Cry louder, I can't hear you.

Didn't he want to curry favor with Shen Suwei? Then she would deliberately make him misunderstand that she and Shen Suwei had a close relationship.

"I was with Shen Suwei that night and had never seen Shen Qing. I don't know why his family started slandering me."

"You were with President Shen that night?"

"Yes, we met by chance and chatted for a bit. Mr. Shen and I had a very pleasant conversation."

Yun Qiao started making things up as soon as she opened her mouth, because she was betting that Yun Zhenxing wouldn't dare to question Shen Suwei.

As long as he doesn't ask, Shen Suwei will never know that she's talking behind his back.

"Dad, are you usually very subservient in front of Shen Qing's parents?"

"...What?"

"They're not only rude to me, but they also keep demanding an explanation from you. I don't understand, aren't you supposed to be equals? Why do you always have to give them explanations? They don't seem to be afraid of our family at all!"

"..."

"Dad, why aren't you saying anything?" Pretending not to know he was angry, Yun Qiao continued, "I also heard them say that our Yun family is a poor, run-down family. Dad, are you going to go bankrupt?"

"Outrageous! They're the ones who're truly destitute!"

Yun Zhenxing's voice suddenly rose, and even through the phone, one could hear the barely suppressed anger emanating from him.

"Their family's business in Haicheng has been failing for a long time. They've been trying to turn things around by relying on Suyuan for the past few years, acting like nobody knows!"

"You dare call the Yun family a fallen family? When the Yun family was established in Haicheng, they were probably still hanging around in some backwater!"

Yun Qiao listened to the increasingly out-of-control tone on the other end of the phone, but did not interrupt. She tossed the phone aside and slowly began packing her luggage.

After Yun Zhenxing had finished scolding her, he asked her again:

Where are you now?

"I'm still on the island."

"Why are you still up there?"

"There was a slight mishap."

"What accident?" He paused. "Is President Shen here too?"

"..." They really know how to make connections.

But his connection was indeed correct.

After a few seconds of silence from Yun Qiao, Yun Zhenxing seemed to understand something. He cleared his throat and his tone suddenly softened, "Little Yun, you can play for a while. When you come back, remember to come home. Dad misses you too."

Yun Qiao: "..." How did she manage to say such shameless things without batting an eye?

miss her?

Schrödinger's thoughts.

Yun Qiao didn't argue and obediently agreed. She then took the opportunity to extort 100,000 yuan from him before hanging up the phone.

I originally wanted 500,000, but Yun Zhenxing was just too stingy.

They won't give you even a little more.

Yun Qiao set an alarm for a very early time.

However, for some reason, the driver who took her to the dock the next day was so afraid of death, driving slowly and always saying "safety is the most important thing".

Finally, by the time she arrived at the dock, the ship had already left.

"Young lady, I hope I didn't delay your business?" The driver looked at her with a simple and honest expression, speaking in somewhat broken Mandarin.

Yun Qiao held back her anger and refrained from uttering a curse.

The driver had just left, and Yun Qiao was debating whether to turn back when Shen Suwei's voice came from the side:

"Miss Yun, what are you doing here? Are you also going back?"

Yun Qiao was startled and turned her head to see Shen Suwei and Xiang Lin approaching her.

Thinking about her unfortunate encounter that morning, Yun Qiao's first instinct was that it was Shen Suweiqian again.

She angrily said:

"Was that driver acting on your orders?"

"What driver?"

"Still pretending? If you didn't do it, then why are you here? You dare say you weren't following me?"

"Miss Yun, you misunderstand. I'm here to go back."

"...?" Yun Qiao was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly I remembered that his first sentence was something like, "I'm going back too."

So, he's here to leave the island?

"Miss Yun, are you also planning to go back today? Have you bought your ticket?"

"..." That's really bringing up the very thing I shouldn't have said.

Seeing that he was heading towards the dock, Yun Qiao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking:

"How will you get back?"

He tilted his head slightly and answered patiently, "I have my own boat."

That was quite a domineering statement.

I have my own boat...

Having a boat doesn't make you any special!

Having a boat is indeed remarkable.

Yun Qiao was flexible and adaptable; upon hearing this, her expression instantly changed. She abandoned her previous accusatory tone and, even though he might not be able to see it, smiled.

"Can I come with you?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

"sure."

Yun Qiao really didn't want to stay on this island anymore; she was going to go crazy if she stayed any longer.

Even though she still suspected it was Shen Suwei's scheme, she still boarded the ship.

It's only three hours anyway.

Once they reached land, she was free.

"Has Miss Yun had breakfast?"

On the deck, Shen Suwei asked Yun Qiao in a very good-natured manner.

Yun Qiao didn't want to pay any attention to him.

But she ate snacks last night to fill her stomach, and didn't eat breakfast this morning.

The aroma of delicious food made my stomach rumble uncontrollably.

Shen Suwei pretended not to know and extended the invitation again:

"It's so boring eating alone. Want to eat together?"

Yun Qiao didn't want to hurt her body for the sake of pointless stubbornness, so she agreed again without any backbone.

It was windy on the deck, so we ate breakfast in our room.

In a confined space, even the slightest odor will be exceptionally noticeable.

As Yun Qiao ate, she smelled a strange aroma again. This time, she asked him directly:

"Did you change your perfume?"

I don't use perfume.

"Can you smell anything?"

He tilted his head slightly, as if sniffing the air.

After a long pause, he smiled apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I didn't smell it. What kind of smell are you referring to, Miss Yun?"

Yunqiao didn't believe him.

How could he not be able to stand such an abrupt fragrance, unless he has a problem with his sense of smell, or he created it himself?

"It smells a bit like peach, you really can't smell it?"

"Peaches?" he asked, feigning thought. "There might be peaches on board, Miss Yun. Would you like some?"

"...I won't eat it."

Was this person doing this on purpose?

Yun Qiao ignored him, quickly finished her meal, and went back to her room to rest.

The room Shen Suwei arranged for her was beyond her expectations; it wasn't next to him, and the surroundings were very quiet with few people passing by.

She returned to her room, locked the door, and decided to go back to bed for a nap.

I woke up too early this morning, and now that I've finished eating, I feel a bit sleepy.

The boat swayed gently with the current, like a cradle, somewhat hypnotic.

Yun Qiao had her eyes closed, and her consciousness was slowly sinking into drowsiness when she suddenly heard the door lock click.

She was startled. Who?

I tried to remember, but I couldn't open my eyes or move my body.

It felt like being paralyzed by a ghost.

She watched as the door opened and footsteps approached her bedside.

Her eyelashes trembled with nervousness.

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard:

"Baby."

It is Shen Suwei.

He leaned closer, his breath almost suffocating hers.

Can you hear my voice?

A hand landed on her face, gently smoothing her messy hair before slowly stroking her cheek.

As the kiss landed, Yunqiao heard him whisper:

"Didn't you suspect it was a dream last time? How about we let the baby experience it again...?"

……

(Just in case some people get impatient and don't understand, let me explain in advance: There was no real action. This "dream" is half real and half fake. You can think of the first half as real, and the part where the action happens is a very real hallucination that the female lead falls into because of the drug developed by the male lead. But this hallucination is controlled by the male lead. It's like a kind of psychological suggestion. The male lead can make the female lead feel whatever he wants. It's a bit fantastical, but whatever you want, just treat it as your own idea.)
