Chapter 494 Encountering Pirates
Since we're already here, it would feel like a huge loss if we didn't kiss each other a few times.
Tang Xiaoya tried to push him away, but he held her tightly in his arms with his iron arms.
The more she struggled, the tighter he held her, and the heavier his breathing became.
He seemed to be thoroughly enjoying this cat-and-mouse game; the excitement in his eyes was almost palpable.
Tang Xiaoya dared not move again.
That scoundrel.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Jin had already lifted Tang Xiaoya and sat her on the sofa. He only kissed her and didn't dare to do anything else.
Tang Xiaoya's face turned bright red, and her breathing became erratic.
"Want it, baby? Come with me." He began to tempt her again.
"Get out of here, Yan Jin." She was angry; this man was too shameless.
"It's not shameful at all to want your husband to pamper you, there's no need to be shy."
"Shut up!" Tang Xiaoya said, both embarrassed and angry.
"Bang!"
The first dazzling firework suddenly burst open in the night sky.
Then, one after another, they bloomed with magnificent brilliance against the dark night sky.
It's exactly twelve o'clock.
The fireworks are on.
Wen Yifan's car also arrived.
Downstairs, two top-of-the-line luxury cars came to a smooth stop; he rode in one, and his bodyguards were in the other.
The car door opened, and Wen Yifan got out.
He wore a well-tailored beige suit, which made his figure appear even taller and more slender. His hair was neatly combed, and his face was as clean as a prince straight out of a comic book. He had a gentle demeanor, yet he possessed an undeniable aura.
He held a large bouquet of blooming white roses in his hands and looked up at the windowsill.
"Xiaoya".
Tang Xiaoya subconsciously stepped out.
When he saw her, his eyes lit up, and a gentle smile spread across his lips.
"From this moment on, your day belongs to me."
His voice, carried clearly through the cool night breeze, reached her ears, each word imbued with an undeniable certainty.
Tang Xiaoya was completely stunned.
Yan Jin stood behind her, her eyes flashing.
That bastard, he really knows how to stir things up.
They come at the exact time, not wasting a single second, as if we're in bed.
Tang Xiaoya snapped out of her daze, turned around and went downstairs, giving Yan Jin a warning glare before leaving.
"Don't come out."
Downstairs, Wen Yifan remained in that upward-looking posture, the tenderness in his eyes almost drowning her.
"Xiaoya, let's go out to sea."
He proposed it.
"You'll be able to see the sunrise."
Yan Jin, who was upstairs, listened with a cold smile.
damn it.
He planned for her to watch the sunset, but this grandson took her to watch the sunrise, beating him to the punch!
They really know how to do it.
"Now?" Tang Xiaoya hesitated.
"We'll leave at four o'clock. I'll wait for you here."
Wen Yifan's tone was gentle yet firm.
"Then you should go upstairs and rest for a while."
Tang Xiaoya turned and walked upstairs, her mind in turmoil.
As soon as she entered, she growled at Yan Jin.
"Get out of here right now!"
Yan Jin leaned back lazily on the sofa and shrugged.
"Those are all Wen Yifan's men down there. How am I supposed to get out? Fly down?"
He acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
"I have no choice but to stay here for a few hours."
Tang Xiaoya was so angry she wanted to hit someone.
"Then get off the balcony and squat outside. Don't show your face in my sight!"
"Can."
He agreed very readily, actually got up and went out onto the balcony, and thoughtfully closed the glass door behind him.
Tang Xiaoya had no energy to pay attention to him anymore, so she took off her outer robe and went straight to bed.
She can only get less than four hours of sleep.
This is terrible.
Four o'clock in the morning.
"Knock knock knock".
A soft knock sounded on the door.
Tang Xiaoya suddenly opened her eyes, only to find herself nestled in a warm embrace.
Yan Jin?
When did he come up?
She even clung to him like an octopus.
That shameless bastard!
Just as she was about to struggle, his kiss landed, silencing any gasps she was about to utter.
Their lips and tongues intertwined, carrying the unique languor of the morning and an undeniable force.
