Chapter 209 Her Bikini Fell Off (1/2)
Chen Huan and the others were standing in a line on a wooden bridge in the villa zone. Xin Qing and Zhang Mi were staring at Boss Wan with worried looks on their faces whereas Ying Qingcang, Young Master Shen, and Xunxun were looking at him gloatingly. Chen Huan stood in the front of the queue with an amused expression.
”What a coincidence!” Boss Wan said, shoving Avril away. ”You're here on a vacation as well?”
Splash! The villa zone had been established in a shallow region of the gulf. When Boss Wan shoved Avril away just now, he had failed to control his strength. Avril fell straight into the sea.
”I think you should help her up first,” said Chen Huan, pointing a finger at Avril. ”Her bikini had fallen off.”
Apparently, the bikini that Avril had worn was not designed for taking dips in the sea; the fabric came loose the moment it came into contact with water, revealing Avril's voluptuous twin mounds. Zhang Mi's first reaction was to glance at Young Master Shen, who smiled back at her before he turned away from the scene. Xin Qing did not have to worry about Ying Qingcang at all; the man's hand on the small of her back was already pushing her forward and away from the scene. Beside her ear, Ying Qingcang's menacing grumble sounded.
”Fucking disgusting.”
”She's just someone asking me for directions, that's all. I don't know her!” Boss Wan said with a straight face. After that, he trailed after Chen Huan. ”Here, let me take your luggage for you!” Throughout the entire exchange, Boss Wan's facial expression was completely neutral and impassive. Xin Qing wondered if he had suffered some kind of permanent damage in his facial muscle tissues.
Once they got settled, Chen Huan came to look for Xin Qing.
”You guys set me up, didn't you?”
The gears in Xin Qing's mind turned. She recalled what Xunxun had told her last time: ”My mom has a very high IQ. But her EQ is practically zero. You don't have to stress too much about your plans to set her up with my old man. I assure you that she'll take the bait!”
”What? That's impossible,” Xin Qing said, feigning a look of surprise. ”How do we even know where to find Boss Wan, anyway? He usually just pops out of nowhere.”
Chen Huan thought for a moment. ”True,” she said. ”That man is so busy, though. How did he end up here for a vacation?”
”Who knows? Maybe he's suddenly not busy anymore?” Xin Qing said, patting Chen Huan's head. ”Isn't this perfect, though? You can now enjoy a vacation together. I'm sure a chance liks this is hard to come by!”
”Hey, that's scary, okay?” Chen Huan grabbed Xin Qing's hand. ”He's a frigging international terrorist, you know. It's too risky for him to even show up on your island. Ooh, I know. Why don't you chase him off the island!”
Xin Qing found the whole thing highly amusing. Based on what Ying Qingcang had told her, Chen Huan and Boss Wan had known each other for seven years. Heck, they even had Xunxun together. But the thing was, Chen Huan refused to marry Boss Wan no matter what. She kept insisting that she was the victim.
Then again, throughout the long years where Boss Wan was involved in the production of biological weapons, not a single one of the weird gadgets he used had not been given to him by Chen Huan. Not even the country had access to Chen Huan's gadgets, and yet she had given them straight to Boss Wan. It was glaringly obvious that Chen Huan cared about him. What, did she think everyone else was blind?
In Xunxun's own words, Chen Huan and Boss Wan had ”fallen into bed by accident” that year; that was how Xunxun came to this world. It was also the reason for Chen Huan's long-standing belief that Boss Wan only wanted to marry her because of her son, not because he loved her. Plus, they had both been busy with their own thing all year long, so they did not really have the chance to talk and make things clear between them. This time around, Boss Wan was hell-bent on sealing the deal and finally getting himself a wife. Too bad everything was ruined before it even began.
”Don't worry about it, okay? He and Ying Qingcang are good friends,” Xin Qing said. ”Who knows he might join us for lunch later!”
Chen Huan thought Xin Qing had totally jinxed it; Boss Wan really did end up joining them for lunch. In fact, he was sitting right beside her. Chen Huan stood up to leave. But Xunxun slinked up to her and whispered, ”If you go, he'll think that you care.”
”Alrighty, then! Let's eat!” Chen Huan thought, sitting back down in a dignified and regal manner. Throughout the meal, she behaved herself and acted graciously. She even finished every bit of food that Boss Wan had placed on her plate. Still, she managed to sneak away the very instant lunch was over. Boss Wan nonchalantly took the key from Xunxun's hand. Turning to Boss Wan, Young Master Shen pressed his right fist against the flat of his palm and held them out in front of his chest, just like how a martial artist would greet his opponent before a duel. ”All you need to do now is to get her on a bed and boom! Mission accomplished!” said Young Master Shen. That comment earned him a vicious kick under the table from Zhang Mi.
Xin Qing's original plan was to bring Zhang Mi around the island to do some sightseeing, since Zhang Mi would be heading to New York with Young Master Shen tomorrow to spend the Chinese New Year with Shen Batian before rejoining the group on the fifth day of Chinese New Year. Too bad Ying Qingcang had other ideas in mind when he dragged Xin Qing back to their room after the meal.
”Let's take a nap,” Ying Qingcang said, his hands working on taking her clothes off as they headed in the direction of the bedroom.
Xin Qing smacked his hands away. ”I can get changed on my own.”
With darkened eyes, Ying Qingcang watched as Xin Qing ran off to get changed. The corners of his lips tugged into a smirk and he stripped himself naked. Then, he lay on the bed and waited for her return. Xin Qing had changed into a pair of long pajama bottoms and a long-sleeved shirt. When she pulled the covers off, she shrieked.
”Why are you naked?!”
Ying Qingcang rolled over and trapped her body beneath his. ”We're going to sleep, right? Of course we have to be naked.” After that, he tugged her shirt upwards and over her head. When the shirt reached her wrists, he paused and tied the shirt together in a knot.
Beside the bed, the vast and endless expanse of blue ocean lay. Tall conifers swayed in the breeze. Xin Qing felt her thoughts growing heavier as it sank lower, bit by bit. It felt as if she was now wrapped up in the warmth of the ocean, like she had been turned into to pieces of seagrass...
Some time later, Ying Qingcang carried her to the water where they took a dip together. Her smooth, lustrous skin gleamed amidst the cerulean sea water, rendering Ying Qingcang incapable of taking his hands off her. He felt himself sinking deeper as his entire being drowned in the beauty that was Xin Qing.
Limp and languid, Xin Qing leaned herself against his chest, humming appreciateively as she allowed him to make love to her.
It was already nightfall when Ying Qingcang finished off their final round of lovemaking. By then, the sea water had gone still and, due to the villa's lighting, was starting to resemble a piece of beautiful sapphire. Light reflected and glimmered on the water surface like layers of fish scales. The water splashed against both of their bodies as Xin Qing shifted in Ying Qingcang's embrace. Ying Qingcang had no intention of letting her go.
”Hey, hold on. Let me just stay like this for a while!”
Xin Qing glared at him, and the look in her eyes made Ying Qingcang's length hardened again. Xin Qing felt the change in his body and quickly sat still.
”It's easier to get pregnant this way according to the doctor!” Ying Qingcang bit down on her earlobe. ”We need to hurry up and make a son.”
”What's wrong with a daughter?” Xin Qing grumbled in dissastisfaction.
Ying Qingcang stroked the flesh around her waist, pinching it occasionally. ”A daughter's fine, too, of course!” he said with alacrity. ”But it will have to be after we have a son.”
”You're a sexist!”
