Chapter 459 - Su Yicheng’s “Breakfast”
Luo Xiaoxi was not the sort of timid person who would easily run away from trouble. She kicked the quilt aside vigorously and said, “Right now!”
She washed up as fast as she could and then followed Su Yicheng to the coast.
In the early morning, the sea breeze with salty smells felt mild and pleasantly cool.
Luo Xiaoxi stretched herself, pretending to be relaxed and asked, “What are you going to talk with me about?”
“Xiaoxi.” Su Yicheng turned around to look at Luo Xiaoxi and asked in a calm tone, “How did you feel while being together these days?”
Luo Xiaoxi began to ponder. Those months, Su Yicheng and her had been very compatible.
They worked hard, and when they were at home, they always stayed together and snuggled up to each other. Most of the time they were very happy.
Even if they quarreled, it didn’t last long because Su Yicheng would often seek to reconcile with a sudden kiss, after which they would continue enjoying their time together.
Sometimes, they gave each other surprises, and that made them happy for days.
Days like that were happy for Luo Xiaoxi and she couldn’t deny it. She nodded and said, “I felt good!”
Su Yicheng suddenly said, “After our wedding, we will still be the same as before. It won’t change much. You see?”
It still seemed cloudy to Luo Xiaoxi, and she said, “…Go on.”
“I know what’s worrying you.” Su Yicheng said in a leisurely manner, “Life will change if we get married. But the changes won’t prevent you from living a life like it used to be. After the wedding, you will still be Luo Xiaoxi, and you can do whatever you want. If you don’t want to bear the so-called family responsibilities, you can count on me.”
“…” Luo Xiaoxi didn’t want to admit that she was touched, but she felt warm at heart.
In the past 25 years, her parents had given her complete freedom, and she had been living a carefree life at liberty, thus she was very afraid of being tied down.
However, marriage and family was a kind of shackle, and that was why she became anxious before their wedding, even deserting.
Not only did Su Yicheng not blame her, but also told her that she could count on him if she didn’t want to face or handle the responsibilities.
“Su Yicheng.” Luo Xiaoxi rubbed her eyes, and it seemed that she was laughing and crying at the same time. She said, “I think I am very irresponsible!”
Marriage and family were related to both of them, but she sneaked away at the critical juncture. She thought, “It’s irresponsible of me to do that, isn’t it?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m with you.” Su Yicheng touched Luo Xiaoxi’s head and said, “Go back with me and attend our wedding. The rest is up to me. If you don’t want your life to change, it won’t. But there is one thing we need to talk about.”
Luo Xiaoxi felt a sense of foreboding instead of being moved. She asked cautiously, “What is it?”
“About your leaving without telling me.” Su Yicheng looked more and more serious. “Xiaoxi, we will be man and wife, and we’ll spend the rest of our lives together. If there is anything wrong, you should frankly talk with me, instead of going to a place without me. In case of…” With that, he paused.
Luo Xiaoxi tentatively asked, “What?”
Su Yicheng sighed and continued to say, “Have you ever thought of the chance of you having an accident?” He sounded serious, and worried as well.
Luo Xiaoxi suddenly realized that when Su Yicheng could not find her, he was much more worried and even frightened, other than angry.
However, even so, Su Yicheng didn’t mean to blame her at all.
Thinking about his position, if it were Su Yicheng who had suddenly disappeared and made her worried, she would have lost her temper, let alone talking with him in a calm mood.
The more Luo Xiaoxi thought about it, the more ashamed she felt. She lowered her head and said, “I see. I did wrong.”
Luo Xiaoxi was a tough person who would not easily apologize. Su Yicheng’s anger, which he had been holding back, was extinguished by her rare good attitude. He sounded cold but not angry anymore.
“Just this once.”
Realizing that he had let her off, Luo Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief and said boldly, “By the way, why aren’t you angry? You must think that we will spend our lives together, and anger will destroy us!”
Su Yicheng gave Luo Xiaoxi a cool glance, snorting slightly. He said, “If I get angry each time you do wrong, within years, you will anger me to death.”
Luo Xiaoxi: “…”
She knew that she was in the wrong. She jumped on Su Yicheng’s back with coquetry and said, “Carry me back and I’ll give you a real surprise!”
“Surprise?” Su Yicheng smiled and said, “I think I’d better forget about it.”
Even so, Su Yicheng reached out to hold Luo Xiaoxi and carried her back to the chalet.
Satisfied, Luo Xiaoxi hugged Su Yicheng’s neck from behind while resting her chin on his shoulder. She slightly tilted her head toward him, with her lips and his ears nearly touching.
Somehow she wanted to play a prank on him, so she gently breathed and whispered, “Dear…”
Luo Xiaoxi was not clingy. Aside from particular situations, she had never called Su Yicheng in that intimate way.
Su Yicheng had more or less seen through Luo Xiaoxi. He tried to warn her and said, “Stop it!”
