(Fourth update, additional update on 9/11 for the 110,000 reward for the leader "Qingcheng Lanyu")

Hearing Ling Zhou's sigh, Qiao Yu felt a chill in her heart.

Was he not going to get engaged to her? Was he going to resist his father to the end? Then what had she just done...

The more she thought about it, the colder her face became.

His aura became more and more intimidating.

As a woman who is used to being strong, a strong princess, she naturally doesn't want to see herself being teased and played with.

Originally, although she rejected Ling Zhou's kiss just now, it was only because of her strong mentality and she didn't want to give in to Ling Zhou too quickly. But in her heart, she didn't resist too much because she thought Ling Zhou had accepted the engagement with her.

But now I see...

Ling Zhou was obviously still very resistant to getting engaged to her.

"Okay, stop thinking about it and sit down to eat."

Qiao Yu looked at him with a cold and complicated look and sat down.

Next, the two of them ate their sumptuous lunch in silence.

During this time, none of them spoke.

After lunch, Qiao Yu wiped her mouth gracefully and said, "This morning, I went to the palace and met your mother, Queen Lan Ling. She asked me to accompany you to Jin Island this afternoon, saying that there is a gift prepared for us there."

Ling Zhou was stunned when he heard this.

Golden Island?

Only then did he remember that his mother had mentioned it when he was having dinner with her last night.

She said that she had dug up some uniquely shaped "natural gold" on Jindao Island and asked me to go and have a look. If I liked it, I could take it to Yintan Villa for decoration. Could it be that the gift my mother mentioned was those pieces of natural gold?

Forehead!

Is there also a share for Qiao Yu for that gift?

However, what he was thinking about at this time was not natural gold, but the 'gold crystal mother core' that he had just obtained not long ago.

According to my mother, there is a high possibility that there are hidden gold mines on Jindao Island. This is a good place to plant the "Golden Crystal Mother Nucleus"! When the time comes, even if there is another gold mine unearthed, it will be easier to explain.

Before, I was still dizzy and thinking about finding a sea area to "plant".

'Planting' in the sea is not a good idea!

Well! Jindao is the best choice.

"Okay! I'll go with you this afternoon."

Ling Zhou said with a smile.

Qiao Yu was stunned. She thought Ling Zhou would refuse.

Soon, she discovered to her displeasure that when she heard Ling Zhou's agreement, she actually felt a little happy in her heart. This made her a little unhappy. Was she caring about him more and more?

Otherwise, why would I be so happy when I heard that he agreed to go to Jin Island with me?

"He was willing to go to Jin Island with me only because of his mother's request. It has nothing to do with me. I should stop being sentimental. This man... no, it's the boy. This boy is a vengeful ghost. Wasn't it because of... that he still remembers me until now? In his heart, he still calls me a scheming woman."

Qiao Yu thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.

Thinking about it, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, arrange a bedroom for me. I'll go and rest first. Call me when you leave."

After saying that, she stood up and walked out.

Looking at Qiao Yu's back, the laziness on Ling Zhou's face faded. He raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and for the first time seriously thought about the matter between him and Qiao Yu.

Thinking about the marriage between the Lanling royal family and the Yaslan royal family.

In the past, he always ignored this matter intentionally or unintentionally.

Now it seems that I should find some time to have a serious talk with my father about this matter.

Perhaps, Qiao Yu transferred to Lanling because she had talked to her father and knew that she could not avoid this marriage.

He vaguely guessed Qiao Yu's intention.

Afterwards, he asked Chen Yiru to prepare a guest room for Qiao Yu.

…

afternoon.

Ling Zhou and Qiao Yu left Yintan Villa and headed towards Jindao on a speedboat.

Jin Island is about 60 nautical miles away from the main island of Lanling.

This is a mineral resource island. The 390 square kilometers of the Golden Island contains a large number of metal minerals. Gold mines are just one of them. Every year, this resource island can bring a large amount of GDP to Lanling.

When they arrived at Jin Island, Ling Zhou and Qiao Yu, who was wearing a white dress, walked down the speedboat side by side, looking around with smiles on their faces.

Jin Island is not suitable for living, so there are no prosperous buildings.

"I heard that the mineral resources in Yaslan are 10 times that of our Lanling?"

Ling Zhou looked around and smiled.

Qiao Yu shook his head and said, "Aslan's mineral resources are about to be exhausted. Our Aslan Kingdom currently has a very low dependence on minerals, less than 10%."

She said with a little pride: "However, the figure of 10 times is inaccurate. At present, Yaslan's mineral resources should be about twice that of Lanling. If it were 10 years ago, it would be at least 20 times higher than Lanling. Of course, what I am comparing is naturally Lanling's mineral resources 10 years ago."

As she spoke, she raised her chin and glanced at Ling Zhou with a hint of pride.

Although, in this marriage, the Lanling royal family took the lead.

After all, Lan Ling is very powerful.

But in terms of wealth, Yaslan surpassed Lan Ling.

Ling Zhou was speechless. No wonder Yaslan developed so fast.

You know, 10 years ago, Lanling's economy was still at its peak.

At that time, Lanling's oil reserves were at least around 1 billion tons.

At that time, Yaslan's mineral resources were 20 times higher than Lanling's.

Taking oil resources as an example, 20 times of 1 billion tons is 20 billion tons.