She dared not make a sound, for fear that the person outside the door would hear her.
The thrill of this affair sent shivers down her spine.
“Yan Jin…” she squeezed out his name through her teeth between kisses.
"My husband is here."
He whispered in her ear, his voice husky and sexy.
Have a good time and come back safely.
Tang Xiaoya was so angry that she kicked him.
He grasped her snow-white ankle precisely, where the skin was delicate and sensitive.
He lowered his head and placed a burning kiss on her ankle with his thin lips.
Tang Xiaoya felt a surge of electricity run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her bones feel weak.
She quickly pulled her foot back, her cheeks flushed red.
She cleared her throat and called out towards the door.
"Brother Yifan, I...I'm changing my clothes, I'll be done soon."
After saying that, he grabbed a set of clothes and rushed into the bathroom as if he were fleeing.
She practically ran downstairs.
Inside the car, Wen Yifan noticed that her complexion wasn't good, and there were faint bluish tinges under her eyes.
"If you're still sleepy, you can lean on my shoulder and take a nap."
His voice was full of concern.
"I'll call you when we get to the port."
"Need not."
Tang Xiaoya forced herself to stay awake and shook her head.
The car sped along and finally arrived at the port as dawn broke.
A beautiful private yacht is quietly moored on the shore.
Once on the ship, as soon as my tense nerves relaxed, drowsiness overwhelmed me.
Tang Xiaoya leaned back on the deck chair and fell asleep without realizing it.
Wen Yifan took off his suit jacket and gently draped it over her.
He squatted down beside her, quietly watching her sleeping face.
The sea breeze lifted a few strands of her hair and brushed against her smooth cheeks.
So beautiful.
In that remote fishing village, the moment he first saw her, he etched the girl into his heart.
To be where he is today, to be able to stand openly before her, he fought desperately for three years.
This time, he definitely won't miss it again.
He reached out to touch her face, but his fingertips stopped in mid-air. In the end, he simply tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
He called her softly after an unknown amount of time.
"Xiaoya, wake up."
Tang Xiaoya opened her eyes groggily.
The next second, she was completely shocked by what she saw.
A red sun is slowly rising from the horizon, its golden rays bathing the entire sea surface, creating a shimmering, magnificent, and beautiful scene.
The whole world was bathed in a warm orange-red hue.
It's so beautiful.
"Xiaoya, your appearance is like a ray of light in my life."
Wen Yifan's voice rang in her ear, gentle and sincere.
"For the past three years, I have tried my best, hoping that one day I can be worthy of you. Please give me a chance to take care of you for the rest of my life."
Faced with such breathtaking scenery and hearing such a heartfelt confession, Tang Xiaoya's heart was somewhat unsettled.
She never imagined that her brother Yifan would have such feelings for her.
"Brother Yifan, I..."
"Don't rush to answer, I'll give you time to think it over." Wen Yifan was very considerate, and he gently rubbed her head with his large hand.
With enough appreciation.
"Yes." She nodded, once again awestruck by the magnificent seascape.
Before long, Wen Yifan brought over a bowl of steaming fish soup.
"I just cooked it, have a taste."
The fish soup was delicious, and the warmth spread from my stomach to every part of my body.
He sat beside her, chatting with her about all sorts of interesting things, including his plans for the future.
I want to take you all over the world.
He gazed at the distant sea, his eyes sparkling with longing.
"Just the two of us, in one boat, to see all the beautiful scenery."
He was gentle, like a sea breeze, yet possessing a powerful and assertive force that commanded respect, unlike Yan Jin who was domineering and sharp.
This was the first time Tang Xiaoya had felt how good he was.
Not far away, two ships slowly approached...
A drone was monitoring everything, and soon the footage was transmitted to Yan Jin's phone.
They were his six mischievous brothers.
Today, it seems they had a mission at sea; instead of catching the thief, they caught two people having an affair.
Yan Jin looked at the two people on the screen, his eyes darkening. There were still 17 hours left. He endured it.
...
Meanwhile, inside the Southern Gang's mansion, Shen Xin arrived with Wen Youyou. Today, Nan Wan had actually invited them to have breakfast together.