However, Luo Xiaoxi didn’t do as he asked. Instead of stopping, she became even more excited. Su Yicheng could only control his breathing and tolerate it.
Back at the chalet, Su Yicheng closed the door and put Luo Xiaoxi down almost at the same time. Then he pressed her against the door, gazing at her with his seemingly lake-deep dark eyes that were going to possess her and said, “As you wish.”
Luo Xiaoxi raised her eyebrow and gave Su Yicheng a provocative look. “Come on.”
Without a word, Su Yicheng cupped Luo Xiaoxi’s chin and kissed her lips, while Luo Xiaoxi calmly opened her mouth to respond.
It seemed that the two were in a rivalry, and they tangled themselves up all the way into the room…
That was the so-called “giving up their hatred with a kiss.”
What had happened between them before, or what was happening outside then, was none of their business.
At that moment, they only had each other in their eyes.
In the restaurant by the sea.
Except for Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi, the other six people were all waiting for breakfast in the restaurant.
Xiao Yunyun checked the time, wondering that even if Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng were fond of sleep, they should have woken up by then. She volunteered to ask them to have breakfast with them and said, “The more, the merrier.”
Shen Yuechuan tutted and quickly stopped Xiao Yunyun. He said tactfully, “They will come if they are hungry.”
“But they may oversleep.” Xiao Yunyun was very simple, so she didn’t get Shen Yuechuan’s point at all. She said, “I’ll go and wake them up. Anyway, they are not far from here.”
Shen Yuechuan felt vexed, deciding to make himself clearer, then he said, “Today is the weekend. It’s okay if they don’t have breakfast. Besides, maybe your cousin is now enjoying his ‘breakfast’! Don’t go there to disturb them. Just stay here!”
“…” Xiao Yunyun became rather confused—”My cousin is enjoying his ‘breakfast’. What did he mean?”
She thought, “The breakfast at the restaurant isn’t ready yet. There are only my cousin and his wife in their chalet, right?”
With that, Xiao Yunyun suddenly realized something, and her little face blushed at once. She picked up the cup, lowered her head and took a swig of coffee.
She thought, “It’s so embarrassing. I won’t do it again!”
“We’ll go back tomorrow morning, right?” Xu Youning asked with interest, “What’s your plan for today?”
Hearing that, Xiao Yunyun subconsciously looked at Shen Yuechuan.
Although she didn’t think highly of him, she knew that it was wise to follow his advice when it came to having fun, so she waited for him to speak with a longing look.
Shen Yuechuan noticed Xiao Yunyun’s gaze directed at him. He snorted inwardly with pride and waited for a while to enjoy being expected. When he was about to speak, he was surprisingly interrupted by Mu Sijue—
Mu Sijue said coldly to Xu Youning, “You are going to a place with me today.”
Xu Youning asked in bewilderment, “Do you mean that I can’t stay with Jianan or the others?”
Mu Sijue smiled and said at leisure, “Yes. You can’t.”
Xu Youning: “…”
After breakfast, Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi did not show up. Shen Yuechuan and Lu Boyan left with their men. Xu Youning, who thought she was unlucky, could only follow Mu Sijue as he asked.
Mu Sijue took Xu Youning to the coast, where there was a yacht waiting for them.
“Go.” Mu Sijue pointed to the yacht and said, “And, turn off your phone and give it to me.”
“Before that, can I call my grandmother?” Xu Youning said, “I have been on the island for so many days, and I only called her once.”
Mu Sijue checked the time and said, “No, you can’t. We need to hurry. It’s just a call. You can call her after you return.” With that, he reached out to Xu Youning.
Xu Youning pursed her lips and reluctantly handed her phone over.
The moment she handed her phone to Mu Sijue, she felt the phone vibrate. It seemed that there was a call, but Mu Sijue quickly hung up.
Xu Youning almost got mad. She shouted, “Why did you hang up? What if it was something very important?”
“Nothing is more important than what I’m going to tell you.” Mu Sijue turned off Xu Youning’s phone, placed it in his pocket and said, “Get on the yacht!”
Xu Youning didn’t know what she had missed, nor did she know that her family in City G had undergone sweeping changes. Under the threat of Mu Sijue, she boarded the yacht.
Soon, the yacht bore away and sailed toward an unknown direction.
Xu Youning stood on the deck and looked at the boundless sea. All of a sudden, she felt dizzy, and immediately after that, the familiar tingling sensation hit her.
It was like countless knives having been thrust into her head at the same time, and everything in front of her eyes suddenly became blurry as if there were mosaics. Before she could clasp her head in her hands, all the symptoms disappeared.
If that happened only once, she could call it accidental. However, that had happened time and again, and she realized that there had to be something wrong.
Somehow, Xu Youning had a bad feeling.
It wasn’t because of her physical problems. She knew that her life was about to experience a misfortune…
