Chapter 116.2 The Su Family’s Island (2)
After the auction ended, the lot of them walked to a private room in a restaurant. They had just taken a few steps when they ran into Feynan, who seemed to have been looking for Su Yanyi.
“Miss, the Thiers family is holding a mini banquet today at the Emperor Hall. My father specially ordered me to deliver an invite to the both of you in the hopes that you will attend.” Feynan said courteously as he presented the invitation card, not at all like the foppish brat he had been yesterday. When he acted like a human, he really did seem to have that bit of a gentleman’s aura.
“Thank you, but I already have a prior appointment. If we have a chance in future then let’s meet then.” Su Yanyi said with a coldly, not accepting the invitation.
Feynan frowned. He was somewhat surprised and also not very happy. This was the first time someone had refused the Thiers family so directly, but he obviously didn’t have the right to throw a tantrum. After they had gone back last night, he had been thoroughly lectured by his father. If he made another mistake today, his position as the heir probably wouldn’t be too stable. He wasn’t the only one with Thiers blood after all.
“Then if there’s a chance later on let’s meet again. If the two of you visit Europe in future, the Thiers Castle will always be available for you to stay.” Feynan didn’t pester them any further, leaving after he said that last line.
Since Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran had already decided the previous night to visit the mysterious ocean, they had prepared even prepared jackets in case it was cold.
“If you like it, we can visit more often in future.” Qin Jiran gently said beside Su Yanyi’s ear. Under the tranquil night sky and on the mysterious yet grandiose ocean, the two people were huddled together closely.
“Okay.” She did like this kind of peace and tranquillity at the ocean under the starry sky, but she liked it all the more because of the company, as if no matter where they went it felt like home.
Early the next day, Su Yanyi’s group sat on a plane leaving the Banquet. Su Yanyi fulfilled her promise and brought Qin Jiran to visit the Su family’s arms factory which was also on a small island close to the Su family’s private islands. They conveniently arranged their next destination which was to the Su family’s base after the visiting the arms factory. That island really was very beautiful.
Actually, the island the arms factory was on could also be considered a part of the main base. These two islands were typical of mother-son islands. This was perhaps the reason the Su family had chosen this island as part of the main base long ago.
Since it was the Su family’s base and there was an arms factory, it was naturally an existence of top priority and security was extremely tight. When they had gotten off the plane, there had been a private soldier wearing camouflage who walked over. In the surroundings not far away, there were also people standing guard. It was just like a militarised area, like walking into a military camp or maybe even stricter.
“Welcome to the island, Elder Miss and Master Son-in-law.” The moment the two of them had disembarked someone was there to welcome them. He was also wearing a camouflage uniform, though his left arm had a different arm badge. Qin Jiran still didn’t understand these things but Su Yanyi obviously did and was very familiar with the man who came to welcome them.
“Uncle Yu, I haven’t seen you in a few years but you are even more spirited.” Su Yanyi took the lead in greetings then introduced him for Qin Jira’s sake. “This is Uncle Yu, the person in charge of this arms factory.”
“Uncle Yu.” Qin Jiran steadily addressed him, demonstrating his confidence and calmness while it wasn’t too haughty or affectionate.
Uncle Yu, Yu Zhentian, was once someone who had achieved great accomplishments on behalf of the Su family. He was also the previous instructor of the Dark Dragon Mercenaries and an imposing, renowned figure in the underworld. He was a core figure of the Su family that Grandpa Su had personally groomed and he was now in charge of the arms factory.
When Su Yanyi and Su Yanmo were young, Yu Zhentian used to be their teacher. He had imparted a lot of knowledge to the two of them so Su Yanyi held him in extremely high regard.
“That’s all good, hahaha. In the past when the Elder Miss was young she was just like a doll. Now she has grown up and even has a husband. Uncle Yu can’t not admit he’s old now, haha.” Yu Zhenian was very happy. He had seen Su Yanyi grow up and it was just like watching a daughter bring her husband home.
