Chapter 179: Preserve It for My Beloved
Su Yayan woke up to a series of rough and b.u.mpy jolts. The sky was completely dark, and she could hear the sound of waves.
It took a few seconds for Su Yayan to find her bearings. She gazed at the glittering water not far away.
Recalling what happened before she fell asleep, she could not help the bold guess she formulated in her mind.
Could someone really sell her away?!
“Are you awake?”
A familiar voice spoke beside Su Yayan, causing her to jump in shock. She realized that the person she had placed under suspicion was sitting on the other side.
“What are you thinking about?” Huo Chenhuan moved to face Su Yayan and leaned so close to her that he was less than ten centimeters away. He said meaningfully, “Did you think I sold you away?”
Su Yayan laughed sheepishly and quickly changed the subject. “Where is this? There seems to be water outside.”
“It’s a small island of mine on the outskirts of the city.”
“Small island?” Thankfully, Su Yayan was not drinking water, or she would choke herself. “Why are you bringing me here at night? Are you planning to take advantage of me?”
“Yeah.” Huo Chenhuan openly admitted that he wanted to take advantage of his future wife.
Su Yayan, “…” Did he have to be so honest? Should she cooperate with him or not?
“We’ll talk later. Let’s eat first, shall we?”
Huo Chenhuan held Su Yayan’s hand and led her out of the yacht’s cabin. Su Yayan realized that they were indeed on the edge of a small island.
The surface of the water in the far distance was dark and foreboding.
Fortunately, the beach of the island and the yacht they were on were brightly lit. They had a good view into the distance, which did not feel particularly scary.
The chef on the boat delivered their dinner to them. It was not exceptionally delicious, nor was it poor tasting. Overall, it was an edible meal.
It went without saying that it was quite romantic to enjoy a candlelight dinner with your loved one on a yacht.
However, they had to ignore the relentless sea breeze first.
Huo Chenhuan also seemed to realize the drawbacks of this arrangement. As soon as he finished dinner, he suggested, “Would you like to go and see our manor?”
“Our manor?”
“What’s mine is yours. This island is ours, and the manor on it is naturally ours.”
Su Yayan’s eyes lit up, and she was persuaded. “Okay, it just so happens that I haven’t seen the manor on the island. I will wheel you there.”
“Mm.”
The manor Huo Chenhuan mentioned was actually some distance away from the coast, but the two of them had just finished eating, so they could take this opportunity to take a walk and digest their meal.
“This island looks beautiful.” Although it was night, one could vaguely see the widespread green foliage planted on the island.
The fine sand on the beach must have been selected especially, as it shone like a starry sky under the light. It was also very comfortable to walk on.
“It is impossible that no one would know that there is such a beautiful island. I have never heard anyone say that there is such a beautiful island here.”
Huo Chenhuan saw how much she liked the island, and the corners of his lips curved into a smile. He explained. “This is a private island. It has never been publicized before. Naturally, no one would know of it.”
Su Yayan nodded, expressing her understanding.
If she owned an island, she would not want to make it publicly known either. Her private property would quickly turn into an online celebrity check-in destination for the public, and the tranquility would be affected.
When Huo Chenhuan saw that she did not speak, he turned his head and asked, “Aren’t you going to ask me why I didn’t make it public?”
“Why?”
“Because I want to preserve it for my beloved.”
