proud that a big shot like him was asking for her opinion. In her whole life as a lady boss and works in a field dominated by men, she rarely sees men ask for women"s suggestions. To get out from the scrutiny of men, she created her own company full of women.

"I am not the right person for this but I have suggestions in internal affairs instead." Xiulan started.

"Oh! I want to hear!" Hongqi was obviously interested to hear her opinion. He has incredible respect for Xiulan"s professionalism.

The couple talked a lot things about security internal affairs since Xiulan has been working with the government ever since college. She knew a lot of loopholes and betrayals happening inside. She shared a lot of stories of the side jobs she did for the government.

Hongqi was literally amazed by Xiulan"s job history. For this pet.i.te woman, she was incredibly smart and crafty. She was an IT boss and a hacker incognito for the government. Who wouldn"t be amazed by this? His respect for her might reach its maximum level at this point. A beautiful and clever woman, he really finds it really hot.

When they reached Hongqi"s yacht, Hongqi told her to change to a swimsuit since she"ll be wearing a diving suit soon. He led her to the master"s bedroom inside the yacht and left her to change clothes.

Xiulan took her time inside the room and decided to wear a coral one-piece swimsuit. This was one of the three swimsuits she has in her luggage that was decent enough to wear. She can"t believe that someone managed to sabotage her wardrobe with s.e.xy swimsuits and lacy lingerie.

The coral color made her skin look youthful and bright. The swimsuit was a little small, thus made her breast plump and the cleavage contrasted. This also made her small waist more emphasized. She looks like a vintage Barbie doll with this swimsuit on her. s.h.i.+ny long dark brown locks, pearly white skin, clear big bright brown eyes, and pinkish lips. If no one will ask her age, she may pa.s.s as a soph.o.m.ore in college.

After changing to a swimsuit, she went to the lounging area of the yacht where Hongqi and the instructor were waiting for her.

Hongqi was already wearing a diving suit and was listening intently to the instructor but his eyes were already glued to Xiulan as soon as she laid her white feet on the lounger"s floor.

Xiulan walked to his side and told him she"s ready to wear the diving suit.

Hongqi"s hands automatically landed on Xiulan"s small waist and briefly gave a sharp gaze at the diving instructor to shoo him away.

The instructor smiled at them before leaving. Xiulan was puzzled why the instructor left them.

"He"ll come back when I tell him so. Right now, I must use this moment to ravish this little beauty." Hongqi"s mood suddenly turned 90 degrees and he quickly lowered his head to steal a kiss on her lips. Her mouth was slightly open so his tongue managed to slip inside but it didn"t further travel inside her mouth.

Xiulan was taken aback by his looming figure and the sudden kiss was so random. She was not able to push him away due to his large hands on her waist, pulling her closer to him. She also wants to admit that ever since breakfast and their time together in the van, Hongqi was really desirably charming.

Being kissed by him here in the middle of the sea was quite an enchanting imagery and experience. She"s not surprised by this rogue"s naughty side anymore, but she thought it was nothing to be mad about.

It was not a deep kiss but it was an amorous wet kiss that can make any woman"s heart flutter. He nibbled on her soft lips before he pulls away from her. The kiss was not long but it was not short too.

"I"m sorry; I hope you don"t mind that I kissed you without permission." Hongqi apologized and lovingly stares at Xiulan and tucked her loose hair due to the blowing sea wind. He wasn"t able to control his urge in kissing her anymore. While they were talking inside the van, he wanted to kiss her so badly but he still wanted to hear her stories so he controlled it. But seeing her in this swimsuit, his mind went blank and devoured her lips.

Xiulan stared back at him and seriously muttered "You"ve been very naughty to me ever since. This is not a new thing." She said and smiled mischievously at him but also pinched his arms so he can totally pull away from her.

"Ouch!" Hongqi was surprised by Xiulan"s sudden pinching of his skin and he removes his embrace on her. It was not painful but it surprised him. He laughed when he realized that Xiulan was being playful.

She walks along the railings and looked at the sea below. It was really bright blue and clear. Anyone would like to dive into that.

"What are we going to see down there? Are we going to see some swimming turtles?" She asked before looking at him. She caught him checking her a.s.s and she raised her eyebrows at him. "Stop staring!"

Hongqi only smiled at her and displayed his very charming dimples. He went beside her and he explained. "Big live corals, manta rays and if we"re lucky we might see a whale shark. I"m not sure if there are turtles in this part of the sea."

Xiulan only nodded. "We might see some later on the sh.o.r.e."

"You love turtles?" Hongqi curiously asked. This woman rarely favors on something. Hearing her interests makes him curious and would like to give to her, spoil her and dot on her.

"Yes. They are really cute and interesting." She said and her eyes were staring at the ocean. She was obviously in a deep concentration to spot a turtle.

"Do you want to eat some?" Hongqi randomly asked. Turtles were a delicacy in their country.

Xiulan quickly frowned at him. "h.e.l.l no! We must save the turtles, not eat them."

"They are a delicacy..." Hongqi insists.

"No! Even if you pay me to eat one, I"m not doing it." Xiulan snubbed Hongqi and went to find the instructor. "I"m going to find teacher so I can wear the scuba diving suit. You have been savoring the view too much."

Hongqi smirked at Xiulan"s remark. He went to get her again and lead her to the table where the suit was. He also helped her put on the suit, he was incredibly clingy.

The instructor came back and gave them lengthy instructions and tutorial on what to do under the water with a diving suit. Xiulan listened intently, Hongqi listens but he also meticulously checks Xiulan"s suit in case there are holes or unnecessary broken parts.

Once they are finished listening and did some quick diving tutorial, the Xing couple and the instructor dives into the sea.

As soon as they go deeper, majestic Manta Rays can be seen. Different types of school of fishes were also present from different sides. As they were near the large corals, Xiulan excitedly held on Hongqi"s arms and pointed at him that there are turtles.

She was like a kid who"s too excited to see her favorite animal.

Hongqi made a hand gesture to the instructor that they want to go near the turtles. The diving instructor made an okay hand sign and made a hand gesture for them to follow him.

Since Xiulan has an artsy-fartsy side, her dear heart was overwhelmed by the different colors of the corals and anemones. Weird stuff was moving around but she doesn"t care anymore. It was a beautiful scenery. Add that there were turtles around them, she was on cloud 9.

Hongqi watches Xiulan"s reaction and he was delighted to see her happiness. She was really simple that simple stuff like these could make her happy.