Wen Youyou was dragged out of bed by Shen Xin at seven in the morning.
"Go to the appointment."
He was concise and to the point.
She was still confused at the time. She had seen people invite others to lunch or dinner, but who invites someone to breakfast so early in the morning? What kind of new social interaction is this?
But as soon as she heard it was "Sister Nan's" invitation, she instantly sprang into action.
The bodyguard led the two through the courtyard and into the restaurant.
Nan Wan and Lu Qinglin stood side by side, one gentle and the other composed. Their every gesture exuded the tacit understanding that comes with the passage of time, and their affection was the envy of all.
"Cousin, cousin-in-law." Shen Xin stopped and greeted them politely.
"Sister Nan, Brother Lu," Wen Youyou greeted them sweetly.
"Sit down." Nan Wan nodded to them, gesturing for them to sit at the dining table.
The butler understood and immediately instructed the servants to start serving the meal.
As the plates were served one by one, Wen Youyou stared wide-eyed.
This isn't breakfast, it's practically an art exhibition.
The table was laden with exquisite desserts, each themed around a different flower, each uniquely shaped and crafted with ingenuity.
The peony pastry has layers upon layers of petals as thin as cicada wings, as if they would scatter with a gust of wind.
The jasmine cake was made into a bud about to bloom, and it was decorated with glistening "dewdrops".
The entire restaurant was filled with the sweet aroma of flowers and food, so beautiful it made one's heart flutter.
"This is the famous Hundred Flowers Banquet in Sunshine City. Many of the carving techniques are almost lost." Nan Wan's voice was filled with laughter. "It's rare to have a successor of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so I specially invited you all to come and try it out."
Wen Youyou's eyes widened, and she leaned over the table.
"Sister Nan, this is so beautiful!"
"I feel like I can't bring myself to eat it, it's simply a work of art!"
She carefully picked up a magnolia-shaped pastry, which was crystal clear and had clearly visible petal veins inside.
She held up her chopsticks, examining them from all angles, her face full of amazement.
"How about I try it for you?" Shen Xin couldn't help but tease her, seeing her blissful, naive expression.
"Dream on, I'll do it myself."
She brought the pastry to her lips and tentatively took a small bite.
The sweet and soft texture melts instantly on the tongue, with a delicate orchid fragrance wrapped in its sweetness. It's not cloying at all, and it's so delicious that she wants to stomp her feet.
"It's so delicious!" Wen Youyou couldn't help but exclaim, quickly taking out her phone. "No, I have to take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments first, to make them drool!"
Seeing her lively demeanor, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much more relaxed.
Lu Qinglin elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth and turned his gaze to Shen Xin.
“Chen Xin”.
His voice was flat.
“You have taken good care of Youyou over the past three years, and she has successfully been admitted to university.”
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"You can retire now."
Shen Xin's hand holding the chopsticks froze, and he nervously put down his utensils. "What does cousin mean?"
“Youyou can move out of the Shen family now.” Lu Qinglin smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. “From now on, she is no longer your responsibility. You can be free.”
Shen Xin's heart sank suddenly, feeling somewhat disappointed.
He looked at Wen Youyou and said calmly, "As long as she likes it, she can live in the Shen family forever."
"Our Shen family won't miss a single bite of food from her!"
Nan Wan took a leisurely sip of tea and continued the conversation, "From now on, Wen Yifan will take care of her."
Wen Youyou also put down her chopsticks and said softly, "I'll be going to university in a month. Anyway, I'll be moving out of the Shen family's house and living on campus."
These words made Shen Xin's face turn completely ugly.
What's going on? He felt this was a trap.
Just as the atmosphere froze to freezing point, a bodyguard rushed in looking flustered.
"Something terrible has happened!"
"President Wen accompanied the Second Miss on a sunrise cruise, but they encountered pirates and the ship was attacked!"
One sentence stunned everyone present.
pirate?
Sunlight City hasn't seen the word "pirate" for almost twenty years.
This luck is just unbelievable.
"I'm going to save my brother!" Wen Youyou jumped up...