After that, Yu Zhentian brought the two of them on a detailed tour around the factory. As expected, the Su family’s arms factory lived up to its name. Qin Jiran was shaken after looking.
At night, the two of them stayed at a building outside the arms factory. After dinner, Su Yanyi told Qin Jiran that she had something to settle and left him alone.
Qin Jiran felt that Su Yanyi was being a bit weird, as if she was hiding something but he didn’t pursue it. He just waited in the building for Su Yanyi to return for about four hours until it had reached midnight, only then did Su Yanyi returned tiredly to the building.
When Su Yanyi got back, Qin Jiran had been sitting in the living room reading a book, though obviously absent-mindedly. He was mostly just waiting for her. Upon seeing her return, he immediately stood up and walked over. He looked at her from head to toe to make sure she was alright before saying: “You’ve returned home so late, you must be tired. I’ve already prepared the bathroom, quickly go and wash up.”
However, Su Yanyi didn’t immediately go. Instead, passed him the thing she had been holding in her hand. Not sure if it was because she had been infected by the System’s gifting but Su Yanyi also crafted the gun in gold, making the gun seem more exquisite and expensive.
“It’s for you.” Su Yanyi looked expectantly at Qin Jiran. Compared to the gifts from before, she felt that this should be more to Qin Jiran’s liking.
“It’s such a beautiful gun, where did you find it? Did you go out for so long to look for a gun for me?” Qin Jiran couldn’t be counted as stupid. In an instant, he had guessed half the picture but as for the other half, he couldn’t have guessed that the exquisite gun had been handcrafted by Su Yanyi.
“I made it myself, do you like it?” Of course, a lot of parts were already pre-made but she had made some adjustments and had personally put them together. In all, she contributed to more than 50% of the workmanship.
“You even know how to make guns?” Qin Jiran really wanted to ask another question, is there anything that you don’t know how to do?!
Upon seeing Qin Jiran’s expression, Su Yanyi did feel that bit of pride. After thinking about it seriously, she felt that she really did know many things and she was getting even closer to becoming a virtuous wife.
“So do you like it?” Su Yanyi pursued the question. Although she was pleased with herself on the inside, she didn’t show it.
“I like it! Thank you!” Qin Jiran caressed the gun in his hand. He had received so many gifts from Yanyi, plus most of them were handmade by her. All of them were made with a lot of sincerity, making him not just happy, but moved.
Su Yanyi smiled but didn’t say anything further. She turned around to head to the bathroom. Qin Jiran happily fiddled with the gold, ostentatious gun then carefully kept it. Every gift that Su Yanyi had given him was his most precious treasure, each one of them to be kept carefully for forever.
As for a return gift, Qin Jiran gave it that night, using all his energy to return the favour. The two of them rolled around until the sun was about to rise and only then did they go to bed. In the end, Su Yanyi didn’t even know if she had passed out or she had fallen asleep. All she remembered was that this man was just like a bull, he just kept saying that he would try his best to the point that she never wanted to hear ‘try his best’ ever again!
It was a pity that Qin Jiran’s return gift was declared invalid by the System. However, Su Yanyi wasn’t really nit-picking anymore as she had already been immersed in the guy’s efforts!
By the time the two of them woke up it was already the afternoon, they had even missed breakfast. Qin Jiran felt a bit bad, he really had been quite rash last night. After Su Yanyi had showered, he couldn’t help but to throw himself at her. The next thing he knew, it was now.
As for Su Yanyi when she woke up, she had first been a bit dazed because her body and mind were tired. For the usually spirited Su Yanyi, she wasn’t really used to it. However, the confusion had only lasted a moment. When she remembered the torture from last night, she became ‘not good’. She had clearly told him she didn’t want to anymore, but this man dared to ignore her and even caused her to pass out. It was just too despicable!
Just not being unable to hold back, Su Yanyi bit Qin Jiran’s chest out of anger borne from embarrassment. Who asked you not to listen, who asked you to try your best, who asked you to make me pass out, see if I bite you to death!
