Jiang Ci looked at Hua Rong expectantly and said, "Miss Zhen, how about you come with me?"
These words made Jiang Shishi's face turn ugly again, but this time she didn't make a fuss.
Perhaps they were confident of success, or perhaps they were preparing some big move. Given their smug personalities, the latter is more likely.
So she replied, but the answer wasn't what Jiang Ci wanted to hear: "I can manage on my own."
As it turned out, one person actually left.
Zhen Huarong walked through the jungle, trying hard to find her way, until she reached the beach where she had woken up the day before, and then she stopped.
Only then did she realize that this deserted island was truly isolated from the world, and that it was unknown how many centuries it would be before a ship passed by. It was impossible to leave by taking advantage of a passing ship, which meant that she would have to rely on the mysterious force behind her.
Thinking about this, Zhen Huarong felt a sense of satisfaction. This situation was far too passive, and it didn't suit his personality.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, slow down, I can't walk anymore—"
Just as Zhen Huarong was staring blankly at the boundless sea, he suddenly heard a voice, which seemed to stop abruptly due to fright.
She looked toward the sound and suddenly stopped.
The two people looking over there were similar to her; one was a man and the other a woman.
The man looked tall, handsome, and capable in a simple suit. He recognized him; it was her ex-boyfriend, Lin Kai.
Behind him was a woman in a white dress, none other than his innocent assistant, Wang Chun Chun!
This name... well, let's just say it's ridiculous.
When Wang Chun Chun applied for the firm as an intern, she was clearly unqualified.
However, she liked the girl's innocent personality. However, this "innocent" girl gradually made her move on her boyfriend.
It has to be said that these two are truly a perfect match.
Upon further reflection, Ellie mentioned that she had two Xia Kingdom friends who hadn't appeared yet. Could these be the two people in question?
That's not surprising; scumbags always congregate together.
She didn't greet the two men and quickly walked into the jungle.
"Rongrong, Rongrong, wait for us! Wait for us!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Rong walked even faster.
But Lin Kai was tall and had long legs, so it didn't take long for him to catch her.
She didn't want to be in the jungle with him, lest they attract some mutated beasts.
Besides, she suddenly wanted to see what would happen if she brought these two oddballs back with her, and she was really looking forward to it.
She opened her eyes, pulled away from Lin Kai's arm, and returned to the beach.
When Wang Chun Chun saw her, she called out somewhat awkwardly, "Sister Zhen, I didn't expect you to be on this island too."
Zhen Huarong glanced at her. "Actually, seeing you all isn't something to be happy about. Especially seeing you all together."
Lin Kai, who was following behind her, was at a loss for words when he heard Zhen Huarong's disrespectful remarks.
Because Zhen Huarong's voice was very calm at this moment, no longer as... manic as before.
Zhen Huarong comes from a scholarly family and has always had a good temperament. However, whenever he is involved with other women, he becomes like a crazy woman. Therefore, he is always very tired after arguing with her.
However, he never expected that one day when Zhen Huarong spoke so calmly and stopped arguing with him, he would feel a sense of loss.
"Rongrong, how did you get to this island?"
Upon hearing his words, Zhen Huarong said, "You're the ones who went out to sea with Ellie and Bourbon, right?"
"How did you know!" These were the words spoken by Wang Chun Chun.
However, Zhen Huarong didn't even glance at her, and said to Jin Kai, "I ran into them yesterday, and I guessed there were a few more people..."
As he spoke, Zhen Huarong didn't hold back, since no one knew what would happen on the island next, and these two might be more useful alive than dead.
After reporting what she knew to them, she said nothing more.
"Then take us to that cave," Lin Kai said.
Wang Chun Chun also looked pitiful, "We slept in a cave last night, but it was too far from the jungle. We didn't see a single tree, so it was impossible to survive. It was cold all night..."
As she spoke, her face flushed slightly, and she glanced at Lin Kai.
Lin Kai coughed lightly, his expression growing increasingly awkward.
He's of mixed race and quite handsome; even with that expression, he's still pleasing to the eye.
However, Zhen Huarong showed no interest in the sight. "There's no fire, but you two look so good. You must have slept naked together last night. It's nothing, anyway, he and I have broken up. It's just that kind of thing, nothing to hide."
Upon hearing this, Lin Kai's expression immediately froze.
Yes, they've broken up now, so even if he and Wang Chun Chun have something going on, they don't need to hide it like before.
Wang Chun Chun was somewhat surprised when she heard this, but then she was overjoyed.
Because Lin Kai didn't tell him that he and Zhen Huarong had broken up.
Thinking of this, her eyes brightened, and all her previous embarrassment and even self-blame disappeared.
She did like him very much, but when they were still a couple, she and Lin Kai did not cross any lines.
Now that they're no longer a couple, can she have further contact with Lin Kai?
