Yesterday Boss Wan didn't really do anything to Her Highness, that stupid woman, he just ordered people to tie her up and throw her at her front door. After the General knew about this, he locked his sister up, because he wanted to mess with neither the Fang family nor Boss Wan.
But it turned out that his sister was just too stupid to let this go. She took a dozen people to the harbor in secret, found Ying Qingcang's yacht according to her investigation, and then put a bomb in the yacht, watching from aside secretly. Just when she was fantasizing about Ying Qingcang and Xin Qing getting blown up into pieces, she saw a helicopter flew over and hovered above her head, and Young Master Shen calmly jumped down from the ladder.
When Xin Qing arrived at the harbor, Her Highness was hung over the sea, with rocks tied to her feet.
"Hi! Xiao Qingqing." Young Master Shen rushed in to hold her. "Let me see, how come you are getting thinner? Ying Qingcang must be abusing you."
Xin Qing pushed him away. "Why are you here?"
"If I were not here, she would have blown up your yacht." Young Master Shen picked up a pile of bombs from his subordinates and shook it for a bit. "This stupid woman has a whole day to prepare, and this is what she pulled up? What a waste that I came all the way here."
The makeup on Her Highness' face already melted by her tears. Two years ago she was almost thrown into the sea by Young Master Shen. Now she regretted so much about what she did, and she was such an idiot, of course, people associated with Boss Wan wouldn't be ordinary.
"Boss Wan!" her Highness yelled, "For the sake of my brother, please help me. I won't do this again! Please!"
Xin Qing looked at Ying Qingcang. "Are you really gonna throw her into the sea?"
"Dead people are the safest." Ying Qingcang squeezed her hand. "We don't have to worry about this, let's get on the yacht."
Xin Qing nodded, she wasn't a saint anyway. If they let this woman go today, she might take revenge one day.
"Xiao Qingqing!" Young Master Shen looked at her in flattery. "Why don't you take me with you!"
Ying Qingcang glanced at him. "We're heading to New York."
"I have things to take care of, you guys have fun!" Young Master Shen sent them abroad carefully.
The coastline was getting farther and farther, till it disappeared completely. Ying Qingcang noticed Xin Qing was distracted by something. He knew what made her confused.
"It has nothing to do with you, Boss Wan would do it even if we were not involved." "Have you noticed that the General didn't come to rescue her?"
What did that mean? Xin Qing was still confused, staring at Ying Qingcang with her wide eyes. It brightened him up to see her adorable curious face. He held her up and walked towards the cabin.
"What do you want now?" Xin Qing asked cautiously.
"To f*ck you!" Ying Qingcang said shamelessly.
Xin Qing covered her face, and she thought this man was getting more and more shameless.
On the ocean at midnight, there was a yacht moving forward slowly. The sound of the waves, the woman's sweet pant and moaning while crying, and the man's passionate whisper, all mixed together to make a beautiful song.
Xin Qing was like a kitten after a feast, lying on the man's body. Ying Qingcang half leaned on the headboard and fed her the cake in his hand. "The General's power over Malaysia is getting bigger and bigger, but his sister is such a troublemaker. There used to be a clear line between Boss Wan and the General because Boss Wan's real business isn't in Malaysia. Beside the Genting Casino, he has nothing going on in Malaysia."
"Then why does he need to kill her?" Xin Qing bit Ying Qingcang's finger while he was feeding her the cake.
The sensual feeling made the man get hard, he pinched her breasts. "Want more?"
"Ah, I'm so sleepy, let's just go to bed!" Xin Qing yawned on purpose. Ying Qingcang kissed her while biting her lips for a while, then lay still with her in his arms.
Xin Qing asked the question again, "You haven't answered why Boss Wan needed to kill her!"
"He doesn't want her getting too comfortable and rampant in his territory." Ying Qingcang smirked. "Sometimes, it's not that he doesn't pay attention, he was waiting for a chance to eliminate the prey."
When they arrived in France, they chose to live in a house where Xin Qing used to live when she was studying there. Xin Qing went to CK and picked up some files, in the meantime, she took some gigs. Then the two of them wrote and drew on the map to decide that next top they were gonna go to the African Savannah to see animals. Xin Qing thought about Meyer, what a soft and tender man, he used to give her books about African animals. She really wanted to see for herself, to feel that wild, dangerous yet free country.
The Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park was the largest wildlife conservation park in the world. Ying Qingcang hired a local guide, but of course, Ah Che was the one who drove. Xin Qing would see him every time they got on shore because Ying Qingcang never got on cars driven by somebody else.
When they were spending the night at a wooden hut in the safe zone, Xin Qing, fortunately, ran into a baby elephant that just got born. The baby elephant was obviously curious about the light in the hut, so it came over here without letting its mom know. What was more precious, it didn't fear Xin Qing at all. Xin Qing fed him some creamed corn, and the baby elephant was very pleased. If his mother didn't find him and take him away, he would have stayed in the hut the whole night.