“Yanyi, stop biting me, it’ll hurt your teeth.” Qin Jiran’s suppression of laughter rang out from his head and was heard by Su Yanyi. She momentarily became even less calm and increased the force behind her bite by several notches!
“Loquacious!” This man was actually still laughing at her, he really has turned naughty. However, she felt that this change was actually quite interesting. She felt a sweetness in her heart. Scolding him while pouting was really seductive, making Qin Jiran go cross-eyed. He hugged Su Yanyi while giving her a passionate kiss. A man who had just woken up always was a bit out of control.
They had missed breakfast and almost lunch. Su Yanyi wasn’t full from eating human flesh and Qin Jiran obviously wasn’t full from eating Su Yanyi either. One of them had bitten enough while the other hadn’t but it wasn’t good to continue lying in bed. Su Yanyi kicked Qin Jiran out of bed and chased him to make lunch.
After Qin Jiran got out of bed, he secretly gave himself a pat on the back. He had worked hard all night and again in the morning. So what if his wife had bitten him and given him a few kicks, they were all declarations of love!
Qin Jiran continued thinking as he made breakfast. After working her so hard, he definitely had to make something nutritious for Yanyi.
It had to be said that Qin Jiran was becoming even more thick-skinned but perhaps this was the power of love. The respect and love Su Yanyi had for him allowed him to slowly gain confidence and to become even more proactive and calm in his interactions with Yanyi. At the same time, it also allowed their relationship to become more harmonious.
The two of them spent another day at the factory mainly because Qin Jiran was interested in such things. They had visited each workshop, opening his eyes even more and allowing him to learn something. At the end, he was able to learn how to craft a gun from a master. Although he didn’t have Yanyi’s skills, he still crafted one out.
“Yanyi, don’t despise it. Although it’s little crude, it’s my first time making a gun. Can I give it to you?” Looking at the gun he had made himself, Qin Jiran felt a bit proud but also a bit embarrassed. There was a big difference in the ones he and Yanyi had made. However, it was the first gun that he had made and he really wanted to give it to Yanyi.
“Can this be considered as exchanging tokens of love? Other people exchange rings but we exchange guns, it’s pretty unique.” Su Yanyi naturally wouldn’t refuse, receiving it and give it a once over. Although it wasn’t made as well as hers, she still liked it.
At this moment, the System’s voice unsurprisingly rang out.
[Congratulations to Master for accomplishing the mission once again. One point has been added. There are now 29 points in total. Please continue working hard, Master!]
29 points already, just one more point is needed. This one point had already been arranged by her early on; she would definitely help Qin Jiran obtain 50% of the Qin Corp’s shares! However, quite a bit more time would be needed to gain the entire 50%, should she just gift him a portion first?
Su Yanyi counted it again in her mind. She now had 12% of the Qin Corp’s shares and was currently planning to buy out close to 20%. A majority of the shares belonged to members of the Qin family and were relatively easier to obtain. As for the rest of the shares, she needed to think of something else. Besides, she still didn’t have 20% so more time was needed to wait for the result.
Su Yanyi didn’t want to wait for too long. She just needed one more point to level up. 001 had said that since the System had obtained the golden gemstone, there would be a huge change after she reached level four, leaving her with some anticipation.
“It is very unique, but as long as you like it it’s worth it.” Both of them had handcrafted guns to gift the other. It really did seem like they were exchanging tokens of love. Thinking to this point, Qin Jiran smiled with satisfaction. Actually, he felt that this wasn’t the only token of love he had received. Every gift Yanyi had given was a token of love to him!
After spending two days at the arms factory, the two of them finally reached the Su family’s base located at the mother island. At the same time, little Su Nuo, accompanied by Mother Su, had also come to the island. Passengers included one big animal and one small animal which were the white tiger Xiao Bai (Little Whitey) and the golden turtle Xiao Meng (Cutie). Including Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran, they became a sightseeing group. This livened up the entire island.
