So Sweet

After joining the group at the hotel, Fang Zhou and Qin Yun listened to the guide’s instructions before heading to their room to drop off their luggage.

“Want to go for a stroll?”

Fang Zhou couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw Qin Yun eagerly throw herself onto the bed as soon as they entered.

“Didn’t you just sleep on the boat?”

Why was she back in bed already?

The beautiful lady, lazily reclining on the bed, opened her eyes and glanced at Fang Zhou, then said, “I need a good nap now to have energy for tonight.”

Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow, his thoughts beginning to wander.

He took a couple of steps forward, mimicking Qin Yun by throwing himself onto the bed and pulling the alluring beauty into his arms, suggestively asking, “Energy? The kind I’m thinking of?”

If so, Fang Zhou felt ready and could forgive Qin Yun’s nap.

He might even be up for a marathon with her!

Qin Yun laughed, knowing he misunderstood, but she didn’t correct him. Instead, she nodded, her voice teasingly seductive, “Exactly that. Want to nap with me?”

Fang Zhou grinned mischievously, his hands starting to wander.

“Why wait for tonight? Let’s get started now!”

Qin Yun pressed his hands down, then stood up, leaving him empty-handed.

“Hahaha, just kidding. Let’s go; the guide is taking us to lunch!”

Fang Zhou glanced down at his disappointed friend, silently lighting a candle.

Sorry, buddy, you can see but not touch. You’ll have to wait.

Qin Yun’s playful teasing worked wonders, as Fang Zhou’s eyes stayed glued to her, like a child trailing an adult for candy.

In the buffet, when Qin Yun went for fruit, he was right behind her.

When she went for juice, he followed, afraid she’d slip away.

This delighted Qin Yun, keeping a smile on her lips the entire time.

Even when they sat down, she sweetly fed Fang Zhou grapes, rewarding her obedient boyfriend.

This scene caught the attention of certain observers, like an irritating speck of sand in their eyes.

Fang Zhou felt a cold gaze on his back, like an icy arrow, sending chills down his spine.

He quickly turned to look but found nothing.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs, paying no attention to him.

“What’s wrong, Fang Zhou? Looking for someone?”

Qin Yun noticed his odd behavior and asked gently.

Fang Zhou shook his head, retracting his gaze, and said, “Nothing, just felt like someone was watching us.”

“Probably because you’re so handsome.”

Qin Yun elegantly picking up an apple slice and popped it into her mouth, chewing slowly.

Hearing his girlfriend’s compliment, Fang Zhou felt a bit embarrassed, then dismissed her theory.

“No, I just feel like there’s someone familiar here.”

Qin Yun’s smile faltered; she found it unlikely.

She had carefully chosen this secluded island, far from the world, to avoid any familiar faces.

Qin Yun picking up another apple slice and fed it to Fang Zhou, soothingly saying, “Don’t overthink it. If there’s someone familiar, they’ll come say hi.”

In her mind, she thought: Even if there are familiar faces, they better pretend I’m dead.

She wouldn’t let anyone ruin her engagement plans.

With that thought, Qin Yun glanced toward the restaurant’s southeast corner, where staff awaited.

Across from her, someone casually gestured, signaling that everything was ready for the evening.

If Han Xi were here, she’d recognize this person.

They were a key member of Guo Zhu’s company, sent to oversee this crucial project for Qin Yun.

But Han Xi didn’t need to be present to know what would happen that night.

All she had to do was wait.

What seemed like an ordinary meal turned chaotic with Song Qinghuan’s arrival.

“May I sit here?”

Her graceful voice drew attention.

She was addressing Fang Zhou.

He frowned, puzzled by her presence.

“What are you doing here?”

Qin Yun was even more shocked to see Song Qinghuan.

Why was she on this island?

Such a coincidence?

Song Qinghuan wore a polite smile, winking at Fang Zhou before seating herself beside him.

“Just here for a vacation!”

“But I’m not lucky. I got stood up as soon as I arrived. My companions left for various reasons, leaving me alone.”

“Seeing you two familiar faces, I thought you wouldn’t mind me joining, right?”

Qin Yun’s face darkened several shades.

What nonsense!

A tree without bark dies, and a person without shame is invincible.

Song Qinghuan knew she and Fang Zhou were a couple. How could she shamelessly ask to join them?

Fang Zhou didn’t expect Song Qinghuan’s chatter to lead to wanting to join them.

Before Qin Yun could speak, he refused.

“No, I mind.”

His blunt words were like an executioner’s blade, cutting off Song Qinghuan’s hopes.

But she seemed unfazed, as if expecting this outcome, merely sighing, “Well, okay.”

“If you refuse, I’ll have to enjoy myself alone.”

“At least let me finish this meal here?”

“Please, please, eating alone is so awkward!”

At that moment, Song Qinghuan seemed like a girl simply wanting company for a meal.

Fang Zhou opened his mouth to speak, but Qin Yun beat him to it.

“Sure, sit and eat.”

This caught Fang Zhou’s attention; she must have a plan!

Qin Yun gave him a reassuring look.

Then she speared a grape from her plate and fed it to Fang Zhou.

“Eat this.”

Fang Zhou was puzzled, biting into the grape, about to spit it out, when Qin Yun suddenly leaned in.

Her soft lips covered his, immobilizing him.

In her peripheral vision, Qin Yun saw Song Qinghuan’s face darken.

“So sweet.”

Her words carried a double meaning, her smile elegant and carefree.