Ying Qingcang did something behind the curtain to make Xin Qing able to get into the cub sanctuary. She happily played with a pack of lion cubs, tiger cubs, panther cubs, and even two baby chimpanzees all day. Ying Qingcang sat in front of the tent with his eyes fixed on her. Watching her playing with those lion cubs and tiger cubs just like playing with kittens, he felt so soft for her. He actually thought that his life was completed just by watching Xin Qing. He was getting so emotional that for several times, he just wanted to grab Xin Qing back and held her in his arms forever, not letting her go ever.
When they got back to the hotel in downtown, someone stopped her by the elevator.
"Xin Qing?"Meyer screamed in surprise. "What are you doing in Africa?" Then he saw Ying Qingcang coming over. "You..."
"We are on our honeymoon!" Xin Qing said naturally and gracefully, "And you, long time no see!"
Ying Qingcang saw Meyer too, and nodded at him as greeting. Meyer also nodded and gave his regards. "Mr. Ying, congratulations on your marriage. You see, I haven't prepared any gift for you, I'm really sorry!"
"You didn't know you were gonna run into us." Xin Qing waved her hand without any concern. "Did you study in New York in the end?"
Meyer was about to answer but suddenly changed his expression. He must have seen something, and said in a panic, "Xin Qing, we'll catch on later, I have some business I have to go!" Before Xin Qing could respond, he gave her a hug and left in a hurry.
"What's wrong with him?" Xin Qing asked in confusion. "As if he just saw something scary!"
Ying Qingcang held her into the elevator. "Don't care about other men's business that much, let's just get back to our room and changed clothes, then head for dinner!"
"In the dark alley, where the city lights couldn't reach, where there were filth and trash everywhere, a man was surrounded by some other men.
"The thing? Give it to us!"
The man who got surrounded had blonde hair and some bruises on his pretty facial features. He curled himself up in the corner and looked like he just got beaten up. If Xin Qing were here, she would have recognized this was the Meyer that she just ran into.
Meyer coughed and covered his chest. "How many times do I have to say this till you guys believe in me? I never saw the thing you are talking about."
"He doesn't have it in him!" one of the men said, and then he kicked Meyer.
The man wearing a pair of sunglasses frowned. "He really doesn't know about it?"
"Could it be that he was just passing by, and never saw that thing at all?" Those men discussed for a while. The man in sunglasses said, "We have figured out your identity. Today we'll let you go, but if I ever hear anything bad from you, you won't be the only who has to suffer!"
Meyer got up leaning on the wall. "You guys can believe me, for I know nothing about it at all."
Xin Qing and Ying Qingcang went to Northern Europe for the next stop, and they reached the fairy tale village, which was Santa Claus's hometown right on Xin Qing's birthday, which was Christmas Eve.
"Just like in the movies!" Xin Qing stood in the square of the Christmas village. There was a sleigh pulled by reindeers. In the factory in the back, people who dressed as elves were busy loading gifts on the sleigh. Tonight, the guests who lived here would all get a Christmas gift given by the Santa Claus himself.
"Hey, what do you think he will give us?" Xin Qing was wearing a red down coat and fluffy earmuffs in the head. She was jumping around Ying Qingcang like a little bunny. Ying Qingcang held her in his arms. "It must be some tourist souvenirs, don't get your hopes up, so you don't get disappointed when you open the gift."
"No, I won't! I won't! I don't care about what it is as long as Mr. Santa delivers himself. Please take photos for me when it happens, so I can show Ah Sha!"
At night, Xin Qing was half asleep and half awake. She heard something was going on in the living room. She habitually reached to her back, only to find coldness.
"Ying Qingcang?" Xin Qing yelled in a small voice. She was afraid in the middle of the night.
"Ying Qingcang!" She yelled again, but still got no answer. Then she heard some small noises from the living room.
Xin Qing thought for a second, did Ying Qingcang go to the living room and wait for Santa Claus? So she put on the night robe and ran out in a hurry.
"Nobody?" She looked around the living room. There was nothing besides the shining Christmas tree in front of the fireplace.
Xin Qing swallowed and took a few steps back, but heard the noise from the fireplace getting louder and louder. Then she heard "bang", a red shadow fell off.
"Mr. Santa?" Xin Qing yelled excitedly when she saw who it was.
Mr. Santa got out of the fireplace with a big cloth bag in his hands. He walked over in front of Xin Qing, and then took out an exquisite box from the bag.
"This is for me? Thank you!" Xin Qing thanked him while remembering something. She ran to the bedroom and ran back to the living room holding her phone. "Can we have a selfie?"
Mr. Santa didn't say anything, just nodded. Xin Qing held up her phone and took a selfie with Mr. Santa while holding the gift in her arms. She wanted to wait for Mr. Santa to leave so that she could open the gift. But Mr. Santa just stood there and stared at her.
Xin Qing watched the old man with a white beard and suddenly found his eyes familiar.
