Ye Wanwan pulled Si Yehan to sit down on the tiny bed. “Baby, come here. Sit down and rest. I got this private room through trick—”
“—um, I mean, it was given to me by a kind leader!” Ye Wanwan corrected herself while beaming.
Si Yehan surveyed the room as he casually asked, “On the island… did you see him?”
Ye Wanwan replied as she started to take out the new clothes from the bag: “Huh? Who?”
Si Yehan paused for a moment before answering, “Emperor Ji.”
Ye Wanwan choked and scratched her head. “Nope, I didn’t see him. I actually saw a friend of mine, the boss of Heavenly Owl, Haitang. She told me Emperor Ji somehow found a method to leave the island already. Before departing, he left a very strange letter for me, but I couldn’t figure out what he meant after trying to decipher it for half a day…”
Si Yehan furrowed his brows. “Emperor Ji isn’t on the island?”
Ye Wanwan nodded.
Si Yehan appeared to have thought of something, his expression darkening slightly.
It was nearly impossible to leave this island with the strength of one person.
He spent a large amount of energy merely to pinpoint this island’s location. Furthermore, the geography around this island was extremely complicated and had a lot of undercurrents and reefs. He only managed to successfully arrive on a ship because he hired sailors with decades of experience and had an elaborate plan. Even so, the navigation was extremely risky.
However, since Ji Xiuran dared to go out to the sea, he most likely had a foolproof plan based on his personality.
Seeing that Si Yehan seemed to be contemplating something, Ye Wanwan was afraid his imagination was going wild again and hurried to switch the topic. “Oh right, baby, do you know who I ran into on the island? You definitely won’t guess!”
Si Yehan knew she was forcefully changing the topic but didn’t expose her. “Who?”
“Your eldest niece, Si Chun… Pah, I’ve been led astray by those people. I meant Si Xia! It’s Si Xia!”
Si Yehan was astonished. “Si Xia?”
“That’s right! He scared the heck out of me when I saw him. When I saw him running toward me with a hoe, I thought he was going to avenge his dad, but that lad knew his dad had no one to blame but himself, so he didn’t make any trouble for me. Otherwise, I would’ve had to go easy on him. After all, in terms of position in the family hierarchy, I am his Ninth Aunt-in-law…”
Si Yehan expressionlessly responded, “No need to go easy.”
“…” Ye Wanwan wondered: Is he Si Xia’s real uncle?
“That lad probably went to go dig holes again; I’ll take you to him later. First, I’ll bathe and change my clothes!” Ye Wanwan quickly took out all the clothes from the bag.
Si Yehan was seriously too considerate. He prepared a whole outfit of clean clothes as well as undergarments.
Although she could find a place with fresh water to bathe, supplies were scarce and she didn’t have any change of clothes.
“Let’s go, let’s go. Come with me to take a bath first!”
“Where do you usually bathe?” Si Yehan asked.
“There’s a pond in the center of the island.”
Si Yehan frowned lightly. “Outdoors?”
“Eh, there’s no other way. It’s already good that there’s a place to wash up in this lousy place. Don’t worry, there isn’t anyone suicidal who would dare to peek… ahem, I mean, Haitang and I were together, so we kept watch for each other. It was super safe.”
Si Yehan didn’t say anything else.
The two of them soon reached the bathing spot and this time, instead of Haitang, her new guard was Si Yehan.
After stripping, Ye Wanwan sank her body into the water and leaned against the rocks on the side. She saw that Si Yehan was standing at a perfect distance and holding her clothes for her as he kept watch, his eyes not straying a centimeter.
Ye Wanwan clucked her tongue. Ey, is my charm lacking?
His eyes actually aren’t straying a centimeter…
At least take a peek…
