He gazed intently at her small face, which shimmered with a hint of arrogance, his eyes deep and captivating. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer with unwavering determination. His eyes were fixed on her alluring red lips, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. Under her haughty gaze, he lowered his head and kissed her.
The sunset quietly faded into the horizon, the moon slowly rose from the horizon, seagulls flapped their wings and flew higher and higher until they disappeared into the night. Apart from the sound of the rolling waves, all that could be heard was the noise of their hearts pounding.

Night fell, and countless stars adorned the dark, boundless sky. All around was quiet, with the occasional sea breeze rustling through the treetops and the cries of birds echoing in the air.
Su Yuxi nestled in Fu Huaijin's arms, clutching a bottle of hot water. Beneath them was a makeshift swing chair, and their shadows stretched and shortened on the ground as the chair swayed.
"Do you like it here?" Fu Huaijin squeezed her soft, delicate little hand, gazing at the vast starry sky, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. In the past, he had never imagined that one day he could sit in a rocking chair under the starry sky with the person he loved, enjoying this tranquility.
Su Yuxi nodded: "It's alright." Quiet, secluded, a private territory where no one else can come in, it couldn't be better.
Fu Huaijin looked down at Su Yuxi's face and saw the contentment on her face. His tone unconsciously softened: "How about I give it to you?"
"Huh?" Su Yuxi jumped up from his arms, looking at him with surprise: "Really? How much is this island worth?"
Can it be resold?
Fu Huaijin was speechless. This thing hadn't even been given away yet, and its future owner was already planning to sell it.
"You love money that much?"
Su Yuxi keenly noticed a hint of anger in Fu Huaijin's tone and realized that her question just now was indeed a bit inappropriate.
She was always flexible and adaptable. Although she confidently replied to him that she was indeed short of money, she immediately grabbed his arm, put on a smile, and said, "No, no, I was just asking casually. It's a habit. I won't sell it. I definitely won't sell the one you gave me."
We'll talk about it once we get our hands on the item; whether or not to sell it later is up to her, the owner.
hey-hey.
Fu Huaijin gently tapped her head: "It can't be sold, it can only be used for living."
Su Yuxi received an unfriendly reply, and her newly revived thoughts instantly withered.
"You want lots and lots of money?"
Su Yuxi rolled her eyes at him. Wasn't he just asking a question he already knew the answer to?
Fu Huaijin touched the box in his pocket, his heart skipped a beat, and after thinking for a moment, he still took out a red velvet box from his pocket: "If you want lots and lots of money, you can marry me."
He hadn't originally intended to do this, but that hug in the sea and her haughty little expression stirred a strange impulse that made him make up his mind.
Su Yuxi was taken aback by his words, her face stiffened slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. Seeing that there was no hint of joking in his eyes, and that everything was already prepared, she immediately sounded an alarm in her mind: "Are you out of your mind? We've only been dating for a short time."
Has it been a month, all told?
What's wrong with this man now?
Fu Huaijin scoffed: "So what? Don't you know there's a term called 'flash marriage'?"
Su Yuxi chuckled twice, quietly released his arm, and moved her buttocks a little further away from him: "You're quite trendy."
Isn't he afraid of scaring people to death by acting so suddenly? Or does he think that if he brings her to this deserted island, she has to agree to his demands?
Is she the kind of person who would compromise when threatened?
Hmph...definitely not.
Seeing that she didn't resist the topic, Fu Huaijin decided to seize the opportunity and press on: "How about it?"
"No." Su Yuxi pursed her lips and refused outright, leaving no room for negotiation. Ha... trying to fool her.
"Fifty billion in betrothal gifts." Fu Huaijin's voice was soft, yet it was like a thunderclap.
Su Yuxi's heart skipped a beat, then pounded violently, unable to calm down: "Fifty billion...."
She was suddenly tempted; he must have given her too much.
That's 5 billion, 5 billion that could save you many years of hard work.
"Hmm, will you marry me?"
Su Yuxi did not answer immediately. She looked down at her toes, biting the edge of her nails, lost in thought.
Five billion. She currently has seven hundred million in cash flow in her account. The jewelry is conservatively estimated to be worth three hundred million. The medicinal herbs haven't been sold yet, but they are estimated to be worth about three hundred million as well.
The house is worth about 500 million.
Then she would have 1.8 billion.
The gold mine has an annual output value of 500 million yuan. This man can give her 300 million yuan a year from various other sources, so that's 800 million yuan a year. If she also tries to squeeze out a little more from other sources, she can still make at least 900 million yuan.
If things continue at this rate, it will take her eight years to accumulate 10 billion.
If she accepts the 5 billion, she might only need 3 years.
Three years have passed, and the road home seems so close now.
Moreover, if they really get married, they will definitely have to hold a banquet, and the gifts from those people will amount to at least several hundred million.
Su Yuxi was extremely conflicted. She secretly glanced at the man's expression and asked weakly, "Um... can I just take the money?"
Fu Huaijin was amused by her undisguised greed. He curled his long fingers and gave her a heavy, resounding slam: "What are you dreaming about?"
Su Yuxi gasped softly, clutching her head in pain with both hands. She tried to run away, but the man pulled her back.
She could only glare at him fiercely, scolding him for his heartlessness: "How could you do this! You've already got bumps."
What a stinky man.
So, are you going to agree or not?
Su Yuxi snorted lightly, then asked the most important question: "Will I get a share of the money you earn in the future?"
Isn't it said that money earned by both spouses after marriage is considered joint property?
No, then shouldn't she also give him half of her own money?
"How much money do you earn in a year?" It would be fine if you earned more than her, but if you earned less, wouldn't she be at a huge loss?
Fu Huaijin did not answer, but instead gave another answer: "If you agree to marry me, I will give you another five billion in three years."
Three years should be enough.
She needs 10 billion, and he can eliminate them all in three years, or perhaps not even three years.
Su Yuxi nimbly leaped and sat on his lap, cupping his face in her hands and meeting his gaze with burning intensity: "Are you sure?"
Three years! That's a sure thing for 10 billion yuan. What could be more appealing than being able to go home in three years?
Fu Huaijin also raised his broad, warm hand and gently placed it on her cheek. Her fair and smooth face was like the most delicate porcelain in the world, making it irresistible to touch.
The answer to her was an unwavering and resolute reply: "Yes."
He might not even need to wait three years; he just wanted to make this woman completely his during this limited time, so that she could become the last splash of color in his life.
